Mooncake (4-in-1)
Master Yang really has never seen a border pastor like Wishing you prosperity, who is quick and agile in action.
Master Yang took the pheasant over again and carried it in his hand, "This guy is not lightweight, he has a look of five or six catties, and he originally wanted to catch a chicken in the garden tonight to make chestnut roast chicken, but since there is a better choice, let's use this pheasant to roast chestnuts." ”
In terms of eating, Gu Qian Yun has always listened to Master Yang, and there are still so many foodies on Moon Bay, but Master Yang has their "power of life and death", so it is naturally what Master Yang says.
Gu Jingyun hesitated for a while, and looked at the chicken that was still a little sluggish, "Is this pheasant enough to eat, why don't you kill one more!" ”
If you don't have enough to eat, the big guy won't be able to eat at that time, and it will be so uncomfortable.
Master Yang was also refreshing, "Okay, let's listen to the boss." ”
"Master Yang, don't make fun of me." Gu Jingyun said, "Brother Long called again, saying that he would make moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and someone was already urging him to ask for it." ”
"Hey, Wang Fatzi is doing part-time shopping agents now." Yang Lao said, "How many times have I been looking for Xiao Yun'er to buy things in the past few months." ”
Because it is not ordinary people who can't get the supply of Moon Bay, there are still some people who are troublesome, knowing that Wang Fatzi has this relationship, and there are a lot of people who ask him to buy rice, fruits, and sweet potatoes.
However, the people who bought it for him were not ordinary people, they were all characters who couldn't be avoided, and Yang Lao felt that a lot of the good things in Moon Bay were taken away by him, so he usually treated Wang Fat Man with eyes instead of eyes, and nose not nose.
"Mooncakes?" Master Yang pondered for a while and agreed, "Okay, that thing is easy to make, just this chestnut-flavored and bean paste filling can be made delicious." "After all, it's his apprentice's shop, and the master has to stretch out his hand.
"Suiyuan, it's not good for us to do such a low-grade thing! Why don't you get something else? ”
"What are you doing with all the bells and whistles, old man, I like to eat bean paste stuffing the most." At this time, Yang Lao interjected, to be honest, sometimes he looks down on this group of pretentious people.
"No problem, I can get you abalone and crayfish flavors." Chef Yang is very casual, over the years, all kinds of new mooncake flavors have emerged in an endless stream, and these people also like to eat fresh, so there are many mooncake flavors that are no less than dark cuisine in Chef Yang's opinion.
However, after his improvement, these mooncakes taste good.
"I have already handed over the moon cake to Yang He, and when the time comes, Yun Nier, you can see his craftsmanship, and I will just do a job of tutoring from the side." Master Yang said again.
"Okay." Yang He, this kid has a bit of kung fu to make white cases, and many guests in Moon Bay like the dim sum he makes.
……
After a while, everyone up and down Moon Bay knew how to make mooncakes.
"The red beans on the mountain have already matured in the past few days, and the pods have dried up. Lin Shuhua said.
There is a lot of land on the mountain, so I planted some of everything, and this red bean was planted together with soybeans and mung beans.
In addition to some of the soybeans and mung beans for their own use, they also gave some to the uncle, and the rest of the situation was troublesome, so they were all put on the shelves of the online store, but in two or three days, a thousand catties of beans were sold out.
There are only a few hundred catties of red beans left, they originally planned to make moon cakes, and now they heard that Wang Fatzi took the initiative to buy moon cakes from them, so they were naturally even more happy.
Speaking of selling things, this group of people is very active, especially at this time, Lin Shuhua, Gu Jianping and Chen Boyang, watching the statistics in the background of the online store go up, they are excited.
I didn't know how to sell things online before, but now that the online store has been open for so long, it really makes everyone see the benefits, and when it comes to making moon cakes, they are extremely enthusiastic, who doesn't like selling money.
In the evening, Master Yang really made chestnut roast chicken, the fresh chestnuts absorbed the oily soup, the chestnut meat showed a bright soy sauce color, the soup was thick, wrapped in soft and glutinous chicken, as soon as it came out, it couldn't help but make people's appetite move.
Master Yang used the largest casserole in Moon Bay, a full pot, and the fuel below has been maintained on a small fire, although the temperature is still very high during the day, but it is much cooler at night, and a mouthful of hot chestnut roast chicken is eaten so hot that it makes people sweat.
Gu Jingyun fed some pheasant meat to a few small animals next to him from time to time, after all, it was also the fruit of their labor, and he couldn't let them enjoy the fruits of his labor at all.
……
The next morning, Gu Jingyun began to arrange for people to cut the red beans, the red bean plant and the red bean pods are now in a semi-dry state, only need to be dried under the sun for a few more days, the pods will be completely dried up, only need to be beaten twice with a wooden stick, and the red beans inside will fall off.
Recently, Moon Bay has also released a new dessert, red bean crisp, which uses red beans that only come out of the mountains, and in the words of one tourist, it is crispy slag.
Because the demand for flour has always been relatively large at home, Gu Guoyun found a supplier who has been providing her with flour, syrup and butter for a long time, and the quality is good, and she is very relieved to use it.
In addition to moon cakes, the sugar-fried chestnuts that Gu Jingyun has been looking forward to are also on the agenda.
Quartz sand has been fried as "cooked sand", the chestnuts boiled in sugar water are thrown into the iron pot and stir-fried, the sand is easy to dissipate heat after heating, and the small sand particles are easy to increase the contact area with the chestnut, so that the chestnut quickly becomes ripe and evenly heated, and it is not easy to produce burnt.
The big iron pot is supported in the yard, and below is the burning coal, with the heating of the pot, the iron sand in the pot slowly becomes hot, it transmits its enthusiasm to the chestnut wrapped in iron sand little by little, and then makes the chestnut become burnt, completely infected with its enthusiasm, and the fragrance of cooked chestnut spreads far away.
Congratulations screamed first, its jaw raised, its nose searching the air for the familiar scent it smelled.
It confirmed again, yes, this is the taste of the round fruit it had eaten before, and the taste was richer and more mellow than before, and the congratulatory hala was about to flow down.
Then, the animals on Moon Bay were restless and restless.
The little wild boar stood next to the big iron pot, "hummed" twice, and a pair of small bean eyes also stared at Master Yang, who was waving a big shovel and was full of tigers.
Big Tachibana stretched his lazy body, and washed the cat's face with his paws, and the cat's eyes stared at him as well.
"Meow!!" , what are these shovelers doing, why does it taste so good.
Master Yang was "surrounded by heroes", but he was not nervous at all, and his master demeanor was fully displayed, he took a sieve and sifted a few chestnuts that had been fried into black and brown in the iron sand, sniffed his nose, and felt that the heat was almost over.
Looking at this group of small things, he casually threw a few chestnuts at his feet.
The anxious Facai was the first to put the chestnut in his mouth, "woo", but before the time was 0.01 seconds, Facai spit out the chestnut again, and his tongue fell out of his mouth.
Looking at its eyebrow-lowering and annoyed look, the people around it couldn't help but laugh.
Fa Cai circled the chestnut twice, although it was a little hot, but it just took a bite, and the taste inside was very sweet, although it was hot, but I still wanted to eat it.
Facai sniffed it closer, and felt that the heat was almost gone, so he took another bite of the chestnut into it, and after a few words, he swallowed the chestnut in his mouth into his stomach.
"Whew!!" It tilted its head, how could it be like Zhu Bajie swallowing ginseng fruit, it was tasteless in the blink of an eye, and it was a little distressed to make a fortune.
It looked at a few friends next to it and found that they were all tasting their chestnuts, and there was nothing to spare.
"Whew!!"
Fa Cai drooped his head in despair, looking depressed, Gu Jingyun looked a little inexplicably sad and funny, so he quietly threw a chestnut in front of it.
Facai blinked incredibly, looked at Gu Jingyun with surprise, and put the chestnut in his mouth with a "whoosh", this time it has to taste it well.
……
To make mooncakes, you need invert sugar syrup and soap water, which can be bought directly, but Chef Yang prefers to make it himself.
White sugar can be mixed with water and lemon juice to make invert sugar syrup, while soapy water can be prepared with soda ash and potassium alkali.
There are also several pressure cookers, chestnuts and red beans need to be steamed with water, and when these are cooked thoroughly, take them out and wrap them in gauze, put them in a large wooden basin and scrub them, wash out all the bean paste, and finally only a layer of red bean skin is still wrapped in gauze.
Then squeeze out the water, pour the bean paste into the pot and stir-fry, add peanut oil and white sugar to stir-fry continuously, and finally the bean paste is fried.
Chestnuts are also similar to bean paste, and the crayfish flavors and abalone flavors that Master Yang said are just the particles of these meat in the filling, including their filling, Master Yang uses lotus paste, but the taste is different.
When making the crust, you need to sift the flour and a little milk powder, then add invert sugar syrup, soap water, and peanut oil, mix well, knead into a shiny dough and let it stand.
Cut the resting dough into small dough one by one, and then wrap the filling into small doughs and roll it on the mold.
The pressed moon cakes can be put into the oven to bake, the fire is not too big at first, pull it out after baking for a while, and then brush a layer of egg yolk liquid on the surface of the moon cakes, and then send it to the oven to bake for more than ten minutes.
The final baked mooncake is rich in color and has a very fragrant smell, which makes people can't help but move their appetite.
It's a pity that the freshly baked mooncake crust is very hard and not suitable for consumption.
Chef Yang found several large containers and sealed them for two to three days, during which the mooncakes slowly cooled, and the crust would become soft and oily, a process called "oil return", and the moon cakes after returning oil were the kind we usually eat.
During this period, they also tried to make cloud leg mooncakes and flower mooncakes.
Chef Yang didn't make the taste of Yunnan before, this is the first time he has tried to make cloud leg mooncakes, although the taste is good, but it seems to be a little worse than the authentic taste, not satisfactory.
As for the flower moon cakes, the flowers are edible roses provided by Meng Fangzhi, they are mixed with local ham, and the taste is good, but it is in line with the love of Grandma Liu and Lin Shuhua, and Gu Jingyun also likes this innovative form of moon cakes, which can be seen that this kind of flower moon cakes are more popular with women.
……
After two or three days, Suiyuan received the first batch of mooncakes.
The first thing Wang Fatzi did when he got the moon cake was to immediately open one and stuff it into his mouth.
The moon cakes sold in Moon Bay do not have particularly good packaging, it is a small boxy box with moon cakes inside, and the packaging on the outside is not special.
Wang Fatzi bared his teeth, everything in this Xiaoyun girl's house is very good, it's just this packaging, it's too ordinary.
The words printed on the moon cakes are the flavors of various moon cakes, and he was lucky, the first moon cake he got was abalone flavored.
From the surface, the color of the abalone mooncake is a bright brown color, and after chewing a few times, you will find that there is also a grainy abalone meat inside, which is both chewy and has a rich aftertaste, which is very delicious.
Master Qian also took a chestnut-flavored mooncake and took a bite, "Well, this is delicious, the chestnut flavor is so heavy, a little stickier than the bean paste, not so sweet, I like this." ”
"Yes," said the fat man, "then I'll try this again." ”
After swallowing the small half of the moon cake left in his mouth, Wang Fatzi couldn't wait to pick up another one, "Well, it's really good, Brother Qian, you can try the crayfish again, that taste is spicy and strong enough." ”
Wang Fatzi ate with a smile on his face, and instructed the workers in the garden to start packing these mooncakes into the packaging box.
"Come on, you go to a few people, and pull over the packaging box I asked people to pull in the warehouse before, there are four flavors of mooncakes here, and each box puts four different flavors into a box."
"Boss, last time the Dragon Boat Festival our zongzi were bought by the guests, this time the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes will always have our share." A waitress asked playfully.
"yes, boss. It's time for us to try it too! Someone else chimed in.
Before Wang Fatzi could speak, Qian Peng waved his hand boldly, "No problem, this Mid-Autumn Festival, each employee in our garden has two boxes of moon cakes, just register to receive them when you get off work in the evening." "How can I say that they are also catering in Suiyuan, so they can't treat their employees badly in terms of food.
Hearing this, a burst of cheers broke out among the employees instantly, "The boss is so nice." ”
As a result, the result of such a big deal is that this time Moon Bay sent a total of about 2,000 moon cakes, and the Guangfa employees and a few bosses took it themselves, so they took more than 100 boxes of moon cakes and left, and the rest were booked out by a few guests.
Wang Fatzi hurriedly called Gu Jingyun, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is on October 7th, and today is only the second day, if Moon Bay makes another batch of moon cakes, it will still be able to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 7th.
