Chapter 233 232 Baking

Pancakes are a versatile staple food. They are not limited to green onions or vegetables. They are also delicious rolled in white or brown sugar.

Tang Zhitong sprinkled a bunch of sugar into the pancakes, rolled them up, and rolled three pancakes at once, one for each of Xiao Wang, Feng Zhen, and Feng Zhi.

"Have a try, the rolled white sugar is very delicious. When eating, hold the bottom with one hand and be careful not to miss it." Tang Zhitong handed the three rolled pancakes to the three of them in turn. Fengzhen did not get this treatment when she was a child. I can only watch myself eat.

The pancakes mixed with millet were moderately soft and hard, with a little sweetness on their own. Now with the addition of sugar, it made people salivate. The three of them bit into a piece and chewed it for a few times before they were conquered...

Sugar is an energy food that is most easily absorbed by the human body and is deeply engraved in human genes. Therefore, most ethnic groups in the world like this food that can bring a sense of happiness to people.

In order to alleviate conflicts and increase people's happiness, some areas add a large amount of fructose syrup to the food and beverages sold, causing consumers to gain weight.

Well, there is a small rule. The Gini coefficient is relatively high in places where obesity is more obvious, but the contradiction is hard to explain, because this thing will not dissipate, but will only transfer...

"It's delicious! I'll roll some candies for lunch!" Fengzhi said first.

Fengzhen didn't say anything, but judging from the expression of enjoyment, she didn't dislike this way of eating.

"Okay, save me cooking." Sugar is hard to buy, but it is also important for the children to be happy. Zhang Guifang agreed with a smile.

Tang Zhitong looked at the three people who were eating deliciously, and rolled two toon sprouts himself. The pancakes he had just spread out were delicious.

Fengzhi ate slowly and had a small appetite, and was full after just one pancake. Fengzhen rolled a sugar pancake by herself, while Xiao Wang followed Tang Zhitong's example and rolled toon pickles and tried different ways of eating them.

There are not many places to eat pancakes now, but in a few decades there will be an option of "grain pancakes" for breakfast. The vast majority of people who run this breakfast business come from the same place - an old revolutionary area in Qilu, and get rich through hard work. There are not a few.

Most multigrain pancakes are rolled in thin crisps or steamed buns, brushed with sauce, sprinkled with minced chives, coriander, and mustard, and paired with a bowl of glutinous rice soup. The taste is amazing!

Along with the multi-grain pancakes for breakfast, there is also the "pancake fruit" food. Both of them have the word pancake in their names, but their styles are completely different.

Pancakes are said to have originated in Jinmen. The main ingredient of Jinmen pancakes is mung bean noodles, but after spreading to other places, the main ingredient became flour. Regardless of what kind of food they are made from, the fried dough sticks must be rolled into them after being baked, and they must be small soft dough sticks, supplemented with salty tofu curd or spicy spicy soup, which is very good with rice.

As an aside, there are three famous snacks in Jinmen that ordinary people know, Goubuli steamed buns, pancake fruits and Jinmen cannabis flowers.

In fact, Jinmen people don’t eat dog-ignored steamed buns, and they say it’s just to fool outsiders. Jinmen cannabis flower is not produced in Jinmen at all, but is produced in Huangba, Yingshang, Fuyang, Hui Province. No surprise. ?

After breakfast, when Tang Zhitong came to the unit, Gao Lide had already purchased half a bag of mung beans, weighing more than 20 kilograms. If you put two handfuls of mung beans in a pot of water, they would last for a long time.

"Master Tang, mung beans are not very easy to buy. I may buy more. I'll return the more and make up for the less." Gao Lide took advantage of the construction period, worked out a surplus, and handed the mung beans to Tang Zhitong.

"Okay, thank you, Master Gao. I will pick the pumpkins and send them to the cafeteria later." Tang Zhitong took them, picked up a handful and twisted them. The quality was good, and there were no stones or other weights to weigh them.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master Tang." Gao Lide nodded and turned back to the canteen to prepare the ingredients.

Gao Lide knew well that he had never interfered with the pumpkin matter from the beginning, and picking it rashly might bring criticism.

Tang Zhitong quickly lit the stove, poured a bucket of water into the pot, grabbed two handfuls of mung beans, covered the pot, and while the water was boiling, he went for a walk around the pumpkin patch and picked pumpkins.

During the process of planting pumpkins, it is necessary to keep flowering. The land in the escort department is not fertile. It is appropriate to have three or four pumpkins on one pumpkin seedling. If there are more, we will not be able to provide enough. Now is the flowering period. Pick one pumpkin from each pumpkin seedling and leave one to make up for it when the flowers bloom later. It will have little impact on the harvest.

Throughout the morning, Tang Zhitong rushed back and forth between the stove, pumpkin patch and canteen.

He picked more than a hundred pumpkins at one time. Even though the pumpkins were still very tender, as long as they were not bumped, it would not be a problem to store them for ten days and a half.

More than a hundred pumpkins are enough to offset the more than 20 pounds of mung beans. Let the rest grow slowly.

Tang Zhitong was busy, and the master chef and temporary workers were also idle. They built sheds one after another in the open space, a bit like yurts, and the sheds were filled with piles of prepared wooden boards.

"Master Qiao, what are you doing?" Tang Zhitong's work came to an end. During his break, he asked Master Qiao for advice.

"Bake it a while, otherwise the finished frame will easily lose its shape." Master Qiao replied.

"Isn't this wood completely dry? Does it still need to be dried?" Tang Zhitong was a little confused. At that time, he only picked dry logs. Does it still need to be dried? This was something he didn't expect.

"You don't know about feelings?" Master Qiao said unexpectedly.

"Hey, I'm not professional, and I didn't bother to ask at the time. Is drying time-consuming? Is the construction period sufficient?" Tang Zhitong admitted frankly. The budget was there, and it would be difficult to communicate with Fangyuan if it was delayed.

"The construction period is about the same, let's work harder. This wood is very good, it doesn't need to be dried for a long time." Master Qiao replied patiently, he was only using this method within the construction period, otherwise the natural air drying effect would be better.

"That's good, please take the trouble." Tang Zhitong was relieved and entrusted.

"Don't worry, we know what's going on." Master Qiao happily agreed.

With all the materials in place, Tang Zhitong was a little lighter today than yesterday, burning the stove and watching the temporary workers drying wooden boards under the command of Master Qiao.

Build a simple stove with broken bricks among the stacked wooden boards, then add bark and other broken wood pieces, light it, clamp the curtain of the shed to prevent the heat from escaping, and let it smolder inside. The temporary worker opened it and added a handful of firewood.

Looking at the busy temporary workers, Tang Zhitong suddenly felt that his job of cooking the stove didn't seem so hot anymore...

As pots of mung bean soup came out of the pot, Tang Zhitong discovered an interesting problem. Mung beans were obviously green, but the soup that came out was red!

Did the pot turn green and the water turn green, or did the mung beans change their original intentions after being exposed to high temperatures?

In the afternoon, Master Qiao picked a few templates and started making tables and stools.

It’s not difficult for those who know how to do it, but it’s difficult for those who don’t know how to do it.

The wooden boards were dismembered bit by bit in Master Qiao's hands, and then reassembled. Soon, a table was completed.

It's just that Tang Zhitong didn't have a video recorder in his hand. Otherwise, if he recorded and edited this process, and showed it as a speed bump for men, it would definitely bring a wave of traffic.
