Food starts with noodles

The mung beans have been soaked for two hours, and they are already a little swollen.

Xu Zhuo fished out the mung beans, rinsed them and put them into the pot.

Then add twice as much water and boil over high heat.

"Handsome boss, I see that many people make mung bean paste by smashing it with a cooking machine. Why did you cook it directly?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "The smashed kind is not mung bean paste, it should be called mung bean paste. The real mung bean paste is boiled and has nothing to do with the cooking machine."

Yu Keke was very curious, how did he know so much about this Cantonese dessert?

"I used to go to Yangcheng to eat, and I learned from the locals. It's a pity that many dessert shops don't cook like this anymore. They just break the cooking machine and finish the job."

"Some stores even have mung bean powder blended directly, which does not have the taste and quality of mung bean paste at all. It tastes greasy, as if it has been broken."

Yu Keke's eyes widened: "Then how is it authentic mung bean paste?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "Authentic mung bean paste is very simple. It is boiled, and the mung beans must be boiled with their shells on. After the mung beans have been boiled, remove the shells."

"The remaining part is simmered slowly over low heat until it becomes sticky and sandy, and the taste is also very good."

"In addition, if you want mung bean paste to be delicious, you can't do without one ingredient..."

Chapter 112 Rock Chip Candy

"Ingredients? What ingredients?"

"I ate kelp and mung bean paste in Yangcheng, I also ate mung bean paste with tangerine peel, and the stinky grass mung bean paste that the locals love. Are these three ingredients you mentioned?"

Xu Zhuo shook his head: "No, the ingredient I'm talking about is rock sugar, which is almost the soul of mung bean paste."

Rocky candy is a kind of candy that is loved by the masses in Guangdong.

It is different from ordinary white granulated sugar and brown granulated sugar, and also different from powdered sugar, tablet sugar, brick sugar, bowl sugar and basket sugar in brown sugar.

But it maintains the unique sugar cane sweetness of brown sugar, and is similar to the purity and sweetness of rock sugar.

The application of borneol candy is very extensive, and many Cantonese-style or Hong Kong-style desserts have borneol sugar.

And mung bean paste is one of them.

Xu Zhuo hadn't planned to make mung bean paste today, but when he went to the utility room to look for mung beans, he found a box of sorbet.

I don't know when Chen Guifang delivered it. It is estimated that this thing could not be sold in the provincial capital, so she threw it here.

Since mung beans and rock candy are available, Xu Zhuo can't wait to try them.

D-level signboard, I just made this mung bean paste.

If it doesn't taste good, Xu Zhuo really won't forgive himself.

Yu Keke was more confident than him. Right now, the mung beans started to circle around the pot as soon as they were put into the pot.

"It must be delicious, I want to eat three big bowls later!"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "That can't be done, this stuff is cold in nature, eating too much is bad for the stomach, you better save it."

"Besides, there are only a few bowls of these in the pot. What do we eat if you eat them all?"

Yep, Boss Xu's straight male attribute is online again.

But Yu Keke was not only not angry, but also muttered in his heart.

If you care about me, you care about me, and you have to say ugly things. Is this the way the handsome boss expresses his love?

It must be, otherwise why would he be so nervous?

After the water in the pot boiled, Xu Zhuo turned the heat to the maximum and kept stirring the pot with a spoon.

The reason why the traditional method is abandoned by many businesses is that it takes too much time and effort.

In the early stage of cooking, it is necessary to keep stirring like this.

The main reason for doing this is to facilitate the separation of the shells of mung beans.

These shells have to be fished out, otherwise it will affect the taste of mung bean paste.

Xu Zhuo moved with both hands, stirring the spoon with one hand, holding the strainer with the other, and kept taking out the mung bean skins floating in the pot.

Simmer continuously for ten minutes on high heat, and basically all the shells of mung beans have been separated.

It's time to turn down the heat and simmer slowly.

Mung beans that have been shelled are slowly boiled and turned into powder.

This step is the sanding of mung beans.

Pick out all the remaining mung bean shells, cover the pot, and simmer for an hour.

When the water in the pot is almost boiled, the mung bean paste is ready.

The viscous mung bean paste is very uniform, and after a long time of cooking, the mung bean paste becomes very delicate.

Yu Keke huddled beside the pot, watching this miraculous scene, couldn't help but smack her lips.

"Oh, put it in the mold and freeze it later, is it mung bean sorbet?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Yes, but sugar has to be added, it won't taste good without sugar."

The ratio of sugar to mung beans is 1:4. Xu Zhuo brought sorbet sugar, weighed it a little, and then threw it into the pot.

Stir a few times, cover the pot, and let it simmer for three to five minutes.

Then turn off the fire.

Lifting the lid of the pot, a sweet aroma came to the nostrils immediately.

This taste makes people feel like being in a dessert shop in Yangcheng for a moment.

The sugar in the pot had already melted, in order to avoid uneven distribution of sugar, Xu Zhuo stirred it a few more times, and then took it out of the pot.

There were six bowls in total, and before Xu Zhuo had time to put it in the refrigerator to chill, Yu Keke snatched a bowl and ran out with a spoon.

"Panpan, look at the mung bean paste made by the handsome boss, it tastes really good..."

Xu Zhuo shook his head helplessly, this girl is always like a child.

He put those bowls of mung bean paste in the freezer, this thing must be chilled to taste.

When he got outside, Xu Zhuo found out that the trio who skipped classes were all around the steaming mung bean paste that night.

Seeing Xu Zhuo come out, Li Hao was pleasantly surprised: "It's so delicious! I didn't expect you to have such skills."

Sun Panpan also nodded again and again: "It's sandy and dense, and the taste is super good. It's much more delicious than the mung bean paste made by those cooking machines."

Yu Keke took selfies from various angles.

Then I sent it to Moments in a thief-like manner.

"Hey, the male god cooked delicious food for me again. I feel like I'm going to be fed into a piglet by him. It's so annoying... Is this love?"

This girl has more and more potential to be a dramatist.

Xu Zhuo walked over, took a clean spoon from the side, put it into his mouth, and immediately a sweet and delicious taste filled his mouth.

And the mung beans with fine sand are even more delicious.

It's still hot to eat. When it's chilled, the taste will be even better.

Come to a bowl in summer, it will definitely relieve the fire and appetize.

Now, Boss Xu has a new understanding of the mung bean paste in the lottery.

I regretted it before, but now I taste it, the taste is really amazing.

Really worthy of the name of the D-level signature dish.

Once this thing goes on the market, it will definitely trigger a new explosive point.

If the dishes introduced before are more popular with boys, then this mung bean paste will definitely make most girls unable to refuse.

But it’s just that the method of this thing is too complicated, and it needs to be chilled, which is a bit unfulfilled in the store.

"Boss Xu, I think we can add some ice to it. Isn't this a mung bean smoothie? When the time comes, put it in a big pot, and if anyone wants it, it's not only convenient, but also very popular."

Li Hao, a foodie, has a more divergent thinking in this regard.

Since it cannot be chilled, add ice to it.

Xu Zhuo thought about it, and this method is indeed feasible.

And mung bean smoothie is slightly thinner than mung bean paste, so it tastes more refreshing.

After confirming, Xu Zhuo called Chen Guifang and asked her to buy an ice machine from the provincial capital and send it over, the sooner the better.

Chen Guifang was very curious about Xu Zhuo's request: "Son, what do you need an ice machine for? It's only used by cold drink shops. If you want to use ice, just freeze it in the refrigerator."

If you use a small amount, you can freeze it directly.

But since Xu Zhuo is going to launch a new one in the store this time, he will not make do with it.

Moreover, the ice machine can be directly made into smoothies, which is convenient to use.

Xu Zhuo said, "I'm going to sell mung bean smoothies in the store. It's hot now, so it should sell well..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Guifang interrupted him: "The kind that Keke posted in Moments just now? You didn't say it earlier, wait, I'm going to buy an ice machine now, and it will definitely be delivered before dark .”

She was so forthright, somewhat beyond Xu Zhuo's expectations.

Could it be that Chen Guifang has evolved to the point where she can see business opportunities through photos?

Chapter 113 Changing Tableware

Boss Xu asked Chen Guifang curiously, but the answer left him speechless.

"He likes Coco, so let's make it. The ice machine is not expensive, only a few thousand dollars, but if you want to win Coco, you will be the son-in-law of the first floor in Yangzhou."

"At that time, you won't be hungry no matter how hard you want, what a deal!"

Tsk tsk, this is really good enough to be a mother.

I have been pushing myself to stay with Yu Keke because I think it is more cost-effective if he has money...

Although this is the reason, it always feels weird to say it from Chen Guifang's mouth.

Especially the kind of ecstasy in the words.

It's like finding the next home to take over.

Perhaps because she felt that there was something wrong with her words, Chen Guifang quickly covered it up.

"Son, don't think about it too much. Our family and the Yu family are family friends. You two are also close friends. First, I'll buy you an ice machine."

"Leave me a bowl of the mung bean paste you made, don't forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law..."

All right, just be happy.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhuo began to discuss the price with the skipping trio.

Now everything is ready, the ice machine will be delivered today, the mung beans will be soaked tonight, and a big pot can be made tomorrow morning.

Absolutely do not delay the listing at noon tomorrow.

But now Xu Zhuo is thinking about how much to sell this thing for.

And what to use is also a problem.

Now he is serving the stewed noodles in a bowl and holding it in his hand, he always feels a bit nondescript.

Moreover, the weight is too large, which is not very friendly to some weak people.

"Would you like to see the disposable tableware?"

Li Hao came up with another idea.

Disposable tableware is very good, and there is no need to wash it.
