Chapter 40: Learn to make steamed buns

"Aunt Zhang, did you finish eating so quickly?" It's complicated and not fast, but it's not very slow.

"Yes, is the girl going to learn now? Do you need a nap? Aunt Zhang asked intimately.

"No need, just now, I'll go change my clothes first, and Aunt Zhang will wait for me for a while." Tang Shayu closed the door and entered the house, and quickly changed into neat clothes.

Then I went to the kitchen with Aunt Zhang.

The kitchen had been cleaned, and the stove hole was still hot, warmer than outside.

As soon as Aunt Zhang entered the kitchen, she took out a wooden plank, then prepared tools and lit a fire to boil water.

"Girl, help me take down the old noodles from the cupboard." Aunt Zhang, who was boiling water, pointed to a cabinet.

Tang Sha walked to the cabinet and opened it. She'd never done anything like that before. She didn't even know what the old noodles were.

Looking left and right, I only found a basin with a piece of dough inside.

"Aunt Zhang, is this it?" Tang Sha showed Aunt Zhang the basin.

"That's it." Aunt Zhang replied.

Tang Sha closed the cabinet and put the old noodles next to the wooden board.

Then he asked, "Aunt Zhang, what is this old noodle for?" "It doesn't look like freshly kneaded dough.

Tang Sha's question aroused Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm: "In fact, everyone's method of making steamed buns is similar, but the taste of making them is different." One of the most important pieces of this is dough. This old noodle is what is used to make dough. Generally, the dough will take a long time before it will rise on its own. With this old face, it won't be long. It's the same as the koji you add when you make sake. ”

"Is there anything added to this old noodle?" Tang Sha knew that there was no such thing as yeast in ancient times.

"What's more, it's just a normal dough that stays longer." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

Tang Sha nodded, in fact, he didn't know much about it. It doesn't matter, just learn it.

Aunt Zhang continued: "Where did I just say? Oh, in addition to controlling the amount of this old noodles, the warmth of the water, the strength of the noodles, the time, the filling of the buns, and the heat of steaming the buns. If you want to say that this steamed bun tastes the best, it is better to learn the steamed bun too much. I was fortunate enough to have received a gift from a son, and I will never forget the taste of the old body for the rest of my life. ”

Taixue bun Tang Sha has been seen in the book, and it is specially used for Taixue student rewards, which can be seen to be precious.

"If you have the chance, you will definitely taste it."

The water was almost boiled, and a basin of water cooled on the side.

Aunt Zhang washed her hands and took some green onions from the bar. I took a piece of pork that I didn't use up for cooking.

The people of the Imperial City generally do not eat pork and find it cheap. More about lamb and beef.

Tang Sha watched Aunt Zhang's every move carefully. From chopping green onions, chopping meat, to mixing sauce.

After the filling is adjusted, the noodles are mixed, and Aunt Zhang advises the dosage while practicing.

Reconcile the noodles, just wait for the noodles to be made. After about two quarters of an hour, I smelled a smell of glutinous rice wine.

"Do you smell this wine? That's what the noodles taste like. Aunt Zhang said.

Tang Sha nodded, her learning ability is also excellent, and she can understand it at one point. Write them all down secretly.

Then it's time to cut the dough, roll the dough, and wrap the filling. Tang Sha can participate in this link.

Looking at the smooth action of Tang Sha cutting and rolling noodles, the long noodles were cut out almost the same size, and the hand was very stable. She was all wondering if this wasn't the first time she'd done something like this.

Tang Sha has learned martial arts for so many years, and he can only use boxing and stick techniques, and he has also learned a little bit of knife skills from his senior brothers.

The simple operation of cutting noodles is really difficult.

Finally, the buns are steamed in a cage, which takes about a quarter of an hour.

Looking at the steamed steamed buns, the sweet smell of flour is exuded. Tang Sha felt as if he was a little hungry.

After washing my hands, I grabbed one directly with my hands, which was a bit hot.

I took a bite and it was a little hot.

The noodles are soft and chewy. This taste is similar to the one I bought outside the palace.

But the stuffing inside is not as delicious as the buns, which may be due to the ingredients.

"En~, Aunt Zhang, this tastes good. I think you can go back to your old business, and the business must be very good. Tang Sha sighed.

was originally sincere, but Aunt Zhang was startled: "What does the girl mean?" ”

Tang Sha saw Aunt Zhang's panicked eyes and knew that she had misunderstood her words, so he immediately explained with a smile: "I didn't mean to ask you to leave, I just said that the steamed buns you made tasted no worse than those steamed buns in those steamed bun wine shops outside." If you own a store, your business will not be worse than theirs. ”

Aunt Zhang put her mind at ease and said with a wry smile: "How can you have money to open a store, and you can still help when your family is still there." Later, no one could move the stall. ”

Tang Sha thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Zhang, I have an idea. ”

"Girl, please."

"I'm going to open a shop that specializes in steamed buns and cage cakes. What do you think? ”

"There are too many steamed buns now, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." Aunt Zhang persuaded.

"I know that there is a kind of steamed bun called xiaolongbao in Sichuan and Shu, which is delicious. Compared with this steamed bun, it is more compact and flavorful. And I think most of the buns in this imperial city are stuffed with green onions. So why can't you make vegetable fillings? It's like a bun with all kinds of delicacies. In addition to steamed buns, there are also siu mai, steamed dumplings, etc. I don't know how to make it, but I know a lot of exotic cakes. I'm sure it's not hard to do with your experience. ”

Although Aunt Zhang has good skills, she doesn't have many ideas in business. But after listening to Tang Sha's statement, I also think it is feasible. It's just that I'm afraid that my ability is not enough and I will live up to Tang Sha's trust.

"I'm afraid that the old body will drag down the girl."

"Why don't we try it out tomorrow? If the business is good, there is no need to shirk it. Tang Sha discussed.

Aunt Zhang thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed.

"Tell me what kind of xiaolongbao the girl is."

Tang Sha is naturally willing to explain.

The rest of the buns were distributed among the guys and the bookgoers who forgot to sleep and eat to read. Then he and Aunt Zhang were tinkering in the kitchen.

It didn't stop until it was dark. Because I was afraid that I would have to get up early tomorrow, I left Aunt Zhang and her granddaughter to spend the night in the bookstore.

Tang Sha fetched water and went back to the room, washed up, and slept directly. You have to get up early, just like when I was studying, those cafeteria aunts who made breakfast would go to the cafeteria around four o'clock in the morning to cook. Students in the dormitory near the cafeteria complain every day that it is too noisy.

……

At the foot of Nan'an Temple. A young monk sits on a staircase with a cute little novice sitting on his lap. The little novice held a large gourd in his short and fleshy hands. There are some water stains left on the corners of the pink mouth. There is a broom next to it.

These two are innocent and endless.

Innocent gently wipes the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with his thumb. Endless raised his head, looked at Wuzhi with black and white wet eyes, and said glutinously: "Brother Xi, when will Brother Wushi come back?" ”

Wujian hugged Hentai tighter, and complained: "Your senior brother Wushi is not a good person, you have a daughter-in-law and forgot your junior brother, the next time you come back, maybe I will bring you a little nephew back, he doesn't want you anymore." ”

"Really?" Hentai asked worriedly, furrowing her cute light-colored eyebrows.

Just as Wujian was about to answer, a person suddenly appeared not far away.

After a closer look, he pursed his lips and didn't want to pay attention to it.

Endless Nature also saw it, and immediately forgot the sorrow just now, and called happily: "Brother Ye." ”
