The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 577 Dragon Boat Festival ([-])

The zongzi that Su Yunduo brought, although they were very small, brought five of each flavor.

I had originally planned to ask for opinions after the tasting, and then adjust the filling ratio appropriately according to everyone's opinions. After listening to Mrs. Lu's words, I can't wait to ask for it.

Su Yunduo asked Mrs. Lu and Madam Wu to save one of each flavor of perilla to taste, and asked Cuizhu to bring the others down for everyone to taste, and then specifically grabbed Cuizhu to explain a few words.

Cuizhu collected everyone's opinions and returned to the banquet hall, and it was as expected.

Before reminding everyone, almost no one can taste the mint juice in the jam. It can be seen that the amount of mint juice added is still a little less, and it has not achieved the expected effect.

Red bean dumplings and pickled meat dumplings are also very popular.

Don't underestimate the red bean dumpling, the stuffing inside is boiled red beans crushed into fine sand and then mixed with honey. It took a lot of effort.

Of course, if you have to choose one of the two, most people choose pickled vegetable and meat dumplings. The dumplings are salty and delicious, and they are really delicious. However, some people suggest that if they can be added a little more spicy, it will be more delicious.

Sure enough, the spicy ones are more popular, but this batch of mini dumplings is specially made by Su Yunduo for Su Zerui and Mrs. Lu, so naturally they are not spicy.

With the opinions and suggestions from people like He Anju, plus his own experience after tasting, Su Yunduo has a better idea of ​​how to prepare the stuffing.

When Su Chengzhi and his son returned home from business or school, Su Yunduo brought out the cooks who had made several large baskets of zongzi, one basket of almost every flavor, plus a few smaller baskets of miniature zongzi.

There are several pots of large and small zongzi cooking on the stove in the kitchen, and the air is filled with the fragrance of zongzi leaves.

This time Su Yunduo not only made triangular zongzi and mini zongzi, but also some pillow zongzi, which were not big, basically the size of a baby's fist.

Different flavors of zongzi are still distinguished by different silk threads, the black line is pickled meat zongzi, the red line is red bean zongzi, the white line is jam zongzi, the green line is red date zongzi, the yellow line is egg yolk zongzi, the black and white line is pork rib zongzi, the yellow and white zongzi The thread is alkali rice dumpling, which is not wrapped much and there is no filling inside.

Although Su Yunduo really wanted to make some more fillings, after thinking about it, she finally gave up. Just these seven kinds of zongzi made her and all the cooks and handy maids in the house busy for a whole day.

After the zongzi were cooked, it was necessary to send some to the eldest room. When the first room received the zongzi, [-]% to [-]% of the zongzi in the mansion had been wrapped. After tasting the zongzi sent by the second room, Mrs. Shi was surprised and happy, and hurriedly shouted The cooks stopped making zongzi first, and took the cooks to the second room to learn the scriptures. After returning home, they hurriedly learned how to make some stuffed zongzi and sent some to their natal family, several daughter-in-law’s natal families, and daughter-in-law’s family. It has won unanimous praise.

With the zongzi being sent to various places by Su’s Dafang and Erfang, the small and exquisite triangular zongzi, smaller mini zongzi and zongzi with various fillings have been spread one after another. To make such beautiful and delicious dumplings.

Of course, these are things for later, so I won’t show them for the time being.

In two days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

The Dragon Boat Festival holiday in Dongling Country was held for three days in a row, and those who worked on errands and entered school began to have a holiday the day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

The dragon boat race in Mozi Lake will start on time at the beginning of the Dragon Boat Festival, but because of the five-day temple fair, the Mozi Lake has been bustling since the day before the holiday.

Seeing that the Mozi Lake Temple Fair was about to open, Su Yunduo learned from Ning Huaan, who delivered the letter from the capital, that the Ning family had set up a stall at the temple fair, and planned to sell some snacks such as melon seeds and dried meat.

Su Yunduo thought it was a good idea, but after asking about the booth fee, he was a little worried.

The Ning family's stall is not a random roadside stall, but a regular stall at the temple fair, so the stall fee is not considered low. If they only sell melon seeds and dried meat, even if they don't use credit, they may not make much money.

Of course, it can’t be said that there is no gain, at least it can increase the popularity of Ning’s grocery store, and Uncle Ning’s goal is for this purpose. Of course, if you can add a few more fresh snacks, it will be even more beautiful if you can earn some money. In the past few days, the Ning family is also thinking about making a few snacks that are unique to Yanshan Mansion and selling them together.

"My father said that it doesn't matter whether it makes money or not. If more people can know about our Ning's groceries through this temple, it can be regarded as a promotion. Of course, it would be great if we can make money." Ning Huaan laughed , winked at Su Yunduo and said: "Today, I tasted the zongzi made by my cousin. It is beautiful and delicious. If I can make some small zongzi like this and put them on sale at the stall, many people will buy them!"

Su Yunduo glanced at Ning Hua'an, thinking that he was trying to fight for the Ning family on purpose, but found that he just said it unintentionally, so he couldn't help but fell silent in his heart.Ning Hua'an is really a pity.

You can say that he is a businessman, but he has the acumen of a businessman, but he doesn't have the heart to do business. His innate acuity is really in vain!
It is indeed a good idea to sell all kinds of small and exquisite rice dumplings at the temple fair, but Su Yunduo has better snacks here.

As early as the Ning family rented the shop in Yangjiaji, Su Yunduo began to think about new snacks, and it really reminded her of two things, that is spicy sticks and fried potato chips in the previous life.

It's just because I was busy making zongzi after returning from Yangjiaji, but I didn't have the time to try these two kinds of snacks.

Since the Ning family is going to set up a stall at the temple fair, they have to try it quickly. If they can launch it at the temple fair in time, maybe the new snack can be popular in the capital without any effort.

Fried potato chips are relatively simple. Just wash the potatoes and cut them into long strips with the thickness of chopsticks. After slightly washing off the excess starch on the surface, control the water, pour them into a high-temperature oil pan and deep-fry them thoroughly, and then follow the instructions of each person. Sprinkle some homemade salt and pepper powder, cumin powder, and chili powder for taste, but this is suitable for eating right after frying. The longer the fried potato chips are left, the taste will be far worse.

I don't know if there is an oil pan in the temple fair?
Su Yunduo thought about it for a while and decided to forget it. It's good to eat it now, let's not talk about keeping it secret, and it's hard to guarantee safety. If there is a safety accident, it's really not worth the candle.

Let's focus on spicy strips!

However, the production of spicy strips is much more complicated.

Most of the spicy strips sold in the past life were made of flour and various additives, but the main ingredients of the spicy strips that Su Yunduo wanted to make were soy products, or bean curd skin or yuba.

It’s just that the production of soy products in Dongling Country is not well developed, and ready-made tofu skin and yuba are not available in the market. If you want to make bean spicy strips, you need to make tofu skin or yuba first.

Considering the limited time, Su Yunduo decided to try to make spicy noodles with flour first, but it is a pity that the noodle products have not been extruded and puffed by an extruder at high temperature, even if they are fried, the final product is not the same as imagined.

After several trials, I finally returned to the original point.

Fortunately, soy milk and tofu are made every day in the mansion. When the cook was making soy milk and tofu, Su Yunduo took the opportunity to fish out a few pieces of tofu skin and tried to make spicy strips. Unexpectedly, not only the production was successful, but also the appearance and taste were not good. Generally good.
