Chapter 45: The Fragrance Scatters

"Fetch water?"

Looking at the meat filling in front of her, Wei Zhenzhen showed a trace of puzzlement, and was a little puzzled by the cooking skills that Zhao Youqian said.

"Is it just water in the minced meat? What's the use of this? ”

Wei Zhenzhen didn't understand this kind of cooking skill, which is also very normal, after all, this technique is not so critical for people who are still in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In this generation, most people can't even eat three meals a day, and most of them still retain the tradition of skipping lunch for the sake of nourishment, but in fact there is not so much food to eat.

Wei Zhenzhen showed her talent in the white case, and only because she used staple foods such as flour and grains the most, in order to make her family eat more happily, she put more thought into it.

She still has little knowledge of the production technology of conditioning the minced meat.

Zhao Youqian was not surprised, and explained to Wei Zhenzhen the usefulness of these techniques little by little, including the method of removing the fishy smell, why the water should be drawn in stages, and why it should be stirred in one direction to integrate the water into the meat filling.

It's just that these things don't have much real feeling, and you have to really taste them to understand the usefulness of these cooking techniques.

So every chef is going to be a good gourmet, which is corresponding, if you don't even know what a dish is basically, how do you go about cooking a good meal?

This is called aesthetic need.

Zhao Youqian informed Wei Zhenzhen of the techniques of these dishes, and on the other hand, he also prepared to let her know the source of these flavors when she tasted the taste of the dishes, so as to deepen a deep understanding in her heart and have an understanding of the basic principles of cooking.

Knowing what is salty, what is sweet, what is strong, and what is light, these are all things that can only be slowly cultivated after letting her taste the benchmark while teaching, and this is the reason why Zhao Youqian will stay by Wei Zhenzhen's side for two more days.

Otherwise, just some basic skills, he could directly use his divine sense to transmit information and imprint it in Wei Zhenzhen's mind, why waste time on Lushui's side?

"These things, you have to study and taste to understand, today you first taste this kind of half-baked steamed buns and ordinary steamed buns, and then taste the difference between the steamed buns I made and the ones you made."

"This is an area that you are familiar with, and from this aspect, slowly lay the foundation for your cooking system, so that you can better accept and learn a new world of cooking."

Since Zhao Youqian recognized Wei Zhenzhen as a registered disciple, he naturally taught very carefully.

"It's not that the foundation is too vain, and when the time comes, I feel that the concept is out of line if I want to learn other things."

While talking to Wei Zhenzhen, Zhao Youqian's hand did not stop, a rolling pin of Sun Erniang had already been almost forgotten by him, and taking it out at this time also opened Wei Zhenzhen's eyes.

It's like turning a rolling pin around a dough.

Soon the dough was stacked like a small mountain, and Wei Zhenzhen felt that her hands and feet were already clever, and they were dwarfed by Zhao Youqian's fast hand speed here.

Although he learned the art of cooking, Wei Zhenzhen did not underestimate Zhao Youqian's thoughts, after all, he had personally experienced the power of the primary ritual, as well as all the incredible magic that Zhao Youqian had shown.

So for Zhao Youqian's actions, she also took every point to heart, and ordinary people would only feel incredible if they saw Zhao Youqian's face turned around like this, but Wei Zhenzhen, who had already received some basic cooking teaching, understood that this was a key point that Zhao Youqian was showing him the white case.

How to exert force!

With the rolling pin as the center, rotate it once, just use the fingers to exert force, and then directly press the dough, which means that Zhao Youqian has completed the action of rolling the dough with only the power of his fingers and the power of rotation.

The light strength is not even greater than Wei Zhenzhen's lifting arm, which also makes Wei Zhenzhen realize many things.

Zhao Youqian also put these things in her heart, and she was quite satisfied with such a registered disciple she had temporarily accepted.

Sure enough, the talented ones are different, unlike someone who has been taught systematically several times, and still looks stupid.

Shang Xiuxun suddenly noticed that a gaze fell on him, but when he swept over again, he didn't find anything, so he had to scratch his head and watch Zhao Youqian continue to finish the bun.

Because it is a water filling with a lot of broth, it is necessary to use the form of plucking the meat filling to the dough, put the dough close to the edge of the meat filling, and then use a chopstick to pick up the meat filling a few times, and pluck a part of the meat filling to the dough.

As the meat filling reached the dough, Zhao Youqian's hand was slightly inverted in the middle, and the five fingers on the outside were topped, wrapping the filling in the middle of the dough, and then he used his hand to close the mouth in one direction and pinch the folds.

Soon, a round bun the size of an adult's palm was completed and appeared in front of Shang Xiuxun and Wei Zhenzhen.

It also made Wei Zhenzhen's eyes brighter and brighter, and she saw many available tips.

However, Zhao Youqian knew that these tips were not critical, they were not the focus of his teaching this time, and these things could also be summarized in Wei Zhenzhen's future learning process, so his movements were very coherent and he did not stop to explain.

A pile of dough and a pot of minced meat quickly turned into plump buns and placed on top of the steamer.

At this time, there was no boiling water, because Zhao Youqian prepared the steamed buns and steamed buns out of the pot together, and the steamed dough with the old noodles had been completely put in place at this time.

Put the buns on the steamer, sprinkle some dry flour slightly to prevent sticking, and then Zhao Youqian opened the covered wooden basin and put the dough inside in front of Wei Zhenzhen.

At this time, the dough, which originally occupied only one-third of the wooden basin, has completely risen, not only occupying the entire wooden basin, but also countless small holes have appeared on the smooth dough, which is the evidence that it has been completely fermented, showing a honeycomb state.

With a slight sour aroma of fruit wine, Zhao Youqian's hands were dipped in some dry flour, and then all the dough in the wooden basin was dug out, and after being stirred by the rolling pin again, and blessed by the kitchenware, it was even more sobering and expanded.

The dough of this steamed bun is completely completed, and all the tiny pores are kneaded again to form a smooth dough, and then divided into dough one by one and placed on the steamer.

When the water boils, put the half-baked buns on the bottom layer, and put the steamed buns on the top layer, and soon the aroma of flour being scalded by steam spreads.

It also aroused the interest of boaters on the Lushui River...
