Even Ivan didn't expect the opportunity to come so suddenly.

In Chef Zheng's eyes, he is a dispensable chef's new apprentice, as soon as Dong Xiaowan opened his mouth, Chef Zheng was a little displeased that Ivan stole the limelight, but he still waved his hand: "Derpy, you listen to Miss Dong, you will do whatever she tells you to do!"

The tone was impatient.

Ivan was a little speechless.

I told you your name, and you just screamed like that?

However, in his eyes, Chef Zheng is an NPC with a bad attitude but inconsequential, so he didn't bother to care about his attitude, but happily followed Dong Xiaowan.

The Qin Tower is huge!

In Ivan's impression, the Qin Tower should be a building, with a hall downstairs and a room upstairs, with each young lady occupying one room, and then ......

But this is not the case.

Qinlou is a large garden near the river, the main building is on the Qinhuai River, and then there are many annexes and courtyards around.

Dong Xiaowan lives in Nanyuan.

Because he is a celebrity in Qinlou, Dong Xiaowan not only has maids to wait, but also lives alone in a delicate small building.

Ivan had to sigh, it seems that even in the Ming Dynasty, once the entertainment industry has reached the extreme, it is also very high-grade.

"Derpy, what's your name?"

"Ivan. ”

"I'll call you Derpy. ”

Ivan: "......"

You're a little unkind NPC girl, too!

"Derpy, have you ever read?"

"Read a little. ”

"Do you know poetry?"

"No, it won't. ”

He doesn't even know poetry!

This made Dong Xiaowan a little disappointed.

In the comments just now, Ivan behaved like a well-educated person, which made her look forward to it.

She admires talented people who read poetry and books.

Because of her disappointment, she asked directly about her cooking skills: "How to make the crystal dough you just said?"

This question made Ivan struggle a little.

It stands to reason that if he holds the principle of equivalent exchange, then he must first mention the request to learn to fill soup dumplings.

But is that really good?

Ivan gave up on the idea, and he decided to take a gamble.

In his opinion, the exquisite-looking Dong Xiaowan in front of him is still a little girl who has not grown up, and she should not have learned too much about philistine and cunning, even if she is in a complex place like the Qinglou.

He trusts his feelings.

"Do you have potato flour here?"

There are many ways to make crystal dough, and the most commonly used in later generations is to use flour and corn starch, that is, gluten-free flour and potato flour.

Dong Xiaowan shook her head: "What is a potato?"

"Potatoes?"

Dong Xiaowan shook her head again.

"Artichoke?"

"Oh, I've heard of this, but I haven't in Jinling. ”

Ivan: "......"

That's trouble.

It seems that there is only an alternative.

"Do you have mung bean flour?"

"I can ask the girl to take the mung beans to the mill and grind some of them. ”

Ivan could only accept this offer.

It's just that in this way, he will have some trouble doing it.

It takes time for the mung bean flour to be ground back, and taking advantage of this gap, Ivan began to probe: "Miss Dong, can you teach me how to make soup dumplings?"

"Yes, you can follow me a few times!"

Happiness came so suddenly that Ivan couldn't believe it.

Didn't Chef Zheng even keep the secret recipe for marinating squirrel fish secret? How dare Dong Xiaowan tell me the method of filling soup dumplings so easily?

"Aren't you worried that Chef Zheng will say that you leaked your cooking secrets?"

"Oh, I just learned from him how to make dim sum and steamed buns, and I read in a book that someone in the Song Dynasty made it, so I tried to make it myself. ”

Ivan: "......"

Well, it's no wonder that he can become one of the top ten famous ancient chefs in history, at a young age, just by reading the recipe in the book, he can try to make a high-quality soup dumpling, it seems that he is indeed talented in cooking.

Alas, what an enviable girl!

However, he was also sure that his learning task of filling soup dumplings fell on Dong Xiaowan, and it had nothing to do with Chef Zheng's cheap master's half a dime.

Alas, this task is full of pits!

If you're not careful, you'll get into it.

Derpy is in a daze again!

Dong Xiaowan looked at Ivan curiously, she felt that the person in front of her was a little strange.

Judging by his speech and demeanor, he really looks like a well-informed man, although he claims to be ignorant of poetry, but it still makes her feel good.

Moreover, she also noticed that he seemed to be obsessed with cooking.

As obsessed as she is!

This made Dong Xiaowan have a little more affection for Ivan.

In this case, while you are free now, let's talk to him about the practice of filling soup dumplings!

"If you want to learn to make soup dumplings, you have to make skin jelly first, and the method of skin jelly is a little complicated......"

The key to filling soup dumplings is the skin jelly, a good skin jelly, after being steamed in the bun with a small pot over a strong fire, will become a sweet and mellow soup.

The key to the good taste of Dong Xiaowan's soup dumplings lies in the unique method of skin jelly.

Everyone can make jelly, but it is not easy to make something special.

Dong Xiaowan's secret is that she first boils the juice with shiitake mushrooms, and after the mushroom juice is boiled, she uses it to add ginger, onions, garlic, white pepper and other ingredients to boil fresh pork skin.

Of course, there are many steps and exquisiteness in the specific boiling process.

"It is best to choose tender pork skin under 150 catties of pork skin, and before boiling, the pig skin must be cooked first, and then the fat meat should be removed. ”

"After the meat skin soup is boiled, the skin is strained off with a clean silk cloth, then put into a container, and ice it with well water overnight. ”

......

Dong Xiaowan spoke in great detail, the amount of materials used, the order of boiling, precautions, etc., were all explained very thoroughly.

After making sure that Ivan had written it down, she moved on to the meat filling and dough practices.

"Tender pork with meat filling must also be selected, and the pork belly with the waist and ribs tastes the best, and the fat and lean ratio is 28 oily but not greasy. ”

"It is best to use the finest flour from SX Guanzhong, half of the flour is mixed with cold water, half with warm water, and then kneaded together for half an hour, so that the dough tastes the best. ”

......

After Dong Xiaowan finished speaking, Ivan crossed his fingers and calculated, this soup dumpling was completely done, and there were as many as thirteen processes before and after, and the materials were also quite exquisite.

No wonder it's a top food!

This is definitely a conscience food made with excellence and heart!

As soon as he did this, he immediately received a prompt from the system in his consciousness: "Congratulations to the host, the learning of the soup dumpling xiaolongbao method has been completed." ”

Then, the recipe and complete production process of soup dumplings came to his mind, and it seemed that this practice had become his inherent skill.

Ivan: "......"

This happiness came too suddenly, didn't it?

So that you have learned?

I just listened to Dong Xiaowan say it again!

It seems that the key to the completion of this task lies in the method and know-how, not in the process!

Also, the system is really powerful, and as soon as he learned how to make it, the system solidified it into his skill.

Ivan felt that now as long as he got the ingredients together, he could make delicious soup dumplings.

In this case, the only thing left to complete this task is the proficiency of the water platform skills, right?

Ivan went into a stupor again.

......

His thoughts were quickly interrupted by outsiders.

"Xiao Wan, come on, Ximen asks for a lot of money. ”

When he came to his senses, he found that a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup was standing in front of him, asking Dong Xiaowan: "Who is this man?"

Ivan: "......"

The bustard is coming?
