Chapter 30: The threshold for the dark culinary world is really high
Pastry master Gang Stick Xie summed up the difference between dumplings, steamed buns, siu mai and wontons in one sentence, in fact, the process of several pastries is almost the same, the difference lies in the inverted crust. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The thickness of the dumpling wrapper is just in the middle, it does not need to be as thin as the wonton wrapper to be transparent, nor does it need to be as thick as the bun wrapper, how to roll out the thickness between the thick and thin requires the skill of the chef.
The fact that the dumpling brothers dare to use dumplings as a name can fully explain their deep understanding of dumplings.
Xiang En's understanding and mastery of pastry, Shao An is not clear, everything has to be understood from her production process.
Xiang En poured a certain amount of dry flour on the stovetop, and then she poured the right amount of water into the dry flour, which is the first step in making raw dough and the foundation that every chef must master.
The first step is almost impossible for a chef to know, but the difficult part is the kneading stage, which seems to have no technical content but is the key to determining the quality of the dumpling skin.
Xiang En rolled up his sleeves and showed his white and tender arms, and gently pressed his hands towards the water-filled dry flour on the stove, his palms secretly exerted force, his wrists shook flexibly, and ten slender fingers shuttled in the raw flour that gradually sticked.
Shao An carefully observed Xiang En's action of kneading the dough, and instinctively told him that Xiang En's technique at this time was definitely not simple, and it was likely to be a high-level technique that had been passed down from the dark culinary world.
Just as Shao'an was concentrating on observing Xiang En's technique, the hint that had been silent for a long time reappeared.
Learn the intermediate skill of senior chef Xiang En, 'cloud kneading', which is suitable for making pastries, with a completion degree of 10%.
"Xiang En is actually already a senior chef, and he has just stepped into the sequence of intermediate chefs, is there really such a big gap?" Shao An thought in amazement, as for the information that prompted him to learn the intermediate skill 'Cloud Kneading', he selectively ignored it.
"Shao'an, what are you doing in a daze! The big man on the other side has already started to process the ingredients and prepare to make dumpling filling. Xiang En reminded Shao'an.
Shaoan came to his senses at this time, and he threw his surprise and frustration out of his mind and began to finish his work.
====================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================
Shao'an, who was holding the kitchen knife in his hand, instantly entered the state, and learned that Xiang En, who was one year younger than himself, was already a senior chef, and was stimulated by Xiang En, Shao'an's performance was much stronger than usual, Shao'an's solid knife skills were shown for the first time in people's eyes.
"You see that boy's knife work is really good, and the connection between every knife and knife is pleasing to the eye! Sure enough, those who dare to go to the ring to challenge the role of the dumpling brothers are capable. ”
"That boy's knife skills are indeed very good, but what is the use, the content of the competition is dumplings! The knife skills are really of little help in making dumplings, you are looking at the girl who kneaded the dough, what good dough can be made with her soft technique, they are still not as good as the dumpling brothers." ”
Brother Dumpling is not as easy as the crowd under the ring thinks, he is facing huge pressure at this time, the person who puts pressure on him is Xiang En, who is not favored by everyone, Brother Dumpling just took the time to describe Xiang En who was kneading the dough, and he was surprised to find that Xiang En's technique was actually more clever than his technique.
The girl's seemingly soft and forceless kneading and pressing contained subtleties that were imperceptible, and the fact that Brother Dumpling could detect was enough to surprise him.
Xiang En is using the technique of rotation to make up for the lack of his own strength, the rotation of the fingers, the rotation of the wrist, the rotation of the arm to achieve synchronization, the power of rotation penetrates into the dough, so that the flour and water are perfectly combined.
"Xiang En, your technique is really distinctive, the teacher who taught you this must be a super powerful pastry chef. Shao An finished processing the ingredients and asked.
"I know you're going to ask this, it's a technique taught to me by a living old youkai, and I hate to admit it, but I don't think there's anything that can surpass him in terms of pastry. Xiang En didn't mention the name of the old monster she was talking about.
Xiang En's answer would have been thought by others when they heard it, because Xiang En didn't want to reveal his master and wouldn't think about other aspects, but unfortunately the Shao'an she faced was a person who understood.
After Shao An heard the information revealed in Xiang En's answer, he was sure of a lot of things at once, and through these things, he finally knew that Xiang En in front of him had joined the dark cuisine world.
The organization of the dark cuisine world, Shao An has no good feelings and no evil thoughts about it, at least not like the rest of the famous and orthodox chefs who regard the dark cuisine world as their lifelong enemy.
"Xiang En, I think we can talk about the dark culinary world after we understand this ring duel, and it just so happens that I'm also interested in it. Shao An suddenly said something that caught Xiang En off guard.
Shao An didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words, if the dark cooking world wouldn't use drugs to control themselves, then it would be a good place to go.
Xiang En's face turned cold all of a sudden, and she glanced at Shao An deeply.
"No matter where you found out who I am, if you dare to leak it, I guarantee you'll die an ugly death. Xiang En directly threatened.
"Well, I'm not going to be bored! But maybe I'll have the idea of joining in the future, how should I join in when the time comes? Will I contact you? Will you be my recommender?" said Shao An with a smile.
"Fool like you, do what you do, boring fellow! Xiang En said.
"It turns out that the threshold for the dark cuisine world is so high, I thought it would be easy to join. Shao An made a look of sudden realization.
"Hurry up and get to work!" Xiang En scolded with some unbearable scolding.
"At your service, my fiancée!" Shaoan shouted loudly.
