Chapter 275: She's Lucky
The three children also came to Su Chen's place, one by one to assist, this point, that point, as if they had suddenly become a master chef, carefully teaching them the secret of success.
It was rare for Mu Ran to see such a beautiful picture of their father and son, so the three children did not stop them, allowing them to interact with Su Chen like this.
And she herself began to instruct Shen Wanxin to make snowy mooncakes.
"Master, what are snowy mooncakes? How have you never heard of it? ”
Previously, when Mu Ran instructed the cooks in the big kitchen to make moon cakes, it was just a change in the moon cake filling and the size of the moon cake.
Shen Wanxin didn't think it was surprising, but when she heard the snowy skin mooncakes at this time, she was surprised.
"The feature of snowy mooncakes is that the crust does not need to be baked and can be eaten after freezing. It is mainly transparent milky white skin, but also purple, green, red, yellow and other colors. The taste is different, the appearance is very harmonious and interesting, and after it is made, it is generally very popular. Of course, in fact, in addition to snowy skin mooncakes, there is also a kind of chocolate ice cream mooncakes, and you will know what is going on when you look at it. ”
Mu Ran Ran explained as he began to get up manually.
"Wanxin, the most important thing in making snowy mooncakes is to make the snowy skin first, and then pour milk, caster sugar, and salad oil into the basin and stir well."
"Yes, Master."
Shen Wan listened to it in her ears, and then followed Mu Ran and started to do it.
"Next, the stirred batter is sifted two or three times, and when the gnocchi is strained, the bottom of the sieve is dipped into the batter and the gnocchi is crushed into the batter with a spoon."
"Hmm."
"Probably let it stand for more than half an hour, cover it with gauze, and then put it into the steamer, steam it on high heat for half an hour, and you need to stir it several times to steam it halfway."
When Mu Ran said this, he turned to take the basin on the side and said: "Of course, in this small half an hour, we can make moon cake filling first, the moon cake filling of this snow skin moon cake generally has custard filling, purple potato cheese filling, taro filling, and we will make these three kinds of fillings first." ”
"Yes, Master."
Shen Wan's heart quickly followed Mu Dye to make custard filling.
For this custard filling, first melt the butter in water, add fine sugar and eggs after it is not hot, stir well, then add powder and milk, and stir.
After sifting two or three times, when straining out the gnocchi, dip the bottom of the sieve into the batter, use a spoon to crush the gnocchi into the batter, drip vanilla essential oil into the smooth batter after sifting, steam it on high heat, stir several times halfway, until the batter is completely discolored and cooked, about a quarter of an hour.
When your hands are not hot, put on gloves and knead vigorously to crush the lumpy batter as much as possible, and then knead it into a ball.
After cooling, the custard filling is good, and it is divided into a uniform size.
"Then this purple potato cheese filling and taro filling, the basic method is similar to custard filling, Wanxin, you follow me to make it, and it will be soon."
"Yes, Master."
Shen Wan's eyebrows and eyes were warm, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised to look at Mu Ranran's side, staring at every step, not daring to miss half a point, and concentrating on learning.
Soon, as Mu Ran said, Shen Wanxin, who has a foundation, and has a talent for dim sum, she naturally learns much faster than ordinary people.
As long as she controls the steps, materials and techniques, she can already complete it independently after making snow skin and moon cake filling a few times with Mu Ran Ran, without Mu Ran dyeing being on the side.
"Very good, Wanxin, you have already passed the test, next, let's first steam the previously steamed snow skin batter, stir it vigorously with chopsticks until smooth, and when it is not hot, put on gloves and knead the dough well. After cooling, it is the same as the previous custard filling, and it is divided into agents of similar proportions and sizes. ”
"Yes, Master." Shen Wanxin learned from Mu Dyeing and Dyeing, stirring the steamed ice skin batter vigorously with chopsticks until it was smooth, and when it was not hot, she put on gloves and slowly kneaded the dough to it.
After cooling, the dough is lowered one by one into a dough that is the same size as the dough placed in front of Master Mu Ranran.
"Okay, Master, I'm okay here."
"Okay, let's do the mooncake pressing next."
Mu Ran said, took a small piece of ice skin, pressed it flat, and put in the round filling.
After that, she gradually pushed the ice skin up until it was sealed and became a cake blank, and then pressed the cake blank into the mooncake mold and pressed it along the edge of the mold.
Then buckle the mooncake mold in a flat place, press it gently, and finally gently push the mold, and the snowy mooncake is ready.
"At this point, even if it is finished, finally put this formed snowy skin mooncake into the ice cellar, which is more conducive to maintaining the shape and taste better after refrigeration. What do you think? Wanxin, have you written it all down? ”
"Master, I've written them all down, and I've learned to complete one like Master, Master, take a look, is it feasible?"
Shen Wanxin handed over the snowy mooncake in her hand.
After looking at it carefully, Mu Ran smiled with satisfaction.
"Wanxin, you know what? The thing I regret the most is that I accepted you as an apprentice, I am so lucky, you are really talented in dim sum, you learn quickly, not to mention, often have your own ideas, your own creativity. In time, Master believes that you will soon be able to surpass me as a Master. ”
"Master, you are too praised, how can an apprentice surpass Master's craftsmanship, Master's level is a goal that apprentices dare not reach."
If you want to say lucky, the luckiest should be her Shen Wanxin.
How can she be able to worship such a master, teach her wholeheartedly, and never hide anything from her.
Such a master is the only one in the world.
Mu Ran looked at Shen Wanxin's expression, there was nothing unclear, she patted her shoulder and said, "Wanxin, Master will never comment at will, you do have this ability, you don't have to be modest." For me, it's something I'm proud to be able to produce an apprentice who is better at cooking than I am. ”
"You don't have to have any burden, you can take out as much ability as you can, and Master won't mind half a point. This generation is stronger than the next, so that the food can be passed down from generation to generation, if the generation is weaker than the next, then in the future, I am afraid that many people will not be able to taste the best food. ”
"In the future, if you can receive a good apprentice, you will also teach her skills as carefully as the master. Of course, the most important thing in accepting apprentices is not talent, but a pure heart, a heart that yearns to make the best food, understand? She accepted Shen Wanxin as an apprentice, not only because of her high talent, but also because of her excellent character.
"Got it, Master, I've written it down."
Shen Wanxin inexplicably felt a little sour at the corners of her eyes.
She secretly said that she will definitely be like her master in the future, and after accepting a satisfactory apprentice, she will definitely teach them with all her money, and she will never hide half of her personal interests.
Of course, after that, in the days before the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the kitchen of the War King's Mansion, under the personal command of the War Princess Mu Dye, she was busy making all kinds of moon cakes up and down.
And some of the fancy mooncakes made of these are left behind and kept for the food and distribution in the house.
Some of them are sent to the palace and various prefectures as Mid-Autumn gifts.
Needless to say, the Queen Mother, Nangong Chuli, Mei Ziqian, Gu Tassel, and relatives and friends in Zhaojia Village, Luofeng County, not only have more Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes sent by Mu Dyeing, but also have neat varieties.
It's not like sending them to other places, just picking three or four of them, and the number is not much, just a box, and there are only twelve mooncakes in it.
Of course, most of these moon cakes were made and sent to the two places of Xingchen Tower and Xingchen Gambling House as gifts.
First, it is for the benefits of VIPs in Xingchen Tower and Xingchen Casino.
Second, it is for Mu Dye to open a dim sum shop in the capital for propaganda purposes.
This is the same as the purpose of sending homemade mooncakes to various prefectures and palaces this year, all to expand publicity.
At the same time, with the three sets of dim sum patterns created by the Gu family this time, the publicity can be said to be involved in all aspects.
And Mu Dye acted like this, and everyone was naturally extremely concerned about the Xingchen Dim Sum Building that she was about to open.
In other words, the shop has not yet opened, and the nobles not only know the existence of this dim sum shop, but also know how delicious and unique the dim sum of this dim sum shop is.
In this way, once the impression is engraved into people's hearts, when her Star Dim Sum Building opens, the business will definitely develop in the direction she expected.
At this point, she believes in her own craftsmanship, and also believes that the unique variety of dim sum will definitely be welcomed.
Of course, in addition to dim sum shops, there are also restaurants, and Mu Dye Dye will also open.
As for other shops, such as the former craft shop.
Needless to say, as soon as those unique children's toys and dolls were shipped into the capital, as soon as Boss He and a few of them opened, business was booming that day.
More than a month has passed now, although there are many counterfeit products on the market, business has declined.
But a lot of money has been made, and Mu Dye is constantly designing new dolls, which is not comparable to other stores.
In this way, Boss He has already come to the Zhanwang Mansion to report to Mu Dye, and also proposed that a few more handicraft shops can be opened in the capital.
Mu Dye also felt that it was not enough to open a store on one lot on the ground in the capital.
So, she agreed to Boss He's proposal, selected suitable shops in the most prosperous areas of the capital, opened three more handicraft shops, and selected three suitable candidates to be the shopkeepers of the three newly opened handicraft stores.
After this solved the selection of the shopkeeper of the new handicraft store, Mu Dye started another thing.
That's the dim sum shop she wants to open, the decoration of the restaurant.
"Apprentice, the master has already selected two shops, this shop is going to be used by the master to make snacks, and the master of this shop is going to be used to open a restaurant. The location and size of this shop are appropriate, and the master has already gone to see it, and now it is the decoration problem, the dim sum master and the buddy problem. ”
