Smelling the aroma of [fresh meat mooncakes], Zhao Jinmai took away Liu Yifei's dishonest hand, got up and pushed her over curiously.

"This is a fresh meat mooncake?"

She stretched her neck curiously, looked at the puff pastry mooncakes that had been baked slightly yellow on the tray, and exclaimed: "It smells so fragrant!" ”

Wu Lei couldn't wait, rubbed his hands and asked Li Yi, "Can you eat Brother Yi?" Is it cooked? ”

"Don't worry."

Li Yi said casually while turning over the moon cakes: "The fresh meat moon cakes have to be baked on both sides to be thoroughly baked, so wait a while!" ”

With that, he sent the turned mooncakes back to the oven.

"It's so fragrant."

Wu Lei swallowed his saliva vigorously and sighed: "It feels like I'm back in the magic capital, there should be a lot of people queuing up to buy moon cakes at this time." ”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and filmed the [Fresh Meat Mooncakes] in the oven, while saying in Modu dialect: "Mom, look, Brother Yi made fresh meat mooncakes for us to eat, they are delicious!" ”

After a while, a reply message prompt came from Wu Lei's mobile phone.

Wu Lei clicked on the reply voice, and his mother's voice came out of the mobile phone: "See, why is it oven-baked?" The fresh meat mooncakes in Guangming Estate are all fried in a pan! The oven-baked skin is not delicious! ”

Without waiting for Li Yi to answer, Wu Lei opened his mouth and replied: "I like to eat baked in the oven!" I always buy Taikang food at home, and the skin in Guangming Estate is too oily. ”

Listening to the conversation between Wu Lei and his mother, Zhao Jinmai asked curiously: "Can moon cakes still be fried?" ”

"That's right!"

Wu Lei nodded: "The fresh meat mooncakes in Guangming Village are fried in a pan, a bit like the method of raw frying, Brother Yi must know, right, Brother Yi?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his face to ask Li Yi for confirmation.

"Hmm."

Li Yi looked at the moon cakes in the oven and explained: "The fresh meat moon cakes in the magic capital are mainly divided into these two factions, the traditional frying oven pie and the current oven pie.

The traditional frying oven pie is to use a pan to fry and grill, such as Guangming Village, and the old shops in Lao Dachang use a pan to fry and grill.

This method is more like raw frying, its puff pastry is not too heavy, and the taste is soft and glutinous, and the older generation of Modu people prefer to eat this.

The oven pie is closer to the Western-style pastry practice, such as Taikang and the boss of the West District, which are all baked in the oven.

The puff pastry baked in the oven will be fluffier and will fall off the slag as soon as you bite into it.

And because the inside of the oven is sealed, the moisture is not easy to lose, so the fresh meat mooncakes baked in the oven will have more soup.

"Yes, the oven is crispier."

Wu Lei nodded and agreed: "But my mother and their generation of old demons prefer to eat fried food, and they think that fried food is more authentic."

Every year in the first half of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many old devil uncles and aunts queuing up to buy fried fresh meat mooncakes, and Guangming Estate and Lao Dachang have to queue up for a long time every time.

Especially in Guangming Estate, it is common to queue for four or five hours, or even seven or eight hours.

Some uncles ran to line up at four or five o'clock before dawn in the morning. ”

Zhao Jinmai was surprised when he heard it: "This is too exaggerated, right?" ”

"It's normal, we're all used to it."

Wu Lei said with a smile: "If I told you that if you went to Guangming Estate to buy fresh meat mooncakes, you could still meet scalpers, wouldn't you be even more surprised?" ”

"Scalpers?"

At this time, even Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei were taken aback: "There are still scalpers to buy moon cakes?" ”

"Of course."

Wu Lei spread his hands: "Not everyone has time to queue for seven or eight hours to buy moon cakes, so if you don't want to queue up, you can find scalpers to buy them!" ”

Huang Xiaoming asked curiously: "How much does it cost to find a scalper?" ”

"At peak times, you might get two hundred dollars a box."

Wu Lei explained: "The normal price of Guangming Estate is 6 yuan for a fresh meat mooncake, a box of 10, that is, 60 yuan, and each person is limited to four boxes.

Those scalpers will line up to buy four boxes, and sell them for one hundred and two, or one hundred and five thousand boxes, so that they can earn two or three hundred in one queue, and two times a day, there will be five or six hundred. ”

"That's making money!"

Zhao Jinmai exclaimed: "I want to queue up when I hear it." ”

"It's hard-earned money, too."

Li Yi said with a smile: "If you stand in line once, you have to stand for several hours, if it is the peak period, you have to stand for seven or eight hours in line, and ordinary people can't hold on." ”

"yes, it's hard."

Wu Lei nodded and said: "So during the peak period, I also asked my mother to buy mooncakes sold by scalpers, although they are a little expensive, but they can save a lot of time." ”

Zhao Jinmai listened with fascination: "How delicious does that have to be?" Would you rather wait in line for seven or eight hours to buy and eat? ”

"Hmm... Wouldn't it be nice to let Brother Yi make something for you to taste? ”

Wu Lei smiled at Li Yi and asked, "Brother Yi, will you use a frying oven to roast?" ”

"What's wrong with that?"

Li Yi said with a smile: "The frying oven doesn't have much technical content, it's just a waste of time, bake a pot out, at least twenty or thirty minutes, and the number of one pot is relatively limited, so there will be such a long queue."

The oven is more trouble-free, you can bake a lot at a time, and you don't need to stare at the pot, you just need to set the time and turn it over when it's time.

If you want to eat the pan-fried, then wrap a little more and fry it on that pan. ”

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to the baking tray from which he had just made white buns.

This baking tray is also very useful as a pan to bake [fresh meat mooncakes].

"Okay!"

Zhao Jinmai nodded happily, and after listening to Wu Lei's description, she was full of curiosity about the fried [fresh meat mooncakes], and wanted to try the fried pie and the grilled pie, what was the difference between eating.

Bite!

The oven rang out.

The next moment, Wu Lei rushed out.

"Cooked, cooked!"

He quickly grabbed a plate and stood in front of the oven.

"Stay away, don't get hot."

Li Yi reminded while putting on heat-insulating gloves and opened the oven door.

A fragrance that was even stronger than just now poured out and spread out.

Suck!

Wu Lei took a deep breath and spread his hands in enjoyment: "Heaven! ”

Syllable!

His plate sank slightly, and a puff pastry mooncake landed on the plate.

Hurrying to maintain his balance, he withdrew his plate and blew his head anxiously, trying to make the temperature drop quickly.

Master Cai came over with a camera and took a close-up.

In the live broadcast room, the audience watched the steaming [fresh meat mooncakes] and chatted with a barrage.

"It doesn't look like a mooncake, does it?"

"In our case, it's called a baked cake."

"Meat filling, puff pastry, nothing wrong, it's puff pastry."

"Respecting the eating habits of various places, Brother Yi said that there are many ways to make moon cakes, and puff pastry is just one of them."

"It's delicious to look at! The skin is visible to the naked eye. ”

"Such a fluffy puff pastry, saying it has soup in it? How can I not believe it? ”

Wu Lei was blowing while watching the barrage.

found that someone questioned the soup in the [Fresh Meat Mooncake], so he put the plate on the desk and said to the camera: "This kind of fresh meat mooncake really has soup in it, don't believe me to open it for you to see." ”

As he spoke, he touched the moon cake with his hand, and after feeling that the temperature was no longer so hot, he pinched both sides with his hand and broke it hard.

The outer layer of puff pastry is extremely fluffy, like sandy soil mixed with water and sun-dried, and it will break open when touched.

However, it has a more flexible layer of oily skin on the inside, which wraps the meat filling inside.

When the oily skin is broken, a bright stream of gravy water gushes out with a rich aroma.

"See? See? ”

Wu Lei shouted excitedly: "Is it good to bub with oil?" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't wait to stuff half of it into his mouth, and chewed it while sighing, and his mouth was vague: "It's so hot!" It smells so good! ”

Zhao Jinmai watched from the side, swallowed his saliva, picked up the plate, and ran behind Li Yi: "Brother Yi, get me one, and Sister Yifei's!" ”
