Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 405 Pastry

Su Ziling said: "Gusu mooncakes have their own unique features, especially the selection and ratio of fillings and flowers. Qingshui rose mooncakes use bright-colored Qingshui roses and pine nuts, which have the aroma of roses and pine nuts. The natural fragrance of kernels. For the filling of mincemeat mooncakes, pine nuts, walnuts, melon seeds, dried green plums, etc. are selected, which brings together the natural aroma of nuts and the refreshing taste of green plums. Salt, etc., have the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus and sesame, and are sweet and salty. The fillings of lard sandwich moon cakes are made of red beans, diced pork suet and pine nuts, which have the fragrance of red beans and pine nuts.”

The stall owner praised: "This distinguished guest is right. Our Gusu mooncakes are famous, and they even paid tribute to the emperor."

Jun Yize regretted it deeply, and said, "I missed it this year. When the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, I will definitely come to Gusu and eat all kinds of crispy mooncakes."

"This Gusu snack also uses a lot of nourishing fillings, such as pine nuts, dates, and sesame cakes, and three-color sesame cakes, which have the effect of moisturizing the five internal organs, nourishing the lungs and nourishing qi. Among the four-color sliced ​​cakes, the pine flower slices have the effect of nourishing blood. Dispelling wind, replenishing qi and calming the liver. Almond slices relieve cough; rose slices dispel blood stasis and relieve pain; sesame crisp candy moistens the intestines and black beard and hair. I don’t know if we can find a seller of sesame crisp candy at this time.” Su Ziling said.

The stall owner said with a smile: "Yes, distinguished guests, go forward from here, turn around a street, and you will see a shop selling sesame crisp candies."

"Thank you boss for your advice."

After tasting the pastry, we found a pastry shop selling sweets.

Hearing Su Ziling introduce the therapeutic effect of sesame crisp candy, everyone can't wait to taste it.

This little black sesame crisp candy is not easy to make.Mi Xiaoye paid close attention to it. It really takes many years of craftsmanship to make such a troublesome crispy candy.

Firstly, the black sesame must be fried to give out its aroma, and then ground. It takes a lot of effort to grind the sesame. It cannot be too fine or too coarse, which requires many years of hand feeling and eyesight.

Then the syrup is boiled, and after the syrup is cooled, it is repeatedly drawn by hand. This technique of drawing sugar is a skill that requires years of practice.The whitened sugar and the prepared black sesame are pressed repeatedly, and the number of times of pressing is also very particular. No more, no less can make the halva taste good.After the pressing is completed, cut into pieces, twist them, and twist out the layers.The sesame halva made in this way is crispy and refreshing, with thin layers like silk, soft and crisp in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, and has a long aftertaste.

"I never imagined that this cheap crispy candy would be so complicated to make." Jun Yijing said.

Jun Yize stuffed his mouth full with crispy candy, and said, "This is the heart of a craftsman. It is because of this that this crispy candy is so delicious. Not only the crispy candy, but also the Gusu snacks are famous Far broadcast."

Mi Xiaoye is also deeply concerned about this. In modern times, there are chefs in the hotel where Mi Xiaoye practiced in order to serve food quickly or save costs.There are also some people who buy semi-finished products for convenience, and lack such craftsmanship.

After tasting Gusu dim sum for most of the day, Mi Xiaoye also learned a lot, and always felt that she should learn and sell now, and make a few dim sum to practice her hands.Without practice, you can't cook just by looking at it.

Su Ziling was very happy with Mi Xiaoye's performance today. Apart from tasting the cakes, she also paid special attention to the craftsmanship of making them.As expected of his apprentice, he is as diligent and studious as himself.
