Chapter 21 Crab Shell Yellow (please vote for me!)
On the morning of the second day, Qin Huai, who originally planned to sleep for an extra hour and go to the store to make buns at 5 o'clock, forgot to set the alarm clock and was woken up at 4 o'clock on time, so he had to go to work early.
When Qin Huai arrived at the cafeteria, Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong were already making meat buns.
Qin Luo was still sleeping. Yesterday was the first day of business. Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong thought it was such an important day that they had to prepare as a family in advance before waking Qin Luo up. Today has become an ordinary day.
When Luoyou is still growing, he might be able to move a few centimeters if he works hard, and then he returns to his happy life of sleeping until he wakes up naturally.
Qin Huai took a look at the materials prepared by Qin Congwen and found that there were a lot more than yesterday.
Apparently Qin Congwen discovered that sales were very good yesterday and the buns were sold out by noon, so he planned to pack more.
There are many migrant workers around here who are willing to eat cheap steamed buns to save money at noon and night. After the steamed buns are sold out, some customers take the initiative to ask why the cheap big meat buns are gone.
Although the 1.5 yuan buns are not very profitable, Qin Congwen has made hard-earned money selling breakfast all his life. 1 and 2 cents are always not too little. Mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. If you can sell them, make more buns. If you can make a little profit,
a little.
When business is good, your mood is good. Qin Congwen got up early to make buns and was full of energy, and even hummed a ditty happily.
Qin Huai, who was kneading the dough, couldn't help but laugh and said: "Dad, you might as well close your breakfast shop and rent it to others, and just stay here and sell steamed buns. The sales volume is no worse than at home."
"That's not possible." Qin Congwen said without hesitation, "Luo Luo's academic status is still in her hometown. She has to start high school in September. Your mother and I have to go back, otherwise your aunt will take care of her and she will go crazy."
"Yes, Luoluo is a little better in English, but she is not good at Chinese, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or Biology. The results of the high school entrance examination are not out yet. Once they are out, I don't know if I can go to a high school in the city. I heard that if the score difference is big, there will be no school selection fee."
It's cheap. The two high schools in our county are not as good as each other." When it comes to Qin Luo's further education, Zhao Rong has endless worries, "I don't know if this child can keep up in high school. He has five homework to make up.
, I don’t know if I can make up for it seven days a week.”
If he has to make up five homework assignments a week... Qin Huai can only light a candle in advance for Qin Luo's miserable high school life.
After kneading the dough, Qin Huai divided the fresh shrimps peeled by Qin Congwen into two parts.
Qin Congwen noticed Qin Huai's movements and asked: "Huai Huai, is Dad more prepared? I will peel less tomorrow."
"No." Qin Huai shook his head and pointed to the smaller portion, "This one is for making crab shell roe."
Crab shell yellow, a famous Shanghai-style snack.
This name comes from the fact that it is a yellow round baked snack that looks like a crab shell. There is a poem praising it as "I smell the aroma before I see the bakery, and the puff pastry pours out of my mouth", which shows its crispy texture.
, the taste is divided into two categories: sweet and salty.
The sweet Qin Huai can make it, mixing sugar with lard. The salty Qin Huai can also make it, just add diced pork. Only the Qin Huai with shrimp stuffing that Ouyang wants to eat can't.
Qin Luo doesn't like shrimp, and the Qin family usually doesn't stuff their wontons with shrimp fillings.
The earliest method of making crab shell yellow was to stick the dough directly on the oven wall and bake it. Now the method is not that complicated. You can bake it directly in the oven. It is batch-wise and fast. Thanks to technology, it saves time and worry.
Ouyang has wanted to eat crab shell yellow for a while. Qin Huai heard from Qin Luo that yesterday he also specified that he wanted to eat shrimp stuffing. Qin Huai felt that it was time to fulfill his adopted son's wish.
After all, when Qin Huai first came to inherit the inheritance, it was Ouyang who offered to let him live in his home. Ouyang helped him a lot, and Qin Huai had to make shrimp stuffing even if he hadn't done it before.
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t made it before, there are recipes online.
Qin Huai was simmering the fillings of Wuding Bao over low heat while watching recipe tutorials on his mobile phone.
After reading it, it doesn’t work.
The person who teaches you how to make crab shell roe is not good at it.
It looks very good, brushed with egg yolk liquid and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. It looks absolutely first-class. But there is obviously something wrong with the filling process. The shrimps are cut into cubes and mixed with pork, sesame oil, light soy sauce, and
It's pepper, sugar, and even some oyster sauce. I want to add all the seasonings in the kitchen.
Originally, this shrimp stuffed snack only had the unique umami flavor of the shrimp. The taste is very bland, and if you add too much pork, it will easily overwhelm you. If you add too little, it will have no flavor. If you add seasonings, the final filling will be full of flavor.
It tastes like seasoning, and the shrimp is in vain.
Qin Huai shook his head and closed the door, looking at the next one.
It doesn't seem to work.
Also, how could a truly awesome secret recipe appear on the Internet? This is a secret recipe.
Forget it, just do it based on feeling.
Qin Huai believes that Ouyang will not mind.
And he always feels good.
Qin Huai started the third-line operation, supervising the stuffing of the buns in the pot, controlling the dough that was fermenting silently, and making the crab shell yellow stuffing at the same time.
At 6:07, the first batch of shrimp-filled crab shells came out of the oven.
Almost immediately, Ouyang stepped into the store at 6:08, 100% ahead of all paid employees.
Huang Xi didn't come at this point.
Qin Huai does not encourage his employees to go to work early. After all, there are not many customers if they come early. Qin Huai and the others can perfectly cope with the few or two customers who come in early for a morning run and get up early.
The rents near Yunzhong Community are not cheap, and the waiters in the store generally live far away, so they have to get up early to work the morning shift. Qin Huai knows the pain of not being able to sleep in, and he doesn’t have much concern about clocking in on time for work.
Obsession.
"Crab shell yellow!" Ouyang saw the golden crab shell yellow at a glance.
A whole plate of crab shell roe is neatly placed together, which is really eye-catching, not to mention that this large plate of crab shell roe is freshly baked. Crab shell roe is originally a shortbread, and the freshly baked shortbread is so delicious.
It is fragrant, as anyone who has ever been to a dim sum shop knows.
Ouyang took a deep breath intoxicatedly.
"Smells! It smells so good! It's worth getting up early, Qin Huai, I can eat ten of them!"
Qin Huai didn't believe Ouyang's lies at all. The five- and three-cube buns in the small steamer nearby would be ready in two or three minutes.
"How about two of them to taste first?" Qin Huai picked up the shelf.
Ouyang nodded crazily.
Qin Huai put two crab shell yellows into a small plate and directed Ouyang to go to the warehouse to find the crab shell yellow tag and hang it in the window. He told him that this thing is really hot when it comes out of the oven. It is hotter than steamed buns. No.
Don't eat Qin Luotiezui's skills directly.
Ouyang went to find the sign and struggled for a while. After washing his hands, he came back and had a good meal.
Ouyang tentatively picked up one with his hands, and pinched it a little too hard, causing the pastry to fall straight down.
One bite.
Crisp, fragrant, salty and fresh.
The puff pastry and sesame seeds covered the corners of both sides of his mouth. It fell onto the table and covered half of his body. The salty aroma of the pork and the taste of the shrimp were all very distinct. After Ouyang took a bite, he felt that the shrimp must be particularly good.
.
It tastes like shrimp!
He ate a lot of shrimp-filled dim sum, including shrimp wontons with a whole shrimp in them, but he couldn't really taste the shrimp at all.
But the crab shell on my hand has yellow.
Still fragrant and crispy.
Without any hesitation, Ouyang took the second bite and wrapped up the remaining crab shell yolk in one gulp. Then he picked up the second one, opened his mouth, and wrapped it up in one gulp with the same movement.
One bite, great!
This time I can really eat 10!
Ouyang chewed happily, lamenting in his heart that his parents were really disappointing.
Why couldn't his parents have happened to travel to Qiu County 20 years ago, happened to pass by the orphanage, and happened to meet Qin Huai and be adopted by Qin Huai?
In this way, wouldn't Qin Huai be his younger brother?
Now that Qin Luo has a good life of eating snacks every day, doesn't Ouyang enjoy it?
Ouyang looked at Qin Huai, his eyes full of regret.
Qin Huai:......
