Chapter 189 Mooncake (3)
Facing everyone's "eager" eyes, Yu Jijiu twitched the corner of his mouth, but still resignedly opened the lid of the box.
As soon as it was opened, there was a burst of exclamations in the hall.
On the first floor of a square-sized box, there are four Cantonese-style mooncakes printed with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum patterns on the four corners. The four mooncakes in the four corners were something no one had ever seen before, but the ones in the Yu family that were so well-informed couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise were the four mooncakes in the center that looked as bright as white. Snow, you can faintly see the snow-skin mooncakes inside.
The shapes of peanuts, persimmons, wishful thinking, and gourds are extremely beautiful and cute, and the corresponding blessing words such as "Wonderful strokes bring flowers" and "Good things (persimmon) happen" are printed on them respectively. They are so beautiful that everyone has already opened the second layer. They couldn't help but want to reach out.
Yu Jijiu quickly opened the second layer before everyone reached out. Placed at the four corners of the second layer were four freshly baked Soviet-style mooncakes. Although compared to Cantonese-style mooncakes and snow-skin mooncakes, the Soviet-style mooncakes looked It's a common Duo Le, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the aroma of the roasted puff pastry with residual warmth, accompanied by the vague smell of sauce-flavored gravy, blew into everyone's mouth. In the nose, it immediately aroused the deepest greed in people's hearts.
Although mooncakes filled with pork meat have been seen and tasted before, the pork meat filling made by Master Wen, the public chef of Dali Temple... Thinking of the chestnut roast pork they had just eaten a few days ago, everyone swallowed subconsciously: this appearance The pork-filled mooncake, which is less innovative than the other two, is definitely delicious!
In addition to the Soviet-style mooncakes in the four corners on the second floor, there are five Cantonese-style mooncakes spread out like petals in the middle. Different from the elegance of the "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" on the first floor, these five are printed with some legendary little figures. story.
"It's quite interesting!" Madam Yu briefly commented on the appearance of the mooncake gift box and then hurriedly stretched out her hand.
Although she really liked the beautiful white snow-skin mooncakes, seeing the children staring at the snow-skin mooncakes without blinking, Mrs. Yu thought that she might not be able to hold so many mooncakes in her stomach, so she reached out to grab them. I ordered a two-layer Soviet-style mooncake.
Based on her years of experience in "eating more and more", most of the fillings in the other two kinds of mooncakes are meatless. As a foodie who has "not been happy without meat" for many years, she naturally likes to eat meat.
Furthermore, when the puff pastry baked mooncakes are cold, they need to be reheated before eating. Unless the cook is skilled at cooking, he or she will not be able to reheat them to create that fresh-from-the-oven aroma.
So she took a puff pastry mooncake, and while the residual heat in her hand was still there, Mrs. Yu opened her mouth and bit into the puff pastry moon cake.
With a "click" sound, everyone who was close could clearly hear the crispy sound of the puff pastry mooncake being bitten open. The puff pastry can make such a crispy sound. Once you hear it, you can tell that Master Wen took a lot of effort to make this puff pastry. It took a lot of effort, whether it is the stacked puff pastry or the baking temperature, it has been specially studied.
The layers of puff pastry are chewed open with the aroma of roasted puff pastry, revealing the filling inside. Mrs. Yu just casually held the Soviet-style mooncake in her hand through the handkerchief without exerting much force, but the meat filling inside could be seen faintly squeezed out of the meat juice due to the slight squeezing action.
The meat stuffing that can burst with juice without deliberately squeezing it can be seen at a glance that it must be firm and not thick, and suitable for fat and thin. Looking at the mooncake bursting with juice in Mrs. Yu's hand, everyone swallowed subconsciously.
Mrs. Yu half-closed her eyes and looked down at the Soviet-style mooncake in her hand. As if she hadn't seen the juniors swallow their saliva, she picked up the Soviet-style mooncake in her hand and took a bite of the meat filling.
Then, in front of everyone's gaze, Mrs. Yu, who had half-bited the meat filling, said "Eh".
This sound startled everyone, and Yu Jijiu on the side quickly asked: "What's wrong with mother? Are the bones in the meat stuffing not shaved off?"
The motion of clenching his teeth halfway, as if he had hit his teeth, made Yu Jijiu very nervous.
While she was talking, Mrs. Yu continued her mid-bite action. After taking this bite, she looked at the meat filling she had bitten, said "Oh" and pointed out the filling of the Soviet-style mooncake. As everyone watched, they did not forget to scold the nervous Yu Jijiu: "Don't talk nonsense! When has Master Wen's cooking ever had such a mistake?"
Mrs. Yu tasted the meat stuffing with egg yolk in her mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "I thought it was just ordinary pork meat, but I didn't expect that there was egg yolk in it. The taste of these two things together is really wonderful. ,good!"
The outer layer of pork meat is firm, tender and elastic, with a unique sweetness in the saltiness. The egg yolk inside is filled with duck egg yolk, and the taste is rosy and has a unique egg flavor. fragrant.
Mrs. Yu could not help but nod her head after eating: "This egg yolk pork meat is a good filling. I'll ask the cook at home to learn from it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone interrupted: "The yolk of duck eggs has a fishy smell. If I don't learn how to deal with it from Master Wen, I'm afraid it will taste very fishy!"
Yu Jijiu looked at his brother, who only knew how to eat and had no family and no talent. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said, "You do know how to eat!"
Mr. Yu Er laughed "hehe" twice. How could he not hear his brother's strange tone of praise mixed with sarcasm, and sarcasm mixed with praise?
While reaching out to grab a Cantonese-style mooncake engraved with "Chang'e Flying to the Moon", she waited for Yu Jijiu's next "reprimand".
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard my brother talking again: "How old are you, and you haven't started a family yet? When I was your age, men and women could memorize the Three Character Classic. That widow in the east of the city is really good. She looks good too, and is more than suitable for you. Do you want me to..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Yu raised the "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" in his hand and rejected it righteously: "How is that widow compared to the Fairy of the Moon Palace in the sky? If she didn't have the beauty of the Fairy of the Moon Palace... "
Before he finished speaking, he received a "bursting chestnut" from his brother on the head. Yu Jijiu pointed at the second master Yu and cursed: "Look at your own moral character. You even imitated Marshal Tianpeng in dreaming about the moon palace." Fairy? You don’t even look in the mirror..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Yu bit off most of the "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" in one bite, and then said seriously: "I also know that I am ugly, but I want to be beautiful! Which law does our Da Rong have? The law stipulates that an ugly person like me can’t think beautiful? I’d rather lack than live in excess, and I don’t want to lose my relationship with a rich man at home, so why don’t I be allowed to be a wealthy and idle person?”
Several young ladies from the Yu family on the side couldn't help but snickered when they heard this: It's true that all things are born, and one thing conquers another! Except for the second uncle, there is no one else who can silence the always eloquent Yu Jijiu!
On the other side, Master Yu held the half-bitten "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" in his hand. While adjusting his clothes and preparing to run away, he said: "Brother, don't worry, I will dress up well tomorrow and go to Yushu Linfeng." Let’s go to the lantern festival and see if there is a human Chang’e who is attracted to me!”
With that said, before Yu Jijiu spoke again, Mr. Yu ran away in time, but he didn't forget to grab another moon cake before running away.
Looking at Mr. Yu who was running faster than anyone else with oil on his soles, Yu Jijiu helplessly held his forehead, but did not forget to speak to Mr. Yu's back and said, "I'm really dreaming of your spring and autumn dream!" Yushu Linfeng? Even if you call all the make-up ladies in the capital to dress you up, even if your hands are broken, you will not have anything to do with these four words!"
