Chapter 107: Pancake Pancake!

(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) )

To say that in addition to studying history in Xie Shen's previous life, he also had a hobby, that is, cooking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, Xie Shen mostly cooks some delicious home-cooked food, although it can't be compared with top chefs, but he is also well-known in the circle of relatives and friends.

Now that he has come to the Ming Dynasty, if he doesn't show these skills, he really feels a little itchy in his heart.

As for whether to immediately put in and turn output into output and open a restaurant, Xie Shen has not yet thought about it.

First, the investment in opening a restaurant is too large, and he does not have so much cash. Second, he was not sure whether the dishes he made were in line with the tastes of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, after hundreds of years, if you blindly open a restaurant, you will end up with a lot of doors, and there will be no diners to come, it will be a big loss.

Xie Shen is a scholar, and the biggest advantage of a scholar is that he is calculating.

Even if he really decides to open a restaurant, he will first test the water in a small area to see how the response is, rather than blindly investing money.

Of course, he also needs to find a group of excellent cooks, who must not only be skilled and good at learning, but more importantly, have good character.

There is nothing special about the dishes that Xie Shen mastered, and it is very easy to be imitated. Therefore, he needs to ensure that the chefs he hires are loyal enough, otherwise if the chefs are poached by his peers at a high price, he will lose his blood.

Sometimes Xie Shen feels that cooking and reading are similar, and they both need to be calm and concentrated, so that they are in the best state not to be disturbed by the outside world.

Little Lori followed Xie Shen to the East Kitchen, staring at Xie Shen with a smile, her eyes rolling slightly.

"I didn't expect my son to cook, so I have to study hard."

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and said with a faint smile: "Then you can see, this is my exclusive secret, I don't tell ...... ordinary people."

Little Lori pursed her mouth and snorted: "Childe is really stingy, isn't it just a dish, it's like giving a great favor to others." ”

Xie Shen was angry and laughed in his heart, he didn't see her tsundere when he just took in Little Lori, he could only say that Little Lori had a deep routine.

Xie Shen walked into the east kitchen, bent down in front of the stove to take some firewood, threw it into the stove, and then lit the stove.

Then he poured the flour into a basin and poured some water into the batter.

Little Lori stared at Xie Shen curiously and didn't say a word. Maybe in her opinion, a scholar like Xie Shen must have never even entered the East Kitchen. She was a little surprised to see the young man so skillful in cooking.

What Xie Shen wants to do is nothing else, it is pancake fruit!

This may be an ordinary breakfast for ordinary people in later generations, but it is an absolute novelty dish in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Xie Shen is not sure whether the taste of the pancake fruit is suitable for the taste of the people of the Ming Dynasty, this first step is always to be taken, and the big deal is to let the little Lori Er Ya be the diner to try it.

It's just that there is a problem that is a little tricky, pancakes and fruits are generally made in a frying pan, but now the big iron pan in Xie's room is a standard round pan. This will make the pancakes spread out of different thicknesses, although it does not affect the consumption, but the appearance will be worse.

Xie Shen sighed in his heart, and he couldn't take care of it much at the moment, so he still had to make the pancakes first.

Scooping a spoonful of batter, Xie Shen skillfully poured it into the iron pot, and then flattened the batter with a wooden spatula, silently remembering the time in his heart.

Spreading pancakes seems simple, but there are many mysteries in it. Taking the composition of batter as an example, the ratio of beans, flour, and water is different, and the viscosity of the prepared batter will be very different, and the natural soft and hard taste of the pancakes will be different.

Of course, now Xie Shen has temporarily started to spread pancakes, using only white flour and not adding ground beans, and its taste may be a little simpler.

Xie Shen himself prefers crispy pancakes, of course, if the people of Jiangnan prefer soft pancakes, he can also adjust them slightly.

Another thing that needs to be paid attention to is the mastery of the heat when spreading pancakes. In the Ming Dynasty, firewood was burned to cook rice, and the temperature of the fire was not easy to control, so it tested the skills of the pancake stall people. If the heat is not well controlled, it will be a waste of baking cakes.

Xie Shen's attention at the moment was focused on the pancakes, and he didn't dare to be distracted for a moment. After a few dozen seconds of silent thought, he carefully turned the pancake over with a wooden shovel.

Call!

Xie Shen let out a sigh of relief and smiled proudly at Little Lori.

Although he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, his craftsmanship is still there, and it has not been left behind.

After another few dozen seconds, Xie Shen took a raw egg and broke it, and beat the egg with egg white and egg liquid on top of the pancake.

Since he didn't have professional tools, Xie Shen had to reluctantly continue to spread the egg mixture with a wooden shovel.

Little Lori was dumbfounded now.

Childe poured the batter into the pot and spread it before, but it was nothing. But what kind of method is pouring eggs into it?

People say that if you don't go out, you will know the world. Could it be that the son learned to cook in his sleep?

It's not complicated to make pancakes, but it's not an idea that anyone can think of.

It's no wonder that little Lori was surprised, empathy, if Xie Shen was the second girl, she would definitely be surprised.

Looking at a chef's level of cooking, it is not to see how well he cooks, but to see whether he can use the simplest ingredients to make mouth-watering and irresistible deliciousness.

It's like a common egg fried rice, different people will make different styles when they make it.

The same is true for pancake fruit. The only problem now is that the pancakes don't go well with fritters......

Xie Shen put the pancakes on the plate with some helplessness and said with a wry smile; "This pancake isn't the final touch, but you can taste it first."

Xie Shen was not sure that the Ming Dynasty would appear at this time, so he could come and inquire about it. The frying process is very simple, but it is a little tired, so it is a big deal to hire some people to do it yourself.

Little Lori took the plate, carefully picked up a piece of pancake with chopsticks, and put it in her mouth to chew slowly.

Xie Shen almost laughed out loud when he saw her eating pancakes.

It seems that if he really wants to deal with pancakes, the first thing he needs is to popularize the way to eat them.

Otherwise, if they are all eating pancakes like little Lori, the feeling of fullness in the mouth will not be able to be experienced.

"Childe, this cake, this cake tastes good..... Fragrant! ”

Little Lori was rarely shy, which made Xie Shen stunned.

It seems that Xie Shen's worries about the tastes of the people of the Ming Dynasty are superfluous, and pancakes can indeed be promoted in Jiangnan.
