I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 57

Another public holiday.Tang Yuan threw the rubbish into the sorting trash bin at the back door, and saw Yu Jianguo sneaking into the next door with a canvas bag in his hand.

During this period of time, he has become acquainted with the two brothers of the Yu family, and even Yu Jianping, who is serious and unsmiling, has been figured out by him, he is just a little slow.

When they meet occasionally, Tang Yuan can also call him "Uncle Jianping", and Yu Jianping can also make a smile or two.

Not to mention Yu Jianguo, he was happy and cheerful all day long, and he had no airs at all. After the misunderstanding was resolved, he would go to Tang Yuan for food from time to time.

I've never seen anything like this today.Fearing that something might happen, Tang Yuan pushed open the back door next door and entered Yu's restaurant.

Different from the majesty and magnificence of the palace walls and pavilions of the outer buildings, the antique flavor of the wooden buildings is preserved inside. With the dim yellow and warm lights, there is an illusion of traveling to ancient times in a second.

There was a faint sound from the back kitchen, Tang Yuan stepped lightly, and quietly stepped forward to check.

Yu Jianping was squatting on the ground focusing on tapping the utensils, but Yu Jianguo, who had just entered, was nowhere to be seen.

not good--

Tang Yuan was startled, it was too late to turn around.

A gloomy voice rang in his ear: "What are you looking at?"

After living for twenty-four years, Tang Yuan experienced the feeling of being captured for the first time.

The two brothers of the Yu family sat on the ground facing him, and they looked at him together.

Tang Yuan glanced at Yu Jianguo who couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes, and straightened his back: "I came in with Uncle Jianguo..." He thought the two brothers had quarreled, otherwise Yu Jianguo's expression would be so strange.

He couldn't help but ask again: "What exactly did you bring?" His eyes glanced at the environmental bag that he had been holding in his hand and placed beside his leg.

I saw Yu Jianguo went to the kitchen to get the cutlery first, returned to the table, put it in the middle, took out a big box from the white bag, opened it, it turned out to be a big round cake? ? ?

Tang Yuan couldn't believe his eyes, there was a huge Chinese character "福" printed on this piece of Huang Tongtong's pancake.From a distance, it looks like a thinly sliced ​​American apple pie.

It was Yu Jianping who was well-informed and calmly said, "It's moon cakes."

Whose moon cake looks like this?Could it be that he bullied him for reading less? ?
"There are not many people who can make this kind of Zhangzhou mooncakes now, who gave it to you?" The skin is smooth, showing a bright yellow color, and it smells like a burst of fragrance, the top grade among the top grades.It's just that modern young people probably don't like this ancient craftsmanship.

Yu Jianguo smiled proudly: "Ah Jian did it."

I talked to the girl on the phone last night, and Ah Jian asked him how the two kinds of mooncakes tasted.He was also amazed at how his girl could even make old-fashioned mooncakes. He only found out after asking that it was recorded by the old man.

I have to say that the old man of his family is indeed outstanding. I haven't seen him travel many times on weekdays, but he has a thorough understanding of Huaxia's cuisine, and he can innovate by himself.

Yu Jianguo explained again: "It's in the old man's book, and it's the first time for Ah Jian to make it. I sent you two yuan so that I can give you a try." He glanced at Tang Yuan again, "It's cheap for you boy."

Don't come early, don't come late, you have to wait until he brings moon cakes, like a roundworm in your stomach.

As soon as the knife cut the dough, the yellow and purple stuffing inside was revealed, mixed with a little white, like beautiful granite.

Tang Yuan only needs a small amount, and he has always had a taste for unfamiliar things.

The crust is loose but not collapsed, the fillings are glutinous but not sticky, the crispy skin echoes the delicious flavor of taro paste and egg yolk...

"It's simply delicious in the world!" Tang Yuan wiped his mouth and sighed, regretting that he didn't know such delicious food until so late.

"Your portion is finished, I have to take the rest away." Yu Jianping saw the desire in his eyes, knocked on the plate, put it back into the box protectively, closed the lid and stuffed it back into the canvas bag.

This little old man is really stingy——

Ah Jian... is Uncle Jianguo's daughter?I have heard him talk about it several times, and I heard that this year he will take the college entrance examination, and he is rushing to the capital university.

To have such a good craftsmanship, he needs to get to know him well.

Woman, you managed to get my attention—

It is impossible for Yu Jianping to take out the mooncakes again.Anyway, as long as Uncle Jianguo's daughter comes to the capital, there will be opportunities in the future, so why fight for it.

"I also baked a batch of mooncakes there, try it?" The current guests looked hard to dismiss, and it was too much for someone like Tang Yuan who was active in thinking and innovative.

On the official account of the restaurant, there are customers shouting all day long: "Let your chef come up with new dishes!"

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and someone left a message: "Lantingxuan has a fresh flavor of mooncakes. I don't even want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival after eating ordinary mooncakes."

Crazy likes below, and some people echoed.

Tang Yuan thought about it, and planned to improve a new dish that was originally going to be served, and make it into moon cakes first.

Wellington steak mooncakes, marinated fresh beef, cut into rounds, heat the pan over medium heat, put oil and fry for [-] seconds on each side.Then spread the mustard and let cool.

Mushroom Sauce Tangyuan uses the traditional French method. Mushrooms, thyme and black pepper are boiled together, and the water is evaporated by constant stirring.

Put ham on the plastic wrap, then spread the mushroom sauce, and finally put the beef on top. There was almost a mistake when making the mooncake filling. Tang Yuan tried several times to wrap the beef into a perfect circle.

Coat the finished meringue with egg wash, place the beef that has been frozen for [-] minutes, and press lightly around the opening to cover the opening.Then put it into a mooncake mold and press out the shape, put it in the oven and bake it three times.

In fact, it is essentially the same as the Wellington steak, except that the mooncakes are Cantonese-style meringues. The baked mooncakes are shiny and oily. Against the backdrop of the white plate, they really look like a full moon in the sky.

Yu Jianguo didn't know what to do, so he took a big bite like eating ordinary mooncakes.

The outer skin is crispy with glutinous taste, the black pepper flavor spreads in the mouth, the gravy is full of juice, and the meat is tender. This taste...is so beautiful...

Yu Jianguo swallowed a whole mooncake in two or three mouthfuls, and belched contentedly.

Yu Jianping also ate half of it. He always chews slowly when he tastes new things, so that he can taste the essence inside.He squeezed the half-moon cake in his hand and poured it onto the plate. The meat cake was squeezed and water droplets appeared, and when he let go, the water droplets were absorbed into the meat layer again.

good!He wanted to look at Tang Yuan with a new light in his eyes, this kid has an amazing talent for cooking.

He and Ah Jian are like two weights on the scale, one on the left and one on the right, and it is still unknown which is more important.

He was a little excited again for a moment, and couldn't wait to see how many surprises these two young people could bring him.

　The ideas of these chapters come from Li Bai's poems, and I also consulted a lot of materials.

　　In fact, I have eaten a lot of fresh moon cakes in the past few years, such as custard cream, chocolate ice skin,
　　But I went round and round, and the one I love the most is the local mooncakes with crispy skin and fresh meat.

　　After one bite, the meat is full of fragrance, and the puff pastry will fall off without touching it...

　　so hungry...

　　I have to eat another mooncake~~~
