Of course, in previous years, the kitchen of the War King's Mansion was already in full swing making moon cakes at this time, but this year, whether it was the cooks in the kitchen, or the mother-in-law and maids who could make moon cakes, they were all staring at Xiao Qiqi here, waiting for Xiao Qiqi to make what kind of moon cakes, and they followed to learn what kind of moon cakes to make.
Not to mention, Xiao Qiqiyi made a move, and he really didn't disappoint them.
In previous years, those big moon cakes, Xiao Qiqi this year have all changed to delicate small moon cakes, and increased the variety, whether it is the origin, taste, or from the moon cake filling, moon cake crust, moon cake patterns, this year's moon cakes are varied, the taste is diverse, and the origin can almost be said, all of which are included.
At the beginning, she made a sample of the mooncakes that she used to make in the house in the past, according to her redesigned style, and let the people in the kitchen use them as a reference.
For these commonly made moon cakes, the steps are the same, the difference is only the final pattern, taste and filling are different. In previous years, in addition to the taste of moon cakes is sweet, that is, salty, this year there is also spicy, and the filling is also from five kernels, bean paste, rock sugar, sesame, egg yolk, pepper and salt, which are common, adding fruit and vegetable flavors, various flavors, including cantaloupe, pineapple, lychee, strawberry, winter melon, taro, black plum, orange, etc., and with juice or fruit pulp, so it is more fresh and sweet.
"Have you seen the mooncake filling of the fruit and vegetable series clearly? If you haven't seen it clearly and are not sure, you can bring it up. Xiao Qiqi pointed to the row of various fruit and vegetable mooncake fillings she had made on the countertop, and asked everyone in the kitchen in the house.
Those cooks who are used to making pastries are originally good at their skills, and in previous years, they also made the moon cakes in the house for their masters, and they were praised by the masters, so these people only saw Xiao Qiqi personally make a sample, and they naturally followed it with a look and effortlessness.
"Princess, we have seen it clearly, and we have all written it down."
"Very good, what about Su Yue, do you think you are sure?" Xiao Qiqi turned to Shen Suyue's direction and asked.
"Master, it's no problem, Su Yue has also written it down, when the master did it just now, the apprentice also did some, Master looked, is it feasible?" Shen Suyue is not like the cook in the house, without Xiao Qiqi opening her mouth, they don't dare to do it without permission, but she can do whatever she does with her master Xiao Qiqi, so she can learn step by step, how can she not do well with her talent.
When Xiao Qiqi saw it, he nodded with satisfaction. "Well, well done, you've passed, and you can continue to do it as you do."
"Yes, Master."
"Okay, the moon cake filling of the above fruit and vegetable series, I will tell you here, and then I will make other moon cake fillings, I want you to make seafood moon cakes, the so-called sea moon cakes are slightly salty and fresh in taste, mainly sweet, among which the more famous ones are abalone moon cakes, shark fin moon cakes, seaweed moon cakes, and ray pillar moon cakes, how to make these four kinds of moon cake fillings, you also follow me to learn again."
Xiao Qiqi's words are fresh, those dim sum masters who have made moon cakes for most of their lives have never heard of any seafood flavor in moon cakes, this is really a long experience, so this time after Xiao Qiqi finished speaking, when he started to pinch the seafood-flavored moon cake filling, those people in the kitchen followed Shen Suyue, not only watching, but directly following and learning.
Hands-on learning, the effect is naturally different from the previous one, and the results are placed on everyone's table, Xiao Qiqi only needs to look at it, you can see at a glance, and know whether these moon cake fillings made by everyone are up to date.
It's just that she doesn't have much time to give them careful guidance, and only points out a few of them who have done well, so that those who don't do well will follow them to learn hard.
This made the moon cake filling of the seafood series, and then Xiao Qiqi began to teach several other special moon cakes.
This first kind of moon cake is a cool moon cake, which is made by mixing lily, mung beans and tea into the moon cake filling, which is the latest creation, and has the effect of moisturizing and beautifying the face.
The second type of mooncake is coconut milk mooncake, which is filled with freshly squeezed coconut milk, evaporated milk and melons and fruits, with low sugar and oil content, a sweet taste, rich coconut flavor, and a fragrant mouth. It has the functions of moisturizing, strengthening the stomach and beautifying the face.
This third kind of moon cake is a flower tea moon cake, with flower tea as the main filling, the taste is light and slightly fragrant, and it also has the effect of moisturizing and beautifying the face.
"When you hear the three kinds of moon cake fillings I want to talk about, you want to make them all by hand, after all, moon cakes that can beautify your face, no matter what kind of woman you are, will be excited, isn't it? So you have to look carefully and see how I do it, and you follow how I do it. "Xiao Qiqi's words are really attractive, women, who doesn't like to be pretty, as soon as I heard Xiao Qiqi say that these three kinds of moon cakes have a beautifying effect, they all rubbed their hands, staring at Xiao Qiqi's eyes were green.
During the whole process, they didn't miss their eyes, stared without blinking, and followed, and the results that came out in the end were naturally the best.
Sure enough, if there is motivation, there is efficiency.
Looking at the moon cake fillings that were pinched out one by one, Xiao Qiqi nodded with satisfaction, and told them with a smile that they had all passed.
"Okay, then you can start the official work according to the types of mooncakes I pointed out earlier."
"Yes, Princess." The man in the kitchen answered.
Xiao Qiqi saw that she had said everything she should have said, and everything she should have pointed out had been completed, and then it was inconvenient for her to continue to stay in the kitchen, lest these people be tied up in making moon cakes in the kitchen because of her identity, which would affect their work, but it was not beautiful.
Thinking about it, she took her apprentice Shen Suyue out of the big kitchen and went to the small kitchen instead.
In the small kitchen, the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter were all there, staring at the three little masters with a nervous look on their faces making moon cakes in the small kitchen.
As soon as they saw Xiao Qiqi coming, their hearts that had been preceded before finally let go.
"Princess, you're finally here. The three little masters just watched the princess instruct the cooks in the house to make moon cakes in the big kitchen, and the three little masters had to try it after they came back, no, the slaves and maids were not easy to stop, and it was not easy to persuade, or the princess went to persuade and persuade the three little masters, this work, let the slaves and maids do it, but I can't afford to let the three little masters make moon cakes. ”
"It's okay, the four of you go down, even if the prince knows about this, he won't blame you. There are some things that make sense to do it yourself, and since the three children are so happy, let them give it a try, so what's the matter. Xiao Qiqi didn't object, although the three children were now like flower-faced cats, all of them had flour on their faces.
The four maids in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, seeing that their princess did not object to the three little masters doing this, they couldn't say anything, so they obeyed Xiao Qiqi's orders and bowed down.
When they withdrew, Xiao Qiqi also instructed that if Su Jing came back, he would tell him that she and her three children were making moon cakes in the small kitchen, and if he was interested, he could also come over and make moon cakes together.
After giving the order, Xiao Qiqi took Shen Suyue over and patted the flour on the clothes of the three little guys with a smile.
"You three kids, you seem to be having a pretty good time. What do you think? I've been listening to my mother at the door for so long, but what results have you made when you come back? Xiao Qiqi raised his eyebrows and smiled at how well the mooncakes produced by their three children were doing.
"Mother, don't look at it, except for Brother Xingchen, he has done a little bit, and I have done it with Xiao Yu, which is really unsightly." Xiaoyu thought that making moon cakes was very simple, but she didn't expect that in the first step, it would be very difficult to make moon cake crusts.
"Mother, it seems that Xiaoyu has no talent in this area, forget it, or don't do it, I'll just sit and wait to eat."
Xiao Qiqi looked at Xiao Yu with a look of annoyance, and immediately took out the clean handkerchief he carried with him and wiped her little face.
"Xiaoyu, no one is born to do things, you will never come to the meeting, don't be discouraged, take your time, practice more, and you will do well in the future."
"Really?"
"Really, it's more real than gold, before, when my mother first started learning, I didn't know how many times I was scolded by the master and her old man, every time I did it badly, the master was about to blow up, mother, at that time, I once wanted to give up, and later, it was the master and her old man who persuaded me to persevere, persevere, and my mother has today's craftsmanship, so ah, everything must have a beginning and an end, persist, don't give up, and one day I will see a satisfactory work."
"Mother, have you ever been that bad?" Xiaoyu obviously felt so surprised, how could her mother be a very poor person with such good craftsmanship before?
"Don't doubt anything, although my mother has some talent in cooking, she didn't understand anything at first, and she did a mess in many aspects, which was very bad. Don't think that if you have talent, you can do everything, it's all one step at a time, slowly, bit by bit. My master once told me that it is a good thing to have talent, but what is more important than talent is to have perseverance, to learn to be diligent to make up for shortcomings, to know how to persevere, to do everything from beginning to end, to keep improving, and to keep improving. ”
"Mother, Xiaoyu understands, Xiaoyu won't give up easily, mother, you teach Xiaoyu to make moon cakes, okay?" Xiao Yu shook Xiao Qiqi's arm and said.
"Okay, mother will teach you." Xiao Qiqi smiled and patted Xiao Yu's head, and Xiao Yu on the side followed and shouted. "Mother, I also want to learn, mother, you also have to teach me."
"Don't worry, mother, I'll teach you, all three of you will come over, mother, one by one, I will personally guide you."
