After the dough had risen, Xiao Nianzhi started making purple rice cakes.
For purple rice cakes, you can tell who is the master and who is the auxiliary just by looking at the name.
The main thing is to eat purple rice, so the purple rice should be thick and the crust should be light and thin.
Therefore, the thin skin must have a bit of toughness, and it must be rolled out extremely thin, so that the final effect of the pan will be the best.
While Xiao Nianzhi was rolling out the dough, Yan Xingxuan's uncle and nephew were watching the fun.
At this time, you can't get involved at all!
How can two people who are new to chopping vegetables make good dough?
So, watch and watch.
Soon, the cake skins were rolled out one by one, and then the purple rice was put into a square box to shape, then cut and wrapped.
After that, the corners are tightly packed in preparation for being put into the pot later.
As each small square was wrapped, Guo Sixue and the others stopped being busy and gathered around to watch the fun together.
Watching the purple rice wrapped in white with a hint of yellowish dough, watching Xiao Nianwei neatly stack them up with quick movements.
After that, heat the oil again.
Brush only a thin layer on the bottom of the pot, then put the small squares into the pot and fry slowly over low heat.
Because the purple rice is cooked, you only need to fry the outer crust.
However, if you want it to taste good, it requires more than just being cooked.
It is also necessary to fry all aspects of the purple rice cake until it is caramelized and slightly crispy.
When the time comes, whether you split the purple rice cake in two or bite it open directly, you will be able to feel the crispy crust on the outside and the softness of the purple rice on the inside.
One soft and one hard, although it is a contrast, it is also a progressive progression of deliciousness.
As time goes by, the thin crust of the cake has been fried until it is golden and charred. The aroma of wheat is intertwined with the aroma of vegetable oil. Yan Changxia, who is lighting the fire, can't help but poke his head to see: "Are you ready?" ,Done yet?"
Although the fragrance of the purple rice cake is not overbearing, the long and long light fragrance attracts people's hearts for a longer time.
Although Guo Sixue and the others didn't ask too much, they couldn't help but move closer to see if it was okay.
This continuous fragrance is really torturous!
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the first piece of purple rice cake was finally fried until it was golden and crispy on all sides, and it was ready to be taken out of the pan!
It's just a piece of cake...
Not enough points!
Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi is still busy, and Yan Changxia is also lighting the fire.
Everyone was too embarrassed to move and could only wait anxiously.
Zhou Libai was a little reserved at first, but in the extended fragrance of delicious food, she slowly lost herself and gradually relaxed a lot.
Frying purple rice cakes is a job that requires patience. Xiao Nianzhi called Yan Xingxuan, who was quite patient and had good learning ability, and almost taught him step by step.
Yan Xingxuan learned step by step with a solemn expression.
After initially mastering some skills, Xiao Nianzhi directly handed over the work to him.
Yan Xingxuan:?
I can't! ! !
Seeing that Yan Xingxuan was about to give up, Xiao Nianzhi immediately persuaded him softly: "Brother, it's okay."
"This is very simple, brother, you can try it."
"If you feel bad, brother can call me and I will cook over there."
…
Yan Xingxuan was lost in the shouts of his brother one after another, waving the shovel in his hand, and for a moment he was full of pride. For those who didn't know, he thought he was going to the battlefield to kill the enemy!
Then, Yan Xingxuan rushed.
Xiao Nianzhi turned around and went to prepare the dishes and soup.
A few quick dishes that don’t actually require much trouble.
Some require shredded ginger and chopped dogwood to stir-fry, while others only require shredded ginger.
The cold dish lacked a lot of soul because it didn't have minced garlic, so Xiao Nianzhi had to squeeze out some spicy oil from dogwood and garnish it a little.
However, the overall process is not difficult, it’s just that there are more dishes and it’s a little more troublesome.
Of course, Xiao Nianzhi didn't just abandon it.
After all, Yan Xingxuan is a newbie, so she definitely needs to keep an eye on him more, and come over to give some advice during the cooking breaks.
With her guidance from time to time, Yan Xingxuan managed to bake a piece of purple rice cake despite stumbling.
And he did it so well that even Xiao Nianzhi praised him: "This is good, brother, come on!"
If it weren't for his rationality, Yan Xingxuan felt that he would be swollen in one second, and the next second he would be ready to challenge the imperial chef in the palace!
Others find that they cannot help a lot, but they can still help with details.
So, everyone worked together and finally had dinner ready before lighting the lamp.
It gets dark later in summer, but even so, it was already getting dark when they made dinner.
In order to make it easier to eat, the eldest princess motioned for people to hold the lamp in their hands.
When eating, she still liked the feeling of bright candlelight, so she ordered people to hold more lights.
Anyway, she brought her own candle, so even the little novice at the door couldn't say anything.
The purple rice cakes were baked before and were covered with a curtain. In addition, it was not cold in summer, so things cooled slowly.
So, serve it now and the temperature is just right.
In order to make it easier to eat, Xiao Nianzhi divided the small cubes into two.
When it was cut open, heat rose from it, making the purple rice dreamy.
At this time, it finally has a bit of the noble atmosphere and visual effects of tribute.
However, it will be eliminated soon!
The purple rice cake divided into two is easier to eat, but when you cut it, everyone can still clearly see the soft and slightly sticky feeling.
Guo Yinghui was young and felt that he didn't need to be so scrupulous, so he swallowed and his voice was quite obvious.
However, no one laughed at him.
After all, I can't speak for fear that my saliva will drip out and embarrass you again!
At this time, everyone was carefully controlling their saliva and had no intention of caring about others.
Xiao Nianzhi quickly brought out the last dish and sat next to Aunt Yu.
When everyone gathered, we finally started.
Everyone took a look at the eldest princess first and found that she had already picked up a piece of purple rice cake without any courtesy, and the others followed suit.
Although purple rice cakes are often baked, there are more wolves and less meat, so grab them quickly!
When Yan Xingxuan ate, he tried to remain as elegant as possible, but not at a slow pace, which was the gentle way of inhaling the wind.
Of course, at the beginning, he would still give him some time to taste the food he had never eaten before.
Even if the purple rice cake is cut into two, it is still quite big.
On the eldest princess's side, Fukaye stopped her from wanting to show off, and cut the purple rice cake into small pieces in a low-key and quick manner.
However, purple rice is thick and not easy to cut.
The eldest princess watched from the side, and the good purple rice was cut into pieces. She directly stopped Fukaye's behavior, then lowered her head and showed off.
who cares.
Anyway, her image in the capital is already not very good, and she doesn't need one more.
If she has the ability, the censor will come and spray her.
This princess is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and she’s patient, so just spray it~
