Chapter 37 Fruits (Part 2)
Song Jiu whispered to him: "Pan Dalang, don't talk nonsense. She is a Qing Gongren, and she is still Yunying. Even though she is a woman, it is not easy to be in that place!"
In other words, Yuping was still a virgin, and no one else touched her, and Song Jiu did not touch her. He told Pan Weide not to think about it. Now Song Jiu finally realized that none of their fathers was simple, but it was not the same thing as they were. He sighed in his heart that in another thirty or forty years, all these older generations will be gone. How many families can remain in these high-ranking families? There will be a few families left, which are not something Song Jiu has the ability to worry about, and now he must rely on their power.
Especially this morning, a kind of fruit was prepared. The fruit is not a fruit, but refers to candied fruit and pastries.
Fu Zhaoshou did not look for him, and he was also planning to invite them to come and taste it another day.
It is better to choose a day than to meet the day. Since you are here, including Yuping, just give it.
Song Jiu asked Zhu San to stand outside the door to inform the students who came one after another for holiday. He took Yuping and Cui'er into the back room to get some ingredients. There were also people, four painters, who were so poor that Song Jiu could make delicious food, so he stayed at the Song family and squeezed into two rooms west of the back room, painting during the day and resting at night.
Song Jiu looked at the ingredients in his hand and had a headache. He prepared ingredients for more than a dozen people, but now he included twenty-eight princes, four painters, and his own Zhu Sanyu and Ping Cui'er, and he had thirty-six people! It was not enough to eat at all.
Do it first.
He deliberately asked Blacksmith Li to make a strange pan and treat it as a simple oven.
Cui'er and Yuping made a mess, and Zhu San brags about Song Jiu's skills outside. More than 20 young masters believed it and doubted it. It was not until the four painters gave evidence that they believed it all.
The fragrance drifted away in a while.
This is the first bread and cake in the true meaning of the Song Dynasty!
To make these two kinds of snacks, there must be one thing, baking powder. In his previous life, a friend of Song Jiu opened a cake shop. The business was very prosperous, mainly because of the good taste. Song Jiu was a foodie and went to seek scriptures. They were all friends with good relationships. He took Song Jiu to visit, not because of the flour, but the same thing, yeast!
Other pastry shops use industrial yeast powder. His friend said that eating too much of that thing is harmful to people, which is probably a bit sensational. But the difference is that yeast, others use industrial yeast, while it is the yeast that is fermented by itself.
First, use apples, or other fruits, pears, strawberries, grapes, kiwis, carrots and milk, there is no problem. Moreover, the yeast made from different ingredients has different tastes. However, the yeast made by apples has the highest success rate and the fastest speed. Cut it into water and add sugar. At this time, there is no white sugar, so you have to boil it with frosting and turn it into sugar water instead, put it in a container, and place it in a high temperature place, it is best to keep it at 28 to 35 degrees. Open the cover after six or seven days.
Smell the smell of the liquid and the aroma of wine is considered a success. If the smell is rotten or white hair grows, it is a failure. Then filter the liquid and add three to four times the juice to cultivate the yeast. After ten hours of cultivation, it can be put into the cold storage as the stock solution. However, if not used for a week, 100% of the fruit sweat must be added to the room temperature environment to make the yeast survive. Precipitation will also occur below. This is inactive yeast and must be refilled and then enter the cold storage for the second time.
At this time, the yeast liquid can be used as a high-end beverage, sour and sweet, with a better taste than champagne, and has a higher nutritional value. You cannot make bread directly, as the bread tastes sour. Before making bread, you have to make yeast seeds. Add flour, salt, and water in different steps. The fermentation time in summer and winter is different. It takes more than ten hours, just like the current temperature can be completed in two hours. Fermentation is good, as long as you feed it regularly, this yeast seed can survive for a year. In the winter of the Song Dynasty, there was no conditions for artificial yeast, but as long as the yeast seed is made in summer, the yeast problem in winter can be solved. You can’t make bread directly, and the bread will still be sour. Then, the middle seed is made, mix the yeast seeds, flour and water, and perform a second fermentation. After the dough expands to two or three times, the middle seeds can be baked.
The procedures are a bit complicated, but the deliciousness is guaranteed. Not only fruit yeast, but also tea yeast and beer yeast can be used as snacks. After his friend introduced him, he said, "Just eat it, don't expect to make it at home."
Unexpectedly, when the visit came to the Song Dynasty, it came to use. When the painter first arrived home, Song Jiu was fermenting this artificial yeast, most of which failed, and only two bottles of yeast were lucky enough to succeed.
No one knew about the process in the middle, and the middle group was prepared last night.
There are also several related things, including milk cool, sugar, honey, chicken and some other ingredients.
Honey has been available for a long time, so the sugar has to be replaced by frosting water. The milk cooler has also been found, which seems greasy and cooler, as if condensed and floating. The bottom of the corn plate is broken, and the snow is gone to the sun. This is ice milk cooler, that is, ice cream. But like frosting, it is very expensive.
Of course, if you want to make high-end bread, cakes, pizza, and sushi, you have to waste countless ingredients to gradually develop and improve. Now Song Jiu is only making a few simple breads.
There were no food additives or fragrances, but under low heat cultivation, the bread gradually roasted, the aroma of milk, sugar and yeast gradually spread into the air. A group of young men hated Song Jiu's strong scent. Song Jiu asked them to come for morning tea, so he got up early in the morning and called his brother to run to the river to eat. Most of them were a little hungry. When they smelled this rich fragrance, they ran to the kitchen door and sniffed it hard.
Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang also arrived.
Song Jiu had thick skin and thick flesh, and slowly he brought two serious and old-fashioned gentlemen. He knew that Song Jiu had to make breakfast in the morning and gradually came early. He did not buy buns on the road, but ran to Song's house to eat. But there was a long way to go, and he had to get up very early to eat a meal of noodles, which was actually very bitter...
Seeing Zhu San asking the students to go back, Dr. Yan said angrily: "Zhu San, why are you doing? Today is another holiday?"
"Dr. Yan, it was Jiulang who asked me to do this," Zhu Sanke did not dare to talk back to Dr. Yan and quickly shirked the responsibility.
Dr. Yan broke in angrily and questioned Song Jiu.
These two people have rigid educational methods, but their sense of responsibility is stronger than Song Jiu.
Song Jiu said while baking bread: "Dr. Yan, many people want me to expand the students these days."
"This is not easy," Dr. Yan said his serious matters, with a serious face, but his nose also wrinkled, and he obviously smelled the aroma of bread.
"It's not easy, but those who have ambition can achieve their goals. How about Taiyi Academy and Bailu Cave Academy?"
"Okay, why mention them?" Dr. Yan looked yearning. Hunan Yuelu Academy and Yingtianfu Juyang Academy had not appeared yet. However, two of the four major academies in the Song Dynasty had emerged. One was the Bailu Cave Academy in Lushan, Southern Tang. The Southern Tang established the National Studies Museum in the place where Li Bo's brothers lived in seclusion in the Tang Dynasty. It was also called the Bailu Cave Academy. Because the Southern Tang Dynasty was more developed than the Song Dynasty literature, it was called the first academic museum in the country. Later Zhou Dynasty was not willing to fall behind, so it was rebuilt on the basis of the palace built by Emperor Gaozong of Tang to visit Songshan, and established Taiyi Academy.
Not far from Shaolin Temple, these two academies are the predecessors of Bailu Cave Academy and Songyang Academy. One in the south and one in the north, it is known as the two top schools in the world. As for the Imperial College, it is a place to play with the princes. How to compare with these two academies? One is flowers, one is cow dung, one is a paradise for literati, and the other is a place full of secular scent. Although the two doctors are so arrogant in front of Song Jiu, when they go to Taiyi Academy to apply for a job, they will not even let an ordinary teacher do it.
Song Jiuda laughed and said, "The bread is out, the academy is out."
Turn the pan open and the bread is baked.
"Don't worry," Although Dr. Yan couldn't help swallowing a few saliva when he saw the bread with good color, fragrance and taste. He still pulled Song Jiu: "What academy is coming out?"
"Do you want to set up an academy in Beijing? Do you want to be a mountain long cave chief or a deputy mountain long cave chief?"
Thinking about it, I can't understand: "Song Jiu, let it be clear."
"After eating the bread, the academy will come out slowly."
"What does it mean?" Dr. Yan was even more anxious. It was not easy to establish a college. Both major academies were renovated based on the original building and spent a lot of money. Not only that, there were great scholars who were willing to teach and had the teaching staff. Secondly, books were very expensive now, and some precious books were not easy to collect, but the academies had to prepare them. Finally, there were maintenance and other expenses, such as teachers' salary, renovation of classroom tables and chairs, pens, inkstones, and pens, inkstones, and a lot of money a year. Not only did they need the help of the state, but some gentry also needed to agree and donate money to maintain this academy. If it were easy, the court would have set up a college in the capital.
"If you want to set up a college, you have to take your time, right?"
"yes."
"It has to be done step by step, right?"
"nonsense!"
"I talk a lot, but I never talk nonsense. The first step is to eat the bread first."
"What are you going to say?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. One day, you will know the meaning of eating bread. Eat it, eat it for the sake of the academy." Song Jiu stuffed a bread into his mouth, and was just hungry. The sweet smell came to his brain with his tongue. Dr. Yan couldn't help but chew it. I found that something was wrong, so he took the bread with his hands and asked again: "Song Jiu, let's make it clear."
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, and it will not work if they say it out. For the sake of the academy, so you have a day off today. Come and eat."
Start eating bread.
First, I savvy and then snatched it. Cui'er said dissatisfiedly: "You are all big men, are you embarrassed to compete with me, a little girl?"
Han Qingchao kindly patted her head and said, "Little girl, grab it quickly, stop arguing, you will not have the share of yours."
Only Yuping took a piece of bread in front of her, carefully brought the porcelain bowl, and poured tea for everyone. Dr. Zhang rarely talked to Song Jiu during this period because of guilt, but at this time he couldn't help but look at Yuping and thought to himself, Song Jiu is lucky, and the first time of this trip is so gentle.
After pouring tea for everyone, Yuping watched everyone grab bread with a smile. She bit her small bite, but Daimei couldn't help but jump. No wonder she grabbed it, it was so delicious. It was sweet and soft, and it seemed to melt in the mouth.
In just a moment, dozens of bread were stolen.
Pan Weide shouted: "No, Xiaojiu, we are not full, we still have to do it."
"Pan Dalang, it's gone. It's not that I don't do it, but that it will be very troublesome to do it. It's necessary to prepare overnight. I'm preparing now, and you can't eat it until the evening."
"Don't lie to me."
"No, swear to the heaven."
Han Qingchao said on the side: "Yi De, don't make things difficult for him, such delicious food is not easy to make."
Xiao Cao whispered: "This is the best fruit I have ever eaten, and I still want to eat it."
Dr. Zhang was like that, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he asked, "What's the point of eating noodles?"
"bread."
