After washing up, Yuan Zhou changed into the Han attire for work. Today, Yuan Zhou chose a style that matched with the breakfast.
Because the lower hem of the Han attire was embroidered with needle-shaped horseshoe leaves. The green color matched with the white Han attire looked very harmonious.
Of course, the cuffs of the clothes were still embroidered with lotus leaf patterns. After all, she was the shop belle and had to wear it at all times.
"The Longan Steamed Bun should be enough for two in a steamer." Yuan Zhou took out the bamboo steamer that had been soaked and put it aside to drain.
This time, the steamer was much bigger than the steamer of the Xiaolongbao. After all, it was a steamer for steaming the steamed bun.
While draining the steamer, Yuan Zhou didn't stay idle. He went to the water tank to check the crabs provided by the system yesterday.
"Don't worry. I will make you into delicacies when I have time today. Don't come to me at night." Yuan Zhou fixed his eyes on the crabs in the water tank and said earnestly.
After that, Yuan Zhou began to prepare to make the steamed bun.
I forgot to mention that the Longan Steamed Bun was a characteristic Han snack of Sichuan Province. It was also included in the system reward.
To make the steamed bun, one naturally had to start with the minced meat. However, Yuan Zhou didn't start from this place today. Instead, he started from the dried shrimp.
That's right. The Longan Steamed Bun needed to be added with the golden hook, that is, the dried shrimp.
The dried shrimp didn't need to be soaked for too long. It only needed to be slightly soaked. However, the water that Yuan Zhou used to soak the dried shrimp this time was different.
Because it was soaked with the tea of Longjing before the Rain. In order to prevent the freshness of the shrimps from being taken away by the tea, Yuan Zhou even soaked the Longjing before the Rain three times.
In this way, it could not only remove the fishy smell but also increase the fragrance of the tea.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't waste the tea that had been soaked before and drank it directly.
After all, Yuan Zhou was a very thrifty person.
But now, the thrifty person's stomach was a little full.
"Pa!" Yuan Zhou took out two pieces of pork. The outer layer of the pork didn't have any fascia. It looked like a whole piece. After cutting it with a knife, one could see the beautifully colored lean meat mixed with the white fat meat. There was more lean meat than fat.
When Yuan Zhou cut it open, the meat emitted a hint of fragrance. This smell was different from that of the pig that grew up eating watermelons. It was somewhat similar to the smell of sweet sugar cane.
Upon smelling the smell, Yuan Zhou suddenly had a bad premonition.
"System, do you know the origin of this pork?" Yuan Zhou asked in his mind.
The system displayed, "Host, you can check it yourself."
After displaying this sentence, a document appeared in Yuan Zhou's mind, emitting a faint fluorescent light.
"What a gentle reminder this time, but I have an even worse feeling about this." Yuan Zhou recalled the System's crude explanation.
Yes, in the past, if Yuan Zhou asked this question, the System would immediately give him a bunch of scientific explanations, making Yuan Zhou feel that it was better to be a pig than to be a human.
However, it didn't do that this time. Instead, it let Yuan Zhou check it himself.
Yuan Zhou didn't stop moving his hands. He took the kitchen knife and chopped the pork evenly with a sound of "Duo Duo Duo". At the same time, he clicked open the document sent by the system.
The system displayed, "Xiangcheng Pig, one of the extinct animal breeds that exist among more than 170 extinct animals and plants."
As soon as he saw the beginning, Yuan Zhou almost blacked out.
"System, do you mean this pig is an extinct breed?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, "Yes. It's an extinct breed in Sichuan Province. However, the quality of the meat is excellent. Therefore, the system specially preserved it and then cultivated it."
"Well, that makes sense. Delicious animals can't be extinct." Yuan Zhou nodded his head in a decent manner, but he still couldn't help cursing in his heart.
"The system often gives him ingredients that are either extinct or precious animals and plants. If I don't know better, I might even think that he is engaged in wildlife smuggling." Yuan Zhou complained expressionlessly.
After he finished complaining, Yuan Zhou continued to read the documents. It was a must for Yuan Zhou to have a better understanding of the ingredients every time.
Although he felt like torturing himself every time he read the documents, these animals lived better lives than him. At least, they didn't need to pay for the food provided by the system.
Speaking of which, ever since he got the system, Yuan Zhou didn't say he lived like a dog anymore, because he knew without asking that the dog raised by the system definitely lived better than him.
The system displayed, "The Xiangcheng Pig has a yellowish-brown body color with short and light hair. It has a medium build and a strong physique. Its head is big with forehead lines and its ears are big and droopy."
"Its body is relatively narrow, its back and waist are straight, its abdomen is slightly drooping, its hind legs are well developed, its four limbs are thick and strong, its hooves are strong, the skin on the upper part of the hock joint is slightly wrinkled, and the root of the tail is thick and the tail is longer than the hock joint."
"Xiangcheng Pig needs to grow in the area between 100 ° to 110 ° west longitude and 25 ° north latitude. It likes the warm temperate continental monsoon climate. Its diet also requires a combination of fine, green, coarse and secondary ingredients. Only in this way can it be fed with high-quality Xiangcheng Pigs."
"System, I feel I'm also suitable to live in such a precise climate." Yuan Zhou couldn't help ridiculing the system.
The system displayed, "This system isn't responsible for the feeding of the host."
"Ho Ho …" Yuan Zhou revealed a speechless manner.
"Duo Duo Duo". Although Yuan Zhou was ridiculing the system, he still continued chopping the minced meat with the same strength.
From this, it could be seen that the friendly communication with the system helped Yuan Zhou improve his culinary skills. Therefore, Yuan Zhou continued reading.
The system displayed, "For the feeding of green fodder, this system usually selects dandelion, Diding Ding, Isatis Isatidis, Andrographis Heart Piercing Lotus, Eucommia ulmoides, Ligustrum lucidum, Hawthorn and Astragalus. Appropriately, some top-grade Xinhui Tangerine Peel are added to enrich the diet of the Xiangcheng Pig."
"For the coarse grains, this system will match the Xiangcheng Pig with alpine corn and sweet sorghum. The alpine corn has a slow growth period but is rich in nutrients. The sweet sorghum is delicious. After the meal, the soft and crisp Meishan sugar cane is sweet and juicy."
"Meishan sugar cane? I also like to eat it. "Yuan Zhou's words this time didn't sound like ridicule, but more like nostalgia.
In the past, when Yuan Zhou was young, Yuan Zhou's parents would buy dozens of kilograms of sugar cane every Chinese New Year and eat it slowly at home.
This kind of sugar cane was much softer than the Luohan sugar cane and easier to chew. At that time, Yuan Zhou liked to eat it very much. Besides, he liked to use it as a precious sword and then eat it.
However, Yuan Zhou's nostalgia only lasted for a moment. Immediately, he returned to his usual state.
After chopping the minced meat and mixing it, Yuan Zhou started to knead the dough while waiting for the taste to soak in.
Apart from the filling, the skin of the Dragon Eye Steamed Bun was very important. The most important point was that the skin must be kneaded until it was as smooth and soft as silk.
Therefore, the kneading technique was completely different from the Soup Dumplings.
After kneading the dough and mixing the stuffing, it was time to wrap the bun.
This was the reason why the Dragon Eye Steamed Bun had such a name.
The shape of the Dragon Eye Steamed Bun was like a dragon's eye, hence the name. Therefore, the wrapping technique was also different from other steamed bun.
When wrapping the bun, there must be a hole. However, when steaming, the gravy inside must not flow out. When the bun was steamed, one could see the round and plump stuffing inside and smell its fragrance from the outside.
