He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days. Lu Yan made a batch of mooncakes before and gave them all away without selling them. She has been thinking about making them again these days.

Spring Equinox has now completely taken over the breakfast stall, and is gradually taking over the skewers for late night snacks. Winter Solstice is responsible for making various skewers and beating egg whites. Lu Yan only does it when she is too busy. She is extremely busy at noon every day. There wasn't even a donkey responsible for grinding sweet potatoes, so he had a lot of time to think about the snack box.

She had long wanted to package all the snacks. For an extra fee, she could put them in boxes and take them away. It would be much easier than bringing boxes from home. This time let’s start with mooncakes.

Lu Yan remembered that modern mooncake boxes are basically a large box. When opened, there are small compartments inside. Each small compartment contains a small box, and the mooncakes are placed in the small boxes. Lu Yan was prepared to do this.

This structure can be split into three parts. First make a big box, then fix the small grid into it, and finally make the same number of small boxes as the grid, insert them and fix them in the grid. Lu Yan drew the floor plan of the three structures of large box, small grid, and small box, marked the dimensions, and the requirements for the three different materials, and prepared to give these to Song Bowen.

Lu Yan wanted to make three kinds of boxes this time, one with four compartments inside as a sweet mooncake gift box, one with three compartments inside as a salty mooncake gift box, and one with seven compartments inside as a family portrait gift box. This type is sold in sets and is best given as a gift. If you want to eat it at home, just buy it in bulk and put it in paper bags instead of gift boxes.

Lu Yan also put a lot of effort into the fillings of the mooncakes this time. Sweet mooncakes are a Hengzhou tradition, needless to say. She originally planned to make four flavors of salty mooncakes, but she couldn't buy the cloud legs, so she had to give up the cloud leg mooncakes. The final choices were salt and pepper mooncakes, salted egg yolk meat floss mooncakes and fresh meat mooncakes, the latter two of which were surprisingly popular.

Salted egg yolk and meat floss mooncakes truly opened the door to a new world of salty mooncakes for the people of Yaoshan County.

Lu Yan insists that savory mooncakes should use puff pastry. The production of puff pastry is more complicated than Cantonese-style mooncake crust. The key is dry pastry and water-oil noodles. Spread the flour on the chopping board, make a hole in the middle, add vegetable oil and lard, and stir with your hands to emulsify. Then pour in hot water of about 80 degrees and knead the dough together with the oil. Knead it into a ball, cover it and let it sit for a while. This is water and oil noodles. Add lard to the flour, stir it, and this is dry puff pastry.

Spread the rested water and oil noodles into a cake, put the dry pastry on the water and oil noodles and bread it, then roll it out evenly, roll it up from one end, roll it into a cylinder, and then cut it into small uniform pieces. The crust is ready.

Meat floss is also very easy to make. Lu Yan used two kinds of meat, chicken and pork, for the better taste. In fact, she could only use one kind. Cut the chicken breast and pork loin into large pieces, put it in a pot under cold water, add onion, ginger and cooking wine, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam and cook for a quarter of an hour, take out the chicken breast, cook for another two quarters of an hour, take out the pork, now the meat is all gone Ripe. Tear the cooked meat into shreds, put it into the pot, add soy sauce, salt, and sugar to taste, stir the shredded meat evenly, then add oil and stir evenly, stir over low heat to let all the water evaporate, and the floss will become Slowly becoming hairy. When the water has almost evaporated, take it out and stir it for a while with the wooden egg beater Lu Yan made before. The meat floss is ready.

The salted egg yolk is the egg laid by the duck at home. Lu Yan had pickled it before. Now it has become sandy and oily. If you poke a small lipstick, the oil will come out.

The meat floss is too dry. It is impossible to wrap the salted egg yolk directly with the meat floss. Most recipes add salad dressing mayonnaise, but the mayonnaise making process requires too much oil. Lu Yan decided to use custard. Sauce instead.

Beat the egg yolks into a bowl, add sugar and mix evenly, then add flour and starch, heat the goat milk, slowly pour it into the paste, stir while adding, finally put it on the fire and stir while heating, it will slowly change quickly. When it becomes thick, scoop it out and let it cool before use.

Add custard sauce to the meat floss and mix well to make it moist, then wrap it in salted egg yolk, wrap it in pie crust, and bake it in the oven.

The rich taste of salted egg yolk and meat floss mooncakes instantly conquered many people. Because of its existence, people gradually accepted the rationality of the existence of salted egg yolk mooncakes.

Fresh meat mooncakes are another story.

Season the meat filling with salt, sugar and soy sauce and beat evenly. Wrap the meat filling in the pie crust and bake it in the oven, and the fresh meat mooncakes are ready.

Fresh meat mooncakes are best eaten when they are hot. The outer skin is crispy and crumbly, and the filling is delicious and meaty. It is indeed very popular. But everyone’s understanding of it doesn’t seem to be right.

Chu Tiankuo: "Miss Lu, give me two crispy meatloaf."

Lu Yan:? ? ? WTF?

Chu Tiankuo: "Oh oh oh, fresh meat mooncakes! Here are two fresh meat mooncakes!"

Lu Yan glanced at Chu Tiankuo suspiciously and filled him with two fresh meat mooncakes. Chu Tiankuo didn't take it away, he just took it and ate it.

Lu Sheng couldn't help laughing next to him.

Lu Yan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it.

"Have you noticed?" Lu Sheng said: "There are many people asking for fresh meat mooncakes in the morning, and some of them want to guard your freshly baked mooncakes. But there are almost no other mooncakes in the morning, and other mooncakes are sold in the afternoon. "

Lu Yan: "I discovered it, why is that?"

Lu Sheng: "Because they don't think it's a moon cake. What did you hear Chu Tiankuo call? Crispy meat cake."

Lu Yan: "..."

No matter what, the mooncake gift box received a lot of attention when it appeared. The box made by Lu Ji and Yidian Mo is blue and black, with a gold rim. There is a moon printed on the box, and Lu Ji and Yidian Mo are placed side by side under the moon. The simple logo is very calm and elegant. Moreover, in order to earn money from rich people, Lu Yan set a price of five taels of silver for a box of family photos, and the price was limited. The sales turned out to be pretty good, and Lu Sheng said it was an eye-opener.

But the most shocking thing is that Lu Yan launched a luxurious customized package. You can choose the fillings of the mooncakes by yourself, and design them by yourself. You can mix leeks, eggs, pork, scallions, white sugar and brown sugar. As long as you dare to ask for it, she won't dare to make it without her. The mooncake box can be printed with designated patterns, and the mooncakes can also be printed with designated words. The custom-made mooncakes were sold at a sky-high price of [-] taels of silver. If you buy customized mooncakes, you will receive a customized mooncake box for free. Rich people say they are making a fortune! Lu Yan teamed up with Song Bowen to sweep away the pockets of rich people like autumn leaves, and the rich people still want to say thank you.

Lu Sheng: Very shocked.

At this point, Lu Kee’s desserts have initially been separated from Lu Kee’s affordable breakfast. Yidian Mo also made its first pot of gold in the county. Song Bowen took the money and rented a shop close to the county school and Lu Ji, and successfully opened the first Yidian Mo store in the county.
