Chapter 34 Explosive
Thanks to the transformation by the dew, Ye Ran's physical condition is now comparable to that of an athlete, so she quickly arrived at Hou Zhiqiang's house, running and walking all the way.
Hou Zhiqiang and his wife had already prepared things and were waiting for her. When they saw her arrive, they immediately pulled her inside.
"Girl, you've finally arrived! Check if I've prepared all the materials. Is there anything missing?"
Ye Ran carefully checked the materials and couldn't help but admire Hou Zhiqiang's ability. In just one night, he had prepared all the materials so quickly, and each material was of very high quality.
Ye Ran nodded in satisfaction, "Brother Hou, there's nothing wrong with these materials. You're really amazing, you prepared them all in one night!"
"Hey! What's that! Girl, the most important part is coming up, it's all up to you now!"
"Okay, I've got it covered!" Ye Ran confidently rolled up her sleeves.
Looking at the abundance of materials in front of her, Ye Ran pondered. It was currently the harvest season for corn and soybeans, so many people were very busy. Moreover, at this time of year, people were still very concerned about the cost-effectiveness of their purchases and whether they could fill their stomachs.
So Ye Ran decided to make a brown sugar glutinous rice cake first.
Also, no matter when, women's and children's money is the easiest to earn, and it's hot right now, so she also decided to make an egg tart.
After Ye Ran made up her mind, she immediately got to work. She planned to make glutinous rice cakes first, and then egg tarts, so that the timing would be just right.
The first step is to add boiling water to the glutinous rice flour and stir with chopsticks until it forms clumps. Different types of glutinous rice flour have different water absorption rates, so reserve a little boiling water when adding it, and add more water only when it feels dry.
Ji Yin was amazed by her smooth and skillful movements. "Girl, how come you're so proficient? Don't you usually use cold water to knead dough?"
Ye Ran smiled and said, "Because noodles scalded with boiling water are more elastic and softer. They taste better."
Ji Yin nodded in sudden realization, then continued to stare intently at the screen.
If it were someone else, they might be wary of being spied on while they were working, fearing their secret formula might be stolen. But Ye Ran wasn't afraid of that, after all, she had the dewdrop as her secret weapon! That was something no one else could obtain…
Next, Ye Ran kneaded the slightly cooled glutinous rice dough into a smooth dough, rolled it into a long strip, divided it into equal portions, and rolled each portion into a small strip.
After finishing, Ye Ran placed them on a bamboo basket and gently covered them with gauze.
It will be even crispier and more delicious if you fry it just before you take it to sell.
Next, Ye Ran started making egg tarts.
This is relatively simple. In modern society, many people basically have ready-made egg tart dough, and all they need to do is prepare the egg tart filling.
But if you want a crispy texture and a rich flavor, making your own dough and egg mixture is the best way to suit your taste.
First, use lard and dough, knead them into an oval shape, roll them out several times, and then place them in a mold.
Because of limited resources, Ye Ran used the smallest bowl from the Hou family to make it, simply spreading a shallow layer of filling at the bottom.
Making the egg tart filling is quite simple; it's made with fresh milk, sugar, and eggs, and Ye Ran even secretly added a tiny drop of dew. For a smoother texture, you can separate the egg whites.
