Chapter 125 How Dare
Zhou Ying came to the Shen residence early in the morning, and Shen Huazheng happened to be making pan-fried buns.
Chen Huazheng pointed to the meat beside her and said, "If you want to make Shengjianbao delicious, the filling is very important. This kind of meat with even fat and lean meat is the most suitable."
Zhou Ying nodded and kept Shen Huazheng’s words in mind.
Shen Huazheng rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands, and started chopping the meat.
The next step is to marinate the meat. The ingredients for marinating are very particular, and you need to add soy sauce, salt, five-spice powder, chopped green onions and minced ginger.
Finally, add an appropriate amount of rice wine to remove the astringency.
After marinating the meat, Shen Huazheng lit another pot, heated a spoonful of oil, and poured it over the meat filling.
With a "sizzling" sound, the meat filling in the bowl trembled slightly.
Chen Huazheng did not forget to explain to Zhou Ying: "This can lock in the moisture in the meat."
Zhou Ying nodded and stirred the meat filling with chopsticks.
Shen Huazheng added some starch water to make the meat filling and seasoning blend more evenly.
The meat filling that was fully blended with the seasonings gave off a fragrance that attracted everyone in the kitchen to inhale.
The county lady hasn't even started making buns yet, but they are already craving for them.
After the meat filling is mixed, the next step is to knead the dough, make the bun skin, and then wrap the meat filling in it.
Soon, plump, white buns appeared neatly arranged on the chopping board in the kitchen.
Chen Huazheng asked someone to heat up the pot, then put the buns into the pot one by one, and poured oil and half a bowl of water around them.
Seeing that the buns were almost cooked, Shen Huazheng poured another bowl of starch water into them.
Chen Huazheng: "This bowl of starch water is the key to whether the bottom can be fried into a golden crispy crust."
As soon as the starch water entered the pot, it quickly filled the gaps between the buns.
When it is baked over high heat, a thin bottom crust is formed. When it is taken out of the pan, it is the golden crispy crust at the bottom of the pan-fried bun.
…
Princess Mansion
"These bastards! How dare they treat Ning'er like this?"
Upon learning what happened at Jiang Can's residence that day, Princess Yi'an slammed the table in anger. "While I am still here, they dare to bully Ning'er like this."
"If I were no longer here, wouldn't Ning'er be bullied to the point where not even a bone would be left?"
Nanny He beside her hurriedly brought a cup of tea and said, "Princess, calm down. Your health is important."
Princess Yi'an took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and put the cup down again.
She looked at Nanny He and sighed, "Ah Yao, did you and I make a mistake back then? I thought that as long as I kept Ning'er by my side and separated that evil family, those messy things wouldn't happen to Ning'er."
Nanny He slowly advised, "Princess, how can this be your fault? Everything you did was for the princess."
As Princess Yi'an's personal nanny, she saw it clearly.
Over the years, Princess Yi'an has always blamed herself, thinking that she should not have taken into account the mother-son relationship and failed to stop Xiao Han and her son from entering the house in the first place.
This is what caused Princess Lejia to suffer injustice.
But, it was clearly Jiang Jinrong and Xiao Han who made the mistake, how could it be blamed on others?
Princess Yi'an: "And that silly Ning'er, why didn't she tell me about this?"
If she hadn't noticed that her granddaughter was in a bad mood and secretly asked someone to investigate, she probably wouldn't have known about it until now.
Nanny He: "The princess is filial, she doesn't want you to worry."
Princess Yi'an picked up the teacup again and looked at the rising and falling of the tea leaves inside: "No, I have to remove Ning'er's worries."
She raised her eyes, as if she had made up her mind. "Ayao, have someone notify the eldest and his wife to come over and tell them that I have something to discuss with them."
"Yes, Princess."
…
The plump white dumplings were placed closely together, and under the roasting fire, the bottom edges gradually turned from white to brown.
Shen Huazheng grabbed a handful of black sesame seeds and sprinkled them into the pot.
Soon, a pot of fragrant, golden-colored pan-fried buns was ready.
The air is filled with an enticing fragrance that makes one's mouth water just by smelling it.
Zhou Ying couldn't help but sniff: "What a nice smell!"

"Zheng'er, these buns are so delicious!"
Zhou was eating the pan-fried buns happily, following the method Shen Huazheng had told her.
First bite a small hole and then slowly suck out the meat juice.
The gravy was full of essence and the meaty aroma filled the air. The first bite she took was so delicious that her heart trembled.
The bottom of the pan-fried buns is fried until crispy and delicious, while the surface remains soft and tender.
When you chew it, the combination of crispy and soft texture, paired with the fresh and fragrant filling and the rich aroma of black sesame, forms an incomparable beauty.
Every bite is full of surprises and every morsel is incredibly satisfying.
Zhou Ying also ate the steamed buns bite by bite. With a light bite, the fragrant soup inside the buns overflowed into her mouth.
The juice was sucked dry, and the originally round and plump white buns became deflated, looking aggrieved.
It has the same effect as soup dumplings.
But in comparison, Zhou Ying prefers the taste of the pan-fried buns.
The bottom of the pan-fried bun is crispy, but the surface is soft and sticky. When you take a bite, two completely different tastes explode in your mouth.
The filling is full of gravy and has a rich aroma. It is mixed with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and the bun skin is crispy and fragrant, and it tastes unique when chewed.
At this time, dip it in a little balsamic vinegar to relieve the greasiness, and it will be perfect.
After Chen Huazheng finished a pan-fried bun, she scooped up a spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and put it into her mouth.
The dense porridge slides from the mouth into the throat, instantly filling the mouth with a fresh and fragrant taste.
[Ahhh, it’s so delicious! As expected, preserved egg and lean meat porridge and pan-fried buns go well together! ! ]
[No, it should be that the porridge and the buns go well together. Well, next time I can cook a seafood casserole porridge, or a raw beef porridge, a boat porridge, or a Jidi porridge...]
Zhou and Zhou Ying listened to Shen Huazheng's mumbling in her heart, and they both smiled and ate the preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
As soon as I took a spoonful of the dense and fragrant century egg and lean meat porridge, I felt that all the greasiness in my mouth was swept away.
The porridge slid down my throat into my stomach, and I felt warm and comfortable all over.
Zheng'er is really smart. Century egg and lean meat porridge and pan-fried dumplings go really well together.
