【019】Making egg tarts
Qin Shi took a breath and was about to stand at the height of the elders to violently refute Zhou Yi's remarks, but was preempted by Zhou Sheng.
"Zhou Yi, what are you talking about, I am the master of Daguan Tea House, where can you get the things in the store, it is yours after all, if I don't give it to you, you can't rob it."
Zhou Yu said helplessly: "Okay, you win, I can show you the account book, but I will never allow anyone's sabotage of Daguan Tea House, no one." ”
Speaking of the back, he was already screaming hysterically, as if this was the only way to clearly declare his attitude.
Zhou Min went to take the account book, Zhou Sheng looked through it, and was immediately shocked, since he took over the Daguan Tea Workshop from his predecessors twenty years ago, until now, the income of so many years adds up, less than half of Zhou Yi's income in more than a month.
"This ...... It's true? ”
Qin Shi glanced at it lightly, and his heart was suddenly pounding.
Zhou Yi said: "This account book has fully explained, my business is much smarter than yours, we are doing business, the purpose of doing business is to make money, as long as you can make money, you might as well be flexible, some things are actually very boring to stick to." ”
Closing the account book, Zhou Sheng sighed and said, "Hey, you're right, as long as you can make Daguan Tea House flourish, you can take it over if you want to." ”
"No, you can't." After Zhou Sheng finished speaking, the Qin family immediately spoke, "Daguan Teahouse is an ancestral property, how can it change hands so easily, besides, we are still young, why don't you let us do things?" ”
Zhou Yi smiled: "Haha, you want to do something?" Okay, anyway, there are still a lot of things in the tea shop that need manpower, so you can go and help me do things, and I'll pay you twice the salary. ”
"Presumptuous, you talk like that?" Qin slapped the table, stood up and said loudly, his face was full of anger, and his green tendons were exposed, which was ugly in Zhou Yi's eyes.
He muttered in his heart: "This daddy's taste is too heavy." ”
Zhou Sheng couldn't help frowning, and whispered to the Qin family: "Why are you having such a big temper?" ”
When the Qin family, who was in an embarrassing situation where no one responded, heard this, it was as if a torch had been thrown into the oil pot, and she was even more excited, her skinny fingers pointed at Zhou Yi, turned her head and said to Zhou Sheng: "What am I doing?" What do you say I'm doing? Didn't you hear what he just said? He actually asked me to work for him, where in the world is there such a thing, who am I? Can you bow down to him? What kind of thing is he? ”
Zhou Sheng finally shouted: "Sit down." ”
Qin Shi gave him a blank look, but he didn't care about him, he still chattered and scolded, Zhou Min couldn't listen to it anymore, and helped Zhou Yi say a few words, and Qin Shi immediately cried and grabbed the ground.
"Oh my lord, why is my life so bitter, I have worked hard to feed you people without conscience, and you still have to say bad things about me, what's the point of living like this, it's better to die......"
Zhou Yi pursed his lips, is it a trick to cry, make trouble, and hang himself? The acting skills are really bad.
Sure enough, whether it was Zhou Yi, Zhou Min, or Zhou Sheng, the three of them sat in their seats without saying a word.
Qin Shi saw that his performance didn't have any effect, this time he was really angry, and he said to Zhou Sheng viciously: "It's all the good sons you taught." ”
Then he walked angrily into the room, and when he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was not enough, so he slammed the door shut and made a loud noise, in order to declare his attitude.
Zhou Yi looked at Zhou Sheng, and his eyes were obviously asking, were you too hungry to marry her at the beginning? And looking at it like this, it's still very thirsty.
Touching his eyes, Zhou Sheng lowered his head in shame.
In the end, it was Zhou Min's wit that once again touched everyone in the audience, she said: "I'll go grocery shopping and cook." ”
Zhou Sheng and Zhou Yi raised their heads at the same time and said in unison: "I want to eat moxibustion duck." ”
Moxibustion duck, also known as roast duck, originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
After Zhou Min left, Zhou Sheng began to ask his son for business lessons with great interest, and it can be seen from this that he is a good person, a good person who is not ashamed to ask. And the lessons of history make Zhou Yi very clear that a good person cannot become a good businessman.
His identity cannot be revealed, Zhou Yi just said that he suddenly dreamed of a God of Wealth a month ago, and the God of Wealth told him countless ways to make a fortune...... said it so bluntly that Zhou Sheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately regarded Zhou Yi as a fortune boy sent by the God of Wealth.
After saying a lot of nonsense without nutrition, Zhou Min had already bought vegetables and came back, and the discussion between the two ended here, Zhou Sheng stood up, patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, and said, "I'm looking forward to the moment when Daguan Tea House is famous all over the world." ”
"Yes, just wait." Zhou Yi said.
So the conversation ended, and everyone was ready to eat.
After eating, Zhou Yi began to get busy. He was going to prepare a brand new food for the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days.
In the courtyard, Zhou Yi put up a large vat, then brought flour, poured it all in, and then poured in a large amount of water, and stirred it vigorously with a wooden stick, and the water became turbid. Then Zhou Yi poured out the white water, leaving the flour slurry at the bottom, and then poured in the water, so that the flour was less than 30% of the original.
Zhou Yi rolled up his sleeves and began to knead the ball of flour, and as the number of kneading increased, the flour gradually became a ball of gluten with a smooth and tough surface.
The finished gluten is spread out on the table, pressed into a large piece with a rolling pin, then folded in half, and then rolled repeatedly, but each time it takes half an hour, so that it does not re-aggregate into a ball after folding, but has a clear layer.
After three repeated crushing, the gluten gradually formed, and at this time, Zhou Yi had to cut the gluten into about the same size and stuff it into a small teacup for later use.
At this time, Zhou Yi took a bunch of eggs he bought, put the egg yolk and egg white in two basins, then the milk and sugar will be stirred evenly, heated until the sugar is completely melted, pour in the egg yolk, stir until the egg yolk is completely loose, add some flour and stir it into a paste, and scoop it into the cup covered with dough little by little with a spoon.
In the era when there were no electric ovens, Zhou Yi remembered the flue-cured tobacco house, although there was no flue-cured tobacco in the Song Dynasty.
He ingeniously divided the stove into two parts, the upper and lower parts, the lower part was a fire pit for the fire, the top was separated by a clay board to lower the temperature, and the cups were placed, and a pot lid was placed on top, and the simple oven was ready.
Zhou Yi is not good at burning fire, so he found Zhou Min, she cooks at home, and she should have a certain level of grasp of the fire.
"Brother, I see that you have been tinkering for more than an hour, and then you called me over to let me make a fire for you?" Zhou Min said with wide eyes.
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Well, you'll know later, if I didn't know how to burn the fire, I wouldn't have called you here, listen, this fire can't be too big, it can't be too small, the temperature should be controlled at, well, in this way, it's a little lower than that of moxibustion duck." Well, I'm optimistic about you. ”
Zhou Min had no choice but to burn the fire according to his requirements, and in the absence of precise temperature control, experience was crucial.
It's just a pot of tea, and the aroma can no longer be concealed, wafting out of the stove, the aroma of milk, the smell of eggs, and the crispy taste of the dough merge together, completing a redefinition of the aroma.
Zhou Minqiang held back the curiosity in his heart and patiently waited for Zhou Yi's command, and Zhou Yi was next to him to discern whether to stop the fire according to the taste, such a simple condition, the method was much more stupid.
"Alright, let's get up." Zhou Yi said.
When the lid was lifted, the rich aroma was mixed with a hint of burnt paste, and the original golden color had turned black. Zhou Yi couldn't help but be disappointed, and his first time making egg tarts ended in failure.
But he was not discouraged, as the so-called failure is the mother of success, he took out all the tarts and was about to throw them away, but after thinking about it, it was the first time he made it, and it didn't hurt to taste the taste.
I took chopsticks and found a place where there was no burnt paste to eat, although the taste also has a little bit of the charm of egg tarts, but there is still no way to compare with the restaurant. Zhou Min also ate a little, but she praised this wonderful taste, after all, she had never eaten anything like this, even if it was burnt, in her mind, this food was flawed.
Not only did she eat it herself, but she also served it to Zhou Sheng and Qin as if she was offering a treasure to taste, as soon as Qin heard that this was made by Zhou Yi, she was quite tough, and said that she wouldn't eat anything, but later saw that Zhou Min and Zhou Sheng were eating with relish, and in the end they still couldn't resist **, and they couldn't extricate themselves from it.
When they were feasting, Zhou Yi was not idle, he began to make the second batch of egg tarts, to say that it was just so coincidental, he had just made the raw materials, and Zhou Min and they had just finished eating.
Dotingly wiping the residue from the corners of Zhou Min's mouth, Zhou Yi asked with a smile, "How does it taste?" ”
Zhou Min nodded: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”
"Delicious, huh? Okay, you go ahead and keep doing it, this time the fire will be a little smaller than the last time, so that it won't burn. ”
Willing to become a prisoner of food, Zhou Min conscientiously became a husband, Zhou Yi looked at her graceful back, and was out of the way.
"If the previous group of fox friends knew that I used such a beautiful girl as someone to call me, I don't know if they would beat me to death......"
Soon, the second baked egg tart came out, and I have to say that Zhou Min is an absolute powerhouse in terms of fire, and this is the second time, Zhou Yi feels as if he is about to succeed.
