Chapter 272: It's done
Kebo's strength is indeed very great, but in front of the potato dough, he, like the third sister, only 'kneaded' half a time and then 'kneaded' without moving, and tossed for about ten minutes, making himself sweaty and panting like a cow, and finally had to give up.

Seeing Ke Bo's sweat, Ling Shishi looked at Ling Shizhe with dissatisfaction and said, "Old Seven, this potato dough is so hard, how can it be made of noodles?" ”
"Do you know why you can't 'knead' for a long time?" Ling Shizhe said expressionlessly: "That's because there is no kind of gluten tissue in the potato." Gluten is a type of collagen, which is only found in flour, potatoes do not have gluten tissue, so flour can synthesize noodles, potatoes cannot. ”
"What! Since it doesn't work, then you still say that potatoes can make noodles? "The third sister was angry by Ling Shizhe's words, she swore that the potatoes could make noodles, but now he said that there is no gluten in the ingredients of the potatoes, so the 'kneading' can't make noodles.
Isn't this brushing, the third sister is not happy.
Ling Shizhe smiled slightly, ignoring the third sister's angry face, and said with a smile: "Do you know what to do next?" ”
The third sister said angrily: "How do I know." ”
At this time, the third sister's husband saw a little truth, and came over and said: "In my hometown, there is a food called tofu skin, which is made of tofu brain. The method is to crush the tofu brain, then evenly splash it in a square container, then cover it with a cloth and press it vigorously to squeeze out all the water...... Finally, the cloth is uncovered, and the tofu skin is ready. When eating, the tofu skin is shredded, cut into strips, and even cut into pieces, and fried and fried.
I haven't eaten it for many years, but now that I think about it, the strips made of tofu skin are very similar to noodles. Lao Qi, is your potato noodles made with tofu skin? ”
Ling Shizhe smiled slightly and said, "Brother-in-law can see it?" That's right, the manufacturing principle of potato noodles comes from the manufacturing method of tofu skin in your hometown. Both are the same. Potatoes and soybeans do not contain gluten, but in the process of converting soybeans into tofu brain, brine is added, and gluten will be formed naturally; Potatoes can't do that. Therefore, after adding a certain proportion of flour to potato flour, a certain amount of collagen should be added appropriately to ensure the formation of gluten during the 'kneading' process. ”
With that, he pinched a small piece of the dough and placed it under the microscope. Adjust the focus, and then say to everyone: "Let's take a look, there is a honeycomb-like structure in it, which is commonly known as gluten, which is a kind of collagen. ”
Hearing Ling Shizhe say this, Ling Shishi first came to the microscope and looked at it. After looking at it for a while, she got up and got out of the way, followed by the third brother-in-law, Zhao Xiaoyun, Yan Xiaoyun, and several children of the third sister's family, farm workers.
After everyone finished reading it, Zhao Xiaoyun asked the questions that everyone wanted to know. "If there is gluten in the dough, why can't it be kneaded?"
Looking at the expressions of everyone who wanted to get the answer, Ling Shizhe did not directly give them the answer they wanted to know, but asked an irrelevant question, "The scientific name of potato is potato, and the English name is potato, which was originally a herbaceous plant that grew in South America, and was introduced to China by Western missionaries in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and it has a history of four or five hundred years.

Potatoes contain more nutrients than rice and wheat, and have many advantages such as short growth cycle, large yield, drought resistance, waterlogging resistance, and cold resistance. But why was it introduced into the history of China for the next four or five hundred years, and did not become the staple food of the Chinese like rice, flour, and 'jade' rice, which of you can answer? ”
Farm workers simply gave up, for Westerners. China can't figure it out whether it is in the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere, why potatoes have not become the staple food of the Chinese, such advanced learning, they are even more confused, so after Ling Shizhe asked this question, they gave up directly.
The rest is that the third sister, the third brother-in-law, Zhao Xiaoyun and the Chinese workers who came to the farm to install drip irrigation equipment are thinking about this problem. But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't get the point, so I gave up one after another, and in the end, only the third brother-in-law was left thinking slowly.
After a long time, the third brother-in-law seemed to think of something, but he was not sure and asked Ling Shizhe, "Is it a technical problem?" ”
"Moreover, potatoes have been in China for hundreds of years, so what are the technical problems?" After waiting for a long time to see her man give such an answer, the third sister directly gave it no.
Ling Shizhe smiled and said, "The third brother-in-law is right, it's a technical problem. But it is not a technical problem in planting, the problem is in the processing of potatoes. ”
"Ahh What else do you need to process potatoes, isn't it just to eat them directly after they are cooked? The third sister was very surprised by the answer given by Ling Shizhe, potatoes have not become a staple food in China, and the problem lies in processing, which makes her simply unacceptable.
The farm workers also agree with the third sister's point of view, can't you just eat the potatoes directly after they are cooked, what else do you need to process, they Westerners have not done this for hundreds of years, processing, what do you want to process it into? It's really troublesome for Chinese to eat.
Ling Shizhe didn't know what the farm workers were complaining about him in their hearts, looked at everyone's expressions of disbelief, and said, "Let the third brother-in-law answer this question." ”
Ling Shizhe is a well-deserved "father of the CPU" and has a high reputation in the eyes of the West, so the third brother-in-law who was affirmed by Ling Shizhe also showed full confidence, explaining: "This technical problem is caused by our Chinese eating habits. Westerners use knives and forks to eat, Chinese eat with chopsticks, and there is really no problem with knives and forks for cooked potatoes, but with chopsticks, it is not possible, because of this, potatoes have only been used for cooking in China for hundreds of years, and have not been used as a staple food. Otherwise, the Xiaoice period that appeared at the end of the Ming Dynasty would not have produced a large-scale famine and the tragedy of the people changing their children and eating. ”
Easy to eat and eat!! Everyone in the room was stunned by these four words, not only Westerners, but even Zhao Xiaoyun, Yan Xiaoyun and the third sister and her three sons and daughters were stunned by the words of the third brother-in-law, they did not expect that there would be such a human tragedy in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Sky! What a sight it was, it was hell on earth.
In fact, the phenomenon of Yizi eating not only occurred at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but also at the end of every feudal dynasty in Chinese history.
Is there a reason for this, in addition to natural disasters, more from **, I won't talk about it here, the history teacher has talked about it countless times.
Let's talk about this potato, because it is not like rice and flour, it is in line with the eating habits of ordinary people. Therefore, the common people just use it as a dish, and it is not easy to preserve, so the national 'sexual' famine comes. Everyone didn't realize that potatoes could be eaten as rice, plus **, so it was a tragedy.
Therefore, in order to promote the staple food of potatoes in China, it is necessary to transform potatoes. In order to conform to the eating habits of the Chinese in the south and north.
The transformation of potatoes was not unthought of by our ancestors, but they were really not good under the backward technical conditions at that time.
Not to mention anything else, just using steam to dry the water in the potatoes and make dried potato powder can stump all the ancients at that time, because this involves systematic modern industrial knowledge, and there was no advanced modern food processing equipment at that time.
Having said so far, it's a bit off topic, back to the topic. Since the potato dough made from potato flour already has gluten tissue in it. So why did the third sister and Ke Bo still 'rub' not move?
The reason is that to "knead" the potato dough, it is simply not possible to rely on manpower, and it is necessary to use a forced "sex" physical press, under the high pressure of more than 6 tons, the potato dough will become a piece of potato dough thinner than paper, and finally use a cutting machine to cut the dough into strips of different widths, and the whole process of potato noodles is finally completed.
It takes more than 6 tons of high pressure, and the potato dough is pressed into a dough, so no matter how the third sister and Kebo 'knead'. The potato dough is not moving, and a person's strength is great, how can it be compared with a machine.
Put the dough in a special press and turn on the power. Under the high pressure of 6 tons, the dough is pressed into a dough 0.5 meters wide, at which time Ling Shizhe cut a small piece of the dough and placed it under a microscope for observation.
The microscope clearly shows that the structure of gluten has undergone a fundamental 'sexual' transformation, from the original honeycomb to the current network structure.
Anyone who has seen a honeycomb knows it. The honeycomb is a hexagonal structure, and the structure of the object is the strongest in nature, which is why no matter how hard Kebo uses, the dough will never move, if he can 'knead' it, it will be really superhuman.
The noodles with a mesh structure are as soft as freshly made ramen, and their elasticity and durability are much better than those of ordinary noodles, so the texture of potato noodles is better than that of ordinary noodles. It is important to know that gluten structure is the most critical indicator that determines the taste of noodles.
There was no cutting machine, so Ling Shizhe had to use a knife and call a chef who was good at knife work, and in just a few clicks, he cut the dough into shreds, looking at the potato noodles as thin as hair, Ling Shizhe praised the chef's kung fu.
The third sister picked up the noodles and looked left and right, and said, "The noodles are ready, but what about the taste?" ”
"Cook it and you'll know." After speaking, he motioned to the cook to boil water.
The noodles were made quickly, and the bowls of spicy beef 'meat' noodles were really full of 'color' and fragrance, and everyone was moved by their index fingers.
No one ordered, everyone picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, because the third sister's family is Chinese, so the workers on the farm also use chopsticks.
Well, it tastes good, it's no different from ordinary noodles, and it tastes even better, and the noodles taste very chewy.
"Great, Europeans and Americans have the habit of eating noodles, especially Italians, potatoes can be made into noodles, and they can be sold all over the world!" The third sister became excited, as if she saw mountains of gold.
Everyone in the room clapped their hands, especially the farm workers, who were even more excited. Potatoes can be made into noodles, which means they don't have to worry about losing their jobs if they have a job, and they have to build a noodle processing factory to make noodles, and they will have to recruit more workers who can be introduced by their friends and family. The recession is not only for urban workers, but also for cowboys and farm workers who are on the verge of losing their jobs due to the economic downturn, so they are happier than anyone else about the success of potato noodles.
At this time, the third brother-in-law said: "Now that the noodles are successful, what about the potatoes and rice?" ”
Yan Xiaoyun said: "Rice is only eaten by Orientals, Southeast Asia is the main production area of rice in the world, and although potatoes are successful in making noodles, compared with noodles made of wheat, I am afraid of competition, right?" ”
"Well, don't be afraid," Ling Shizhe waved his hand and said indifferently: "Potatoes have four colors: purple 'color', red 'color', black 'color', and yellow 'color', and we can make purple 'color' noodles, red 'color' noodles, black 'color' noodles and gold 'color' noodles according to the four colors of potatoes, so that we can open up the gap with ordinary noodles on the market, and can also highlight the special 'color' of our color 'color' noodles, and the price can also be bought a little higher." ”
The third sister's eyes lit up, and she felt that Ling Shizhe's idea was very good, the colorful 'color' potato noodles were a good gimmick, first of all, potatoes could make noodles, which was surprising enough, plus it was colorful. When they feel that the taste of potato noodles is not worse than ordinary noodles, or even better, they will drive the people around them, so that under the effect of word of mouth, potato noodles will soon become one of the staple foods of Westerners.
Moreover, the noodles are colorful, and they are also very fashionable, which can attract young people who pursue fashion, and with their promotion, potato noodles will definitely become fashionable.
Thinking of this, the third sister was looking forward to it, and looked at Ling Shizhe with a blank eye, hoping that he would also make potatoes and rice
