Qin Huai didn't expect that mint filling could be wrapped in glutinous rice balls. Judging from Gong Liang's expression and tone, Qin Huai absolutely believed that Jiang Weijin's mint filling dumplings were delicious.
But if it’s mince filling, it’s a problem.
Qin Huai didn't know how to make this kind of filling. He had only heard that mint filling usually appeared in moon cakes, but Qin Huai had never made moon cakes.
After all, the breakfast shop selling Sanding Bao and Sixi dumplings is already the limit. If it sells mooncakes again, the Qin Family Breakfast Restaurant can be renamed as the Qin Family Breakfast Restaurant selling everything.
Of course, the main reason is that Qin Luo doesn't like mooncakes very much.
There used to be a small shop in Qiu County that made very delicious five-nut mooncakes. The ingredients were authentic and the dried fruits were all carefully selected and top-grade. They were sweet but not greasy. They were not like most of the five-nut mooncakes on the market.
It's sweet and greasy, and you'll go straight to heaven when you take another bite.
The owner of the small shop in the back retired, and Qiu County lost its delicious five-nut mooncakes. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Qin Dynasty, he embraced double husk lotus seed again. As the price of double husk lotus seed increased day by day, it continued to rise, and online shopping became popular.
After discovering Yunshan mooncakes on the Internet, Qin Huai switched to eating Yunshan mooncakes.
As of last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Congwen insisted on the old tradition and had to eat five-nut mooncakes on the festival day.
Zhao Rong sneered at the cheap and unpalatable five-nut mooncakes that Qin Congwen bought from someone who didn't know where. She scolded the double-yolk lotus seed paste for being expensive and bought the most expensive one.
Qin Luo ate a lot of cloud-legged mooncakes from one month before the festival to one month after the festival. Those who knew she was eating mooncakes, but those who didn't knew thought she was eating snacks.
As for Qin Huai...
He tasted a little of everything.
Qin Huai never understood why his parents and Luo Luo were so obsessed with buying moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Except for Qin Luo's selfish desire to eat all the moon cakes, there was no need to buy other moon cakes at all.
Relatives and friends have given me so much that I can’t finish it all.
Before Qin Huai inherited the inheritance and opened the Yunzhong Canteen in Shanshi City, relatives from all walks of life in the Qin family competed with each other every New Year.
They send mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival, candies on Halloween, random gifts on Christmas, and blessings on New Year's Day. They mainly focus on a mix of local and foreign festivals. If conditions didn't allow it, Qin Huai thinks they would even want to send some on Arbor Day and April Fool's Day.
thing.
Normally, enough food is given away for the holidays, so during the Chinese New Year, you can come to your door and eat so much, you can even take it with you.
Every year, Qinhuai's family has so many mooncakes and rice dumplings that they can't finish them all, and they end up sending them to the welfare home. Every Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, the children in the welfare home start eating mooncakes and rice dumplings, eating mooncakes and rice dumplings with all their strength.
During these two festivals, Qin Huai will change from Brother Baobao to Brother Cake and Brother Zongzong.
Qin Huai came back to his senses from the memory of mooncakes.
He originally thought that Sixi Rice Balls was a free-point question, but he did not expect that it was an additional question.
Teacher, I have never learned this knowledge before.
Mince filling really involves knowledge blind spots.
You really can't do this.
Qin Huai didn't even know the specific ingredients required for mince filling. He only knew that there was no fixed formula for this filling. It was mainly composed of nuts, candied fruits and sugar. The specific ingredients depended on the chef's recipe.
Qin Huai was still thinking. Gong Baozhu had already finished the second shepherd's purse glutinous rice ball. He wanted to go back to scooping the sesame-filled glutinous rice balls into the first bowl, but Guo Mingzhu picked up the bowl.
"Baozhu, this glutinous rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice flour. If you eat too much glutinous rice at night, you can't digest it. Eat less and mom will eat the rest." Guo Mingzhu used a trick to steal the glutinous rice dumpling in front of her daughter.
Gong Baozhu realized that the situation was not good, and was about to stop the loss in time and lowered his head to pick up another bowl. When he lowered his head, he found that the bowl was gone, and Gong Liang was eating from the bowl.
Gong Baozhu:!
Her mother's move wasn't just about taking advantage of others, she was trying to make a fool of herself in the east or west!
She helped her parents eat the shepherd's purse glutinous rice balls that they didn't like, so her parents killed the donkey and refused to let her eat the remaining three glutinous rice balls!
Gong Baozhu shed tears of regret in her heart.
If I had known this, I would have eaten the one with sesame filling first, and I could have eaten one more.
While Gong Baozhu was crying in his heart, Qin Huai finished thinking.
I can't think of it at all.
I don't have any useful information about mince filling making in my mind, so I can't think about it, so I just ask.
"Mr. Gong, do you know how to make the mince filling you just mentioned?" Qin Huai asked seriously.
This question deeply stopped Gong Liang. Gong Liang held up a spoon. There was a whole big and beautiful glutinous rice ball stuffed with red bean paste in the spoon. However, he didn't open his mouth. He thought for dozens of seconds in embarrassment and shook his head.
"I don't know, I only know to use winter melon candy."
"When Master Jing was making dumplings with mince filling, he didn't have enough winter melon candy at home, so he borrowed all the winter melon candy from me."
Winter Melon Candy Qin Huai knows a very sweet kind of winter melon candied fruit, so sweet that it is cloying. Qin Huai ate it in the orphanage when he was very young. It may not be good to eat alone, but it should be good to make mince filling.
"Then do you know where I can buy dumplings with mince filling?" Qin Huai asked next.
This question was asked to Gong Liang again.
"Basically you can't buy it now. The dumplings with mint filling are just like the five-nut mooncakes. Everyone finds it unpalatable and no one eats them." Gong Baozhu responded, "When I was in kindergarten, the small shop in front of the school still sold mints.
The dumplings with stuffing and mint filling are more expensive than those stuffed with meat."
"At that time, I thought the mince filling was very sweet and delicious. But as I grew up, I found it was too sweet and cloyingly sweet. The mint filling was originally more expensive than other products and not delicious. As time went by, no one liked it.
They sell mince fillings. It’s better to buy shepherd’s purse fillings or radish fillings, which are delicious and cheap.”
"That's because the price of candied fruits and dried fruits has increased." Guo Mingzhu stood at the door of the kitchen and spoke out for the mint filling. "To make dumplings with mint filling, you need to use good quality candied fruits and dried fruits, and use lard to cook them. Once work is cut off,
reduce
The ingredients are made of second-class ingredients. Cheaply bought lard and cheaply bought candied fruits are mixed together and boiled in a pot. After melting, it becomes sweet and greasy, just like eating fat with saccharin added.
Is it tasty?"
"The mince-filled gnocchi you ordered from the restaurant you loved to eat when you were a kid were just mediocre and terrifyingly sweet. That is to say, you loved sweet things when you were a kid and couldn't get enough of them. You always made a fuss about eating them every time after school, and you had to eat two.
.”
"I had to eat two, but I couldn't finish half of it and threw it to your dad and me. At that time, your dad and I turned green when we saw that sweet glutinous rice dumpling. We drew lots at home every day to decide who would pick you up and who would pick you up.
Your brother."
Gong Baozhu:......
Oh, this feeling of having your mother tell you embarrassing things about your childhood in front of outsiders...
Gong Baozhu wanted to dig a hole in the floor and hide downstairs.
"But what Master Jing makes is really different!" Guo Mingzhu also began to strongly recommend Master Jing's mince-filled glutinous rice balls, "When Lao Gong celebrated his birthday that year, I also ate a bowl of the glutinous rice balls cooked by Master Jing.
The taste is truly unforgettable.”
"Chop the candied fruits and dried fruits and put them into the dumplings. When you eat them, they are hot, sweet and not greasy at all."
"I remember that time when Master Jing cooked a big pot, the four flavors of glutinous rice dumplings didn't come in different shapes, but they all looked the same. We all wanted to eat the mince-filled dumplings, and we ate them one by one until we couldn't eat any more.
Master Jing brought out another plate of particularly beautiful steamed buns. I was not married to Gong Liang at that time, so I almost rolled my eyes at his house." Guo Mingzhu said with a smile.
"Oh? Is this the case?" Gong Liang teased.
Guo Mingzhu glanced at him angrily: "You're not much better, you just rolled your eyes and had to hold on to the wall to walk."
After finishing speaking, Guo Mingzhu sighed: "But it was only once. Master Jing had an accident not long after he retired. Since then, he has not been able to cook and make delicate snacks."
"If Master Jing was still here, our Baozhu might have had the opportunity to eat the really delicious Sixi Rice Balls. When we were young, we wouldn't have been so worthless and insisted on eating that unpalatable restaurant, which made both of us miserable."
Gong Baozhu: "Mom!"
Stop talking, I want face from your daughter!
When Qin Huai finally returned, Guo Mingzhu stuffed two bottles of freshly squeezed juice into his hand. Gong Liang couldn't find Yunwu on the mountain, which he had longed for, and felt that he couldn't give away the remaining tea, so he planned to go back to several other houses to look for it tomorrow.
When Qin Huai went home with the juice, he saw the tea Gong Liye gave him at noon on the porch.
Clouds and fog on the mountains.
Qin Huai:......
What did Gong Liye say when he gave himself tea at noon? He said it was a good tea he bought some time ago.
Well, I got it from my biological father too.
Qin Huai could only say that the father and son's ideas for giving gifts were very consistent.
Qin Huai glanced at the dining table. Ouyang had finished his bowl of Sixi Rice Balls, and Ouyang thoughtfully put his own bowl into the insulator.
