Chapter 220 Biting Spring
Nanzhi spoke eloquently, without even the slightest pause, speaking smoothly and naturally.
Not to mention the students, even Teacher Zhang and the others heard for the first time the theory of health-preserving diet according to spring, summer, autumn and winter and the twenty-four solar terms. They all listened with great interest, even more enthusiastic than the students!
Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, everyone was dumbfounded!
【Your cooking class seems different from mine...】
【Meow meow meow? Are all cooking classes in schools so high-end these days? He actually talked about traditional Chinese medicine from cooking? 】
【The wisdom of our ancestors is that one method can solve all problems! I find it very interesting! 】
【The cooking class offered by my daughter’s school does not cover these things, otherwise I would have to go to the class too! 】
【Who would have thought that I would be so excited to listen to celebrities talking about health care on the live broadcast of Wazong! 】
【Is everything Nazhi said true? You won’t mislead others, right? 】
[The Chinese medicine major is here, and she is right! 】
【Nanzhi’s knowledge is really broad. Should he be said to be a top student at Yanda? 】
【Shh, lower your voice, don’t disturb me from listening to Teacher Nan’s lecture! 】
......
The main purpose of Nazhi throwing out this theory of "not eating from time to time" is to introduce the following:
"As mentioned just now, you should eat spring leeks in spring, which are more pungent and less sour. In fact, ancient people realized this earlier than us. In the pre-Qin period, there were grand ceremonies to welcome spring. "Book of Rites·Yue Ling" records, On the day of the beginning of spring, the emperor will lead the three princes, nine ministers, and the princes and officials to worship the spring god Jumang to pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year. At this time, a kind of food appears, called Wuxin plate, which is Wuxin. Five kinds of vegetables, "Compendium of Materia Medica" explains that five pungent vegetables generally refer to onions, leeks, polygonum, mugwort, mustard and other pungent and tender vegetables. It is a must-have food for festivals just like Tusu wine. However, you will know it just by the name. , these five pungent dishes will definitely not taste good, so people who like to eat them gradually replaced the vegetables in them. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, the five pungent dishes evolved into spring dishes, which became increasingly refined and included various vegetables in thin pancakes. ...Do you feel familiar when you hear this? Yes, this is the origin of spring cakes. In the Ming Dynasty, people only called spring cakes and no longer called spring pans."
[That’s it! Teacher Nan, I understand! 】
【Our family still has the custom of eating radish! 】
【The ancients were so poetic and romantic. They actually described chewing radish as chewing spring? 】
[The runcakes we eat in southern Fujian seem to have evolved from spring cakes. There is a time-honored shop near my home that is very skilled in making dough. They beat flour and water into a soft dough, hang it on your hand, and add it to the hot pancake. Just roll the side of the pot around and a piece of cake is ready! After returning home, cut the carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, dried tofu, etc. into shreds, and add bean sprouts, minced celery, coriander and other accessories, and occasionally add peanut powder and powdered sugar for seasoning. It is especially delicious! 】
[This recipe sounds a bit familiar. Wasn’t the peanut roll ice cream from Wanwan Night Market very popular on social platforms some time ago? It seems to be made just like the southern Fujian cake. The crust is sprinkled with ice cream, peanut powder and coriander. The taste is amazing! 】
【What? Ice cream with cilantro? What kind of heresy is this! 】
【We also have spring pancakes in Kawachi. Add shredded potatoes, carrots, and kelp to it, mix it with spicy oil, and pour some sweet vinegar when eating...Oh, I can’t help it, I swallowed. Go downstairs and buy spring cakes immediately! 】
【Nanzhi and the others are in our province. Don’t you also have silk dolls in your province? It’s a small one, with more than a dozen kinds of side dishes inside, and it’s served with home-made spicy, sour and fresh dipping sauce. In one word, it’s amazing! 】
【Okay, okay, put it all here to show off, right? If you accidentally offend me, I will immediately... buy a plane ticket to eat in your hometown! But I would like to humbly ask where I should buy a ticket to fly to first? 】
[Haha, our motherland is a vast country with abundant resources, and its food has its own origins. How can we be ranked first? 】
【If nothing else, I want to eat the spring cakes made by Nanzhi the most! 】
......
The audience was discussing lively in the barrage, and the interest in discussion was unprecedentedly high!
In major search engines, keyword searches for "spring cakes", "spring bites", and "ancient spring customs" are also increasing hundreds of times. Who would have thought that Nanzhi not only taught a lesson to the village primary school children, but also taught a lesson to countless viewers through the Internet cable?
This directly promotes food exchanges from various places and stimulates netizens’ desire to discuss food.
Later, even major official accounts joined the PK and stood up for the spring delicacies of their hometowns.
Of course, these are things for later.
At present, Nanzhi, after having almost finished the knowledge about tracing the origin, started to practice.
Yesterday, Teacher Zhang temporarily allocated her a teaching fund. Nanzhi took the money and took a ride to a nearby town to buy some needed ingredients and utensils, which she just needed now.
Nanzhi took the lead in setting an example——
Spring pancakes have a long history in gourmet food. After developing to various places, different ways of eating them evolved.
Some are as big as a tea tray, and some are as small as a palm.
However, the unified standard is probably that spring cakes are as thin as cicada wings, delicate and soft.
There are different ways to make spring pancakes, including steaming, baking, frying...
Nanzhi mainly uses the first two. She first kneads flour and water into dough, pinches it into a dough, and rolls it out. Open it into a small cake, brush the middle with oil, then fold it together, then roll it out into a thin, almost light-transmitting state, and then steam it in a bamboo basket. The dough will soon be cooked. Gently peel it off and it will be as thin as a cake. Rice paper spring cake crust.
In addition, Nanzhi also uses the baking method, which is to prepare the batter with suitable humidity and spread it on the pan. This requires skill and patience. If you don’t grasp the degree well, the spring cake will easily become If it's too thick, it won't taste like it when you eat it.
Because the latter is more difficult, Nanzhi is just demonstrating. The main thing is to let the students choose whether to steam or bake by themselves during the actual practice.
Next, it was the students’ turn to take action.
It was impossible for everyone with more than 50 students to be assigned a pot and stove, so Nanzhi simply asked all students to divide into groups and take turns to use them.
The children are very sensible, and the whole thing is in order. There is no chaos at all as some people speculated.
Nanzhi shuttled back and forth among the students, occasionally giving guidance.
She found that most students chose steaming because this method was simpler and the dough was softer.
Only a small number of students chose pancakes, which shows that they are not afraid of difficulties and brave to challenge.
Nanzhi glanced over and saw a small figure among the small figures baking spring cakes.
It is southern Italy.
His back was facing her.
Nanzhi didn’t have to go around to the front to think of Nanyi’s current expression. He must be gritting his teeth and refusing to admit defeat.
