Chapter 87 Eat Big Pieces At 4 o'clock the next morning, Qin Huai arrived at the canteen on time to go to work. It is very rare for Qin Huai to go to work on time, because he usually sets the alarm clock for 4 o'clock, then quickly gets dressed and goes to the cafeteria. He is usually late for work around 4:15. He is the boss anyway, and no one can deduct his perfect attendance award. Today, Qin Huai went to work on time. This means he has something important to do. That’s right, glutinous rice cakes can’t wait any longer. Yesterday afternoon, Qinhuai steamed the rice cakes for the last time between 3 and 4 o'clock, and then covered them with a wet cloth. As of 4 o'clock this morning, just over 12 hours. Based on Qinhuai’s experience in making glutinous rice cakes in the past few years, the best time to cover a wooden basin of glutinous rice cakes is about 12 hours. Over time, the rice cakes will become hard. It doesn't hurt to be slightly hard. After all, everyone's taste is different. Some people like to eat soft and waxy, while others like to eat slightly harder.
But Qu Jing likes to eat soft and glutinous food. If he couldn't get up, Qin Huai would have to squat in the cafeteria at 3:30. The first thing Qin Huai did when he walked into the kitchen was to uncover the wet cloth. The rice cakes are in great condition. The off-white rice cake seemed to have a uniform texture. Qin Huai took a spoonful and tasted it. It was soft and glutinous. It tasted a little sticky but still chewy and had a good taste. Without being dipped in sugar or filled with bean paste, you can taste the faint aroma of glutinous rice. Regarding this taste, Qin Huai thought it was just like rice cake, but Qin Luo insisted that it was the unique aroma of glutinous rice. It has a unique flavor when eaten alone. Of course, it would be more delicious if dipped in white sugar or mixed with sweet red bean paste filling to turn the glutinous rice cake into a sweet, soft and glutinous dessert. "Huaihuai, you've made rice cakes." Qin Congwen saw the rice cakes at a glance. In the Qin family, Qin Congwen’s favorite rice cake is actually Qin Congwen. It's a pity that Qin Congwen is no longer at the age where Qin Luo can cry and clamor for food when he is a teenager. As the head of the Qin family (at least Qin Congwen thinks so), Qin Congwen has to come up with something The dignity of a middle-aged man, such as euphemistically agreeing to take a bite when his daughter clamored for glutinous rice cakes. It would be better if you could pack two pieces and take them home, eat them secretly before going to bed and then be too full for breakfast the next morning. Qin Congwen's eyes lit up when he saw the rice cakes made by Qin Huai. In fact, when he came here in the morning, he had guessed that the thing covered under the wet cloth might be rice cakes, but he didn't dare to move. After all, Qin Huai has been tinkering with some new snacks recently. Qin Congwen never touches the ingredients prepared by Qin Huai for fear of being damaged. "Today's rice cake is not bad, but it's a little sticky. I deliberately made it softer and sticky. Dad, do you want to try it first?" "Okay, okay." Qin Congwen put down the bun and went to wash his hands. Qin Huai watched Qin Congwen take a sip. Two mouthfuls. Three mouthfuls.
Qin Congwen started to look for sugar. Qin Huai handed it to him silently and asked: "Dad, the red bean paste filling is actually ready. If you really want to eat it, I will finish the rice cake now." The last step of making glutinous rice cake is very easy, just wrap the red bean filling and roll it in soft white sugar. If you like something extra sweet, then wrap it with a layer of soft white sugar. If your sweetness requirements are not that high, sprinkle a light layer on it. If your sweetness requirements are higher, just cover it with red bean filling. Qin Congwen's way of eating it by directly dipping it in sugar is very wild. "Huaihuai, don't bother, I'll try some." Qin Congwen had already picked up the bowl. Qin Huai:… Forget it, Dad, just be happy. Zhao Rong had no interest in rice cakes. She rolled her eyes with disgust at Qin Congwen, who was eating the rice cakes with great enthusiasm and at the same time, and turned to ask Chen An, who was making noodles. "Xiao Chen, why don't you go and eat something too?" "No, no, no." The reserved Chen An didn't know what he had missed, "Sister Rong, I haven't finished mixing the noodles here yet." Qin Huai took the red bean paste filling out of the freezer and defrosted it, and began to make buns normally. The glutinous rice cake filled with red bean paste is a version that Qin Huai often makes. He plans to steam some dates later to make the jujube paste filling. There are many types of glutinous rice cake recipes online. This simple and common snack that meets popular tastes can be made in various ways. As long as diners like it, not to mention red bean paste filling, mung bean paste filling, jujube paste filling, even egg yolk and meat floss filling is fine. As for snacks, as long as they are delicious. But Luo Jun’s tangerine peel tea must be heretical. Because they come early, the three- and five-inch bao are also cooked early. It is very rare that the three- and five-inch bao are ready before the morning joggers enter the store. Qin Huai and others took the opportunity to have breakfast. Chen An took a bite of a three-cube bun and a bite of a five-cube bun. He cursed in his mind why he was so thin-skinned and didn't have the nerve to eat the expensive buns yesterday. He only ate the buns he made. At the same time, he made up his mind to eat two more to finish yesterday's portion. return. While eating, Chen An secretly looked at the faces of Zhao Rong and Qin Huai. Surprisingly, they seemed to have no objection to their food intake and continued to eat. "Xiao Chen, have a bowl of soy milk, please. Eat more breakfast, you will be busy later." Qin Congwen handed Chen An a bowl of soy milk. "Thank you, Brother Qin!" Chen An said vaguely with the bun in his mouth, swallowed the bun, and praised Qin Huai, "Master Xiao Qin, your craftsmanship is simply amazing. I have sold breakfast for so many years, and I have never seen this before. A breakfast chef as good as you!” Qin Huai accepted Chen An's compliment with a smile. Hehe, he also thinks his craftsmanship is very good. "Master Chen, my dad has a bad waist and cannot stand or sit for long periods of time. I will have to trouble you a lot in the future about chopping stuffing and preparing ingredients," Qin Huai said. "Master Xiao Qin, don't worry. I'm young. Leave all these tasks to me, including kneading the dough!" Chen An said that he has the strength. For breakfast every day, the meat filling of the steamed buns must be chopped beautifully! While I was eating, the old men coming for my morning jog came. The old men who have become regular customers can smell the difference today as soon as they enter the dining room. The buns this morning were cooked, so there’s no need to wait. "Master Xiao Qin, are the buns ready?" Uncle Wang took the lead and was the first to ask.
"Three diced buns, five diced buns, mushroom buns, vermicelli buns, leek buns, pork and cabbage buns are all ready. This morning, there is also glutinous rice cake stuffed with red bean paste, not much. The jujube paste will be a little later, and the dates are still there. It’s steaming in the pot.” When he heard that there was glutinous rice cake, Xu Tuqiang, who was walking slowly at the end, stepped forward and his voice rose. "Jiangmi rice cake!" "Xu Tuqiang, why are you so crazy? It hurts my ears to scream." Uncle Cao rubbed his ears dissatisfied. Xu Tuqiang said: What do you know? Do you know how valuable it is to eat glutinous rice cakes early in the morning? It’s been 18 days! It’s been 18 days! It has been 18 days since Master Zheng returned to Suzhou! Ever since Master Zheng returned to Suzhou, Xu Tuqiang has never seen snacks related to rice cakes in Yunzhong Canteen. Although lard rice cake is not his favorite, it can be regarded as a substitute. After all, Yunzhong Canteen has not sold glutinous rice cake for 23 days. Oh my god, Master Xiao Qin finally remembered that he knows how to make this dim sum! Seeing Xu Tuqiang's excitement, Qin Huai smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, do you particularly like glutinous rice cakes? You are in for a treat. I plan to research glutinous rice cakes during this period, and if nothing else happens, I will sell them every morning." Xu Tuqiang:! ! Xu Tuqiang was so excited that he wanted to donate a sum of money to the canteen and establish the Jiangmi Rice Cake Foundation. Finally, thousands of words turned into one sentence. "Have a piece!" Xu Tuqiang said with a trembling voice, "Cut it into large pieces and wrap it in sugar. I love sweet things!" The lottery group is on the profile page, at the bottom
