Chapter 288: Secret Recipe
Zhao Fei looked at that strength, and involuntarily shrank a little, muttering, "That crazy woman-, Senior Sister Xi won't be beating that dough as Qin Zi, right......?"
Xi Xue quietly walked into the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and while retreating, she also used Yu to observe the surroundings, and found that the people around her did not notice her movements, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, looked at the spoon in her hand, and a trace of chagrin flashed in her eyes, why did she not pay attention to the wrong spoon, and she was seen as a joke.
Angry at her own carelessness in her heart, she looked at the spoon in her hand as if she was looking at a hot potato, and couldn't help but want to throw it to the door, Qin Xiu's handsome face suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but blush, and the ghost stopped throwing the spoon.
"Miss Xi should use this. Just when Xi Xue had just stopped moving, a figure appeared beside her, and the person who came reached out and gently but undoubtedly grabbed the spoon she was holding in her hand and threw it away.
Xi Xue was frightened, as if she had done something bad and was caught on the spot, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she immediately retracted her hand, and before she could say anything, someone handed her a clean spoon in front of her.
Looking at the white porcelain spoon handed to her, Xi Xue blinked quickly, stabilized her mind, looked at the person who was holding the spoon, pouted, didn't look at the spoon, walked directly behind him around the other party's bowl, and left a sentence with a hint of anger: "Zhu Gongzi, thank you for your kindness, we are not so familiar yet, I'll take it myself." ”
Xi Xue, who bypassed Zhu Fenghu, patted her chest, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, resumed her previous style at will, found a table at random, picked up a spoon and ate the food in her hand.
The smile on Zhu Feng's face froze, slightly gloomy, he took a deep breath, and when he turned around, he saw Xi Xue sitting at the dining table, holding a new spoon, eating food with a look of enjoyment.
Looking at her beautiful face, he put away the peace in his heart, walked into her with a smile, and sat down in the seat in front of her.
A trace of impatience flashed in Xi Xue's heart, this guy is like kraft candy, she can't shake it off, but the land is big, and the food is the biggest! As long as it doesn't hinder her from eating food, everything is negotiable.
No one paid attention to the situation here, and everyone was attracted by the kneading skills of the two rao in the field, Xi Furao was strong and domineering, as if he had a grudge against the dough, and one punch was very powerful;
And Qin Xiu seemed to press lightly on the dough, but in fact, the force he used did not need to be spared, but he used dark energy, and from time to time he would also send a ball of yuan force into the dough, which ordinary people couldn't see, only when his movements were soft and weak.
Only Qin Xiu knew that he kneaded this method in order to control the temperature of the dough at 30 °C, because at this temperature, the protein in the flour has the highest water absorption, the gluten generation rate is also the highest, the quality is the best, and the extensibility and elasticity of the dough after kneading will also be the best, and it is the most suitable for stretching.
"Mrs. Xi simply subverted my cognition, I always thought that Mrs. Xi was gentle......" The money shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, fortunately, because the other party is a six-star chef, he has always offered the other party as an ancestor, otherwise, this kind of power hit himself......
"Senior Sister Xi's demeanor has not diminished back then. Li Yi sighed.
"What a demeanor, isn't she just a crazy woman like before. Zhao Fei muttered.
"Hehe, it seems that you miss the 'ecstasy' taste that Senior Sister Xi once gave you. A stiff smile tugged at the corner of Li Yi's mouth.
Douda's cold sweat was left from Zhao Fei's temples, and he said weakly: "I don't have anything!"
Li Yi just made a straight face, glanced at him, and didn't turn his head to look at the two people in the game.
Half a moment, Qin Xiu and Mrs. Xi stopped their movements at the same time, and when they stopped moving, the two Qin Qin looked up at each other, and sparks full of fighting spirit collided fiercely in the air.
"Not bad, son. Mrs. Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at the dough he had kneaded across from her.
"Each other, each other. Qin Xiu stretched his face and took a serious look at the dough in front of the other party, just by a glance, he could be sure that the other party's kneading skills were very flirtatious.
When he finished, he lowered his head and began to make the dough, which is to leave the dough for a while, also to promote the production of gluten.
"Hmph. Mrs. Xi snorted lightly, she lowered her head and grabbed the dough and began to knead the strips, from the thick strips of her arms to the thick strips, and her hands quickly left a string of afterimages, until the thickness of her fingers, and then coiled in the disc round and round.
Cover with a damp cloth and start to rest, that is, let it sit for a period of time, so that the proteins that have not absorbed enough water have enough time to absorb water, so as to improve the production and quality of gluten.
Qin Xiu plans to boil soup when making noodles, the success of a bowl of noodles is not only in the noodles, but more importantly, the soup, the quality of the noodles can increase the taste, but whether the soup is good or not can determine whether a bowl of noodles is successful.
Seeing him start processing the ingredients, Mrs. Xi was surprised, "Are you going to start boiling soup just like that?"
"Otherwise?" Qin Xiu wondered, the competition has a time limit, and if you don't hurry up, you will have to wait until when you can't get through it quickly.
Mrs. Xi was speechless, and she was speechless for a while. Every chef will make a few good dishes, especially those who can cook spiritual food, they basically have a few secret recipes in their hands, and these secret recipes will not be exposed except for their own teachers, no matter who will take strict precautions, it is impossible to expose them undisguised in front of everyone.
Especially since they are still chefs, after seeing all the ingredients of this dish, especially after seeing the process of making this dish, many people can copy it, and at that time, this dish will no longer be their own cherry blossoms
Therefore, in order to keep the secret recipe in his hand, in order to avoid his best dishes being stolen, the chef basically will not make dishes in front of the side, unless the dish is very popular and many people know it, or no one knows about this dish, and others can't learn it anyway.
The most important thing to make noodles is soup, and the secret recipe of soup is known, which means that the recipe of this noodle is exposed.
Mrs. Xi opened her mouth, wanting to remind him, but after thinking about it, the other party's cooking skills are very good, and such a simple common sense should not be unaware, maybe people are confident that their dishes will not be learned, so they are so bold.
Thinking so, Mrs. Xi didn't open her mouth to remind.
There is an unwritten rule in the chef world that you are not allowed to steal his signature dishes without permission, and once discovered, you will be spurned by everyone.
But this does not include self-exposure, if you take the initiative to expose the recipe in public, or make dishes in public, and then be learned, then not only will no one punish the 'stealing scholar', on the contrary, they are still very worshipped.
Qin Xiu didn't think about it so much, in his opinion, the competition was actually in public, naturally all the processes were in public, he didn't expect the recipe to be kept secret at all, plus although he usually saw it, what he saw the most was the knowledge of various ingredients, spirit beasts, and medical knowledge.
It's not that he doesn't understand the history and culture of this world, but he hasn't seen this so-called 'common sense'.
In addition, the method of reiki blending is different for each material, and in the case of not knowing the aura blending method, if you want to learn a spiritual meal, it definitely needs demonic resources to be possible, so he subconsciously feels that others can't steal even if they want to steal it, and in the end, he has no sense of defense.
However, Qin Xiu forgot one thing, there is such a thing as spiritual power in this world, if you want to know the aura harmony method, as long as you use spiritual power to 'see' the aura harmony method, you can know it clearly, even if the 'stealing person' can't make an authentic taste at first, try it a few more times, and you will definitely be able to make the same deliciousness.
Qin Xiu, who didn't understand common sense, didn't care and started to boil soup on the spot, and whether it was Zhao Fei, Li Yi, or Yao Kun, or other knowledgeable people, they all thought that Qin Xiu understood this 'common sense' like Mrs. Xi.
Qin Xiu began to boil beef and lamb liver with old soup and water according to a certain process, and then added 23 kinds of traditional condiments to start boiling the soup of beef noodles.
He didn't throw all the ingredients and condiments into it, nor did he estimate the time to put the ingredients and condiments, but poured it very easily every once in a while, sometimes he put two or three things in a row, but he followed a certain order, grasped a certain time and rhythm of delivery, and had a kind of confidence in strategizing.
At the same time, his spiritual power and Yuan Force also began to reconcile the aura in the ingredients, which made the lightness on his face a lot lighter and more serious.
Mrs. Xi, who was opposite him, put down a formation plate beside him and opened the formation that concealed people's eyes, Qin Xiu saw this formation, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't think much about it.
Li Yi, who was standing on the side and watching, noticed that something was wrong, and asked incomprehensibly, "What is Qin Xiu doing, why don't you make a formation to cover it? Isn't he afraid that the secret recipe will be leaked? Even if he is too lazy to cover up the production process, he should also cover up the aura blending method, right?"
Zhao Fei had a bad premonition in his heart, and seeing that Qin Xiu didn't mean to cover it up at all, he guessed stiffly: "He doesn't know how to cover it up, right?" ”
The more he became more and more unconfident in these words, Yao Kun even broke his self-comfort with his own hands, and said in a slur manner: "If he continues to do this, I will write down the method of making this material." ”
He only wrote it down, but he couldn't make it, and obviously knew that even if he knew the recipe, it wouldn't be so easy to make it.
Lu Zeqian saw that Lu Qianrong seemed to want to remind her loudly, so he immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed her, and said: "Don't be stupid, shouting out at this time in case the people are in a mess, make the wrong step, and lose the game?!"
"But ......" Lu Qianrong showed hesitation on her face, and finally stomped her feet, nothing.
After half an hour, Qin Xiu stopped what he was doing, and all the ingredients for cooking the soup were put into the pot, and now all that was left was to wait for it to simmer on high heat.
And half an hour passed, and the dough that had been eaten before was also ready, and he began to slip the strips, pounding, kneading, stretching, and falling the large ball of soft noodles on the table repeatedly, and his strength was very well controlled.
After completing these steps in a short time, place the strip on the board, hold the ends of the strip with both hands, lift it up and hit it the board.
After the strip is elongated, the two ends are folded in half, and the two ends are continued to be held and beaten, which is called Shun tendon in the industry, and then kneaded into long strips, kneaded into a strip of 20 mm thick and long chopsticks, or kneaded into a round bar.
Qin Xiu took a deep breath and began to ramen.
Ramen is a unique skill because there are many types of noodles, such as "Daikuan" with a width of two fingers, "Nikuan" with a width of one finger, "leek leaves" shaped like blades of grass, "Yiwo Silk" with a thin silk thread, and "Buckwheat Ridge" with a three-edged strip.
Put the slipped noodles on the board, Qin Xiu sprinkled the oil again, held both ends of his hands, and accelerated the two arms evenly and forcefully to pull outward, and then folded the two ends in half, both ends were placed in the finger gap of the left hand at the same time, and the middle finger of the other hand was hooked to the other end downward, and the palm of the hand was turned up, so that the noodles formed a noose, and at the same time the two hands were stretched to both sides.
Once the noodles are elongated, place the end of the right hand on your left finger and continue to hook the other end with your right hand. This is repeated, and each fold is called a buckle.
Qin Xiu's speed of pulling was very fast, leaving behind a series of afterimages, but his force was very even, and the noodles he pulled out were of uniform thickness and did not break.
A noodle knot just pulls a large bowl of noodles, each time you pull it, you have to fold it back on your wrist once, pull it to the end, shake your hands up and down a few times, the noodles are flexible and long, and the thickness is uniform.
Thirty seconds later, Qin Xiu stopped moving, and the noodles in his hand became as thin as cotton threads, as soft as a feather, and the wind blew through, but the noodles rippled but did not break, smooth and tendonous.
The pulled noodles are removed as long as they are boiled in the pot for a while, and they are flexible and non-sticky.
At this time, the formation beside Mrs. Xi was also unraveled, obviously the most important step of her soup was also completed, after she untied the formation, she glanced at Qin Xiu deeply, and stopped with a hint of desire, although she set up the formation before, it did not mean that the perception of the outside world was blocked, Qin Xiu never covered up the production process, she looked at Zheng
"Are you okay?" Qin Xiu had a moment of free at this time, noticed her expression, and asked.
"Your recipe is just exposed, is it okay?" Mrs. Xi thought that she was a senior, and she also recognized the identity of the opponent of the other party, so she hesitated for a moment and asked reservedly.
Qin Xiu was stunned, his brain was not stupid, he didn't react for a while, and now he was reminded by the other party like this, thinking of what she asked before, and the act of setting up a formation, he immediately connected these things together, and wanted the reason.
After thinking about it, Qin Xiu didn't feel annoyed, but felt a little pity, it was a pity that he had such an opportunity to earn spirit crystals.
