Chapter 151: The Square Iron Box
"What's wrong?" Fang Yue stretched her head over, and looked at the stove curiously, but she didn't find anything special, it was just the ordinary stove used to bake baked cakes.
"I understand how this stove is used." After Lin Miao finished speaking, he pointed to the stove that was piled up with stones and mud, like a big oil drum, and said to Fang Yue, "There are two sections inside, and there is a boss in the middle, and the boss is used to put baked cakes, and the charcoal fire is placed at the bottom." The whole stove is round, so that the temperature of the charcoal fire is evenly distributed to each pancake at the boss. β
Fang Yue's mouth opened wide, as if she didn't know her.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong? Seeing her expression so strange, Lin Miao couldn't help but ask weakly. What I said just now is all my own speculation, if I say it wrong, I will be embarrassed, I don't know how to pretend to understand, and I still look like a good teacher.
"That's right." Fang Yue nodded, but her expression was still very strange.
"Then why do you have such an expression?" Now it was Lin Miao's turn to feel strange.
"It's a very simple thing, three-year-old children understand, why do you seem to have seen this thing for the first time today, haven't you ever eaten a pancake before?" Fang Yue thought it was strange, this was this question.
"Aha, I eat less, I don't like to eat pancakes." Lin Miao scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly. Something a three-year-old knows! It took a lot of effort to figure out how to use it, it's a shame.
Fang Yue looked at Lin Miao suspiciously, and then asked with concern, "Can the wife cake you want to make also be baked with this stove?" β
This question suddenly brought Lin Miao back to his senses, yes, can his wife's cake be baked in this stove?
Lin Miao turned her head again and carefully looked at the structure inside the stove, and the more she looked, the tighter her brows wrinkled.
The stove is open, not closed, and the heat is controlled by the chef's eye and the swiftness of the movements of his hands. In addition, because it is not a closed structure, the charcoal ash formed by the charcoal fire will also fall on the surface of the cake.
Generally, there is charcoal ash on the baked cake, which can be shaken off only by shaking it gently, because the taste of the baked cake is porcelain and crispy, without too much moisture, so even if the charcoal ash is attached to the surface, it can be shaken off.
However, the wife cake I want to make has a soft and fluffy taste, and the filling inside also ensures that it has considerable moisture, and if there is charcoal ash falling on the surface, it will not be shaken off. In that case, the charcoal ash is mixed in, and it doesn't just affect the taste, it's completely difficult to swallow.
"Sister Fangyue, my wife's cake can't be baked with this stove." Lin Miao frowned.
"Why?" Fang Yue was puzzled.
Lin Miao told Fang Yue the concerns that he had just thought of one by one. After hearing this, Fang Yue asked in a deep voice, "So, what kind of oven do you want?" β
"The oven I want is the kind of oven, boxy, it can be closed, and it can be set up" Lin Miao closed his mouth, almost said that he leaked his mouth, and he could also set the time, why didn't he tell SΓΉ Fangyue directly, it was an electric oven. It's so dangerous, if she just said it, Fang Yue must have thought that she was mentally ill, or her brain was burning.
"Huh? What can I set? Fang Yue asked with interest.
"Well, you can set the position high and low, unlike this stove, which is so big, it is still connected to the ground, and it can't be moved." Lin Miao temporarily made a nonsense.
After hearing this, Fang Yue nodded thoughtfully, "This kind of thing you said, I seem to have seen it somewhere." β
"Huh? Are you sure? Sister Fangyue, do you have a way to get an oven like this? Lin Miao was overjoyed, if she could get an oven, she would be able to make delicious wife cakes.
"I'll try, you come with me." After speaking, Fang Yue helped Lin Miao down from the stool, and the two of them came to the small room on the side of the back kitchen.
Fang Yue pulled out a boxy iron box from a large wooden cabinet, then put it on the table and blew the dust on it.
The dust blown up by "cough cough" choked into their throats, making the two of them cough uncontrollably.
"Sister Fangyue, what is this? There is so much ash, it looks like no one has used it, I don't know if I can use it. Lin Miao covered his nose with one hand, and kept waving the dust in front of him with the other, wanting the dust to disappear from front of him as soon as possible.
"I don't know what it's called, it's the old Master's stuff, he used to love to delve into strange things. As soon as you said boxy, I remembered it. You can try it, you can use it, you can't use it, we can't think of other ways. Fang Yue said as she opened the iron box in all directions.
I saw that in the iron box, there was another Qiankun, in the middle of which there were two iron plates that were put together, and there were some small pits in the middle of the iron plates, and when they were closed, they were a complete, egg-like shape.
There are also two handles connected to the outside on the side of the iron plate, Lin Miao stepped forward to try the handle, and it was still moving. As soon as you turn the handle, the iron plate in the middle will also rotate.
Lin Miao had a flash of inspiration in his heart, ah! That's the kind of thing.
"Haha! That's it, that's it! Lin Miao happily rubbed it over and over again, looking like she couldn't put it down.
"Is this the oven you want?" Fang Yue was also pleasantly surprised, but she didn't expect to find what she was looking for.
Lin Miao shook his head, "The oven I want is not like this, but it is completely sufficient." I think it's just a charcoal fire underneath that. Lin Miao said, pointing to the space under the two iron plates, and then pointed to the two iron plates that could be combined into one, and continued, "Put the cake to be baked in this pit, and after the iron plate is closed, keep shaking the handle next to it to heat it evenly. β
Hearing her explanation, Fang Yue also nodded, "Since it can be used, then let's hurry up and get it on the field, time is running out." β
When the two returned to the arena, Ling Rui had already finished his wife's cake.
Guan Yan said to Lin Miao, "Lin Miao, time is running out, you have to hurry, otherwise, your wife cake will not be qualified to be judged by the judges." β
Lin Miao nodded, and put the square iron box that he had just taken out of the back kitchen next to the stove.
When everyone in the audience saw this strange iron box, they couldn't help but stretch their necks curiously to look around.
"What did she bring out? It's like an iron box. β
"I don't know, I've never seen it before. Didn't they go to the back kitchen to see the stove? Why did you get it back now, it's such an iron box? β
"The tin box can also be used to bake baked cakes?"
"She's not going to bake the pancakes, she's going to bake the wife's pancakes."
Lin Miao first cleaned the iron plate in the square iron box, and then put the charcoal fire under the iron plate, so that the iron plate was first baked by the charcoal fire and preheated for some time.
Then she uncovered the white gauze covering the dough cake, brushed a layer of egg wash on the dough cake again, and gently cut three small openings on the surface with a knife to prevent the inner filling from expanding due to heat and washing the dough apart.
Lin Miao brushed some oil in the pit in the iron plate, then put a raw dough cake into the pit, closed the iron plate, and completely covered the entire square box, and then shook the handle to make the iron plate rotate in the square iron box.
After a while, a fragrance emanated from the square box, which was different from the aroma of fried noodles, and had a warm fragrance, like the smell of sunshine.
Unlike smelling the general aroma of food, the audience did not swallow hard, but closed their eyes, took a deep breath of enjoyment, and exclaimed, "Well, it's so fragrant!" It feels like a blissful taste. β
"Yes, this smell is very special, I have never smelled such a good smell, although it is baked, it is completely different from the taste of the baked cake."
Guan Yan was also stunned, his cooking skills were also top-notch in the dark culinary world. He is very picky about the aroma of food, but the taste baked by Lin Miao makes him feel strange and enjoyable, and this kind of olfactory stimulation has transcended the stimulation of appetite and reached the level of spiritual happiness. The fragrance of this wife's cake can make people feel happy and warm.
Guan Yan turned around and glanced at Lan Yuejiao meaningfully, and he found that Lan Yuejiao's expression was also stunned, and then a surprised expression appeared on her face. She understands that she has found the right person, and this Lin Miao has immeasurable potential.
After a while, Lin Miao stopped what he was doing, opened the iron box in the four directions, and then removed the iron plate from the charcoal fire. After the iron plate was separated, the wife cake in the pit came into view, and the fragrance became more and more intense, emitting in the surrounding air, so that everyone in the audience couldn't help but stretch their necks again.
"Is it done? It smells so good! I really want to see what that wife's cake looks like. β
Lin Miao originally had an expectant and excited expression on her face, but after opening the iron plate, the expression on her face first became stunned, then a little annoyed, and finally a little embarrassed.
She stuck out her tongue and said to Fang Yue, who was standing not far away, "The heat is not well controlled, some places have not been baked yet, it seems that it will take a little more time to bake." β
Fang Yue stretched her neck to look, although she was not far away, but she didn't see what the wife cake looked like, at this time, she heard Lin Miao say that the heat was not enough, so she nodded and comforted, "It's okay, there is still time, the first time I use this thing, the heat is not accurate, it is also understandable, just try again." β
Lin Miao smiled at her, poured out the freshly baked wife cake, then picked up a raw dough cake again, brushed it with egg wash, brushed it with oil in the pit, closed the iron plate again, and baked it on the charcoal fire. R1152
