Chapter 16 Green onion cake without green onions

Li Ke grabbed a handful of flour, although he began to see that there were no coarse grains on the surface of the flour, but he still needed his hands to feel the roughness of the flour underneath, and after confirming that the fineness of the flour could indeed meet the requirements of making cakes by himself, he saw two small heads stretched out like giraffes beside him.

Looking at these two abrupt little heads, Li Ke patted Gao Yang's little head sticking out from the right, and said with a smile: "Gao Yang, you like to eat delicious food so much, you must have eaten many kinds of cakes, why don't you know cake flour yet." ”

Gao Yang, who was slapped with a messy bun, tidied up his princess bun with an unhappy face, and snorted coquettishly: "Brother Huang, you laugh at me again, the cake is a cake, and the cake powder is a cake powder, these two things look different, how can I recognize them." Li Su next to him also nodded his head and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Hepu is right." ”

Seeing that these two living treasures looked as they were taken for granted, Li Ke certainly wouldn't continue to dwell on this issue, so he didn't explain to them how the cake was made of bread flour. Then Li Ke began to ask them to each move a small wooden basin, then wash the wooden basin and hands, and prepare to put in flour and knead the dough.

Of course, Li Ke didn't plan to just make food like green onion cakes, otherwise he wouldn't have prepared dinner so early. Li Ke is going to wait for buns and steamed buns that will make a little dough, and he needs a little time to prepare the dough

In fact, in the previous life, people ate steamed buns and steamed buns that were fermented with yeast, and in the previous life, Li Ke himself particularly liked to eat a kind of old noodle steamed buns, which were not fermented with yeast, but with old noodle fat, and the steamed buns were soft but not collapsed, chewy, and fragrant. It won't collapse like the knife-cut steamed buns sold in the steamed bun shop, and it won't be full after eating two.

It's just that this kind of old noodle steamed bread does not exist now, although the steamed cakes in the Tang Dynasty are similar to steamed buns, they are made of flour and then steamed in a steamer, but no alkaline noodles are added, so the naturally fermented noodles are inevitably sour.

Li Ke didn't take out alkaline noodles for the first time, but asked his own chef to get some old noodles, and the old noodles were still available in the Tang Dynasty where cakes were the staple food. After melting away the old face, Li Ke glanced to the side and saw Li Su and Gao Yang playing with the dough in their basin like clay figures, and both of them had a lot of flour on their faces.

Li Ke watched them knead the dough, remembering that in his previous life, as a descendant of the royal family when he was a child, he was instilled with all kinds of morality, etiquette, and politics since he was a child. Naturally, there was no such a cheerful childhood. But there are some things that can be enjoyed more as a bystander.

Seeing them rubbing the flour in the wooden basin like clay men, Li Ke did not scold them for not concentrating on kneading the dough, but just smiled and looked at it without speaking.

Add hot water, after the old noodles in his basin melt, Li Ke gradually added flour and began to knead the dough, the process of kneading the dough is both a strength work and a technical work, it is said that the strength work is because the dough should be kneaded evenly without dough inclusion, and it is also necessary to knead the dough vigorously, otherwise the taste of the noodles is not chewy, and it is a failure not to bounce the teeth.

Li Ke kneaded the dough with a little ease, because since he drank the magical dew in the space, Li Ke's body had changed from the inside out, but Li Ke needed some time to get used to the changed body.

。。。 After kneading the dough, Li Ke looked at the smooth dough he kneaded, obviously satisfied with his dough. Then close the lid and wait for the dough to rise. Taking advantage of this time, Li Ke glanced at the progress of his two younger siblings,

It's okay not to look at it, Li Ke couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, because Gao Yang and Li Su had completely evolved into two big flower cats at this time, but the two big flower cats were almost playing with the dough, and they were lying on the side listlessly, obviously too tired.

Look at the dough they kneaded again, the picture is simply spicy, I saw the messy dough in the small basin hanging horizontally, and there are a few pinched dough dolls next to it, some of them are obviously fat and pinched are also black, that must be Lao Li. Some are obviously white, tall and thin, and that must be themselves. There are also staggering, needless to say that it is Gao Yang and Li Su, Li Ke unconsciously made up his brain.

Because they didn't give Li Su and Gaoyang old noodles and alkaline noodles, they kneaded dead noodles, because this kind of noodles is harder and more resistant to cooking, the taste is strong and chewy, so it is suitable for boiling, branding, frying, fried and other foods, such as dumplings, pies, siu mai, pot stickers, etc.

Li Ke looked at the dough kneaded by Gao Yang and Li Su, feeling helpless in his heart, looking at the "black old Li", Li Ke knew that Gao Yang and Li Su, the two clever ghosts, must not have washed their hands, and the two basins of noodles were scrapped. So Li Ke took away the dough from the basin, then brought new flour, and then said: "This dough you kneaded is too dirty to eat, so you have to knead it again." ”

Gao Yang and Li Su were suddenly displeased, and after the two of them flirted with each other, they said slyly at the same time: "Brother Huang, I'm so tired, can you not knead it, this cake is so difficult to make." As he spoke, he wanted to come up and rub Li Ke's sleeve, looking like a blue thin mushroom.

Li Ke didn't know where they were careful, so he took a big step back to avoid them, and said with a straight face: "If you don't rub it, there will be no food to eat." ”

Helplessly, for the sake of food, the two had to share some flour for each of them and started the journey of kneading clay figures, but Li Ke was also kneading and guiding the kneading skills of the two by Li Su and Gao Yang's side. For example, kneading dough should be kneaded in one direction, so that the dough is easy to get strong and so on

In the end, Gao Yang and Li Su kneaded a smooth little dough, only to see Li Su holding the small dough he kneaded to Li Ke, and said with a smile: "Brother, you see that my dough is kneaded, can you eat scallion pancakes?" ”

Li Ke saw that the two of them were almost kneaded, so he nodded, and was about to take the remaining ingredients to make all kinds of cakes, so he said: "After the dough is placed, take a damp cloth to cover it." And ordered Caiyue outside the door: "Go and bring some ingredients for noon." ”

When he saw Caiyue bring the remaining ingredients at noon, Li Ke frowned, because the most important green onion for making scallion pancakes was not in it, so he asked Caiyue: "Is the shallots used to make dipping dishes at noon gone?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, at noon, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has added a dipping dish many times, and the shallots have been used up, but there are still some green onions left. If Your Highness wants it, the servant will go and fetch it. Caiyue replied.

The green vegetables in the winter of the Tang Dynasty can only be produced in the hot spring area, and he can only get a little bit by relying on the identity of the prince, so it is impossible to find some other green vegetables in the cold winter of the lunar month. Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but be convinced, other people's families have eaten all kinds of smooth meals, how can you eat a scallion pancake without green onions, isn't this a live way to eat instant noodles without seasoning?
