Chapter 480: Lotus Seed Mooncake
Masson had already pureed the lotus seeds, and he couldn't spare his hands to handle the separated salted egg yolk.
At this time, Sheng Qiwu was also busy, and asked Ma Sen what to do next, Sheng Qiwu rolled up his sleeves and came over to take over Luo Tong's work.
To get rid of the fishy smell of salted egg yolks, you can soak them in oil for one to two hours, or you can spray some cooking wine on the surface of the egg yolks. Today, in a hurry to see the finished product, Masson decided to spill some cooking wine.
Place the salted egg yolks in the oven at 180 degrees for eight to ten minutes.
Then it's time to make the dough, pour soap water and invert sugar syrup into the basin, then pour in peanut oil, mix evenly and sift in a mixture of low powder and milk powder.
Mix evenly and put in plastic wrap and relax at room temperature for 1-2 hours. The lotus seed puree on Massen's side has also been made, and all that remains is to fry the lotus paste.
After heating the oil in the pan, add salt and caster sugar, stir-fry for a while, and wait for the caster sugar to change color. Pour the beaten lotus seed puree into an iron pot, heat it over medium heat, and stir-fry evenly.
Wait for the lotus seed puree to mix evenly with oil and sugar, then add sugar, add corn oil in stages, and then add the next oil after the lotus seed puree completely absorbs the oil each time.
After the lotus paste is fried, serve it out and set aside, and it is time to make mooncakes.
Egg yolk lotus paste mooncake is to wrap the egg yolk in the lotus paste, and then wrap the lotus paste in the pie crust.
The three of them worked together to wrap up 200 mooncakes. Several people were busy with this moon cake all afternoon, and the results were gratifying.
Looking at the pile of moon cakes, Luo Tong's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. This is really pure natural and additive-free, the lotus seeds are from their own lotus pond, and the salted eggs are from the farm.
The flour is bought in the village, everything is pure and natural, and the taste is quite good.
The newly baked lotus paste mooncakes received unanimous praise from everyone, and when it was time for dinner in the evening, the 200 mooncakes were directly divided by the grandparents at the resort center. Luo Tong, who had a slow hand, tasted one when he went out in the afternoon, and there was nothing left of the other one.
These grandparents are too ferocious, in order to order moon cakes, they used all the martial arts of the eighteenth class, just to do as much as possible to their own family.
If you want to say that these grandparents who have come to recuperate, the recuperation place is almost over, and they should go back. But these people are not leaving here, not because there are many good things here in Qingshui Village, usually there are good things here in Luotong, they try their best to pull them home.
Sheng Qiwu comforted him: "It's okay, I'm already familiar with it, tomorrow we will do it ourselves at home, and when the time comes, we will do more and send it to my parents." ’
He knew that Luo Tong was not unhappy because he was not late for this moon cake, but that she had planned to do so, where did Luo's father and Luo's mother send a little, Sheng Mama sent some, and her friends shared some more, who knew that the plan was not as good as change, none of these people left her behind.
Even these people know how to measure, and they don't take these moon cakes in vain. Sheng Qiwu went out for a trip, and when he came back, he had a lot of tickets in his hand.
"How much did you sell for one?" Luo Tong took a general look, not to mention that he had come out before.
"Ten dollars a piece, no two prices. ”
Luo Tong was surprised: "Wouldn't ten yuan be too expensive?" I think the most expensive one on Taobao is only more than five yuan, and those elders have no opinion?"
"You're thinking too much, and I think it's cheaper. If our moon cakes are made into gift boxes, when the time comes, there will be eight in a box, and I want to sell more than 300 in a gift box, but unfortunately it is now past the season of selling moon cakes. ”
Luo Tong was stunned for a moment, and spit out a sentence for a while: "Profiteer!"
Sheng Qiwu was dissatisfied: "Am I called a profiteer? Tongtong, you haven't understood yet, as long as it is from Qingshui Village, it is basically not as bad as it is." Its reputation is already there, and the pricing of this mooncake is not high at all. ”
Luo Tong gave up reasoning with him, anyway, she couldn't talk about Sheng Qiwu.
"So let's make this lotus paste mooncake at home tomorrow? Let's make more, I want to give it to friends and customers to try together." ”
"Okay, it's up to you. As for the resort center, if the grandparents still want this lotus paste mooncake, let Ma Sen make it himself, and when the time comes, he will be able to draw the cake, and he can't let others work in vain. ”
Sheng Qiwu pushed Ma Sen out in bad spirits, but he didn't think he was doing a bad thing. He's helping Ma Sen find something to do, haven't you seen that Ya's body shape has begun to develop horizontally again in the past few days?
"It's okay, you sell a lotus paste mooncake for ten yuan, and Ma Sen has to give at least 2 yuan, after all, this is a more cumbersome matter. Luo Tong pondered, "What do you say we should do with this lotus seed?"
"Actually, I don't recommend selling them," Sheng Qiwu thought for a while, "I've seen it, the quality of these lotus seeds is very good, but in this way, the price is more difficult to determine." ”
"Why is it difficult to determine the price when the quality is good?"
"Now these peeled and cored lotus seeds on the market are usually priced at 30 yuan a catty. In my opinion, it would be too cheap if we also set 30 pounds. But if the price is too high, maybe not many people will buy it, right?"
This is Sheng Qiwu's concern, "Besides, we don't lack this money to sell lotus seeds, it's better for us to digest them ourselves, we can also dry these lotus seeds and store them, and turn them out when we want to eat them." ”
Luo Tong felt that Sheng Qiwu made a lot of sense, "But there are too many lotus seeds, how long do we have to eat them?"
Don't look at a lotus pod, there are more than a dozen lotus seeds on a lotus pod, but you can't stand the lotus pods in this lotus pond. The yield of lotus seeds per mu is about 400 catties, so Luo Tong can harvest nearly 4 tons of lotus seeds alone.
As soon as this number came out, Luo Tong was stunned. Of course, these 4 tons are also a little watery, after all, these lotus seeds are still shelled, and when these lotus seeds are all shelled, cored, and dried, it is estimated that it is about half.
Even so, you can harvest about 2 tons of dried lotus seeds, what do you want to eat at home?
Sheng Qiwu smiled: "What's the worry about this? The elders and relatives and friends will send some, leave the amount of food at home, and let Ma Sen make lotus paste mooncakes, and then they will be sold on the Internet." ”
"You set such a high price, will anyone buy it then?"
Luo Tong muttered, and Sheng Qiwu heard it sharply.
"Actually, the price is okay, but this time let Ma Sen stop making egg yolks and make pure lotus paste directly, which is labor-saving and worry-free. This pure lotus seed paste is currently set at 8 yuan a piece, if no one really buys it, we will consider the price reduction. ”
