Blessed Dynasty

For Li Xiaofu, the place he is most familiar with about sugarcane is the various soups made from sugarcane.

Whether it is radish sugarcane soup or ribs sugarcane soup, put these foods and sweet sugarcane together, just cook it slightly, and it will be a pot of sweet sweet soup.

Delicious and not greasy, it is perfect to drink as a sweet soup after a meal.

Of course Li Xiaofu would do this, but with such a large sugarcane field in front of him, wouldn't it be too boring to just make sweet soup?

They can't drink sugarcane soup every meal, but if they don't drink it and leave, Li Xiaofu feels that such a large sugarcane field is very wasteful.

So, what else can you make for a sweet treat?

When it comes to sweets, the first thing that comes to mind is a variety of desserts.

It’s just that whether it’s Western-style egg tarts, puffs, mousse cakes, and the sweetest macarons, or Oriental crystal cakes, glutinous rice cakes, almond cakes, and chocolates, they all need to be carefully crafted one after another. Leaving aside the tediousness of cooking, they couldn't get all the cooking utensils they needed here, so Li Xiaofu could only sigh thinking about these desserts.

And if you don't make these desserts, then what other foods need sugar cane, no, it should be said that sugar is made?

Li Xiaofu frowned and thought for a while, then he thought of many sweet dishes, such as sweet and sour pork ribs, squirrel mandarin fish, etc., all of which were extremely delicious.

It's just that these can't be said to be purely sweet dishes, they can only be said to taste sweet and sour, and Li Xiaofu thought about purely sweet dishes for a long time, and only thought of one very delicious sweet dish, that is shredded silk!

Speaking of sweet dishes, how can there be less shredded dishes?

Whether it's candied sweet potatoes or candied potatoes, whether it's candied taro or candied apples, they are all delicious for people with a sweet tooth, especially if they haven't eaten sweets for a long, long time.

The sweet taste, the taste that makes people happy after one bite, makes the mouth water just thinking about it.

At this time, Li Xiaofu was still thinking about dessert dishes, while on the other side, he basically didn't know anything about cooking. Only You Daozi, who was good at barbecue, was still thinking about how to eat raw sugar cane.

Although it is not good for the teeth, but I haven't eaten sweets for a long time, so a little indulgence should be fine.

Well, not much, he just gnawed one, no, no, three sugar canes would be enough, he is a very restrained master!You must not set a bad example for Xiaofu, you should not eat too much of this kind of sweet food, it will damage your teeth.

Especially Xiaofu is still young.

So when Li Xiaofu not only peeled the sugar cane, but also brought a bunch of strange things over, You Daozi felt very strange.

"This is?"

What is this for?

Does Xiaofu have any new ideas?

Li Xiaofu raised his head and looked at his master with a smile, "Make candy!"

Yes, if you want to make sweet dishes, how can you not make sugar first?

You know, to make shredded silk, you need to make syrup first, and it doesn’t work without sugar.

You Daozi widened his eyes in surprise, "Can you still make candy?"

Although as a senior sweet tooth lover, You Daozi likes sweets very much, but his liking is limited to eating. As for how to make candy, he really doesn't know much about it.

"Of course, if you don't make sugar, how can you make sweet dishes!"

You Daozi blinked and swallowed the words he originally planned to eat raw. If there is sweet sugar for cooking, he would not eat raw sugar cane. Although sugar cane is also delicious, but for so long, as a need The master whose apprentice cooks to support, You Daozi already fully knows how good his little apprentice's craftsmanship is, so he doesn't eat any delicious dishes, but eats sugar cane, and even eats three. How hard is he to think about it?

You Daozi decided that he had the most, at most he would eat a section as if it were fruit, and if there were too many, he would have to save his stomach for the dishes made by his little apprentice!

So when Li Xiaofu was about to make candy, You Daozi looked at it intently with bright eyes, helping out where he could, such as squeezing the juice out of the sugarcane.

Although the skill of the little apprentice is not bad, but where is You Daozi so good?

Looking at the bagasse that was almost squeezed out, Li Xiaofu hugged his master, feeling extremely happy.

My master is indeed the best!

The little apprentice's adoring eyes pleased You Daozi very well, so he worked even harder next time, if Li Xiaofu didn't see things going badly and hurriedly dissuaded his master, You Daozi might have killed the entire sugarcane field. They are all poisoned.

But even so, the sugarcane field has lost a large area. Compared with the previous luxuriance, it is not 01:30.

And You Daozi looked at the big pile of sugarcane juice he had made, and he was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would make so much when he didn't stop for a while.

Li Xiaofu smiled wryly as he processed the sugarcane juice. Since Master had already squeezed all the sugarcane juice, wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't use it all?

So throughout the whole day, Li Xiaofu was in a hurry, and for lunch and dinner, he cooked some noodles in a hurry, roasted some game and then fooled it.

Of course You Daozi is not dissatisfied with this, he is still very guilty, of course he is fine at this age, but the little apprentice is still growing up, so what if he doesn't eat well?

The reason why the little apprentice couldn't eat well was because he made too much sugar cane.

So You Daozi is very guilty.

Li Xiaofu is very familiar with his master, and he can tell what his master is thinking just by looking at his expression, he tugged at his master's white beard with a smile, "It's okay, make more sugar, we can not only eat here, but also bring Wouldn't it be better on the road?"

"Think about eating candy whenever you want on the road, whenever you want, it's sweet and sweet at any time, just like eating spicy food, how great it is!"

You Daozi blinked, seeing that the little apprentice really thought so, and he didn't feel any reluctance before he eased up, and then helped the little apprentice make candy with great interest.

The most difficult process of sugar is not other things, but there are some limitations in filtration and decolorization. Now Dajin uses caramel more when making sweets. However, caramel is fermented from grain, not only has a lot of starch, but also the yield is a problem. After all, food is still very precious, that is, in recent years, people will have the energy to make caramel to satisfy the appetite outside the stomach.

As for the sweetness of the caramel is not pure enough, and the color is cloudy and yellow, these are some minor problems.

But compared to these, sucrose is different. Even if the problems of filtration and decolorization are thrown away, sucrose is a well-deserved overlord among sugars.

So when watching the little apprentice go through the process one by one, it took several days to finally turn a lot of sugarcane juice into crystal clear grains, You Daozi couldn't help hesitating.

"Is this sugar?"

Sugar, isn't it supposed to be syrup like caramel and stone honey, or become sugar cubes after solidification?

Such crystal grains, like snow grains, could they be sugar?

If he hadn't seen the little apprentice turning sugarcane juice into these things with his own eyes, You Daozi would not have believed it.

"It's just sugar, why don't you try it? Is it delicious?"

Li Xiaofu dug a small spoonful of the prepared sugar in the jar and handed it to the master, You Daozi hesitated a little, and opened his mouth.

However, just as the grains of sugar entered his mouth, You Daozi's eyes widened in surprise.

Sweet!

Not only is it sweet, it doesn't have the slightly astringent taste of caramel, and it's not as calm as stone honey, but a strong, almost unexpected sweetness that melts on the tip of the tongue in an instant, so that before You Daozi can react, the mouth is full of sweetness. Already full of sweet taste.

"Sweeter than honey..."

Seeing Master's reaction, Li Xiaofu laughed, and dug a spoonful for himself. When the taste of sugar melted into his taste buds, Li Xiaofu's face was already full of happiness.

Desserts, it sure tastes blissful!

The master and the apprentice dug a few spoonfuls each and were intoxicated for a while before they came back to their senses, and with the sugar, Li Xiaofu could do silk-drawing!

There are no sweet potatoes and potatoes around, let alone apples, only taro and yam to find some, Li Xiaofu looked at the taro and yam with a smile, and decided to make these two kinds!

As a novice cook who has no creativity and can only cook a little bit of cooking, Master You Daozi is in charge of handling the ingredients, while Li Xiaofu is boiling the syrup. After the taro and yam are oiled, they can be rolled with sweet sugar coating and eaten Drawing!

At the beginning, You Daozi didn't know what the little apprentice was talking about. In his opinion, he probably wanted to cut these into shreds and eat them by pulling them out?

But the little apprentice asked him to cut into pieces again, which made You Daozi very confused.

But when the little apprentice took out the sugar-coated yam and taro pieces from the pot, and pulled out long strands, You Daozi finally knew why this dish was called shredded.

It really lives up to its name!

In addition to shredded, since there was sugar, Li Xiaofu found plums from around to make some sour plum juice, and made sweet and sour fish with sugar.

Two sweet dishes, paired with a savory pickle that was made before, the master and apprentice are officially ready for dinner!

Crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside, with a sweet taste and a soft and waxy inside, it makes people feel hot and reluctant to let go after taking a bite. It is a good news for sweet tooth lovers.

The sweet and sour fish is more appetizing. The sweet and sour sauce is mixed with the soft and tender fish meat. There is no fishy smell, but it is very delicious. When the sweet and sour soup bursts on the tip of the tongue, the mouth is full of happiness. You Daozi couldn't put it down because of the delicious taste, and he couldn't stop eating.

The two sweet dishes naturally need to be neutralized by saltiness. What is more suitable than the refreshing shredded mushrooms made before?

Cool and firm, with the sesame oil squeezed from wild sesame, fine salt, seasoning spices found along the way, and chili, it is perfect as a side dish to neutralize the sweetness.

So on this day, You Daozi and Li Xiaofu tasted the feeling of being full after a long absence, and lay on the grass together to support their stomachs and watch the stars.

Looking at it, Li Xiaofu couldn't help thinking of Zhao Xiaoxin.

I really miss the days when someone rubbed his belly when he was lying in bed!

It's just that now that he is so big, he is too embarrassed to ask the master to rub it for him, so he has to rub it by himself.

Sigh, I wonder what Zhao Xiaoxin is doing now?

He's a little homesick_(:з」∠)_...
