It didn't take long for the news about Bao Xiucai to spread throughout Yangzhou City. Father Shen was quite furious when he heard about it from his subordinates, and even wanted to go to the yamen himself, and would not stop until Bao Xiucai and others were severely punished.

Shen Mingshu led Luo Xin to persuade him for a long time before he calmed down a little. Shen Mingshu smiled slightly, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and persuaded: "Father, why should you be so impatient? You just need to do some things in the yamen. There is no need You go yourself."

Father Shen took the teacup, took a sip, let down the breath in his chest, and said bitterly: "Those scoundrels are really deceiving people too much."

Shen Mingshu nodded cooperatively, "Indeed, Xin'er Qingyue was shocked. I definitely won't let them go so easily."

Father Shen looked at Luo Xin, his eyes became kind, and he told Shen Mingshu: "In the future, when you have time, take Luo Xin girl around more often, so that those who have bad intentions will not worry about it."

"Yes." Shen Mingshu agreed, turned his face to Luo Xin and smiled slightly.

"If you have other things to do, go get busy, as long as I have girl Luo Xin to accompany me." Shen's father knew that Shen Mingshu must be very busy during the end of the year, so he didn't stay long.

Shen Mingshu stood up and bowed, smiled at Luo Xin, then turned around and left.

Luo Xin watched her leave, then looked away, and said with a smile, "Daddy, do you want to go for a walk in the garden today?"

Father Shen shook his head with a smile, and said, "I want to loosen my muscles and bones today, so push me to the kitchen."

"What delicious food does daddy want to make?" Luo Xin asked curiously.

Father Shen nodded with a smile, and said: "I just take this opportunity to teach you Mingshu's favorite snack. This child is easy to coax since she was a child. Whenever she was wronged when she was young, I will make it for her."

"Sister's favorite? What is it?" Luo Xin asked softly as she pushed Father Shen towards the kitchen.

"Sanding buns," Shen's father said with a little nostalgia on his face, "This is my famous craft. Back then, Ming Shu's mother also liked this one the most. Girl Luo Xin, you haven't tasted it yet."

Luo Xin shook her head, "I saw it on the street yesterday, but I didn't have time to taste it."

"Then you can try what I made today." Father Shen chuckled, and when he arrived at the kitchen, he ordered the cook to prepare the ingredients, so that the yeast dough for steamed buns was always prepared in the kitchen, and the most time-consuming process has been solved , the only thing missing is stuffing.

After Shen's father washed his hands, he checked the prepared materials, and explained to Luo Xin, "The three dices in this three-ding package are diced chicken, diced meat, and diced bamboo shoots. The chicken has to be picked from the next year's hen, so the chicken is fat. The diced meat is the part of the streaky pork strips, the fat head is moderate, and it is the season when the winter bamboo shoots are on the market, and the quality of the bamboo shoots is fresh and tender, just right."

Luo Xin took it seriously in her heart, watching Shen's father's subordinates quickly boil the pork belly strips in cold water, then take them out and put them in boiling water, then add cooking wine, onion, ginger, star anise, etc. to slowly simmer to taste.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen's father also put the chicken prepared on the side into the pot and cooked it, then the bamboo shoots, and then chopped all three into small pieces, and put them aside for later use.

Put the onion and ginger into the pot and sauté until fragrant, then add three diced, sprinkle with dark soy sauce, add sugar, pour in the prepared golden and rich chicken broth, cover and simmer for flavor.

Luo Xin watched Shen's father's movements without blinking. Although Shen's father had difficulty moving his lower body, he seemed to be a different person in front of the stove. Only the ingredients in the pot were left in his eyes, and he took advantage of the fire in every move. , The control over the ingredients is even more refined.

After completing these steps, Father Shen let out a long breath, smiled emotionally, and said: "If you don't move for a long time, your bones are a little rusty."

Luo Xin shook her head, and said softly: "Daddy's appearance just now is really similar to that of my sister. It's done just now, it's amazing."

Hearing what she said, Shen's father was in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "That's good."

Taking advantage of the soup in the pot, Shen's father said to Luo Xin: "The essence of our Yangzhou dim sum is on the noodles and stuffing. Needless to say, the noodles must be as white as snow. After fermentation, the hands will not be full. Inches relaxed and still tall and tall."

"It's like this," Shen's father patted the dough on the side, motioned Luo Xin to reach out and feel it, and then continued: "And this stuffing, you have to choose according to the season, the fresher it is, the more delicious it is. Each stuffing has its own preferences, and the taste also has its own characteristics.”

After talking with Luo Xin, Shen's father counted the time in his mind, opened the lid, and the rich aroma rushed to his face. Most of the soup just now had been absorbed, and Shen's father added sesame oil, fine salt, and starch, and stirred evenly , In this way, the stuffing is ready, just let it cool aside.

The next step is to deal with the fermented dough. Father Shen taught Luo Xin how to roll the noodles into strips, cut them into small pieces of uniform size, and then roll them into thin dough.

"Daddy, is this okay?" Luo Xin followed Father Shen's instructions, carefully moving the rolling pin in her hand, and rolled the dough into a shape that was thick in the middle and thin around the sides.

Father Shen nodded in satisfaction, "You did a good job."

Seeing Luo Xin's hard work, he was in a daze for a moment, as if he saw Ming Shu learning from him a few years ago, he couldn't help smiling, bowed his head and rolled out the dough one by one with his hands.

Not long after, the prepared dough was rolled out, and the three ding fillings were cooled. Father Shen taught Luo Xin to hold the dough in his left hand, add the cooled fillings, and slowly twirl the dough with the index finger and thumb of his right hand. Twist 32 folds, put the skin on the table as white as snow, and the inside is full of fillings, looking delicate and beautiful.

Father Shen looked at Luo Xin's clumsy movements, and said with a smile, "The authentic Yangzhou San Ding Bao has 32 pleats. We just make it every day. You don't need to be too serious. It's your first time to make the buns."

Luo Xin smiled embarrassingly, and her subordinates carefully pinched the bun into rough creases, so that it was wrapped up anyway.

The two men kept wrapping, although the amount was not much, but when the bag was finished, even Shen's father felt a little tired, watching the cook put the three-pack into the steamer, took out the towel from her bosom, Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Luo Xin got up and poured a cup of tea for Father Shen. Father Shen took a sip, smiled, and said, "I'm getting older, and my energy is not as good as before. It will be cooked later, let Shen Fu call someone to give it to Ming Shu and the others." Send it over."

Luo Xin pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "My sister will definitely like it very much."

Father Shen squinted his eyes and smiled, drinking tea comfortably, waiting for the three dingbao to come out of the pot, but thinking in his heart that he must teach Luo Xin more when he finds it. , it is inevitable to be distracted, girl Luo Xin can learn best, and in the future the children will not be unable to find what they want to eat.

Luo Xin didn't know what Shen's father was thinking. She didn't know that she was learning a skill that Shen's father didn't pass on. She just thought that her sister liked it, so she tried her best to write it down.

Not long after, the steaming three-tea buns came out of the oven. The cook did not turn off the fire, but took advantage of the heat to take out the three-tea buns. Each three-tea bag was the same size, with clean folds on the snow-white dough. , the shape is round, and it is quite beautiful when it is steaming.

Shen Fu had already ordered someone to wait at the side, put it in a food box and sent it to Shen Mingshu while it was still hot.

Letting it sit for a while, until the three-tea bun was ready to eat, Luo Xin took a small bite while it was still hot, and the filling slowly spread out under the thin dough.

After absorbing all kinds of soups, the stuffing has both the sweetness of diced chicken and the umami of winter bamboo shoots, Luo Xin raised her eyebrows and savored it carefully, and said after swallowing it: "tasty!"

Father Shen laughed, and nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, he was not unfamiliar with his craft after so long, so he picked up one, turned his head and told Shen Fu to try it too.

Only then did Shen Fu come forward with a smile, picked up one, and took a bite, he realized that it tasted the same as a few years ago, couldn't help but warm his eyes, nodded repeatedly and praised: "Delicious! Master's craftsmanship Needless to say, he is still the number one dim sum chef in Yangzhou."

Father Shen shook his head with a smile, and said: "You are used to saying such good things, and now the masters outside are much better than me."

"Master's words are too modest, this skill of making stuffing is something that no one else can learn." Shen Fu chuckled and ate the buns cleanly.

Father Shen looked at Luo Xin and said kindly, "You have a keen sense of taste, so you will be able to remember this taste. Once you remember this taste, you will naturally know how to make stuffing."

Luo Xin nodded a little embarrassedly, and said, "Daddy, can I eat a few more?" Hearing what Shen's father said, she felt that she had to remember the taste clearly.

Father Shen nodded with a smile, and said, "It's good to eat two more. If you eat too much, you will inevitably accumulate food."

Seeing that Luo Xin likes it, he is also happy in his heart. He thinks carefully about his craftsmanship over the years, and while he is in good spirits recently, he has to work hard to avoid falling down suddenly one day, so he can prepare early.

A trace of melancholy flashed across Father Shen's eyes, but it was quickly covered by a faint smile, and he looked at Luo Xin and the others with a gentle smile.

When Shen Mingshu received the food box, he was slightly startled. He opened the lid and saw five sandwich bags inside. The bottom ones were covered with 32 fine and dense pleats, which should be made by his father. The pleats of that bun were uneven.

Shen Mingshu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, presumably it was Luo Xin who did it, but this girl certainly didn't know that she was placed on top.

Shen Mingshu picked one up and bit it down. It was indeed the taste in her memory. She savored the familiar delicious taste carefully. Thinking of Shen's father's heart, her heart warmed up, and her heart was overwhelmed by the news just received on the case. The shadows on it were gently brushed away.Fortunately, she still has these family members by her side.
