Chapter 86 Rice Cake

At 6:32, Qin Luo, who was stuck on the last day to get up for school, rushed to the cafeteria, grabbed a few steamed buns at random, and was stuffed with two sesame seed cakes and crab shell roe by Qin Huai. After that, he rushed to school on the bus with tears in his eyes, carrying his brother's love.
Taking the bus to go to an international school, Qin Luo is getting the treatment of a white-flowered heroine in a campus novel who comes from a commoner background but sneaks into an international school.
At 12 o'clock, Qin Huai got off work on time, had dinner, and then continued to play with the stove.
In the afternoon, he was making glutinous rice cakes, so he didn't have much time to play with the stove. Qin Huai felt reluctant to give up just thinking about it.
A batch of sesame seed cakes came out of the oven. As usual, Qin Huai gnawed one himself and then started preparing the next batch.
Turning around, I found that the new breakfast chef, Chen An, hadn't left yet.
"Master Chen, you get off work at 12 o'clock." Qin Huai thought that it was Chen An's first day at work and did not dare to leave until he understood the off work time, so he reminded him loudly.
Chen An nodded a little cautiously, but still didn't leave, saying: "Well... the snacks I made in the morning haven't been sold out yet, I want to keep them to see the sales situation in the afternoon."
Chen An is a breakfast hexagon warrior and a basic snack player. The number of snacks he can make is very limited. The best ones are anhydrous chicken cakes, then honeycomb buns, followed by egg tarts. They are all cheap, large and affordable.
of.
This kind of snack would be very popular if placed at the entrance of an ordinary community, but it is a bit acclimated to the Yunzhong Canteen. After all, the adults, office workers, and passers-by in this area have all seen the world, and they are just waterless chicken cakes.
It doesn't capture their taste buds at all.
However, although Chen An was slightly lacking in dim sum, Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong were still very satisfied with him.
Although the young man's level needs to be improved, his work attitude is good!
It was so hard to work, and I didn't stop all morning, and I didn't catch much fish.
Qin Huai thought of Qin Congwen's evaluation of Chen An, and was a little surprised. He thought to himself that this was more than just not fishing, and he even took the initiative to apply for overtime. What kind of work spirit was this!
"Don't be stressed. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it. The worst thing you can do is take care of breakfast from now on. I'll teach you how to make a donkey roll. It's simple." Qin Huai said thoughtfully.
Chen An nodded, cheering inwardly.
Great, I found a good reason to stay and enjoy the fun without having to increase my working hours.
He has been selling breakfast for so many years, and worked as a pastry chef for several years in between, but he has never seen diners fight over the pastries.
The morning dispute subsided a little too quickly, and he didn't even have time to savor it.
It looks good, I love watching it, I like watching it.
You should also watch when you move a small bench and eat melon seeds.
Qin Huai didn't know that the new breakfast chef liked to eat melons and watch the fun. After baking the last batch of crab shell roe and sesame cakes, Qin Huai picked a few good-looking ones and put them on a separate small plate, saving them for when he came back from school in the evening.
Qin Luo, who was doing his homework, ate it as a midnight snack.
The rest were divided up by the uncles and aunties who had been waiting for a long time, including a lucky office worker. Seeing that it was not easy for him to come over to stay at work, the uncles and aunties reluctantly allowed him to take away a crab shell roe and a
Shaobing.
After handing the stove to An Youyou to clean, Qin Huai began to prepare glutinous rice cakes.
Rice cake, a snack that often appears in movies and TV dramas and is loved by empresses of all palaces, sounds very high-end but is actually very common.
Jiangmi is actually glutinous rice.
In an era of low productivity, all ingredients related to rice were valuable fine grains. A bowl full of white rice was a luxury that ordinary people could only hope for, let alone snacks made from glutinous rice.
Qin Huai knew how to make glutinous rice cakes because Qin Luo loved to watch palace dramas for a while.
The empresses in palace dramas often make glutinous rice cakes, crab powder cakes, Bazhen cakes, white jade creams, and jade bean cakes. Their names sound very high-end. Others watch palace dramas to see the intrigues in the palace, but Qin Luo watches palace dramas.
What does the empress eat for three meals a day?
The names of these dim sum sounds very difficult, but it is not difficult to actually make them. Of course, it may also be because the recipes Qin Huai saw on the Internet and in the Dim Sum Encyclopedia are not palace-style recipes. After all, glutinous rice cakes are made from glutinous rice cakes wrapped in bean paste.
A long strip has no shape.
Qin Huai felt that no matter how miserable the empress in the palace was, she would not eat such unsightly snacks.
Qin Luo thought so too. She once tried to get Qin Huai to put some thought into giving Jiangmi rice cakes a good-looking shape, and then had a mixed doubles match between Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen.
Some of them are good to eat, but if you choose this and that one and have to do some styling, who do you think you are? The empress of the palace? You don’t even look at your Chinese/Mathematics/Physics/Chemistry/History/Geography/Politics
points!
For Qin Luo, getting beaten up for eating food is always memorable. Although the glutinous rice cake is not to her liking, does not look very good, and is even a little bloating, it is worth remembering.
Therefore, Qin Luo would ask for a meal of glutinous rice cakes every once in a while, which made Qin Huai's proficiency in glutinous rice cakes far better than that of white jade cream and crab cakes.
Now, Qin Huai began to make glutinous rice cakes.
The focus of glutinous rice cake is glutinous rice.
There are two types of glutinous rice, long glutinous rice grows in the south and round glutinous rice grows in the north.
According to the description of glutinous rice in the tutorial sent by Huang Shengli, the round glutinous rice in the north has a smooth and chewy texture, and is suitable for making staple foods, such as glutinous rice, siomai, rice dumplings, etc.
The long glutinous rice from the south has a very high stickiness after being cooked, so it is suitable for making rice cakes, glutinous rice dumplings, and soft and glutinous snacks.
Qin Huai did not have this knowledge before, because he had been living in Guangdong Province before. When he went to the wet market to buy glutinous rice, he could only buy long glutinous rice.
As for siomai...
To be honest, Qin’s Breakfast Restaurant has always used long-glutinous rice to make shaomai for so many years. I really feel sorry for the residents of Sanma Road Community.
The quality of glutinous rice directly determines the quality of glutinous rice cake.
The quality of the glutinous rice today is very good.
The steps to make glutinous rice cakes are relatively complicated. You need to wash the glutinous rice and soak it in cold water for at least 30 minutes to fully soak it, then drain the water and steam it in a steamer over high heat for an hour.
After steaming, take it out, pour boiling water in it and stir continuously in one direction. Wait until the water and rice are completely melted and mixed together, then steam for another 30 minutes.
Then continue stirring until the glutinous rice that has formed into a ball becomes sticky, and then steam it.
After steaming, cover with a damp cloth and wait for 12 hours.
This 12 hours is only an approximate time, and the exact amount depends on the feeling of the maker. When Qinhuai makes glutinous rice cakes, it is usually steamed in the afternoon of the first day, covered all night until it is finished and processed early the next morning. The time is much longer than 12 hours.
Luo Jun is destined not to be able to eat glutinous rice cake today.
Crab shell yellow and sesame cakes are not available either.
Making rice cakes is definitely a laborious task. Qin Huai didn't want to do anything after completing the above steps. He just wanted to wait for the tangerine peel tea and beef soup to come out of the pot.
Every time this time comes, the importance of Qin Luo will be highlighted.
Every time Qin Luo wanted to eat glutinous rice cakes before, she did the stirring step. The child was very strong, and the glutinous rice balls that were stirred were thick and smooth. You could tell at a glance that a lot of effort had been put into it.
In order to prevent Luo Jun from being too monotonous when drinking tangerine peel tea alone, Qin Huai added a piece of the unsold anhydrous chicken cake made by Chen An, which won Luo Jun's one-star praise.
Luo Jun said that if you really don’t have anything, don’t add more, and don’t fool him with such messy snacks.
Qin Huai gnawed on the chicken cake and felt that Luo Jun's mouth was still too tricky. As for the water-free chicken cake, Chen An was already very good.
Qin Huai gnawed on the chicken cake and took a sip of beef soup. He felt that today's beef soup was good.
Since using the small stove to practice cooking, Qin Huai feels that his control over heat has improved a lot, and he is now more comfortable cooking soup.
"Ouyang, what do you think of today's beef soup?" Qin Huai asked while standing at the window.
"Yes, it tastes good." Ouyang Pengtian gave a thumbs up, "But I don't think the beef soup goes well with this chicken cake. This chicken cake is a bit choking, but it tastes better with sesame biscuits."
Qin Huai:......
There was no need for him to ask.
Qin Huai continued to drink soup, and seeing Chen An still sitting at the table outside, seemingly waiting for something, he said: "Master Chen, don't worry, the cakes have not been sold out in the afternoon, they will be packed with rice and sold at a special price in the evening.
It won’t be wasted.”
"You have to come to work tomorrow morning. I remember that your home is quite far away. Go back to bed early."
Chen An knew that he had to go back to sleep.
But he hasn't seen anyone quarreling over snacks yet.
Qin Huai did not make any snacks that could be sold this afternoon. The uncles and aunts were very harmonious and sat in the cafeteria just chatting.
After seeing Qin Huai finishing his work and making sure there were no randomly dropped snacks, he patted his butt and went home.
Chen An was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. He just asked: "Master Xiao Qin, do you have extra snacks to sell tomorrow afternoon?"
"Tomorrow afternoon?" Qin Huai thought for a while, "I may have to go to the hospital tomorrow afternoon, but I may not be in the store. What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I just want to see what kind of snacks you have that are popular so that I can learn to improve them." Chen And said, thinking that he wouldn't have to make excuses to stay tomorrow afternoon. He would just look for it the day after tomorrow.
He just wants to watch the fun, why is it so difficult?
Qin Huai was so moved that he praised Chen An in his heart.
The glutinous rice cakes will be ready tomorrow and will be sent to Luo Jun to try first. As long as Luo Jun, the naughty-mouthed person, nods and says it's okay, he will pack two kilograms of them and take them to the hospital.
Qin Huai checked specifically and found that Qu Jing would not have a clinic tomorrow afternoon.
Perfect.
Chapter completed!
