Qixi Festival, delicious fruits and delicious food

Overview

Qixi Qiaoguo is also called Qiaoshi. According to legend, people used colorful threads to string the Qiaoshi and threw it on the back of the house, so that magpies could pick it up and build a bridge, so that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could cross the Milky Way to meet each other at night. Since then, the custom of knocking Qiaoguo has been passed down to this day. I pray for luck and receive blessings, and wish the people I love and those who love me happiness and good health~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare ingredients: flour: 125g, milk: 60g, yeast: 1g, sugar: 10g

   

2. 2 Mix the flour yeast and sugar and stir well, then pour in the milk.

   

3. 3 The dough is kneaded and placed in a moist and warm place for fermentation.

   

4. 4 You can apply the ingredients when the surface of the dough is moist. There is no need to wait for the dough to puff up too much, because if the dough puffs up too much, the texture will not be so clear when you use the mold to shape it.

   

5. 5 Sprinkle a thin layer of flour into the mold to prevent sticking.

   

6. 6 Roll the cut dough into a round ball, put it into the mold with the smooth side facing down, and press it with moderate force. If the dough is too big, you can use scissors to cut off the excess dough. After cutting, be sure to press the surface flat again to avoid leaving traces of cutting.

   

7. 7 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Decorate the popped fruit with food coloring. Place in the middle rack of the oven and bake in about 15 minutes. Please adjust the temperature and time accordingly according to your oven's habits. As long as the fruit is roasted and filled up like small bubbles, and the surface is golden, it means it is ripe.

   

8. 8 You can use colorful threads and tassels to string the fruit together for decoration.

   

9. 9 According to legend, every year on the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet in the sky at the Magpie Bridge.

   

10. 10 Weaver Girl is a beautiful, intelligent and ingenious fairy.

    

11. 11 If a mortal woman begs for wisdom and skill from her on this night, Weaver Girl will teach her skills to people without reservation, so the seventh day of July is also called the Festival of Begging for Skills.

    

12. 12 "Qiaoguo" is also called Qiaoqiao fruit. After eating the Qiaoguo offered during the Chinese Valentine's Day, people will become very smart and their hands will become very dexterous.

    

13. 13 The story is over and the "Qiaoguo" is ready. I'm going to ask Sister Weaver to make me smarter! Happy Chinese Valentine's Day everyone!
