Chapter 122: The Path of Teaching
Chen Han looked at Wei Yingchuang, who had a big waist and a round waist, and asked, "Do you remember what I said just now?"
"Hmm......" Wei Yingchuang patted his chest.
"Then you say. ”
"Add the noodles, add the water, add the eggs. Kneading it...... Rub it...... Hit...... That's it. ”
"Finished?"
"That's right. ”
"What about metering?"
"There is more noodles and more water, and fewer eggs. I drank egg drop soup outside, and there weren't many eggs. Wei Yingchuang smirked and waited for Chen Han to praise him.
"The egg drop soup is big, and the egg drop soup is also available. The corners of Chen Han's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's to add more eggs and less water!"
"Doesn't that lose money?"
"you!"
Chen Han took out a pen and paper, wrote down the ratio of water, noodles, and eggs and pasted it on the refrigerator: "If you can't remember, just look at this." ”
"Hey, okay. ”
Chen Han went downstairs to drink saliva and saw Han Muxue tidying up the dining table.
"Brother Xiao Chen, why do you look tired?" Seeing Chen Han coming down, Han Muxue walked over and asked with concern.
"It's okay, after teaching Wei Da all morning, he hasn't learned much!" Chen Han was a little tired.
This guy has brute strength, but he doesn't know how to use it.
I've told him several times, but I still can't remember a lot of things. Cooking is such a thing, the slightest difference, a thousand miles wrong, sloppy.
Han Muxue thought that Wei Yingchuang was not good at studying, so she said: "This Wei is big, is he not attentive!"
"No, no. ”
Chen Han said helplessly: "He studied very hard! Very hard! The basin board is not enough for him to toss." When I said it, I was listening seriously, but ...... He's missing a little bit of talent!"
"Uh......" Han Muxue paused and said: "This can only rely on practice to train him, let him do more, and do more to ......"
Before Han Muxue's words fell, she only heard a loud noise from upstairs.
The two glanced at each other and immediately rushed forward.
Du Yinnong and Li Yangping also came up later, only to see the cutting board split in two and fall to the ground, and there was a ball of slimy dough next to it.
Li Yangping nodded, raised his hand and gave Wei Yingchuang a thumbs up.
Seeing that there was nothing serious, the others left the kitchen separately, Chen Han squatted down and kneaded the dough, and said, "There is still too much water." ”
Wei Yingchuang hurriedly cleaned up all the things on the ground: "Boss, I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay!" Chen Han said: "You use too much force, in this case, how many cutting boards in our store are not enough, you have to collect some strength." ”
"I, I know, but sometimes I can't help it!" Chen Han looked at him and said, "It's not okay to be like this. ”
Chen Han knew that Wei Yingchuang was clumsy, but studious, so he said: "Don't worry, I see, if you go on like this, you can't do it, go, follow me to buy something." ”
After Chen Han finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen, and Wei Yingchuang hurriedly followed.
Wei Yingchuang originally thought that Chen Han was going to buy kitchen utensils, but he didn't expect to take him to the place where wood raw materials were sold.
"What is the boss doing here? If you have a cutting board, you can have a supermarket, right?"
"I'm not going to buy a cutting board, I still have it at home. Chen Han paused and continued: "Let's come here to buy a bamboo!"
Wei Yingchuang knew that Chen Han would not buy useless things, so he didn't ask any more.
The people at the timber mill were very enthusiastic to help Chen Han pick three good bamboo poles, which were different from the thin ones, which were the thickness of an adult man's thighs.
Chen Han found another craftsman, processed the three bamboo poles very cleanly, adjusted the length, and embedded one of them on the top of the kitchen wall, and the other two for backup!
Below the bamboo pole is the operating table, because I was afraid that Wei Yingchuang would damage the cutting board again, so I directly used the stainless steel operating table.
Wei Yingchuang asked puzzledly, "Boss, what is this for?"
"There is a type of noodle called Takesheng noodles. Chen Han paused and continued: "This kind of noodles is the most suitable for you to make, of course, we just use Zhusheng noodles to make noodles, and then I have my own recipe for the soup base of the noodles." ”
As he spoke, Chen Han demonstrated it to Wei Yingchuang.
Before making it, Chen Han washed his hands first, and said while washing: "No matter what food you make, you must wash your hands before making it." ”
"Good!"
He took out all-purpose flour and said, "You can't use low or high glutens. ”
Wei Yingchuang nodded.
Chen Han continued to do it, he added some salt to the flour and took out an egg from the cupboard.
When Wei Yingchuang saw the egg, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Boss, did you take the wrong one, the egg is next to it." ”
"No, you just want to use duck eggs!" Chen Han continued: "Duck eggs are made to make that kind of pale yellow noodles, and it is also okay to add food coloring, although it is harmless to the body, but the noodles are not fragrant." ”
Wei Yingchuang nodded clearly.
"If you want to make good noodles, you need to know how to choose the raw materials. ”
Chen Han put down the flour in his hand and continued: "Flour is the flour made from wheat, which is mainly divided into high-gluten flour, all-purpose flour and low-gluten flour. ”
"High-gluten flour is mainly used to make pastries, puff pastry, shortbread and the like, low-gluten flour is mainly used to make cakes, biscuits, as for pasta, then you must use all-purpose flour, what steamed buns, flower rolls, noodles, all are all-purpose flour. ”
After speaking, Chen Han continued to add duck eggs, and then began to knead the dough, he used moderate strength, and kneaded the dough into dough after a while.
Chen Han looked at Wei Yingchuang and said, "Come and try it, feel it." ”
Wei Yingchuang stretched out his hand and prepared to knead the dough
Chen Han stopped him and said, "Didn't I say it just now? Before making food, you must wash your hands first." ”
"Boss, I'm sorry, I forgot. Wei Yingchuang turned around and went to wash his hands again.
After washing your hands, come over and knead the dough again.
Chen Han helplessly blocked him again and said, "Dry your hands, otherwise this noodle will be stained with water, and it won't taste good." ”
"Boss, you see I'm so stupid, can I really learn?"
"Don't you believe my vision? You're just not careful enough, just be careful. ”
Wei Yingchuang wiped his hands clean and began to knead the dough, the moderate tenacity of the dough made him feel amazing, sometimes if the force was too much, Chen Han would remind him, and if the force was too small, Chen Han would also tell him.
Chen Han knew that he sometimes couldn't use his strength, so he said, "Okay, the next process is when you can use your strength." ”
As he spoke, Chen Han cut the dough into several equal portions, and each equal part was rolled into a thin oblong shape with a rolling pin, and a large amount of flour was sprinkled on each oval.
"Do you know why it's sprinkled with flour?" Chen Han asked, looking at Wei Yingchuang.
"I don't know. ”
"To make this a thinner dough, you have to thin these oval-shaped dough cakes with bamboo poles, and in the process, you have to put a lot of flour on the dough to prevent it from sticking together. ”
"Understood. ”
Chen Han put a stack of dough in place.
Then he lifted one leg, put it on the bamboo pole, and the other foot touched the ground, and jumped up one by one.
The bamboo pole pressed the dough on the operating table at once, and only the dough was pressed very tightly and very thin.
Wei Yingchuang was a little happy, he could do such a thing.
Chen Han saw that he was eager to try, so he got down from the bamboo pole and replaced Wei Ying.
Wei Yingchuang started cautiously, and after Chen Han encouraged him, he let go, and he tried harder.
Chen Han asked him to adjust the position appropriately, so that the whole dough could be pressed.
Wei Yingchuang did it really well, Chen Han was glad that he had found the right way, and thought about going downstairs to rest and let Wei Yingchuang practice here.
He was just about to leave when he heard a strange sound, it was the sound of bamboo breaking.
Chen Han turned his head, and sure enough, Wei Yingchuang had too much strength, and directly crushed the dough, and the bamboo pole stuck on the operating table and broke directly.
"Old, boss......" Wei Yingchuang looked at Chen Han as if he had done something wrong.
Chen Han comforted: "It's okay, didn't I buy three? ”
With this lesson, Wei Yingchuang didn't dare to make any more efforts.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of Chen Han, he just felt that Chen Han had taken him in the Bright Candle Hut, and he had also taught him the technique of making noodles, saying that he couldn't do anything wrong again.
Although I think so, in reality, it is still full of mistakes.
In the next few days, Chen Han has been guiding Wei Yingchuang, although they are all some minor mistakes, but they have not been corrected, either forgetting to wash their hands, or making the vicinity of the operating table dirty.
However, Chen Han also saw that Wei Yingchuang had been working hard, so he didn't urge him, and usually let Wei Yingchuang practice on it, and Chen Han made today's eggplant sticks, giving him some pointers from time to time.
A week later, Wei Yingchuang had made significant progress.
Chen Han decided to take the next step and teach Wei Ying the knife technique.
Chen Han looked at the thin dough that had been pressed and was very satisfied, sure enough, this method was very suitable for Wei Yingchuang.
"Well done!"
Facing Chen Han's praise, Wei Yingchuang was a little embarrassed.
Although cutting noodles is not the most important process, it is also a very important process, and it must be cut evenly, not coarse, but fine, so that the time for cooking noodles is not easy to control. ”
Wei Yingchuang nodded and said, "And it doesn't look good, does it?"
"Yes, when customers face food, their first impression is not the taste of the thing, but the most intuitive feeling, that is, the appearance. ”
Chen Han continued to take out a long strip of small bamboo from the cabinet and said, "Use this press to cut, no matter the thickness, you can cut whatever you want, as long as each one is the same." ”
Knife skills can't be practiced overnight, but Chen Han is not afraid, if you don't cut it well, just slow down, let Wei Yingchuang cut it slowly, anyway, cut it in advance, and when it is open, just use it directly.
Next is the most important part of the noodles, the soup base.
Wei Yingchuang watched Chen Han close the kitchen door, and asked puzzledly, "What is the boss doing when the door is closed?"
"The recipe for the soup base is the most secret thing in a restaurant, and the so-called trade secret is just that. Chen Han paused and said, "Do you know what trade secrets mean?"
"It's not very clear. Wei Yingchuang scratched his head.
Chen Han said: "It's just ......" He was about to explain, but he was afraid that he wouldn't understand it after he finished explaining.
decided to explain it in a different way: "It's this recipe that God knows, you know and I know, and you must not let a third person know, understand?"
"Understood!" Wei Yingchuang said: "Boss, don't worry, I will never tell anyone else." ”
Chen Han was just about to continue, but the kitchen door was pushed open by Han Muxue: "Brother Xiao Chen, it's not good, a group of people are coming below!"
