The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 165 Smoke the Ice Monkey (Subscribe)
The hawthorns in the Northeast are relatively large, especially the hawthorns used to make candied haws. The larger hawthorns are selected, and the more sour the better.

Use a bamboo stick to thread the washed hawthorns into a string. For the big hawthorns, Li Yuan basically only put five or six of them, and it was already full.

Li Yuan: "It's not difficult to make candied haws. The main thing is to make sugar coating. As long as the sugar coating is done well, the taste of candied haws will be authentic."

Li Yuan put the sugar into the pot, then filled some water along the side of the pot, and gently stirred the sugar in the pot with a spoon.

Li Yuan: "Be careful not to add too much water, otherwise the cooking time will be too long, and the sugar coating will not only look bad, but also bitter."

About a cup of water is enough to cover the white sugar. As the temperature in the pot slowly rises, the color of the white sugar that is cooking in the pot has slowly turned into a deep golden yellow, and big bubbles are starting to appear one by one. .

Li Yuan looked at the boiled sugar in the pot, and then quickly wrapped the candied haws one by one into the pot.

And the sugar-coated candied haws were thrown on the cutting board vigorously.

A layer of cold water had already been evenly applied on the big chopping board, just to set the shape. After about a minute or two, I saw that the candied haws that Li Yuan had made had really solidified.

Li Yuan's process of making candied haws was extremely fast, and in just over half an hour, he had already made more than [-] strings of candied haws.

Picking up a prepared candied haws, I saw that the side of the candied haws that fell on the sticky board had completely solidified together after condensation.

With a light lift, the whole candied haws has been picked up.

The crystal icing, inside is the red hawthorn, which looks extremely attractive.Just looking at it, Li Yuan felt that his appetite had been whetted.

"Look, everyone, the candied haws are ready if they are made like this. If you like the sesame seeds, you can also sprinkle a thin layer of white sesame seeds on it. It tastes good too."

Holding the candied haws in his hand, Li Yuan finally couldn't help but took a bite.

The crisp sound of Tan Yi cracking came, Li Yuan bit off half of the hawthorn, and chewed it whole in his mouth.Sweet and sour, with a hint of cold breath, I just feel that the whole person is refreshed by the sour taste.

Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded.

Tasting the familiar taste, I feel as if I have returned to the time when I was scrambling to eat candied haws when I was a child.

Studio.

"This candied haws looks so tempting!"

"The hawthorn is too big! You can only bite off half of it in one bite?"

"No, the hawthorn and candied haws here are very small."

"Watching the anchor eat candied haws, I feel like my saliva is dripping out..."

"Isn't the anchor sour?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Hawthorn, hawthorn, if it is not sour, it is not called hawthorn, but it is not so sour when it is mixed with sugar coating. Instead, it feels very appetizing after eating."

"It's not difficult to make hawthorn candied haws. You can try making some for your children at home."

"Shanzhi has many medicinal effects. It can eliminate food accumulation, disperse blood stasis, expel tapeworms, stop dysentery, especially aid digestion. It has been an important medicine for digestion accumulation since ancient times, especially good at eliminating meat accumulation."

"Li Shizhen, a medical scientist, once said: 'When the hard meat of an old chicken is boiled, a few seeds of the mountain plant will easily rot, and then its power of disappearing and accumulating can be overturned.' The mountain plant can also lower blood fat and serum cholesterol. Wait for the effect. It is also good for the elderly to take some for a long time."

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he wrapped the hawthorn in the kraft paper he bought earlier.

There are many children in the village, Li Yuan plans to distribute the prepared hawthorns to the children in the village, and by the way, give some of these hawthorns to the old grandma.

Li Yuan went out for a lap, and when he came back, it was already an hour later.

Although this candied haws is not a rare item, few people in the village come to buy candied haws nowadays, and it is quite happy to eat them occasionally.

After sending out all the prepared candied haws, Li Yuan was ready to go home.

And just as Li Yuan was walking towards his home, he suddenly heard a deafening sound.

Hearing this voice, Li Yuan couldn't help but change his expression. It seems to be... the sound of smoking an ice monkey? !

"What's that sound?"

"This sound is so loud, it sounds like... a bit like the movement of a whip."

"What movement, why didn't I hear it?"

"It really sounds like the sound of a whip!"

"No, why are you whipping?"

In the live broadcast room, many people heard this strange sound.

Seeing this, Li Yuan said with a smile, "Since everyone is so curious, I'll take you to see where this movement came from."

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he walked towards the river.

As soon as Li Yuan came to the river, he saw several little boys standing on the ice.

A few children held the whip in their hands, stood on the ice with their hearts in their hands, and kept whipping it towards the ground. As Li Yao got closer and closer, he saw that every time the whip fell, it seemed to hit the ice. On top of a small spinning top on the surface.

The colors of the spinning tops are different, and they spin rapidly as the whip falls, and the colored spinning tops spin on the ice, which is really beautiful!

Studio.

"What are the anchors and the others doing?"

"What is it spinning on the ground? It's so beautiful!"

"It seems to be a spinning top, but why is the spinning top spinning on the ice?"

"It's so interesting to look at. What kind of toy is this? I want to buy a toy for my bag too!"

Standing by the river, Li Yuan looked at those children laughing and playing, and couldn't help but think of how he would often come to smoke ice monkeys with his friends when he was the same age as these children.

The price of ice monkeys is not expensive. At that time, you could buy one for two yuan at a small stall.

After returning home, paste colored paper on the ice monkey to make it look better when it turns on the ice.

However, the ice monkeys that Li Yuan played with when he was a child were basically made by his father. Although they looked a little ugly, it didn't affect the playing with them in the slightest.

It was a small piece of wood, and my father could quickly chop it up with a kitchen knife.

Put the wooden block upright on the cutting board, press the top of the wooden block with the other hand, then lift the kitchen knife slightly, and cut the bottom of the wooden block a little bit, quickly turn the wooden block to cut it into a semicircle shape.

And because the speed of the kitchen knife is not fast, there are always deep and shallow marks under the wooden block.

However, this kind of ice monkey is not finished yet. He turned the wooden block over and cut off the corners of the four edges. At the place where the top of the wooden block is one finger width down, while pressing down hard, use the other hand to grasp the wooden block, and then turn the wooden block in a circle.
