"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling"
A different wake-up ringtone woke up Yuan Zhou, who was sleeping soundly.
"I'm really not used to this ringtone." Yuan Zhou muttered before turning off the ringtone and starting to wash up.
Ever since Wu Hai laughed at Yuan Zhou's taste in cell phone ringtones last time, he decisively changed to another one. Although there seems to be no difference, one is "Ling Ling Ling" and the other is "Ding Ling Ling", but he thinks there is a difference. Still big.
After washing up, it was exactly half past seven.
Yuanzhou took out his cell phone and started making a call.
"Is this Master Fang?" Yuan Zhou asked directly as soon as he was connected.
"Well, what's the matter?" A soft and sweet female voice came from over there.
Yuan Zhou was stunned for a second while holding the phone, and then said, "I want to ask you to paint the wall."
"No problem, what time." Hearing that it was about work, he replied very seriously.
"If you can, let's start today and come over to discuss the price." Yuanzhou considered it for a while before sending out the invitation.
Yuan Zhou found this painter Fang on a forum. It is said that he is an excellent painter and is serious and responsible. Although the price is on the high side, the materials used are very good.
But I didn't expect it to be a girl, and a girl with a soft voice.
"No problem, what's your address?" Painter Fang held his cell phone under one arm and freed his hands to get up and wash up.
"No. 14, Taoxi Road, meet at half past nine." Yuan Zhou told the time.
"Okay, see you then." After saying goodbye, Painter Fang neatly picked up his hair and tied it into a ponytail.
The whole person looked energetic, and his delicate little face was full of energy.
Finished with the ninth one, move on to the last one.
Continue dialing.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou didn't have many contacts, so he quickly found the number he needed to call.
"Hello, flower gardening." A familiar male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"This is No. 14, Taoxi Road. Please send me a vat of lotus flowers that are about to bloom." Yuan Zhou stated his purpose straightforwardly.
"Okay, what are the size requirements?" The other end of the phone asked politely for details.
Yuan Zhou explained one by one, taking careful notes and completing the last task in a short time.
"Seven minutes, not bad." Yuan Zhou nodded with satisfaction.
With nothing to do, Yuanzhou was in a particularly good mood. He thought that he should make something else for breakfast this morning to change the taste.
During this upgrade, the system had already distributed matching snacks to Yuan Zhou. This was automatically distributed by the system and there was no need to draw a lottery.
However, one should not have too high expectations for the system.
"System, aren't Qinhuai snacks the Eight Jue?" Yuan Zhou looked at the lonely Four Jue and asked in confusion.
The system now reads: "This is distributed randomly."
"Okay, even if it's not complete, logically it should be the first four or the last four. What's the matter with you being a hammer here and a stick here and there?" Yuan Zhou flipped through the contents and was extremely speechless.
The system now reads: "Random."
"It is indeed the system." Yuanzhou said that he was convinced. Fortunately, Yuanzhou liked the ones distributed this time.
However, he did not receive all the snacks. There were four dishes rewarded this time. After receiving the snacks, he was afraid that it would be difficult to master them in a short time. Therefore, Yuanzhou first thoroughly ate the dishes he received, and then planned to receive the snack rewards. Of course Also take your time.
"Life is good when you have a balance." Yuan Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
There are rewards to save, and it feels like having a lot of deposits, which is very beautiful and heroic.
Come up with new dishes whenever you think of them.
Yuanzhou received one of the items first and started preparing today's breakfast.
What I made this time was the salty duck fat biscuit, which is a traditional snack in Jinling. The one in Qifang Pavilion in Jinling is the most famous and delicious.
The most important thing about this breakfast dish of duck fat pancakes is the refining of duck fat.
After receiving it, the system had put all the ingredients in the kitchen. Yuanzhou searched carefully and found that the duck fat this time was very different from the duck fat used for cooking last time.
The duck fat taken out this time has condensed, like white snow, and smells of a light fragrance, which seems even more rare.
"What kind of duck fat is this?" Understanding the ingredients is also a required course.
The system now reads: "This duck fat is made from a whole piece of duck fat from the belly of the white duck."
"The white duck has white feathers, a black beak, and black feet. It has stable genetics and is the only duck used for medicinal purposes. It is called duck Chinese essence. Its growth conditions are extremely harsh. It needs to grow in red soil, purple soil, alluvial soil, paddy soil, This duck can only be grown in the intersection of six types of soils, rare earth and bentonite, with sufficient heat, abundant rainfall, distinct four seasons, obvious monsoons, clean water sources, and a high-quality mountainous ecological environment."
"The duck grown in this way has no fishy smell and the meat is fresh and tender. The duck fat inside has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys, eliminating phlegm and resuscitating the body, calming the mind, appetizing and strengthening the spleen."
"The longer the duck is bred, the more obvious the effect will be. This system uses duck fat from the belly of three-year-old ducks, which has a fragrant smell."
"It's just the main ingredient for sesame cakes. Do you want to be so exaggerated? I almost want to eat stewed duck." Yuan Zhou swallowed silently in front of the white duck.
Duck is inherently low in cholesterol and is suitable for most people to eat.
After gathering his thoughts, Yuanzhou began to make sesame cakes in earnest.
First, knead the dough, add a small amount of duck fat into it, and knead it into a smooth dough. Set it aside for later use. Next, prepare the soft pastry. This time, the ratio of duck fat to flour is reduced.
Heat the duck fat first, then cool it slightly, then slowly pour it into the flour, stir well and set aside.
The heating temperature and stirring time all depend on experience. Generally speaking, no one who has taken more than ten years can master it just right. But Yuanzhou can just rely on the small flowers blooming from the oil and the hot steam coming out. It is very clear whether the temperature is suitable.
This is the gift of experience.
This time, we are making savory duck fat biscuits, so now Yuanzhou starts preparing the chopped green onion stuffing.
Take a handful of tender scallions and cut them into evenly sized scallions. Add duck fat, white pepper, and salt, and some flour. Mix well clockwise at a time, stirring gently to create a strong aroma.
The next step is to start making sesame cakes step by step. Yuanzhou prefers oval shapes, so everything he makes is in this shape.
Nowadays, sesame cakes are mostly made in ovens, which are used in households and large ones in restaurants. But here in Yuanzhou, they use the most original and most skillful fruit charcoal. The sesame cakes baked in this way are crispy and delicious, and the sesame seeds must be kept intact. It will burn black.
Prepare one piece and stick it into a small oven. This oven can bake twenty sesame cakes at a time. Yuan Zhou doesn't make many, and the old rule is a hundred at a time.
Some people like to eat sesame seed cakes cold, while others like to eat them hot, so Yuan Zhou took them out after they were baked and kept them warm.
Every time at this time, Yuan Zhou is the first to start eating, and this time is no exception.
The roasted duck fat biscuits are golden and crispy, with yellow skin and crisp shell. Each one is a regular oval shape.
The sesame seed cake exuded a charming aroma, and Yuan Zhou took a bite of it.
