Chapter 297: Crescent Cake [Asking for a Monthly Pass]

In fact, there are many kinds of dough cakes with mutton in the water basin, and they are different in Shaanxi.

Some use white bread, some use baked cakes, and some use lotus leaf cakes or scallion pancakes, but the most popular, or the most popular, is the crescent cake.

The so-called crescent cake is a cake that is divided into two oval cakes, because it is shaped like a crescent moon, hence the name crescent cake.

Because the crescent cake is a complete dough cake, the crescent cakes in the early years were sold in pairs, and the saying that mutton in a basin is "eaten in one pot" also comes from this.

During the crescent moon cake process, grease is placed in the middle, and it is easy to open the cake and turn it into a pocket shape.

The lamb in the basin that has just been served is relatively hot, so the anxious customers use chopsticks to take out the mutton, sandwich it in the crescent moon cake, and put some spicy seeds or diced green peppers made by the store.

Meimei took a big bite, the cake was crispy and the meat was rotten, not to mention more enjoyable.

After eating the crescent cake, the stomach has been bottomed, and I am no longer hungry and flustered, at this time, I will break the remaining crescent moon into small pieces leisurely and soak it into the mutton soup, pour a spoonful of oil and spicy seeds, and stir it gently.

Then sit leisurely in the mutton shop in the water basin, drink a sip of soup, chew a bite of meat, and take a bite of cake.

Meidi is very!

However, now, more and more shops no longer sell crescent cakes, but instead roast cakes or white rice buns.

Xu Zhuo thinks that it may have something to do with the cumbersome method of crescent cakes, don't look at the crescent cakes and baked cakes, they are all dough cakes, but the methods are different, and the crescent cakes are much more difficult than the baked cakes.

To make a crescent moon cake, you have to make the dough first, then divide the dough into two halves and knead it separately, one of the dough needs to be kneaded with oil, and finally the dough must be put in a pan to dry.

Fortunately, Xu Zhuo has the skills of mixing and kneading dough, and he will not be stumped by the difficulty of making crescent moon cakes.

After Boss Xu reconciled the dough, put it in a basin and cover it with plastic wrap, put it aside to rise, and then beat off the foam and grease in the mutton pot and turn off the fire.

Only by simmering over low heat will the pot remain in a clear state all the time.

After finishing all this, Xu Zhuo began to prepare the dishes for the evening, and he couldn't forget the essential work because of the experiment, opening a store was the most important thing.

When he was busy with work, Xu Zhuo had been secretly observing the founding of the country.

After he found that Jianguo was rejected, instead of being frustrated, he was high-spirited and energetic, and after he was busy with the work in the kitchen, he actually went to help a few dishwashing aunts disinfect the dishes.

Is this what it should be like after being rejected?

I remember that Meng Liwei was rejected by a girl when he was in college, and he slept in the dormitory with his head covered for two days before he recovered, and he cried several times.

Even if Xu Zhuo invited him to eat hot pot, he didn't respond, and the whole person was depressed, and Xu Zhuo was very sympathetic to it, and he felt very funny.

Is it because the game is not fun, or is the movie not good? Why should you find a girlfriend?

Not only Meng Liwei, but also several programmers have had almost the same experience, every time they are rejected or dumped, they will denounce it, what material girls can't want, what water-based poplars and the like.

Then he vowed never to fall in love again, and in the future, he would play games with Xu Zhuo and enjoy a wanton life in the game.

Xu Zhuo actually likes them to be broken up or rejected, because in this way, they will have money for food, and they don't need Boss Xu to help them anymore.

But when a few people come to their senses, they will change their goals, and once again follow behind people's butts with their faces on their faces, and all their previous vows have been forgotten.

The Tsui Charity Relief Center will reopen.

From graduating from college to the present, Xu Zhuo has seen people who seem to be in this situation.

As long as you are rejected, you will be discouraged, either use alcohol to kill your sorrows, or indulge in games, or get by, anyway, you will always be decadent for a while.

It was the first time he had seen a person like Jianguo, who was rejected like a chicken blood.

What's going on? The more frustrated you are, the more courageous you are?

But the more frustrated and courageous people are, they often continue to confess cheekily after being rejected, rather than working as hard as Jianguo.

Looking at Jianguo's busy figure that couldn't stop, Xu Zhuo looked at the leisurely cooks, and wondered if he would let a few of them chase Zhou Wen, and then let Zhou Wen refuse fiercely.

In this way, the whole store is as busy as if it were clockwork, and the efficiency will definitely be greatly improved, and no matter how many customers come, they will not be scared.

But just thinking about it, he didn't dare to come nonsense.

Besides, the abnormal situation of the founding of the country is very strange, we have to observe and observe first, and I don't know if his abnormality will be the norm in the future, or just today.

Don't really get stimulated.

Boss Xu wanted to talk to Jianguo, but seeing him like this, he was worried that talking to him about the rejection would arouse Mr. Charles's sadness.

Since he is still so diligent, let him be left to exercise.

After the mutton was stewed for an hour, Xu Zhuo put down his work and began to add salt to the pot.

You can't put salt in advance when boiling lamb, because salt will make the lamb old and the taste woody.

From a scientific point of view, salt is a strong electrolyte, and the addition of salt to the soup greatly increases the osmotic pressure of the soup.

The cell membrane of the animal is a semi-permeable membrane, and when the osmotic pressure in the soup is high, the water in the cells will migrate out, and the water content will be low, and the meat will appear "old".

If salt is not added, the proteins on the cell membrane will be denatured after the meat is cooked, and the cell membrane will lose its semi-permeable membrane properties, and the osmotic pressure in the soup will not affect it much.

Therefore, if you want to add salt to boiled mutton, you must wait until the mutton is thoroughly cooked.

Xu Zhuo added some salt to the pot, not too much, as long as there is a salty taste in the soup, this is mainly to add a little bit of flavor to the mutton soup and mutton.

After adding salt, cover the pot and continue to simmer.

At this time, the dough was almost open, Xu Zhuo dug out the proofed dough from the basin, kneaded it on the cutting board into a dough, and then used a knife to cut the dough in half from the middle.

Put half of it in the basin and continue to rise, and put the other half into the basin, add a large spoonful of lard, and then start rubbing it repeatedly.

In the beginning, the dough and the solid lard were not kneaded together at all.

However, as I kneaded and kneaded, the solidified lard gradually melted, and the whole dough was oily.

Xu Zhuo continued to knead the dough, and soon, the lard on the surface of the dough gradually disappeared, and all of it penetrated into the dough.

After kneading, Xu Zhuo put the dough stained with lard in a basin to rise, and began to knead another dough, this does not need to add lard, just knead the dough smooth like making steamed buns.

Then, it comes to the most important step in making crescent cakes - making cake blanks.
