Chen Song didn't know what the Bu Laoquan is, but Song Feiquan knew that she said that this was a very famous candied haws brand in the old capital era. The hawthorn used was all high-quality Venus hawthorn, which was specialized in Qilu, and it looked good and delicious.
"Do you know Ji Xiaolan?" Song Feiquan asked when introducing the old spring.
Chen Song smiled and said, "Is there another allusion? These historical celebrities are busy enough."
Song Feiquan said: "Do you think I made up? What I want to say is true. Ji Xiaolan really likes the hawthorn of Bu Laoquan. It wrote a poem called "The Book of Life and Death Never the Spring of Bu Laoquan". He also ridiculed himself as if he could not keep up with the exquisite candy haws of Bu Laoquan."
"Ji Xiaolan is a foodie. Did he pass on the food order in Suiyuan?" Luo Bupang asked.
Chen Song didn't know, but Luo Bupang said confidently: "Yes, it was passed down by Ji Xiaolan."
Then Chen Song went to check and found that she was fooling herself. The Suiyuan Food List was passed down from a talented man in the Qing Dynasty, but it was not Ji Xiaolan, but Yuan Mei.
Syrup is necessary to make candied haws. Syrup is usually made of sucrose and granulated sugar, but it can also be mixed with honey.
?There are excellent honey in the manor, so it can be used as syrup.
However, the syrup made from honey tastes different from traditional syrup. After learning about their needs, Mr. Bruce drove to the supermarket and bought a can of maple syrup on the spot.
Iceland has sugar maple trees, which are a tree that can adapt to cold temperatures, and can be eaten, viewed and practical. It was once one of the earliest important economic crops introduced in Iceland.
However, due to survival rates, Iceland has fewer sugar maples and naturally produces less maple syrup.
Seeing maple syrup and honey, Wang Xiaohui was confused for a moment: "Ah? Do you use this? It is best to use sugar and rock sugar to burn. Candied haws without rock sugar have no soul, because it is called candied haws?"
Chen Song said: "Adapt to the situation, Lao Tie."
Wang Xiaohui asked again: "Then do you have any ingredients here? For example, walnuts, jujubes, blueberries, strawberries, etc. Forget it, let's make classic style candied haws."
He probably didn't have these sporadic things at Chen Song's house. Of course, who can prepare so many small things in winter without any trouble?
But Chen Song said, "Wait, what are mountain dates? There are no such things as this. I have all other walnuts, blueberries, strawberries, and melon seeds, but I can't use candied haws."
"We have so many melon seeds here." Luo Bingxin grinned.
Wang Xiaohui's face was happy: "Who said it's not useful? It's good to use it. By the way, are there black beans and red beans? It will taste better if you make some bean paste and put them in candied haws."
"This must be." Chen Songde thanked Zhu Kaibo, who gave him a lot of miscellaneous grains.
Luo Bupang and Mrs. Emma went to make bean paste, and Wang Xiaohui took people to clean up the hawthorn.
The most common candied haws are just skewed with bamboo sticks and rolled into a layer of syrup. If you are slightly more upscale, you have to remove the hawthorn core.
Chen Song said that I must have eaten hawthorn without cores at the beginning, so they began to attack hawthorn.
This is also easy to deal with. Use a knife to cut off the hawthorn's waist and pick out the nucleus.
But Wang Xiaohui taught them a better way, and use a knife to circle the hawthorn. When the depth reaches the blade, you can feel the hard hawthorn core. Then, you can squeeze the upper and lower parts of the hawthorn with both hands. Finally, the entire hawthorn core is squeezed out, simple and beautiful.
"But it's okay to cut it open, but don't cut it in the waist, as it's not easy to deal with. After cutting it open, pick out the nucleus, leaving the flesh on the other side together, and then put a blueberry or a piece of strawberry inside, so that it can make it taste richer." Wang Xiaohui said carefully.
Chen Song slapped the table: "Just do that."
Brother Bai saw them packing up the hawthorn and sat down slowly. Brother Dao was very eye-catching. He wanted to drag Brother Bai away, but Brother Bai slapped it under his crotch and easily handled it.
Chen Song pulled out Brother Dao like pulling radish. He took a hawthorn and said to Brother Bai in displeasure: "Did you forget it? This is not delicious, not delicious at all."
Brother Bai stared at him suspiciously, saying that this guy would not remember to beat him or eat him.
Chen Song was taken, and he took a handful of hawthorn and stuffed it into Brother Bai's mouth.
There is no doubt that hawthorn is not in the polar bear recipe. Brother Bai chewed it for two bites and left with a grin, shaking his head as he walked.
"So cute." Du Yihan said excitedly.
"You can raise one, mom," said Wang Xiaohui.
Chen Song asked in surprise: "You are true love. Aren't you very afraid of such beasts?"
Wang Xiaohui secretly said: "If she can't raise her, how can a private domestic person raise a polar bear? It's just to express my love for her."
"You guys, monkey spirit." Chen Song admired.
Sure enough, Du Yihan said coquettishly: "Husband, you are so nice to me."
Wang Xiaohui gave Chen Song a proud look, then smiled gracefully and said, "This is what my husband should do. If you really raise it, leave it to me for shoveling and feeding. Who told me to be your husband?"
Du Yihan said enthusiastically: "It's okay to raise bears. We have only one foodie in our family, and that's me. But it's okay to raise a dog. I decided to go back and raise a dog."
"No, no, I have dog-phobia." Wang Xiaohui was immediately panicked.
Du Yihan was unhappy and said, "But you just said that raising bears is OK, why can't you raise a dog now?"
Wang Xiaohui said with difficulty: "Maybe I suddenly don't want to be your husband."
"Get out, I'll have to divorce me if I keep a dog?"
Wang Xiaohui said desperately: "I don't want to, but if you want me to die, you will force me to death if you raise a dog."
Du Yihan pouted and said, "I hate it, you are actually afraid of dogs."
Chen Song greeted, "Come on candied haws, bean paste is almost made."
"It's not that fast." Du Yihan was suspicious.
Wang Xiaohui doesn't want to worry about raising dogs and love. He said: "There are many kinds of candied haws we can make today, there are many Icelandic chocolates and cheeses, right? We can make candied haws into sandwich, with chocolates and cheeses, etc."
Chen Song's eyes lit up: "Good idea."
Wang Xiaohui laughed and said, "We can not only make candied haws, but also candied pears. There are pears in the kitchen, right? There is a snack in Wanwan called vermicelli paste, which is to apply a layer of red syrup outside the pears, but the pears they use are pickled."
As her thinking spread, Song Feiquan even wanted to make a sugar durian. Unfortunately, Icelandic durian was small and expensive, so she could only think about it for a while and could not put it into practice.
Soon, the bean paste was ready. The temperature in Iceland was low. If the cooked bean paste was left outside, it would cool down.
This temperature also helps make candied haws, otherwise the syrup will not hang on hawthorns or other fruits.
Stick the hawthorn with bean paste, put on a bunch and roll it around in the syrup. This is the candied haws.
