The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 21 Crab Shell Yellow (asking for monthly ticket!)

The next morning, Qin Huai, who had planned to sleep for an extra hour and go to the store to make dumplings at 2 o'clock, forgot to set the alarm clock and was woken up at 5 o'clock on time, so he was forced to go to work early.

When Qin Huai arrived at the cafeteria, Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong were already making meat buns.

Qin Luo was still sleeping. Yesterday was the first day of the opening. Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong felt that such an important day should be prepared by the whole family in advance before waking Qin Luo up. Today has become an ordinary second day. Qin Luo is still growing. If he works hard, he may grow a few more centimeters. So he returned to his happy life of sleeping until he wakes up naturally.

Qin Huai took a look at the materials prepared by Qin Congwen and found that there were a lot more than yesterday.

Apparently Qin Congwen noticed that sales were very good yesterday and the buns were sold out at noon, so he planned to make more.

There are many workers around here who like to eat cheap buns to save money at noon and at night. After the buns are sold out, some customers will take the initiative to ask where the cheap big meat buns are.

Although the 1.5 yuan buns are not very profitable, Qin Congwen has earned money from selling breakfast all his life, and he never thinks 1 or 2 cents is too little. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. He will pack more if he can sell them. Any profit is good.

When business is good, the mood is good. Qin Congwen got up early and made dumplings, full of energy, and even hummed a little tune happily.

Qin Huai, who was kneading the dough, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dad, why don't you just close the breakfast shop at home and rent the store to someone else, and just stay here to sell buns. The sales volume is not worse than at home."

"That won't do." Qin Congwen said without hesitation, "Luoluo's student status is still in her hometown. She will start high school in September. Your mother and I have to go back. Otherwise, if she is left to your aunt to take care of her, she will have a lot of fun."

"Yes, Luo Luo is only slightly better in English, but not in Chinese, math, physics, chemistry, and biology. The results of the high school entrance exam haven't come out yet. I don't know if he can get into a high school in the city. I heard that if the score difference is big, the school selection fee is not cheap, and the two high schools in our county are getting worse every year." When talking about Qin Luo's further studies, Zhao Rong had endless worries. "I don't know if this child can keep up in high school. He has to make up for five subjects, and I don't know if he can make up for it even in 7 days a week."

If he has to make up five subjects in a week... Qin Huai can only light a candle in advance for Qin Luo's miserable high school life.

After kneading the dough, Qin Huai divided the fresh shrimps peeled by Qin Congwen into two portions.

Qin Congwen noticed Qin Huai's actions and asked, "Huai Huai, did Dad prepare too much? I will peel less tomorrow."

"No." Qin Huai shook his head and pointed to the smaller portion, "This portion is for making crab roe."

Crab shell yellow, a famous Shanghai snack.

It is called this name because it is a small yellow round baked snack that looks like a crab shell. There is a poem praising it: "I smell the fragrance before I see the bakery, and the crispy skin falls off as soon as I put it in my mouth", which shows that it has a crispy texture and has two flavors: sweet and salty.

The sweet Qinhuai can be made by mixing sugar with lard. The salty Qinhuai can be made by adding diced pork. The only thing Ouyang wants to eat is the Qinhuai stuffed with shrimp.

Qin Luo doesn't like eating shrimp, so the Qin family never uses fresh shrimp as filling when making wontons.

The earliest method of making crab shell yellow was to stick the raw dough directly on the wall of the oven and bake it. Now the method is not so complicated, just bake it directly in the oven, batch and fast, with the blessing of technology, it is very time-saving and worry-free.

Ouyang has wanted to eat crab shell roe for some time. Qin Huai heard Qin Luo talk about this. Yesterday he even specifically asked for the one with fresh shrimp filling. Qin Huai felt that it was time to fulfill his adopted son's wish.

After all, when Qin Huai first came to inherit the estate, it was Ouyang who took the initiative to let him live in his house. Ouyang helped him a lot, and Qin Huai had to make fresh shrimp stuffing even if he had never done it before.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never made it, there are recipes online.

Qin Huai was simmering the fillings for the Wu Ding Bao over low heat while looking at the recipe instructions on his mobile phone.

After reading it, no.

The person who teaches how to make crab shell yellow is not very skilled.

It looks good, brushed with egg yolk and sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and the appearance is absolutely first-class. However, there is obviously something wrong with the making process of the filling. The shrimp is diced and mixed with pork, and sesame oil, soy sauce, pepper, sugar, and even oyster sauce are added. They want to add all the seasonings that can be added in the kitchen.

Originally, this kind of snack stuffed with fresh shrimp is to enjoy the unique freshness of shrimp. The taste is very light. If you add too much pork, it will easily dominate the taste. If you put too little, it will be tasteless. If you add all the seasonings, the final stuffing will be full of the seasoning taste, and the shrimp white will be added.

Qin Huai shook his head, closed it, and looked at the next one.

It doesn’t seem to work.

Also, how could a truly amazing secret recipe appear on the Internet? This is a secret recipe.

Forget it, just go with your gut feeling.

Qin Huai believed that Ouyang would not mind. And he always felt good.

Qin Huai started three-line operations, supervising the bun filling in the pot, controlling the dough that was silently fermenting, and making the crab shell yellow filling at the same time.

At 6:07, the first batch of crab shell yellow stuffed with fresh shrimp came out of the oven.

Ouyang entered the store almost on time at 6:08, entering the store 100% earlier than all the salaried employees.

Huang Xi hasn't come yet.

Qin Huai does not encourage employees to come to work early. After all, there will not be many customers even if they come early. Qin Huai and his staff can easily handle three or two customers who come to the store for a morning jog.

The rent near Yunzhong Community is not cheap, and the waiters in the store generally live far away, and they have to get up early to work the early shift. Qin Huai knows the pain of not being able to sleep in, and he is not too obsessed with punching in on time for work.

"Crab shell yellow!" Ouyang saw the golden crab shell yellow at a glance.

The whole plate of crab shell yellow neatly placed together is indeed very eye-catching, not to mention that this large plate of crab shell yellow is freshly baked. Crab shell yellow is originally a shortbread, and anyone who has been to a dim sum restaurant knows how fragrant the freshly baked shortbread is.

Ouyang took a deep breath in ecstasy.

"Smells good! So good! It's worth my early morning, Qin Huai, I can eat ten!"

Qin Huai didn't believe Ouyang's nonsense at all. The five- and three-dining buns in the small steamer next to him would be ready in two or three minutes.

"Would you like two to try first?" Qin Huai picked up the rack.

Ouyang nodded frantically.

Qin Huai put two crab shell roes into a small plate, and instructed Ouyang to go to the warehouse to find the crab shell roe label and hang it on the window, reminding him that this thing is really hot when it is just out of the oven, hotter than buns, so if you don't have Qin Luo's iron tongue, don't eat it directly.

Ouyang went to look for the sign and spent some time there. After washing his hands, he came back to eat.

Ouyang picked up one tentatively with his hand, squeezed it a little too hard, and the pastry fell off.

One mouthful.

Crispy, fragrant, salty and fresh.

The crispy skin and sesame seeds covered the corners of his mouth, and fell onto the table, staining half of his body. The salty fragrance of the pork and the taste of the shrimp were all very distinct. Ouyang took a bite and felt that the shrimp must be very good.

Smells like shrimp!
He ate a lot of shrimp-filled dim sum, including shrimp wontons with a whole shrimp in them, but he couldn't taste any shrimp flavor at all.

But the crab shell yellow in my hand does.

Still fragrant and crispy.

Without any hesitation, Ouyang swallowed the remaining crab shell yellow in one gulp. Then he picked up the second one, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed it in the same way.

One in one bite, so cool!
This time I can really eat 10!
Ouyang chewed happily, lamenting in his heart that his parents were so disappointing.

Why couldn't his parents have happened to go traveling to Qiu County 20 years ago, happened to pass by the welfare home, and happened to meet Qin Huai and adopt him?

In this case, Qin Huai would be his younger brother!

Now Qin Luo has a good life of eating snacks every day, isn't Ouyang living a good life?
Ouyang looked at Qin Huai, his eyes full of regret.

Qin Huai:......

Why did he feel that Ouyang’s eyes were weird?
