"Really, just these two trumpets?"

"Really, I applied for these two trumpets, and I was seen through by my smart, beautiful, gentle and kind wife at a glance, ashamed!"

"How can a person who is dozens of years old talk with a flamboyant tongue? I confiscated the money, what to buy in the future and ask me directly, why do I have to hide my private money?"

The conversation between the two came to an end, and Xu Wenhai returned to the kitchen with his head drooped, with a look of chagrin on his face.

Xu Zhuo wanted to comfort his father, but the words came to his lips: "It's over so soon? I thought my mother was going to beat you." ”

Xu Wenhai smiled reluctantly, leaning on the cabinet to admire the fried rice cakes made by Xu Zhuo: "At this time, you have to show your eloquence, otherwise your mother will really beat my ......"

After speaking, he took the mobile phone and handed it to Xu Zhuo: "Help me turn off the prompt sound, I am so scared of the New Year." ”

Xu Zhuo didn't care, took the phone and looked at the name of the trumpet, only to understand why Chen Guifang let go of Comrade Xu so lightly.

Because of his Alipay's two nicknames: a surprise for his wife and a private money for his son.

This......

The wisdom of middle-aged men is really admirable, and hiding private money can also leave a way back for themselves, and they have learned!

Xu Zhuo secretly kept these two nicknames in his heart, and maybe he would use them in the future.

No wonder Chen Guifang wasn't very angry, it is estimated that these two nicknames offset most of my mother's anger, plus Xu Wenhai's flattery at a critical time, this matter will naturally pass.

Maybe Chen Guifang will be moved in her heart.

High, really high.

At this time, Xu Zhuo looked at Xu Wenhai, his eyes were full of admiration, and he no longer despised his father for not being able to play with his mobile phone, and he no longer disliked him for not even hiding his private money.

After all, this wave of reversal of defeat into victory is really a classic case.

If someone wants to come up with a tutorial on hiding private money, Xu Wenhai's performance today is enough to be used as a teaching material for a class.

When he was full of emotion, Xu Wenhai, who was the party concerned, calmly picked up the chopsticks and tasted the fried rice cake made by Xu Zhuo.

"This taste is good, fragrant and delicious, and slightly spicy, this dish is definitely delicious. However, the rice cake is a little hard, so if you soak it first and then slice and stir-fry, the effect should be better. ”

As a chef, although Xu Wenhai has never made rice cakes, he still has knowledge and experience, and he immediately said the shortcomings of this dish.

Xu Zhuo is also very clear about this, today he is just to show off the skill of the dish of fried rice cakes, and he does not plan to do it more expressively, after all, he has never touched it before.

And the skill of fried rice cakes that she got is actually focused on making rice cakes, not fried rice cakes.

It's just that there is no custom of eating rice cakes in the Central Plains, let alone the habit of making rice cakes, so this skill seems a bit chicken.

If you want to play out, you have to take advantage of the New Year to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

After the dishes were fried, the rice cakes had been steamed, Yu Peiyong also made soup rice cakes, and the family had a beautiful dinner, and then Xu Zhuo drove back with Yu Keke.

After arriving home, one began to plan the work plan of the sales department after the start of work, and the other turned on the computer and began to eat in the wilderness of the chicken game......

The next day, Xu Zhuo did not go to the old lady's house again, but returned to the store and started to work.

It is said that it is to work, but in fact, it is to exercise, and if I don't cook for a few days, I always feel a little stiff.

was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon, when Xu Zhuo put down the spatula in his hand, he felt that his body had adjusted.

A few days ago, I ate and played with food, and I haven't moved, but today I was busy with the peak of noon, made dozens of dishes, sweated profusely, and was transparent.

People really need to exercise.

After finishing the work in hand, Xu Zhuo took off his apron, took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, unscrewed it and took a sip, which was really comfortable.

With Coke, Xu Zhuo ate most of the sweet duck, and then returned to the kitchen with a mouthful.

"Jianguo, where are the soaked kidney beans? While it's okay at this moment, I'll make the kidney bean rolls. ”

After eating and drinking enough, and having rested enough, Xu Zhuo began to prepare the snack called kidney bean rolls that the old lady was thinking about yesterday.

This is a famous palace snack, it is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi heard that someone outside the palace was selling, so she asked people to buy some, and once she tasted it, she liked the texture and taste of kidney bean rolls.

Xu Zhuo didn't know if the person who sold kidney bean rolls back then had the lion's roar skill, and his voice could actually penetrate half of the Forbidden City;

I don't know if the Empress Dowager Cixi has ears to the wind, and she can even hear a cry outside the palace wall.

But no matter what, this flawed story has been passed down from generation to generation, and it will continue to be passed on.

It's also interesting to think about it, many delicacies across the country like to be linked to big people, and the higher frequency is Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi.

One is when I went down to the south of the Yangtze River, I found countless delicacies, and the other was when I fled west, I encountered many delicacies that Lafayette praised.

Whether these stories are true or not, they have already put a layer of legend on the dishes involved.

Take this kidney bean roll as an example, if there is no gilding of the Empress Dowager Cixi, it is a very ordinary dessert, so ordinary that even the yellow steamed buns in northern Shaanxi and the sticky bean buns in the northeast can't beat.

But with that flawed story, it's different.

In the words of the people in Beijing: zhèi kidney bean rolls are not simple, even Lafayette was obsessed with zhèi mouth, and specially summoned the people who made kidney bean rolls into the palace, worked as an errand in the imperial dining room, and became a celebrity in front of the palace......

The person who invented the kidney bean roll didn't become a celebrity in front of the emperor Xu Zhuo didn't know, but he knew very well that as long as he made the kidney bean roll today, he would be a celebrity in front of the old lady.

The recipe for kidney beans is very simple, and Xu Zhuo has the skills to do donkey rolling, which has a natural advantage for a similar type of delicacy such as kidney bean rolls.

In addition, I have searched for the tutorial yesterday, although the details are still a little understood, but it should not be difficult to make this dessert.

Jianguo walked over with a pot of white kidney beans soaked in clear water, his face full of curiosity: "Xu Zhuo, is this thing easy to do?"

"Yes, let people who are not busy come over, this thing is not very difficult, this thing will look at it, it is not difficult, but there is a peeling step ahead, you have to use your hands one by one, it is more laborious. ”

After Xu Zhuo finished speaking, he reached out and took out a handful of white kidney beans from the basin and began to peel them.

Because it has been soaked for more than ten hours, the steps of peeling the white kidney beans are very easy, rubbing and tearing with your hands, the outer layer of skin will fall off, and only two white raw watercress remain.

The watercress of white kidney beans looks very similar to broad beans, but the two are not the same thing. White kidney beans belong to lentils, which are two plants with broad beans.

There are many people with great strength, and everyone is more enthusiastic about the 300 salary during the Spring Festival, so in less than half an hour, a pot of white kidney beans was all peeled.

Xu Zhuo cleaned the watercress with water, and then grabbed the white kidney beans and put them in the steaming tray, not too much, just a thin layer.

Anyway, the steamer is big enough, so you don't have to worry about running out of space.

After spreading all the watercress into the steaming tray, Xu Zhuo stuffed all the steaming trays into the steaming cabinet one by one, turned up the heat, let the steam sufficient, and steamed continuously for fifty minutes.

White kidney beans are harder and more difficult to ripen, so try to steam them for a longer time to avoid hard lumps when they are mashed later.

While it was steaming, Xu Zhuo dug up some red bean puree, sweet potato puree and purple potato puree from the dessert department to make donkey rolling as the filling for kidney bean rolls.

Then I got some cooked black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds, stir-fried them in a pot over low heat until fragrant, and then set them aside for later use.

Fifty minutes later, after the steaming cabinet stopped fire, Xu Zhuo stuffed for another ten minutes, and then opened the door of the steaming cabinet and brought out the steaming trays inside one by one.

Although it was steamed for fifty minutes and stuffy for another ten minutes, the watercress in the steaming tray was still intact, and the hardness of this thing was really good.

However, the higher the hardness and the slower the ripening time, the more delicate the texture of the white kidney beans is, and the better the taste of the food will be.

Pour the white kidney beans into a wooden bucket while they are hot, then Xu Zhuo picked up the rolling pin and began to pound it like mashed garlic.

Originally, there was no need to be so rough, you only needed to knead the white kidney bean paste into puree with your hands.

But there are too many white kidney beans prepared by Jianguo, so Xu Zhuo had to adopt this rough-looking method.

However, although the means were a little wilder, the effect was good, and it didn't take long for the watercress in the bucket to become a bucket of raw bean paste.

In order to prevent there from being a whole piece of watercress inside, Xu Zhuo stirred the rolling pin for a while, and waited until the kidney bean puree inside became more and more delicate, and then took out the rolling pin.

Then, Xu Zhuo took a very fine mesh sieve, scooped a spoonful of kidney bean puree with a spoon and poured it in, and then gently squeezed it with the back of the spoon, and the delicate kidney bean puree was filtered out of the mesh sieve.

This is a more patient job, you can't be impatient, you have to take your time. Because once you are in a hurry, those crumbs in the kidney bean puree may mix in and affect the taste of the finished product.

However, this kind of delicate work is also beneficial to slow down, and when all the kidney bean puree is filtered, the temperature also drops.

Sprinkle some easy to melt sugar in it and stir it up, and then you can move on to the next step.

This is the most difficult step in turning kidney bean refried bean rolls into kidney bean rolls, as you can't touch them directly with your hands during this step.

Kidney bean puree is relatively sticky, and the next step cannot use anti-stick measures such as sprinkling dry starch, so you can only use other methods to make kidney bean rolls.

Xu Zhuo found a few large disposable food bags, scooped some kidney bean puree into it, and then used a rolling pin to gently roll out the kidney bean puree into six or seven millimeter thick slices.

You have to be careful when doing this step, because if you push too hard, the kidney bean puree will be squeezed out of the plastic bag, so you have to be careful.

With such a cautious look, Jianguo and Guo Xingwang on the side didn't dare to come out, for fear of scaring Xu Zhuo and causing a mistake.

After rolling it out, Xu Zhuo put the plastic bag on the cutting board, and then carefully cut it along the edge of the plastic bag with a knife, removing the plastic film on the top of the kidney bean puree, leaving only the bottom layer.

After it was done, Xu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and Guo Xingwang next to him also relaxed a lot: "Wow, this thing is quite complicated, how did you make it when there were no fresh-keeping bags in the palace before?"

Xu Zhuo said: "It is okay to use a white cloth with wet water, but it is said that it does not look good without plastic wrap." ”

After saying that, he made the red bean puree into two long strips and placed them on top of the kidney bean puree, close to both sides of the kidney bean puree, leaving the middle spot vacant.

Once this step is done, it's time to roll it up.

Xu Zhuo started from the side of the kidney bean paste, folded the kidney bean paste up through the plastic film, and wrapped the red bean paste.

Then carefully remove some of the plastic wrap, put it back, and roll the kidney bean puree forward through the plastic wrap.

Then I changed the other side to do the same, and rolled the red bean puree on the other side with kidney bean puree, which is similar to the telescope made of mud when I was a child.

But that's not all, you have to continue rolling to the middle part until there is only a narrow gap in the middle, then stop, and sprinkle the fried black and white sesame seeds into it.

The main purpose of putting sesame seeds in the kidney bean roll is to increase the flavor and taste, and kidney bean paste and red bean paste are both melt-in-your-mouth ingredients, and it is inevitable that you will get tired after eating too much, so you should add some sesame seeds to enrich the taste.

After adding the sesame seeds, I continued to roll them in the middle, and at this time, the plastic film was also removed little by little.

Wait until the kidney bean puree becomes a long roll shape, then wrap the plastic film and carefully trim the shape of the strip.

For example, straighten the strips, such as making the thickness even, and squeezing the gaps inside to make the kidney bean rolls more porcelain.

These are all means of increasing appearance.

Xu Zhuo carefully trimmed the kidney bean rolls, then removed the plastic film and began to prepare to cut into sections.

There is also a special point when cutting, because kidney bean puree is more sticky, so every time you cut it, you have to wipe the kitchen knife with a wet rag, so that the cut out of the break is more beautiful and beautiful.

"There are still a lot of doorways in this dog's day, and you can't really talk to the palace next to the word, and if you are next to it, it will be no good thing, either troublesome or expensive, and the quality is not very ......"

Guo Xingwang, a native of southern Anhui, had no good impression of this cumbersome palace snack at all, and always felt that it was cumbersome for the sake of cumbersomeness.

Xu Zhuo didn't explain that much, he actually felt quite troublesome.

But isn't it the trouble to eat palace snacks?

Use a kitchen knife to cut off both ends first, then wipe the kitchen knife with a damp rag, and cut the kidney bean rolls into small pieces like small flower rolls at an interval of about five centimeters.

This is quite similar to donkey rolling, but the kidney bean roll is soft and snow-white, with two red circles in the middle and a layer of sesame seeds in the middle, which is taller than donkey rolling.

When Xu Zhuo was cutting, Guo Xingwang, who was eagerly waiting to criticize the palace snacks, impatiently sent the waste cut by Xu Zhuo when he had just trimmed the two ends into his mouth.

And then......

"The people in the palace are really special and will enjoy it, this thing is so delicious, Xu Zhuo, if we want to launch a new one in the store, it will definitely be popular, it's so delicious!"
