Chapter 64 Red Bean Paste

Chapter 64 Red Bean Paste

Wei Congxi didn't think about it, she had to rely on herself no matter what.

Nothing can be done without money...

Shi Luoying smiled: "I can make some pastries. If the shopkeeper hasn't found a pastry master yet, can you let me have a try?"

The third child was taken aback, and looked at Shi Luo in surprise: "You?"

Shi Luo is not a professional dim sum master, but she does know a lot of dim sum. Back then, she had studied it for a few days, and she had other ideas. She didn't want to implement it so soon, but thought of the conversation with Wei Congxi in the morning , she decided it was better sooner rather than later.

"Shopkeeper, you can let me try it first. If it succeeds, I will keep it. If it doesn't work, you will lose some food at most. It's a big deal. I'll compensate you according to the price!"

The third child knows about Shi Luo selling recipes to Juxianlou, maybe she really has something to do, and from the contact with her once or twice, he feels that she is different from the rumors, so he didn't treat her like the fourth child. Intuitive dislike.

Seeing that the plan is going well now, he immediately nodded down the slope: "Then try!"

Shi Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Cai listened to what they were talking about, and started to do business, she couldn't help but admire Shi Luo, she encouraged: "Shi Luo, work hard!"

Aunt Cai lost her husband in her early years, and the children in her family were young, so she was often bullied. No matter how hard it was, she survived by herself, and she knew that women were not easy.

Shi Luo has no relatives, and she has to take care of her disabled husband and support her family by herself. She is more difficult than herself, so she has a feeling of sympathy for each other. Seeing Shi Luo is like seeing herself who refused to admit defeat.

That's why Aunt Cai took extra care of Shi Luo. Now she heard her say that, unlike other women, she would feel that it was not good to show her face, but she admired her courage.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, which is actually very reasonable. Shi Luo also has a good impression of Aunt Cai. Now that she supports her, her confidence has doubled.

"Since there are so many red bean cakes in the store, there must be a lot of red beans left. I don't know how to make red bean cakes, so I just make red bean paste!" Shi Luo said.

"Red bean paste?" The third child narrowed his eyes.

Shi Luo felt that she was able to be so confident because she was standing on the shoulders of giants.

For example, the red bean cake that Wei Congxi likes to eat, Shi Luo thinks it's a waste of money, it's hard to explain it in words, good red beans, kneaded into the noodles, just steamed out, the taste is very bad, let it be, and sugar is expensive in this era, everyone accepts it Influenced by the idea that you should eat something sweet when you eat dim sum, the red bean cake made is sweet and greasy, which suppresses the original aroma of red beans. The most important thing is that sugar is inherently expensive, so the red bean cake made in this way is even more expensive There are no sides, so poor people generally don't eat dim sum, only richer people can eat it, and richer people don't buy some sweet red bean cakes all day long.

The third child knows that Shi Luo is challenging them. Don't you focus on red bean cakes? I'll make a red bean cake to compare with you, and you'll know right away.

He was suddenly full of strong interest in this little wife of his master.

Leading Shi Luo into the kitchen, the third child was about to leave. Shi Luo knew the importance of the secret recipe in this era, so he didn't stop him. When she was alone in the kitchen, she started making red bean paste.

First make the water-oil skin, knead it into a smooth dough by hand, cover it with a lid and let it rise for a quarter of an hour, then use flour and lard to make pastry, knead it into a smooth dough by hand, cover it with a fresh-keeping cover and let it rise for a quarter of an hour.

After the dough is made, Shi Luo divides the dough into 20 parts, takes a small dose of water and oil skin, rolls it out, wraps a portion of pastry, wraps it well, takes another small dose of pastry wrapped, and uses a rolling pin Roll into ox tongue shape.Roll up from top to bottom, press down with the palm of your hand, roll it into a circle with a rolling pin, wrap it with red bean paste, press it into a round cake with your hands, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and put it in the oven.

In this era, there is no oven, but a simple oven. Shi Luo, who is worried that the heat is not good, has been watching the fire.

The first plate was baked very successfully, Shi Luo ate it, it was the taste in memory, it seemed to be a little sweeter, probably because the ancient red beans were better.

After the first dish was successful, Shi Luo gained confidence and baked the rest.

Before Shi Luo came out, the third child smelled a sweet smell, and when she came out, the attractively colored, crispy red bean paste came out, and the third child couldn't wait.

Shi Luo took five plates and gave them to the third child. Besides the one she ate, there were fourteen left. She unceremoniously found the wrapping paper in the store, and packed two sets of five each. I tied a beautiful knot and put it aside, and the remaining four were directly wrapped in oiled paper.

The third child took a bite, and the first impression was that it was delicious, crispy and sweet, and melted in the mouth. The aroma of red beans was all over the mouth, especially the red bean paste just out of the pan, with heat, and the crispy aroma of vegetable oil, it was even more delicious .

After the third child couldn't wait to eat one, he didn't forget his business.

"Girl, where did you learn this?"

Shi Luo said: "What I read in an ancient book, there are many more..."

She didn't say a word.

Shi Luo was only 15 years old, and she was pretty. The third child didn't find her cunning look disgusting, but rather cute.

"Shopkeeper Yao, can I buy the rest at the price?" she asked.

The third child nodded: "No need to buy it, I'll give it to you!"

Shi Luo shook his head: "I don't get rewarded for nothing, I can't!"

She took out the same price as the red bean cake and paid, then looked at the third child.

The third child smiled and said, "You passed!"

Shi Luo was full of joy, but she didn't plan to come here to be a dim sum master, and of course she couldn't express her thoughts in front of Aunt Cai, so she said, "I need to go back and talk to my husband before deciding on our cooperation." !"

The youngest was startled, thinking, Master is so important to you?
But he nodded: "Wait for the good news!"

Shi Luo's goal was achieved, and she estimated that the roof of the house was almost repaired, so she went out with Aunt Cai and handed the two wrapped snacks to Aunt Cai: "Auntie, Brother Liu and Brother Liu are going on a blind date tomorrow. This one is the best, you can eat the rest with brother Liu and second brother Liu, it is my heart!"

Aunt Cai quickly waved her hand: "How can this be done..."

She watched Shi Luo take out the money. One red bean paste cost ten Wen, half a chicken. The two packs cost 100 Wen. How could she want it?

"Auntie, take it as my wages for Big Brother Liu and Second Brother Liu. If you don't want me, I won't bother you in the future, and..."

She blinked deliberately: "With this, the girl will be greedy, maybe she will marry Liu Erge and Liu Erge!

Although Aunt Cai didn't want to take it, she really didn't have anything to sell at home.He could only nod his head, and murmured, "Shi Luo, you did it obviously, but the one from the shopkeeper is still so expensive..."

Shi Luo knew that she had committed an old problem, so he couldn't help laughing: "Ma'am, this is the rule, if I give money, it won't show the quality of my things!"

Aunt Cai didn't understand, but she felt that Shi Luo had an idea, so she didn't want to say more.
