Chapter 33 Big Meat Buns Mung Bean Cake, Goodbye Snack Boss
Li Rong thought for a long time. From the time she started making braised meat to making sausages, she was targeting customers who could afford it. Now when she makes dim sum, she shouldn't worry about others not being able to afford it.
As long as you make the food delicious, people will always buy the delicious food.
Li Rong did what she said, took out her winter bicycle, rode to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town, and bought Fuqiang powder and red beans and mung beans.
Zhao Qingsong came home from work and saw Li Rong unloading things. He walked over quickly to help Li Rong move things into the kitchen.
Fifty pounds of Fuqiang noodles were definitely not bought for her own consumption. After Zhao Qingsong put them away, he asked her: "What are you planning to do this time?"
"Make snacks."
"Dim sum?" Zhao Qingsong was puzzled.
Li Rong explained it to him and asked him his opinion: "What do you think?"
"If you want to do it, just do it." Zhao Qingsong supported Li Rong's idea. No matter what the result was, he just hoped that Li Rong would be happy.
"You're so kind." Li Rong pulled down her sleeves and wiped the sweat from Zhao Qingsong's forehead.
"Hey, I'm your man. If I'm not good, who's better?" Zhao Qingsong held Li Rong in his hands and kissed her, "I'm hungry, my wife."
"Cooking now."
Li Rong hoisted the drum bones she bought to make soup stock, and then took some Fuqiang powder to stretch the noodles. Zhao Qingsong was responsible for lighting the fire.
Boil the cooked noodles, put them in the soup stock, and sprinkle with chopped green onion. It looks attractive and is even more delicious when you eat it.
The weather in spring is actually not hot, but cool, but perhaps Zhao Qingsong was so angry that he ate two bowls in a row and sweated a lot.
After finishing the meal, Li Rong chopped the pork she bought and marinated it with seasonings without adding other vegetables. Then she soaked the red and mung beans in water and went to take a shower after finishing.
The things she made took a lot of time, and Li Rong had to rush to the morning market. Zhao Qingsong knew that she had to get up very early, so he didn't dare to make trouble too late at night. After finishing the work, he touched Li Rong's face, feeling a little hoarse afterwards.
The voice said: "Call me when you get up and I will help you with your work."
Li Rong was very tired and groaned, not sure if she heard clearly what Zhao Qingsong said.
It was around the time when the rooster crows that Li Rong woke up immediately. She rubbed her face to make herself more awake.
Zhao Qingsong was still snoring next to him, so Li Rong didn't intend to call him and climbed up gently.
He Xing and the others haven't made any move yet, but Zhao Qingliu and his wife, who are returning to work in Lijia Village, have already gotten up to make breakfast. They have to walk a long way there. In order not to be late for work, they always get up early.
Today was the first time Li Rong bumped into them, and they usually didn't see each other all day long.
Zhao Qingliu got up to make breakfast, but Li Rong hadn't woken up yet.
When Zhao Qingliu came back from work, it was completely dark. Li Rong sometimes ate early, washed up, and went back to the house to lie down.
Naturally, I can't touch it.
Li Rong called "eldest sister" as a greeting, and the two of them looked at each other, smiled, and went about their work.
Li Rong first let the dough rise, put it in the pot, and used the residual heat to promote the fermentation of the dough.
Then prepare to make red bean paste and mung bean cake.
The buns she plans to make have two kinds of fillings, large meat buns with pure meat filling, and red bean paste buns. She has eaten pastries from the "free market" before and they were not very delicious, so this time she plans to make mung bean cakes.
Red beans and mung beans are all unpeeled. Normally it would be better to peel them when making red bean paste and mung bean cakes, but there were no conditions here, and there were no peeled beans in the supply and marketing cooperative, so she had no intention of peeling them.
The beans that have been soaked overnight break into pieces when you twist them with your fingers.
Li Rong put the beans in the steamer and steamed them.
Zhao Qingsong walked in, looking a little aggrieved, and said, "Why didn't you ask me to get up? You said I got up and helped you."
Li Rong smiled and said: "There is not much work, I just want you to sleep a little longer."
The man leaves early and comes home late. Li Rong doesn't know what he is busy with, but seeing the tiredness on Zhao Qingsong's eyebrows every day, she knows that the man's job is not easy, so she can let him sleep more.
Get some sleep.
The man feels sorry for her, and she feels sorry for the man. The husband and wife must understand each other so that their lives can get better and better.
Zhao Qingsong took the initiative to walk over and show her the fire.
Li Rong gave him her seat, checked that the dough had just finished fermenting, sprinkled some cornstarch on the chopping board, and started kneading the dough.
After dividing out almost a hundred dough balls, we started making buns.
Wrap the meat buns and steam them first in the steamer.
Zhao Qingsong had been watching the fire while Li Rong took out the steamed beans.
Crush the red beans into a puree and add sugar, then stir to make the bean paste filling. Wrap the bean paste in a few seconds and steam it.
To make mung bean cake, she put the steamed mung bean puree into a pot, added some honey and sugar, and stir-fried. When the stir-fry was done, she turned off the heat and used a wooden mold to press out a square mung bean cake.
After pressing the last one, Li Rong handed it to Zhao Qingsong's mouth: "Open your mouth."
Zhao Qingsong took a bite and found that it tasted really good, with the fragrance of mung beans and the sweetness of honey. He nodded in admiration: "My wife made it really delicious."
During the Chinese New Year, Li Rong also made a lot of snacks, but she never made mung bean cakes. They were all rice cakes, a little dry, unlike this mung bean cake, which was glutinous and delicious.
Li Rong got him another piece. Zhao Qingsong didn't eat it, so he shook his head: "Keep it and sell it."
"Eat it," Li Rong stretched forward a little more, "I can still give you a bite."
Li Rong filled three large meat buns with oil paper and gave them to Zhao Qingliu when she went out to work and asked her to make them for lunch.
Working is tiring work, and Zhao Qingliu and Zhao Qingliu are honest and not lazy at work. They only bring whole grains and pickles with them in the morning. After working hard all day, there is no way they can endure it. There is a reason why people are so thin.
.
Zhao Qingliu hurried out without looking at what Li Rong gave him. If he couldn't refuse, he put it in the basket and carried it to work. When he opened it at noon, he realized that it was a steamed bun with pure meat filling.
The couple just ate meat buns because they were cold. Zhao Qingliu's eyes were full of soreness and he said: "The second daughter-in-law is a good one."
Li Dahai nodded and agreed with her statement.
They probably had too many meat buns for lunch. They worked very hard in the afternoon and usually had to work hungry.
Li Rong, here, use the leftover bone soup from last night to make steamed buns. You don’t even need to make breakfast, you just go out after eating.
Bicycles are really good things. Riding them brings you to the "free market".
Li Rong came to the "old place", parked her bicycle and set up a stall.
Next to him is the boss who sells snacks and nutritional products.
The boss hadn’t seen Li Rong for a long time. In addition, Li Rong didn’t have to go out to be exposed to the wind and sun, and she had grown fat during the winter. After looking at her twice, he recognized her and greeted her happily: “Big sister.
?You are here again."
"You still recognize me?" Li Rong smiled.
"Don't you recognize it? I still remember the taste of the braised food you made back then. Why did you stop doing it later? I don't have anywhere to buy it."
The boss paused and then said: "Later, someone learned to make it and sell it. I bought some, but it didn't taste enough. That person didn't sell it a few times and didn't make it anymore."
