Unknowingly, he accumulated three Shanxi dishes, which made Xu Zhuo a little happy, Feng Weiguo didn't find himself to cook again, maybe he would learn all Shanxi dishes.

When the time comes, don't blame me, a junior, for pretending to be unsympathetic.

Four days after Feng Weiguo's apprenticeship banquet, Xu Zhuo didn't have time to find Feng Weiguo to hint that he was cooking Shanxi cuisine, but the other party came first.

"Xiao Zhuo, do you remember the Wenxi Cook Cake I told you last time? Do you want to learn it? If you want to learn, I can teach you. ”

Two days ago, Guo Xingwang followed Guo Shuying back to his hometown for the Qingming Festival, and accompanied his family by the way, which made Feng Weiguo, who had just accepted an apprentice and was ready to systematically teach him Shanxi cuisine, a little at a loss.

After saving up the enthusiasm for teaching for so many days, he finally had the opportunity to practice, but the students ran away, and Feng Weiguo had no choice but to focus on Xu Zhuo again.

Well, it's better to get over the addiction of teaching first, and maintain the feeling of being a master.

Save a few days Guo Xingwang came back, and he had lost his enthusiasm for taking apprentices.

It happened that I told Xu Zhuo about Wen Xi cooking cakes last time, and I dug a hole at that time, and today I took this opportunity to make it.

Maybe it will add another dish to the dim sum department of Sifang Restaurant.

Feng Weiguo took the initiative so much, Xu Zhuo was naturally overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Grandpa Feng came just in time, and I was about to ask you for advice."

There are more than 20 days to May Day, and the online store is going to hold a promotional campaign, and by the way, a new snack will be launched, which Wenxi cooks cakes just in line with the requirements of the store. ”

Xu Zhuo's attitude made Feng Weiguo very satisfied, and he said slowly: "It's really a coincidence, it's okay to be idle today anyway, then I'll teach you how to cook cakes." ”

Wenxi boiled cake is a special food of Wenxi County, Shanxi, it is said to have originated in the late Ming Dynasty, some people say that when Xiqi was warned, the military food used by Wentai when he went out to fight, it was this Wenxi boiled cake.

Of course, this is a baseless rumor, not to mention whether there is such a person as Wen Taishi in history, and even if there is, it is impossible for people to use fried dim sum as military rations.

You must know that in ancient times, sugar was a luxury.

Not to mention using it in military rations, even ordinary people can't eat it once or twice a year.

And in that slave society, it's hard to say whether there was fried food or not, so it's nonsense at all.

But there are two more unfounded legends about the dessert of Wenxi boiled cakes.

The first legend is that Qianlong's southern tour passed through Wenxi County, and the local officials offered Wenxi Boiled Cakes, Qianlong Longyan was happy, and he personally gave the name Wenxi Boiled Cakes.

The person who compiled this legend will most likely fail the geography.

Although Qianlong has toured the south many times, no matter how he detours, he can't get around Shanxi, let alone name a dim sum.

Only people in Jinnan call frying boiled, for example, fried fritters are called boiled fritters, and fried fritters are also called boiled cakes.

Qianlong is not from Jinnan, how could he name a fried dessert as boiled cake?

Another legend is the old Internet celebrity in the food industry, the Empress Dowager Cixi.

It is said that when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cixi fled westward, and when she arrived in Wenxi County, she was hungry and thirsty.

This legend is relatively true, because when Cixi fled west, she passed by Wenxi County.

However, Cixi also suffered a little at the beginning of her westward escape, and after arriving in Datong, her life improved, and she also ordered officials from all over the country to greet her.

Although he was not rich in life, he was not hungry to the point of hunger and thirst.

However, Wenxi Boiled Cake is indeed very famous, and Xu Zhuo has done research on this dessert, so he knows it very well.

After Feng Weiguo gave a brief introduction to the history of Wenxi's cooking cakes, he began to talk about the ingredients to be used.

Cooked flour, white sugar, white sugar, maltose, brown sugar, honey, cooked sesame seeds, baking soda, edible oil, sesame oil, dried osmanthus ......

There are a lot of ingredients to be used, but if you categorize them a little, it will become much clearer.

There are three types of fillings, skins and slurries.

There is one ingredient used in the skin and filling, which is cooked flour.

The so-called cooked flour is flour made by steaming flour in a steamer.

Compared with raw flour, this kind of flour will not have the taste of raw flour, will not clump when exposed to water, and has a loose and soft taste, which will be used in many desserts.

The method is very simple, Feng Weiguo put a fine cage cloth in the steaming tray, poured in dry flour and flattened it, and pierced some holes in it with his fingers, so that it can facilitate the hot air to enter.

Next, put the steaming tray into the steamer and steam it to make it.

In general, raw flour can be steamed in about 15 minutes.

However, there was a lot of flour today, and it was quite thick in the tray, and Feng Weiguo steamed for half an hour before bringing the flour out of the steaming cabinet.

The flour is cooled first, and the water vapor is soaked and scooped out.

Then rub the clumps that appear in the flour due to steaming, and sift through a fine mesh to sift out all the particles.

After doing this step, in fact, Wenxi has already made a small half of the dessert of cooking cakes.

Because the next steps are relatively simple, even if Xu Zhuo has no skills, he can do it smoothly.

This step is: and noodles.

Feng Weiguo said as he poured two-thirds of the cooked flour into the basin.

Then according to the proportion, add brown sugar, cooking oil, maltose, and baking soda in turn, and mix these ingredients with water to form a dough with moderate firmness and softness.

After this and it comes out, it is time to make the dough for cooking cakes.

While doing it, Feng Weiguo wanted to pretend to be forced, he looked at Xu Zhuo triumphantly and asked, "Xiao Zhuo, do you know what to do next?"

Xu Zhuo smiled slightly, Grandpa Feng finally couldn't help but start pretending?

Pity......

I will.

He said to Feng Weiguo: "You should make the stuffing next, right?"

Feng Weiguo glanced at him unexpectedly, he didn't expect Xu Zhuo to guess it, but thinking that there is a practice on the Internet, this kid should have secretly checked it.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and asked, "Then do you know how to make the filling?"

Hmph, I don't think so.

As a result, Xu Zhuo said slowly: "I know." ”

Know...... Well?

Feng Weiguo frowned, is it so difficult to pretend to be a force in front of young people?

He put his hands behind his back and said, "Since you can, then you can try it, say okay first, I won't give any hints." ”

Xu Zhuo was naturally not stunned, he brought a clean empty basin, poured the remaining cooked flour into it, put in the white sugar and dried osmanthus and mixed well.

Then use the honey to melt the honey in warm water to make honey water, and then use the honey water to mix the cooked flour in the basin into a dough with moderate hardness and softness.

After doing this step, Xu Zhuo looked at the stunned Feng Weiguo and asked, "Grandpa Feng, what do you think?"

Feng Weiguo opened his mouth, he thought it was very good.

But naturally I won't say this, after all, I finally had an opportunity to pretend to be forced, so I couldn't miss it.

He thought about it, Xu Zhuo would do this, he should have asked Brother Xu or Yu Peiyong for advice, after all, those two old men can do anything, and it will definitely be difficult to cook cakes together.

However, being able to make Wenxi Cooking Cakes does not mean that you understand the inner relationship in these steps.

Feng Weiguo stabilized his mind and asked Xu Zhuo a new question again.

"Xiao Zhuo, why do you say you want to make the leather first and then the filling, is there anything special about this?"
