Chapter 110 Three Pastries
I wanted to make pastries, but I ran into trouble on the first day.

"Don't we have walnuts on the mountain? Why didn't I just go up the mountain?"

Yan Zaixi was a little irritable. She got up at five o'clock this morning and went to the mountain to search, but she didn't find a single walnut. You must know that the walnut used to be all over the mountain.

After walking for so long now, my whole body is limp.

Zhuang Yinong passed by, and when he heard this childish words, he couldn't help but sneer, "The walnuts have been picked long ago, but the supply and marketing cooperative sent them outside. We only let us eat a little, and they would blame us if we ate too much."

Yan Zaixi's teeth itch, you little brat.

However, the walnuts were taken away by the public sales agency, and she really didn't know about it.

It seems that the walnut crisp is going to be ruined.

"Then can we get another one?"

Zhuang Jun looked at Yan Zaixi's expression and suggested.

"Of course it's possible, but walnut cakes are more popular and sell better, that's why I thought about making this. Now let's make hair cakes."

Yan Zaixi felt a little regretful, but considering the influence of the walnut cake, it was understandable.

"Fat cake?"

Zhuang Jun has heard of this, but has never eaten it.

"Yes, there are many kinds of hair cakes, such as brown sugar hair cakes, corn hair cakes, red dates hair cakes, pumpkin hair cakes, etc., and they are very easy to learn."

Yan Zaixi remembers that she grew up eating fat cakes when she was a child, because her grandma often made it, and it tastes very good.

"Fat cake should be sold for four cents, and it is still profitable."

Zhuang Jun is not good at this, but he is also interested in making cakes, "Then let's make this."

"Okay, come here, I'll teach you."

Yan Zaixi rolled up his sleeves and took Zhuang Jun to the kitchen.

There is not much farm work now, and Zhuang Yinong and Zhuang Jun went to collect firewood and dig out bird nests in the morning, but there was nothing to do.

So I actively proposed to help them.

Yan Zaixi couldn't ask for more.

First of all, they have three things to do this time.

Let's start with the simplest cake.

Fat cake is really simple, just prepare the raw materials and adjust the ratio.Just put it on and steam it, but it takes a little time to ferment.

But the mung bean cake dough also needs to be fermented, and then Yan Zaixi took Zhuang Jun to make lard cake while waiting.

But before that, they soaked the mung beans first, and they will make uncoated mung beans later.

After finishing, pour rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and sugar into a bowl, add cold boiled water, knead it into a dough, and steam it until cooked.

"Let's fry black sesame seeds now, so that the lard paste will be made in the end, and it will be more fragrant when added."

Yan Zaixi said to Zhuang Jun.

Zhuang Jun took it down seriously.

Zhuang Yinong also watched with relish.

"Okay, the dough is steamed."

Yan Zaixi took out the steamed dough, and taught Zhuang Jun while making it by himself.

"Tamp and press first, press firmly, and roll it into a pancake."

Zhuang Jun has a strong learning ability, and he already has a certain cooking foundation, so he can keep up with the progress.

It's just not as good-looking as Yan Zaixi.

But just practice a few times.

"That's right. Now sprinkle a little sesame filling, roll it up and let it cool first, then cut it into pieces later, all right, now that the dough has woken up, let's steam the cake."

As a homemade pastry, hair cake is really very simple, just adjust the ingredients, put it on and steam it.

After the cake is finished, it's the turn of the mung bean cake.

"Mung bean cakes are a little more troublesome. If you don't understand them, you have to ask."

Zhuang Jun nodded. He felt that it was quite simple so far, and Zhiqing Yan taught people very patiently.

Except for Zhuang Yinong, of course.

Every time Zhuang Yinong tutors homework, Yan Zaixi feels that it is a kind of practice for his own life.

"Let's make the water skin first, add sugar, lard, and water to the flour, and we'll just keep kneading it."

Yan Zaixi felt that it was quite stress-free to have this thing.

Seeing that Zhuang Yinong was eager to give it a try, it was too easy to add firewood, and he was idle and bored, so he followed suit.

I didn't expect it to be quite fun.

"After getting the watery skin, we get the oily skin. The scalp is very simple. Just knead the flour lard lightly, and then wake up for three to 10 minutes.

Alright, now we will remove the coat from the mung beans and steam them. "

Rub rub, rub mung beans.

The two children Zhuang Jun and Zhuang Yinong started playing for some reason.

Yan Zaixi watched it funny, but felt that the atmosphere was quite good.

Rub well and steam.

If you are free, let's make lard cake.

"Zhuang Jun, watch carefully this time, the heat is very important, and this is the most critical step for lard cake."

Yan Zaixi reminded seriously that Zhuang Jun is ready to fight.

"Put lard first, wait for it to heat up for a while, when it's almost ready, we'll put it in and fry until golden."

Yan Zaixi demonstrated a few, and then let Zhuang Jun do the work.

It is inevitable that Zhuang Jun did not make the lard cake well for the first time, but it became more and more smooth afterwards.

Zhuang Yinong's high spirits also had to be mixed in.

I didn't expect this kid to be really good at working.

Perfect the first time!

Zhuang Yinong couldn't be more complacent.

Zhuang Jun praised, "You always learn things quickly."

"That's a must!"

Zhuang Yinong raised his chin.

"It's almost burnt..."

Yan Zaixi said coolly.

Learn everything fast, but not fast!

Zhuang Yinong hurriedly put it on the plate.

Put the lard cake aside.

It's the last mung bean cake.

The water oil skin and pastry dough are kneaded into balls separately, divided into small doses and kneaded into balls, kneaded well and woke up again.

Take advantage of this time to make the filling, and divide it into many small doses, and then knead the balls for later use.

"You guys have a good look at it. Take the first wake-up dough, press it from the middle, fold the two ends back, and roll it out with a rolling pin. This way it will not be broken and crispy."

The three children had never eaten mung bean cakes, so they didn't understand much, but they nodded half-understanding.

Roll it into a thin skin and wrap it with mung bean filling.

Wrap the interface well, place it on the baking tray, spray some water on the surface, and sprinkle some white sesame seeds on it.

Done!

The oven is an earthen oven, and the temperature must be carefully controlled. It is the same oven used to make Zhuang Jun's birthday cake.

Soon, the three delicacies will be ready.

But this time no one was invited to taste it.

It's just that the family members sit in rows and give evaluations one by one.

It's all five-star praise!
As the head pastry chef this time, Comrade Yan Zaixi was very happy.

"Okay, let's sell these three things in the future."

"Good."

Zhuang Yiming likes the mung bean cake.

I feel like I was a child
He Yan Zaixi couldn't help talking about mung bean cakes, "I remember selling them at the school gate when I was young, and they cost 5 cents each."

"Yes, I don't know why mung bean pancakes were popular in the canteen at the time, and sometimes they couldn't get them, so my grandparents bought a box, and then box after box..."

Yan Zaixi couldn't help laughing after thinking about it.

When I was a child, I really thought mung bean cakes were very delicious.

The outer skin is crispy and soft, and it will fall off when you bite into it. The inner part is very delicate and not very sweet. Eating one can make you happy all day!
