Chapter 237 The meaning of mincemeat The Clamp Flower Palace Lantern Bun is a bun that requires a lot of **** skills, but is actually not too difficult. The biggest feature of this bun is that it looks good. At first glance, it looks white and clean, and the color is milky white, even a little translucent. It has eight laces like a palace lantern, and is decorated with half a red cherry on top. The color is monotonous but bright. It is a simple and beautiful bun that is not fancy. But if you get closer and take a closer look, you will find that this bun is not simple at all. On the contrary, it has many small patterns. Each lace is carefully made, and all leaves need to be slightly turned outwards. The patterns on each lace are the same size and equidistant, and are clamped one by one with flower clips. Even the rounded overall shape should be uniform and rounded to present the most comfortable, generous and simple effect visually. The reason why the tongs flower palace lantern bag doesn't look fancy at first is because the makers want to give you this feeling. The actual modeling steps are very complicated. Even the dough needs to be made slightly hard like the dough of noodle to facilitate shaping. At this time, someone may want to ask, Qin Huai has never made a flower palace lantern bag, and there is not much information about the flower palace lantern bag on the market. How did he know so clearly about the flower palace lantern bag. Because Zheng Da can do it.
Friends who read carefully must still remember that Zheng Da has two characteristics in making dim sum. It is too simple and he doesn’t bother to make it; it is too difficult and he is often too lazy to make it. The palace lantern bag with tongs is one of Zheng Da’s favorite snacks. In terms of technical difficulty, it’s really not that much. It’s essentially just an ordinary bun with bean paste filling or sesame candy filling. If you want to be lazy, you can make it with bean paste filling. If you want to increase the difficulty, you can make sesame candy filling. No matter how hard you work, you can’t turn it over. Flowers come out. The dough is also an ordinary dough, not too demanding or difficult, but the dough needs to be made a little harder for shaping. And the difficulty of shaping is not as high as that of dough, so the difficulty of making dough is not that high. The most difficult thing is the modeling, but the modeling is not as difficult as Mian Guoer. Mian Guoer has extremely high requirements for the chef's aesthetics and imagination. You will not be able to make good Mian Guo by copying the cat and the tiger, and copying the gourd and the gourd. After making Mian Guoer, you are already pursuing art, and you have no artistic talent. The chef cannot make good food. But the tonghua palace lantern bag is different, its shape is fixed. It is simply tedious, requires patience, carefulness, and tests the chef's **** skills. Qin Huai previously thought that Zheng Da would most likely not be able to make palace lantern bags with tongs, because he felt that Zheng Da didn't like making such tedious snacks. Later, Qin Huai asked Zheng Da and found out that he was wrong. It was so wrong. He still looked down on Master Zheng a little. Zheng Da doesn't like to do it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do it. At critical moments, Master Zheng still likes to take out this impressive-looking snack to prove his strength. The clamp flower palace lantern bag is very stylish from its name to its shape. Last time Qin Huai asked Zheng Da, in order to prove that he really knew how to do it, Zheng Da took out his tools and made two for Qin Huai on the spot. He also sharpened his flower clips for Qin Huai, making them particularly suitable for making flower pliers bags. It's just that Qin Huai has never tried it for such a long time. It's not that Qin Huai specifically ignored the Clipper Flower Palace Lantern Buns, it was mainly because Qin Huai didn't expect Sixi Rice Balls to be so difficult. Just looking at the name, who would have thought that the difficulty of making Sixi Rice Balls is actually more difficult than that of Clipper Flower Palace Lantern Buns? At first, Qin Huai wanted to get the Sixi Rice Balls first, and then challenge the Clipper Flower Palace Lantern Bun. After all, Qin Huai's **** skills are only elementary. Although his apple noodle fruit does not look like elementary **** at all, like Meng Po's soup after missing two sips, it does not change the fact that he does not shape the snacks at all. Zheng Siyuan still can’t forget the black Doraemon flower bun that Qin Huai made a few months ago. Although both Qin Huai and Qin Luo thought the steamed bun was pretty good, Qin Huai thought the black Doraemon was very creative, and Qin Luo thought the steamed bun stuffed with meat was delicious, Zheng Siyuan just wanted to strangle the two siblings to death.
It can only be said that Zheng Siyuan is now able to accept mincemeat from so many raw materials, and firmly believes that there must be delicious mincemeat made with such complex materials in the world. This is inseparable from the excitement in the past few months. Zheng Siyuan has endured too much. Qin Huai:? Why was he half-finished the palace lantern bag? Suddenly he began to feel a little sorry for Zheng Siyuan. Forget it, don’t think too much and continue styling the buns. Qin Huai took the flower clips and clipped patterns one by one. Qin Huai began to understand Zheng Da a little. If it wasn’t for showing off skills and showing off, who would want to make such complicated desserts? Dead hand, move quickly! There are still 7 laces to add! When Qin Huai was making the lantern package for the palace, everyone in the room except Chen Huihong went back to their homes. Even Gong Liang and his wife went back to the next door, excitedly waiting for the birth of the Clipper Flower Palace Lantern Bag at home. Gong Liang had already thought about it. When he ate the Clipper Flower Palace Lantern Bun later, he would hold back from taking a bite and take a photo to post on WeChat. Take a picture of the nine-square grid and display the flower palace lantern bag in 360 degrees without any blind spots. You must become the most beautiful person in your circle of friends tonight! Let everyone know who is the real No. 1 pick of Master Xiao Qin and Xiao Zao. Gong Liang is still at home looking forward to the shape of the palace lantern bag with flower clamps. Chen Huihong has already moved a small stool and is sitting in the kitchen, eating winter dates and watching fiercely. "Is it my imagination? Why do I think this bun is so difficult to make?" Chen Huihong didn't quite understand. "Why haven't you bought the sugar from Xiaoou? Do you want me to call and ask?" "It's just laborious." Qin Huai sighed, feeling so weak for the first time with his elementary **** skills. "The shape of this bun is too delicate. I can't get used to it for the first time." In fact, if Qin Huai had followed the general shape of the tongs flower bag on the Internet and randomly created a new shape of the tongs and palace lantern bag, it might not have been as laborious as it is now. But Qin Huai had seen the genuine product made by Zheng Da. You can say that Zheng Da is lazy, you can say that Zheng Da is not doing his job properly, but you can't say that Zheng Da is good at cooking. Master Zheng, as the white chef, is also a hexagon warrior. Qin Huai used the fully decorated palace lantern bag made by Zheng Da to show off his skills as a template. When he re-engraved it, he almost wanted to change his hands. Brain: Got it? Hand: roll. Qin Huai pinched two more patterns and said: "Ouyang didn't come back so soon after buying sugar. The normal convenience stores nearby are closed at this time. The nearest 24-hour convenience store is kilometers away. Plus, there are some at the door of that convenience store. Grilled sausages, octopus balls, hand cakes and grilled cold noodles. Ouyang ate two mince-filled dumplings tonight. He would definitely not be able to walk away from these stalls, and he would have to finish eating before he could come back." Qin Huai said that he had made arrangements for Ouyang clearly. "I don't have much sugar at home, but I don't have any. I just found a reason to spend it." Chen Huihong nodded: "It's really uncomfortable to eat the dumplings with mint filling. It's too sweet and greasy, and it also has a messy taste. No wonder even Xiao Ou can't stand it." "There is no other way. I tried my best, but there are too many raw materials for mince filling glutinous rice dumplings. The amount is unreasonable. I have never seen such a ridiculous recipe. Now I can't wait for Gong Liang to give me another branch. For the task, when overtaking on a curve, I first looked at his memory and found out the recipe for mince-filled gnocchi to read the correct tutorial.” "How can anyone cook like this? Throwing all the raw materials into the pot, isn't this a mess?" Qin Huai couldn't help complaining.
Chen Huihong gnawed the winter dates silently without saying anything, as if she was thinking about something. She watched Qin Huai finish clipping a piece of lace, and then said slowly: "It's not... not at all." Qin Huai:? Qin Huai looked up at Chen Huihong and found that Chen Huihong looked like he was recalling the past. He knew that it was definitely not the memory of this life that he wanted to search for. "When I was a crazy lady in Peiping, I actually had a similar type of food." Qin Huai:? ? Did the crazy lady suffer like this back then? It seems that it is not easy to bring goods to Internet celebrities. There is still a price to pay for collecting money to eat. Finding that Qin Huai looked at her with a little sympathy, Chen Huihong knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "It's not what you think, it's actually quite delicious." "Do you know about Cannonball?" Chen Huihong asked. Qin Huai nodded: "Of course I know. One of the eight delicacies is actually roast suckling pig. Various ingredients are stuffed into the pig's belly and roasted. I have never eaten the serious cannonball. Roast suckling pig is served every year during the Chinese New Year. We eat them all. My relatives like to send roasted suckling pig, roasted goose, roasted duck, barbecued pork, and plain-cut chicken to my grandparents’ house during the Chinese New Year.” Chen Huihong:? Does your family send these as gifts during the Chinese New Year? "It may be more common now, but at that time, cannonball was an absolutely rare dish. Prince Baylor, who was a little more downtrodden, would only order cannonball from a restaurant during the Chinese New Year just to fill the occasion." "After Huiniang passed away, I stayed in Peking for a few more years. I think by that time, some people might have guessed that I was no longer a popular lady, but the nobles didn't care at all, and I don't care either, as long as I have something to eat and play with." "One time, a young man from the governor's family came to Peiping. He brought a cook with him to compete with other young men." "It's hard to compare with other dishes, but it's better than Cannon Pork. All kinds of weird and weird ingredients are added to Cannon Pork, but the price is worth a thousand dollars." "Live fish brought from the south, fresh bear paws, bear bile, and tiger meat freshly hunted by hunters, matsutake mushrooms that are difficult to harvest in the mountains of the southwest, some caviar and foie gras from the West, fresh food that is hard to find in winter Vegetables, if there are dragon liver, phoenix and gallbladder, I can’t wait to ask the cook to add dragon liver, phoenix and gallbladder.” "The ingredients are much more complicated than your mincemeat filling. Everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, and is buried in the soil, as long as it is valuable and rare, has to be stuffed into the pig's belly. Finally, The cooked cannonball must be so delicious that it scared the owners and cooks of several restaurants and ran away overnight.” "Is the food made by those who didn't run delicious?" Qin Huai asked curiously. Chen Huihong had never told such a wonderful story before. Chen Huihong thought for a while: "General." "You can't say that. It's actually the taste of cannonball. Now that I think about it, those cooks were pretty good at that time. With so many miscellaneous things added, the final cannonball tastes almost the same as the original." Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! "I didn't understand it at the time, but I can understand it now. Those wealthy young men don't pursue delicious dishes. They pursue expensive, fresh, and unique dishes. They just want to compare with others." "In addition, those restaurant owners also know how to name the cannonballs. They name the cannonballs like Dragon and Phoenix, Prosperity, Ruyi Cannonball, Eight Treasures, Eight Treasures, Eight Flavors, Eight Blessings and Eight Happiness Cannonballs. They are full of auspicious words, as if the ingredients they fill are precious enough. There is enough blessing and joy in it, and if you eat it, you will live a long life.” "At that time, the owners of various restaurants also made cannonballs that tasted bad, which made the nobles above them unhappy. Whenever Tai Feng Restaurant made a new flavor of cannonballs, Boss Lu would ask me to come over and taste it. I felt that every time The taste is almost the same, but it seems that Boss Lu can rest assured if there is no difference.” Qin Huai commented sharply: "Because there is no difference, it is the safest. Previously, the noble was satisfied with the taste, but he was afraid that the taste would change and the noble would be dissatisfied and cause trouble." In troubled times, even the cook is not safe. "So, Sister Hong, do you know why the chefs at Tai Feng House can make the cannonballs with different ingredients taste the same?" Qin Huai asked. Chen Huihong shook his head: "I don't know how to cook. How can someone who can chop vegetables to the heel at home know such a secret recipe? But I think I was just fooling around. At that time, all the major restaurants in Peking were fooling around. His attitude fooled the noble people above."
"You have to be fooling in your actions, and you have to be full of words in your words. The taste of the dish can be the same, but the ingredients must be different, the shape must be fancy, the name must be nice, and the meaning must be beautiful." fool. Qin Huai's hand holding the flower clip paused. Wait, fool. Qin Huai suddenly remembered the deep impression Gong Liang and Zheng Da had on that mince-filled glutinous rice dumpling. Used a lot of winter melon sugar. There were so many that Master Jing himself didn’t prepare enough, so Zheng Da went home and plundered 5 pounds of winter melon candies to add more. Because winter melon candy is one of the important ingredients for making mint filling, no matter what kind of mint filling, winter melon candy is the absolute protagonist, so Qin Huai didn't pay much attention to it. But what if Master Jing deliberately used such a large amount of winter melon candy? If the true meaning of mincemeat is fooling around. At that time, the nobles in Peiping were competing for wealth, and the bosses of major restaurants were so worried that they lost their hair and cooked cannonballs in a deceptive way. The taste was not as good as the meaning. The Eight Treasures and Eight Blessings and Eight Happinesses, good fortune and wealth, auspicious dragon and phoenix, a hundred years of good harmony, and a long life. The rarity and variety of ingredients are directly linked to auspicious meanings. The more you cherish, the better the meaning. What if Master Jing thought the same way at that time? When Chen Huihong was eating and drinking at Tai Feng House, the chef was Jiang Chengde. Master Jing's real name is Jiang Weijin, and he is the son of Jiang Chengde. At his age, he may not understand the story of the fight for wealth, but he must be deeply impressed by those weird cannonballs, and at the same time remember the beautiful meanings represented by these cannonballs. Whether it’s Sixi Rice Balls or Clipper Flower Palace Lantern Buns, they are all foods with beautiful meanings. Perhaps at that time, Master Jing used such complicated ingredients, used so much winter melon sugar, so many nuts, spent so much money, and finally made the dumplings with mince filling in a fool-proof way. He actually wanted to give the younger generation a beautiful meaning and meaning. bless. Eight treasures, eight joys and eight blessings, good fortune and wealth, a hundred years of good harmony, good health and a long life. Qin Huai suddenly realized that he wanted to be simple, but also wanted to be complicated. That meal was Gong Liang's birthday party. It was also the birthday party for Gong Liang to get up from the bottom, regain his strength, regain hope in life, and start a new life. Master Jing hopes that Gong Liang’s future life will be as smooth and smooth as the blessings contained in Sixi Rice Balls, without any twists and turns. So even though it was not necessary, he made such complicated mince-filled gnocchi. Because the dumplings with mint filling this time were very special, Master Jing has rarely made them since then. After so many years, even the man who made the dumplings had been dead for many years, Qin Huai felt as if he was in a similar place, in a different time and space, and understood the good wishes of the master who made the dumplings. Qin Huai silently styled the flower palace lantern bag. Chen Huihong continued to eat winter dates. She was waiting for the bunny pack. After Qin Huai finished making the tongs and palace lanterns and steamed them, he could make a few rabbit buns for Chen Huihong during the steaming time and asked her to take the embryos back and give them to Huihui for breakfast tomorrow morning. The tonghua palace lantern is wrapped. Qin Huai felt that his **** skills should be upgraded.
These two clamp flower palace lantern bags simply exhausted his energy for the whole night. Ouyang pushed the door open at this moment, holding a cake in his left hand and baking cold noodles in his right hand. He still had half of an uneaten grilled sausage in his mouth. Two packets of sugar could be seen vaguely on the side of the bag of cold noodles. "Qin Huai, do you want to eat grilled cold noodles and hand cakes? I tell you it's delicious, it tastes amazing!" Ouyang asked loudly, pushed the door and walked into the kitchen, and was startled when he saw the tonghua palace lantern bag on the steamer. "Damn it, this bun..." "Is it a little crooked?" Qin Huai: "...shut up and stay out of the business of clamping flowers and palace lanterns." "By the way, Ouyang, are you free tomorrow? If you are, go buy me 40 pounds of winter melon candies." "I'm going to work **** making gnocchi with mint filling." With a snap, the cold baked noodles in Ouyang's hand fell to the ground. 40 pounds of winter melon candies, how many mince filling gnocchi need to be made! Dad, I was wrong. Your flower bag is so beautiful. It’s not crooked at all. It was because I tilted my head just now that I looked crooked. It’s beautiful, it’s really beautiful, it’s a work of art! Let’s make less mince filling gnocchi. I really can’t stand eating it every day! (End of chapter)
