Chapter 19 It's time to make moon cake molds
Recently, Jiang Yu was thinking about what kind of filling to use for moon cakes, and it happened that Mrs. Wang's family took a little pine nuts and asked the restaurant if she wanted it, and Jiang Yu took the opportunity to ask for a handful of fillings for herself. She was going to make pine nut and date paste filling, so she tried it, but unfortunately it didn't reach the taste she wanted. In the end, there were some pine nuts left, and it was easy to break if the shell was peeled, so I simply fried it with white sugar and gave it to Jiang An to eat.
Jiang An ate happily, and there was a lot of frosting on his hands, and Jiang Yu wiped him clean with a handkerchief.
Jiang An suddenly said, "Auntie, I want to take some to the hospital." ”
"Okay. An An knows how to share, which is a good thing. Jiang Yu said with a smile, she had also planned to send something to the hospital during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Jiang An rubbed his eyes, as if he was a little sleepy, studying medicine was hard, but he enjoyed it.
On this day, when Jiang Yu went to pick up Jiang An, he passed by a small restaurant, and as soon as he sat down, he heard the sound of talking at the back table.
"Hey, have you heard, Xiangmanyuan is also going to sell moon cakes."
"Yes, yes, why did you say that the shopkeeper of his family has been so keen on selling these snacks recently?" The person who answered the phone was a little puzzled, but because of the large number of people, he lowered his voice, "A few days ago, it was just pumpkin pie, I think they changed it so that the pumpkin pie can turn out flowers!" ”
"But it's delicious." The person who answered the call smashed it, smashed it, and smashed it.
"Don't you think that his family's recent reputation seems to have been made by dim sum," the man seemed to be drunk, drunk, "I don't think about the dishes well, but I put my heart on what pumpkin cake moon cakes, tsk, how can it compare to Baiweiju." ”
"Not to mention, this is delicious, isn't the shopkeeper going to change his career to a dim sum shop?"
The man who spoke first laughed, and the two of them lowered their voices, not knowing what to say. Jiang An pushed the plate of melon seeds in his hand to Jiang Yu, and whispered, "Auntie, taste this, there is still a little sweetness in the melon seeds." ”
Jiang Yu had already heard this kind of thing last time, so he just turned his head and smiled at Jiang An, "An An eat less, I'll have to eat later." ”
This restaurant is newly opened, but the cook has been cooking for ten years, so Jiang Yu took Jiang An to try it. Xiao Er, the kung fu shop where they were talking, had already brought the dishes up, and the spicy taste rushed straight to his nose, Jiang An couldn't help but swallow his saliva and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat. This plate of pork is seasoned with only salt and toppings with green peppers and cucumber slices. The meat slices are golden in color, the meat is fat but not greasy, and a little spicy, Jiang Yu feels that he can finish a bowl of white rice! The chef really has something!
Jiang An couldn't eat too spicy, while feeling delicious, he was so spicy that he could only inhale, his face was flushed, and there were tears in his eyes as if he had been wronged. Jiang Yu hurriedly poured him an extra glass of cold water, and pushed a plate of stir-fried lotus root next to him to Jiang An.
What if it becomes a dim sum shop? Others can't do it. Jiang Yu pursed his lips in his heart.
Jiang Yu already had a general idea of the moon cake crust and filling in his mind, but he didn't know what tricks to make it out of yet. Shopkeeper Chen suggested that Jiang Yu make it look similar to pumpkin pie.
She inquired about the style of moon cakes in the past few days, and only one person who came back from the capital said that there are all kinds of moon cakes printed with flowers in Beijing, and what peony and peony are all flowers that she is used to, but they are unexpectedly beautiful when printed on moon cakes.
Jiang Yu still shook her head, thinking about the mooncakes she had eaten. She doesn't want to imitate the style of the capital, although people think that everything that comes out of the capital is good, but the tiger is not an anti-dog.
Jiang Yu wanted to draw the mold in her mind, but she didn't have any drawing skills, but instead drew a few pieces of paper.
I want to change the look, but I can't draw it! After the shopkeeper Chen found out, he pointed out a clear path to Jiang Yu - there is a master surnamed Mu in the city, who is a well-known carpenter in Nancheng, just tell him what you want to do, and I can help you make it soon.
There is not a single person who has gone to Master Mu to do things that does not praise him, saying that his craftsmanship is not bad in Beijing. From repairing houses to making molds, he can do everything. He can also draw drawings himself, and the guests who come to him may not always be able to tell him what they want, but as long as they tell him, the things in his hands have never disappointed.
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and was ready to go to Master Mu to see if he could make a new mold when he got off work.
When I found the carpenter's shop, the carpenter was sawing wood, and there was a neat stack of planks next to it. He saw the visitor holding one of his glasses—his eyes were a little bad after a long time of carpenter's work—and he smiled kindly, "What is the matter with the girl?" Come sit down. ”
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a lot of unpainted wood carvings, as well as some small parts for repair, which made Jiang Yu very novel.
Jiang Yu said: "I want to ask Master Mu to help make a mold, which I use to make moon cakes." ”
