"It's useless for us to plan here, if Ma Sen is willing, what if Ma Sen feels tired and doesn't want to do it?" Although I think Sheng Qiwu's opinion is very good, but we also have to take into account the hands-on personnel.

"I dare to guarantee that Ma Sen will definitely be willing, as long as this lotus paste moon cake is not made of egg yolk filling, the steps will be much simpler, you will be divided into a talk to him at that time, Ma Sen will be happy, after all, Ma Sen is also a master who sees money. ”

Sheng Qiwu said very firmly, to talk about it, he is still very good at reading people, and Ma Sen can be said to be seen through by him.

In addition to being a little delicious, this little fat man is very simple to tempt him, and this trick is tried and tested.

"I also roughly estimated today, Ma Sen took a total of six catties of fresh lotus seeds, and seventy salted egg yolks to make 200 mooncakes. Excluding the ten that we were late, the total profit was 1,900 yuan. ”

"According to the price of fresh lotus seeds is 30 yuan per catty, the price of salted duck eggs is 15 yuan a piece, and the cost of lotus seeds and salted duck eggs is 285 yuan. After deducting water, electricity, labor and the like, I think this business can still be done, at least we can earn more than half. ”

"Then we'll ask Ma Sen's opinion tomorrow?" Listening to Sheng Qiwu's calculations, Luo Tong also felt that it was more profitable, and you could not make so much money selling lotus seeds or salted duck eggs alone.

The next day, when Sheng Qiwu went to fetch lotus seeds, he talked to Ma Sen, and Ma Sen immediately agreed. Sheng Qiwu's salary for him is not low, but he also wants to develop a side business, but unfortunately he can't do anything other than make some food.

Now that Sheng Qiwu said this, didn't he just doze off and send a pillow? Ma Sen was busy in the back kitchen after breakfast, perhaps because he was motivated, when Sheng Qiwu looked at him and noodles, the fat on his body was shaken one by one.

Considering that it is only a taste of lotus paste, it seems a bit too monotonous. Masson pondered for a moment, and finally listed black beans, kidney beans, corn, and lotus paste.

Yesterday was in a hurry, and if you do it in large quantities, you will have to buy gluten-free flour.

To make moon cakes, you need invert sugar syrup and soap water, which are not easy to buy in the county, so it is better to buy raw materials directly and make them yourself.

Sugar and water can be boiled with lemon juice to make invert sugar syrup, and the water can be configured with soda ash and potassium alkali, and the production process is not cumbersome, and it is a piece of cake for Masson.

In addition, there are several large pressure cookers, used to press beans, black beans and white kidney beans add some water to boil thoroughly in the pressure cooker, take them out and wrap them in gauze, and put them in a large basin filled with water to scrub them, and what comes out are fine bean paste, and finally only some bean skin is left in the gauze.

The bean skins are not wasted, and Luo Tong plans to grind them into flour, which will be used to feed chickens and ducks in the future, which can save a lot of food.

These beans were all harvested from the village, and Ma Sen went to the village to recruit troops and horses, and found two aunts to help him with chores.

Masson also plans to make some mooncakes with corn filling, corn is sticky, and this can't be the same as bean paste.

Put it in a pressure cooker and cook it until the corn kernels break the skin, and then you can squeeze it with your hands, squeezing out the corn flesh one by one, which is quite laborious.

It is also a loss that the resort center is staffed, and a group of grandparents each carry a small basin, and after a while, they are squeezed and poured together, and the number is also considerable.

While squeezing the cornmeat, someone joked about Masson.

"Little fat man, you make corn-stuffed mooncakes, but we have to give us a share, we can't work in vain. ”

Ma Sen boiled the syrup and didn't look back: "When the finished product comes out, I will give you two mooncakes." ”

The person next to him accosted: "That's not good, it's not too cheap, let alone four." ”

"Hahaha, then I'll have to have five. ”

"Hahaha, as long as it's made by a little fat man, you can buy it for money. ”

There was a lot of laughter in the back kitchen, to say that these grandparents are in good health now, but they are not going back.

When they went back, where did they get so many people to talk and laugh together? When they went back, how could they eat such a delicious meal made by Ma Sen? When they went back, the good things in Qingshui Village were not something they could buy if they wanted to.

After these fillings are fried with various ingredients, they are kneaded into a ball, divided one by one, wrapped with the crust made by Masen, and then pressed on the grinder, because the size of the grinder is fixed, so the amount of filling and skin of the moon cake has to be weighed on the scale.

Usually the ratio of skin to filling is 15:35 grams, and the raw embryo of a moon cake is generally about 50 grams.

The pressed moon cakes can be baked in the oven, adjust the heat and bake them for a few minutes, pull them out and brush the egg yolk liquid one by one, bake them for a few minutes, and then pull them out to brush the egg yolk liquid, and finally the baked moon cakes are rich in color, which makes people very appetizing when they look at it.

Ma Sen was busy in the back kitchen, and Sheng Qiwu was not idle at home. He and Luo Tong also enjoyed the process of the two of them cooperating and making moon cakes together.

The two made a total of more than 100 moon cakes, Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu tasted one, and picked more than 20 others to put aside, and Luo Tong found a small jar to put it up and wait for the moon cakes to return to oil.

Generally, this time takes two to three days, and it is time to give it to relatives and friends after the mooncake is oiled. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed now, no one has said that you can only eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?

In this way, the two of them took the lotus paste mooncakes they made, and went to the orchard first, and gave the Dashan family, the squirrel family, Liu'er, Luo Xiaotang, etc.

Fortunately, none of the animals in the house have glass stomachs, and almost all of them like this lotus paste mooncake.

Saying goodbye to the pets, the two went to the resort center. Before I got to the back kitchen, I smelled the fragrance of mooncakes.

Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu looked at each other, and both of them quickened their pace. The closer he got to the back kitchen, the stronger the fragrance became, and Luo Tong's throat moved, obviously hooked by this fragrance.

When I arrived at the back kitchen, I swept it at a glance, it was so lively! None of the grandparents in the resort center were absent, and Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng were among them.

In the back kitchen, there are four large plates on the counter, each of which is filled with cut mooncakes. The oven was still running, and the aroma was coming from there.

Luo Tong only knew that Sheng Qiwu came to fetch lotus seeds in the morning, but he didn't know what mooncakes Ma Sen was going to make. Now at a glance, it seems to have been done, four kinds?

Masson is still busy, his movements are very fast, and with a pinch and turn of his fingers, the embryo of the mooncake is ready.

The eldest lady who came to help molded and printed the moon cake, and Grandma Sheng sprayed some water on the cake embryo, and several people also formed an assembly line.
