"Okay." He Shunzi nodded repeatedly, "Besides, I have one more thing that I want to talk to Madam Xia about, but I just want to talk to Madam Xia about it. Madam Xia will just listen to it, and I've already done it. To put it clearly, I guess Madam Xia also disagrees.”
"The manager of Dexinyuan thinks that the rice dumplings, ice powder, jelly, and now the snow-skin mooncakes you made earlier are all very delicious, so he wants me to ask Ms. Xia if she is willing to go. Dexinyuan works as a cook.”
“I already told Manager Nafu at that time. , saying that Madam Xia is busy all the time and has her own business, she definitely refused, which is considered a rejection. She just felt that it would be better to talk to Madam Xia about this matter. "
"But Nafu is in charge of the matter. He didn't say much, he just said, Madam Xia, if you cook fresh food here from now on, Let me pay more attention. If you think it’s good, buy some more for them to try.”
Hearing this, Xia Mingyue nodded slightly, “I really don’t want to work as a cook in other people’s homes, but this is the case. I can put more thought into eating fresh food in the future.”
Seeing that there was at least one last word, He Shunzi was immediately filled with joy, "Then I will have to worry about Lady Xia from now on. I will also go to Lady Xia's place more often. If there are good ones, it will be easy for me to do business, and Lady Xia can also make more money here." Money."
"That's the truth." Xia Mingyue smiled and nodded.
When the matter was settled, He Shunzi drove the bullock cart back without staying too long.
Xia Mingyue started busy purchasing raw materials and continued to make some snowskin mooncakes.
Remembering what He Shunzi had just said about making more side dishes, Xia Mingyue bought some white sesame seeds and prepared to fry some crispy sesame leaves after thinking about it.
Ma Ye is divided into sweet and savory flavors.
For sweet taste, when mixing flour and eggs, just add some sugar. After mixing, roll it into a large piece of uniform thickness, cut it into three-inch long and one-inch long strips, and then A two-inch long opening was made in the middle.
Fold one end of the hemp leaf in from the middle opening, then take it out, and you will get a hemp leaf embryo that is shaped somewhat like a twist.
Put 60% hot oil into the pan and fry until the surface is golden brown. After draining the oil, Xia Mingyue brushed a little honey on the surface to enhance the flavor.
You can also use syrup instead for the final flavor enhancement, but the taste will be too sweet and not as sweet and delicious as honey, but it does not feel greasy at all and the taste is better.
The steps of making and frying the salty sesame leaves are the same, except that when kneading the noodles, the sugar is replaced with salt.
But in order to make the salty Mahua taste richer, Xia Mingyue added a little more Sichuan pepper powder. The Mahua made in this way has the taste of salt and pepper, with a light salty aroma and a slight numbing taste. No matter how you eat it, You won't feel bored.
Considering that Mrs. He was from a high background, most of the cakes usually were sweet. When Xia Mingyue packed the hemp leaves, she only put a small amount of sweets, and most of them were pretended to be Salt and pepper flavored salty mochi leaves.
He Shunzi, who came excitedly to get snowskin mooncakes the next day, became even more delighted when he learned that Xia Mingyue had prepared extra food. However, when he saw that Xia Mingyue had prepared fried sesame leaves, he was originally The bright light in his eyes faded a little.
Took one of them and chewed it in his mouth first. The crispy and delicious taste spread in his mouth and went straight to Tianling Gai. He Shunzi immediately said "huh?"
But she was still a little unsure and asked tentatively, "Ms. Xia, are these fried sesame leaves prepared for De Xinyuan?"
Are you really not giving them to He Shunzi as a snack?
After all, this fried sesame leaf is something ordinary farmers would make.
Most of the farmers' families live a tight life, so the children of the farmers' families don't have much snacks to eat on weekdays. Only when the cooked oil at home runs out, can they live a better life and give it to the children. We fried some sesame leaves for the children to enjoy.
But it is not common to have oil. It has to wait until the holidays. At that time, the children are the happiest, holding the hemp leaves high in their hands. The mouth is also full, and the mouth is full of crispy and fragrant taste.
But this crispy fragrance is only for farmers. Even though the crispy sesame leaves made by Lady Xia tasted very good, He Shunzi was a little worried that it was only for him.
Mrs. He must have eaten a lot of good things, how can she like such an ordinary hemp leaf?
He Shunzi felt unsure.
Especially when he sent food to Dexinyuan earlier, it was originally out of filial piety and care for those related to him. As for the old lady, it was good that she liked him, and it didn’t matter if she didn’t like him. After all, it didn’t delay him. thing.
But now that he was going back specifically to buy food for the old lady, He Shunzi felt quite stressed.
“It’s for Dexinyuan.” Xia Mingyue saw He Shunzi’s complex expression and guessed his worries at this time. She pursed her lips and smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the old lady will like it.”
People who are old and born into wealth probably have more delicacies in their mouths than they have ever eaten. They are not bad at taste and delicious food.
For them, the most delicious food is often the first time they try it, or something that stays in their memory.
Fried sesame leaves are a common thing, and it is also a food that is not popular on the table. Mrs. He may not be able to eat it on weekdays, and even if she can eat it occasionally, it will only be after many years.
No matter which one it is, Xia Mingyue is confident that she can capture Mrs. He's stomach with this simple fried sesame leaf.
Seeing that Xia Mingyue was so determined, He Shunzi felt a little more at ease and just said, "Then I will send it first."
As for whether Mrs. He likes it or not, just leave it to fate. Bar!
With this attitude, He Shunzi left with all his worries.
Zhao Dahu, who was nibbling sweet sesame leaves on the side, tilted his head, "These sesame leaves are so delicious, why does it feel like Uncle Shunzi still doesn't agree with it."
"Maybe he's worried that the old lady he talks about won't like her." Zhao Erhu said.
“Even an old lady from a rich family probably doesn’t like this hemp leaf.” Zhao Dahu was still puzzled, “Is it possible that the taste of rich people is bad?”< br>
Zhao Erhu, "..."
Forget it, I can't explain it to you.
“Or should I say that rich old ladies usually look down on this and have to eat fried crispy meat every day to feel satisfied?” Zhao Dahu asked.
Zhao Erhu, "..."
After thinking about it, Zhao Erhu asked, "Let's put it this way, if you eat fried sesame leaves and fried crispy meat every day, you will still feel these two things. Is the food delicious? "
"It's delicious!" Zhao Dahu replied very simply and decisively, even glancing at Zhao Erhu, "Is it possible that you are questioning Aunt Xia's craftsmanship? "
< br>Zhao Erhu, "..."
It feels like I have fallen into a pit! (End of chapter)
