Locke left, and Liu Heming supported the restaurant for another seven days in a row before he could resist such a crazy pancake tide.
The popularity of pancake sales has repeatedly exceeded his expectations. Even if it is basically stable now, it can still sell more than 600 sets a day, which makes him very incomprehensible.
Finally got some respite, and then it jingled in the little blacksmith shop he had built on his ranch.
If you want to make your pancakes unique, you have to rely on these "spiced" special plates, and he has to study the creation of knives when he is tired of playing iron plates.
The chef of people's Western food clicked on, and there were more than ten knives of all sizes, but there were only two on his side, and some of them failed. After all, he thinks that the chopping of vegetables should be separated from the flesh-cutting, and the chopping of bones and the deboning should be separated. Raw and cooked should also be scored, otherwise you have to wipe the knife back and forth.
It has to be said that John gave him a lot of help in his great cause of ironsmithing. Basically, a large part of his materials were taken from John, and only a small part was purchased online. Good materials are not cheap, and if he wants to make knives with good properties, he needs good materials.
Just as he was smashing hard, John came looking for him.
"I find you seem to like fiddling with these things more than I do now. John said with a smile.
"In case I spread pancakes all over the major cities in the United States, I will prepare for the future. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"I helped you find a second-hand oil press, I really don't understand, isn't it convenient to buy refined oil?" John asked, shaking his head.
"Thank you, John. Mainly because of the different cooking methods of our two cultures, you like to use butter and olive oil for stir-frying, but when I cook, I like to use soybean oil even more. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"And most of the oil bought from outside is blended oil. No matter which manufacturer is promoting health, but we know what else they add when they extract oil? When we get back, we'll pack it up, squeeze out the oil, and let you taste what it tastes like to cook with the oil we squeezed ourselves. ”
"Oh, I forgot to make something when it broke. ”
In the end, Liu Heming slapped his head.
After coming to the United States, you can touch a lot of spices, and the seasonings that Liu Yi bought for him from Chinatown last time were very complete.
But there's one spice that you're hard to find. Not to mention in the United States, even in China, there are some cities where you can't buy it. It's nothing else, it's not very valuable, it's just the sauce that is often eaten in the Northeast, and it's the sauce at home.
Don't underestimate this not-so-valuable sauce, you can eat it directly with pickles, you can also use it to boil fish stews, you can also use miso to pickle pickles, not to mention how beautiful the sauce is.
In the past, he wanted to make his own sauce. The craft is not complicated, and I did it at home every year when I was a child. But recently, I've been busy with the restaurant, and the soybeans have been harvested, but I forgot about this stubble.
This sauce can't be made in a moment, and people also have a whole set of processes. And if you do it now, you will not be able to eat it until next year at the earliest.
Thinking of making sauce, Liu Heming was a little impatient, and even pushed back the oil extraction. When he got to the warehouse, he took out a big bag of soybeans, but he wanted to get more sauce, and when the time came, there would be a special pickle for pickles.
The soybeans were washed, put in the pot, and after adding water, he burned them on a high fire.
Alex saw him busy outside, and thought he was making something to eat, so he ran out of the house.
"Little glutton, you can't eat this today, but you can help Daddy in a while. Liu Heming pinched his daughter's little nose and said.
"Dad, let's burn eggs and eat them, I haven't eaten them for a long time. The little guy nodded and said coquettishly.
"Okay, then let's stop cooking at noon, let's eat the roasted ones and burn some potatoes. Liu Heming naturally agreed unconditionally.
When the soybeans were cooked, he fished them all out and smashed them all with great heat.
"Dad, are you going to make soybean paste?" asked Alex curiously.
"Dad is making a sauce that I can eat next year, so let's help Dad pinch it together in a while. Liu Heming said while pounding.
The little guy wrinkled his nose, and just thought of taking a bite out of it to taste it.
Pound the soybeans and put them aside. It's still hot, and I can't pinch the sauce cubes. The fire in the stove was almost over, so he put the prepared potatoes and eggs in batches. I put a lot of it, and I filled it all up.
After thinking about it for a while, he found two large jars, cleaned them inside and out, and then washed the duck eggs saved at home again.
After adding water to the pot and boiling it, he added a lot of salt to it.
He wants to pickle salted duck eggs, which is also a little trick, using the saturated brine method, so that the salted duck eggs are quick and fragrant, and they are not so salty.
Alex, who had been following him, was even more curious, and he really didn't understand what his father was doing.
Liu Heming didn't tell the little guy, this was a surprise for the little guy. In the future, the salted duck eggs will be ready, and the little guy will love to eat them.
After the two large jars of salted duck eggs were ready, he put them in the empty room. He also told the bears and children not to go there to make trouble.
That's all done, and the temperature of the soybean puree over there has also cooled down. After Liu Heming took his daughter to wash her hands, he sat down next to the vat.
In fact, asking Alex to help him is to play with the child, no matter how the little one pinched, her hand strength was not enough.
Liu Heming prepared a cutting board on the side, which is very important, because the last process of making sauce cubes is - falling, and the sauce cubes that are pinched together are tightened. In this way, it can ferment better and lock in the oil in the sauce.
When Alex saw Liu Heming holding the sauce cube and falling the side, she was also very interested. It's just that the strength of the little guy is still too small, even if the sauce block she makes is very small, the fall is still not as imposing as Liu Heming.
After the sauce was broken, Liu Heming wrapped it in paper again. It will take a long time to ferment, and if you don't wrap it, it will inevitably fall a lot of dust, and he doesn't want the sauce he eats in the future to be full of soil.
Looking at this sauce cube on the ground, whether it is Liu Heming or Alex, they have a sense of accomplishment. Although the little guy doesn't know what these are for, he is involved anyway.
