"The famous lotus flower cake, I actually saw it in real life!"

"It's not uncommon to see them. The key is that it's hard to find a few of them on the whole Internet with such a high value."

"That's right, the petals of the lotus cake made by the boss are really stretched out in place, which is much better than those made of flowering steamed buns on the Internet."

In front of the booth on the second floor, everyone watched the lotus cakes on the table, but no one tasted them.

It's so beautiful, it's too beautiful to swallow.

So everyone took pictures over and over again, posted them on Moments, and posted news on the topic, so that everyone could see the lotus cake made by their boss.

Shen Baobao sat in the crowd and wanted Lin Xu to teach him how to do it.

But thinking about the difficulty of this delicacy, he immediately retreated.

Although there is no assistant Yan Bao who is not helpful this time, this lotus cake looks very difficult, forget it, let's be a quiet and beautiful girl.

downstairs.

Lin Xu stood in front of the aquarium with Dundun in his arms, looked at all kinds of fresh fish swimming in it, and asked in a low voice:

"Son, do you want to eat fish? If you want to, I will steam one for you tonight, but you have to help me get a better prize, otherwise I will eat chicken breast tonight."

If you want to put it aside, you must have fun with Dundun for a while and draw a lottery.

But the upstairs is still busy today, and this little guy is a bit exhausted, so I will make a long story short and get straight to the point.

Dundun stretched out his claws and put them on Lin Xu's palm.

Obviously, the father and son reached a consensus.

Lin Xu grabbed Dundun's paw, and said silently in his heart:
"lottery!"

Soon, a lottery board appeared in my mind.

After the turntable turns, there is a new button next to the lottery button:
【Draw all prizes】

All awards?
Today I will smoke three dishes and one cooking technique.

If you smoke all of them together, it is indeed much more convenient than one by one.

That being the case, let's have a spoonful of it.

It happened to save myself and Dundun's time.

After choosing to draw all the prizes, the turntable slowly stopped.

Soon, the system's prompt sounded again in my mind:

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the perfect-level lost dish—silver fish soup; the perfect-level dry-pot dish--dry-pot cauliflower; the perfect-level raw pickled dish-drunk crab; the perfect-level cooking technique-dry roast."

This……

Is this gone?

I feel that this lottery draw is quite ordinary. The silver fish soup is a soup dish. Besides the people in the Yangtze River Delta like to eat the drunken crab dish, whoever eats it will have diarrhea, right?

He looked at Dundun in his arms and asked:

"Small? Are you too tired from shooting videos these two days?"

Dundun lit up his paws, as if he would scratch you without sending me back to sleep, Lin Xu couldn't help but sighed, it seemed that the little guy was really tired.

But it’s good, at least there is the top five best-selling dishes of the restaurant, the dry pot cauliflower.

Not a loss either.

The Lin Kee Rice Killer Group has added a new member.

As for the silver thread bream soup and drunk crab, let's put it away for now, maybe it will be used someday.

It’s the dry-cooked technique. Although it’s an unpopular technique, it’s also a small rice killer in the growth stage. For example, dry-cooked fish, which is common in Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, is also very good at serving rice except for the disadvantage of fishbone.

If you have time, go to Diaoyutai to discuss with Chef Song or Chef Dai. Both of them are good at cooking dry roasted fish, and see if there are any shortcomings and shortcomings in the Perfect Level they have mastered compared with the two state banquet chefs.

After sending Dundun back to the service desk, the little guy immediately got into his hut with his tail up, turned over and lay on his small blanket, and fell asleep with his belly bright.

Back upstairs, as soon as he stepped out of the stairs, he saw Shen Baobao and others holding a small plate and tasting the lotus flower cake in small bites.

They didn't just bite down on it recklessly, but tore off the petals along the bottom.

Every time you tear off a piece, put it in your mouth. As soon as you chew it, it makes a crispy sound.

"Wow, it's so crispy, it's even more crispy than eating banana leaves or sanzi."

"And the petals are so thin, like cicada wings."

"The petals alone are so delicious, I really don't know how delicious the stuffing is."

"I have to taste it slowly, eat the petals one by one, and then eat the stuffing."

"Well, the delicious food should be put at the end."

"..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Lin Xu couldn't help laughing bitterly.

The lotus flower cake has to be eaten with stuffing to feel the layer upon layer of crispy and delicious petals. If the petals are eaten separately, it will have no taste.

This is ordinary low-gluten flour with a little powdered sugar and lard mixed in it.

When you eat it, there is only a hint of sweetness in your mouth except for the crisp, which completely loses the essence of eating lotus crisp.

"You guys, don't eat like this. Eating like this is a waste of my craftsmanship. It's better to just fry some banana leaves."

Lin Xu walked over, picked up a lotus flower cake, and bit off half of the flower in one bite. The layers of crispy petals formed a strong contrast with the soft, sweet and greasy shredded coconut custard filling.

The sweetness of the filling is completely diluted by the crispness of the petals, and the petals are no longer monotonous when eaten.

One kind of food, two kinds of taste, the combination is really perfect.

If you take it apart and eat it, you will not be able to taste the strong contrast and wonderful feeling in the taste at all.

Seeing Lin Xu's reckless eating, everyone had a look of "how could he be so cruel" flashed across their faces.

Such a beautiful flower was eaten like a peony by a cow.

"Don't look at me like that, that's how this thing is eaten."

Lin Xu took another bite of the lotus flower cake in his hand, and the original six-petal lotus flower was left in an instant, with only a small corner left in the filling.

Seeing him eating so happily, Baby Shen took a bite of the flower in his hand, and his eyes widened immediately:
"It's really enjoyable to eat like this, you are not willing to eat it, are you? Why don't we change it?"

She took the lotus flower she had bitten to exchange with everyone, but was rejected by Mr. Dou and Mr. Shu and Mr. Zeng.

Geng Lele didn't eat at the moment, but sat on the booth next to him, took a short video of the lotus cake on the table with his mobile phone, and posted it in Moments:

"At the last school entrance banquet, Brother Xu told me to make lotus cakes for me. At that time, he thought he was teasing me, but he didn't expect it to be true. It's nice to have a brother. It's a pity that Grandpa beat me to worship Brother Xu, crying Chirp~~~”

Soon, classmates and some familiar netizens liked and commented one after another.

First of all, Li Qiang, who is still busy earning overtime pay during the National Day:
"What kind of intricate seniority is this?"

Geng Lele responded with a da da da:

"It's the generation that can stay in Lin Ji for a whole day on National Day without working overtime."

Brother Qiang: "..."

Instead of mocking my hair, they start mocking overtime.

Damn, it's my turn to cry this time.

Others didn't pay much attention to the text, they all praised the beauty of the lotus crisp.

"Lele, this lotus flower cake is so beautiful, when will Lin Ji be updated?"

"I really want to have a taste. Does Boss Lin still lack a younger sister? Does he like tea sisters or cute sisters? I can pretend to be a girl."

"Tch, it's definitely fake, unless you let me have a taste."

"Isn't it just for eating, so I just ordered two packs of Wangwang Xiaoxiaocri, which is no better than lotus crisp [Lemon] [Lemon] [Lemon]"

When Geng Lele was watching, he found that Professor Cui, who was in charge of the daily teaching of the wisdom class, gave a thumbs up.

Ok?
teacher?

Didn't he take advantage of the National Day to return to Shanghai?
The little mushroom head immediately clicked on Cui Qingyuan's profile picture, and sent a message:
"Teacher, are you still in the capital? Come to Linji and eat lotus cakes, one bite will remind you of your first love."

Cui Qingyuan, who was sitting in the study and fiddling with the computer, immediately grinned when he saw the news.

The other students avoided the teacher when they saw her, but this girl was fine, she made fun of the teacher instead.

Does my first love still use delicious food as a foreshadowing?

It's always been in the back of my mind.

After thinking about it, I replied:

"I'll go over to eat in the evening, and I'm still waiting for a courier, so I can't leave."

After receiving the news, Geng Lele immediately said:
"Then I'll ask Brother Xu to leave you some lotus cakes. He doesn't make this kind of delicacy very often, so he has to eat it when he catches up. Otherwise, he may have to wait until when he can eat it next time."

"Ok."

After replying to the message, Geng Lele checked the news in Moments again, and then picked up the beautiful lotus flower cake in front of him.

With a big bite, he directly bit off half of the lotus cake.

Hey, Brother Xu is right, this is the only way to eat lotus flower cakes to be delicious.

On the booth next to it, the beauties who had just let Lin Daiyu eat slowly like petals, now opened their mouths, and chomped on the lotus flower crisps in their hands like a hot hand.

Lin Xu, on the other hand, had already eaten a whole lotus flower pastry, and was about to go back to the kitchen, trying to find a way to deal with the unused water and oil pastry and pastry.

The pastry and water oil skin should not be kept for too long, otherwise dehydration and degreasing will occur.

Back in the kitchen, Lin Xu looked at everyone and asked:

"Besides making lotus pastry, what else can this kind of water oil skin and pastry do?"

This question left everyone at a loss. You are the master at the white case. You are asking us this, which is somewhat out of line.

At the moment, Ji Minghui is communicating with Wei Qian about the quantity of fried noodles to be used in the evening.

He looked at the pink watery skin in the eye basin and said with a smile:

"If the boss is not afraid of trouble, you can try to make some hydrangea cakes. It is the same as the lotus cake, but it is more complicated than the lotus cake and looks better."

Hydrangea crisp?
Lin Xu was at a loss.

what is this?
Another court snack?

He searched the Internet with his mobile phone, and finally found a picture of the hydrangea cake. The laminated pastry was woven into a cake base according to the weaving method, and then the filling was wrapped, and then it was slowly put into the oil pan. fried.

Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this is definitely more difficult than the lotus cake.

But this beauty...

Baby Shen should like it very much, right?

Lin Xu thought for a while, and exchanged the method of hydrangea crisps he found in the points mall for an excellent method.

If you try rashly, there is a high probability that you will overturn.

To be on the safe side, it is more appropriate to exchange for a cooking technique.

After the exchange, he quickly learned how to make hydrangea crisps.

Like the lotus cake, this dessert also needs to make the filling first.

There are really not many ingredients suitable for making stuffing in the kitchen at the moment. Lin Xu looked around and saw some steamed pumpkins, which were prepared for the pumpkin soup to be used at night.

There are pumpkins, so let's make pumpkin stuffing.

I haven't made pumpkin stuffed snacks yet, and I just tried a wave today.

According to the amount of dough, I took half a pot of pumpkins, took an iron spoon, and crushed these soft, waxy and sweet pumpkins into pumpkin puree.

Be patient in this step, the pumpkin needs to be thoroughly crushed for the filling.

After everything is ground into a puree, pass the pumpkin through a fine-mesh sieve to filter out some plant fibers and the pumpkin skin that has not been cleaned.

The purpose of this is to make the pumpkin filling have a smoother taste.

After filtering, prepare some whipped cream and some soft white sugar, then set up the frying pan, heat the pan first, add cold oil to slide the pan, then pour it out, heat it again, and continue to slide the pan.

When frying pasty ingredients, be sure to slide the pan several times, so as to effectively prevent sticking to the pan.

After the sliding pot, add a spoonful of lard to the pot, heat it up on high heat, then pour in the filtered pumpkin stuffing and start to stir fry.

This step is to fry the aroma of the pumpkin, and at the same time, fry the water in the pumpkin to make the pumpkin thicker and more suitable for filling.

At the beginning, the pumpkin and the oil did not mix, but as it was fried, the oil penetrated into the pumpkin filling.

When the pumpkin is fried until it has a rich aroma and becomes viscous, pour in soft white sugar, then add some light cream to increase the milky aroma, and continue to stir fry.

When the pumpkin is slightly dry and dough-like, turn off the heat and take it out of the pan.

Spread the pumpkin filling on a tray and bring it to the freezer to speed up the cooling of the filling.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu took out the pink watery skin in the basin and kneaded it to prevent fermentation from standing still.

After kneading, in order to match the pink dough, he used matcha powder and some light green water oil skin.

The light pink and light green dough are placed together, giving people a small and fresh feeling.

Looks better than pink alone.

After the two kinds of dough were ready, Lin Xu took out the pastry and kneaded it again.

Start making.

First roll the two kinds of water-oil skins into a rectangular dough sheet with a width of [-] cm and a length of [-] cm, then roll the pastry into the same size, and then divide it into two from the middle.

Half of it is placed on the pink water oil skin, and the other half is placed on the light green water oil skin.

Fold the water and oil skins in half and wrap the pastry.

When wrapping, use a rolling pin to roll the sides around to prevent the puff pastry from oozing out of the dough.

Then fold the two ends in half towards the middle, and then fold in half along the middle, and use a rolling pin to re-roll the rectangular dough, fold it in half again after rolling, and then put it under the plastic wrap to relax.

Fold the two doughs in half, and take out the pumpkin stuffing that is drying in the freezer.

At this moment, the pumpkin stuffing is no longer hot, so use your hands to knead it into balls of about [-] grams each.

After rubbing, put it on a tray, cover it with plastic wrap, and continue to put it in the refrigerator for cooling.

Outside the kitchen, Baby Shen sat on the booth and ate two lotus flower crisps. He felt a little tired, so he asked Che Zai to go to the small kitchen to fill some chestnuts fried in the morning, and peeled and ate them.

Since there are special stones for stir-frying chestnuts, almost every day in the store, there is a pot of nut snacks such as chestnuts or cashew nuts.

"Che Zai, what is Xu Bao doing in the kitchen?"

"The boss is preparing to make hydrangea cakes stuffed with pumpkin. To match the light pink dough, he specially mixed some light green ones. I don't know what hydrangea cakes are. I'm waiting to eat them."

Hydrangea crisp?
It got the number one hot search today. Is Xubao going to hang it?

"Oh, with such a husband, when will I lose weight!"

Shen Baobao let out a long sigh, his eyes were full of happy melancholy.

Zeng Xiaoqi and Dou Wenjing, who were eating chestnuts, suddenly tasted a strong lemon flavor from the warm chestnuts.

Even the proprietress has started Versailles.

How can this day be good?

in the kitchen.

Lin Xu folded and rolled the dough in half several times, and finally rolled it into a thick dough that is ten centimeters wide, one centimeter long, and ten centimeters long.

The thicker the dough, the more pronounced the effect of the hydrangea.

After rolling out, bring the cooled pumpkin stuffing over and start making.

First use a kitchen knife to cut the two kinds of noodles into thin slices with a thickness of [-] mm, and start to weave the hydrangea shape after cutting.

Spread a pink dough piece on the workbench, and then place the light green dough pieces interlaced with this dough piece one by one.

One of the light green dough pieces is on the top and the other is on the bottom. After sandwiching the pink dough piece in the middle, press it lightly to combine the two kinds of dough pieces.

Then fold up all the light green dough pieces on the bottom, take a pink dough piece and place it next to the first pink dough piece.

Then turn the upturned light green dough piece down, and at the same time turn up the light green dough piece that is overwhelmed by the pink dough piece, and put another pink dough piece according to the steps just now.

In this way, they have been placed in a staggered way, and when the ten pink ones are finished, it is just the end.

Take a small bowl and buckle it on the woven dough, roll it hard, press out a circle on the square dough, remove the surrounding corners, and get a round woven dough.

Use a rolling pin to roll the round dough piece, especially the edge cut part. After rolling, take a pumpkin ball and put it in the middle, then wrap it like a bun, and pinch the closing part tightly.

A pink hydrangea cake mixed with light green is ready.

According to this method, Lin Xu made all the hydrangea crisps.

And the leftovers that were cut were not wasted, just squeeze a few together and twist them in a circle, and it became a colorful twist.

After everything is ready, heat up the oil and continue frying.

Unlike the lotus crisp, the hydrangea crisp has a thinner layer on the outside and does not need to bloom, so it can be fried directly in [-]% hot oil.

Soon after the hydrangea crisps are put into the oil pan, the noodles on the surface begin to swell.

This is not because of the fermentation, but because the skin is crisping up, causing the dough pieces to start to expand, which makes the gaps between the dough pieces that were originally somewhat loose be filled all of a sudden.

The hydrangea also has the feeling of overlapping and overlapping each other.

Among Chinese pastries, Hydrangea Cake is relatively difficult.

However, after a thorough understanding of the method, it is not difficult to do it, especially the weaving process, which is simply a welfare for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

While he was busy in the kitchen, a courier brother came downstairs in a courier car under the teacher's dormitory building of Tsinghua University. Not long after dialing the number, Cui Qingyuan came in a hurry from the corridor.

"Cui Qingyuan, right? Report the end number of your phone."

The courier brother was talking, while moving several cardboard boxes from the car.

"7866... ​​Excuse me, what's in it? A friend sent it to me. He only told me to wait for the delivery in the dormitory, but didn't say what it was."

The little brother looked at the box and said:
"Looks like a crab, from Yangcheng Lake."

Crab?

Cui Qingyuan looked at the several cardboard boxes on the ground, which were bigger than the bedside table, dumbfounded. Boss Yan, why are you sending me so many crabs?
Do you think I look like someone who can cook?
Just casually said in the circle of friends that hairy crabs are going to be on the market, so you just sent me so many crabs.

I have to mention a sea view villa. Are you afraid that you will buy several sets directly?
He looked worriedly at the box on the ground.

How to eat so many crabs?
