Traveling through the 70s: First Love Face Green Tea

After two hours of this, Li Qiuyuan looked at the mooncake skin, picked up a small ball, kneaded it and spread it out. It was very soft and stretchable.

He clapped his hands and went under the tree outside the door to call someone: "Aunts, the mooncake skin is ready. Let's make mooncakes quickly."

After the fillings had just been made, but the mooncake skins had not yet been obtained, everyone took Gu Qingfeng to other brigades and peeled the chestnuts they had collected.

It was only after she saw him come back that Li Qiuyuan learned that he had been assigned an important task to go to other brigades to collect the raw materials needed to make moon cake fillings.

"Here we are! Take a ball of mooncakes, flatten the crust dough in the palm of your hand, add the fillings, and then transfer the mooncake crust and mooncake fillings to the tiger's mouth of your left hand, just like you usually make buns, completely wrapping the fillings Just stay”

I put it on my hand and showed it to everyone: "Put a set into the wooden mooncake mold, flatten it with your hands, and then push it hard on the chopping board, and the mooncake shape will come out."

Seeing everyone's eagerness to try it, Li Qiuyuan smiled and said: "Everyone, hurry up and try it. It's not difficult, as long as the filling is not exposed, but for one kind of filling, it is best to use the same mold."

The mooncake mold is engraved with "Colorful clouds chasing the moon, blooming peonies, moon rabbit, etc."

Qin Guihua watched with sparkling eyes, and as soon as Li Qiuyuan finished speaking, she took action.

After a while, Liu Meili was the first to make it: "Yuanyuan, look at how these mooncakes are made? If there is anything wrong, tell me so I can correct it."

Seeing that the two of them were the most active and eager to learn, Li Qiuyuan looked at it very seriously: "There is no problem, the fillings are not exposed, and the appearance of the mooncake is very clear. It is completely ready for practice." She gave a thumbs up in praise.

She really didn't talk about the scene, she did it really well and very quickly.

Li Qiuyuan took out the drying tray, smeared oil on it and said: "After it is done, put it in the tray. There should be some space between each one so that the heat can be absorbed evenly."

The earthen oven she saw this time was not like the one in her yard before. It had undergone some modifications.

It was changed to make the fire on the bottom and put the mooncakes on the top, because this way you don't have to take out the fire inside, wipe the dust inside, and then put it on the tray.

Because I have considered that if the sales are good, it will be annoying enough to spend all day doing this.

And if the temperature is not enough by then, the new one can also add firewood.

So on the morning when she went to the county town, Li Qiuyuan gave Gu Qingfeng new drawings and explained how to build it.

"I understand." Just like that, mooncakes were made one by one. With everyone's efforts, all three trays were filled.

Li Qiuyuan counted and found exactly 60 pieces per plate: "Two people will take these three trays to the earthen oven for me first. You can cook the rest first and stop when they are full. I need to take the mooncake skins." Cover it with gauze, otherwise it will dry out over time."

Everyone looked at the mooncakes on the tray and said with joy: "The mooncake patterns are lifelike, exquisite and beautiful, and they look very vivid. Coupled with the color of the flower dye, they are very beautiful."

"Don't tell me, this mooncake looks so handsome. Even I, a grandma, like it." If she had that kind of money and a good family situation, she wouldn't care if it tastes good or not, just because of this look. I will buy a few.

A total of 6 pallets were customized. Originally, Uncle Lu only gave 3 pallets. He said that there is a shortage of steel now and each steel plant has a certain amount and cannot be used at will.

How can Li Qiuyuan agree here? If three earthen ovens are built by then, if there are only three, then the designation will not be enough.

Let's not talk about the extra ones. If there are only three, when the test is done, you have to wait for it to cool down a little before you can take it out. Then this time will take at least 20 minutes. Then won't it be wasted in the oven?

So after her eloquent words and a meal of output, Uncle Lu reluctantly agreed to give 6.

The tray held by Li Qiuyuan came out: "Jiang Ming, take the clip made by Uncle Lao Yong and put this plate in." When asking Liu Lao Yong to make the mold, Li Qiuyuan asked him to use bamboo to make it more than one meter long. clip.

I didn't think so much last time. It was very inconvenient to use a board to do it.

So she thought of it. In the past, when she went to buy things in a bakery, there was basically a small tong in front of each type of bread for customers to use.

"Okay!" Gu Jiangming picked up the clamp hanging on the tree, clamped the two sides, and slowly moved the tray in little by little until all three were placed.

Li Qiuyuan looked at the time: "Sister-in-law Osmanthus, Sister-in-law Gu, after putting the mooncakes in, because the temperature is relatively high now, it will take about 6 minutes to take them out and brush them with egg yolk liquid. After brushing, they can be turned over in another 4 minutes. ”.

They don't have cheats like her, so the time control may not be so accurate, so Li Qiuyuan would rather teach him to turn them over twice to avoid confusion.

"Brushing mooncakes with egg yolk can make the color of the mooncake surface more bright and attractive, increasing the brightness of the mooncake. The baked egg yolk liquid can increase the taste of the mooncake, making the baked mooncake overflowing with aroma, crispy and delicious skin, and golden color. Yellow is more alluring.”

"However, the most important and crucial step at present is to maintain the temperature of the fire during the baking process to ensure even heating. If the heating is uneven, the mooncakes will be burned or the taste will deteriorate."

Because the two learned quickly and had clever reactions, Li Qiuyuan selected them to teach them the skills of baking mooncakes and how to control the heat.

From the moment she started talking about the two of them taking out their notebooks, Li Qiuyuan knew that she had found the right person.
