112. Three kinds of desserts
Three days later, Qingxinfang was full of business, all for the three desserts that were launched today.
Liu Qiang is a capable person, and I don't know how many connections he used to accompany many smiling faces, in short, all the raw materials that Liu Jiaojiao needed were bought. For this reason, Liu Jiaojiao directly gave him two months' salary as a reward, so happy that Liu Qiang couldn't wait to pour out his heart and lungs to make a declaration of loyalty.
Today's 20 tables were all booked a few days ago, and originally there were only three or four people at each table, just because they all wanted to try the dessert that was said to be very delicious and special, and one table was squeezed into seven or eight people, and the table of ten people in three boxes was forced to add seats, with an average of fifteen people per box.
As soon as there were more customers, the men and waiters were even busier, eager to split themselves in half.
The kitchen is also busy, the number of people eating has increased, so the dishes ordered in advance are definitely not enough, basically the guests at each table are asking for additional dishes, on the one hand, so that everyone can be full, on the other hand, they want to make up enough consumption for desserts.
Who let only members with silver card and above buy those kinds of desserts separately, in order to eat, everyone is also open-minded.
Looking at Erhu, who was arranged by Liu Jiaojiao to help cook, and then looking at the big pot of dishes in front of him that seemed to be inexhaustible, Xiao Nian's eyes flashed with hatred.
He hated Liu Jiaojiao, who suddenly changed his attitude towards him, and even more hated Erhu who robbed him of the opportunity to steal his teacher, and the hatred was so fierce that he almost almost fell into the basin and left.
The seeds of hatred have been quietly planted without Liu Jiaojiao's knowledge, just waiting to blossom and bear fruit.
The three desserts that Liu Jiaojiao is going to sell today are double skin milk, old-fashioned chicken cake and egg tart.
The oven was sent by a skilled craftsman the day before yesterday, and she tried it a few times, but there were basically no shortcomings except for the complicated production process and the longer time it takes.
After all, in an ancient country without any high-tech, she didn't dare to ask for too much, and it was already very good if she could barely use it.
She had already prepared the double skin milk early in the morning and put it in the well water for natural refrigeration, and she also specially asked Liu Jun to keep an eye on the well, unless she or Liu Qiang went to pick it up, it would never be handed over to others.
Old-fashioned chicken cake, also known as trough cake, is Liu Jiaojiao's favorite snack when she was a child, since she started to learn to cook, she has been thinking about when to make it herself, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for the past.
Therefore, she asked Lei Zhong to find a craftsman to get a set of plum-shaped molds early on, just so that one day she could make a chicken cake by herself.
First beat the eggs into a waterless container, and then add an appropriate amount of sucrose, because there is no whisk, so I have to use long chopsticks instead, fortunately with the moisture of the space spiritual spring, otherwise with her small body, the continuous low-speed egg beating hand will be wasted.
When the eggs are beaten until the water chestnut can be pulled out, add the flour sifted through a sieve, stir quickly in a cross fashion, then add some corn oil and stir well.
Then, slowly pour the prepared egg mixture into the mold, nine minutes full, then sprinkle some white sesame seeds on the surface, then put it in the oven, constantly observe the heat, and wait for the baking to come out.
The most troublesome thing in this is corn oil, at first Liu Jiaojiao thought that there was no corn in this era, after all, I have read some related books in modern times, it is said that it was introduced to our country during the Ming Dynasty, but this overhead era is really powerful at some times, so powerful that she can't help but suspect that the reason why this dynasty is not recorded in history is because a certain predecessor rewrote history.
The most direct manifestation is that she doesn't have to worry about where to find corn and how to use corn germ to refine corn oil, but she mentioned it to Liu Qiang by the way, and people directly got the finished product back, only saying that the price was a little expensive, but there was nothing unusual.
However, the senior who crossed over was probably engaged in agriculture, and he was the kind of master who had no cooking skills at all and was not interested, so she successfully found corn oil, so she had the opportunity to be ahead of others in eating, and it also caused many ingredients that could be used to make desserts without knowing where to go.
Yesterday, she had tried to make chicken cakes several times, and Erhu had been watching from the side, and she also gave a few words, so she was very relieved to let him stay in the oven to adjust the heat, and she started to make egg tarts.
Because of the beginning of spring, the fruits in the world are extremely limited, except for apples are pears, so she decided to use apples instead of yellow peaches to make fruit tarts. Those ancient people couldn't eat it, but she had obsessive-compulsive disorder and would never sell food she didn't even despise to customers.
First of all, you have to make egg tart skin, this needs butter, fortunately there are also Xiongnu in this era, and the Xiongnu are the first people in the world to process edible butter, and have been trading with the inland, so although it took some effort, but with the help of Liu Yuanwai, I still got some.
Put an appropriate amount of flour and butter in a basin, then pour in cool boiled water, then soften into a dough, and cover it with a clean cloth that will not breathe, no way, without plastic wrap she can only find something else instead.
Put the dough in ice and refrigerate it for an hour, these ice are still yesterday when Liu Qiang saw that she had been relying on well water to refrigerate things and asked her curiously, and then directly told her that she could use saltpeter to make ice, she suddenly remembered that there is also this ice-making method, and then specially asked Liu Qiang to get some saltpeter back to make it.
Saltpeter can make ice seems to be the knowledge learned in junior high school, but she forgot it completely, and asked an ancient person to remind her, she felt really drunk, and there was a faint melancholy.
After an hour, take out the dough, roll it out, then apply butter and roll it up, then refrigerate the non-breathable cloth on the rolled bread for another half hour, then cut the dough into a dough of about one centimeter and knead it into a disc shape.
The ancient process could not make the modern thin tin foil, so she had no way to make a mold, so she had to use the soil method, hand-kneaded, and then freeze it hard, and then carefully pour the prepared tart water into the frozen and hardened tart skin, pour it seven minutes full, and then put in the cut apple pulp, and then put it in the baking tray, and bake it in the preheated oven.
Fortunately, she was clever enough to let the craftsman get three ovens out, and fortunately, the kitchen had already reserved the place for the ovens when it was renovated, otherwise with her broken nature of doing whatever she wanted, there would definitely be a chaotic battle today.
Because the egg tart is too time-consuming, it can only be presented last, and the guests who come at noon can only eat double skin milk and chicken cake, and because it is a gift, so each table is limited, and only two portions of double skin milk and only four chicken cakes.
The guests must have opinions on this, but Liu Qiang directly said that there was no way, and took out the set of rhetoric about the fine materials and time-consuming production, which barely quelled everyone's resistance and discussion.
After those gold and silver card members learned that three desserts were sold today, they sent their subordinates to wait early, and after Liu Qiang explained that the egg tart still needs to wait for a long time, they are very understanding and say that there is no problem.
Before coming, the old lady of the family explained that if you want to eat good things, you must spend time waiting, so that they can wait in line with confidence and boldness, as long as they can buy it back, it is not a problem to wait for a long time.
But if they didn't buy it back, then their farts and stocks would probably suffer, so they were very polite to Liu Qiang one by one.
It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that the first plate of egg tarts was successfully baked, and I quickly satisfied the guests who had gathered 30 taels of consumption and waited for their necks to grow, and then began to prepare food boxes for those members in the order of queuing to take away.
Because it is the first day to launch a new dessert, Liu Jiaojiao did not use hunger marketing, to sell as much as she wants, fortunately, there are not many gold and silver card members in the store today, everyone has not tasted the taste and dare not buy more, and it is limited to 20 tables of guests every day, otherwise it is estimated that it will not be sold out until the closing time.
After the store was closed, Liu Jiaojiao softened her arm that was already sore to numbness, and said to Liu Qiang: "Brother Liu Qiang, hurry up and write a notice and post it outside, from tomorrow, members will buy in limited quantities, one box for one silver card member, and two boxes for one gold card member, otherwise my arm will definitely be scrapped tomorrow!" ”
Liu Qiang couldn't help but smile: "You foresaw that they would definitely come to buy again tomorrow and buy more, right?" ”
"Do you still need to doubt my craft? Forgot your expression after eating it yesterday? By the way, I deliberately left a box, and you and the guy who guarded the store were hungry to eat at night. ”
Thinking of that excellent taste, Liu Qiang felt that his saliva was about to come down, and he thanked Liu Jiaojiao busily, and then he didn't even report today's income, and ran to the kitchen with his feet up.
Liu Jun walked over to help her lie down, and then silently helped her massage.
Liu Jiaojiao hummed comfortably a few times, then closed her eyes and said to him, "Brother." I also left you a big box, you can take it back to eat with Master in a while, and remember to tell me his opinion after eating it tomorrow. ”
"Well, don't worry." Liu Jun has always been the most caring, only doing things and not talking much.
"Brother, let me tell you quietly, I can still make many, many delicious desserts, but I don't know where to find some ingredients, and I don't know if I can find them, otherwise I will make them ......every day" Liu Jiaojiao was too tired, and Liu Jun pressed it comfortably, so she fell asleep while talking.
Liu Jun waited until she was breathing smoothly and fell asleep before slowly stopping, then squatted beside her, gently stroked her hair, and said softly with a gentle smile: "Do you want to say that you make it for me every day?" Then I'll just wait. ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and gently imprinted a light kiss on the top of Liu Jiaojiao's hair, extremely gentle and reverent.
