Chapter 759 Digging Astragalus
The next morning, Shen Xue Ning called Shen Baohong over and said, "I'm going to shoot a video about making egg yolk pastry. Please cooperate with me."
Shen Baohong found it very sudden: "Why do you want to make egg yolk pastry all of a sudden?"
Shen Xue Ning said: "I want to change the mooncake production line of that factory into a production line for making egg yolk pastries."
Shen Baohong blinked and looked at Shen Xuening: "How sudden."
Shen Xue Ning said calmly: "It was very sudden. I just had this idea yesterday. Don't hesitate, hurry up and prepare. I will see the fans' feedback then."
Shen Baohong said "Oh" and immediately got ready.
Shen Xuening first prepared the raw materials:
Oil dough: all-purpose flour, lard, fine sugar, water.
Shortening: low-gluten flour, lard.
Filling: red bean paste, fresh salted egg yolk.
Everything else was available except salted egg yolks, so she went directly to the small supermarket to get them. The small supermarket had all the usual goods.
After bringing back the salted egg yolks, Shen Xuening officially started making egg yolk pastries.
The first step is to take out the salted egg yolk from the fresh salted duck egg, put it on tin foil, sprinkle a small amount of white wine on it, and bake it in a preheated oven at 1810 degrees for about 10 minutes, until the egg yolk is oily, then take it out and set it aside.
The second step is to soften the lard, sift the flour, mix the oil and flour together, knead them into a dough, mix the pastry ingredients into a dough, and put it in a plastic bag to relax for 10 minutes.
The third step is to take a few roasted salted egg yolks, red bean paste, black sesame seeds and relaxed dough. Then use cotton thread to divide the salted egg yolks into two parts, divide the oil skin into small balls evenly, divide the oil pastry into small balls evenly, then roll out the oil skin and wrap it in the oil pastry.
Step 20. After wrapping, flatten it, roll it into a long oval shape, roll it up from top to bottom, cover it with plastic wrap and relax for 15 minutes, then roll it out into an oval shape, roll it up again, and relax for minutes.
Step 5. When the dough is relaxed, make the egg yolk and red bean paste filling. Separate the red bean paste, roll it into a ball, roll it out, wrap it with egg yolk, and roll it into a ball again.
Step 6. Press the middle of the dough roll with your thumb, flatten the two ends together into a ball and then roll it out. Wrap the prepared egg yolk and bean paste filling in it and slowly push upwards to close the opening.
Step 190. Finally, close the edge downwards to make the egg yolk pastry. Brush the egg yolk liquid on the egg yolk pastry and sprinkle a small amount of black sesame seeds on it. Bake in a preheated oven at 30 degrees for about minutes. When the surface of the egg yolk pastry is golden and fragrant, it can be taken out of the oven.
While filming, Shen Baohong watched Shen Xuening making egg yolk pastry and couldn't help but ask: "Xuening, you look so skilled, have you ever made this?"
Shen Xue Ning was calm as always: "No, I learned by watching the video. I have a good memory and I can learn it after watching it once."
Shen Baohong was already accustomed to Shen Xuening's talent, but he still couldn't help but be surprised: "You can learn it after just watching it once?"
Shen Xue Ning said: "I can't say that I can learn it after reading it once. I can only say that I remember it."
Shen Baohong said: "I envy you for having such a good memory."
"Your memory is not bad." Shen Xue Ning glanced at Shen Baohong, "You don't have to envy others, it's already very good."
Shen Baohong pursed his lips and suddenly smiled. He was quite good: "Yeah, I'll listen to you."
Shen Xuening put the egg yolk pastry into the oven and then just waited for it to be cooked.
Shen Baohong looked at the countdown of the oven and couldn't help but said, "It's so troublesome to make egg yolk pastry. Why did you think of making egg yolk pastry?"
Shen Xue Ning said as a matter of course: "Because it tastes good."
Shen Baohong was stunned: "That's right."
"Ding" the oven's prompt sound indicates that the egg yolk pastry is ready.
Shen Xue Ning looked inside the transparent glass door of the oven. It looked good, so she took the baking tray and put it on the table beside her: "How is it?"
Shen Baohong praised it generously: "It's almost the same as the egg yolk crisps sold outside."
The egg yolk pastry is the size of a palm, with a golden surface and black sesame seeds as garnish. It has a crispy aroma and smells delicious.
Shen Bao couldn't wait to ask: "Can we eat now?"
Shen Xuening handed Shen Baohong a disposable glove: "Sure, as long as you are not afraid of the heat."
Shen Baohong took the gloves, put them on his hands, picked up one, blew on it, and took a small bite.
The egg yolk pastry has a strong egg aroma before you put it in your mouth. After you put it in your mouth, the skin is very crispy and the pastry falls down when you bite it. The filling is the classic red bean and salted duck egg filling, which is salty and fragrant. The various flavors are mixed together, it is absolutely delicious.
Shen Baohong gave Shen Xuening a thumbs up: "Excellent people are excellent at everything they do, and they can make egg yolk pastry so well."
Shen Xue Ning also tried one: "It's really good, it should be better than the ones sold online."
Shen Baohong praised it generously: "It's not just tastier, it's several times tastier. If you sell it online, it will definitely be a star product in our store."
Shen Xue Ning said: "Go edit this video later and send it to me. I will tell you about the follow-up after I have watched it."
Shen Baohong immediately agreed: "No problem."
……
At noon, Shen Wenxu came back from the cafeteria and saw the egg yolk pastry on the coffee table at a glance: "Sister, where did you get the egg yolk pastry?"
Shen Xue Ning said: "I made it, you try it."
Shen Wenxu was pleasantly surprised: "Sister, you are so amazing. When did you learn how to make egg yolk pastry?"
"I learned it this morning." Shen Xue Ning looked at the information in his hand and answered casually.
She wanted everyone to try her egg yolk pastry, so she took the information back home to read. Now she was in the living room, reading it while waiting for her family to come back.
"This morning?" Shen Wenxu paused and looked at Shen Xuening in disbelief.
"Yeah, okay, these are not important. You can try it first and see how it tastes?" Shen Xue Ning changed the subject.
"Hmm." Shen Wenxu took an egg yolk pastry and ate it in big mouthfuls. "Sister, the egg yolk pastry you made is so delicious. The egg yolk pastry I ate before was not only not fragrant, but also very greasy. The one you make is different. It is fresh and elegant. The more I eat it, the more delicious it is."
Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "You are quite knowledgeable."
Shen Wenxu was full of pride: "Following my elder sister, I have eaten a lot of good food. I will know whether it tastes good or not after taking a bite."
Shen Xue Ning said: "Amazing."
After a while, Liu Juan and Shen Dong went home together. They also tasted the egg yolk pastry and were full of praise after eating it.
Liu Juan asked curiously: "Ningning, why are you suddenly giving us egg yolk pastry?"
"I'm planning to do this business," Shen Xue Ning explained, "but I've never done it before. I'm going to try it myself first to get a feel for it."
Liu Juan asked, "Are you going to buy some egg yolk pastry?"
Shen Xuening corrected Liu Juan's words: "It's production, then selling, not just production."
Liu Juan was puzzled: "You don't have a factory, where do you produce it?"
Shen Xue Ning said: "I rented a factory to produce moon cakes before, but now it is not producing moon cakes anymore. I want to renew the lease to produce egg yolk cakes."
Liu Juan was more practical: "Is the rent expensive? Can the egg yolk cakes produced cover the rent?"
Shen Xue Ning comforted Liu Juan: "If I were planning to do this business, I would definitely take the rent into consideration, don't worry."
Liu Juan realized that she was overthinking: "As long as you have an idea in mind, that's fine."
Shen Xue Ning said: "Don't worry, I'm just thinking about it now. If I lose money, I will definitely quit."
The previous Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes took more than two months to produce. After deducting all costs, she made more than three million yuan, which is pretty good.
When she produces this mooncake again next year, she will produce both affordable and high-end ones, and she will be able to make more money then.
Shen Xuening's decisions are usually approved by the whole family with a unanimous vote, and her decisions are usually profitable. Everyone trusts her. Now that she wants to produce egg yolk pastries, naturally the whole family supports her.
So the factory manager called again, and Shen Xuening agreed to renew the lease. She planned to rent it for three years. Even if she didn't produce egg yolk pastries, she could still produce other things, so she didn't have to worry about losing money.
The factory manager was very happy. After agreeing on the rent with Shen Xuening, he came here in person to sign the contract with Shen Xuening.
What Shen Xue Ning was thinking was that she would produce for a year first to see the profit. If the profit was good, she would plan to build her own factory. Building the factory here would make it easier to manage, and it would also attract more people to come and work, boosting their local economy.
After deciding to produce egg yolk pastries, Shen Xuening began recruiting workers.
Only after recruiting can we proceed to the next step.
……
After a week of voting, the online voting for the Mid-Autumn Festival competition has come to an end, and today is the day to reveal the final answer.
There aren’t that many ties in the online voting. The top three are the top three, no more.
First place: "Guangling San", ticket.
Second place: "Xi'an Drum Music", ticket.
Third place: "Sword Dance", tickets.
After the rankings were determined, Shen Xue Ning very readily distributed the prize money to them. Each prize was 10,000 yuan, which was quite generous.
This competition allowed everyone to appreciate the beauty of classical culture and fully promoted classical culture. It was vigorously promoted on several official Weibo accounts and had a far-reaching impact.
Shen Xue Ning felt that this competition not only achieved her goal but also made her profit, killing two birds with one stone.
Once the rankings were posted online, the competition came to an end.
……
Medicine mountain.
One day in advance, Shen Xue Ning prepared the manpower and prepared to dig astragalus today.
The astragalus has been planted for two years and can finally be dug this year. The astragalus here is of good quality and many people are eyeing it. However, before that, Zhou Ziwen had already made a reservation with Shen Xue Ning, so no matter how envious others are, there is nothing they can do.
However, Shen Xue Ning will not sell all of them to Zhou Ziwen. She will keep some to sell to local people. She also wants the local people to benefit from it.
Zhou Ziwen came over in person.
Shen Xuening told him that he could sign the contract electronically, but he still came over, ready to see it with his own eyes.
After the astragalus is dug out, it must be sent to the relevant departments for testing and formalities before it can be sold. The whole process is actually quite complicated.
Zhou Ziwen took care of all these things, which relieved Shen Xue Ning of a lot of burden.
