Chapter 14 Dried Bamboo and Pumpkin Cake

After a night passed, the fish belly turned white again in the east.

Li Luotang let Sai Xishi bathe in the morning light and set horse stances in the yard. "If you want to have good kung fu, you must be able to stance steadily. On the first day of today, you can stitch in incense."

"When my father taught me how to fist and foot, I asked me to stance." Sai Xishi immediately told me.

"That's the case, then you can slap for a quarter of an hour." Li Luotang said with a smile.

"Okay." Sai Xishi put the hourglass of the timing and began to stance.

Li Luotang took a few stones and placed them on the low courtyard wall. He shook the long whip and threw them out, hitting one piece with a "pop", and then throwing it again, knocking off one piece with a "pop".

What Yi Jing saw from the room was one who was staging horses and the other practicing whips, and did not disturb them. After washing up, he went out to buy breakfast. Seeing that this was the case, Xi Shi had no time to make breakfast.

After the two of them finished their work, they took their own showers, and changed into clean clothes, Yi Jing came back with breakfast, "I bought fresh meat wontons, come and eat them quickly. If the soup is soaked for too long, it will not be so delicious if it is battered."

Sai Xishi took three bowls and three spoons and divided the large bowl of wontons into three small bowls. Of course, the portions that were distributed to Yi Jing were the most.

After the three of them finished eating wontons, Yi Jing went out to do business again. Sai Xishi and Li Luotang did not go out, so they bought enough vegetables yesterday. Besides, they still had to deal with the bamboo shoots.

"Sister Li, can we make some light bamboo shoots and some salty bamboo shoots? "Sai Xishi asked.

"Do whatever you want." Li Luotang had no objection to how to deal with bamboo shoots, she was only responsible for eating them.

Sai Xi used a knife to peel off the shells on the outer layer of the bamboo shoots, remove the bamboo shoots sections, and then wash them with washing water. When draining, she took the big pumpkin and peeled it.

Li Luotang asked in surprise: "If you need to use pumpkin when drying dried bamboo shoots?" There is no such record in "Miscellaneous Notes on Food and Meals".

Sai Xishi smiled, "I plan to make pumpkin cake, don't Sister Li want to try it?"

"I want to." Li Luotang smiled.

Sai Xishi peeled off the skin of the pumpkin, cut it into pieces, put it in a large bowl, and then put it in a steamer. At this time, the bamboo shoots were drained, and she cut the bamboo shoots into slices, divided the bamboo shoots into two parts, one in a clean water pot and the other in a salt water pot.

Cook the bamboo shoots and put them in the basket, then pressed them on them with heavy objects. Sai Xishi saw Li Luotang holding a pen and writing something in the booklet, saying, "This is to press the moisture in the bamboo shoots so that they can dry them faster when drying."

Li Luotang nodded and said he knew.

The pumpkin was also steamed, and steam was steaming out of the steamer. Sai Xishi took the bowl of the pumpkin with a cloth wrapped around it, but she still felt it was hot. "It's so hot." Sai Xishi pinched the earlobes with both hands.

"When you learn the Ice Palm, you won't be afraid of being hot." Li Luotang smiled, "By the way, what weapon do you want to use?"

"Weapon?" Sai Xishi looked at the beating in his hand, then looked at the kitchen knife placed on the chopping board, "Can you use a kitchen knife?"

"Yes, kitchen knives are also swords." Li Luotang had never learned the sword technique, and he did not have the ready-made sword technique on hand, but...

It shouldn't be too difficult for Li Luotang to touch his chin and get a suitable swordsmanship for Sai Xishi to practice.

Sai Xishi mashed the pumpkin into a paste. After tasting it, it was very sweet. There was no need to add sugar to the pumpkin paste. Put an appropriate amount of flour and baking powder in it, stir it evenly, knead it into a dough, and put it in a bowl. "Sister Li, please help me put this stone on it."

Li Luotang reached out and she lifted the heavy stone and placed it on a bamboo basket with a stone pressed on it. After putting it on, the bamboo shoots that were no longer dripping began to drip again.

Saixishi has nothing to do. When the dough is ready, put it on the panel and knead the bubbles in the dough, flatten it, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangular sheet, touch it with oil, and stack the two sides into three layers in the middle.

"You are making a pumpkin thousand-layer cake, right?" Li Luotang asked.

"Yes." Sai Xishi rolled the dough out again and brushed the oil, then layered the oil, sprinkled with a layer of flour, and after repeated three times, put the dough into the steamer.

While waiting for the noodles, Sai Xishi asked Li Luotang to help carry the dried bamboo shoots pressed into the yard, take out the dried bamboo shoots and spread them on clean bamboo strips.

"This is placed in the yard, so I can't pass by. Put it on the roof to dry it." Li Luotang said, holding the bamboo strips, gently tapped the toes, flew up, jumped onto the roof, put the bamboo strips, jumped down, and put another piece of salted bamboo shoots on it.

After drying the bamboo shoots, the two returned to the kitchen. Sai Xishi continued to make pumpkin and layer pastry, put the steamer containing the dough in a pot filled with cold water, covered it with wooden cover, stuffed firewood into the stove, and burned the fire.

Li Luotang didn't know how Sai Xishi made the timing. After steaming for a long time, she said it was done, but she did not lift the lid immediately, but simmered for a while before it was released from the pot.

The yellow pumpkin thousand-layer cake was brought to Li Luotang in front of him in a heat. Sai Xishi smiled and said, "Sister Li, try it."

Li Luotang picked up a piece and blew it. She could practice her skills to make her hands not afraid of heat, but she couldn't make her mouth not afraid of heat.

Pumpkin Thousand Layers Cake is soft and sweet, with clear layers. Li Luotang ate it in his mouth and thought about other things, "Shi Shi, what other pasta will you make?"

"I can make lotus leaf cakes, scallion oil cakes, pumpkin steamed buns, gold silk rolls, silver silk rolls, and small wontons bought by Uncle Jing this morning. I also can make them. When I was five years old, I learned cooking skills with my father. My father said that people must have a skill to support themselves." Sai Xishi said with a smile.

"Have you ever thought of opening a small shop based on cooking skills?" Li Luotang asked.

"I want to open a small restaurant, but my father said that although I have a good talent in cooking, I am not enough and I still have to learn it." This is the most important reason why Sai Xishi is willing to go out with me.

Sai Xishi also concealed one of her abilities, and she could basically cook any dishes she had eaten, and the taste was 70% or 80%.

"Let's go out to find a famous chef." Li Luotang's tone seemed to be full of famous chefs waiting for her to pick them up.

"But lunch is about to be had." Sai Xishi said.

"Brother Yi is not back, let's go out to have a meal." Li Luotang looked at her with a angrily, "You have been tired all morning, aren't you working hard?"

Sai Xishi smiled silly, and she didn't feel it was hard to do things in the kitchen.

After leaving the inn, they stopped going to the market this time, they went to the long street where shops gathered; the weather was sunny, the people were in great contact, and vendors were selling along the street, which was a peaceful and lively scene.

After entering the shop entrance, not far away, I saw a long queue in front of a store, "What are you selling?" Li Luotang pulled Sai Xishi over.

When I walked in, I saw the store name, three big words: Miaochen Restaurant.

By looking at the name of this store, you will know that it is a place for food. There are so many people queuing up, and it can be seen that the dishes cooked by the chefs here must be delicious.

"Shi Shi, let's have lunch here." Li Luotang smiled. Although the team is quite long, Li Luotang's patience is still very good for the sake of delicious food.
