Chapter 264: Chen Huahua's peach blossoms
Chen Huahua is a food blogger on Bilibili.
On Bilibili, food bloggers like her are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, too many to count.
Fortunately, Chen Huahua has always been famous for being real and funny, so after struggling for a few years, she also has nearly 300,000 fans, which can be considered quite successful.
This time, the website had a live broadcast event. She hadn't decided on a theme for a while. Seeing those oily and red-sauced foods that attracted appetites were all set by other up-hosts, as an up-host with ambition, she was inevitably a bit anxious.
After all, live broadcasting pays attention to an atmosphere. If she really fried a dish on the spot, it would be better not to accompany the fans.
Thinking about it, snacks are the most suitable.
But making Western desserts, she really wasn't as good as some professional cake bloggers.
Making Chinese snacks, she wasn't as good as some clever hands who could make shapes... After racking her brains, Chen Huahua looked at the peach blossom branches outside the window and finally set a goal—
She was going to make flower cakes!
Flower cakes are local specialties. To be honest, they are not rare. But making this cake involves flowers and sugar, so it will look good in the lens, and more importantly, the finished product is also very sweet.
Chen Huahua felt her idea was good, and more importantly, she decided not to use roses inside, but to choose a seasonal flower—peach blossoms.
But the problem is that the ornamental peaches in the park are poisonous and cannot be eaten.
The peach blossoms in the nearby base are left for fruiting... Dried peach blossoms look good, but they lack a sense of beauty.
Chen Huahua, who is in a first-tier city, can only go to the omnipotent Taotao Treasure.
There are quite a lot on Taotao Treasure, and the prices are different, and even the photos are high-definition, beautiful, or simple...
Browsing and browsing, she accidentally entered a shop called 【Tian Yuan Ji Shi】.
This shop looks ordinary, but it carries a slightly unusual atmosphere.
For example, these photos seem to be taken by some photography master, with close-ups, long shots, close-ups, atmosphere, and can be used for competitions in minutes, not to mention how beautiful they are.
But the photos taken are just tea leaves, honey, small white cabbage, peach blossoms, and white fungus...
This is truly a bit of a waste of heaven's gifts.
However, it was precisely because of these beautiful pictures that Chen Huahua couldn't bear to leave the shop for a while, and instead looked at them one by one.
She found that the price of peach petals in this shop was also exceptionally outrageous—10 grams for 20 yuan!
10 grams!
And it's not the dry kind that doesn't weigh, but fresh!
It happened that there was a line of small print below, explaining that the ice-shipped express delivery has different timeliness due to the distance, and the petals will not affect the use or medicinal use if they are withered, and returns are not accepted.
Although fresh food does not accept returns, this petal... this is too outrageous, right?
And the peach blossoms were just put on the shelves not long ago, and the sales were only 500+ portions, and there were no evaluations below.
But she had looked at the other things in the shop, especially the tea and the aromatherapy sachets; the praise for them was simply out of this world, yet each review was written so realistically, with pictures and videos attached, and some even came back a week later to add follow-up comments!
Without exception, they were all good reviews.
Chen Huahua:...
Do customers nowadays not care about how outrageous it is when they pay?
This shopkeeper is also, the aromatherapy bag is an aromatherapy bag, really just use a self-sealing bag to put 1 gram of tea leaves and take a picture, and have to state the content! And have to note on the details page that it's not cost-effective???
In short, looking at the whole shop, it was full of outrageousness.
But this outrageousness carried a magic, so that Chen Huahua placed an order unconsciously.
It was only when paying that she found there was a 20-yuan postage fee, which made her feel very uncomfortable...
Not free shipping is a taboo!
!
But struggling and struggling, she still successfully paid.
To be honest, the express fee was not paid in vain.
Feng Feng Express's timeliness is truly strong. Just one day later, she received the carefully packed express box.
The dry ice bag was cool and emitting cold air. The fresh and tender peach petals packed in the packing box were red, pink, fresh, and fragrant, fresh and tempting, without any trace of wilting. Instead, it gave people a feeling of spring breeze, exceptionally fresh.
Just for the quality, Chen Huahua felt that her money was not spent in vain!
The slight depression before was smoothed out in an instant.
She couldn't wait to give a preview, and soon opened the live broadcast.
The name of the live broadcast was just as she said before—
【Pure natural peach blossom cake, fresh out of the oven!】
Now it is afternoon, just in time for people to be drowsy, and it needs such a leisurely live broadcast room to maintain this beautiful and intoxicating feeling.
Chen Huahua also showed various materials on the screen one by one as usual, and then displayed the peach petals that hadn't been taken out of the packing box to everyone, and didn't forget to complain:
"See? Just such a small box of peach petals cost me 120 big oceans! This is the fresh peach petals I bought online at a high price. If the cake made today is not delicious, I think it should bear the primary responsibility."
The barrage was a mix of laughter and tears.
As everyone knows, to buy flower cakes in a real shop, 100 yuan is enough to buy several boxes.
And here at Huahua, she only got a box of tightly pressed peach petals—she bought five portions, which was only 50 grams.
Pressed tightly, it was just a box.
Everyone could only sigh: Rich and willful.
There are all kinds of ways to make flower cakes, but Huahua chose the most ordinary one—after all, it is for kitchen novices to see, and it is too complicated for her audience.
At this moment, in front of the lens, she washed the peach petals clean with cold boiled water, and then poured them into a bamboo winnowing basket to air-dry.
In the process of air-drying, she prepared white sugar and honey, and a clean glass bottle.
"After the peach petals are air-dried, pour them into a basin, and then add white sugar in turn, and rub them gently with your hands?"
"While rubbing out the moisture, make the white sugar better integrate and marinate with the peach petals..."
In the lens, in the process of rubbing, the color of the peach blossoms became deeper and deeper. The originally pink and white petals were rubbed with deep red marks, and the edges were stained with pink and red juice.
The fragrance of peach blossoms could not be smelled in the live broadcast room, but Chen Huahua was instantly intoxicated.
At this moment, she held the basin, couldn't help but sniff hard in front of the lens, and then said solemnly: "I have a premonition that today's flower cake will be particularly delicious!"
"Because this peach petal, it is really fragrant, especially that kind of natural fragrance and sweetness!"
"Come, let's add some sugar next—don't say there is too much sugar! Making flower cakes requires so much sugar, because the petals are bitter in essence!"
"Come, keep rubbing... wow, it's really fragrant, so fragrant! I can't help but want to eat it now!"
Chen Huahua swallowed her saliva. This time it was really not an exaggeration. The fragrance of this peach petal mixed with sugar made her unable to hold back. ===== CHAPTER 265 =====
