Chapter 284 Flower Ham Mooncake Is a Calorie Bomb?No, it's a thermal nuke! 【Subscribe】

Lao Huang will be there in a while, and Lin Xu doesn't bother to go upstairs anymore.

He stood in front of the service desk and played with Dundun while entering the system, wondering what the next special item would be.

The old saying praises a person's strength, and it is generally said that the opponent's hand is the scale and the eye is the ruler.

Now that you have obtained [Hand is the scale], then [Eye is the ruler] should be soon, right?
He clicked on the special item bar, and a line of text appeared on it:
[This page was refreshed after 719:52:35, you can refresh the page immediately after paying 5000000 points]

More than seven hundred hours?
He calculated silently, and found that it was a month later.

The waiting time for this refresh is too long, right?
Last time it was refreshed in a week, it would take [-] million points to refresh immediately, but this time it would only refresh in a month, but it only needed [-] million points.

From this point of view, the system's discount strength is simply touching.

It really... I cried to death!

Lin Xu complained about the system in his heart, and started playing in the hall with the cat teasing stick and Dundun.

Use the cat teaser to guide the little guy to jump, run, and move around.

When he was tired from playing, he ran to the service desk with his fat little butt, lay down in front of the automatic pet water dispenser Shen Jiayue bought, stuck out his scarlet tongue, and elegantly licked the clear water from the dispenser .

At this moment, Lao Huang drove a Jinbei for delivery, and slowly parked in the parking space at the door.

Not long after, the parking space opened, and he walked into the shop with a huge ham wrapped in plastic wrap on his left shoulder and a glass jar of bright red flower sauce in his right hand.

Seeing Lin Xu here, he directly put the ham and flower sauce on the service counter.

"Brother, this is what you want. The ham was sent from southern Yunnan this morning. The partner is a time-honored brand. If it doesn't taste good, you'll screw my head off."

Lin Xu: "..."

Next time, you have to call Chef Dai and your senior brother over, let these two "real people" study how to use your head, so as not to say such rascal words every time.

While muttering in his heart, he looked at the ham.

After concentrating, a line of text appeared in front of my eyes:
[High-quality Xuanwei ham made with coarse salt and pig hind legs]

Tsk, it seems that you are not talking too much.

I looked at the jar of flower sauce again, and the prompt text appeared again:

[High-quality flower sauce pickled with fresh flowers, salt and white sugar]

Not bad, not bad, no wonder Lao Huang always uses his own head to vouch for it, this quality is really nothing to say.

"This flower sauce is made by my wife. My relatives usually don't give it to me if they want it. I took half of it for you today. The mooncakes are delicious. I'm too busy to go back this year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I count on this mooncake to comfort my nostalgia. Woolen cloth."

Lin Xu patted the ham and said with a smile:

"Then I'll start making it later, and I promise I won't disappoint you and my sister-in-law... If I do it now, I think it can be done when it gets dark. Will you take the mooncakes away when you deliver the food tomorrow, or come to get them at night?"

"Tonight, I'll take your sister-in-law here for dinner when I'm done. She hasn't tasted the food here yet."

Tsk, it sounds like the couple have a good relationship.

After Lao Huang finished speaking, he saw that Shu Yun and Song Tiantian were arranging the electronic menu on the computer and didn't pay attention to this side, so he sneakily took out a transparent sealed bag from his handbag.

Through the bag, you can see a bag full of brown angular plant particles, a bit like jasmine dragon balls and other scented teas.

After taking it out, let him pass it over in a hurry, and lowered his voice to a minimum:
"Brother, take one at a time, it will work wonders!"

After Lin Xu took it, he raised his hand and patted Lin Xu's shoulder heavily, shook his head with a little regret, and turned his face towards the gate.

Lin Xu couldn't get over this regretful look.

Brother, don't act like you're attending the funeral farewell, okay?
He took a look at the moringa seeds in the bag, and didn't think there was anything strange about it, but every middle-aged man mentioned moringa seeds, and he would have that "you know" expression on his face.

"What is this, boss? Jasmine Dragon Ball?"

Seeing Lin Xu's curious face, Shu Yun thought that Lao Huang gave him some good tea.

Lin Xu took the bag and tossed it and said:
"This is Moringa seed, which is said to have the effect of tonifying the kidney. Boss Huang mysteriously recommended it on the phone just now, so I asked for some for my brother."

Working in the catering department all year round, Shu Yun has of course heard of Moringa seeds.

As soon as she heard that Boss Huang gave her the boss this thing, she gave up the idea of ​​making a cup of jasmine tea.

Lin Xu put the Moringa seeds on the service desk:
"This pack contains [-] grams. You can share it. One pack is [-] grams, and the other pack is [-] grams. The more is for my brother, and the less is for my father-in-law."

Brother should be more urgent about this thing, so give more.

As for the father-in-law, let's make some sense, so as not to turn around and complain that there are good things not left for him.

After finishing the order, he carried the [-]-jin big ham and flower sauce in one hand, and went down the stairs to the kitchen.

In front of the service desk, Song Tiantian came over curiously, looked at the bag of Moringa seeds and asked:
"Why didn't the boss keep it for himself? Did you forget?"

"Whoever is weak can use it. Do you think the boss is weak?"

Shu Yun took out a small electronic scale from the counter, which was used to pack Shaqima before, but since the pastry department used the automatic sealing machine, this small scale has no effect.

Turn on the machine and put the Moringa seeds on it.

It shows 133 grams above.

The data I told my boss was only 3 grams off.

Tsk, the boss is too powerful?It was only weighed twice, but the weight is so accurate?
"Who is useless?"

Song Tiantian grumbled, and unconsciously thought of the chubby chasing boy who rode a bicycle with her recently at night.

He is so weak that he can sweat profusely while riding a bicycle, which is just right for him to eat.

"Boss Shu... I have a friend..."

in the kitchen.

The bowl of Mapo Chicken Cake has been eaten up.

Lin Xu put a whole pipa-shaped ham on the workbench, started from the pig's trotters, and slowly tore off the layer of plastic wrap wrapped around it.

The surface of the pigskin is covered with mildew, and there is a strong musty smell, but after removing this layer of pork skin, the delicious taste will be revealed.

Xuanwei is located in the northern part of southern Yunnan, with a high altitude, and the air in winter is dry and cold.

The ham is made here, and only a small amount of salt can be used to marinate the ham, which makes the meat delicious and prevents spoilage.

Just because there is less salt, the taste of ham is very delicious. Top-grade ham can even taste fresh and sweet, which is not available in other hams.

Because if the ham from other regions is made with the same amount of salt as Xuanwei ham, it will definitely spoil and deteriorate, and flies and insects will be everywhere.

Tear off the plastic wrap, scrape off the pigskin on the surface, and then the ruddy lean meat and white fat meat of Xuanwei ham will be revealed.

The ham still maintains a soft and tender feeling, not at all like the ingredients that have been marinated for two years.

When cut with a knife, it even has the texture of cutting fresh meat.

Thinking back to the last time when the back kitchen opened the Jinhua ham, Lin Xu sighed softly:
"It's true that the same legs have different lives."

Wei Gan came over and clapped his hands twice, then said with a smile:

"This Xuanwei ham really lives up to its reputation. If Jinhua ham is shot like this, it will probably make your hands hurt."

The two kinds of ham seem to be trains running in opposite directions on the same line. The usage and eating methods are all opposite. Jinhua ham is suitable for long-term cooking such as hanging soup and stewing.

Xuanwei ham is suitable for stir-frying, steaming, and stuffing. It doesn't take too long to cook the delicious taste perfectly.

This ham weighs several tens of catties, and it must not be eaten in one sitting. Lin Xu opened half of it, cut it into large slices, cleaned it, put it on a tray, and steamed it in a steamer.

If Jinhua ham is used as the filling, it needs to be soaked for at least six hours.

However, Xuanwei ham does not need to be soaked, and it tastes just right when it is put into the stuffing.

If it is also soaked, the filling will be sweeter, without the surprise of eating salty and fresh diced meat in the sweet and greasy filling.

After steaming, Lin Xu took some all-purpose flour and started kneading the dough.

The most representative of Yunnan-style moon cakes is the hard shell moon cake, which is said to be hard shell, but in fact it is only compared to the layered meringue moon cake.

Hard-shell mooncakes are actually crispy.

But it is somewhat thicker than the puff pastry, and the texture is a little harder, so choose all-purpose flour.

If you like to eat that kind of hard and brittle shell, then choose high-gluten flour. The higher the gluten, the harder the shell will be, and the crisper it will be.

However, if you choose low-gluten flour, the outer shell of the mooncakes will have low hardness and strong crispness, and you will even have the illusion of "this outer shell is made of peach crisps" when you eat it.

Of course, although the crispness of the crust is related to the gluten of the flour, it is not absolute.

Because the amount of lard is also crucial.

Put more lard if you want it crispy, and less lard if you want it crispy.

Although many families have abandoned lard because of the concept of health, it is still widely used in dim sum, especially Chinese dim sum.

Many dim sum have even dropped to a level without lard.

In addition to all-purpose flour and lard, the dough of the flower ham mooncake also needs honey, powdered sugar and water.

The dough is proportional. For every half catty of all-purpose flour, you need 25 grams of powdered sugar, 25 grams of honey, 100 grams of lard, and 60-80 grams of water.

The proportion of water is not fixed, because the dough is closely related to air humidity, temperature, flour humidity, etc., and the amount of water cannot be strictly fixed.

A catty of flour can make about [-] moon cakes. Lin Xu mixed more than ten catties of flour at a time, and planned to make so many today. Anyway, the big oven and the small oven are useless today, and no one has ordered roast whole lamb and roast suckling pig. , can be spread out for production.

Take these ingredients and knead the flour into a non-stick dough.

With lard, this step is very simple.

Because the oil is lubricated, it is simpler than the dough made with only water.

After the dough is reconciled, put it in a basin and seal it with plastic wrap, and then send it to the refrigerator for refrigeration.

Then find a stainless steel pot that has not been fried, put it on the stove, pour flour into it, stir fry slowly over low heat, fry the flour until it turns slightly yellow, take it out and spread it out to dry.

Two kinds of flour are inseparable from the production process of Chinese pastry, one is cooked flour and the other is Chengfen.

Cooked flour is the flour that has just been fried until slightly yellow. This flour has a strong burnt aroma and a slightly sandy taste, which is very suitable for fillings.

As for chengfen, it is flour that has completely removed gluten.

This kind of flour has no gluten, so it has super malleability and plasticity. Shrimp dumplings, one of the four kings of Cantonese tea, are transparent because they use Chengfen as the skin.

At this moment, the ham has almost been steamed, take it out, and take out the ham piece by piece to dry.

As for the steamed fat in the tray, it has a strong ham aroma, which is perfect for stewing and stir-frying.

While the ham was drying, Lin Xu brought the flower sauce over and began to filter it.

The so-called flower sauce is to pick off the flowers that are about to bloom, wash them and dry them, put them in jars or jars, add sugar and a little salt for pickling.

This kind of candied flowers can not only be used as moon cakes, but also other snacks such as flower cakes, and can even be mixed with water to drink directly.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat mountains depends on the water to drink water. People in southern Yunnan spend a lot of flowers, so they choose to eat flowers.

As a northerner, Lin Xu expressed his envy.

He brought a clean basin and put it on the workbench, and put a large colander on the mouth of the basin, and then used a clean and oil-free spoon to scoop out the flower sauce in the jar and put it into the colander.

When the flower sauce is used as a filling, the sugar water inside must be filtered out, otherwise the sweetness will be too strong and the taste will be greasy, and if there is too much sugar water, the sweetness will overwhelm the fragrance of the flowers.

As for the filtered sugar water, it will not be wasted.

Later, it can be paired with taro, water chestnut, and old pumpkin to make Cantonese-style sweet soup. This kind of soup full of flower fragrance can make the children next door roll on the floor and cry.

Put the filtered flowers into the pot, and then cut the ham into soybean-sized diced meat.

Stir well first to mix the two ingredients, then add honey, lard, cooked flour, white sugar, and maltose, and continue to stir until the filling is thick.

Then put it in the freezer for freezing to freeze the filling so that it won't stick to your hands when you make it later.

Half an hour later, the stuffing was brought out. The sticky stuffing had been frozen, and the sticky feeling had been reduced a lot.

Lin Xu dug out a ball of stuffing with his hands, kneaded it into a ball and put it on the tray, and then started kneading the next one.

"Boss, why don't you use an electronic scale? Are you afraid of uneven size?"

Ji Minghui, who came to help, saw Lin Xu doing this, and felt absurd as if a professional player met Ye Luzi.

He has made a lot of Soviet-style dim sum in Building No. [-], and he knows that weighing is a very important step in the production of dim sum. From the beginning of the ingredients, all the flour, sugar, oil and other ingredients to be used need to be weighed.

And in the process of making.

Puff pastry, oil skin, stuffing, etc., all need to be weighed one by one to ensure uniform size.

In this way, the filling can be perfectly wrapped when it is wrapped, and it can be matured and consistent when baked.

Lin Xu rubbed his heart quickly and said:
"If you get used to it, you can control the size."

Ji Minghui didn't believe it, so he secretly weighed a few with an electronic scale, and found that they were all the same weight, with an error of about two or three grams.

Now he is really convinced.

In the past, everyone always praised Boss Hong's skillful skills and delicious cooking.

Now that Ji Minghui saw Lin Xu's quick method of distributing the fillings, he realized that the boss's talent in the white case should not be inferior to the red case, or even higher than the red case.

When others want to divide the stuffing in this way, they usually knead the stuffing into long strips first, then divide them evenly according to the length, and finally knead the stuffing into balls.

And the boss just dug the stuffing out of the pot and started to dry it, which is simply amazing.

Over the years, I have seen Qiu Zhenhua's uncle Qiu Minghai do this.

I didn't expect to see such a god-level performance again today.

admire!

Ji Minghui looked at Lin Xu like an idol, his eyes full of admiration.

This talent is really enviable.

Keep the rubbed filling in the freezer, the firmer the freeze, the easier it is to pack.

After Lin Xu finished making the stuffing, he brought over the loosened noodles. After kneading again, he kneaded the dough into long strips, and then grabbed it with the part of the tiger's mouth, and quickly pulled it into individual noodles.

After picking it up, rub it quickly with your hands, and these noodles will become small balls one by one.

After placing in the tray, cover with plastic wrap again to relax.

After another half an hour, bring the stuffing heart over, first take a ball of dough and flatten it, then pinch a stuffing heart and place it in the middle, wrap the dough together, and a biscuit is ready.

Place the biscuits in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and press down a little.

Then take the Linji Gourmet hand stamps that Geng Lele carved last time when he had nothing to do, wash them, dip them in the beetroot juice, and stamp the stamps on the cakes one by one.

Finally, the oven is preheated, and these mooncakes are put in for baking.

After the mooncakes were baked, it was almost time for dinner.

While baking mooncakes, Lin Xu took out his mobile phone and sent messages to his father-in-law and other relatives and friends, inviting everyone to come to the store for dinner.

There are still some chicken cakes left, and he doesn't plan to sell them, so let's just give them a try, and give each person a few mooncakes by the way.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and we have to get up the festive atmosphere.

After sending the message, Lin Xu packed up his phone and went to make Mapo Chicken Cake.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Chen Yan and Dou Wenjing drove to the door of the store respectively. After getting off the car, they ran into Shen Jiayue and Zeng Xiaoqi who came from the TV station.

Several people came to the store together.

Seeing Shu Yun at the door, Chen Yan felt guilty, and then said with a smile:

"I didn't expect Mr. Shu to start eating tomatoes to lose weight."

Shu Yun smiled:
"I can't help it. I want to lose weight... There are delicious dishes in the store this afternoon. Don't hold back your stomach and eat more, because you may not know when you will eat next time."

When she said this, Zeng Xiaoqi, who originally planned to share her experience in losing weight, suddenly lost her mind, and her mind was full of thoughts about what kind of food this is.

Come upstairs.

Lin Xu, who had just oiled the chicken cakes, took the baking tray out of the oven, and the whole big plate of Yunnan-style mooncakes looked craving.

Seeing these noodles, the girls couldn't take their eyes off immediately.

"Wow, what a beautiful cake!"

"Yeah, it looks crispy!"

"The surface looks dry, so there should be no oil?"

"Without fat, there are no calories, so feel free to eat."

"..."

Shen Baobao jumped to Lin Xu's side, raised his hand to wrap Lin Xu's waist:

"Xu Bao, are these cakes the surprise you gave me?"

"No, I just made some flower ham mooncakes at random, and the surprise for you hasn't been made yet."

Moon cakes are very common and cannot be considered a surprise.

Mapo Chicken Cake is a surprise dish that is completely unavailable in the market.

"Flower Ham Mooncake?"

As soon as Chen Yan heard it, she immediately picked one up. It wasn't too hot. She put it in her mouth and blew it before taking a bite. The crispy outer skin and the filling full of floral fragrance and fat inside made her feel excited all over:
"Wow! Isn't this really delicious? Try it all, it's really delicious!"

Zeng Xiaoqi, the most honest among them, was still thinking about losing weight. She looked at the place where Chen Yan bit open, and asked hesitantly:
"Mooncakes should be high in calories, right?"

Chen Yan said:

"It's not too high. Flowers have no calories. Fermented ham has no calories. Although flour is carbohydrates, the amount is not very large. Eat it, it's not a calorie bomb."

Lin Xu wanted to laugh seeing his sister-in-law's deceitful posture.

If this was a crutch seller, he would definitely be able to fool Director Zeng into lameness.

Zeng Xiaoqi looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Isn't this mooncake really a calorie bomb?"

Seeing her eagerness to try, Lin Xu smiled and said:

"No."

After finishing speaking, I silently added in my heart:
"It's not a bomb, it's a nuclear bomb!"

This mooncake contains fatty lard, ham and candied flowers, as well as high-calorie ingredients such as powdered sugar, maltose, and flour.

Added together, the heat is definitely at the level of a nuclear bomb.

Even among mooncakes, the calories of Yunnan-style mooncakes should be far away... No, the custard mooncakes to be made tomorrow are also at the level of nuclear bombs.

Dundun's craftsmanship is really good, the two calorie bombs in the mooncakes have all been drawn....

Just as he was feeling emotional, Lin Xu saw that his sister-in-law had already eaten half of the mooncakes, and she was looking into the baking tray, obviously planning to make another one.

Looking at this picture of her eating, and thinking of Dundun's angry look during the lottery draw, Lin Xu couldn't help but a thought popped into his mind:
This little guy got two kinds of mooncake fillings with the highest calorie content these two times. Could it be that he used this kind of calorie bomb to revenge his sister-in-law?
If this is the case... the custard mooncakes to be made tomorrow are also a nuclear bomb baptism for Mr. Chen, and I don't know if she is ready to gain three catties during the festive season...

"Wow, this mooncake is really delicious!"

Although this was not a surprise prepared for herself, Shen Jiayue was still very excited.

Because the taste and texture of these mooncakes are really unexpected.

The outer skin is slightly hard, but it is crispy to the bite. As for the filling inside, the flower sauce has a strong floral fragrance, and the diced ham is salty and delicious.

The intertwining of two flavors under the action of sugar and lard is simply charming.

Especially the smell of flowers, close your eyes, as if you are taking a flower bath.

Lin Xu said:

"This is the most representative hard-shell mooncake among Yunnan-style mooncakes. I'll make some crispy ones later, and I'll give you a taste."

"Okay, thank you Xu Bao, you have a bite too, it's super delicious."

Lin Xu took a bite and tasted it. It tasted really good. With so much lard in it, he didn't feel greasy at all. The Yunnan-style mooncake really lived up to its reputation.

However, the Cantonese style is also exciting.

Tomorrow morning, we will start making custard mooncakes!
--------

I like to eat custard mooncakes, and I also like to eat flower ham mooncakes, but for diabetics, these two kinds of mooncakes can make blood sugar soar a lot, so I can only think about it... This chapter is 6100 words, asking for a monthly ticket Ah brothers!
