Chapter 147: The Key

After the morning sales, when it looked like it was not busy, Shen Xiangmiao asked Shen Wentao to help take care of Shen Ji, and then led Shen Fuhai and Meng Weisheng to see how the shop should rest.

Shen Fuhai is old in the end, and he used to follow others to do some flexible mason work, and after a general look, he knew which places should be repaired and what things should be bought.

When it was almost over, Shen Xiangmiao discussed with the owners of the original house, the old couple, that they would pack up their things while they started to rest first.

The old couple is also reasonable, they only said that they should have handed over the key after receiving the money, and it was Shen Xiangmiao who gave them the time to clean up, and they thought of Shen Xiangmiao's goodness in their hearts, so naturally there was no reason not to agree at this time.

The matter was decided, Shen Xiangmiao gave Shen Fuhai money and asked him to help buy some needed things and find some helpers to start repairing the house. On the other hand, Shen Xiangmiao found the carpenter who was said to have good craftsmanship through Fang Huairen and asked him to help him build some desks, tables and chairs.

These things were all arranged, and Shen Xiangmiao took advantage of the fact that she was not busy at noon, so she took the time to quickly teach Meng Weisheng to start making those cakes.

First of all, pumpkin pie, pumpkin pie is not difficult, the steps are simple and Meng Weisheng introduced it, Meng Weisheng can remember a rough idea.

Subsequently, Shen Xiangmiao demonstrated it to him again and said several key points.

One is steamed pumpkin.

Under normal circumstances, most of the steamed pumpkin is carried out in the steamer, and the pumpkin will absorb a lot of water vapor in the pot during the steaming process, so that the water in the pumpkin will become more, so that in order not to make the pumpkin cake too soft, more glutinous rice flour needs to be put in to balance, and the consequence of this is that the pumpkin pie will become soft and glutinous because of too much glutinous rice flour, and the elasticity is too large, and the sweetness of the pumpkin will be insufficient, and more sugar needs to be added to increase the sweetness.

The sweetness of white sugar is not as natural as the sweetness of the pumpkin itself, and it will mask the sweetness of the pumpkin......

Arguably, this can lead to a cascade of bad effects.

Therefore, in the modern era of the previous life, Shen Xiangmiao usually used a microwave oven or oven to process pumpkin in order not to let too much water when making pumpkin pie, so as to avoid the disadvantages caused by the above things.

However, in times like these, the only way to replace things like microwave ovens and ovens is to wrap the pumpkin in a clean muslin cloth and strain the water after steaming.

The second critical step is to reconcile the surface.

Instead of grinding wheat flour, the pumpkin pie is made with steamed pumpkin and mashed pumpkin mixed with glutinous rice flour in a ratio of about 1:1.

In the process of mixing the dough, remember not to pour all the glutinous rice flour and all the pumpkin together at once, otherwise, the dough will be very uneven and prone to a large number of small lumps.

It needs to be added little by little, little by little, so as to ensure the full integration of glutinous rice flour and pumpkin puree.

Meng Weisheng has been learning to make baked cakes with his parents since he was a child, and his noodle skills are much better than Shen Xiangmiao, who doesn't often make pastries, so after a little mention, Meng Weisheng can do better than Shen Xiangmiao's demonstration.

And the third key lies in the final bombing.

After the noodles are done, they are filled with bean paste, and then made into round cakes, which Meng Weisheng is familiar with the production of baked cakes, and he is also very skilled in doing this.

The method of making homemade "breadcrumbs", Shen Xiangmiao also roughly talked to Meng Weisheng.

The final frying, Meng Weisheng was obviously not very proficient and not very sure, so Shen Xiangmiao carefully covered it up and explained it.

The oil temperature should not be too high, and it must be a low fire, so as to ensure that both sides are golden, and the outside is charred and the inside is tender.

"The general production method is like this, but the final frying, the grasp of the oil temperature and the size of the fire can only be said that practice makes perfect, and it can't be said, Brother Meng can only do more and practice, and slowly ponder it by himself." Shen Xiangmiao said.

"Hmm." Meng Weisheng nodded heavily, memorized everything that Shen Xiangmiao had just said, pondered it carefully, and then began to practice slowly by himself.

The so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, and Meng Weisheng's first few were not successful, either because the heat was too big and the skin was paste, or it was sandwiched inside......

But after a few times, after Meng Weisheng's insistence on practicing, the pumpkin pie made was exactly the same, and it tasted good.

Then I tried a few more times, and used up all the pumpkins and glutinous rice flour I prepared today, and the pumpkin pie made by Meng Weisheng has made a lot of progress compared to just now.

Shen Xiangmiao naturally affirmed Meng Weisheng's hard work, and asked Meng Weisheng to practice more in the near future, and at the same time distributed the pumpkin pie to the guys in the full moon building to taste one by one.

The guys naturally praised Meng Weisheng, and when they learned that Shen Xiangmiao and Meng Weisheng were going to open a pastry shop, they also supported one after another, and said that they would definitely support more in the future.

Shen Xiangmiao and Meng Weisheng naturally responded with a smile.

And everyone ate sweet pumpkin pie, talking and laughing very lively.

Among so many people, only Qiao Dayou was a little displeased.

Shen Xiangmiao is about to open a pastry shop, he is happy, and he is happy for Shen Xiangmiao in his heart, but when he thinks that it is opened with Meng Weisheng, he is not happy.

No, I have to ask the kid what he thinks in his heart, whether he has a messy idea.

Thinking about this layer, Qiao Da was ruthless and stuffed the piece of pumpkin pie into his mouth.

Subsequently, Meng Weisheng went to his own pot helmet stall to get busy, and Shen Xiangmiao went to find Shen Fuhai.

Shen Fuhai almost wrote down all the places that should be rested at this time, and bought some of the things he needed, and the rest either didn't pick a good one, or he had ready-made ones at home, so he thought that he would have to find some people from the village to help when he went back at night, so he planned to bring them over when he called someone to come early tomorrow morning.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do at this moment, Shen Xiangmiao and Shen Fuhai went to West Street to see if there were any suitable cattle to buy.

Although it is past noon at this time, many people who usually come to the market go back at noon, and the rest of the things that are sold at this time are picked by others.

But cattle are not as good as ordinary, and the price is high, so ordinary people can't afford it, and they may not be able to sell it so quickly.

Second, if you bring the cow to sell it from the morning, it will be a long time later, and if the cow looks good, it means that the cow is very healthy and there is nothing wrong with it.

Shen Fuhai and Shen Xiangmiao also thought the same, so they took advantage of the time just after noon to go to see the cow.

These two people had just left the full moon building with their front feet, and with their back feet, there were regular customers in the full moon building.
