Chapter 43: Flickering

As it turned out, Chef Zheng's dilemma was not a threat at all.

After Ivan and Tie Niu had processed the fish that Chef Zheng needed for noon, Dong Xiaowan came to the kitchen again.

Chef Zheng greeted him with a smile: "Miss Dong......"

"Master Zheng, I'll come to Derpy and ask him to help me rub it. ”

"Okay, this is a trivial matter, you just call him. ”

Chef Zheng promised Dong Xiaowan and scolded Ivan: "Derpy, go quickly, and listen carefully to Miss Dong's orders." ”

Ivan: "......"

Didn't you say it before, without your permission......

Alas, three knives on both sides.

Typical villainous behavior.

He can be regarded as having a clear understanding of Chef Zheng.

However, in his opinion, the cheap master in the mission is an inconsequential passer-by.

So, he immediately left him behind.

For him, now in the dungeon, the first task is to develop new products, and then help Dong Xiaowan get out of trouble.

As for the proficiency of the water platform for killing fish and practicing knife work, it has become the norm step by step.

After following Dong Xiaowan back to Wanlou, Ivan began to get busy again.

The first is noodles.

"Derpy, do you want to boil flour for noodles?"

"Oh, no, just boil a pot of boiling water. ”

Ivan only then remembered that there was another surprise that he hadn't had time to tell Dong Xiaowan today.

With ready-made flour and mung bean flour, the production of crystal dough becomes simple, just mix the flour and mung bean flour in a ratio of 8:3 and knead the dough with boiling water.

It saves at least 90 percent of the trouble compared to before.

Dong Xiaowan was a little puzzled.

"Don't you boil clear noodles, don't you make crystal dough?"

"Yes, of course I have to do it, but today I brought the baby here. ”

Ivan pointed to two bags of powder, one large and one small, opened the mouth of the bag, and began to pour powder into the basin with a measuring device.

"What is this?"

"The boiled flour and mung bean flour are the treasures I brought back from the West. ”

Ivan threw the pot to the West again.

Dong Xiaowan: "......"

Are there really so many treasures in the West? Even the flour and mung bean flour have been boiled?

But not to mention, if this crystal dough is popular in Jinling, this boiled flour and mung bean flour are indeed a business.

The price can definitely be extremely expensive!

Because he has already experienced the trouble of boiling Cheng noodles and mung bean noodles, in Dong Xiaowan's opinion, this is indeed a treasure.

And in this way, the business of crystal dumplings and crystal buns is much easier.

She was just a little puzzled, how many treasures did Derpy bring back from the West?

Could it be that his Western tricks are really so powerful?

This is an era when mathematics, physics and chemistry have not yet started, even in the West, the knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry has only just begun to sprout, so Ivan's obviously contrary to common sense lies have a huge space for survival, and even educated people like Dong Xiaowan believe it.

Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, when science was quite developed, there were still a lot of people who believed in such mysterious things as qigong masters.

After a busy time, a ball of crystal dough appeared in front of Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan pressed it in disbelief, and the texture was indeed similar to yesterday's crystal dough, and even a little better.

It's so hassle-free!

She was just a little puzzled: "How can you be in such a big group?"

"Oh, I made the noodles for making crystal buns at night. ”

Dong Xiaowan was even more puzzled, her eyes widened and she asked, "Didn't you say that it tastes best to start rolling out the dough about a moment after the dough is reconciled?"

Ivan smiled.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about this, I have a way. ”

Of course he has a way.

The storage space of the system is equivalent to a permanent fresh-keeping box for food and ingredients, and as long as you pay points, the food stored in it will never spoil.

In this case, of course, he has to save a little trouble, and when the dough is finished, he will be fine if he directly throws the system space.

Anyway, he has already paid for today's space usage fee, so there is no need to use it in vain.

Looking at Dong Xiaowan's puzzled face, he liked this feeling a little.

This is a kind of pleasure that after molesting the little girl, the little girl still adores you.

"Alright, it's time to mix the stuffing, take out the shrimp slip and jelly. ”

Ivan quickly returned to business.

He began to seriously consider the preparation of the filling.

Although the crystal shrimp dumplings are called shrimp dumplings, the filling inside is not only shrimp meat or shrimp slippery, even the crystal shrimp dumplings of Guangdong Hotel are also filled with meat in the shrimp grains.

This is because the sweetness of pork has the effect of enhancing freshness and making shrimp meat more delicious.

Not only that, the texture of shrimp meat is harder, while pork's texture is softer, and when the two are mixed together, the texture of the stuffed meat becomes richer.

Therefore, the filling of this crystal shrimp dumpling and the pork filling must still be added.

But what is the right proportion?

According to the practice of Guangdong crystal shrimp dumplings, the ratio of shrimp meat to pork is two to one.

Or do you refer to that ratio?

Ivan immediately abandoned the idea.

The meat filling is to be added, but his shrimp dumplings have changed the shrimp grains to shrimp slippery, and he will also add skin jelly, so that whether it is to improve the freshness or enrich the taste, the meat filling cannot be added so much.

This is a shrimp dumpling that sells at a sky-high price, and the important selling point is the first-class shrimp filling.

Then halve it again!

The amount of jelly is also halved!

Ivan soon had a decision.

He took matters into his own hands by mixing the shrimp slippery, jelly and minced meat, then added minced ginger and chives and began to stir.

Soon after, five balls of finished shrimp with different amounts of salt were completed.

It seems like a good idea.

Even Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but say: "I'm already drooling a little, and I can't wait to taste the taste of them after steaming." ”

Ivan couldn't help but be happy again.

At this moment, Dong Xiaowan showed her qualified foodie side.

"Then let's start making dumplings. ”

Ivan looked at the incense stick that Xiao Cui had lit to keep time, and couldn't help but wonder again, should I bring another clock next time?

This method of timekeeping is a bit too rudimentary!

And for delicious cooking, when the chef's own heat control has not reached a very high level, the timer has become an essential tool.

A timer is necessary.

However, having a clock needs to be considered.

When he read the information last night and fabricated the background of his returnees, he saw that in 1601, Matteo Ricci, a missionary from Italy, brought a chiming clock (mechanical clock) and dedicated it to the Wanli Emperor as a treasure, which made the Wanli Emperor very fond of it.

In this way, the chiming bell is definitely a treasure in this era.

And modern timepieces, even retro mechanical clocks, should be far more refined than the chiming clocks of this era, right?

Alas, forget it.

Bring a few hourglasses that are precisely timed!

Ivan began to roll out the dough and cooperated with Dong Xiaowan to wrap dumplings.

He's looking forward to it.

What kind of results will you get when you make your own delicious food for the first time?
