Chapter 168: Eat the Clouds in the Sky in One Bite
After the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the Shen family father and son went to work as they should, and went to school as they should.
Chen Huazheng returned to her previous life, eating, sleeping and reading storybooks every day.
Sometimes I think about business and make some delicious food.
Zhou Ying still often came to the Shen Mansion to learn cooking from Shen Huazheng. Princess Lejia now had a lot of free time, so she would go to the Shen Mansion frequently.
On this day, Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia came to the Shen Mansion again and brought good news to Shen Huazheng.
"Zheng'er, my father said that the food street in East City is almost finished. We can now start thinking about the next steps for the food street."
Princess Lejia swallowed the popcorn in her mouth and said, "Wow, that's great. Then we can sell a lot of delicious food in the food court, and we can go shopping there ourselves."
Chen Huazheng picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Okay, actually I already have a preliminary idea. We can subdivide the types of food and divide the food street into several areas."
Princess Lejia: "Yes, yes, it has to be subdivided. Then the milk tea shop will be opened in one place, various snacks will be opened in one place, and there will also be various snacks."
Zhou Ying nodded, "It's a good idea indeed. This way, we can see at a glance what's on the street. It will also be more convenient for customers to go shopping."
Just then, several maids came in carrying trays.
They placed a few porcelain bowls on the table and left.
Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying knew at a glance that Chen Huazheng had made new food, and they looked into the bowl curiously.
"Zheng Zheng, what is this?"
"Zheng'er, have you made new food?"
Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying both spoke at the same time.
Chen Huazheng: "This is jelly, you guys try it."
Jelly??
Zhou Ying subconsciously looked at the bowl in front of her again. The exquisite and translucent jelly lay quietly in the white porcelain bowl, like mutton-fat jade.
Looking at it this way, it looks like a calm lake.
There are some fruits dotted on top and around the jelly, just like small boats sailing on a calm lake, it is dreamy and beautiful.
Princess Lejia touched the jelly with a spoon. The jelly trembled slightly in the white porcelain bowl, looking very delicate and interesting.
It is transparent and looks extremely soft. It trembles slightly when touched with a spoon, as if it would break with just the slightest force.
She scooped up a small piece of jelly and put it in her mouth.
Slippery, sour and sweet.
You don't even need to chew it, the jelly slides into your throat with a "slurp".
The peach on top is so juicy that I can smell its sweetness before I put it in my mouth.
After swallowing the jelly in her mouth, Princess Lejia scooped up a piece of peach and put it into her mouth.
Just bite it gently with your teeth, and the sweet and sour juice will splash out.
Princess Lejia scooped up a big mouthful of jelly, and her little face was stuffed with it.
Delicious, this is so delicious.
It's just not very appetizing, I finished it in no time.
The jelly was very slippery. Zhou Ying poked it several times with a spoon before scooping out a piece and putting it into her mouth.
It tastes sweet and sour, and when you chew it, you can taste the sweetness of peach.
"Zheng Zheng, this jelly is really delicious. It's even better than the little rabbit and pear jelly you made last time."
Princess Lejia has always been generous in praising Shen Huazheng, and what she said was the truth.
Zhou Ying also nodded in agreement: "Peaches and jelly really go well together, and honeydew melon is also delicious."
"As long as you like it."
Shen Huazheng also scooped up a mouthful of jelly and put it into her mouth.
Really delicious~~
The weather is so nice today, it would be most comfortable to have afternoon tea.
But, with only jelly and fruit, I always feel like something is missing.
Suddenly, she looked up as if she realized something and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above her head.
The sky is as deep and pure blue as the sea, and the clouds float in the air like "cotton candy".
[The clouds in the sky look so delicious, I really want to have a bite~~]
Zhou Ying: (*^_^*)
Zheng'er is always so cute.
Princess Lejia: (～￣▽￣)～
Although she also wanted to eat clouds, the clouds were in the sky and she couldn't reach them even with a ladder.
[Or maybe make a soufflé and eat it, it will be like eating clouds. Yeah, after all, afternoon tea is missing a giant soufflé. ]
Zhou Ying & Princess Le Jia: !!!!!!
No, clouds are really edible? ?
Chen Huazheng looked at Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia: "Cousin Ying, Aning, let me make soufflé for you."
Zhou Ying and Princess Le Jia both said without hesitation: "Okay!"
Oh my god, now they can even taste the clouds~~
As for what soufflé is, it doesn’t matter, as long as you know it’s delicious.
Shen Huazheng did what she said and immediately got up and started busying herself in the kitchen.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything, and the ingredients for making soufflé are also simple, requiring only eggs, sugar, starch and white vinegar.
Not all bakers dare to make soufflé, because the slightest mistake can lead to a complete failure.
It took Shen Huazheng several attempts before she figured out her own method.
She took out ten eggs, separated the egg whites and yolks first, then took out three egg yolks and poured them into a porcelain bowl.
The egg whites are very easy to deflate after being beaten, so the egg yolks need to be processed first.
Shen Huazheng added appropriate amounts of sugar and starch to the porcelain bowl containing egg yolks, stirred it into a batter, and set it aside.
The next step is to beat the egg whites. First, add a little white vinegar to the egg whites to remove the fishy smell, then add white sugar in portions and start beating.
First, beat the egg whites until large bubbles appear, add white sugar for the first time, then beat until small bubbles appear, add white sugar for the second time, beat until the meringue has texture, and add white sugar for the third time.
After beating the sugar evenly, Shen Huazheng picked it up gently with chopsticks, and an obvious curved hook was immediately left on it.
After the egg whites were beaten, she poured one-third of them into the egg yolk paste, stirred quickly and evenly, then poured them back into the remaining egg whites and stirred quickly again.
Shen Huazheng poured the prepared soufflé paste into a large porcelain bowl and put it in the oven to bake.
As the soufflé was baked, the rich sweet aroma spread and filled the entire kitchen.
Everyone in the kitchen was so greedy that they swallowed their saliva. It smelled so good!!!
After coming out of the oven, the soufflé has a fluffy cloud-like shape and will sway gently as the porcelain bowl moves.
Every time the freshly baked soufflé is served, you can see it shaking noticeably.
At this time, the sound of "duang~ duang ~duang" always appeared in Shen Huazheng's mind.
Princess Lejia's eyes widened with amazement, "Oh my God, Zheng Zheng really made the clouds."
Zhou Ying poked it gently with a spoon and immediately widened her eyes, "Zheng'er, is there water in it? Why is it shaking?"
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, “It’s not water in it, try it quickly and you’ll know in a moment.”
Soufflé requires two "speeds": it has to be fast when making and fast when eating.
It is at a high temperature in the oven and will collapse quickly when it cools down after coming out of the oven, so it must be tasted as soon as possible.
