0165 Flour

After taking the water cup away, a few people helped lay out the tablecloth, and they all went to wash their hands and came back to get ready to do it.

Xu Yi was afraid that he wouldn't be able to roll the skin alone, so he found two rolling pins and took them out, and asked a few people: "Which of you can roll the skin?"

The fat man shrugged, "I don't know how to roll the skin, I'm only good at making dumplings." ”

Liu Liping said with a smile: "Fatty, do you know, in fact, what you are good at is not making dumplings, what you are best at is eating dumplings!"

"That's it. ”

"Wait a little longer, I see you've really lost a little weight in the past few days running, and you have to strengthen your nutrition." ”

"This ......" the fat man was speechless.

I have to say that the fat man has been running for the past few days, and he really exercises very seriously, at least now he can run four or five hundred meters at a time, which was unimaginable before, and he himself obviously feels that his belly does not seem to be as big as before, so he is still very confident in this weight loss cause.

The rest of the people also shook their heads, and Wang Siyu even said: "It's more convenient to buy dumpling skins, my family has always bought their own dumpling skins." ”

The fat man smiled and said: "Buying dumpling skin is naturally trouble-free, but the middle of the bought dumpling skin is as thick as the side, and the side is not too thick or the middle is too thin, the former is not delicious, the latter is easy to break, it is not as good as the taste of hand-rolled skin, and our people eat dumplings, in fact, the most important thing is to eat a lively meal, eat this bag of dumplings when the family is reunited, everything can be done by yourself, and it will never be with the help of external forces." ”

Wang Siyu nodded thoughtfully. "Oh, well, I can't see that you guys are very material. ”

Liu Liping listened to it and laughed: "We are fat, don't say anything else, when it comes to eating, we can't compare to him together." ”

Lang Wenjie looked up at the fat man, lowered her head and pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Xu Yi, give me a rolling pin, I will roll the skin, but it will not be fast." ”

"I'm not fast, let's roll the skin, it should be able to be supplied. Xu Yi smiled, handed a rolling pin to Lang Wenjie, took the dough noodles out of the basin himself, and kneaded them on the table.

Kneaded it for a while, and saw that the surface of the dough was smooth, Xu Yi flattened the dough a little and dug a hole in the middle to make the dough into a circle.

Pulling the dough ring apart again, Xu Yi pressed it on the table, straightened it with his hands, and rubbed it directly on the table to a suitable thickness.

Pinch the noodles in your left hand, and with your right hand, you can roll the noodles into a dough and sprinkle them on the table, so that others can press them into dough again.

Xu Yi took a dough cake from the table, reached out and pressed it again, then pinched one side of the dough cake with his right hand, and pushed the rolling pin with the other hand one after the other, and the dough naturally rotated in his hand, and soon became a dumpling wrapper, flying directly out of Xu Yi's hand and landing on the table.

Hu Yifei said with a smile: "Third child, you are too modest, aren't you?"

However, Xu Yi is shun here, it doesn't mean that Lang Wenjie is also smooth there, she rolled it out a few times, then threw out a very thick dough cake, put down the rolling pin, and said with a red face: "Your side is too hard, I can't roll it!"

Hearing Lang Wenjie say this, Hu Yifei was curious, how hard this was, "I'll try." He took the rolling pin from Lang Wenjie's hand, and then took the dough cake and rolled it out in front of him.

However, Hu Yifei obviously doesn't know how to roll the skin, so he pressed his two hands on the two ends of the rolling pin and pressed it over, and it took a while to reluctantly finish rolling the skin, and then said with a smile: "This is really too hard, you can roll the skin yourself, hehe, you can roll it out with such a hard leather." ”

The fat man stood up, opened the lid on the basin, poked the dough with his fingers, and turned his head to look at Xu Yi: "Third child, don't roll it, this dumpling skin is really not good, the noodles are too hard and it won't taste good when it is wrapped, such a hard noodle rolling noodles is good, this pasta pays attention to a 'soft dumpling hard noodle soup', the skin of the dumplings must be soft and smooth, and it can be broken with a little bite in the mouth so that it is delicious, by the way, the third child, do you add cold water or warm water?"

Xu Yi really didn't know what to say, and replied: "Add cold water." ”

The fat man stretched out his hand and picked up the dough and rolled dumpling wrappers on the table, threw them into the basin, and said, "Hehe, this should be warmed, but you have added all the water, so be it, add more water." The third child comes with me, you can rest for a while, and it'll be fine for a while. ”

Xu Yi followed the fat man into the kitchen, watched him take the basin and sprinkle it with warm water on the dough, and then said to himself: "The third child, this water is almost over, you come and make peace, I don't have so much strength, look at this, you also bought the wrong noodles, you must have bought high-gluten noodles, right?"

Xu Yi took the basin and rubbed it on the table, and said, "Yes, isn't this high-gluten powder tendon?"

"Hehe, gluten is egg white after all, cross-linked after absorbing water, if there is more gluten, the noodles will not be soft, dumplings can not use high-gluten powder, this kind of noodles are most suitable for making noodles, steamed steamed buns or something. Wait for the next time to make dumplings, you buy noodles again, you can keep this noodles yourself, unless you want to make frozen dumplings, this high-gluten flour, the skin is not so easy to freeze and crack. ”

Xu Yi nodded in agreement, rubbed the noodles in the basin carefully with both hands, and asked, "Do you want to knead this feeling too?"

"The ratio of water is about the same, but you'll know next time, it's actually much softer than that. Seeing Xu Yi nodding, the fat man continued: "In fact, the rich and strong noodles on the market are the most common dumpling noodles, and many people see the word rich and strong in the name of this noodle, and they mistakenly think that this thing is high-gluten noodles, in fact, this is a big misunderstanding, I guess you think so too, right?"

Xu Yi was curious, "Yes, isn't that the case, this gluten is only strong when there is more." ”

The fat man smiled, "Actually, this Fuqiang powder is also called wheat refined powder, this thing is made from wheat in the center of wheat seeds, if you have a pound of wheat, there will be seven and a half of Fuqiang powder at most, do you think this Fuqiang powder is high-end enough?"

Xu Yi nodded, "It must be high-end, it must be very white, I remember that wheat seems to be able to produce more than nine taels of flour, right?"

The fat man was a little surprised, he knew these things because he liked to eat and really studied cooking, but although Xu Yi was not a nerd, he was not so interested in this Cheng dΓΉ, and he even knew all this. "That's good, you still know this?"

Xu Yi hammered the fat man, and said with a smile, "Of course, you think you know, hehe, I guess you haven't seen how these things are grinded, and you haven't seen the real thing." ”

The fat man laughed: "Speak like you've seen it." ”

"Isn't this nonsense, forget where my family is? Let's say it's also a rural child. Although we are not the main wheat producing area in the Central Plains, there were a lot of this kind of wheat in the early years, even if my family has never planted wheat, but this has always seen how people grind flour. ”

In the early years, basically any township in the countryside, and even the larger villages had their own rice mills, in which various machines were used to process corn. Wheat or rice, just like corn, is first put into the machine to grind off the outside corn husk and germ, and then use different files of the machine to process corn ballast of different sizes, and even corn flour, this processing corn flour machine is also a processing white flour machine, generally, in order to avoid the processed corn flour and white flour mixed together, this rice mill is to process white flour at intervals, and then process cornmeal at intervals, and the filtered dough sieves in the machine have to be replaced with different mesh sieves with the processing of white flour and cornmeal, if the white flour is processed, use a fine sieve to process cornmealand replace it with a coarse sieve.

However, in recent years, the rise in electricity prices, coupled with the changes in the planting structure in the countryside, has led to the closure of a large number of small rice mills due to low efficiency, coupled with the villagers' arrears of rice milling fees.

At the beginning, the owner had to do before the Spring Festival every year, holding the account book, door-to-door to collect money, but there are always some owes but rely on the owner who does not give money, the machine qì wear and tear fees, electricity bills or something are borne by the owner himself, but the customer refuses to pay, always think that he owes so dozens of hundreds of dollars at all, and do not want to think about this grinding rice and flour are to make some hard money, you are in arrears not to give, and even a few years of accounts are not settled, people have this money in it, where to make money? After a long time, no one is willing to open this rice mill anymore.

Of course, Xu Yi Village is okay, the rice mill in the township is still there, but they only have rice processing business there, and nothing else is processed, if you want to eat cornmeal, you can either use a stone mill to process it yourself, or, you can only sell corn and buy it.

"Hehe, do you remember that when they grind flour, they always like to pinch a piece of flour in front of them through a fine sieve when grinding flour, and then pack them separately and keep them for dumplings?"

Xu Yi listened, and then nodded, "Hey, if you say that, it seems that there is such a thing! The yield of wheat is not high, only one acre of land can produce three or four hundred catties, even if it is very good land, one acre of land will not exceed seven or eight hundred catties, spring planting and autumn harvest, of course, I will not waste it when I am busy, and finally I will pour the wheat bran that is separated separately back into the machine and grind it again, at that time, the flour that came out at that time was some crushed wheat bran in it, and there were a lot of black spots in this side." ”

"Yes, in fact, wheat has a characteristic, the closer the same variety of wheat is to the center of the seed, the lower the protein content, the whiter the surface, and the less other nutrients, but there is no more nutritious starch, so the flour that is set aside alone is actually equivalent to Fuqiang flour, you can imagine, this Fuqiang flour is actually not high in nutrition at all, right?"

Xu Yi also nodded, "In this way, this is really not high." ”
