Chapter 222 Cake
The finished water pipes and tires are placed in the tool shed and soaked in water. This step is to soak out the harmful substances inside.
Take it out again tomorrow and dry it in a cool, ventilated place. Repeating this process twice will reduce the toxins inside.
Although most people in today's economic era are in good health, it's always good to be cautious.
After coming out, the group quickly went to take a shower. After a day's work, they were covered in a sour and burning rubber smell, which was really unpleasant.
Before taking a shower, Shi Nianqing went over to check on the starch that had settled on them.
The starch content of this baobab tree is truly impressive; it even formed a thick layer of sediment, after which all the water on top was poured off.
Then look at the starch on top. It doesn't look like a normal pure white color, but rather a mixture of grayish-gray and brown.
It looks a bit dirty.
"Can we eat it now?" Wu Xuan asked curiously.
Shi Nianqing nodded: "Theoretically speaking, this can now be used to make whatever you want. However, in reality, there is still a lot of dirt in it, and it needs to be settled several times. Of course, if you don't mind, you can cook it and eat it now."
Shi Nianqing is no longer the same Shi Nianqing who dug up grass roots when she first arrived; she now has certain expectations for life.
Especially now, the starch inside looks dirty, making it really hard to eat.
Wu Xuan quickly shook his head: "Then let's wait!"
After pouring out the water, Shi Nianqing added the prepared clean water, stirred it, and then put it in a basin to settle.
Then I went to take a shower, and after showering I came out to cook.
After everyone finished eating, they saw that the starch had mostly settled and its color had become much whiter.
Shi Nianqing estimated that it would take several more times for things to settle down.
This is, after all, a process of extracting powder in the wild, so there are many more impurities than one might imagine.
It still needs to go through multiple rounds of settling.
Following the previous steps, pour off the water on top, add clean water, stir, and let it settle.
I woke up twice during the night, each time to pour water, add water, stir, and let it settle.
The next morning, the starch had turned pure white, making it look incredibly appetizing.
Wrap it in a piece of cloth from inside the textile house, then hang it on a tree to dry the water inside.
It was a ball about the size of two people's heads, and Shi Nianqing estimated that it weighed about five or six pounds.
It has to be said that the starch content of the baobab tree trunk is really high, much higher than I imagined.
This has a higher starch content than the sweet potatoes of my previous life.
After about a morning, the powder inside had become very hard. If you used a little force to break it open, you could feel that it was like a stone inside.
Find the bamboo mat made from the bamboo that was used to dry things before, spread it out in a place where it can be exposed to the sun, break the powder into small pieces and put them on it to dry.
It will take about two to three days to dry the powder thoroughly.
Meanwhile, during this time, Shi Nianqing took out some powder and the eggs that she hadn't finished eating.
These are real eggs. Su Muge and Wu Xuan went into the woods to find pheasant nests and found eggs that were about the size of a baby's fist.
Separate the egg whites and yolks, then start whisking them directly with chopsticks.
Su Muge and Wu Xuan came over to help and quickly whipped the egg whites until they were very smooth. Then they kept adding the starch and coconut sugar that they had just made.
Then observe carefully; the egg inside is brown, which is the unique color of coconut sugar.
As you continue whipping, the egg whites become increasingly creamy. Then, whip the egg yolks slightly as well, mix the two together, and put them into a ceramic bowl that has already been prepared.
Shi Nianqing had already divided the outer stove, cleared all the charcoal fire inside, and then placed the ceramic basin inside.
Wait quietly for five or six minutes, then take it out and look at it.
The fragrant cake is ready.
"This is a chiffon cake. Following this method, it was indeed successful. Although the starch is different, as long as you have enough strength, miracles can happen."
The cake inside is very soft, and it even springs back slightly when pressed.
Shi Nianqing, through her gloves, used chopsticks to separate the cake from the ceramic bowl at the joint, then slammed it down, separating the cake from the bowl.
As soon as they separated the pieces, I smelled a rich, sweet fragrance.
It contains coconut sugar, so you can smell its sweet aroma, which has a subtle coconut fragrance.
It smelled incredibly sweet. Then, Shi Nianqing took out the dried fruit she had made earlier, mixed it with the starch, and added coconut sugar and dried fruit to it.
I made a cookie that doesn't quite look like a cookie.
Normal cookies are very fluffy, but these are a bit hard, though the taste is still very good.
It contains dried fruit, so you can taste the sweet and sour flavor of dried fruit.
Different dried fruits have different textures and can be stored for a long time if they are sealed in a glass jar.
Shi Nianqing put the dried fruit and cake together, picked up the cake and took a bite. It was soft, chewy and very fluffy.
It felt like taking a bite into the sweet, fragrant air, but soon the feeling of satisfaction filled my mouth.
The taste is absolutely amazing.
The other three friends also picked up a piece and ate it.
Suya was the first to eat, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes after just one bite.
"Soft and fluffy, like sweet air, it makes you feel sweet all over."
"It has a faint coconut aroma, but it's mostly sweet. If you add milk, you can also taste a subtle milky flavor."
Shi Nianqing nodded: "There's still a little bit of the goat milk I gave Cuihua before. I heated it up, let it cool, and put it in here."
As expected, Suya couldn't help but squint her eyes.
This tastes so good!
In addition, the two of them were squinting as they tasted it.
At this point, the live stream audience couldn't take it anymore.
What's so fragrant and soft? What's so sweet-smelling air? Sister Shi, what delicious food have you made this time?
[With just a quick left and right movement, the delicious food was born right before my eyes.]
Is it really that delicious? I need to look up recipes from ancient Earth.
[Chiffon cake, there really is a recipe for this! The recipe says it should be fragrant, soft, and very fluffy. What exactly does it taste like?]
[These materials are also quite different from what Sister Shi has.]
[Replicating it without the necessary materials is the ultimate torture.]
