Early in the morning, Xu Zhuo woke up from the hotel bed in the sound of rain.

He woke up Yu Keke, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and the two of them began to get dressed and get up together.

After washing, Yu Keke snuggled in Xu Zhuo's arms, yawning and walking towards the hotel's restaurant in a daze.

After eating the free breakfast provided by the hotel, she felt awake: "Is it appropriate for us to go to the pickle garden for dinner at noon?"

Although this girl likes to join in the fun, she always feels impolite to participate in those workers' dinners.

Xu Zhuo smiled: "We are also shareholders of the company, shouldn't we go to have a good time?"

"Yes, I'm a shareholder, so we'll drive there after class at noon. ”

Xu Zhuo drove Yu Keke to the medical school, and after watching the girl run into the teaching building, he turned the car around and went to the forest park.

Last night, when he heard Yao Meixiang say that he was going to make sticky bean buns here, he moved his mind.

Sticky bean buns, this task that is about to expire must not be missed.

Boss Xu proposed to come to the sauce garden to see the process of making sticky bean buns on the grounds of making snacks for the old lady, and Yao Meixiang naturally would not refuse.

In order to prevent Xu Zhuo from seeing the production process, she also specially called the chef and asked about the arrangement that she would start making sticky bean buns at eight o'clock this morning.

So Xu Zhuo didn't dare to sleep lazy today, and drove over early.

It rained for several days, and the forest park was full of fallen leaves, and there was no one everywhere in sight, so the environment looked a little panicked.

People unconsciously think of those scenes in horror movies.

But when the car turned to the gate of the pickle garden, it was a different scene.

I don't know when a carport was built at the door, and there were one or twenty electric cars parked in it, and there were a few cars next to the carport.

The employees here come to work early enough.

Xu Zhuo parked the car next to the cars, then held an umbrella and walked into the pickle garden.

The yard of the pickle garden seems to have enlarged a bit, and the yard is full of neatly arranged pickle jars and pickle jars.

In the depths of the yard, there is a row of simple tin houses, it should be that there are not enough houses, so Yao Meixiang first temporarily built more than a dozen temporary rooms to make do with them.

The rain dripped on the tin room, making a ticking sound, muffling the sound of speech coming from the air-raid shelter.

Xu Zhuo had just walked to the middle of the courtyard with an umbrella, when Hu Dabao suddenly walked out of it with two banners.

"Lao Li, let the kitchen make some paste, this thing can't be taped...... Yo, Xu Zhuo is here, do you want to see it as a sticky bean bag? Let's go, I'll take you to the kitchen. ”

After speaking, he folded the banner in his hand a few times and handed it to one of the workers inside, and without opening the umbrella, he braved the rain and led Xu Zhuo to the depths of the yard.

"Isn't it a dinner? Why are you still hanging banners?"

"Hey, isn't this what everyone wants to surprise Mr. Yao, the pickle garden has been established for a year, everyone has a stable job, and their income has increased a lot.

So after the workers discussed, they decided to come over and arrange it in advance, you have to keep it secret, you can't tell Mr. Yao, so as not to spoil it. ”

Xu Zhuo smiled and nodded, this pickle garden was taken care of by Yao Meixiang vigorously, it was really unexpected.

Thinking about it seriously, my two mothers are quite good at business, but my mother-in-law is like a girl who doesn't grow up all day long.

Ahem, it seems a little rude to talk about elders like that......

Hu Dabao seems to be doing well now, wearing fashionable clothes and a Geely car key hanging from his waist.

Although the car is not expensive, compared to the electric car I rode before, it can really be said that it is a shotgun change.

Now that his life has been rushed, he has become a lot more confident and cheerful.

"This is our kitchen, Master Sun, what kind of sticky bean buns can you make. ”

In the kitchen sat a man in his fifties, smoking a pipe and scrolling through Tik Tok.

Seeing Xu Zhuo come in, he asked in fluent Northeast dialect: "You want to learn our Northeast sticky bean buns, right?" Then you can be regarded as finding the right silver, I make sticky bean buns, and we can count them in ten miles and eight towns......

Hu Dabao laughed: "Don't brag, hurry up and do it, and call the two female workers to come over and give you a hand later, don't go wrong at lunch." ”

Sticky bean buns are a very common delicacy in Northeast China, which originated from the Manchu people and is a model of coarse grains.

In the early years of the Northeast region, every winter season, every household would steam sticky bean buns, and the steamed bean buns would be frozen in the yard after cooling, and they could be eaten for a winter.

There are many ways to eat sticky bean buns.

Generally, it is eaten with white sugar and dipped in it, and the fragrant, sweet and sticky texture and taste make many Northeast people haunted by their dreams.

In addition, the hot sticky bean buns are made into small round cakes and fried in oil, which has a sweet and crispy taste, which is different from eating it with sugar.

In the past, children were willing to nibble on frozen bean buns in winter, not only to exercise their teeth, but also to have the feeling of eating popsicles.

To make it a little more complicated, you can also roll it on the fried soybean noodles to eat, adding a mushy bean flavor, which is another version of donkey rolling.

While the chef was busy, he chattered to Xu Zhuo about the Northeast sticky bean buns.

The most important thing to make sticky bean buns is to turn yellow rice noodles and make bean paste filling.

Yellow rice noodles have been touched by Xu Zhuo, and this is what it is to do donkey rolling.

However, the yellow rice flour used for sticky bean buns has to be mixed with cornmeal, and the more cornmeal, the harder the texture of sticky bean buns and the smaller the viscosity.

On the contrary, the viscosity is greater and the taste is softer.

As for the bean paste filling, it is made of Northeast red beans after boiling with sugar, and then grasping it into a ball after cooling.

Then knead the fermented yellow rice noodles, divide them into dough larger than the bean paste filling, wrap the bean paste filling and steam it in the pot.

After steaming, it is the sticky bean bun that everyone loves to eat in the Northeast.

Master Sun babbled about the history of sticky bean buns to Xu Zhuo, and brought out the yellow rice noodles he sent yesterday.

The noodles are ready to be steamed at any time.

The bean paste filling was also cooked yesterday, and now it is completely cool.

Chef Sun first held the bean paste into a ball, and then began to prepare the kneaded yellow rice noodles.

The fermented yellow rice flour is sticky, and in order to prevent sticking when kneading, Master Sun deliberately sprinkled some cornmeal.

Roll out the kneaded yellow rice noodles into a cake, put a red bean paste filling on the cake, and then wrap it up and knead it into a circle, and the sticky bean bun is ready.

When the finished sticky bean buns were put aside for later use, almost enough for a cage of drawers, Master Sun took out a few frozen corn from the refrigerator.

Peel off the tender green bracts of the corn and place them on the cage drawer, and then put the sticky bean buns on top one by one.

After Xu Zhuo looked at it for a while, he washed his hands and started to do it.

"Yo, that's it? I haven't explained it to you yet. ”

Xu Hangqiang smiled indifferently, everything was silent.
