NFBE Chapter 214 Rushing
Chapter 214 Rushing
"That's so boring. I was watching a video and saw a recipe for chocolate mooncakes. It's pretty simple. How about we try it?"
Grandma Mo nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Mo Jinchen's eyes flashed with hesitation for a moment, "Chocolate may be too sweet and not suitable for grandma, why not use the filling prepared by the chef..."
Grandma Mo waved her hand and said, "Just try one or two pieces. I won't eat much. It's okay."
Mo Jinchen: ...He was afraid that grandma wouldn’t be able to taste it at all.
But seeing how excited the old man and the young boy were, he didn't pour cold water on them and asked the chef to help them prepare the ingredients.
The chef specially cleared out a large table for the three of them and prepared the ingredients and molds.
Ruan Tang searched the Internet for the video he had seen before, reviewed it carefully, and then patted his chest confidently towards the Mo family's grandfather and grandson.
"I've learned it. Leave it to me."
As he said this, he put on his gloves and followed the steps he remembered.
"It says that the first step is to prepare the filling. Pour the chocolate into a bowl and heat it over water..."
As he spoke, he told Mo Jinchen to add water to the pot and turn on the induction cooker.
I took out a piece of chocolate, cut it into small pieces with a knife and put it in the bowl.
When the water boiled to about 60 degrees, he put the bowl of chocolate into the hot water.
Watching the chocolate melt in the bowl, Grandma Mo reminded: "Remember to stir it with a spoon, otherwise the chocolate will become mushy."
Hearing what Grandma Mo said, Ruan Tang hurriedly went to look for a spoon.
Looking at his unfamiliar and clumsy movements, Grandma Mo seemed to understand something.
"Here it is."
A bony hand reached out and handed him the spoon.
"Love you!"
Ruan Tang took the spoon and gave his lover a sweet smile.
He continued to work with his head down.
Holding the edge of the bowl, he turned the chocolate over and over again.
Seeing that he almost stirred the chocolate out, Mo Jinchen couldn't help but speak out.
"You're stirring too hard and the chocolate will spill out. Just stir gently in a clockwise direction."
He stood behind Ruan Tang, held his hands, and taught him the correct stirring posture step by step.
Looking at the intimacy between the young couple, Grandma Mo at the side couldn't help but smile with her eyes curved.
Before, she had always been worried that her eldest grandson was too cold and that her grandson's wife couldn't stand his icy personality. But she didn't expect that when it came to love, he would be so complicated.
Seeing that he was gradually getting the hang of it, Mo Jinchen let go of his hand.
"The chocolate has melted, and now what do you do?"
"Add sugar, butter, and cream until combined."
So, Mo Jinchen went to help him find the three things.
"How much?"
"30 grams of butter, 200 milliliters of whipping cream, and 20 grams of sugar. No, 10 grams of white sugar will do."
Since grandma is old and shouldn’t eat too much sugar, it would be good for them to make a reduced-sugar version.
Just pour 200 ml of whipped cream directly into a measuring cup.
Sugar is also easy to weigh.
As for butter, Mo Jinchen estimated the size of thirty grams of butter, cut a piece at random, and weighed it on the kitchen scale.
Twenty-eight grams, about right.
But adhering to the principle of strictness, he cut another small piece, put it on the scale, and made sure it was 30 grams before he handed all three portions of ingredients to Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang poured the sugar, butter and cream he handed over into the pot all at once and stirred them for a while. He turned off the heat only after all the ingredients had melted and blended together.
"Mold mold."
He hurriedly found the mold and poured the chocolate filling he had just made into it.
Then he said to Grandma Mo and Mo Jinchen, "The video says that you should put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate it for two hours. The filling will be frozen. When the skin is ready, just wrap it in it and press it into a mold. It's very simple to try it?"
The dough is also very simple to make.
Pour chocolate sauce and peanut oil into a bowl and mix well. Add beaten egg liquid, flour, and cocoa powder and stir well.
By the time they have kneaded the dough and divided it into small pieces, the chocolate filling is almost ready.
Remove the chocolate filling from the mold, then press the small dough into a pancake with the palm of your hand, wrap the chocolate filling in it, and finally use a mooncake mold to press it into a pattern.
Ruan Tang handed over the steps of wrapping the mooncakes and pressing the molds to Grandma Mo.
We agreed to make mooncakes together, so of course it would be meaningful if we all participated together.
The last step is to put it in the oven, preheat it to 190 degrees, and bake it for about 15 minutes.
Chef Ruan, who had been busy for a whole morning, rubbed his hands expectantly, waiting for the fruits of his labor.
Looking at his sparkling little eyes, Mo Jinchen was doting and amused, and reached out to touch his nose.
"Little cat, don't wait here, go back and wash your face first."
"Ah, is there flour on your face?"
Not only flour, but also chocolate sauce, gray and white in color. If you didn't know, you would think he was going to the construction site to move bricks.
Ruan Tang picked up his cell phone, turned on the camera, and raised his little face to take a picture.
It really is.
He subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to wipe it, but was held by Mo Jinchen.
"Don't use your hands. There's flour on your hands too."
He turned around and asked the servant to hand him a towel.
Carefully give him a face.
Ruan Tang was as obedient as a kitten. When he saw him holding out the towel, he tilted his left face and moved closer.
After he finished wiping, he turned around and offered the other cheek.
"How's it going? Are you done?"
"And the hands."
As he spoke, he raised his fair, soft hands and wiped them clean one by one, carefully and seriously, as if he was treating some rare treasure.
Handing the towel to the servant, he took Ruan Tang's hand.
"Let's go. The mooncakes are being watched by servants. Have them serve them when they're done baking."
Grandma Mo also said: "Let them prepare a pot of black tea, and then we can eat mooncakes with tea, and we won't get tired of it."
So the two of them pushed Grandma Mo back to the living room.
Olaf hadn't seen his three owners all morning, so he lay on the sofa in the living room yawning out of boredom. No matter how the servants tried to tease him with a cat teaser, he ignored them.
Suddenly, its ears moved.
Seeing the three poop scoopers finally show up, he meowed excitedly, jumped off the sofa, and pounced on the three people.
Ruan Tang squatted down and picked it up.
"Ah, it's only been a while since we last met, why did Olaf miss us so much?"
Olaf: Meow~~
Soon, the mooncakes were baked and served.
Xuebao in Ruan Tang's arms twitched his nose and was about to move forward.
Ruan Tang quickly stopped him and said, "Xuebao, you can't eat this."
Olaf can’t eat the chocolate filling they make because the caffeine and theobromine in it are harmful to cats and dogs.
Ruan Tang suddenly remembered that today was Mid-Autumn Festival, and he wondered if Xue Bao had his own mooncake, so he asked Grandma Mo.
"Of course it has its own mooncakes, dumplings and glutinous rice balls during festivals. On its birthday, the kitchen will also prepare small cakes for it."
Olaf: Meow~~
Therefore, Ruan Tang quickly ordered the servants to serve a portion of mooncakes specially made for Xue Bao, to prevent the little greedy cat from stealing them.
Just as the family of four was happily preparing to taste the fruits of their labor, Uncle Wang came over and said to the three of them, "The second master and the second mistress are here."
