Aunt Agui's flower cake is not as delicate in making as Western bread and dessert.
The recipe is all in my head, how much lard, sugar, and paste powder should be put in, all based on years of production experience. Even the outer shell of the filling and the cutting weight are not weighed to see if they are the same.
It looks almost the same.
This is also the reason why Zhang Wentao is too lazy to make bread and desserts, which is very troublesome.
After watching her give a demonstration, Zhang Wentao took over the task of wrapping flower cakes.
Xu Hongdou is responsible for making the stuffing, and Aunt Agui is responsible for rolling out the dough.
The three of them cooperated very well, and soon the flower cakes they had kneaded one by one were neatly placed on the baking tray.
"Let me pinch one."
Zhang Wentao was smearing the egg liquid on the flower cake, confirming the temperature of the oven, and preparing to bake the first plate. Xu Hongdou took a piece of dough from Aunt Agui. She observed it for a long time and felt that it was not too difficult.
What Zhang Wentao can do, she can do too.
But once I got started, I realized that things seemed to be different from what I imagined. There was a little too much stuffing, and the dough felt a little unable to cover it.
Looking at the bit of stuffing exposed at the bottom, she asked Aunt Agui if it was okay.
Aunt Agui took one look at it and said with a smile: "It's okay. I'm the first one. You can get started quickly, Hongdou."
Xu Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. I'll eat this later."
"Then you do it first, and I'll go outside to help Damai and Aunt Aquarius, okay." Aunt Agui glanced meaningfully at Zhang Wentao and Xu Hongdou.
It is true that the two young men did not communicate at all during the whole process. They only allowed themselves, an old lady, to speak, and they showed no respect for the elderly at all.
"Ah, Aunt Agui, I don't know how to do it yet."
Xu Hongdou said, turning around and frowning at Zhang Wentao who was walking back, hoping that he would refuse the proposal.
"If you don't know how, just let the young man teach you. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll go take a look over there." Aunt Agui said as she walked.
When Aunt Agui walked out the door, Xu Hongdou stared at Zhang Wentao who started to make it.
It is no exaggeration to say that the other party's hands-on ability is indeed much better than hers. In the time it took Zhang Wentao to do three, she could only do one.
Moreover, the other party's hands seemed to be equipped with instruments, and the fillings placed in the dough were not too much or too little, just enough for the dough to wrap the fillings evenly and look beautiful.
"Did you do this when you were in France?"
Logically speaking, Xu Hongdou is used to letting others talk to her first, but she knows that if she doesn't speak, the other person will remain silent in front of her.
Now they were the only two people left in the kitchen. Although she was still a little dissatisfied with what he said in the morning, she thought that she could also make some to send a message to her parents, sister, and Zhang Nanxing's parents, so she decided to temporarily
Put down your airs and take the initiative to lighten the mood.
"No, but I've done something similar. Once you're familiar with it, you can do it quickly, so it's not difficult."
"That's you"
"Here, let me teach you." Zhang Wentao considered that Xu Hongdou was a beginner after all and needed some guidance, so he put a piece of dough in Xu Hongdou's hands, picked up one himself, and then put the appropriate fillings on the two pieces of dough.
, said: "You hold it with your thumb and index finger, and then press the dough towards the middle. While pressing, it is best to turn it..."
"See, it's like this, yes, yes, that's all."
Xu Hongdou followed Zhang Wentao's explanation and nodded clearly. Soon a kneaded flower cake appeared in the palm of her hand. It was much prettier than the one she had just made.
Looking at the results on his hands, Xu Hongdou was slightly surprised and said: "So the technique is like this, thank you."
"Um."
Zhang Wentao saw that it was well done, responded, and continued to make the flower cake in his hand with his head down.
"Hey, please slow down and let me do more."
After successfully making Xu Hongdou, her self-confidence was aroused, and she said to Zhang Wentao who kept working.
"Finish early and eat early. Eat early and go back to rest early."
Seeing that his words were useless, the pot of stuffing was going down at this rate, and he couldn't make a few. Xu Hongdou, who was a little anxious, turned crimson, and his tone became anxious:
"You...please, we are not working now, we are on vacation. Can't you please stop being like clockwork and relax and enjoy yourself?"
"That's right."
These words seemed to wake up Zhang Wentao. He looked at Xu Hongdou with beautiful red phoenix eyes and a shy and angry expression, and was stunned for a moment.
"Then you come and experience it. I'm going to take a rest and see how to make the breast fan."
After saying that, he smiled and put the unwrapped flower cake into the other person's hand, patted his palms and walked out the door.
"you!!!"
"This guy! He's really going to piss me off!!!"
This time, Xu Hongdou was really annoyed...
After all, I am a beautiful woman who is being pursued. Even if I am a person with no emotional intelligence, I should not abandon myself here alone.
Angry, she had no choice but to vent her frustration on the flower cake that the other party put in her hand.
Fortunately, after a while, Zhang Wentao was brought back by Aunt Agui, who continued to lecture him, blaming him for leaving Xu Hongdou alone in the kitchen making flower cakes without staring at the oven.
What should I do if it gets burnt?
This scene made Xu Hongdou couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering. It seemed that someone could deal with this guy.
Seeing Zhang Wentao deflated, she felt extremely happy.
…
As time passed quietly, batch after batch of flower cakes were baked, and the milk fans outside were all wrapped around special bamboo poles to dry.
Unlike flower cakes that are baked and ready to eat, milk fan still needs time to give it a deeper flavor.
After a tiring day, Damai and Zhang Wentao were sitting on a bamboo stool in Aunt Baoping's courtyard, sipping tea. Xu Hongdou was still very energetic, looking at his camera and checking today's harvest.
"Here you go, try it quickly and be careful not to burn it." Aunt Baoping brought a plate of freshly baked flower cakes and came to express her condolences to the young people who had worked hard all day.
"Thank you." Xu Hongdou, who had gained a lot throughout the day, smiled reservedly, put down the camera, picked up a piece, took a big bite regardless of the image, and couldn't help but admire:
"It's delicious, hehe."
Zhang Wentao and Da Mai, who were starving, also hurriedly tasted the fruits of their hard work.
"Aquarius, your oven is not good. It looks cheap at first glance, and the power is too small. Look at it, it doesn't even bake any cake."
"Next time, come to my house to make it. Use Xiaoxi to buy it for me..."
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Baoping, who was very familiar with Aunt Agui, said, "Okay, tell me what Xiaoxi bought you that is not good."
"Originally..."
Zhang Wentao ate the flower cake in his hand and secretly laughed in his heart. Aunt Baoping had the ability to hold Aunt Agui back with just one sentence. It was not like him. Just because he went to see the breast fan, he kept talking to her for a long time.
, because the other party’s age probably means he doesn’t dare to reply.
Smiling, he suddenly looked at Xu Hongdou.
like
It seems that I also have a pretty gray hoodie. Xu Hongdou covered his mouth and snickered, he suddenly thought.
When Xu Hongdou covered her mouth and tried not to laugh out loud, she noticed the eyes on her opposite side.
"Huh." Xu Hongdou felt this gaze, wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction, and thought to himself:
"Even though we are both laughing, I am not on the same page as you."
