Chapter 57: Fresh Meat Mooncakes
In the past, Aunt Liu was always the first to come, but she didn't appear until now, which is really strange.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, maybe the other party is delayed by something, but they have to complete the vaccination work as soon as possible today.
Tong Chuxue did not wait for Liu Fen, but took the Luo family and Xu Jinniang to get busy first.
She asked everyone to disinfect their hands with liquor first, and then put the Ganoderma lucidum spores that had grown into the mouth of the culture bag and tie the mouth tightly.
Everyone was busy for more than an hour, but Liu Fen was still nowhere to be seen.
"Why don't I go to Sister Liu's house to have a look." Xu Jinniang stood up.
But before Xu Jinniang could go out of the gate, she saw Liu Fen running over from a distance.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's too late." Liu Fen was dressed rough and smiled rather embarrassedly. "I was packing up at home last night and woke up late in the morning."
"Aren't you alone at home, what are you packing?" Lin Chunyan asked curiously.
"It's not the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I was thinking about making some mooncakes, and I was looking for molds everywhere at home last night." Liu Fen said.
After her reminder, everyone was shocked to realize that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is an extremely important festival for farmers, and the family should get together for a meal and enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes together.
Speaking of moon cakes, Tong Chuxue became interested.
"Aunt Liu, what are you going to do with the stuffing moon cakes?"
Liu Fen said: "What else can there be, isn't it jujube paste." ”
"Isn't there any meat?" Tong Chuxue asked.
"What? Mooncakes still have meat filling? "It's the first time Liu Fen has heard of it.
The other people present also felt strange, who would put meat in the mooncakes, so how to eat it.
Seeing this, Tong Chuxue explained, "There is a kind of moon cake called fresh meat moon cake, which has puff pastry on the outside and meat filling on the inside, which is delicious." ”
But the name was very unfamiliar to them.
"Sister, is it really delicious?" Luo Huiqing asked curiously.
"Of course, the freshly baked fresh meat mooncakes are the most fragrant." Tong Chuxue couldn't help but start to reminisce, she remembered that she once had a friend who ate fresh meat mooncakes in her hometown, and every time the Mid-Autumn Festival came, she would make them for her.
"Roast?" Xu Jinniang looked confused, "What do you mean by roasting?" ”
"It's just to bake the mooncakes in the oven." Tong Chuxue said, "When the work at hand is over, I'll make an oven." ”
For the new things in Tong Chuxue's mouth, everyone is very interested and can't wait to understand.
At the end of the day, the inoculation of Ganoderma lucidum is basically completed, and the next step is to bury bags of culture material in the ground and wait for Ganoderma lucidum to grow. During this period, the whole greenhouse should be kept dark to facilitate the growth of mycelium.
"Snow girl, what do you say about the oven." Luo Changhua asked.
Tong Chuxue found that Luo Changhua was very capable of accepting new things and was willing to try.
Under the guidance of Tong Chuxue, Luo Changhua set up a simple earthen oven.
Luo Huiqing has been following Tong Chuxue since she was aroused by Tong Chuxue, like a little heel, pestering her every day to ask questions.
Tong Chuxue saw that the oven was already in place, so she went to the town and weighed two knives of meat and a piece of lard and came back, ready to make some fresh meat mooncakes. These mooncakes can be eaten at home or sold.
But Tong Chuxue's cooking skills really couldn't be handled, so the scene became what she said, Xu Jinniang did it.
Lin Chunyan saw that Xu Jinniang, under the guidance of Tong Chuxue, picked up a large picture of lard and flour together, and couldn't help but sigh twice, "You want to put so much lard." ”
They cook vegetables on weekdays, and putting a spoonful of lard is considered a luxury, but now Xu Jinniang has a big piece when she puts it, and she can see that her heart is dripping blood, how much does it cost. She kind of understood why Tong Chuxue said that the fresh meat mooncakes were delicious, how could they not be delicious if she put so much lard into them.
Prepare the dough along with the minced meat.
This time it's Tong Chuxue's turn to get out of the horse, just chop the meat and have the strength, and you don't need any superb cooking skills.
Tong Chuxue explained the production skills of fresh meat mooncakes while chopping the filling, and Liu Fen listened very carefully on the side.
Preparing the skin and filling, Tong Chuxue rolls out the dough, rolls it up, cuts it into sections, wraps it in the meat filling, and then pats it into a cake shape and puts it on an iron plate.
This iron plate was specially made by the carpenter in the town, and it was not easy to find a baking tray in this era, so she could only settle for it. After the ten mooncakes were ready, Tong Chuxue put the baking tray in the oven and blocked the opening with a wooden board.
"First snow, you won't burn it, will you?" Xu Jinniang asked, she had never seen a so-called oven before, and she was somewhat worried about it.
"It's okay, mother." Tong Chuxue is very confident.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the finished product to appear, especially Luo Huiqing, who stared at the oven tightly without blinking.
"I think if I put the mooncakes in the town and sell them, maybe they will sell for a lot of money." Tong Chuxue began to imagine imaginatively while waiting.
"Will anyone buy this?" Xu Jinniang is a little worried, the cost of mooncakes with meat filling is not low, and she still has to make money, and I don't know if anyone is willing to buy it.
Tong Chuxue is very confident in this, "Mother, this kind of fresh gadget is the most marketable, I don't believe we will take a look at it then." ”
"You......" Xu Jinniang also can't do anything with Tong Chuxue, this girl doesn't know why she is so confident, isn't she afraid of losing money.
In fact, Xu Jinniang's worries Tong Chuxue had already thought about it, but she felt that on an important day like the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone would definitely be a little more generous when they bought more things, especially when some people who worked in the town returned home, they also had to bring some things back. Meat stuffing is expensive, everyone can understand it, anyway, this thing is not eaten every day.
Tong Chuxue smiled and distributed the baked mooncakes to everyone's hands.
Everyone held the moon cakes that looked like white dumplings, you look at me, I look at you, or Xu Jinniang took the first bite out of trust in her daughter.
The crispy skin is fluffy and easy to eat, and the gravy mooncake filling is irresistible. The peasant family, who can only eat a few bites of meat during the New Year's holidays on weekdays, was deeply impressed by the taste.
Luo Huiqing chewed the moon cakes while boasting vaguely, "Sister, it's delicious!" ”
Luo Changhua and Luo Hui'an, who were called over to taste, also gave a thumbs up.
"If you take it out and sell it, it will sell well." Luo returned to Andao.
"Then it's decided, let's go to the town to set up a stall to buy mooncakes tomorrow." Tong Chuxue made a decision happily, "It's not clear about the sales volume yet, so let's make a hundred first." ”
It is not difficult for a room full of people to make 100 mooncakes, but to ensure freshness, it is best to make them on the same day and sell them on the same day.
"Snow girl, how much are you going to sell it for?" Liu Fen asked, in her opinion, if this kind of thing with such a high cost is sold cheaply, I am afraid that it will lose money.
"Price?" Tong Chuxue was actually not sure, and he was a little hesitant.
"One out of ten." Luo Hui'an suddenly spoke, "The moon cakes sold in the general shop are only about four yuan, this fresh meat moon cake has a high cost, and it uses meat filling, so it must not be sold cheaper than the ordinary moon cakes in the shop." ”
