Chapter 145: Gold and Silver Steamed Buns
In the evening, the cook came to report that the noodles had been made, and Huiya saw that there was still time to steam the steamed buns, so she changed her clothes, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen again.
After putting the fluffy and soft dough on the cutting board and sprinkling it with floating powder, Huiya began to make the dough. Don't look at Hui Ya's age of only twelve years old now, and her physical strength is not as good as that of an adult cook, she kneades a large ball of noodles, but she doesn't have a problem at all.
Seeing the snow-white dough constantly changing shapes under Huiya's hands, the maid and the cook next to her felt that the second lady was capable, not only could the housekeeper embroider, but also the cooking skills were so good.
Huiya didn't know what the people next to her were thinking, she neatly kneaded the dough and split half of the dough out. Sprinkle a lot of floating powder on the table, and then use a thick rolling pin to roll out the round dough into a rectangular sheet.
"Second Miss, aren't you going to make steamed buns?" The cook next to her looked at Huiya's movements, a little confused, shouldn't you just knead the dough into long strips and then knead it round? Why are you still rolling out the dough sheets?
"I just want to make steamed buns." Hui Ya said with a smile, but did not explain to the cook, and quickly rolled all the two halves of the dough sheet into a roll less than an inch square.
Someone took out a cleaned kitchen knife, and Hui Ya took the knife and cut the roll into small pieces of more than half an inch. Seeing that the regular rectangular steamed bun blanks were cut out under Huiya's knife, the people watching next to them suddenly realized that this was indeed making steamed buns, but this steamed bun was square, not an ordinary round.
Hui Ya's movements were fast, but in the blink of an eye, all the dough that had been kneaded just now had been cut. This kung fu is a skill that Hui Ya learned when she was in charge of cooking as an apprentice in the tea shop, and she can do everything faster and neater, so that she can save more time and do more useful things.
"Come, put these steamed buns in the basket and steam them." Huiya instructed the cook to bring the big cage drawer used for steaming steamed buns on weekdays. In the three-foot square cage drawer, there are a lot of steamed buns, Huiya took the maids to put all the steamed buns in the cage drawer, put them on the cauldron, and the fire began to burn there.
The steamed bun was steamed, and Hui Ya didn't leave immediately, but asked the people in the kitchen to scoop a small pot of milk, add a few large spoons of white sugar to it, put it on the stove, and boil it carefully. Mrs. Lian told Huiya that the milk boiled out in this way has become thick and sweet, and it has a very vivid name, called condensed milk.
The spoon stirred gently in the small pot, and the kitchen was filled with the faint sweet smell of milk, and Huiya looked at the milky milk in the small pot, which gradually began to bubble and become thick, and her mood seemed to become soft and sweet.
At this moment, all Huiya thought about was the feeling of happiness when her father and brother ate the food, forgetting the bitterness and hatred, and only the warmth and sweetness of her heart.
By the time the condensed milk was almost boiled, the steamed buns over there had already been steamed. The steaming steamed buns are fluffy and white, but it is not good to open the steamer directly and take it out, so it is good to continue to put it in the steamer and simmer for a while, so that the steamed bread can slowly cool down and set, so that it will not be delicious if it retracts quickly after encountering cold air.
Huiya saw that the steamed buns were almost steamed, so she cleaned her hands and put down her sleeves, and instructed the cook to fry two plates of steamed buns after the steamed buns came out of the cage, and then put the condensed milk she had just boiled in a small dipping dish and put them on the plate, and Huiya went back to her mother.
"Mother...... I'm back! When Huiya entered her mother's house, Huishan was talking with her mother, Huishan, who was wearing a moon-white robe, spoke softly with a smile on her face, and looked very gentle and polite.
"Brother, I'm back from the school!" Hui Ya took two steps to the two of them, and greeted Hui Sun with a smile.
"Well, Ya'er is here!" Hye-sun looked at Hye-a-ah's muslin clothes instead of the soft satin she was used to, and was slightly stunned, "What are you doing today?" ”
"In the morning, I went out shopping with my aunt and my third aunt, and I was making snacks in the kitchen just now." Huiya saw that her brother cared about her so much, her heart was sweet, and she said with a smile on her little face.
"The dim sum made by Ya'er is delicious, just don't tire yourself out, you're still young." Hye-sun looked at her sister with her little face up, her big eyes flickering brightly, and her heart was tight, she reached out and touched her little head, and laughed.
"En, my brother will taste it later, it will definitely be delicious!" Huiya nodded with a smile, enjoying her brother's love very much.
After a while, Second Master Zhao went down, washed his face and re-tied his hair, and changed into home clothes, and then sat next to his wife and children.
"What do you say, so happy?" Second Master Zhao is not a serious father, especially Huiya, a child who has been living abroad for a year and has suffered so much, Second Master Zhao can't be even more serious towards her.
"Keep it secret, Daddy will find out later!" Hui Ya flashed her big eyes and made a gesture to Hui Shan, indicating that she wanted to keep a secret together, this lively and cute little look looked in the eyes of Zhao Erye and his wife, and she was very pleased.
"Master, look, this is what Ya'er brought back to me when she went out to buy something today, our Ya'er has grown up!" Second Mrs. Zhao took the opportunity to fight for Huiya, and her face smiled as if a flower had bloomed.
"Okay, our girl is sensible!" Second Master Zhao listened to what his wife said, he was very pleased, and stretched out his hand to hold Hui Ya in his arms, "Come, tell Daddy, what reward do we Ya'er want?" ”
"Ya'er doesn't want anything, as long as her father, mother, and brother, it's fine." Huiya's little face was red, and she was embarrassed to be praised, but the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
Such a warm and cheerful atmosphere lasted until the time of dinner, and a plate of gold and silver steamed buns that had never been seen before at dinner immediately attracted the attention of the whole family.
The golden fried steamed buns, the shell is crispy and the inside is soft, the snow-white steamed steamed buns are fragrant and soft and chewy, with sweet condensed milk, the whole two plates have gone down, and the four people on the table are still a little unsatisfied, obviously they love this gold and silver steamed bun very much.
"Our Ya'er's gold and silver steamed buns are really delicious, Ya'er is really capable!" Second Master Zhao wiped his mouth and looked at Hui Ya's eyes full of pride.
"That's it!" Huiya raised her head, and her heart was sweet when she was praised.
For dinner that day, all the courtyards in Zhao's mansion also received Huiya's gold and silver steamed buns, whether they were the elderly, adults or children, they all loved this crispy or soft steamed buns, and the Zhao family had a new round of understanding of Huiya's cooking skills.
Especially Save, he even puffed out his small mouth and ate most of the plate, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhao San afraid that he would eat enough and refused to give it to him, I am afraid that a whole plate of steamed buns would fall into his small stomach. (To be continued.) )
