Chapter 332 Wrapped dumplings
In fact, the elderly in this era are all the same. For them, celebrating birthdays means spending money, and they are reluctant to part with it.
It's not that Mr. Wang is reluctant to give up money, but he feels that celebrating his birthday is his own business and there is no need to make it known to everyone.
Shen Yinzai disagreed and said: "Teacher, you can't say that. There are several seventy-year-olds in life. In the past, it was because of the influence of the general environment that it was difficult to celebrate birthdays. But now it is different. Everything is getting better. We still have to celebrate this birthday next year. Don't worry about it, I'll let someone else arrange this."
Mr. Wang did not refuse the kindness of his young disciple: "Don't make it too luxurious."
"Don't worry, I have confidence in my heart." Shen Yin said that he understood in his heart.
Grandma Wang said aside: "We'll talk about next year's affairs next year. Hurry up and make the dumplings. I'm a good fan."
Shen Yin went over and helped wrap the dumplings together.
Dango is a specialty of Yongshi and cannot be seen elsewhere.
Most of the things you see outside are glutinous rice balls.
In fact, dumplings are also a type of glutinous rice balls, which means reunion. However, dumplings are just a little pigtail on top of glutinous rice balls, which represents reunion on Jiaozi night and also represents the real New Year.
However, this custom is only remembered by the locals in Yongshi. If they come from outside, they usually follow the local customs and eat some glutinous rice balls.
Grandma Wang prepared white sugar, black sesame filling and white sugar lard filling.
Both of these use white sugar as an auxiliary ingredient, but the taste is completely different. The black sesame filling has a pure sesame flavor.
Sesame itself has an unforgettable aroma. Along with the white sugar, people who have eaten it feel as if they are immersed in a piece of sesame. That aroma makes people more appetizing.
The white sugar lard filling gives people an oily flavor, and the lard filling turns into lard when heated. After it is put into the mouth, it is wrapped with the aroma of glutinous rice, which makes people have endless aftertaste and eat the lard filling. It means that there will be oil to eat every day in the coming year, which is also a beautiful meaning.
Of course, for Shen Yin, it was actually just a taste.
Nowadays, the family's finances are also good, especially Shen Yin, who can be said to be the richest member of the Shen family.
She didn't even know how much savings she had from so many patent dividends.
"Hey, we came just in time to make dumplings." Shen Weiguo came in. Upon seeing this, he went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then came over to help.
Although Shen Weiguo is a big man, he is still good at wrapping dumplings.
Shen Yin looked at Shen Weiguo with raised eyebrows, and was a little surprised when he saw him quickly shape it into a small bowl, put the fillings in it, and then wrap it into dumplings: "I didn't expect that Dad, your craftsmanship is pretty good."
Shen Weiguo raised his eyebrows proudly: "That is, before I became a soldier, I would help you wrap dumplings every New Year. Later, I joined the team. When I couldn't go back during the holidays, I would also go to the cooking class to wrap dumplings. Bowl of dumplings, this is a characteristic of us Yongshi people, I can’t forget it.”
Shen Yin hummed, and then said: "Dumplings are indeed a good tradition. In fact, if you have time, you can open a dumpling shop and just sell our Yongshi dumplings. Look, now the imperial capital has Sichuan hot pot and Northeastern braised rice dumplings. Dishes can be found in all major cuisines from all over the world, but without our dumplings in Yongshi, they are not considered snacks."
Grandma Wang's eyes lit up after hearing this: "I'm just feeling bored. How about I open a dumpling shop in the new year?"
"Okay, grandma can have more fillings then. In addition to the sesame fillings, lard fillings, bean paste fillings, and brown sugar fillings that we eat every day, we can also change them according to the tastes of people here, such as meat fillings. Not bad, you can make some salty dumplings, but whether they taste good or not, you have to experiment first."
Grandma Wang immediately said: "No problem, I will adjust the stuffing then, and then you can help me taste it."
Shen Yin looked at Grandma Wang's energetic look and smiled and said, "But Grandma, you alone are not enough to open the store. You will need to hire people when the time comes."
"Your grandpa and I are free." Wang Lao said slowly from the side: "Now that I have retired, I have nothing to do anyway, so I just want to open a shop with your grandma for fun."
"It's okay to open a store, but remember, don't let yourself get tired. We don't expect to make money, we just want to have fun." Shen Yin reminded.
The family is not short of money now. Shen Yin suggested this mainly because Grandma Wang and Grandpa Shen were a little depressed because of Shen Tiegang's death. She probably felt that they were getting old too.
Shen Yin discovered this, so he wanted to find something for them to do.
Sometimes when you have too many things to do, you won’t think about all the messy things.
As soon as Grandma Wang heard that her brother was also interested, the two started discussing while wrapping dumplings, leaving Shen Yin and Shen Weiguo behind.
Shen Weiguo also understood what Shen Yin meant. In fact, he also saw that his father and mother felt a little melancholy because of Shen Tiegang's death. They were probably lamenting how fast the years passed.
It's just that his job requires him to spend more time taking care of everyone than taking care of the small family, so he can't be with his father and mother every day.
Coupled with the environment he was in, he couldn't say anything to comfort his parents.
Fortunately, Shen Yin was here now, so a few words seemed to make them feel a lot better.
Well, although they are older, as Shen Yin said, the family doesn't lack their money anyway, so it doesn't hurt to let them make trouble.
In fact, if you make too many dumplings by then, you will have to pack them yourself and take them to the canteen for other soldiers to eat.
Anyway, I still have money to buy dumplings.
At this time, Zhou Shengluo walked in. Seeing how busy the place was, he was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Wang and Grandma Wang are going to open a shop?"
"Yeah, what do you think about opening a Yongshi dumpling shop, Aluo?" Grandma Wang asked with a smile: "You are more experienced in business, so give me some experience."
Zhou Shengluo laughed and said: "No problem, there are many specialty stores in the imperial capital, but we don't see our Yongshi specialty spot. I think the business will not be bad, and since it is a specialty.
I think you should not stick to certain circumstances when running a business, if Grandma Wang trusts me.
I'll have your shop decorated with Yongshi characteristics, and then hire a professional manager to manage it.
Grandma Wang and Mr. Wang only need to study the recipes every day, such as which one is delicious, which one is more affordable, etc.
As for the specific production, please hire a few masters to produce it, and the management will be managed by specialized managers.
Of course, if the scale is large, it is not limited to Yongshi dumplings, but can also include Yongshi glutinous rice balls and Yongshi rice cakes to integrate into a Yongshi specialty restaurant. "
"It can still be like this." Grandma Wang suddenly realized it and was filled with emotion.
It seems that doing business is not easy. He was just doing something out of boredom, but when Zhou Shengluo said this, he found that there was a lot of knowledge in it.
