After an overnight fermentation, the dough is already soft. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The dough fermented with alkaline noodles is obviously softer, and even men such as dad can see it. "It's really different."

Ke 13 stretched out his hand and pressed the dough, feeling that the dough was extremely soft. The surprised all exclaimed, "It's so soft." ”

Uncle Zhao, one of the father's bodies, also reached in and pressed it, and said in surprise, "It's as soft as my mother-in-law's breasts." ”

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Chao also tried it and was very satisfied with the effect of fermentation.

"Alright, let's make steamed cakes together."

Zhang Chao only mixed one liter of millet flour, so he couldn't make many steamed buns. A few people work together, and everyone is no stranger.

First, the dough is kneaded again, which is also considered individual work. Ke Xiaoba was very diligent in kneading the dough, and after the dough was kneaded, Zhang Chao divided the dough into twenty.

Take a dough and press it flat, wrap it in an appropriate amount of red gram jujube filling, close it and knead it lightly, and shape it into a round shape.

"Burn the fire and prepare to steam it."

"Can I use the new stove at home?" Daddy asked.

Zhang Chao checked the new stove, and it had been built for a day and a night, almost ready. At that moment, he said, "Then use the new stove, just try the new stove and steam this new steamed bun at the same time." ”

"I'll light the fire." Ke 13 hurriedly sat down at the stove to light the fire. The flint ignited, the wheat orange ignited, and the fire ignited smoothly.

"It's so burning." Ke 13 also often burns fires at home, knowing that it is difficult to burn at the beginning, especially in winter. But now the fire is burning very brightly in the hearth.

"Just add some thin twigs to burn faster." Zhang Chao pointed with a smile. The general stove is not well ventilated, so at the beginning of the fire, you have to use leaves and straws to start the fire, and you have to be careful to blow the wind. But this kind of new stove does not need to blow fire at all, nor does it need to be so careful, and it is not easy to extinguish when it burns.

The new stove has three pots, unlike the old stove, which only has one iron pot. On the stove of the new stove is a large iron pot, and there is a small iron pot at the back, and the small iron pot has also turned a corner to form a small figure-seven head, where there is a smaller pot rack on it, and there is also a small stove.

When the stove is on fire, the cauldron heats up, and the smaller back pot heats up as well. In this way, the large pot cooks, and the back pot can boil water. As for the small stove, you can heat a dish or something, or when cooking on the big stove, the small stove can also cook rice or steamed buns.

commanded Uncle Zhao to add water to the front and back pots, and commanded Ke Xiaoba and Ke Thirteen to add firewood to make a fire.

The front pot is still the original big iron pot, and the original time to boil half a pot of water to get two cups of tea, that is, about twenty minutes. But now, it only took a cup of tea for the water in the pot to boil.

Even the pot of water in the back pot was already warm.

Put the steamer on the boiling water pot, and Zhang Chao asked them to continue to burn the fire.

"It's time to burn two teas on a fire."

Everyone was roasting around the stove, and Ke Shisan was burning the fire. shouted again and again that this stove was good to burn, "You don't have to pay attention to it, just put firewood in it, and a large piece of chopping wood will not be extinguished at all." This stove is really easy to burn, and it saves a lot of trouble. ”

Uncle Zhao sat on the side and said with emotion, "It burns fast, and it also boils a pot of water, which saves nearly half the time than usual." ”

Another Uncle Wang said, "It's not all, you can see that the pot of water in the back pot doesn't need to be burned separately, it has already been boiled." Burning a stove of firewood and boiling two pots of water is amazing. ”

Zhang Chao smiled, and he walked to the front of the stove, where the kang was connected to the stove. The kang is connected to the stove, but it is separated from the stove by a distance from the stove, and when the kang is repaired, a wall more than three feet high is specially built between the kang stoves, so there is no need to worry too much about the oil smoke running to the kang.

Later, when a new cave is built and there is a special kitchen, there will be no oil smoke.

The reed kang mat has been laid on the new stove, and Zhang Chao pressed his hand on it, and he could already feel the warmth of the mat.

Zhang Chao took off his shoes directly and pressed the wood on the edge of the kang to get on the kang.

"Dad, come and sit on the kang, it's so warm."

Dad came over, touched his hand on the kang, and sure enough, he found a burst of warmth. He took off his shoes like Zhang Chao and sat on the kang seat.

"Sss

Daddy comfortably inhales. "It's warm, it's beautiful."

Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wang, Ke Xiaoba and Ke Thirteen, all came over to fight for the kang. Fortunately, this kang is also quite large, and it can sleep five or six people, and it is naturally no problem to sit for seven or eight people. The six people sitting on the kang still seem very wide, but there is no kang table on the kang now, which is a shortcoming.

"Go back and put a low kang table on top of it, just right."

"Yes, yes." Daddy also nodded repeatedly.

Sitting on the ondol is more comfortable than sitting on the stove to roast the fire.

"It's so warm to sleep at night, it's so beautiful." Ke 13 was amazed again and again, and he shivered with comfort. "When I go back, I want my father to ask San Lang to help my family make one."

Feeling the comfort of the warm kang, soon the steamed buns in the pot were also cooked.

A burst of tempting aroma came to his nose, and Dad wiped his nose and went down the kang, "I'll go see the steamer, it's cooked." ”

The steamer is lowered from the stove and opened.

A burst of white steam rose up.

Everyone couldn't wait to see the steamed cakes in the cage.

In the white steam, twenty yellow-faced buns were revealed.

"Wow, that's big."

Ke Xiaoba couldn't help but exclaim. The steamed cakes were made by everyone just now, and he saw them put into the steamer with his own eyes. Each steamed cake is as big as usual, and one liter of noodles and water is added to the red bean and jujube paste to make twenty steamed cakes, which are even smaller than ordinary cakes. But now the steamed cake is so big.

"I only used half of the original noodles, but I steamed them out to be the same size."

The yellow flour bun with alkaline noodles is steamed very large and very fluffy. The steamed bun opened its mouth, a few cracks opened, and the red red bean and date filling inside could be seen.

Zhang Chao took chopsticks and bowls and took a few out first.

"Let's try the texture."

Ke Shisan couldn't wait, before the bun was cold, he had already grabbed one in his hand, and his left and right hands kept pouring it up, and then he didn't wait for it to be cool, so he sent it to his mouth and took a big bite.

The bun was very hot, but Ke Thirteen couldn't care about it, his eyes were shining.

"It's delicious, it's so fluffy, it's not sour, it's a little sweet, it's delicious."

The others wanted to wait for the bun to be cooler, but they couldn't wait anymore. Even Daddy blew a few breaths into the bun and took a bite into his mouth.

It's still hot, but it's really delicious.

The taste is soft and sweet, and there is really no sour taste of ordinary steamed cakes. After eating steamed cakes all his life, he has long been accustomed to the sour taste, and only now did he realize that the steamed cakes can be so delicious without sourness.

Zhang Chao also ate one himself, and it was really delicious.

The ratio of hard millet and soft millet is seventy-three, coupled with the sour taste of alkaline noodles to neutralize the old noodles, and alkaline noodles make the steamed buns more fluffy, making this yellow flour steamed bun completely different from the Tang Dynasty millet steamed cake he ate yesterday.

"What are you eating, it's so fragrant?"

Everyone was eating happily, and Keshan's voice came from outside the door.

Ke Shan and Ke Wuyi came over early in the morning, just in time for Zhang Chao and them to eat steamed buns.

"Uncle, come here, San Lang refined a pill yesterday, and after adding this pill to the millet noodles and mixing the noodles, the steamed millet cake is delicious, loose and soft, not sour and sweet."

Ke Shan and Ke Wu grabbed one by one, and after eating, they were also amazed.

"Dad, you said let's steam more of this steamed bun, and then take it to the township and county to sell it, do you think someone will buy it?" Zhang Chao asked his father, he made such a delicious yellow bun, he was not satisfied with just eating it himself. He calculated that to build the new cave he had planned, the family's savings might not be enough.

We have to find a way to open it up again.

"Of course some people buy it, and the delicious ones are almost bitten off their tongues. This is with the addition of elixir, it is so delicious. Ke Wu sighed.

"Even if you take it to Chang'an and sell it, someone will eat it, it's so delicious." Ke Shan was also there licking his lips.

Twenty yellow-flour buns, eight men, were quickly eaten.

Buy, someone must buy.

But Zhang Chao is also thinking about how to sell more and make more profits. Qi Niang has a noodle restaurant in the township, and it must be okay to sell the yellow buns there directly, but he has also seen the situation in the township, and there are not many customers every day, even if everyone likes it, they can't sell a lot.

Going to Chang'an to sell it is also a way. It's just that he hasn't sold it yet, so he doesn't know if it's inconvenient.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Chao found a way, a way to maximize interests.

"Dad, what if we send our yellow-flour steamed buns to various post stations and restaurants to sell them?"

"Why do others want to help us sell steamed buns?" Dad is now used to Zhang Chao's steamed rice cakes called yellow flour buns.

Zhang Chao smiled, "Mutual benefit." As long as our yellow flour buns have a good reputation, they will help us sell yellow flour buns, and they can also increase their business. Besides, we don't let them sell it for nothing, we are cooperating, every time they help us sell a yellow flour bun, how much money do we give him, isn't this the best of both worlds? ”

Ke Shibai interjected puzzledly, "San Lang, our yellow-noodle steamed bun is so delicious, and you have an exclusive secret recipe, why should we let others help sell it and share their money, let's just sell it ourselves, and make our own money." ”

"Wrong." Zhang Chao shook his head.

Yellow flour buns are delicious, but they also have to be sold, or they are more profitable. What money can you make by selling a hundred a day. What if you can sell 10,000 a day?

And if you want to beat the brand out, you have to increase sales, and it is difficult for them to start from scratch by themselves. If it's a ride to one of those restaurants and restaurants, it's definitely much easier.

Another problem is that if you do it yourself, others may be jealous and make trouble, but if it is cooperation, they can also benefit, then not only will they not make trouble, but they will also contribute.

This is also the difference between Zhang Chao and Ke Shisan's perspective.

Ke 13 thinks about earning it all by himself, while Zhang Chao thinks about how to earn more.

"Then give it a try." Daddy thought about it for a while, and finally said.

"Well, then we'll make some more now, and then take them to the township, county, and Chang'an City, and sell our yellow noodles steamed buns to those restaurants and restaurants. As long as they are willing to help sell, we will give them the profit. ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Chao said again, "When selling, we call it yellow flour steamed buns, and when we sell and introduce to the store and customers, we call them yellow flour steamed buns, and we don't call them steamed cakes." ”

This is brand awareness, and the steamed cake has no uniqueness at all, but if it is called a yellow flour bun, it is the first one. Yellow flour steamed buns are actually steamed cakes, but not all steamed cakes are called yellow flour steamed buns.

Yellow-faced buns, only the only one in Zhangjiagou.
