Chapter 252 Mooncakes
Liu Yue'e went home at night and was shocked to learn from Yaozu that her son had pushed down the county magistrate.
Who is the county magistrate?
The little bully and chief son of Pingchuan County.
Even if he asked his mother-in-law to fuck his grandma, his son, a farmer's boy, would still have a problem with the county magistrate's son. Yaozu did not try to coax the county magistrate's son, but pushed him away.
If they were offended or Magistrate Liu found out, their second wife would have offended someone.
If I lose my mother-in-law’s favor, will I still be able to live a good life?
Thinking like this, Liu Yue'e twisted Gu Yaozu's ears and said: "How did I tell you, what is Mr. Liu's identity, can you afford to offend him? I want you to treat Mr. Liu well. Young Master, you didn’t fight back when he hit you, you didn’t fight back when he scolded you, but you pushed him away, little bastard. Look, I won't beat you to death."
Gu Yaozu screamed in agony, "Mom, grandma didn't blame me. Grandma was facing me."
Liu Yue'e said: " You can’t be rude to Young Master Liu even if your breasts are on your side.”
Liu Yanhong and Man'er saw Gu Yaozu's ears being twisted at the door of the second room, and went to Tong Huaqiong's place to bring reinforcements.
Tong Huaqiong has already heard Liu Yuee's curse.
With her voice, it was impossible for Tong Huaqiong to pretend not to hear.
"Is there anyone who disciplines children like you? Just twist them without asking anything."
Tong Huaqiong scolded Liu Yuee.
"What's wrong, our Yaozu is not as noble as the county magistrate? Liu Yanhong's father is the county magistrate, so it makes sense for him to fight with Yaozu, right?"
"Don't be so mean. Yaozu did nothing wrong today, so you can’t hit him.”
Normally Tong Huaqiong doesn’t interfere in the education of his children.
But today is different. The reason why Liu Yue'e beat Yaozu today was obviously to please the county magistrate.
This era does not mean that we do not respect the powerful, but Tong Huaqiong does not agree with admitting mistakes when they are not wrong.
Letting Yaozu be servile to Liu Yanhong was not allowed by her.
Liu Yue'e said simply: "Mom, I understand, I won't be a bitch anymore."
Tong Huaqiong: "."
Liu Yue'e was scolded by Tong Huaqiong. Not only was he not angry, he was actually happy.
The current mother-in-law is obviously partial to Man'er. Liu Yue'e is very dissatisfied, but because of Tong Huaqiong's "power", she usually does not dare to show it.
She thought that Yaozu had already lost her mother-in-law's favor, and that no matter what happened to Yaozu, her mother-in-law no longer cared.
To her surprise, her mother-in-law was so protective of Yaozu.
Today she beat and scolded Yaozu, which at least confirmed that Yaozu still had a status in her mother-in-law's heart.
My mother-in-law still regards Yao Zu as her grandson.
For the sake of his grandson, even the county magistrate’s son is not afraid of offending him.
Facing Liu Yue'e's flattering eyes, Tong Huaqiong felt that Liu Yue'e's brain was broken.
Why does the more he scolds her, the happier she becomes.
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Tong Huaqiong came up with several mooncake recipes.
The mooncakes of this era were relatively simple, mainly with five kernels, but also with bean paste, jujube paste and other fillings.
Tong Huaqiong lived in an era where there were many types of mooncakes, but she really liked eating these quaint old-fashioned mooncakes.
Especially the five-nut mooncake without green and red threads, as long as the fillings are sufficient, she thinks it is better than all mooncakes.
But from a business perspective, she believes that innovative mooncakes are more needed in this era. Just like in the previous life, the mooncakes in a certain Hong Kong created Liuxin mooncakes because of their bold innovation, thus establishing their status as the number one mooncake brand.
Now Peach Blossom Dessert not only has two shops in Yanguan Town, but also shops in Pingchuan County and Fucheng will open before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Pingchuan County and Fucheng are not as competitive as Yanguan Town. Competition is fierce. Each pastry shop has its own flagship product. If Peach Blossom Dessert wants to establish its brand and gain a foothold, it must launch its own specialty pastries.
Pastries are not meals or necessities, they are the icing on the cake of daily life.
The only thing that attracts people to pastry shops is festivals, especially festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival that are closely associated with pastries.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household has to visit relatives and friends. When visiting relatives and friends, you have to bring moon cakes and pastries.
We can take advantage of the Mid-Autumn mooncake season to use innovation to subvert tradition and carry out a mooncake reform to attract everyone's attention.
For Tong Huaqiong, a modern soul, it is not difficult at all to prepare mooncake recipes that are refreshing for this era.
Egg yolk mooncakes, liquid mooncakes, snowskin mooncakes, lotus paste mooncakes, ham mooncakes, and of course the traditional red mooncakes, five-nut mooncakes, and bean paste mooncakes.
Tong Huaqiong is well aware that materials in this era are relatively scarce. Nuts such as melon seeds and peanuts are relatively precious. There are rarely enough nuts in five-nut mooncakes. They usually use cheap winter melon puree and green and red silk to make up the amount. This is also This is why she hated eating five-nut mooncakes when she was a child and many of her peers at that time.
When I grew up, I baked five-nut mooncakes, but found that the deliciousness was beyond my imagination.
Peach Blossom Dessert’s five-nut mooncake, Tong Huaqiong, also doesn’t cut corners. She formulates it according to her own taste. It’s stuffed with melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and sesame seeds.
A fire was lit in the oven in the yard, and Tong Huaqiong kept baking from morning to night.
Chen Sufen was left at home by Tong Huaqiong to attack.
In addition to Chen Sufen, Liu Yue'e's niece Liu Xiuxiu also helped.
Tong Huaqiong discovered Liu Xiuxiu's baking talent and intended to cultivate her.
"Grandma Tong has a lot of ideas. We people in Yanguan Town have never seen these mooncake recipes, not to mention eating them." Liu Xiuxiu molded the mooncakes with them. Said, "This mold is also beautiful."
The moon cake mold is also beautiful, with Chang'e flying to the moon, Wu Gang cutting down trees, and the words "Reunion". These molds were customized by Tong Huaqiong in the Lu family's shop.
Beautiful molds can enhance the quality of mooncakes, especially when given as gifts.
Chen Sufen pursed her lips and smiled but said nothing.
Her mother-in-law has a golden finger. Even then, it is inseparable from her mother-in-law's ingenuity.
Like her, even if a pile of raw materials are placed in front of her, she can't match the recipe her mother-in-law came up with.
“The reason why I can come up with ideas is that I dare to try boldly.” Tong Huaqiong said.
She discovered that Chen Sufen and Liu Xiuxiu were both talented in baking. The difference was that both of them were subject to the thinking of "failure means a waste of materials", so they did not dare to make bold recipes or bake boldly.
They can use her prescriptions after listening to them once, but if they give birth to the prescription themselves, they will not dare to start.
This cannot continue.
Tong Huaqiong took the opportunity and said to Liu Xiuxiu: "Since I let you take charge of the baking room, I'm not afraid of you wasting materials. Just like when I figured out the mooncake recipe, I couldn't succeed in one go. I had to repeat the recipe to find it. The most delicious taste. A qualified baker must be able to make his own recipes and make them. If you can make the recipes, I can afford to waste materials. "
Speaking of this, Tong Huaqiong thought that he couldn't just teach. , we will have to make regulations in the future.
As for the masters in the baking room, everyone has to figure out a recipe every month.
If the prepared recipe is widely praised by customers once it is launched, additional bonuses will be given.
Only in this way can we encourage everyone to dare to innovate.
