Chapter 4: I Don't Look at You

The method of cool skin is still more complicated, but this is not difficult for Li Yi.

In his previous life, he had stayed in the Guanzhong area for a long time, and not only liked this food, but also learned from the local master for a while.

But when he saw the white noodles at home, he was dumbfounded again.

All you need to make cold skin is all-purpose flour, but the flour at home is milled by an old-fashioned process, and in addition to flour, there is a lot of wheat bran and impurities.

With these things, the utilization rate of flour is not high, and the cold skin made is not strong enough.

At that moment, Li Yi found out the fine radish seeds at home, and then dug out two large bowls of semolina from the vat for filtering!

After filtering, the wheat bran and larger particles in the flour are filtered out, leaving behind all-purpose flour that can be used to make cool skin.

Then add water and dough in a ratio of 2:1 of flour and water, knead into a dough, and let it rest.

The key to making cool skin is to wash the face, that is, to wash the awakened dough in water, the purpose is to wash out the gluten and batter.

This process was very time-consuming and laborious, and it took Li Yi half an hour.

After doing this, let the gluten rise for more than half an hour, filter the batter and let it stand, layer it, and skim off the upper layer of water.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yi found the large iron tea tray at home, brushed the oil, poured in the batter, and then steamed it in the pot, the cold skin was out of the pot for 5 minutes, and the gluten was out of the pot in 10 minutes.

Soon, the dough is out of the pot!

Cut the dough into long strips, tear off a piece and put it in your mouth, slippery Q bomb, and a faint wheat fragrance, one word - cool!

In the following time, Li Yi made all the remaining batter and made a total of 11 doughs.

Whether the cold skin tastes beautiful or not depends on whether the dough is good or not, and on the other hand, it depends on whether the soup is well adjusted.

The cold skin itself has no taste, it provides a texture. Other taste sensations and visual pleasures depend on seasonings and side dishes.

Li Yi searched in the kitchen for a long time, but only found old vinegar and salt, and found nothing else.

Aged vinegar and salt alone obviously couldn't meet Li Yi's requirements, but fortunately, he saw a lot of dried chili peppers hanging on the wall, so Li Yi took off the chili peppers and mashed them, and then made a spicy sauce with oil.

There is no doubt about the importance of chili oil for cool skin, good oil is spicy, ruddy and bright, and the aroma is mellow and mellow.

A bowl of cold skin in front of you, whether it is pleasing to the eye and makes diners move their appetite depends on chili oil.

In addition to doing this, Li Yi came to the vegetable garden in the courtyard, picked a few seasonal fresh vegetables, and washed them as side dishes.

Soon, a pot of Guanzhong Liangpi with full color and fragrance was completed.

It's obviously not enough to eat cold skin alone, think about the famous Sanqin set meal in Guanzhong, in addition to cold skin, there are also meat buns and Bingfeng soda.

Soda is a luxury, there is no way to get it, and there is no meat for meat sandwich buns, but buns can!

Guanzhong's steamed bun is called cake in Li Yi's hometown, and now Li Yi is making dough cakes again!

Compared to making cold skin, pancakes are much simpler, and after a while, a dozen palm-sized white cakes are ready.

Li Yi had just put the last white crust out of the pot when he heard the big yellow dog in the yard suddenly bark, and when he looked up, he found that it was the third sister and Tang Xue who had returned.

It is said that Li Na took Tang Xue around the mountain, enlightened and comforted this best friend who was two years younger than herself, and constantly apologized for her unsuccessful brother, which finally made Tang Xue no longer as sad as before.

Seeing that the sun was already noon, and it was estimated that her parents were about to return from the field, she took Tang Xue home and prepared to make lunch for her parents.

But as soon as I stepped into the courtyard door, I noticed that something was wrong, and I smelled a strange fragrance wafting from a distance, which made people swallow their saliva.

"Xiaoxue, do you smell it, it's so fragrant!"

Tang Xue nodded subconsciously, and then said, "It seems to be the oil smell of the pancakes, and it seems to be mixed with something!" ”

"Is it that my mother is back, she may be worried that your daughter-in-law will be wronged, so she came back early to make you something to eat!" Li Na said.

Hearing the words "daughter-in-law", a trace of pain flashed in Tang Xue's eyes.

Eighteen or nineteen years old is the same age as flowers, and she also fantasizes that one day she can wear a fiery wedding dress and marry her wishful husband.

But she never thought that her wishful husband would be like Li Yi anyway.

Thinking of this, Tang Xue's tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.

But she was stubborn by nature and endured it and didn't let the tears flow.

Li Na on the side also noticed Tang Xue's abnormality, and after scolding the bastard brother again in her heart, she immediately changed the topic and said: "Xiaoxue, don't think too much, let's go into the house and see what delicious food my mother has made for us!" ”

However, when the two entered the house, they were surprised to find that their mother was not in the house, and it was Li Yi who was busy around the stove!

When they saw several large bowls of strange noodles on the kang table and the plate of white cakes with yellowish skin, the two of them widened their eyes.

What kind of person Li Yi is, they all know it.

Although the Li family is a small family, Li Yi is the son of Li Shankui and his wife, and they are very spoiled!

In addition, he has three older sisters, even if the family conditions are not good, Li Yi has not suffered much since he was a child.

Even when he was in a large group a few years ago, Li Yi didn't have to go to the field to earn work, let alone do housework.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Yi has not even washed a pair of socks!

As for cooking and cooking, it used to be the eldest sister Li Mei's business, after the eldest sister got married, it was handed over to the second sister Li Lan, and after the second sister got married, it was now handed over to the third sister Li Na, what Li Yi has to do every day is to go home on time to eat, that's all.

"Xiao Yi... Did you do all this? Li Na asked in surprise.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, try my craft!" ”

Li Na took Tang Xue's hand, came to the kang table and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Xiao Yi, what are you doing, it looks very good, and it smells very good, but I don't know if it's delicious or not!" ”

Without waiting for Li Yi to answer, Tang Xue whispered: "This seems to be our cool skin!" ”

Li Yi immediately said: "It's cool skin!" ”

As he was talking, a bell sounded in the yard, and then he saw Li Shankui and his wife driving the mule cart into the yard.

Li Shankui skillfully unloaded the truck, drank the livestock, and fed the grass, while Zhang Yuehong put the hoe away, went into the house to wash her hands, and prepared to help cook.

When she saw the cold skin and white skin cake on the kang table, she immediately said to Li Na: "Nana, why don't you take out that piece of pickled pork and fry it for Xiaoxue to replenish her body?" ”

Li Na hurriedly said, "Mom, I didn't make today's meal..."

"You kid, Xiaoxue hasn't married into our family yet, why did you let people cook..."

Without waiting for her mother to finish speaking, Li Na hurriedly explained: "It's not Xiaoxue's doing, let's tell you the truth, it's all done by your son!" ”

"Xiao Yi... How is this possible..."

At this time, Li Shankui also settled the big red mule at home and walked in, and when he heard Zhang Yuehong's words, he immediately asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Son, father, Nana said that the rice on this table was made by Xiao Yi!"

Li Shankui looked at the food on the table and was stunned, and then frowned and said, "Did you kid buy it from outside, don't spend this unjust money in the future?" ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "My father, you first see what kind of food this is before you speak!" ”

Then Li Yi said again: "This is called Liangpi, which belongs to the specialty of Qin Province, don't say that my pocket is cleaner than my face now, even if I have money, I don't sell it in our county!" ”

"Humph!"

Li Shankui's expression on his face, I believe that you are a ghost, only saw Li Yi's face embarrassed!

He didn't know what kind of virtue his son had, and even if he was given a piece of meat, he might not be able to cook it, and he would be able to make such a beautiful meal, unless the sun came up from the west.

Zhang Yuehong was afraid that the two of them would pick up the cow again, so she hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Okay, don't talk about it, hurry up and taste whether this food is delicious!" ”

Then, under Zhang Yuehong's greeting, all five members of the family went to the table, and then each picked up a large enamel bowl and ate it.

The fiery spicy seeds fully open the taste buds, and the cool and smooth cool skin drives away the heat!

The first time I ate cold skin, whether it was Li Shankui and his wife or Li Na, they almost swallowed their tongues, it was so delicious.

Even Tang Xue, who lives in Qin Province, feels that the cool skin made by Li Yi is more authentic than many masters, and he has eaten a big bowl.

"So you really made this thing?" Li Shankui asked with a puzzled face.

"I made it, how does it taste?"

"Well, it's okay!"

Seeing her father's inconsistent expression, Li Na tilted her mouth and said, "What do you mean it's okay, this is cool... The cold skin is so delicious, with my brother's craft, even if he goes to the county to set up a stall, he can support himself! ”

When Li Yi heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have found the password to open the door to wealth.
