Chapter 276 Face, Not Face III
But just as Jiang Yunfeng sat down, before he could flip the potato, Xingping Chuangzhen returned to the main venue with a snowflake. "Coming back so soon? I remember that it was more than 30 kilometers away from the city. ”
Kohei Chuangzhen shook off the snowflakes all over his body, and replied helplessly, "It's snowing outside, and all the vehicles are being driven away." Walking to the city is tantamount to suicide, not to mention how much time it takes to go back and forth, and the field and I will freeze to death halfway down the road. ”
"So what now? The remaining flour is not enough to make noodles. Jiang Yunfeng stirred the potatoes on the stove to prevent them from being scorched by the flames.
"There it is!" Kohei Soma saw the potatoes in the flames and remembered something, and looked at Megumi Tanzo beside him and smiled, "Since there is no flour, then we will use potatoes!" ”
"Huh?"
。。。
In the VIP lounge of the manor, the chief examiner Endo shook the red wine glass in his hand elegantly, and the red wine reflected his gloomy and treacherous face. Yin Yin sneered and muttered to himself, "When I first heard that the rebels passed the first test, I still didn't believe my ears. It seems that it is still very easy to deal with them now, and I would like to thank Mr. Hiroi for the information. He raised his glass to the blizzard outside the window, took a sip and said, "Farewell~ Rebels!" The glory of the central gastronomy institution will last forever!! ”
The internal phone on the table rang, Endo frowned, picked up the microphone and put it to his ear, and said unhappily, "I didn't say it!" Don't bother me until the end of the assessment time!! ”
On the phone, the invigilator of the other venue said in a panic, "Lecturer Endo. For it, we've checked the ingredients again and again, and there are no extra residues. But for some reason ... The rebels are almost finished with all kinds of noodle dishes. Anyway, please get to the scene immediately! ”
"What!! Isn't there a little bit of flour missing? Why are they still able to finish cooking!! ”
"I... I.... I don't know.. ”
"Idiot!! Idiot!! Rubbish!! Do you answer anything else about me besides I don't know? Endo angrily snapped the microphone back to the landline, and didn't care about the wine glass and the red wine spilled on the expensive carpet, and ran out of the VIP lounge.
Some of the rebels in Venues A and B are making noodles, and some have already finished making noodles and are focusing on soup bases. And just when Endo was at a loss for what to do with the situation in front of him, a staff member came up to him and whispered in his ear, "Endo-sensei, it's terrible." Even the rebels at venue C are making noodles. ”
"What~~~!!" Endo couldn't believe his ears, grabbed the collar of the suit that came, and said angrily, "In this snowstorm, there is not a single bit of flour, you tell me!" How exactly do they make their noodles? ”
"Subordinate... Ignorance... ”
。。。
Kohei Soma, who was wearing a headband and apron, saw the examiner Endo walk in with a shocked face, and couldn't help but joke, "Endo-sensei, your expression is funny." If you're really going to weed us out, then... "Grab something from the cooking table and show it" Don't let this thing appear in the venue. ”
"Potatoes?"
"That's right!" Kohei Sokuma shook the potatoes in his hand and said, "Heavy snow udon noodles are a family dish that people make in the remote Achi region of Hokkaido when the mountains are closed by heavy snow and the traffic is cut off. The main ingredient of the noodles is this - baron potatoes with a starch content of up to 95%. Of course, the viscosity of potato starch alone is enough, but the taste is insufficient. Therefore, we need to mix in the right amount of flour, but now there is not enough flour and soba noodles, so we plan to use Yamaji mushroom powder to increase the texture of potato udon. Finish! ”
Kohei Soma and Tanzo Megumi each held their own 'big dough'. Endo calmed down when he saw the materials they were using. I was really careless and ignored potatoes, a highly malleable ingredient. But so what, even if they finish it, it's just a 'simple and bland vegetarian udon' dish that I would never agree with!
"True. What about me? What should I use to enhance the texture of my potatoes? Jiang Yunfeng weakly raised his hand and asked.
Kohei Chuangzhen looked at the empty bag of Shanci mushroom powder, and replied embarrassedly, "Uh... It seems that there are no other raw materials. ”
"I'll it! Create a real pit for you!! Jiang Yunfeng picked out the roasted potatoes from the fire, turned around and ran out. Erina Nagikiri, who was carefully putting the finishing touches on her ramen, suddenly felt a darkness in front of her, and she saw the blue corners of her hospital gown, and she didn't need to look up to know who it was, and asked, "What are you doing, what do you have to say?" ”
"That... Miss, can you give me an egg, it's really good. ”
"Take it yourself."
"Thank you." Jiang Yunfeng grabbed an egg from Erina's table, turned around and ran. "There you have, there you have it!" Running back to the branch venue where he was, Kohei Soma and Megumi Tazo had already presented their udon noodles to Endo for tasting.
Seeing Endo's deflated face, he knew that he must have passed. Jiang Yunfeng grabbed the cooked potatoes on the table, peeled off the burnt skin and mashed them into powder in a large bowl. Since the potatoes are cooked directly over an open flame, the moisture content is very low, and they cannot be kneaded well into balls.
So Jiang Yunfeng offered an egg that he begged from Erina Nagikiri, beat it into the mashed potatoes and stirred evenly, and then whipped hard clockwise to make the mashed potatoes strong, so that they could be dough into dough. Transfer to the counter and rub your hands vigorously to squeeze out the excess water, compact, pat the dry powder and fold the noodles.
Pick one up and put it in the soup pot and blanch it, and it doesn't fall out. Jiang Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction. The eggs worked, and the egg whites managed to bind the loose potato starch tightly together so that the noodles didn't melt in the soup pot. Pick up the market and take a bite, no! Although they are not scattered in the soup pot, the potato noodles that are solidified and aggregated by egg whites alone are too fluffy and do not have a springy texture.
The burden on his body that had been aggravated by the running just now, and a wave of dizziness hit Jiang Yunfeng so that Jiang Yunfeng had to sit down and rest. What to do? What ingredients should be used to add a springy texture to the soft potato noodles? The predicament he is facing now is very similar to what he encountered when he took the special chef exam in Guangzhou in the previous animation of "Little Master of China". With a flash of inspiration in his head, he raised his head and said hurriedly, "Chuangzhen, do you usually bring anything that you usually bring with you as snacks today?" ”
"Did you say dried squid? Brought just not much. Kohei Soma immediately took out an object wrapped in newspaper from his coat pocket and handed it over. Jiang Yunfeng caught it and opened it, and there was a large squid that had been dried quietly, and the white powder condensed on the surface was monosodium glutamate (the main ingredient of monosodium glutamate).
"Hehe, that's enough. This time not only solved the problem of taste, but also solved the problem of umami by the way... (To be continued)
