Chapter 16 Chestnut Pink Flower Ginseng
In Dejuquan's back kitchen, many chefs heard that Li Gengxin called everyone off work. The performance of all the chefs was not as elated as Li Gengxin imagined, after all, being able to leave work early should be something that many people are very willing to do.
However, Li Gengxin did not come in in casual clothes when he entered the kitchen today. A beige kitchen uniform is clean and tidy, and the white apron is meticulously tied around the waist. Everyone could see that Li Gengxin must be making some food when he came to the back kitchen.
Every time I see Li Gengxin cooking, it is a rare learning opportunity for all the chefs in Deju Kitchen. However, Li Gengxin did not let everyone stay, but called everyone to call it a day early. This is tantamount to not wanting everyone to see Li Gengxin cooking.
Li Gengxin looked at the chefs who were slowly walking out of the kitchen, and subconsciously frowned, not understanding why everyone had such expressions, and raised his hand suspiciously and scratched the back of his head.
Walking in front of Li Gengxin, Zhao Dahai smiled and waited for Li Gengxin's order.
"Curious why I say again?" Li Gengxin made a joke at Zhao Dahai.
"Haha...... Wasn't it all me that time? If you can have another opportunity, it means that you value me by updating you! My old Zhao is a reasonable person. Haha......" Zhao Dahai grinned in front of Li Gengxin to cater to Li Gengxin's joke.
"Hmph...... It's cold! Yan Mozhu muttered beside him. caused the two of them to subconsciously glance at Yan Mozhu.
Yan Mozhu turned his head and snorted at Li Gengxin and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Every time he saw Li Gengxin, Yan Mozhu felt an indescribable depression in his heart. It seems like I want to smoke, but it's more of a fidget. In fact, Yan Mozhu didn't even find out about it. I always want to get Li Gengxin's attention to myself! But this nerd pretends to be stupid in front of him every time. I don't know if it's really stupid or fake!
Of course. If Li updated as Yan Mozhu wished. Yan Mozhu may be more irritable. One is his good sister, and the other is the man he likes from the bottom of his heart. Let Yan Mozhu make a choice between friendship and love.
Yan Mozhu can't say that love is selfish. But he is absolutely reluctant to update his favorite Li.
And this Li Gengxin, whom Yan Mozhu liked, smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll look at you...... It's not because you're good-looking. Belle! ”
"Humph! Slippery! Yan Mozhu spat lightly at Li Gengxin. Then he turned his head to Zhao Dahai and said, "Master Zhao, I want to ask you something!" ”
Zhao Dahai was looking at Yan Mozhu and Li Gengxin bickering with a smile. Suddenly, Yan Mozhu turned his head and asked himself. Hurriedly grinned and said, "Mr. Yan just ask!" ”
"Hmmm! I wonder what chestnut flour is? Is it chestnut ground powder? Yan Mozhu frowned slightly, and a faint suspicion appeared on his face.
"Oh, chestnut powder. This thing is not the flour of chestnuts. This thing is used less in Chinese restaurants. Because this is the seasoning of Western food......" While speaking, Zhao Dahai glanced at Yan Mozhu a few times. It's like saying, "You should be able to use it in your restaurant all the time...... Don't you know? ”
"Really? It turned out to be a seasoning for Western food, huh? Yan Mozhu nodded suddenly. Then he asked, "Do you have this thing in your back kitchen now?" ”
Zhao Dahai frowned, thought for a while and said, "This seems to be ...... Wait, I think there is, right? I'll look for it first! After speaking, Zhao Dahai quickly ran into his small office. Grab the mouse and toss around the system interface.
Yang Hongli muttered curiously at Yan Mozhu: "Mozhu, why do you want chestnut powder?" What the hell is this thing? ”
"You'll find out in a moment. I don't know what it is! Yan Mozhu then responded.
Li Gengxin, who had been playing the soy sauce party standing next to him, smiled awkwardly, raised his hand and pointed at his face. The expression on his face revealed that Li Gengxin seemed to be shouting in his heart: "Ask me!" Ask me! Ask me! ”
"If you know, say it!" Yan Mozhu glanced at Li Gengxin.
"O you! What a couple of enemies......" Yang Hongli sneered beside him, and muttered with a smile at Li Gengxin and Yan Mozhu.
Li Gengxin didn't sell it, and said to Yan Mozhu and Yang Hongli: "This thing is actually the starch often used in Chinese food." And it is said that it is chestnut powder, but it is not actually starch made from chestnuts. And it's the starch of cornmeal, hahaha......"
"Oh?" Yan Mozhu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Li Gengxin then continued: "In fact, chestnut powder is indeed different from our ordinary starch, because chestnut powder has a unique appearance and texture when mixed with water or milk, and is often mixed with white sugar powder as an anti-binder agent. In addition, chestnut flour is often used as a coagulant in Western food such as pudding. Nowadays, the most ready-made puddings on the market are pre-mixed with chestnut flour. After buying pudding flour at home, you can easily make corn flour pudding with milk, sugar, chestnut flour and other ingredients such as adding some flavor enhancers. ”
Yang Hongli smiled next to him and said, "Speaking of pudding, I suddenly want to eat yellow peach pudding......
Turning his head to look at Yang Hongli, he nodded and said, "Wait until this competition is over." I'll do it for the eldest lady with my own hands! ”
Yan Mozhu said with a faint sour taste in his words: "Isn't it just pudding?" What's new! ”
"Found it, found it!" Zhao Dahai walked out of the spice room with a yellow packaging bag in his hand. His eyes fell on the chestnut powder in his hand, and he seemed to be a little surprised in his heart, wondering why Yan Mozhu would let him find chestnut powder?
"Bring it and I'll take a look." Yan Mozhu beckoned to Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai naturally hurriedly handed over the chestnut powder in his hand to Yan Mozhu's hands.
Looking at the chestnut powder in his hand. Yan Mozhu frowned. Some foxes muttered suspiciously: "Why did you put a Chinese label?" Not a single Chinese word above? Master Zhao, don't you know that the state requires that spices without Chinese logos cannot be used? ”
"Hey...... This was bought by the original head chef Guo Laoda on Haitao. It's just that he didn't have time to use it after he bought it...... Hey! As soon as Zhao Dahai's words were finished, Yan Mozhu nodded with a sigh. Then he looked up and glanced at Li Gengxin, and naturally understood what Zhao Dahai meant.
"Why is it cornstarch?" Yan Mozhu suddenly frowned.
Li Gengxin said next to him: "Because in Hong Kong and Macao, it is also called corn flour "corn flour" for "corn flour". Miss Yan, shouldn't you tell me what you want chestnut noodles to do now? ”
Yan Mozhu lowered his head. looked at the chestnut powder in his hand and said, "Because ...... The dish that Dai Mengrao wants to participate in the competition is called "Chestnut Pink Flower Carving Ginseng" (to be continued.) )
