Doomsday Farm System

Chapter 103 Making Sugar

I didn't go to the fruit forest for most of the winter, and the ice and snow on the road were too hard to walk.Su Shu thought that he should go and have a look, so a group of people went there with Frost Bamboo and one ball and two balls.

The two dogs are naturally leading the way, and the Ice Bamboo is to soften the ice and snow on the road.The rest of the dogs stayed on the small farm, under the care of the ginseng spirit.Anyway, with just a few hours of effort, the ginseng essence can still control it.

With the dogs around, the journey was indeed much easier.When we got to the fruit forest, the snow and ice around us were much larger than those near the small farm, covered in snow, and even the oranges that were originally bright yellow turned into white fruits.

The fruit trees were all in a deep sleep state, and the puppet tree in charge of guarding the outermost area sensed the breath of foreign objects. Just as the branches moved a few times, before building defenses, they felt that the special human was there, and fell asleep again in peace of mind.

It was the first time for Gong Liangbai and the dogs to come here. The former was led by Qiao Yulin to introduce the situation and stick Spring Festival couplets on the trees.There are also small red lanterns.The two dogs were about to have fun, but Su Shu stopped them.Only let the dogs follow him, and they can't jump around here at will.

The dogs are so big, how can these trees stand up to jumping up and down, if the fruit next year is less, it will be strange if he doesn't beat the dogs.

Su Shu went to see the apple tree and Xiaocang. The mouse in this tree was sleeping deeply, and the hamster that didn't hibernate also learned to hibernate along with the apple tree.

Su Shu didn't bother them, and quietly pasted a blessing on the trunk of the apple tree, and the group returned to the small farm.

Red couplets are pasted everywhere in the small farm, and lanterns are hung everywhere, and the atmosphere of the New Year is instantly strong.

"Brother Shu, what are you going to have for the New Year's Eve dinner?" Qiao Yulin was very interested in all the activities of the New Year.

"Let me cook the New Year's Eve dinner." Su Shu thought for a while and said.

Qiao Yulin was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Then I'll help Brother Shu!"

Gong Liangbai felt a little sorry, he thought how could he just wait for his husband to cook and eat.But his own craftsmanship is not good, and he certainly can't do such an important thing as the New Year's Eve dinner.

Seeing that Su Shu didn't mind these things, Gong Liangbai was completely at ease.

There are still about two weeks before the real New Year's Eve. It's still early to think about making New Year's Eve dinner, but there is one thing that can be prepared in advance.

Su Shu asked Queen Ant to buy a lot of caramel, and he planned to make some unique candies for the next year.

Su Shu's favorite food is actually the nougat type, especially the one with peanuts and sesame seeds added.It has the aroma of milk, the nutty and crunchy taste of peanuts and sesame seeds, and it is not as sweet as ordinary sugar. It's just that if you want to make nougat now, there are a lot of ingredients that are lacking. To be precise, there is nothing.Whether it's milk, peanuts, sesame seeds, butter, etc., I can't find them all.

Oh, there is a little bit of sesame. There is a small bottle in the kitchen, which has been systematically divided into seasonings.

But obviously this small bottle of sesame is not enough.

Considering the materials he had in hand, Su Shu planned to make a batch of orange peel candy first.

The method of orange peel candy is very simple. Before the arrival of winter, the small farms also picked all the oranges. Now they are eaten intermittently, and there are still many oranges left in the granary.Just right for sugar.

At the very beginning, Su Shu did not do the orange peeling step alone. He called Qiao Yulin and Gong Liangbai to help.The orange peels were carefully washed, then cut into shreds, and a large pile was accumulated and set aside for later use.

After that, put the pot on the fire, put sugar and water in the pot to melt on low heat.Originally, it was best to use white sugar for this step, but Su Shu naturally didn't have that much white sugar on hand. Anyway, caramel can also be used. Even if it turns a little yellow, it won't affect it at all when mixed with the yellow color of the orange peel.

After the caramel in the pot melts and blends well with the water, you can put the orange peel in it.

Although the kitchen in the small farm is well-equipped, the capacity of the pot is a moderate version for home use, not the kind of big pot in restaurants. Su Shu and the others prepared a lot of orange peels this time. Put it in the pot.

After the orange peel was put into the pot, Su Shu kept stirring slowly. As the sugar water in the pot boiled more and more dry, he could basically pour out the pot and put it on a plate.

If you like it sweeter, you can sprinkle some more sugar at this step.But Su Shu picked up a piece of shredded orange and tasted it, and felt that the sweetness was just right, so he didn't add sugar to it anymore.Just spread out the shredded oranges on a plate and put them in the oven to dry.

If it's summer, you don't have to use an oven. It's also a good choice to dry these orange shreds in the sun.It’s just that if you really want to take it out in this winter, let alone dry it, I’m afraid it will turn into a frozen orange in minutes.

After drying, what comes out is orange peel candy that can be bottled.Su Shu will continue to make the remaining orange peel candies, and leave the bottling to Qiao Yulin and Gong Liangbai.

The aroma of orange peel spreads in the small farm.Whether it's humans or animals, they are all watching eagerly, and the idea of ​​wanting to have a taste is obvious.

"Eat what you want." Su Shu waved his hand, "Sansan and the dogs eat less, I don't know if you eat too much of this kind of food."

The animals didn't particularly want to eat, they were just curious about anything from Su Shu's hands.Such a big dog was fed with a few small pieces of orange peel candy with its mouth wide open. The sweet and sour taste exploded in the mouth instantly, making them tremble twice.

"Woo~" It's too sour, too sour.The dogs couldn't bear the sour taste of the orange peel, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking another big bite.

On the contrary, Qiao Yulin and Gong Liangbai thought the sweet and sour taste was particularly delicious, and one couldn't help it, and ate half of the bottle in one go.

Su Shu didn't care, anyway, he made it for people to eat.

After the orange peel candy was finished, Su Shu looked at the oven and thought that he could make some more dried sweet potatoes. These things would be even better, and it wasn't even too much trouble except that he had to use the oven all the time.

The peeled oranges couldn't be eaten for a while, Su Shu looked at the caramel left in his hand, and decided not to waste it, and made an orange version of candied haws together.Su Shu didn't mind whether the candied haws made of oranges were not candied haws.

Not all the candied haws he saw before crossing were made of hawthorn.What kind of small tomato candied haws, strawberry candied haws, red dates candied haws, green dates candied haws, all of them are available.So what if he made an orange candied haws?

Su Shu has never made candied haws seriously, but he has eaten candied haws.And I have seen other people make candied haws in the video, it looks very simple anyway.

Without rock sugar, Su Shu didn't know what the candied gourds made from maltose looked like, but they were all sugar, so there shouldn't be much difference after all.

So, after making the orange peel candy, add water and sugar to the pot and boil it slowly. After the water and sugar are almost fused, you can put the oranges down and roll them for two laps.

When Su Shu said he was going to make candied haws with oranges, Qiao Yulin and Gong Liangbai had already started to help him peel bamboo sticks.With the presence of the Ice Bamboos, things like bamboo sticks can be made very quickly, without even requiring two humans to do anything, the Ice Bamboos have already done everything perfectly, including cutting the bamboo sticks and smoothing them .

It was Qiao Yulin and Gong Liangbai's turn to collect the bamboo sticks and stack them up.

Oh, and the two were also assigned the task of stringing oranges together.

These oranges are all big and big. If you really want to string them together, you will get a huge version of candied haws.So Qiao Yulin and Gong Liangbai directly skewered them petal by petal, which was the right size, but not as round as the traditional candied haws.

"There's no other way, that's the only way to go." Su Shu looked at the crescent-shaped candied haws, and didn't bother to think too much about it.

Put a bunch of oranges into the melted caramel, and mine was full of sugar shells. I picked it up and shook off the excess sugar. As soon as I took it out of the room, it was almost frozen into a hard shell by the sudden drop in temperature.Not to mention, although it is not round, this kind of crescent moon looks pretty good.

In addition to the petals of crescent-shaped candied haws, Su Shu also directly used a whole orange to pass through several candied haws.It's just that there is only one whole orange on a bamboo stick, which looks like a large lollipop.

This is the inspiration Su Shu got from those candied apples before he traveled.

Thinking of apple candied haws, Su Shu also remembered that there were unfinished apples in his small farm.

So, in addition to orange candied haws, he made some apple candied haws.

The prepared candied haws are all placed outside the wooden house, one by one inserted into the snow, as if the candied haws grew from the ground.Su Shu was inexplicably funny.

There is no way, these candied gourds can't be placed directly on the table, the outer sugar shell is easy to stick to things, and Su Shu didn't prepare so many sugar papers to wrap such a layer, so they can only be inserted in the ground like this first.

In order to better gather these candied haws, Su Shu began to make straw handles for inserting candied haws.

Things like straw handles are also very simple, just tie some straw at one end of a strong wooden stick, and tie it tightly.Whether it is sticks or straw, there is no shortage on the small farm.

After Su Shu made the first handle, Qiao Yulin and Gong Liangbai also learned such a simple operation, and they also started to make handles.The speed of the two of them was much faster than Su Shu's, and the straw they made was tight and stable. After realizing this, Su Shu simply stopped and handed them over to do it.

Ten straw handles were tied in a row, and all the candied haws that were made had room to fit them.

"Eat one?" Su Shu took out a candied haws with orange petals and gestured to the two of them.

Qiao Yulin and Gong Liangbai were not polite either, each of them picked something they thought looked good and fed it to their mouths.

Su Shu also took a bunch and ate it.

The crispy sugar skin shell makes a crackling sound when bitten down. The taste of sugar after being diluted with water is not particularly strong, and it doesn't feel sweet at all.Immediately afterwards, the soft taste of the oranges in the sugar burst out a mouthful of juice, which neutralized the sweetness of the shell sugar skin with a slight sourness, and brought some fruity aroma of oranges, which was rare and delicious.

Su Shu became more and more satisfied with his craftsmanship.

Why didn't he know that he still had the talent to make candied haws?Such delicious candied haws can be sold.

Of course, Su Shu didn't make these candied haws for sale. Now that he knows it's delicious, he won't change his mind.

The author has something to say: Correct the typo.
