Jiao Xiang's apprenticeship ceremony was very simple, after Mu Fan kowtowed, he wrote a contract, the general meaning is the same as the previous regulations, nothing more than that after completing the study, you are not allowed to set the price privately in Xudu, and after opening a store, you must worship Zhuge Liang and the like. Mu Fan happily signed and drew the charge, and then Jiao Xiang took it to the courtyard, and after announcing to everyone that Mu Fan was his apprentice from now on, he let Mu Fan follow him.

As the saying goes, watch first and then learn, which is a common method used by the older generation of disciples. It's similar to the truth of learning cross talk to listen to cross talk first, the Lord is in the word 'smoke'.

"See, remember, use your brain. Jiao Xiang said: "After watching the whole process, you have to ask me three questions. ”

"Hey, the disciple wrote it down. Mu Fan responded obediently.

Steaming steamed buns is not difficult, it is nothing more than mixing flour with yeast powder melted in warm water, then adding the appropriate water, stirring well, and then kneading the dough by hand, covering it and letting it ferment. After the fermentation is completed, the flour is added and the dough is smooth, and then it can be shaped and steamed, a process that almost every housewife does.

But as the saying goes, it's easy to get started, but it's hard to learn, and it's not easy to steam steamed buns. Each of these links is worth exploring, how much water to add, the kneading technique and strength, the fermentation time, including the heat when steaming the steamed buns, a little bit of the pool, the quality of the steamed buns, it can be said that the difference is a thousand miles.

Those apprentices only do some basic homework, such as making steamed bread ferment, and the ratio of flour, baking powder and water is all allocated in advance by Jiaoxiang. Mu Fan noticed that what they added to the flour was not the usual baking powder, but a pale yellow powder. The effect should be the same as that of baking powder, but what it is, Mu Fan does not know.

After the dough has been fully fermented, it will be Jiao Xiang's turn to come on the field himself. I saw that he rolled up his sleeves, the muscles on his arms rose and fell slightly, he held the dough with both hands, kneaded it repeatedly with a very fast technique, and from time to time lifted the whole piece of dough and fell down, and quickly slapped it a few times. It is similar to the technique of the masseur in the bathhouse, and it is very rhythmic.

Jiaoxiang's movements are like flowing water, and the speed is bizarre. Mu Fan never thought that kneading dough would be so ornamental, and he was dazzled and admired. He understood why Jiao Xiang said that it was not a day's work to learn his hand. This strength and hand speed alone cannot be practiced overnight, let alone the ever-changing technique and control of strength.

As Jiao Xiang's hands flew up and down, the dough took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after Jiao Xiang stood up. The surface of the dough has become extremely smooth, and Jiaoxiang's hands, which were originally covered with flour, have become extremely clean, as if they have been carefully washed.

"Look at it. Jiao Xiang took a deep breath, grabbed the dough with both hands and danced quickly.

Mu Fan couldn't see Jiao Xiang's movements clearly, and could only see that with the movement of his hands, round raw steamed buns appeared on the floured board. In Mu Fan's opinion, the premise of kneading the dough into steamed buns is to first use a knife to cut the dough into small dough of equal size, but Jiao Xiang directly omitted this process with both hands, and the kneaded raw steamed bread was the same size, as if it was made from a mold.

After Jiao Xiang kneaded the large dough into forty or fifty raw steamed buns, Mu Fan was already dumbfounded.

"Go to the steamer!" Jiao Xiang ordered, and the worker next to him had already placed the turquoise steamer in turn, and after placing the raw steamed buns neatly according to the fixed gap, he served the steamer and covered the cage lid.

Jiao Xiang put his hands behind his back and looked down at the fire in the stove. Sometimes let the small workers add firewood, and sometimes let the small workers suppress the fire. After 20 minutes, the unique aroma of steamed buns spreads out of the steamer.

"Get out of the oven!" With Jiao Xiang's order, the two workers worked together to remove the steamer, but instead of lifting the cage lid, they took a huge thick cloth towel, and at the moment of lifting the cage cover, the cloth towel was completely covered on the steamer. It took about four or five minutes before the cloth was removed. The size of the cage was the same, and the steamed buns overflowing with wheat fragrance were displayed in front of Mu Fan.

"Taste one. Jiao Xiang said to Mu Fan with a side face.

"Bh. Mu Fan, who had just eaten six steamed buns, moved his index finger again at this time, and stepped forward to pick up a steamed bun, because it was hot just out of the oven, so he kept turning the steamed buns upside down with his hands. When the heat subsided slightly, he stretched out his head and took a small bite. Suddenly, the wheat fragrance exploded in the mouth, and the steamed buns that had just come out of the cage were even more delicious than the others.

Mu Fan ate the steamed bun in two or three bites, looking intoxicated.

"Say it. Jiao Xiang said.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. Mu Fan turned his head and replied.

"It's up to you to say that. Jiao Xiang raised his hand and patted Mu Fan's head, and said with a straight face: "I'm asking you to talk about the problem." ”

Only then did Mu Fan remember the task that Jiao Xiang had just arranged for him. Mu Fan from the beginning to the end, there are really a lot of problems. But Jiao Xiang said that he could only propose three.

"Master, then I said it. Mu Fan thought for a moment and raised his hand to the wheat yellow flour, "What kind of flour is this?"

"Qingtian wheat is milled, which belongs to the best of the best. Jiao Xiang replied in a flat tone.

"Oh. Mu Fan nodded, and pointed to the emerald green steamer, "Then what is this steamer made of, and why is the color so emerald green?"

"Nanshan green bamboo, the longer it takes, the stronger the fragrance. Jiao Xiang's face was already a little unsightly at this time, and the reason why he asked Mu Fan to ask three questions was actually a test for Mu Fan, so as to judge his understanding and talent. But Mu Fan's first two questions were obviously a bit off-topic, and his attention was not on his own methods and heat at all.

"What's the third question?" Jiao Xiang asked with a little expectation, according to Jiao Xiang's thoughts, Mu Fan had already finished asking the inconsequential question, and the next question should involve the technical level.

"The final question is simple. Mu Fan smiled and asked, "Where are these things sold?"

"Stupid! stupid!" Jiao Xiang's face darkened, and he glared at Mu Fan and said, "The questions you asked are all inconsequential, as long as you have money, you can get it at your fingertips." What you should care about now is the kneading technique, the amount of water added, and the judgment of the heat, you didn't mention any of these three key points, what a fool. ”

Mu Fan shrank his head, but he didn't think so. As long as he asked Jiao Xiang to help write down the cooking skills, he could completely master it with the help of the system. But this flour and kitchen utensils are what he needs to consider. After all, after returning to the world, you can't get these things, so you have to inquire in advance.

But it is reasonable for Jiao Xiang to be angry, after all, he doesn't know that there is a system against the sky in Mu Fan's body.

"Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong. Mu Fan hurriedly admitted his mistake, he was really afraid that Jiao Xiang would dislike his stupidity, so he temporarily changed his mind and expelled himself from the division.

However, Jiao Xiang didn't mean to drive Mu Fan away, as the old saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father for life, and in turn one day is an apprentice and a son for life. Although Mu Fan's initial performance made Jiao Xiang a little disappointed, a person like him who values love and righteousness will naturally not give up because Mu Fan is stupid.

"Forget it, although you are not talented, you can succeed with more diligence in the future. Jiao Xiang comforted, took out a booklet from his arms, and handed it to Mu Fan, "This is the experience of steaming steamed buns for the teacher, and many details and techniques have been clearly explained in it." You put it away closely, and after you memorize it in your heart, if you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me. ”

Mu Fan looked at the booklet that Jiao Xiang handed to him, and the tornado of happiness suddenly churned in his heart. He really didn't expect that Jiao Xiang would so easily hand over the secret recipe of steamed steamed buns to himself.

In fact, Mu Fan's understanding is based on the Ding Kitchen system, after all, with the cheats, he is equivalent to mastering the cooking skills of steamed steamed buns, so in his eyes, this booklet can be said to be a huge wealth.

But this point cannot be applied to others, although the cheats are precious, but if you want to fully comprehend and master, you must put in a lot of effort. Without Jiao Xiang's personal explanation and guidance, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to fully comprehend Jiao Xiang's cooking skills of steamed steamed buns with this secret book. From this point of view, cheats are not very precious.

"Still not taking it?" Jiao Xiang saw Mu Fan stunned in place, and opened his mouth to urge.

"Thank you, master. Mu Fan hurriedly took it, ecstatic, and asked in his heart: "System, the cooking cheats have been obtained, how to learn?"

"Just put the book in the warehouse, click on it and you're ready to go. The system prompted, and by the way, demonstrated the method of storage.

Mu Fan naturally couldn't put the booklet into the warehouse in front of Jiao Xiang, and after receiving the booklet in his arms, he covered his stomach and said, "Master, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, is there a thatched house in the courtyard?"

"Next to the bamboo forest in the south, go and come back quickly. Jiao Xiang raised his hand and pointed.

"Hey. Mu Fan replied, turned around and ran towards the south of the courtyard.

Mu Fan naturally didn't go to the thatched house to learn cooking, but when he came to a secluded place in the south, he saw that there was no one around, so he took out the booklet he had just gotten from his arms, raised his hand to hold it to his chest, and silently said 'item storage' in his heart.

In the next second, with a light in his hand, the booklet disappeared into thin air. At the same time, the interface of the warehouse appeared in Mu Fan's mind. The booklet actually appears in a storage compartment on the top level, with two options at the bottom, one for 'Take Out' and one for 'Study'.

Mu Fan took a deep breath and silently chanted 'study' in his heart. Immediately afterwards, a progress bar appeared in front of Mu Fan's eyes, and in less than three seconds, the progress bar grew full. In an instant, a huge stream of information poured into Mu Fan's mind like a tide. At the same time, Mu Fan felt his head sink slightly, and when he came back to his senses, all the cooking skills that Jiao Xiangfang had just demonstrated were all learned by him.

Mu Fan feels like he has made steamed buns for half his life, and every technique and every detail is so familiar. The cooking skills that are as difficult to understand as advanced functions are as simple and clear as one plus one in Mu Fan's eyes at this time.

At the same time, the system sends out another reminder.

The host successfully mastered the practice of steamed bread, and the system task was completed. When the host returns to the body, the quest reward will be distributed. Now the host can choose to leave the sixth district of Xudu and return to the human world.
