Chapter 283 283. Chen Huahua’s Peach Blossoms
Chen Huahua is a food blogger at Xiaopo Station.
In Xiaopozhan, there are so many food bloggers like her, just like the crucian carp crossing the river.
Fortunately, Chen Huahua has always been famous for being real and funny. Therefore, after working hard for several years, she has nearly 300,000 fans, which is considered quite successful.
There was a live broadcast event on the website this time. She didn't decide on the theme for a while. She saw that the delicious food with thick oily red sauce that attracted the appetite was picked up by other up owners. As a motivated up owner, Lord, she is inevitably a little anxious.
After all, live broadcasts are all about an atmosphere. If she really cooked a dish in front of the audience, she would have no time to spend with her fans.
After much deliberation, dim sum is the best choice.
She can make Western pastries, but she is really not as good as some professional cake bloggers.
Making Chinese snacks is not as good as those who are skilled in shaping... After racking her brains, Chen Huahua looked at the peach branches outside the window and finally set her goal -
She is going to make flower cakes!
Flower cakes are a local specialty, and there’s really nothing unusual about them. But this cake is made with both flowers and sugar, so it will look beautiful in the camera. What’s more, the finished product is also very sweet.
Chen Huahua thought her idea was good, and more importantly, she decided not to use roses in it, but to choose a seasonal flower—peach blossom.
But the problem is that the ornamental peaches in the park are poisonous and cannot be eaten.
The peach blossoms at the nearby base are left to bear fruit... The dried peach blossoms are photogenic and inevitably lose a sense of beauty.
Chen Huahua, who lives in a first-tier city, can only go to the almighty Taotaobao.
There are quite a lot of Taotaobao, and the prices vary. Even the photos are some high-definition, some beautiful, some simple...
While swiping, she accidentally entered a small shop called "Pastoral Notes".
This store looks ordinary, but it has a bit of an extraordinary atmosphere.
For example, these photos seem to have been taken by some master photographer. They include close-ups, distant views, close-ups, and atmosphere. They can be submitted to competitions in minutes, not to mention how beautiful they are.
What kind of photos can be taken of tea, honey, cabbage, peach blossoms, and white fungus...
This is indeed a bit of a waste of natural resources.
However, it was precisely because of this beautiful picture that Chen Huahua was reluctant to leave the store for a while, and instead looked at them one by one.
She found that the price of peach petals in this store was also extremely outrageous—10 grams costs 20 yuan!
10 grams!
And it’s not dried without weighing it, but fresh!
There is a line of small words at the bottom, which explains that ice express delivery has different effects due to the length of the journey. If the petals are wilted, it will not affect the use or medicinal value, and returns will not be accepted.
Although fresh food does not accept returns, these flower petals...the sales are too outrageous, right?
And Peach Blossom has just been put on the shelves, and the people who bought it have only sold more than 500 copies, and the reviews below have not been released yet.
But she looked at other things in the same store, especially the tea leaves and aromatherapy bags. They were so praised that they were as good as heaven and earth. However, each one of them was written in a very real way, with pictures and videos, and even a separate one. Will come back next week to add comments!
Without exception, they are all good reviews.
Chen Huahua:…
Do today's customers not care about what's going on when they pay?
This store is the same. An aromatherapy bag is an aromatherapy bag. You just put a gram of tea in a ziplock bag, take a photo, and tell the contents! Isn’t it worthwhile to leave a note on the details page? ? ?
In short, after looking at the whole store, I felt that it was outrageous.
Only when she paid did she find out that there was still 20 yuan for postage, which made her feel very uncomfortable...
It’s a big no-no not to have free shipping! ! But after struggling with it, she still managed to pay.
There is one thing to say, the express delivery fee is not free.
Fengfeng Express is really fast. Only one day later, she received the carefully packed express box.
The dry ice bag is cool and air-conditioned, and the fresh peach petals carefully packed in the packaging box are red and pink, fresh and sultry, without any trace of wilting. On the contrary, it makes people feel like a spring breeze, especially fresh.
Just because of the quality, Chen Huahua feels that her money is not in vain!
The slight depression I felt before was relieved in an instant.
She couldn’t wait to give the preview and soon started the live broadcast.
The name of the live broadcast is as mentioned before—
【Purely natural peach blossom cake, freshly baked! 】
It is the afternoon now, just when people are drowsy, and such a leisurely live broadcast room is needed to maintain this smoky beauty.
Chen Huahua, as usual, first prepared various materials and displayed them on the screen one by one, and then displayed the peach petals that had not been taken out of the packaging box in front of everyone. She also did not forget to complain:
“Did you see it? It’s such a small box of peach petals that cost me 120 yuan! These are fresh peach petals that I bought online at a high price. If the cake made today is not delicious, I think it must bear the primary responsibility.”
The barrage was filled with laughter and tears.
As we all know, if you actually go to the store to buy flower cakes, 100 yuan is enough to buy several boxes.
Huahua only got a box of tightly pressed peach petals - she bought five portions, which was only 50 grams.
It’s just a box if it’s compacted.
Everyone can only sigh: if you have money, you will be willful.
There are various ways to make flower cakes, but Huahua chose the most common one - after all, it is for cooking novices, it is too complicated and not suitable for her audience.
At this moment, in front of the camera, she washed the peach petals with cold white water, and then poured them into a bamboo dustpan to dry.
While it was drying, she prepared white sugar and honey, as well as a cleaned glass bottle.
“After the peach petals are dried, pour them into a basin, then add sugar one by one, and rub them gently with your hands?”
“While kneading out the water, the sugar can be better mixed with the peach petals for pickling…”
In the camera lens, during the scratching and rubbing process, the color of the peach blossom becomes darker and darker. The originally pink and white petals are kneaded to create deep red marks, and the edges are stained with pink and red juice.
The aroma of peach blossoms could not be smelled in the live broadcast room, but Chen Huahua was instantly intoxicated.
At this moment, she was holding the basin and couldn't help but sniff it in front of the camera, and then said solemnly: "I have a hunch that today's flower cake will be particularly delicious!"
“Because of the peach petals, it smells really good, it’s so natural and sweet!”
“Here, let’s add some sugar—don’t say too much! That’s how much sugar is needed to make flower cakes, because the petals are bitter in nature!”
“Here, keep kneading...Wow, it smells so good! I can’t help but want to eat it now!”
Chen Huahua swallowed. This time it was really not an exaggeration. The aroma of peach petals mixed with sugar made her unable to hold back.
