The Queen's institute has an orphanage under its name, but it is not built in the same place as the institute, but on the outskirts of the city.

This year's Children's Day and the Dragon Boat Festival are connected together, and the queen directly gave Hao Dong a death order, asking them to consider how to celebrate the children.

This work is definitely the first time for several people, and when they heard the queen's order, Ergou's face turned a little blue, and he looked at Hao Dong with resentment: "Qin Niu'er would never give this kind of order in the past, it must be the little mouse that you let her mother's love overflow!" ”

Hao Dongli didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned his head to ask Qi Jue: "You really haven't taken care of orphans on Children's Day or anything like that before?" ”

Qi Jue shook his head, his face dazed.

Compared to Ergou's obvious appearance of being abused by children, this one seems to be completely inexperienced, so he doesn't know that the future is sinister.

Hao Dong was suddenly a little melancholy, because he had no experience with children.

So Zhao Zheng, who seems to be the oldest and should have the most theoretical life experience, has become everyone's last hope.

Zhao Zheng put on a big brother posture, and he did seem to be very experienced: "Coaxing children, it's nothing more than eating and playing, just start from these two aspects!" ”

This doesn't seem to be difficult, and eating Hao Dong will definitely not be a problem; Play, as long as there is money, there are toys nowadays.

So everyone divided into two ways, and Qi Jue accompanied Hao Dong to make food suitable for children; Zhao Zheng, a guy who seems to be very experienced, led Ergou to buy toys.

Before starting, Hao Dong learned from the queen about the age distribution of the children in the orphanage, and found that it was really difficult to classify, and there seemed to be all ages.

In this case, Hao Dong thought about it and decided to make a little mini brown first.

The size of this kind of small zongzi is no more than the size of two knuckles of an adult man, as long as it is a child who can put himself to eat zongzi, he can take one bite at a time, and it is not easy to eat.

Older children can use this kind of small zongzi with small ribs to make braised pork rib zongzi, which is delicious and full.

As for those that are particularly small, Hao Dong plans to prepare some crystal mini browns separately.

Of course, the orphanage also has small babies who are still breastfeeding and have not yet grown teeth, which basically can only prepare milk powder money and clothes and toys, and it is not in the category of "making them happy" as the queen said.

After all, it is so small, as long as you are fed, warm, warm, changed into a clean diaper, and then hugged and teased, you can almost be completely satisfied.

After the plan was made, Hao Dong immediately started to prepare.

The first thing to do is crystal brown, because the demand for this is relatively small.

The practice of the zongzi itself is no different, the only difference is that the crystal brown needs to make a transparent effect, and even in order to attract the attention of children, it is best to make it colorful.

So crystal brown is actually not made of glutinous rice, but sago.

Sago is not actually rice, but a starch-based processed product. Therefore, in addition to making sago dew in daily life, it can also be used to dissolve and thicken.

As for crystal brown, because it needs to be able to become a zongzi in the end, it naturally cannot make the sago have the possibility of completely dissolving, so it cannot be soaked first like glutinous rice.

The sago is sealed in a bag, and there is no need to clean it, and after taking it out, Hao Dong only gave it a little bit and put it aside first.

To make the color of crystal brown, the more convenient way is to use color sesame oil.

The use of color sesame oil is similar to the combination of food coloring and flavor, but the flavor is rich, and compared with general food additives, the taste is correct, and the harm to the human body is also less.

But no matter how harmful it is, it is also an industrial synthetic, so Hao Dong does not plan to use it.

Anyway, as long as they complete the task this time, it doesn't matter what they do, the queen will be responsible for reimbursing all expenses, so Hao Dong bought a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and got a lot of fruit and vegetable juice at any cost.

Therefore, although the demand for crystal brown is relatively small, it is not easy to do at all.

After boiling or squeezing a bunch of apples, pineapples, lemons, strawberries, oranges, bananas, spinach, tomatoes, corn, carrots, and juices, half a day passed.

Hao Dong decided to speed things up.

Fortunately, the rest of the matter is not so troublesome.

The first is sago soaked in various sauces.

The sago is not soaked, so you don't need to put a lot of fruit and vegetable juice. Seeing that the surface of the sago grains is all contaminated with moisture and looks very moist, you can pour out the excess juice and set aside the soaked sago for later use.

Wrapping zongzi naturally requires zongzi leaves, which are available on the market.

The purchased zongzi leaves can be washed and soaked in water when they are pressed to make fruit and vegetable juice - if you don't soak them first, the leaves will be brittle, and they will be easy to break when wrapped in zongzi - and you can use them at this time.

Because it is a mini brown and very small, a single dumpling leaf is enough for a zongzi. At the same time, in order to prevent the sago grains from sticking to the dumpling leaves, you can use a brush to brush a little oil on one side of the dumpling leaves.

Then roll the oiled side inward into a cone, put soaked sago grains into it, and then fill it with different flavors of stuffing such as bean paste, fresh meat, egg yolk, chestnuts, etc. Finally, spread a layer of sago grains and cover the filling tightly.

The next step of wrapping the zongzi leaves is not just a good look, because tying zongzi is also a science, and it requires strength. If you don't tie it tightly enough, it will be tragic to turn around and cook in the pot.

Hao Dong is still wrapped in triangular zongzi today, and the steps are not complicated, just because the zongzi are small in size, they especially need to be handled carefully. As a helper, Qi Jue felt that it was not difficult to learn.

But the problem is that when it came to this step, because Hao Dong emphasized that it must be important, as a result, Xiao Qi Ye didn't pay attention to one of his subordinates, and he was directly strangled.

There was a bang, and immediately there was a few pink sago grains soaked in strawberry juice and the ginkgo bean paste filling in the middle.

Finally, because the size of this zongzi is not large, the scope of the disaster caused is not particularly amazing.

Qi Jue looked embarrassed, but Hao Dong couldn't hold back his laughter.

Because of the great force of that strangle, the whole small zongzi burst open, and even Qi Jue's face was not spared with several pink sago grains.

In particular, a very happy one happened to stick to the eyebrows of Xiao Qi Ye, which made Hao Dong realize for the first time that Xiao Qi Ye might be very charming when he dressed up, just like discovering the New World!

In any case, although there were a few twists and turns at first, it went quite smoothly after that.

Neither of them is a slow-moving type, and when Ergou followed Zhao Zheng and went out to have dinner and finally dragged back a cart of toys, their two hundred mini crystal browns were also just completed.

In fact, Hao Dong's original plan was only a hundred, because there were only five or six children over the age of three and under the age of ten in the orphanage.

But considering the situation in his team, Hao Dong still doubled it in the end.

After these are finished, the glutinous rice on the side has also been soaked.

With the previous 200 mini brown foundations, the speed of this 100 small zongzi plus 200 large zongzi was even faster, and it was all completed before midnight.

But that's half the story.

Hao Dong washed a full thirty catties of ribs before going to bed, kneaded them with salt, sugar, soy sauce, yellow wine, and ginger powder, and then dragged his two sore arms to bed.

The braised zongzi pork ribs are a hot dish, and Hao Dong's original plan was to prepare them in a thermos bottle. But that's too much, and transportation is a big problem.

So after the queen negotiated with the orphanage, the final decision was that they would bring the raw materials and use the orphanage's large kitchen to make them.

So Hao Dong had to get up early in the morning that day.

Sleepy-eyed until he got out of the car and breathed in the crisp morning air in the suburbs, Hao Dong was sober. Stretch out and immediately plunge into the back kitchen.

The raw materials were all prepared the night before, and even the glutinous rice dumplings were peeled in advance, and Hao Dong now only needs to put them on the stove to make them into a dish.

The rice dumplings used in the pork rib dumplings must be white water dumplings with no filling and no taste in themselves, so that they can fully absorb the delicious taste of the pork rib soup and taste good.

If you use a rice dumpling with a filling, you may be able to develop a wonderful new flavor, but it is too inhumane to use children as experiments.

Because the amount is a bit large, it is unlikely to be solved in one pot, and the orphanage's own two cooks also have one pot each, and they learn to cook it together with Hao Dong.

Since it is for children, it is not good if the oil is too heavy, so Hao Dong did not fry it in a large oil pan according to the general practice. Instead, heat the oil in the pan first, and when the temperature is enough, directly fry the mini rice dumplings.

This is more troublesome than a large oil pot, which requires people to keep an eye on it, and it takes more than ten seconds to turn over the ingredients, otherwise it will be easy to burn. After turning all the thirty or so zongzi in a pot until the skin is golden brown, Hao Dong feels that it is more tiring than beating two dogs.

Take out the fried zongzi first, and continue to stir-fry the green onion and ginger in the pot until fragrant.

Overnight, the flavored pork ribs were taken out and washed, blanched and drained first, and the green onion and ginger fragrance came out, and then the pork ribs were stir-fried in the pot.

When you can see small oil foam coming out of the surface of the meat, add salt, sugar, soy sauce and spices.

Because it's for children, this time I put a little more sugar to make the taste sweeter. As for the spices, Hao Dong simply put a little cinnamon star anise to stimulate the fragrance of the braised pork ribs.

Finally, add water just over the surface of the ribs, cover and turn to low heat to simmer. When the soup is almost finished, the ribs will be cooked.

Also considering that the bite of children's teeth is definitely not as strong as that of adults, these pork ribs Hao Dong has been kneaded with eggs mixed with a little cornstarch before putting them in the pot.

After cooking, the appearance is still beautiful, but in fact, the meat is soft and tender, and it can fall down with a casual poke, which is perfect for children and the elderly.

At this time, you can also put the mini brown that you just fried into the pan.

There is still a little leftover soup in the pork ribs, which is quickly absorbed after the rice dumplings are put into the pot, and the skin of the rice dumplings will not completely lose their crispy texture because they have been soaked in the soup for too long.

Hao Dong quickly stir-fried a few times, and then came out of the pot.

The pile of pork ribs on the plate is as tall as a hill, the dark red color is shining brightly, and the middle is interspersed with golden-red mini rice dumplings that have soaked up the broth.

There is also a little bit of soup hanging from the top of the pork rib mountain, and a shallow piece of soup ripples at the bottom of the plate, sticky and wafting a sweet taste, and you can tell at a glance that it must be delicious.

After Hao Dong entered this large kitchen, he realized that this orphanage must be quite large, but when he brought the dishes out, he found that the scene of so many people eating together was still quite shocking.

No, it should be "a scene of so many hungry people eating together"!

The expressions on the children's faces are the most real, and they know that today's meal is definitely different from the previous ones when they start to smell from the kitchen, so they are already looking forward to it.

Those crystal browns were taken out in advance as snacks, and the appearance made the children couldn't help but be surprised and admired, and the taste was even better, which made everyone look forward to the big meal ahead!

Now that it's finally out, how can you not be eager for it!

The combination of zongzi and roasted pork ribs is not too unusual for the staff in the orphanage. But for children who have lived in this world since they were young and basically have no opportunity to have more contact with the outside world, it is not new.

What's more, today they were allowed to eat with their bellies open, so when they saw Hao Dong come out, a room full of dozens of dolls, large and small, all cheered at Hao Dong, which was deafening!

Looking at the children in this room, Hao Dong knew that his task today would definitely be handed over!
