After taking a look at the employees who were working hard, Lin Zhou was relieved to make the dry puff pastry first.
Get a larger stainless steel basin, put the lard first, and then the flour.
Then mix the lard and flour with your hands and crush them. The temperature of your hands will melt the lard, and it will be mixed evenly in a short time.
The next step is to make water-oil skin.
Use hot water for watery skin, which can make the flour gluten-free.
Also find a container, first put the flour, then add the sugar, then pour the hot water, stir the flour a little and it will become fluffy, then add the lard and mix well.
After the water-oil dough is kneaded into a ball, it will be elastic, contrasting with the hard-touch dry dough, which means it is ready.
Seeing the successful dry puff pastry and water-oil skin on the first try, Lin Zhou also gained a new understanding of his cooking talent.
I thought it would be a bit difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so easy once I got started.
Let both doughs rise for a while.
Lin Zhou glanced at the enthusiastic employees who were making mooncakes and felt that they were not making mooncakes, but instead felt like they were doing team building crafts.
When the puff pastry is ready, start preparing the meat filling.
As he was doing it, Lin Zhou suddenly felt that making moon cakes was no different from making steamed buns.
It’s all about preparing the dough and fillings.
The fresh meat filling is similar to the previous meat bun filling.
As a result, my hand movements became more and more skillful, and a pot of fresh meat filling was ready in a short time.
Once the dough has risen, start making puff pastry.
Lin Zhou sprinkled a layer of dry flour on the chopping board, then placed the dough on the chopping board and rolled it out into a palm-sized piece of dough.
In this step, you don’t need to roll the dough too big, as long as it can cover the dry pastry.
Then knead the dry pastry into a small ball, place it in the middle of the water-based dough, and wrap it up around it.
Roll out the wrapped dough thinly, rolling it back and forth, into a rectangular cake, then fold it up, and roll it again, rolling it back and forth, back and forth.
Then I got a big piece of pie.
After rolling up the cake, wrap it tightly layer by layer, and finally it becomes something like a facial tissue roll. Use a knife to cut it into small pieces, roll it out into a shape like a dumpling wrapper, and then wrap it.
Fresh meat mooncakes are more like making steamed buns.
The fillings are wrapped in the dough, kneaded into a ball, pressed into a cake shape, placed in a baking pan and ready to be baked.
The oven kept working, and one plate after another of mooncakes came out of the oven.
Everyone was so excited around the freshly baked mooncakes.
"Wow, it turns out that freshly baked mooncakes look like this. I haven't eaten hot mooncakes yet."
"It's so funny. Apart from making it yourself, who has ever eaten hot mooncakes? They are all cooled and packaged for sale."
"Is it hot or not? I want to have a taste."
"Are you talking nonsense? I just took it out. If you can't eat it, it won't burn you to death."
After the mooncakes came out of the oven, everyone took pictures and watched, but no one had the heart to continue making mooncakes.
Only Dadong stood firm and continued to wrap mooncakes for Lin Zhou.
"Don't you want to try the mooncakes you made?"
Lin Zhou was very happy to see everyone's excitement.
He was very curious when he saw Dadong who was not interested.
"It's the same thing after eating for a while, so much."
Dadong wants to cherish his boss's time in the building and build a good relationship with him, if he can be directly upgraded to the position of his assistant.
He was satisfied.
The rest of the things are not important to the boss!
"Yes. Did you buy a packaging box?"
"I bought it. There are wooden boxes, bamboo boxes, and paper boxes."
"Okay, wait until the mooncakes cool down and then package them."
"Then you go to Jiangdong City and deliver some mooncakes to me."
Lin Zhou's attention and the reason for assigning him work were the best recognition for Dadong. The hand holding the moon cake was shaking with excitement.
This was the first thing the boss asked him to do after buying groceries.
What a good start!
Dadong felt that his wish might work.
"Okay boss, I promise to complete the task."
...
After Dadong finished packaging the mooncakes, in order to get to Jiangdong City quickly, he first took a taxi to the high-speed rail station, and then took the high-speed rail to Jiangdong City.
After taking a taxi, according to the address given by Lin Zhou, he came to Villa No. 3 in the royal capital and handed a suitcase of mooncakes to Butler Sun.
Butler Sun also received the message from Lin Zhou in advance and was waiting at the gate of the villa.
Dadong was very excited.
He must be the first employee to have access to the private life of his boss.
The position of assistant to the boss belongs to him!
Steward Sun and others did not expect that the boss would not forget to send them moon cakes when he was not in Jiangdong during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I was so moved that I didn’t know what to say.
Then they kept their own share, and gave the rest to the Zhang family, including a few boxes, and Pan Yuan's. Butler Sun arranged everything one by one.
When Dadong returned to Ziyuan Building to report the situation to Lin Zhou, he saw that all the employees who had been taking a break ran to the company to get moon cakes.
Lin Zhou has done a lot, so two for each person is enough.
"I'll go. If I had known I wouldn't have a day off today, the person on duty could still make mooncakes with the boss. Who would be envious? I won't tell you,"
"It smells so good. I don't like mooncakes at first, but I really love this fresh meat mooncake. The crust tastes crispy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It's very textured. I have never eaten such salty mooncakes. In the past years, I have The mooncakes I bought were all sweet, but after one bite they were overly sweet, dry and unpalatable."
"The old-fashioned mooncakes are very sweet, and the current snowskin mooncakes are much better, but they are still very different from the mooncakes made by the boss. I also ate mooncakes at home, and the taste difference is huge."
"No, we have seen the ingredients prepared by the boss. They are all fresh and good ingredients. That boy Dadong actually went to a high-end supermarket to buy vegetables. They are all organic vegetables and the pork is also black pork. How can it not be delicious?"
"Indeed, the ingredients have a great influence on the taste. How can mooncakes sold outside, especially those made by factory machines, give you good ingredients?"
"The boss is willing to give it up, and all the ingredients he wants must be good."
"Smells, it smells so good!"
People who have never eaten fresh meat mooncakes may have an inherent impression that mooncakes are not delicious.
But when I ate it, I found that it was really fragrant. The outer skin was so crispy that I accidentally dropped it on my clothes.
Then the fresh meat is firm and juicy. It is very juicy after one bite, not to mention it is juicy and fresh.
It's not the juice that comes from cold lard or frozen pork skin, it's the juice that comes from roasting fresh pork.
Moreover, the gravy will slowly penetrate into the puff pastry during the baking process, without leaking to the outer skin and affecting the crispy texture, which is a unique feat.
Especially the freshly baked meat mooncakes, which are so hot that your tongue will tremble when you take one bite.
Although it may be hot.
But it’s so delicious!
"If the boss opens a store, I will definitely be the number one fan and I can't get enough of it!"
"It turns out that the freshly made mooncakes are so delicious. What a waste of time. What did I eat before?"
"The key is not to be sweet. The Cantonese-style mooncakes made by the boss are fragrant. The baked crust is delicate and fragrant. The fillings inside are all the fragrance of the ingredients themselves. The sweetness is just an embellishment, and the fragrance is the most prominent flavor."
"Yes, yes, it's so delicious. With tea, I can eat two of them in one go."
“It’s a bit full~”
...
