The next day, Xiao Nianzhiyin got up at the right time.
At this moment, the sky was still slightly dark, with only a faint light.
The reason why Xiao Nianzhi got up so early was that extracting butter took time.
One is that if you want to make meal kits, you need to ferment the dough thoroughly so that the meal kits will be delicious.
It takes a lot of time to wake up. If she doesn't get up early, they won't be able to eat it until noon.
Xiao Nianzhi originally thought that he would be alone when he got up so early.
As a result, after a simple wash, when I went to the well to look at the milk, I found two guards standing there.
Seeing the person, Xiao Nianzhi asked uncertainly: "Night watch?"
The two guards looked at each other and then nodded.
Free labor, Xiao Nianzhi felt it was a pity not to use it.
So, she first greeted two people and brought up the milk.
Then it’s time to extract the butter.
The top layer of grease is easy to extract, but there will still be some residual grease inside. If it is not extracted, wouldn't it be a waste?
Therefore, two people still need to beat it manually to improve the utilization rate of butter.
Aunt Yu usually wakes up at this time, but she may not get up and just stay lazy in bed for a while.
When she woke up today and listened to the noise outside, she couldn't help but got up. After briefly washing herself, she came to see if there was anything she could do to help.
Xiao Nianzhi is making noodles at the moment.
For breakfast today, she was going to make custard hass.
This is relatively easy to operate, and she has almost all the required materials. If she doesn't have them, she will find a way to find a substitute.
So, do this.
Yesterday afternoon, Manager Qiu gave them some peaches.
This is almost the last batch of late peaches from the academy.
There was a lot of it, so Xiao Nianzhi thought he could make some peach jam. When eating custard and hass later, if someone feels the taste is bland, they can put a little of this on it and eat it.
Bread making usually requires high-gluten flour.
Because it needs its own strength.
If you want it to be high in gluten, you need enough protein in the flour.
Adding egg white to normal medium-gluten flour can also increase the protein in it to achieve the purpose of high-gluten flour.
So, don’t panic if you don’t have high-gluten flour.
Today there is no yeast, but there is a starter, and the principles of fermentation are similar.
Last night, Xiao Nianzhi asked Aunt Rich and the others for a piece of this, so she could mix it into the noodles and use it today.
In fact, yeast can also be extracted, but there are ready-made things available, and Xiao Nianzhi is too lazy to bother. He will try it again when he has the opportunity.
Custard Haas, just by looking at the name, you will know that it contains eggs and milk, and it needs to be very fragrant.
Therefore, the initial ingredients need to have enough ingredients that can enhance the milky aroma.
For example, condensed milk.
These things are all ready-made. It's hot today and many things can't be stored. Xiao Nianzhi thinks it's good to use them early.
If you need it later, you can do it again.
Condensed milk, milk, eggs, flour, sugar, and starter are all put in at once.
The dough for making bread is not like steaming steamed buns. It needs to be kneaded and deflated repeatedly.
Bread dough requires scrubbing and pressing. After it rises and relaxes, it only needs to be pressed.
The ratio of ingredients, the technique of making noodles, including the various processes in between, all need to be mastered and understood. Only then can the custard hass that comes out have a soft taste, like soft clouds in the sky, and the aroma of egg and milk are intertwined, which is fascinating.
The dough for custard hass needs to be proofed twice and rested twice.
When Xiao Nianzhi was in modern times, he didn't often engage in baking. because……
It takes five minutes to eat and half a day of work.
just for
After this bite, I might as well find a delicious shop and buy some food.
But now there is no ready-made one, so I can only do it slowly by myself.
The two guards were captured early in the morning. They had no time to spare, and the same was true for Xiao Nianzhi.
After the dough is almost kneaded, salt and butter need to be added.
Then, continue to rub and massage until the butter is completely incorporated, and then start beating vigorously.
Aunt Yu watched for a long time and found that there was nothing she could do to help, so she followed Xiao Nianzhi's instructions and went to make peach jam.
By the time Yan Xingxuan came over after freshening up, Xiao Nianzhi was already proofing the dough for the second time.
After it has risen this time, change the knife, and then you can bake it in the oven.
For this step, you need to go to the canteen in front to operate.
The small kitchen in the backyard does not have an oven.
Yan Xingxuan originally thought that he had woken up early enough.
As a result, I came over and saw that the butter had been extracted, the dough had risen, and even the peach jam had been poured out and placed in a jar on the side to cool.
Yan Xingxuan:.
There is no sense of participation, and I always feel that there is less achievement.
He thought he had gotten up early enough.
As a result, it didn't.
He came over to say hello to Xiao Nianzhi first, then looked at the dough that was proofing, then at the peach sauce, and then at the unused milk and butter.
It feels like every one of them is fragrant and tempting to him.
However, he doesn't know which one he can start eating now.
Xiao Nianzhi saw that the time was almost up and called Yan Xingxuan forward: "Come on, let's go bake bread."
She didn't need to carry the basin of dough, the guards could do it for her.
At this moment, just after midnight, the sky above our heads is blue, clean and clear, and the distant horizon is smudged with rays of light and crimson all over the sky.
Perhaps because their location was closer to the back mountain, they always felt that the air was particularly fresh, with a faint fragrance of vegetation.
Yan Xingxuan slowly followed Xiao Nianzhi, turning his head from time to time and asking in a low voice: "When did you get up?"
"Are you tired?"
"You can ask the guards to call me when you get up early in the future. I can get up too and I can help."
Yan Xingxuan always felt a little regretful about not participating in what happened this morning.
It's hard to talk about other things, but he expressed it straightforwardly on this matter.
Xiao Nianzhi got up early to make meal packages. When she heard Yan Xingxuan say, she thought about it before speaking: "It's very tiring to get up early."
In response, Yan Xingxuan shook his head: "Why are you tired? And I'm not afraid of getting tired."
How can being with Xiangxiang make people feel tired?
Yan Xingxuan felt that he would only feel happy and relaxed, and he just wished that time could stay at this moment.
Xiao Nianzhi wanted to laugh a little after hearing this, but after thinking about it, she would not refuse if the other party insisted.
After all, who doesn’t like multiple helpers?
After thinking about it, she nodded: "Yes, I will listen to my brother."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Yan Xingxuan felt that his heart was sour and swollen, and all kinds of tastes were intertwined. In the end, it seemed that all that was left was...
Sweetness and pleasure.
Thinking about being willing to listen to him, Yan Xingxuan just thought about it and felt that he couldn't control his joyful and dancing steps.
