Chapter 77: Developing new products
So, he brought a syringe, and when the egg was fried to yellow on both sides, he used the syringe to inject wine into the egg, and to fry the needle hole.
In Cao Lei's hope, this egg is cooked and out of the pot.
Cao Lei couldn't wait to take a bite.
The yolk of the egg flowed out, and the taste was better than the one just now, but it did not reflect the heart of the wine, and people could smell the wine when they ate the egg, but it did not have the shape of the wine. Who's to say it's a drunken egg?
Crucially, the wine evaporates quickly at high temperatures, so there is no heart.
Cao Lei ate the egg and thought about it again, and suddenly, he thought of something - soup dumplings in Shanghai.
By the way, doesn't soup dumplings keep the soup inside the buns?
Cao Lei recalled the trick of soup dumplings, that is, after freezing the skin jelly, the skin of the bun was wrapped in the frozen skin jelly, and after the high temperature, the skin jelly melted, forming a soup in the bun.
Yes, that's how it works!
Cao Lei put the whiskey into a few small cups of one dollar and put it in the refrigerator.
This refrigerator is an ice set provided by the system, a very high-end kind, and in one minute, the whiskey is frozen into ice.
Cao Lei poured the iced whiskey out of the glass and began to fry the eggs.
As he fried the outside of the egg, he broke open the shell and put whiskey ice cubes into the yolk. After that, with the prepared egg whites, apply to the cracks.
Immediately, the torn egg closed again, and from the outside, there was no trace to be seen, and no one knew that the egg had been operated on.
When the egg was cooked, Cao Lei confidently took a bite of the omelette with the aroma of wine.
In the egg, where the bite was broken, a little liquid flowed out and entered Cao Lei's mouth, which was the heart of wine, but very little.
"Success has taken a step forward, but it still does not meet the desired requirements. ”
Cao Lei thought about it for a few more minutes, but he still couldn't think of a good way. In the end, he had to ask the system: "System, can you help me?"
"Your idea is right, but wine is liquid, it evaporates at high temperatures, and when it encounters egg yolk, it will attract liquid by egg yolk, so there is very little wine heart." ”
The system introduced Cao Lei to the production method of wine chocolate.
The production of liquor chocolate is mainly based on the crystallization principle of the sugar-wine mixture in a supersaturated state, so that the surface of the sugar grains forms a layer of hard sugar shell, which naturally becomes the protective layer of the slurry, and then coats it with a chocolate coat around it. This not only gives the chocolate its solid form, but also extends its shelf life and makes it easy to transport and store.
Cao Lei suddenly became cheerful, because of the crystallization, the chocolate formed a sugar shell on the surface, preventing the overflow of the liquor and the absorption of the liquor by the chocolate.
Well, fried eggs are also such a principle to solve this problem.
However, it is impossible to prevent the egg skin and yolk from absorbing the liquor.
The soup dumpling is because, after the skin freezes and thaws, it forms a skin porridge shape, which is not easy to be volatilized in a short time, but in fact, the skin porridge liquid is still absorbed by about one-third of the skin of the bun.
Wine, on the other hand, is a pure liquid, which evaporates ten times faster than porridge.
It is impossible to make a wine heart like making chocolate, there is too much sugar, it does not match the egg, and it does not reflect the king's minister. The egg is the main body, it is Jun.
Cao Lei knew that with his ability, he couldn't solve this problem.
"System, at this point, there's nothing I can do. Cao Lei sighed.
System: "Do you know about edible films?"
Cao Lei's eyes lit up, this thing was not unusual for Cao Lei, who had crossed over from the earth.
In 2020, the Institute of Agricultural Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences combined the dehydration of various vegetables and fruits with nanomaterials to make edible films.
The material has physical properties close to those of conventional plastics and can be used in food packaging. It can be used as a package to protect the items being packaged.
Moreover, it is also edible. What's more, it's not only edible, but it's also nutritious, full of colour and flavour – during the production process, the raw materials are frozen and dehydrated using a special method, so that the nutrients, taste and colour are preserved.
However, the material has a disadvantage that outweighs its benefits – it is easily soluble in water, which limits its application.
"It melts easily into water. Cao Lei pointed out.
System: "On its exterior, apply a layer of edible glue to solve this problem. ”
Cao Lei: "Can you provide me with it?"
System: "Of course! Your task is to develop a new product, and the materials to make the new product can be provided by the system." ”
"Yay!" Cao Lei stretched out his hand and punched the roof.
In the next second, Cao Lei saw frozen whiskey in the refrigerator, as well as edible film. And the eggs.
The system told Cao Lei that the egg was a Qichun egg at an altitude of 800 meters. On the Qichun Xianren Terrace, there is a small village, and the chickens raised by the villagers are free-range. During the day, people release the chickens and let them go to the mountains to forage for food, insects, grasses, flowers, fruits, as long as they can be eaten, are the food rations of the chickens. Therefore, the chickens here have a physique that is several times stronger than the chickens outside. The nutrition is also several times stronger than those chickens.
"Cao Lei, what are you doing in the kitchen alone? It's been an hour. There was a voice outside, it was Miss Kong Er shouting.
Cao Lei then remembered that Miss Kong Er was still waiting to eat a new dish.
"Give me ten minutes. Cao Lei stretched out his head and said outside.
Soon with all the materials, Cao Lei began to make it.
The first fried egg, Cao Lei ate it, and felt twice as much wine as before. And the wine tastes pure. Because the wine is wrapped in the edible film, only when Cao Lei's teeth bite through the edible film, the wine will flow out.
Cao Lei made three in a row and ate three until he completely mastered the method, then he happily made three omelettes and took them out.
Miss Kong Er was originally very happy, but when she took the plate, she was immediately disappointed: "How is it an omelette? Cao Lei, didn't you say that it was a new product? This fried egg would have been made hundreds of years ago." You're lying to me. ”
At this time, it was already half past four in the afternoon, and Li Fei'er and others also came.
"Second Miss, is the captain doing his old job again?" asked Yang Mei.
Miss Kong Er said: "Cao Lei said to make me a new product, and the result was fried eggs. ”
Wang Nan said: "The captain is not deceiving, he said that it is a new product, then it can't be wrong." Otherwise, I'll help you try it and see if it's a new dish. ”
However, Miss Kong Er disagreed: "Okay, I'll be the first to try the new product! Can't be good for you, I'll eat first, if you lie to me, see how I clean him up." ”
After saying that, Miss Kong Er angrily bit into the fried egg.
This bite immediately bit through the omelette shell and also bit through the edible film. Immediately, a smell of wine with sweetness rushed to everyone's noses.
