Chapter 59: Commentary
After processing the ingredients, the next step is to prepare for the mung bean cake.
She lit a fire, Han Nianjun also came over to help when she saw this, Shen Yuehua added water to the pot, put the grid for steaming vegetables in the pot, peeled mung beans are mung bean yellow, spread them flat and put them on a plate, and put them on top of the grid to steam.
Because it was firewood, the fire burned so much that the water boiled quickly.
Shen Yuehua took out the plate and crushed it on the mung bean yellow with the spoon that served the rice.
Because of cooking, these mung bean yellows, which were already relatively soft, became more fluffy and could be crushed even with fingers, and after being crushed with a spatula, they were crushed into a puree after a while.
Seeing this, Han Nianjun washed the pot and dried the water droplets inside, Shen Yuehua poured sesame oil into the pot, estimating that the amount of mung bean paste was not light, so she poured a lot of sesame oil into the pot.
When the oil was hot, not too hot, he poured the mung bean puree that was crushed by Han Nianjun into the pot and stir-fried it.
The fire doesn't need to be too hot, and the aroma of mung beans and sesame oil will come out after a little stir-frying.
She poured in white sugar and maltose, and continued to stir-fry, making sure to stir-fry evenly in the pot so that it tastes delicious, on the other hand, it is also to prevent it from sticking to the pan or scorching.
When she finishes frying, she turns off the heat and mixes the mung bean puree into the shape of a dumpling.
Sitting in the pot to dry, she rummaged through the other ingredients and found brown sugar and honey, which could be used as fillings and even dried fruit.
Now that the weather is hot, the fruits that can't be sold will spoil after a long time, but the dried fruits are chopped and added to the mung bean cake, which has a special taste.
After the mung bean puree was slightly cool, she divided the mung bean puree into twenty equal parts, kneaded it into small balls and put it aside, and the prepared brown sugar was poked into a hole in the small dough and stuffed into it.
And so it goes. It doesn't look very good, but there are no special molds at the moment, so let's just let them taste it for the time being.
Shen Yuehua put the mung bean cake on a plate. Her hands are skillful, although she can't make a mung bean cake as delicate as a mold, but she can knead it into various cute shapes.
The yellow mung bean cake makes you appetizing just by looking at it, not to mention the sesame oil and sweet fragrance that are drilling into your nose.
They all worked outside for half a day. I'm a little hungry now.
Han Nianjun said: "Can you eat it now?" ”
Shen Yuehua nodded with a smile and said, "You can eat it, it's made to eat, let's go, go to the living room to eat, and pour a few glasses of water by the way, although this mung bean cake is not tired of eating, it is also easy to get thirsty." ”
Han Nianjun nodded in response, and Sun Anhe's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Shen Yuehua to really do it. And it's decent, although it doesn't look as good as the ones sold on the black market, but the shape is definitely chic and attractive.
He was thick-skinned, and he had seen Shen Yuehua unpleasant before, but for the sake of eating, his face looked better at the moment, and he took the initiative to carry the teapot and a clean cup, and walked out without saying a word.
Han Nianjun looked angry and funny, but Shen Yuehua was a little satisfied in his heart, and said in his heart: As long as you show your real skills. Naturally, those who spoke would have silenced.
The three of them sat on the edge of the dining table in the living room, took a piece of chopsticks and tasted it, Shen Yuehua frowned, and said in her heart: The heat is a little uncertain. After all, firewood is burned, and the temperature is not easy to control.
And the stuffing doesn't taste good, although it is a fine object in this era, but it is not very delicious in Shen Yuehua's era.
Fortunately, the level is not bad, it will not be too greasy or tasteless, and Shen Yuehua can't remember the taste of mung bean cake in this era. He asked the two men and said, "How does it taste?" ”
Sun An said reservedly: "Reluctantly", although he said so, he immediately sandwiched another piece.
And Han Nianjun swallowed it before he said: "I think it tastes very fragrant, the taste is very delicate and I don't feel particularly dry, it tastes very comfortable, it tastes very good, it's good, it's much better than the dry mung bean cake bought on the black market." ”
Shen Yuehua watched them continue to eat, a plate of mung bean cake was left at the end, they were all full and did not move, Shen Yuehua saw this, so he ate it.
She commented: "In fact, this mung bean cake is only pre-processed, aren't we going to open up the high-end market?" You can make this mung bean cake a little more fine. ”
Sun Anhe is the most sensitive to making money, and when he heard this, he also put away his thoughts about looking down on Shen Yuehua before, and hurriedly asked, "How to do it more refined?" ”
Shen Yuehua smiled and said: "For example, when you make it, add some glutinous rice flour and flour to it, the taste will be more delicate than now, and it will not be like now, the mung bean flavor is too mellow, and it will be tiresome if you eat too much, and it can also reduce the cost of making zuò." ”
"Moreover, the operation method of making zuò mung bean cake can be more detailed. For example, this mung bean cake, when making zuò, is not very finely crushed, so it tastes a little rough, and then it is like sifting it through a sieve several times, and it will taste better. ”
"There are also fillings, you can add all kinds of fillings, five kernels, dried fruits, bean paste...... These are fine. ”
"Finally, there is the question of appearance, you can use a few molds at the carpenter in the village, which is more convenient and beautiful, so that the mung bean cake can be sold for money."
She talked eloquently, said a lot, and at first it was also her own plan, wanting to promote and suppress first, so that they could see their strengths.
She looked at the surprised faces of the two men with a light smile, and continued: "Of course, if you want to sell better, the most important thing is the problem of packaging, I originally wanted to use a special trademark, but now it is forbidden to trade privately, in order not to cause trouble, or work the packaging, we are doing business through the guò black market channel, you can't go wrong with caution, get paper or wood zuò packaging, the appearance looks better, and at the same time, it also opens up another use of mung bean cake." ”
"What's the usage? Isn't mung bean cake just for eating? Sun Anhe asked suspiciously.
Shen Yuehua shook her head in denial, and said: "This kind of mung bean cake packaging is beautiful, and it can also be put in a box to give away, it is very common for relatives and friends to send food, as long as we make it look good, even on the packaging, there are things like Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum painted on them, and people with elegant taste in the city will also buy it."
