2204 Chicken ball big bun
Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to eat the instant noodles today, as he had a great appetite for the breakfast today.
As the most famous morning tea culture in Guangdong Province, there were countless desserts in it. Many Cantonese chefs had their own specialty in making morning tea desserts. Anyway, Yuan Zhou knew that Chairman Song Ming’s specialty was the water chestnut cake, which was known as the number one hoof in Guangdong Province.
Yuan Zhou always felt that the title was given by his rival and it was a little weird.
Today’s breakfast was a big bag of chicken balls. The reason why Yuan Zhou suddenly had this idea was because he had received a phone call yesterday.
It was a call from the honorary Vice President of Guangdong Province, Qiu Ji. As a famous dessert master in Guangdong, he had the title of the king of desserts and had a close relationship with Ji Yi.
Although they didn’t communicate much, Yuan Zhou had always respected these senior chefs. When he received Qiu Ji’s call, he was still very cautious.
Qiu Ji didn’t come to visit unless he had something to ask. He cut to the chase, mainly because of his worries about the current morning tea culture. For various reasons, some types of morning tea had gradually disappeared from most morning tea restaurants, and one of them was the chicken ball bun.
After all, Qiu Ji’s specialty was the chicken ball buns, sugar syrup, and fried egg powder. He had a better understanding of these things than ordinary people.
Of course, it wasn’t because he was good at it that he felt that it shouldn’t disappear. It was because the skills behind food were gradually disappearing, which was the most heartbreaking part.
In fact, the cooking circle had always been evolving and losing. This was not a one-sided factor such as the dishes not being delicious. There must be many reasons.
With Yuan Zhou’s current status, there was nothing wrong with Qiu Ji looking for him. If anyone in the cooking circle had the ability to change the current situation, almost everyone would say Yuan Zhou’s name in unison.
Yuan Zhou consoled the anxious Qiu Ji for a while and then decided to make the chicken ball buns for breakfast this morning after hanging up the phone.
To be honest, the requirement for making a chicken ball bun was quite high, and only a few old teahouses sold it. This was also one of the reasons why it was gradually lost.
The so-called chicken ball bun was a big bun made from boned chicken meat, pork, fresh bamboo shoots, and other ingredients. There were all kinds of fillings.
In the wangzi business, a big bun was an especially big bun. Without good technique, even a bun couldn’t be wrapped well. And a big bun was also very particular about blooming, just like the pork buns. The steamed chicken balls had to be like a blooming flower.
It was not something that ordinary people could wrap easily. Even the skin of the bun was a big problem.
More stuffing meant that the time it took to ripen was different from ordinary buns, so it was very important to master the steaming time. If it was too early or too late, the bun would either not be cooked or would directly collapse.
The main point was that many teahouses liked to eat a few different types of food, and a chicken ball bun was a big bun, so it was a burden for the new teahouses.
“Pa pa pa”
Yuan Zhou smashed the dough hard on the chopping board. In order to make the steamed bun, he naturally had to knead the dough first. Whether the dough was kneaded well or not would directly affect whether the skin of the steamed bun would break.
Moreover, the chicken meat was also a choice. The authentic chicken ball bun required the chicken meat with bones. Therefore, the parts and the tenderness of the meat were all problems that needed to be paid attention to.
When Yuan Zhou did all these things, he did them smoothly and naturally. He didn’t feel that it was difficult, but rather, he felt that it was very pleasing to the eye.
While Yuan Zhou was making the steamed buns, a long line had already formed at the entrance. As long as Queen Jiang wasn’t there, Wu Hai would definitely be able to keep his first place. This was the confidence of the chief rice bucket of the restaurant.
“Big brother hai, what do you think we should have for breakfast this morning?” The bear asked every day.
Wu Hai sniffed hard while lying on the door. He sniffed for a while like a decent man and then said,””It’s a new breakfast. I’ve never had it before, but it tastes like a bun. “
“Are they soup dumplings?” Today, the grandpa came with his wife.
He had come a long time ago and was standing behind Mao Xiong and the others. Today was also the day that Zhou Xi was not around.
Although he was old, his hearing was still quite good. The grandpa had an obsession with soup dumplings and wanted to eat them every day. Of course, it was also because the grandma liked them, which was the most important thing.
When he heard Wu Hai’s words, he immediately thought it was a soup dumpling. Of course, Yuan Zhou had served quite a lot of steamed buns before, such as crab roe dumplings, soup dumplings, Dragon Eye dumplings, barbecued pork dumplings, and so on. However, the grandpa was definitely a true-love type of soup dumpling.
“No, it’s a new bun. It’s very fragrant and it’s all meat.” Wu Hai felt that his saliva was about to drip down when he smelled it.
The grandpa pouted his mouth. Although it wasn’t a soup dumpling, he still had to eat the breakfast prepared by Yuan Zhou.
“Steamed bun is pretty good.” The old grandma tugged at the grandpa’s sleeve and said gently.
The grandpa immediately beamed with joy and whispered to the grandma about the meat in the new bun.
As for Mao Xiong, he had already sniffed Wu Hai’s body with him. Although she was not familiar with it and thus couldn’t sneak on the door, she could still stay closer to Wu Hai.
Wang Hong, who was standing behind the four of them, had a look of despair on his face. He was showing off his cold affection to them.
Of course, after Wu Hai’s guess was spread out, no one doubted it. Therefore, the breakfast line began to discuss about the steamed buns. The breakfast peddler next to him was very happy when he sold the steamed buns because the breakfast portion was definitely not enough. Then, the customers who didn’t eat the steamed buns would definitely want to eat some to make up for it. After that, wouldn’t the business get better?
Breakfast time soon began.
Everyone followed su Ruoyan’s call and started to walk into the store. The first 16 customers entered in a line and found their usual seats with familiarity.
“Chicken ball buns, one for each of us.” Yuan Zhou looked at it and said.
Although he was not satisfied with only one customer, Wu Hai couldn’t say anything. This was the rule. He was already looking left and right to see if there was anyone who needed help. His focus was on the table of the grandpa and the others.
As expected, the grandpa and the others only ordered one serving. Then, Wu Hai immediately asked them to order another serving. He paid the money so he could eat two servings.
The chicken ball bun lived up to its name. It was really a big bun. The steamer that was served gave off a white steam, accompanied by a little fragrance of flour and meat.
After carefully opening the lid of the steamer, the old man couldn’t help but take a deep breath.”Fortunately, I only ordered one. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to finish it.”
Not only would it be a waste if they couldn’t finish it, they would also be blacklisted. Even the grandpa felt that it wasn’t worth it.
The old man couldn’t be blamed for being surprised. The big bun was as big as its name suggested. It was at least three times the size of an ordinary bun. One could imagine how big it was. It filled the entire steamer basket.
The chicken ball big bun cooked by Yuan Zhou was definitely the most authentic kind. Each of the chicken balls that met the standard was four taels.
“This bun is good.” Looking at the steamed bun that looked like a blooming flower, Wu Hai was quite satisfied with its appearance,”it’s just a little small. I don’t live up to the name big bun.”
Glancing at the other dish that the grandpa ordered for him, Wu Hai still felt the portion was a little small.
