Ask who to say with the meal
It's another public holiday. Tang Yuan threw the garbage into the sorted trash can at the back door, and saw Yu Jianguo sneaking into the next door, carrying a canvas bag in his hand.
During this time, he was also familiar with the two brothers of the Yu family, and even Yu Jianping, who was not smiling, was also figured out by him, he was just a little slow to heat.
When they met occasionally, Tang Yuan could also call him "Uncle Jianping", and Yu Jianping could also pull out a smile or two.
Not to mention Yu Jianguo, he was happy all day long, there was no shelf at all, and after the misunderstanding was solved, he would go to Tang Yuan from time to time to forage for food.
I've never seen it like this today. Tang Yuan was afraid that something would happen, so he familiarly pushed open the back door next door and entered the Yu family's restaurant.
Different from the solemnity and magnificence of the palace walls and pavilions of the peripheral buildings, the antique flavor of the wooden buildings is retained, and with the dim and warm lighting, there is an illusion of traveling back to ancient times in a second.
There was a faint sound in the back kitchen, Tang Yuan slowed down his steps and quietly stepped forward to investigate.
Yu Jianping was squatting on the ground and tapping the utensils attentively, but Yu Jianguo, who had just come in, was nowhere to be seen.
Not good β
Tang Yuan was shocked in his heart, it was too late to turn around.
A gloomy voice rang in his ears: "What are you looking at?" β
After living for twenty-four years, Tang Yuan experienced the feeling of being grabbed for the first time.
The two brothers of the Yu family sat on the ground facing him, and the two of them looked at him together.
Tang Yuan glanced at Yu Jianguo, who couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes, and straightened his waist: "I followed Uncle Jianguo in......" He thought that the two brothers had quarreled, otherwise Yu Jianguo's expression was strange.
I couldn't help but ask, "What did you bring?" His eyes glanced at the eco-friendly bag that he had been holding in his hand and holding on his lap.
I saw that Yu Jianguo went to the kitchen to get the tableware first, returned to the table, put it in the middle, took out a big box from the white bag, opened it, and turned out to be a big round cake???
Tang Yuan couldn't believe his eyes, and a huge blessing word was printed on this piece of Huang Tongtong's big cake. From a distance, it looks like a thinned American apple pie.
Yu Jianping was still well-informed, and said calmly: "It's a moon cake." β
Whose mooncakes look like this? Could it be that he was bullied for not reading much??
"There are not many people who can make this kind of Zhangzhou moon cake now, who gave it to you?" The skin is smooth, showing a translucent yellow, and it is a burst of fragrance when you get closer, and it is the best of the best. It's just that this ancient craft is probably not liked by modern young people.
Yu Jianguo smiled proudly: "Ah Jian did it." β
I talked to the girl on the phone last night, and Ah Jian asked him how the two mooncakes tasted. He was also surprised how his girl could even make old-school mooncakes, and when he asked, he found out that it was recorded by the old man.
I have to say that the old man of his family does have something extraordinary, and he has not seen him go far on weekdays, but he has a thorough understanding of Chinese cuisine, and he can innovate himself.
Yu Jianguo explained: "In the old man's book, Ah Jian is also doing it for the first time. Send me two pieces and let me give you a taste. Glancing at Tang Yuan again, "It's cheap, you kid." β
If you don't come early or late, you have to wait for him to come with moon cakes, like roundworms in his stomach.
As soon as the knife cut through the dough, it revealed the yellow and purple filling, mixed with a little white, like beautiful granite.
Tang Yuan only needs a little bit, and he has always been shallow about unfamiliar things.
The crust is loose but not collapsed, the filling is glutinous but not connected, and the crunchy crust echoes the fresh aroma of taro paste egg yolk......
"It's a human delicacy!" Tang Yuan wiped his mouth and sighed, regretting that he only knew that there was such a delicacy so late.
"I'll take the rest with you." Yu Jianping saw the desire in his eyes, knocked on the plate, put it back into the box with food, closed the lid and stuffed it back into the canvas bag.
This little old man is really stingy-
...... Arjan Is it Uncle Jianguo's daughter? I have heard him talk about it several times, and I heard that I am going to take the college entrance examination this year, so I came to Beijing University.
To have such a good craft, he has to get to know it well.
Woman, you've managed to get my attentionβ
It is impossible to get Yu Jianping to take out the moon cakes again. Anyway, as long as Uncle Jianguo's daughter comes to the capital, there will be opportunities in the future, so why fight for this overnight.
"I also baked a stove of mooncakes there, try it?" It is difficult to get rid of the current guests, and Rao is a person like Tang Yuan who has an active mind and has the courage to innovate can't bear it.
In the restaurant's official account, there are customers shouting all day long: "Hurry up and let your chef come up with new dishes!" β
Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, someone left a message: "Lantingxuan has a fresh flavor of moon cakes, I don't even want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival when I eat ordinary moon cakes." β
There are crazy likes at the bottom, and some people echo it.
Tang Yuan thought about it and was ready to improve a new dish that was originally going to be served and make it into moon cakes first.
Wellington Steak Mooncakes, marinate fresh beef, cut into rounds, pan over medium heat, and fry for 30 seconds on each side. Then coat with mustard and let cool.
Tang Yuan uses the traditional French method of boiling mushrooms, thyme and black pepper together, stirring constantly to evaporate the water.
Spread ham on the plastic wrap, then spread the mushroom sauce, and finally stacked the beef, and almost went wrong when making the moon cake filling, Tang Yuan tried several times before wrapping the beef into a perfect circle.
The finished puff pastry is coated with egg wash, put on the beef that has been frozen for 30 minutes, and gently press around to cover the mouth. Then put it into a mooncake mold to press out the shape, put it in the oven and bake it three times.
In fact, it is essentially the same as the method of Wellington steak, except that the mooncake is Cantonese puff pastry, and the baked mooncake is oily and shiny, and against the white plate, it really looks like a full moon in the sky.
Yu Jianguo didn't know how to start, so he simply took a big bite like eating ordinary moon cakes.
The skin is crispy with glutinousness, the black pepper flavor spreads in the mouth, the meat is full of juice, and the meat is tender...... It's so beautiful......
Yu Jianguo swallowed a whole mooncake in two or three bites, and burped contentedly.
Yu Jianping also finished eating most of it, and he always chewed slowly when he tasted new things, and he could eat the essence of it. He squeezed the half-moon cake in his hand and poured it onto the plate, and the meat cake was squeezed and there were droplets of water, and when he let go, the water droplets were absorbed into the meat layer again.
Not bad! He wanted to see Tang Yuan's eyes with a new light, this kid had an amazing talent for cooking.
He and Ah Jian are simply two weights on the scale, one on the left and one on the right, and it is still unknown which is more important.
He was instantly a little excited, and couldn't wait to see how many surprises these two young people could bring him.
