Chapter 116: Four Joys Steamed Dumplings
Gao Dian began to knead the dough, and under the eyes of many people, Gao Dian was still a little nervous in his heart.
It was the first time he was making pastry in front of so many people, and it was impossible not to be nervous.
But Gao Dian belongs to the kind of person who is more nervous and easier to enter the state, and he gradually enters a state of concentration.
The old men sitting on the judges' bench looked around.
Most of the people who came to participate in the competition, although they claimed to be geniuses, but most of these geniuses could not be in their eyes.
They have seen a lot of geniuses over the years, and even they themselves were famous geniuses back then. It's a pity that very few geniuses can go to the end, and many geniuses are stuck in a certain step and have not made progress in their lives.
What they are looking for is someone who can surprise them, someone who can make their eyes shine.
In the past two days, I have seen some, but there are not many of them.
Suddenly, an old man said, "Huh? actually entered a state of concentration in the game, this kid has a big heart. ”
"Where? Let me see. ”
"It's really good, many people are nervous and can't play their original strength, but he can get into a state of concentration."
"What's this boy's name?"
"I don't know, I'll find out if I ask later."
……
The old man's gaze didn't stay on Gao Dian for too long, just a state of concentration, not worth making a fuss about.
It's just that in this situation, they can still get into a state of concentration and let them praise.
Zhang Lan couldn't figure out what pastry Gao Dian was going to make, and she didn't have so much time to think about it, the Sixi steamed dumplings she wanted to make were not so simple.
Sixi steamed dumplings are very different from ordinary dumplings, just the appearance, they are completely different from ordinary dumplings.
Ordinary dumplings are completely wrapped in the filling by the skin, and there is no leakage at all; Sixi steamed dumplings are half wrapped and half dewed.
The production of Sixi steamed dumplings is, simply put: a dumpling skin is kneaded into the shape of "Tian", with four cavities; Season the four ingredients of different colors separately and put them into four cavities; Finally, it can be steamed in a pot.
It's easy to say, but it's actually quite complicated.
First of all, it is difficult to pinch the dumpling skin into the shape of the word "Tian", it is not difficult to knead, but it is difficult to pinch it beautifully.
Secondly, there is a great deal of attention to the selection and seasoning of ingredients with different colors.
The four ingredients should be considered whether they will be toxic when eaten together, and how the taste and flavor will affect each other.
After all, Sixi steamed dumplings are not four steamed dumplings, Sixi steamed dumplings are one, and what you eat is not only the appearance, but also the collision between the four ingredients.
All in all, it's a very difficult pastry.
Zhang Lan can do it, and it is her specialty, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
There are a lot of eyes that pay attention to the two, most of them are concerned about Zhang Lan, and they have nothing to do with Gao Dian.
As time passed, the pastries made by the two of them were also baked.
When Zhang Lan looked at the pastry made by Gao Dian, she couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw a few big white flour steamed buns piled up on Gao Dian's plate, steaming.
This...... It's too simple!
It's not that you have to make complicated pastries, there is no such rule, and it is the freedom of every pastry chef to make pastry.
However, most of the pastry chefs who participate in the competition choose to make relatively complex pastries.
Not to show off, but to get a higher score.
The bigwigs on the judges' bench do not rely on subjective will, but also score from three aspects: color, flavor, and flavor.
The color represents the appearance, including the shape, color, and so on.
Incense is fragrance.
Taste is taste.
The more complex the pastry, the easier it is to manifest these three aspects. Considering the difficulty, it is easier to get a high score.
Although the difficulty of simple pastry is low, it is more difficult to embody the three aspects, and it is easy to score, but it is not easy to get a high score.
If you want to pass the exam, then making simple pastry is undoubtedly a better choice.
But now that it's a competition, everyone wants to win, so it's natural to choose complex pastries that are easy to get a high score.
But no matter how simple the pastry is, no one will make a white flour steamed bun during the competition.
Immediately, Zhang Lan was a little angry, during the competition, you made a white-flour steamed bun and came out, did you look down on me or what?
This is really wronged Gao Dian, he really doesn't underestimate Zhang Lan, the main thing is that he doesn't know much pastry. Those half-baked pastries are naturally impossible to take out during the competition.
Zhang Lan didn't know, she just thought that Gao Dian was underestimating her, so she snorted coldly.
It's no wonder she thinks so, because everyone has studied pastry for a few years, and who doesn't know more than ten kinds of pastry? Among them, there are always more complicated than white-flour steamed buns, right?
She wouldn't have thought that Gao Dian hadn't studied pastry for so long, he had only been studying for a few months, and he didn't know much.
Seeing Zhang Lan's expression, Gao Dian was a little puzzled, he was quite friendly just now, why did he suddenly change his face now?
In fact, not only Zhang Lan, but most of the people who paid attention to the two of them were surprised.
Even Zhou Yongqing was a little surprised, making a white-flour steamed bun? Anyway, add some brown sugar.
There are even many people who are upset with Zhang Lan and accuse Gao Dian of disrespecting his opponent.
Only Li Dongyang has no such thoughts.
Gao Dian didn't understand why Zhang Lan was suddenly angry, and he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, it was none of his business anyway.
When the judges were free, the two walked over.
These old men sitting on the judges' bench don't have so much energy to evaluate them one by one.
A group of opponents, there will only be one bigwig comment, of course, at the level of these bigwigs, one is enough.
"It's Lan girl."
As a judge, this old man seems to know Zhang Lan.
"Guo Lao." Zhang Lan shouted respectfully.
Guo Yuxiang smiled: "Lan girl, is your master okay?" ”
Zhang Lan responded: "Master, she is very good. ”
Guo Yuxiang smiled and nodded, and then looked at the noodles of the two.
He saw the four-color Sixi steamed dumplings at a glance, and said, "Sixi steamed dumplings, your master's specialty dish, I'll try them." ”
Zhang Lan answered and handed over the Sixi steamed dumplings.
Guo Yuxiang picked up a steamed dumpling and tasted it, commenting while tasting.
"That's right, I got your master's three-point true inheritance." Guo Yuxiang said with a smile.
Immediately, he pointed out some of the shortcomings, and Zhang Lan carefully wrote them down, and this kind of master's comment is also a valuable asset for her.
Although Guo Yuxiang and Zhang Lan knew each other, he did not favor Zhang Lan, and his comments were very fair.
After all, this is to help the younger generations grow, and winning or losing is not so important in their eyes.
After tasting Zhang Lan's Sixi steamed dumplings, the next thing is Zhang Lan's opponent's pastry.
This young man is very fresh, and Guo Yuxiang doesn't know him. Looking at the pastry in his hand, it was actually a plate of big white steamed buns, which made Guo Yuxiang stunned for a moment.
It was the first time he had met a white-flour steamed bun on this occasion.
As a master, Guo Yuxiang naturally has a broader vision, and he doesn't feel that making white-flour steamed buns is anything to be taken lightly, but he is a little surprised that someone will make white-flour steamed buns on this occasion.
At the same time, it also aroused his curiosity, is this young man really confident? Or is it unusual?
