(Flowing heart) should be controlled well, because if it is too thick, it will not flow, but if it is too thin, everything (go down) will flow, leaving only one hole.
It must flow out slowly to be the best to achieve this effect.
[Explanation] Speaking of the craftsmanship of Liuxin Custard Mooncakes, Hong Kong dim sum chef Ye Yonghua is proud.
More than 30 years ago, the Jialin Tower of The Peninsula Hotel just started its trial operation. Inspired by the filling of the custard bun and the butter crust of the egg tart, Master Ye made the first custard moon cake, which was quickly received by diners.
To this day, custard mooncakes are still the hottest "net celebrities" of various dim sum brands. The improved custard filling has become "flowing". For a small piece of mooncake, Master Ye feels that it can be made very particular. .

Because the fragrance of (moon cakes) comes from butter, (the key to making custard moon cakes) is butter, and this material.
If the ingredients you use are not good, the custard will not smell good.
In addition, the amount of filling and crust for baking and buns is very important, because if there is too much filling, the (crust) will be too thin, (moon cake) will break, (the filling and crust) should be moderate, and the crust will be thick and not tasty. Is it?
[Explanation] After the Mid-Autumn Festival, eat moon cakes. The "Huangyue Cake Art" currently employed by Master Ye focuses on making Chinese dim sum. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Yan Yunbo, Chairman and CEO of Huangyue Group, is a bit worried.
Affected by the social turmoil in 2019, the number of people going out for shopping decreased, and the sales of mooncakes were flat. Now that there is an epidemic, Yan Yunbo is very worried about this year's sales.
But I never thought that the sales of moon cakes this year were unexpectedly good, and the sales were about four times that of last year.

Social calm is the most important condition for our business. I am not afraid of economic downturn when I do business. There is no problem with the economy being high or low. The important thing is that the society should be peaceful and let everyone concentrate (energy) on doing business. Hong Kong’s national security law should be the best gift for us businessmen.
[Explanation] Under the influence of the social environment and the epidemic, Hong Kong's retail industry fell into the Great Depression, but Huang Yue bucked the market this year and opened eight stores.
Yan Yunbo said that many of the company’s dim sum chefs are retirees. In case they lose their jobs, one of their crafts may be broken, and they want to "give it a go" to keep their employees' jobs.

[Explanation] Looking forward to the future, Yan Yunbo is more and more confident in the Hong Kong market. He also hopes that Huangyue can continue to explore overseas markets in the future, and with this Chinese delicacy, promote Chinese culture to the world.
