As the stone mill squeaked and rotated at a constant speed, the aroma of glutinous rice flour spread slightly, but this was not enough. Yuan Zhou turned it four more times before grinding out fine powder.
"This glutinous rice is really fragrant." Yuan Zhou's voice was muffled by the mask.
Because the powder produced by the stone mill completely brings out the aroma of glutinous rice, and the way Yuan Zhou milled the stone, the aroma was completely included in the flour.
In fact, making cakes is very simple. It is nothing more than mixing the flour into a paste and then steaming it, or turning the flour into wet powder and then steaming it. This method is more difficult, and generally novices cannot make it.
Furthermore, the powder is mixed into a ball, and then made into a small pot, steamed or boiled, or even baked in an oven using a combination of Chinese and Western methods. These are all methods that have been developed and available today.
In fact, cake dumplings have a long history and a wide variety of varieties. They were found in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which shows its popularity.
There are twelve solar terms cake dumplings. According to the group, there are longevity dumplings and birthday cakes that the elderly like to make for longevity. Girls have honey cakes and bed-making dumplings when they get married. Children have shaved head dumplings and one-year-old dumplings for their full moon and first birthdays. There are flat dumplings for school entrance. Dumplings are a must-win cake for installing beams on a new house or for moving to a new house, and there are so many varieties.
What Yuan Zhou made today was five-color dumplings, which come in five colors: purple, goose yellow, green, snow white, and rose. The tastes are naturally different.
Of course, there is a priority in making the cakes. Yuanzhou chose to start with the pure white ones first, so the fillings should be made first.
Yuan Zhou was busy in the kitchen, and Shen Min was not idle either. When he walked out of the small street, there was a bus stop, where he stood waiting for the bus to the university town.
Taking advantage of this time, Shen Min took out an old Nokia and started making calls.
In this era, almost everyone uses fruit machines, and those who prefer domestic phones are mostly rice or Huawei phones. Only Shen Min still has an old Nokia that can crack walnuts.
I was teased by my roommate for this.
"Minmin, are you using Nokia for self-defense?" the girl who asked the question said curiously.
"You're wrong. If Minmin wants to defend herself, she should use Nokia's new mobile phone. That's a pentagon." Another student on the side immediately responded.
"Pentagon? What shape is this?" The girl who just asked looked surprised, and Shen Min looked at his classmates curiously.
"It's that kind of irregular pentagon. It has a very sharp right angle. With its mass, it can be used to stab someone to death." The student who explained climbed onto the bed and then explained.
"Incredible mobile phone. It seems that you should really buy this kind of self-defense. If you encounter a thief, you can stab it to death." The girl who first asked the question said blankly.
Because this mobile phone is so unique, Shen Min will think of this every time he takes out his mobile phone. Fortunately, the call is connected after a while.
"What's wrong with Minmin?" A clear female voice came from the other end of the phone. She sounded young.
"Xiaojia, have you found a job?" Shen Min asked tentatively.
"It can't be that easy. It's basically impossible for me to find a weekend job without a degree. What's wrong?" The girl named Xiaojia said straightforwardly. There was no frustration in her tone when she said this.
"I found it, it's a part-time job." Shen Min is not a particularly cheerful person, so he didn't directly say that he hoped Xiaojia would come to work.
"Great, congratulations. I'll bring you your favorite dried tofu next time we meet." Xiao Jia said happily.
"Thank you, but the boss said that he needs a waiter during the day from Monday to Friday. I will work at night and on weekends, one thousand and three thousand a week. We will split it. Xiaojia, can you accept it?" Hearing that Xiaojia was so happy for herself, Shen Min felt relieved and directly stated his purpose.
"Wow, one thousand three... This salary is very good. Is it really okay? I'm sure it will be fine." Xiaojia said happily on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, the boss said, let's go there together tomorrow..." Seeing that Xiaojia agreed, Shen Min smiled and started to explain, and then the two began to discuss on the phone how to allocate wages.
With everyone looking happy and happy, it seems that Yuanzhou’s employees are set on a sure footing.
Here, Yuanzhou added some Chengfen when making the white cake. Chengfen has a wide range of uses and complements each other in making snacks. It can increase the transparency of the white cake because it is made from wheat without gluten and other ingredients. It also has a slight wheat aroma, so that the white cake will have a richer taste and aroma.
But the key now is making the filling of the white cake dough.
Red dates need to be dried and then soaked before use, so Yuanzhou directly looked for a place to store dried fruits, and found it as expected.
"The color is bright and the jujube aroma is as strong as new. This is a newly made red jujube." Yuan Zhou picked up one and carefully identified it, even peeling it open and tasting it.
The system now reads: "Red dates cost ten yuan each."
"Circles and forks, this is just a chef's habit. Each one costs ten yuan. Even if I have money, you can't cheat me!" Yuan Zhou looked at the red dates he took a bite in speechlessly.
The system now reads: "This red date is of the highest quality from material selection to production process."
Afraid that Yuan Zhou wouldn't understand, the system directly turned on the show-off mode.
System text: "Jujube originated in China, where it has been cultivated for more than 8,000 years. It has been listed as one of the 'Five Fruits' (chestnut, peach, plum, apricot, and jujube) since ancient times, and is the seventh largest fruit in the world. Dried fruits are characterized by very high vitamin content and are known as natural vitamin pills.”
"This system uses Liulin jujube. Liulin has a cultivation history of more than 1,300 years. It uses jujubes produced from the branches and leaves of female jujube trees that are more than a thousand years old."
"Willow wood dates have small cores, thick flesh, and high sugar content. They are the best choice for making date paste. The date paste produced from it is bright in color, has a long-lasting fragrance, the meat is as moist as oil, the sugar threads are long and shiny, and the taste is especially sweet."
Will the tree become a monster if it lives for thousands of years
The introduction of the system has only one meaning. Ten yuan a piece is already a friendly price.
But Yuan Zhou didn't feel grateful at all. Instead, he always wanted to slap him every time the system displayed such long words.
The overwhelming power can no longer be endured.
"System, I think these dates can be sold individually." Yuan Zhou took the red dates and looked left and right, then swallowed the last bite.
He muttered, "Ten yuan a piece, you have paid the money and can't waste it." If it weren't for the fact that the date cores were inedible, Yuanzhou would have chewed them up and swallowed them. For ten yuan a piece, this is a life that is definitely middle class.
Use a special small basket to pick out a suitable number of dates, clean them, and start soaking them directly.
The soaking time is not too long, and then the soaking water is directly boiled over medium heat until the red dates become soft. Take the dates out again and start peeling and removing the cores.
Accompanied by the lingering aroma of dates, Yuan Zhou took out a new bamboo knife and prepared to start removing the pits. (.,,, your support is my biggest motivation.) 16-11-06 12:06:48
