For sweetness, add a pinch of salt.

It is said that there is no one who does not understand this truth, but that means that this method is rarely used on the stove.

The sweet meat buns in the south will add some salt to them, but they are fundamentally different from the purple sweet potato and plum buns in front of you.

The problem with purple sweet potato plum buns is that the sweetness of purple potatoes is not easy to control, and the red bean paste will not taste enough if it is not sugared, and it will even be slightly bitter.

How many white case masters have a headache because of this, but they are always trapped in the 'Lushan' and twisting around, but they just can't get out!

Zhou Dong's whimsical idea is like a flying immortal out of the sky, using a principle that is generally known to chefs, but for the 'outdated thoughts' of the white case masters, it is a genius-like idea.

When diners eat the red bean paste in the center, if the chef's skills are lacking, the diners either feel that the red bean paste suddenly has no taste, or it suddenly becomes sweet, the former is dull and boring, and the latter will make people feel greasy.

Since it is difficult to grasp how much sugar is added to red bean paste, why put sugar?

Simply put some salt in the red bean paste, and when the diners eat the red bean paste, there is still the sweetness of purple potatoes in their mouths, and then they will feel the sweetness in their mouths when they are excited by a small amount of saltiness.

Because the red bean paste is originally borrowed from the sweetness of purple potatoes, it is equivalent to 'Liangyi Reverse Tai Chi', and it is naturally integrated, so naturally there is no need to worry about the problem of the monarch and the minister.

Why was Hu Dahai convinced? First, Zhou Dong could not only eat, but also be able to tell the root problem; second, people could not only say, but also come up with genius solutions.

Hu Dahai now has an irrepressible impulse, and wants to go back to the kitchen immediately to verify the genius idea of 'Master Xiao Zhou'; but he is a little reluctant to leave, and there are still two pastries that have not been commented on.

Shen Cheng glanced at Hu Dahai and felt that Lao Hu was a bit cheap.

After all, he has been on the chopping block for a long time, how can he understand the heart of Hu Dahai, a white case?

"Master Xiao Zhou, please continue to evaluate the remaining two pastries?"

Hu Dahai looked at Zhou Dong with glowing eyes, as if he had ordered a poor man to transfer and discover the treasure house of the Pirate King.

Zhou Dong nodded slightly after tasting the three-page cake: "The three-page cake is actually very similar to Chudu's steamed buns, they are all pasta dishes that need to be cooked with a pan." However, the threshold is much higher than that of steamed buns, and when you roll the dough, you need to stack three doughs on top of each other, coat them with raw soybean oil in the middle, and then roll them out into a thin three cakes. After cooking, pay attention to chopsticks to pick up three sheets, and you don't need to side dishes to know the fragrance of the noodles.

Of course, it's even better to have side dishes, and the toon sprouts, fried radish skin, green onion white, and this bowl of sauce that you have served with Chef Hu are very good. ”

Hu Dahai said with a blank eye: "Master Xiao Zhou, you haven't said anything wrong?"

"Okay, I'll just say a few words......"

Zhou Dong smiled slightly: "But before I make a judgment, can Master Hu tell me where you got this sauce?"

This miso should not be newly bought, let alone made by the kitchen itself. It's so cumbersome to make this stuff that no kitchen will make it yourself. ”

Hu Dahai was a little puzzled when he heard it: "Master Xiao Zhou, what do you mean?"

"Hehe, does Master Hu not know the preciousness of this sauce?

As the saying goes, the oil in the spring and the autumn is only in season; of course, the sauce is still old, and the so-called one year is still short, two years is not long, and three years and five years are good sauces.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, some eunuchs used the fire tanks in the palace to make sauce, and then 'forcibly sold' the sauce to some ministers. Later, at the beginning of the Republic of China, some soldiers found this kind of 'fireproof sauce' in the palace, and when they opened the tank, they saw that a layer of white hair had grown on the sauce, but when the white hair was removed, it was still fragrant and mellow!

These old sauces were later sold to pickle shops by the soldiers, and it is said that they are still sold at sky-high prices!"

Zhou Dong smiled and said: "Thank you so much, Master Hu, although your bowl of sauce is not as good as the legendary 'fireproof sauce', it has been at least more than ten years, and you are willing to use it to entertain me and Master Cheng?"

Originally, the master-level taste could not accurately determine the generation, for example, now let Zhou Dong drink red wine, if he did not practice and prepare in advance and be familiar with the taste and brand of red wine in each era, he would not be able to tell the year from generation to generation, and at most he would be able to drink the advantages and disadvantages of the upper and lower generations.

To accurately tell the vintage, that is only possible with a perfect tasting.

But this sauce is brewed with soybeans, and when Zhou Dong was eating three pages of cake, he quietly dipped his fingers in some sauce, and with his perfect-level vegetable washing skills, he could judge the year when the raw materials existed!

Although it is not as accurate as the perfect taste, it can probably be judged. Zhou Dong is sure that the bowl of sauce given by Hu Dahai is at least more than ten years!

Master Hu is a kind person......

Zhou Dong has been mixing food in Kyushu for a few days, of course, he knows that the sauce for more than ten years is a treasure, and it is rare for him to take it out to entertain himself.

Hu Dahai was stunned by what he said: "Master Xiao Zhou, are you sure this is more than ten years old sauce?"

How much difference can there be between top-quality ingredients and first-class ingredients? It's like the '82-year-old Lafite is better than the '83 half-world-old? That's nonsense, it's better, but it's not so exaggerated, and boasting about how good the '82-year-old Lafite is is either pretending to be or stupid.

The sauce is the same, the old sauce that is more than ten years old is good, and the three-year-old sauce used by Chef Lu on weekdays is actually very small, and Hu Dahai also needs to be very careful to be able to distinguish it.

Zhou Dong nodded: "I can't be mistaken." ”

"Oh my God! It's actually a ten-year-old sauce! The price of the fried noodles made by the ten-year-old sauce has to be increased tenfold! Oops, oops, ......."

Hu Dahai's face hurt: "You must know that this is a ten-year-old sauce, I ...... I don't have anything. ”

I almost said what was in my heart, but fortunately, I almost offended people.

Speaking of which, this sauce was given by a new apprentice he received when he was apprenticed, saying that it was an old sauce that had been hidden at home for many years. Hu Dahai is open-minded but not refined enough, so he doesn't take it seriously, just as an apprentice's heart, at most it's just five or six years of old sauce, and he doesn't take it as a rarity.

Today, I also heard that Shen Cheng and Zhou Dong are here, so I simply used this old sauce with three pages of cakes and fried noodles. He wants to know that this is more than ten years of old sauce, so he will not be willing to take it out, and it is better to leave it to those who are particularly particular about eating and willing to spend money?

Shen Cheng looked at Hu Dahai with disdain: "Master Xiao Zhou, look at this person, it still doesn't look like a word? I heard that it was a ten-year-old sauce, and my face hurt, what's the matter? I am poor with Master Xiao Zhou?"

Hehe, did you just want to say that if you had known that this was a ten-year-old sauce, you wouldn't have taken it out?

Hu Dahai said with a bitter face: "Chengtou, don't take advantage of it and sell it, okay?" Anyway, I don't care, Master Xiao Zhou, you have to tell me if there is anything wrong with these three pages of cakes and fried noodles, otherwise I won't follow it!"

Shen Cheng smiled: "Yo Yo Yo, you still don't follow, like a little daughter-in-law, are you ashamed?"

"Okay, Master Cheng, since Master Hu wants to hear it, then I'll talk about it again.

In fact, with such a good sauce, the three-page cake and this fried sauce noodle have been virtually raised to a higher level, but there are still problems, such as these three-page cakes......"

"Hey, Master Xiao Zhou, you say, I'll listen. ”

Hu Dahai hurriedly took a step forward, listened carefully to Zhou Dong's narration, and nodded again and again while listening.
