Simple and simple, this Mid-Autumn Festival allows you to taste the old taste of Huizhou in your memory!
There is always a taste, in its special way, reminding us on the tip of the tongue: recognize the whereabouts of the clear sky and do not forget the place of yesterday.
Especially in the Mid-Autumn Festival of family reunion, this feeling is more obvious.
At this time in my childhood memory, the sweet aroma of mooncakes in the neighborhoods and alleys, mixed with the sound of warm fireworks, from far and near, haunting the ears, like an old song.
At that time, the mooncakes were not gorgeous at all, and the taste and packaging were:
Simple and simple sweet, wrapped in a layer of oil paper, the penetrating sesame oil soaked with oil paper, the oil shines.
As soon as I opened the oil paper, I saw that the golden mooncake skin was thin and soft, and the fragrance was overflowing.
The outer skin is brown and crispy, like the moon table, hence the name "crisp moon".
It has no pattern, the plain surface is round, the whole body is flat and warm golden, and the edges are slightly scorched black, just like the natural texture of the moon's surface.
One bite down, the feeling of "small cakes like chewing moon, there are crisp and delicious" comes out of nowhere, and the sweetness almost fills the entire childhood.
The crispy crust, wrapped in sesame seeds, kumquats, nuts, the rich aroma of sesame seeds, the freshness of kumquats, the crispness of the nuts, the wonderful taste of chewing, just make you unforgettable.
Not greasy, not too sweet, is the taste of ancient Huizhou memory, making people feel more intimate and warm as ever.
In Wuyuan, Huizhou, there is a traditional Mid-Autumn Festival taste, from the "Huipai Crisp Moon".
As an old-fashioned pastry representing huizhou characteristics, from the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, it still maintains an ancient production process, and even in the surrounding areas, it is rare.
Among them, it was Master Zheyuancha who did it:
He insists on baking over a raw charcoal fire, handmade: flour and sugar kneaded vigorously, wrapped in plump sesame kumquat nuts, full of aroma, sweet and soft sticky without choking.
Sweet on the outside and sweet on the inside, it is a delicious and authentic delicacy that locals and diners around will never forget.
The good taste comes from the selection of authentic ingredients and homemade fresh fillings.
Black sesame seeds, osmanthus flowers, sugar, sesame oil, nuts into the filling, after charcoal roasting, the outside is crispy and sweet, soft and delicious, the sweetness is just right.
Master Cha learned to make mooncakes in his teens, and has been making mooncakes for more than 40 years, and the crisp moon he makes is authentic and delicious, crisp and refreshing without sticky teeth. Mooncakes are not only sold to locals, but also customers from nearby counties and cities, and hundreds of pounds a day are not enough to sell.
Filling + crust: black filling, sallow yellow skin
The black sesame seeds in the filling must be newly harvested in the same year, and fried at the right time to burst into a mellow flavor. The heat is not enough, the aroma is insufficient, and after frying, there will be a bitter taste;
The sautéed sesame seeds are crushed with a small amount of granulated sugar, then garnished with osmanthus flowers, kumquats, and peanut kernels.
The kneaded noodles are wrapped in a rich filling, and then pressed into a cake shape with a mold, one by one round and flat.
The golden yellow skin is the result of a fresh and healthy vegetable oil: traditional rapeseed oil, or sesame oil, or even more precious wild camellia oil, is rich and fragrant, with a long taste.
Baked by fire, ancient taste: up the knife mountain, down the fire sea
In order to ensure the original taste, Master Cha still insists on baking with a traditional fire, and has set up a special stove to bake mooncakes, only using hard charcoal fire, not smoking, afraid of affecting the taste;
The finished crisp moon is baked in the pot over a low heat, and someone takes care of it at all times, carefully controlling the charcoal fire. The fire is too scorched, the fire is too small and cooked, and only patience will make the mooncake just right.
As the temperature gradually increases, the skin of the mooncake changes from jade white to golden yellow, and the crisp fragrance fills the house, and it is sweet and soft
There are no alternative additions and techniques, some are just sincere hearts, honest raw materials, skillful memory experience, and the intention of the Taoist process, and every link is an ancient continuation.
Simple and unpretentious, inheriting ingenuity, a small piece of mooncake carries an indescribable sincerity.
Reunion Mid-Autumn Festival, cooking smoke, layers of thin puff pastry wrapped in soft inner filling golden and bright, staggered with a round "crisp moon".
Compared to other price-filled, pompously packaged gift mooncakes, it may be slightly plain -
Wrapped in yellowed oil paper, the slightly leached oil stains are the embodiment of time, and they are still familiar for many years.
Eight pieces a whole package, packed in an environmentally friendly ancient paper box, two boxes and a bag.
The "hand-bagged" gift box looks like a sense of elegance in the poetry of the moon.
