Chapter 102: Glutinous Rice Cakes
"No, no, no, I think the reputation of Sijichun is good."
Uncle Wu denied, "I want to learn from Sijichun to make a reputation, because my mother is now sick in bed, and the biggest obsession before dying is to let the name of the shop that was once in the capital spread in the town, I saw that Sijichun is famous, so I want to ask how I can do it." β
If the taste is not good, Uncle Wu can go and invite someone, and he has invited a lot of people in another way, but it is still mediocre.
The problem of site selection, he once thought that he had chosen the wrong place, until he transferred this to ginger tea and went to other places to find out that the store is bigger and stronger, and the location really only accounts for a small part of the reason, or it depends on the actual operation.
"Dare to ask what is the name of the pastry shop that Uncle Wu opened in the capital before?" Jiang Cha asked.
"Daoxiang Village." Uncle Wu replied.
When this name was mentioned, Sheng Nanqi happened to be outside the private room, and he walked in.
"Why are you here?" Ginger Tea was puzzled.
Sheng Nanqi suddenly asked, "Daoxiang Village, is it the Daoxiang Village that is famous for making glutinous rice cakes?" β
"Exactly." Uncle Wu's eyes lit up, he pointed to Sheng Nanqi and looked at the ginger tea, "Dare to ask who this is......"
"My fiancΓ©-kun." Jiang Cha affectionately grabbed his wrist and showed his sovereignty.
"It turned out to be another boss in this four seasons of spring, and he was not welcomed." Uncle Wu wanted to stand up and make a move.
His courtesy was stopped by Jiang Cha, "Uncle Wu, you don't have to be so polite. β
Seeing that Sheng Nanqi was quite concerned about this pastry shop, Jiang Cha thought for a while and said, "That's it, Uncle Wu, I will write down your matter first, my restaurant was also transferred to me cheaply by you at the beginning, you have a request, I will definitely help if I can, and when I think of a specific way to help you, I will go to you, how about it?" β
"Really?" Uncle Wu was overjoyed.
He was passing by and curious, but he didn't expect to get the promise of ginger tea's help.
"It's true, Uncle Wu is free in the future, and he is also welcome to come to us as a guest in the Four Seasons Spring." Jiang Cha said enthusiastically.
"Then thank you Boss Jiang." Uncle Wu was overjoyed.
Seeing off Uncle Wu, only Jiang Cha and Sheng Nanqi were left in the private room.
Jiang Cha knew that Sheng Nanqi had not revealed his preferences much on weekdays, but he didn't expect that the other party still had a well-known pastry shop in the capital and remembered the extra detailed pastries, "It turns out that you like glutinous rice cakes." β
"It's just a memory from my youth." Sheng Nanqi had a little memory in his eyes.
Since he opened his mouth that night, he has been less and less shy about Jiang Cha about himself.
However, he still did not fully identify himself.
"You didn't say it sooner!" Ginger tea misplaced the point, "Glutinous rice cakes, I will also make them!" β
As if he didn't admit defeat, Jiang Cha rolled his eyes and said, "You wait for me here for a while, I'll go back to the kitchen and make this pastry for you to taste, and see how much I can score in your heart." β
It just so happens that I don't know what new pastries have been launched recently, if Sheng Nanqi likes it, glutinous rice cakes can occupy a place.
Without waiting for Sheng Nanqi to reply, Jiang Cha slipped into his small kitchen.
She opened the secret realm and checked the ingredients that could be used to make glutinous rice cakes in the warehouse.
Glutinous rice cake is just a general term, and there are many flavors under the name, such as yam glutinous rice cake, purple potato glutinous rice cake, sweet potato glutinous rice cake, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, sesame pumpkin glutinous rice cake, etc.
Because of the moderate sweetness and saltiness, ginger tea is made with sesame pumpkin flavor.
She prepared delicate and lovely black and white sesame seeds, then stewed pumpkin, then boiled glutinous rice flour and carefully kneaded it into a palm-sized dough. After the pumpkin is boiled, ginger tea stirs it with brown sugar and fills it into the dough, and then presses these delicate and lovely doughs into dough cakes for steaming.
After baking, sprinkle black and white sesame seeds, and suddenly, the rich sesame aroma accompanied by the sweet pumpkin fragrance fills the whole kitchen.
Whether it is pumpkin or glutinous rice flour is the best ingredient, ginger tea tried one, the soft glutinous sweet and glutinous taste made her index finger move, because the filling is rich so the taste is delicate, people want to eat it.
There were six of them, and after eating one, she carefully selected three of the remaining cakes and fried them until golden brown on both sides.
The fried glutinous rice cakes are crispy on the surface and soft on the inside, and the deliciousness has risen by several indices again.
Offering treasures, he brought these five glutinous rice cakes to Sheng Nanqi, and Jiang Cha said excitedly, "Come and taste it." β
Sheng Nanqi saw her excited appearance, and he didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, so he picked one up with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The fragrance of sesame seeds and the sweetness of pumpkin are just right, and the glutinous rice is flexible and richly layered, which is one of the best glutinous rice cakes that Sheng Nanqi has ever tasted.
"How?" Ginger tea excitedly waited for evaluation.
"No one can compare to what you do." Sheng Nanqi said.
"What, I'm still very confident, and I don't think you're very amazing." Ginger tea was a little frustrated.
"It's not that it's not amazing." Sheng Nanqi felt that her appearance was a little funny, "Your craftsmanship is already outstanding, I dare to say that this glutinous rice cake must be better than the one in the capital, but ......"
Sheng Nanqi's eyes had a look that ginger tea couldn't understand.
"But how?" Jiang Cha urged him to finish.
"But there are some things that don't taste good or bad to say." Sheng Nanqi put the glutinous rice cake back in its place, and said thoughtfully, "Uncle Wu's mother, I really want to meet for a while when I'm free." β
"Looking for a taste of memory?" Jiang Cha touched his nose, "But aren't people already out of taste?" β
Speaking of which, Jiang Cha remembered that Uncle Wu mentioned that the shop had to close down because of the middle of the family, and seeing Sheng Nanqi's nostalgic look, I don't know what past this shop had with Sheng Nanqi before.
Thinking that it might be one of the few happy things that happened to Sheng Nanqi when he was a child, Jiang Cha instantly felt pity again.
She patted Sheng Nanqi's hand and said comfortingly, "It's okay, if you really want to taste the taste at that time, it's a big deal for me to ask how you did it." β
Even if the sense of taste fails, as long as you remember the recipe, ginger tea has the confidence to replicate that taste.
How could Sheng Nanqi not know that this was Jiang Cha caring about himself, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Although I want to say that I don't need to, I understand your heart here." β
The glutinous rice cake incident is a small episode.
The next day, Jiang Cha thought of some ideas to reorganize the store, and just wanted to go to Daoxiangzhai to actually investigate the situation, but as soon as he went out, he was stopped by other pastry shop owners outside.
"Oh, Boss Jiang, are you going out?"
Jiang Cha didn't expect so many people to squat outside the restaurant, and he was a little confused for a while, "Is there something wrong?" β
Among the many pastry shops, the most famous is a century-old pastry shop in the town called Cai Zhi Zhai.
His boss is regarded as the leader to negotiate with Jiang Cha, "That's the case, I want to discuss with you about this consignment recently, I don't know if Boss Jiang is free now?" β
