Speaking of dried apricots, Xiao Nianzhi thought of her dried apricots again.
But this time when she came here, she didn't bother to bring it, so she brought pickled cucumbers.
At that time, the dried apricots were half-dried in the sun. I wonder if it is raining now and will the dried apricots absorb moisture and deteriorate?
Unable to go back for the time being, Xiao Nianzhi just had a quick thought in his mind and didn't think much about it.
There are a lot of things, and of course more delicious food can be made.
Xiao Nianzhi listened for a while, then nodded to express that he understood, and did not ask Lai Shun to say more.
Although the wind is not strong in summer, if it blows occasionally, rainwater can easily get into the mouth.
The group of people arrived at the main hall quickly. Because of the rain, there were more than half the number of pilgrims today.
The monks followed their daily schedule and held morning classes as before.
Xiao Nianzhi and the others went over, put away the oil-paper umbrellas, then found a seat and knelt there, and soon the sound of chanting rang out in their ears.
I felt a little sleepy at first, but after listening for a long time, I felt it was quite good. This sound will make people's spiritual world slowly calm down.
After the monks finish their morning classes, the pilgrims go to the dining hall to have a vegetarian meal.
At this time, the food has been prepared and the canteen is empty, so Xiao Nianzhi and the others can use it.
Seeing Xiao Nianzhi coming over, the eyes of the upright little novice monk with a square face twitched.
God knows, when he saw the vegetarian pork ribs yesterday, he thought these people were provoking Buddha.
Although it is said that my Buddha is compassionate and tolerant of all things.
However, the young novice monk said: He is not.
I'm sorry, he is a warrior monk, and he is used to convincing people with "reason"!
Later, it was discovered that it was not really meaty, but made of flour and potatoes. The little novice monk performed a real-life version of pupil earthquake for Yan Changxia.
By the time the little novice monk recovered from the shock, Yan Changxia and the others had already eaten.
To be honest, he was still a little curious about the taste of the vegetarian ribs.
Potatoes and flour?
Can these two eat together?
It seems that he needs to try it and make it later to scare the brothers in the temple.
After listening to the sutra, everyone was a little hungry.
In addition, they didn't want to bother Xiao Nianzhi all the time. If she hadn't said that she wanted to prepare some snacks, everyone would have been ready to eat vegetarian food.
Anyway, I came here to pray, and the main thing is sincerity.
Don’t worry too much about food, it’s only for ten days and a half, is it possible that you still can’t hold on?
Xiao Nianzhi took a look at today's vegetarian meal, which included multigrain porridge, multigrain steamed buns, cucumbers, mixed spinach, and boiled peanuts in salt water.
As far as side dishes go, it's actually quite rich.
Xiao Nianzhi went to the kitchen at the back, looked at the current ingredients, took a handful of vermicelli, and soaked it in the hot water in the pot.
Then he asked Laishun to go back and get the fungus and dried peonies.
The peony fruit of the Jin Dynasty is the modern longan.
Laishun went back soon, and while waiting for him to come back, Xiao Nianzhi blanched the spinach and cut the carrots into thin strips.
Yan Changxia couldn't help but squeezed in to help.
Yan Xingxuan also wanted to go in, but Guo Sixue reminded him in a low voice: "Yesterday there were few people, but today there are many people. You said Xiangxiang is your sister, but others don't know. I'm afraid there will be gossip about Xiangxiang.
”
Although people's customs are said to be open, some people are willing to add insult to injury, and some people have bad mouths.
What if the words don’t sound nice and Xiao Nianzhi finds out, how sad will the little girl be?
Yan Xingxuan heard the same truth, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart. Then he used his eyes to stab every pilgrim who came in and out of the dining hall.
Pilgrims:?
What happened?
They didn’t provoke each other, right?
There were several pilgrims who originally had no hope for the food in the dining hall, but now they received Yan Xingxuan’s eyes and immediately backed away.
Yan Changxia came over, but he couldn't help much, he just lit the fire.
For this job, Yan Changxia is now very familiar with it, and she can even make a fire!
This technology is quite explosive in the entire circle of ladies in the capital!
Xiao Nianzhi originally didn't want her to do it, but Hongshuang Hongzhu was waiting eagerly behind her.
However, Yan Changxia enjoyed it but refused to give up his place!
Xiao Nianzhi thought about it and let her go.
Laishun came back soon, and Xiao Nian divided the peonies and fungus into two basins and soaked them.
While waiting for the fungus to soak, I blanch the soaked vermicelli again.
Blanch it until it's about medium rare.
After taking it out, chop it into small pieces with a knife.
The way Xiao Nianzhi raised and lowered the knife was a little rusty and a little fierce.
The little novice monk watched from the door, his brows couldn't help but jump up.
Looking at the soft and bully female donor, why is she so scary when she lifts the knife?
The little novice monk didn't dare to look further. Although he was also a warrior monk, he still said the same thing.
He has always convinced people with reason!
By the way, he is astonishingly tall, half a head taller than Yan Xingxuan!
Xiao Nianzhi worked very quickly. After the fungus was soaked, washed and chopped, he put the fried and chopped spinach, shredded carrots, vermicelli and fungus together, mixed the sauce and added it. In fact, it will taste better if freshly squeezed scallion oil can be added.
However, now that they are not allowed to eat it, Xiao Nianzhi can only take cinnamon and star anise, squeeze out a spice oil, and add this for seasoning.
Finally add a spoonful of flour.
The purpose of adding flour is to use the stickiness of the flour to make the balls tighter and prevent them from falling apart during the high-temperature steaming process.
After mixing the vegetable filling, Xiao Nianzhi washed his hands again, then took out an appropriate amount, formed it into a small ball, squeezed out the excess water and fat, then rolled it in corn flour, kneaded it tightly, and rolled it again.
Repeat this three times, rolling only once each time to ensure that the vegetable dumplings are only wrapped in a thin layer, and then wrap the second layer.
The reason why it is repeated three times is to make it more compact with the corn dough.
Pinch off the excess fat and water every time so that the vegetable dumplings and cornmeal can be combined better.
After the dumplings were ready, Xiao Nianzhi put the golden dumplings on the plate on the side, and then pinched another one.
One after another until all the prepared vegetable fillings are used up.
Then, put the kneaded corn balls on the pot to steam.
Because it is a pure vegetable version, plus the spinach and vermicelli are processed.
Therefore, the time for steaming in the pot does not take too long, and is controlled within the time of a cup of tea.
When the temperature comes up, the fresh and natural fragrance of corn has begun to float out.
After it, there is the fragrance of vegetables and the mellow aroma of sauce.
In fact, if there are eggs and dried shrimps, the taste will be richer and more fragrant.
Xiao Nianzhi also saw the multigrain steamed buns in the vegetarian meal yesterday, and thought that he could make some simple version of whole grains to eat.
The golden corn dumplings come with both rice and vegetables. There isn’t much cornmeal wrapped around them, just a thin layer. After peeling them off, you’ll find more vegetable dumplings that are full of flavor.
The little novice watched there for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He was a little excited and wanted to learn from Xiao Nianzhi how to make this dish.
Compared with the previous vegetarian ribs, this dish is more practical.
The main thing is to combine meals to save time and effort.
However, as soon as he took steps forward, he heard movement in the direction of the dining hall door.
The little novice monk paused and turned his head to take a look.
Second update
Thanks to the little cuties for their tips and votes
