Chapter 343 Rose Flower Cake
Edible roses are different from the colorful roses you usually see.
That kind of rose should be called rose to be precise.
The rose varieties handed down from ancient times in China only have two colors: purple and white.
In ancient times, there was a custom of using fragrant roses to make honeydew, such as the rose dew given to Baoyu by Mrs. Wang in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Chinese people love to eat and are good at eating. Naturally, they will not let go of roses with pleasant fragrance, so various ways of eating roses have been derived.
It is used to make rose jam, which is considered the most classic one.
There are two baskets full of roses in front of them, all handpicked from the branches by Nan Zhi and Lu Shixu. Each corolla is huge and full, with delicate petals.
Sister Fan was also very satisfied and praised them:
“I didn’t expect you to work so quickly, not much worse than the employees of our farm!”
Nanzhi was so praised that she threw her head back and laughed.
Lu Shixu saw her laughing and laughed too.
The cooking process is going on in a pleasant atmosphere -
Sister Fan probably has never watched "Cubs", so naturally she wants to teach Nanzhilu the timing.
Nanzhi smiled and declined, saying she would.
Although it was my first time to pick roses, it was not my first time to make rose jam.
Nanzhi likes the sweetness of rose jam, and makes a large amount of flower jam every spring. The longest jar has been fermented for nearly 10 years, and the flavor is so rich that it almost turns into substance.
So, she skillfully removed the stamens, washed the petals and pounded them repeatedly, then filtered out the excess flower juice with fine gauze, then added sugar, grinded and kneaded them until they became complete roses. into a very fine and uniform paste.
After that, organic honey and nuts produced on the farm were added to enrich the taste and texture.
Sister Fan just looked at it curiously at first, but within 2 minutes, she knew that Nanzhi must be a master of cooking.
That skillful gesture was beyond even her reach, and it made her look forward to the taste of rose jam even more.
After the rose sauce was ready, Sister Fan offered to try it.
Nanzhi generously picked some for her with a spoon.
Sister Fan: "Oh! It's so delicious and not astringent at all! How did Miss Nan make it? We make our own rose sauce. Without fermentation, it will always taste astringent!"
Nanzhi replied: "It should be that the degree of kneading is not enough. You should be like this..."
Nanzhi never hides his secrets.
During the live broadcast, she can talk to millions of viewers and share her cooking secrets.
To Sister Fan, I taught her without reservation.
In the meantime, I even let Sister Fan try it out.
Although there is a certain gap between the final taste and the rose sauce made by Nanzhi, it is already much better than the rose sauce made by Sister Fan before.
Sister Fan kept giving thumbs up to Nanzhi and was completely convinced by her cooking skills.
After that, Nanzhi was going to make flower cakes. Sister Fan didn’t even dare to take her eyes away, keeping every step in mind.
The making of flower cake is not difficult in Nanzhi’s opinion. It is nothing more than wrapping the pastry with oil skin, rolling it into a skin, and then wrapping the rose filling made with rose jam.
“It’s very simple, you’ll know it at a glance!”
Nanzhi promised firmly.
Sister Fan was dazzled: ...
"Well, Miss Nan, how did you rub it just now? The technique was too fast, I didn't see it."
Nan Zhi was not impatient at all. , taught it again.
This time Sister Fan understood. She said oh a few times and then followed the instructions. She learned well.
Nanzhi nodded with satisfaction:
"Sister Fan is very smart."
Sister Fan laughed and said something.
While the two were talking and laughing, they suddenly felt that the temperature around them seemed to have dropped.
When he turned his head, it was indeed the silent Lu Shixu, looking faintly at Sister Nanzhifan who had completely forgotten about him during the interaction.
Sister Fan was a little panicked.
She felt so relaxed when she was around Miss Nan. Mr. Lu's usual aloofness and aloofness were gone at all. He was so approachable and approachable that she forgot about Mr. Lu's personal intimidation. Sister Fan still relied on Lu Shixu's childhood friendship, but her awe for Lu Shixu, the boss, was still undiminished, and she immediately bowed her head and apologized.
Seeing this, Nanzhi smiled and patted Sister Fan's hand to express that it was okay.
She asked Lu Shixu nonchalantly:
"What? Do you want to learn too?"
The coldness around Lu Shixu softened instantly, like a submissive wolfdog for a second.
He spontaneously moved closer to Nanzhi and squeezed Sister Fan away quietly.
Then he asked Nanzhi studiously:
“What should I do?”
Nanzhi taught him step by step carefully.
If nothing else, Lu Shixu was at least very satisfied with the close distance between the two.
Thus, the little dissatisfaction that had been forgotten on the edge just disappeared.
Sister Fan, who quietly stepped back a few steps, breathed a sigh of relief.
I turned around and thought about Miss Nan’s superb dog training skills, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
It is a smile that is gratifying and happy to see success.
Obviously, as a student, Lu Shixu was far inferior to Sister Fan in cooking.
Thanks to Nanzhi’s patience, she even just held his hand later.
This allowed Lu Shixu to learn how to make flower cakes after repeating it for the fifth time.
The corners of Lu Shixu's mouth curled up with satisfaction.
Nanzhi belatedly realized:
"Huh? Why do I think you did it on purpose?"
"Really?"
Lu Shixu was calm and composed, without any hint of scheming.
Nanzhi thought about it carefully and found no problem, so he didn’t delve into it further.
“It’s time to send it to be baked. Sister Fan, does the farm have a kiln, right?”
Sister Fan responded repeatedly and said that the rest would be left to her.
Nanzhi was going to nod, but then he thought, the baking temperature is very important and cannot be ruined in the last step.
“I’d better go by myself.”
How can Sister Fan be unreasonable?
She drove Nanzhilu Shixu to the kitchen area where the kiln was located.
They came suddenly and bumped into a bunch of employees who were trying to catch something in the kitchen.
The employees first saw Sister Fan who was walking in the front. They were probably on good terms with each other. Their posture was very relaxed and they greeted Sister Fan with a smile:
“Sister Fan, are you here? Why didn’t the big boss follow you...?”
There was silence.
Lu Shixu appeared silently behind Sister Fan like a cold-faced Shura. With his casual attitude, he easily captured the fear of all employees.
Everyone quickly lowered their heads and began to look for things to do at hand.
Perhaps Lu Shixu was so intimidating that some people even cooked on the stove without fire, making the iron pot make a scraping sound.
"Pfft."
A crisp laugh broke the silence and eased the awkward atmosphere.
The silent Sister Fan quickly explained:
"There's nothing important to do today. It's inevitable that everyone will be in a relaxed state..."
Lu Shixu hummed, but he didn't seem to care.
Sister Fan wanted to divert her attention and quickly pulled Nanzhi through the kitchen and towards the kiln.
Sure enough, the timing sequence of Lu kept up automatically, which was more accurate than the program set by the robot.
