Chapter 154： Gold and silver cake

Jia Zhengjin knows nothing about the history and customs of this world!

Even after drinking a potion of elementary knowledge, I have only mastered some of the most basic languages.

So he was both curious and confused about the so-called Lan Lan Festival.

And he is also very strange to this strange plant called golden and silver tree.

But people who see this world are so enthusiastic about collecting the leaves of the gold and silver trees, they can throw away all the work in their hands, and concentrate on preparing for the festival, he is also somewhat infected. So he was taken by Tina and joined the team collecting gold and silver tree leaves.

The gold and silver tree is a very common tree species. The reason it is called a gold and silver tree does not mean that it looks like gold or silver. It is mainly because of the peculiar sap characteristics of this kind of tree. When the juvenile gold and silver trees are broken, the sap that flows out is silver, and the adult gold and silver trees are broken, and the sap that flows out is golden.

Although the color is similar to gold and silver, the sap is a non-toxic natural drink that can be eaten. It's just that if you just break and drink, it doesn't taste.

Tina teaches Jia Zhengjin to distinguish which gold and silver trees are mature and can be collected, and which are needed to continue to grow in the young stage. Then the couple picked the leaves together, and it was fun.

It was almost noon, and everyone had harvested enough leaves. In the area surrounded by the outer city wall, the entire forest of gold and silver trees was picked bare, leaving only the trunk and seedlings.

The villagers carried bags of gold and silver leaves and returned to the inner city pool with laughter.

Jia Zhengjin picked a lot, followed his wife Tina, took Peline and Christina, and carried the leaves back to the city together.

After returning, he went directly to his father-in-law's home.

Bollint moved out a hand-hewn stone grinding disc and washed it with buckets of water.

Mother-in-law, Landis, took everyone to the river to clean the leaves.

Jia Zhengjin glanced at the neighbors around him, and it was all the same. Almost every household has a grinding disc made of stone, and I don’t know when it was made, or they moved it from their own home?

Wash the discs and wash the leaves exactly the same way.

Jia Zhengjin wanted to help, but was immediately stopped by Bollinger: "Master Keane, this job is very simple, not so many people! You just have to look around."

Father-in-law said so, what else can Jia Zhengjin do? Although I really wanted to study how this thing was made, I was embarrassed to grab the things in my father-in-law's hands.

The mother-in-law brought back the leaves she liked with three girls, and her father-in-law, Bolint, also assembled the washed grinding disc, and then took out several pots from the room and placed them one after another at the water outlet of the grinding disc.

Jia Zhengjin stood on the side and watched curiously. Palin and Christina were also pushed to his side by Tina. The three of them stared straight at the grinding disc.

"It's starting!" Bolint yelled cheerfully, reaching for the wooden handle on the grinding disc.

Mother-in-law Lantis immediately took a handful of washed gold and silver tree leaves into the middle of the grinding disc.

"Squeaky~~" Bolint bent over, turning the grinding disc hard. It can be clearly seen that the gold and silver leaves in the middle of the grinding disc overflow a lot of golden sap under grinding. The sap leads to the water outlet along the edge of the grinding disc and flows down.

Tina had already taken the pottery pot underneath, and watched the golden sap happily enter the pot.

"A leaf has so much sap?" Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised.

"There are sacs in the leaves of the gold and silver trees to store the sap. When grinding, the sacs in the leaves are broken, and a lot of sap will flow out." Tina explained with a smile.

"It's amazing!!" Jia Zhengjin and Christina spoke in unison.

Jia Zhengjin turned his head to look at Christina, even if I didn't know if I was a stranger on earth, it would be fine if you didn't know. Anyway, you are also a native, even the first time you saw it? But then I thought of Christina as an ascetic priest. I only knew the practice since I was a child, and I am as strange as I am to the outside.

Grinding is really simple, and it's fast. Bolinte, Landis, and Tina's family of three were enough. It took not long to grind all the leaves, and they were full of 5 pots.

Jia Zhengjin saw that the pot was full of golden sap, took a wooden spoon and scooped it into his mouth, but it didn't taste at all.

"Don't hurry!" With the help of her parents, Tina put the five cans of sap to the sun's largest position in front of the door, and then smiled and said to Jia Zhengjin, "Leave it in the sun for a few hours, it will become very good. Ingredients! Now, let's make seasoning fillings! Keane, can you take someone to the city to set up the last stage?"

"Stage?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment. Tina should have said that it was the place where the bard Kiki performed last time.

"Put some bonfires, tables and chairs and so on around the stage. Everyone put the made gold and silver cakes together, and then the old people in the village will teach some young people to perform heroes to lead the human army to fight against the devil and win the show. When the time comes, everyone is watching the show, eating gold and silver cakes, and they are very happy! Then everyone dances hand in hand in front of the bonfire, praising the heroic achievements of the heroes..." Tina held her face showing happiness, "Really It's super happy!"

"But I want to see how the gold and silver cakes are made..." Jia Zhengjin was very curious. UU Reading

"This is very simple!" Tina said. "After the golden and silver tree sap has been exposed to the sun for a few hours, it will precipitate a golden powdery material, which is isolated from the water. When the time comes, pour the water out and let it dry a little longer. Sun, these powders will become soft and elastic dough. Then we cut all kinds of meat or vegetables into minced pieces, sprinkle on the dough, and then bake into cakes to eat! Now we have in the city There is a lot of honey. If you put honey on the cake, it will taste very attractive..."

"Sucky~~" After listening to Tina, Christina drooled. Immediately afterwards, his hands were folded, his eyes closed, and he continued to read the doctrine of the light god, trying to keep himself from being attracted. But the saliva in the corner of the mouth could not be stopped.

Jia Zhengjin looked speechless, but Christina was obviously a foodie by nature but was going to be a priest of hard work, which is really pitiful! It used to be okay before, but once awakened, I am afraid it is difficult to go back!

"Kean, please go and prepare for the stage! It is important to be able to celebrate at night, preparation is very important!" Tina said to him with a smile.

Jia Zhengjin really can't wait to experience some of the world's festivals: "Leave it to me! Go ahead and prepare now! We must have a lively celebration party today!"
