Chapter 208: Cat Ears

"Ramen noodles are noodles that pay attention to technique, and if you have learned to cut noodles with knives, you should know that knife noodles pay attention to knife work. Ramen is based on techniques, and there are many ways to use ramen, and the recipe is different for different ramen. ”

Gu Tongzhou and Gao Dian said.

Gao Dian listened and nodded repeatedly, he had known about ramen for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to learn it.

"I'll teach you the basics of ramen techniques first, and once you learn the basics, it's much easier to learn complex techniques later." Gu Tongzhou said.

Gao Dian looked at it seriously.

He began to knead the dough, and the ramen was about technique, but the dough was also extremely important.

In fact, for all pastries, kneading is the most important step, and it is the foundation of the foundation.

The dough of ramen noodles should be tough, the moisture should be sufficient, and the dough should have strong stretchability, so that the noodles can be pulled out.

In addition to hands-on work, the recipe for the noodles is also very important. The dough recipe for ramen and knife-cut noodles is different for the same noodles.

Gu Tongzhou taught very seriously, and he didn't hide his secrets, just some basics of ramen, and there was no need to hide his secrets.

Gao Dian watched very seriously from the side.

Soon, Gu Tongzhou's dough reconciled and began to teach Gaodian ramen.

"The shape of ramen noodles is actually eclectic, you can pull it into a circle, you can pull it into a leek shape, a triangular shape, or even a hollow and stuffed one. It all depends on what you want to make, ramen is a highly creative noodle dish. Gu Tongzhou said.

He then picked up the dough and said, "The shape of the ramen has a lot to do with the shape of the first try, for example, if you arrange the dough into a triangular shape at the beginning, then the noodles you pull out will also be triangular in the end." In the same way, if you want to pull a circle, arrange the dough into a circle at the beginning. ”

Time passes slowly.

Gu Tongzhou talked a lot, and the basics of ramen are very time-consuming, because there is too much content and too many things to pay attention to.

The reason why many people can't learn how to ramen when they watch videos is because they haven't learned these basic things.

Gu Tongzhou taught seriously, and Gao Dian also listened seriously.

Gu Tongzhou talked a lot on the basis of ramen, and basically told everything he knew, but noodles only taught Gao Dian one kind.

It's a round ramen.

As for other shapes, Gu Tongzhou didn't teach too much, just mentioned a few words, whether he can learn it, or whether he can figure it out, it all depends on Gao Dian himself.

After teaching Gao Dian, Gu Tongzhou left the kitchen, leaving Gao Dian to practice here alone.

…………

For the next few days, Gao Dian practiced ramen skills in this small kitchen, and Gu Tongzhou did not come to teach him again.

On this day, Gu Tongzhou came again.

He was also followed by a young girl, dressed in a white chef's suit, looking curiously around.

Gu Tongzhou introduced to the girl: "This is Gao Dian, according to the seniority, you have to call him a little uncle." ”

The girl Zhang Yafei waited with big watery eyes, and looked at Gao Dian with curiosity, a man who didn't look a few years older than herself.

"Master, I know him." Zhang Yafei said, "I know the champion of the Young Pastry Chef Exchange Competition. ”

Gao Dian smiled, he didn't expect this girl to know about herself.

Gu Tongzhou said: "You have to learn from Xiao Gao, don't know how to play all day long." ”

Zhang Yafei stuck out her tongue and said, "I know, master." ”

Subsequently, Gu Tongzhou said to Gao Dian: "Her name is Zhang Yafei, and she is also my apprentice grandson." This time, I brought her here to teach you a pastry at the same time. Xiao Gao, you learn things faster than her, and after a while, you teach him more. ”

Gao Dian hurriedly said: "Learning from each other, not teaching." ”

Zhang Yafei was now behind Gu Tongzhou and winked at Gao Dian, but was ignored by Gao Dian.

"By the way, how are you practicing ramen? Pull one out and show it to me. Gu Tongzhou said.

When Gao Dian heard this, he should arrive: "Okay Gu Lao." ”

Immediately, he began to meet, and all the steps were familiar.

After a few days of hard practice, Takanori has mastered the technique of ramen.

Due to the solid foundation of his previous noodles, the noodles pulled out were unexpectedly good.

Of course, it's just a passing level, and there is still a long way to go to achieve good or even excellent.

Zhang Yafei watched Gao Dian's smooth movements on the side, a little surprised, as far as she knew, Gao Dian had only learned ramen for a few days, and he was so proficient?

Gu Tongzhou stood aside and watched, nodding in his heart, although there are still many problems, but being able to do this level in a few days is already very hard.

Gao Dian pulled the noodles out, not daring to pull them too thinly, he had tried before, once he pulled them too thinly, the noodles would break.

Come to think of it, like dragon beard noodles, the recipe and technique are different.

He only learned the basics.

Gu Tongzhou tried the noodles with his hands and praised: "Yes, this noodles are moderately soft and hard, and they are full of toughness." However, there are still many shortcomings, such as ......"

Gao Dian listened very carefully to Gu Tongzhou's words, he knew some problems, and he didn't find some problems.

Knowing the problem is a point, and more importantly, how to solve the problem, which is the most important thing.

Gu Tongzhou also mentioned some solutions to the problem, which benefited Gao Dian a lot.

Zhang Yafei stood aside, a little surprised, is the master so strict?

In her opinion, the ramen made by Gao Dian is already very good, and it can be sold out, but in the eyes of the master, there are still so many deficiencies.

After pointing out the high ceremony, Gu Tongzhou finally entered today's topic.

He came to teach Gao Dian another pastry, and he gave Gao Dian a total of two pieces of paper before, and Gao Dian chose to learn ramen first, and there was another kind of pastry that he didn't learn.

"Cat ears are simpler than ramen." Gu Tongzhou said.

Gao Dian and Zhang Yafei both listened carefully and paid attention.

Cat ears are a type of pasta that is named because it resembles cat ears.

The preparation of cat ears is very simple, after the dough is knew, divide it into evenly sized pieces, and then rub it with your thumb.

As the fingers automatic, the dough curls and thins out, creating a dough in the shape of a cat's ear.

There is also a kind of cat ears, which are snack cat ears bought on the street, which are fried and the method is different from this.

Although the name is the same, the approach is very different.

As a snack, cat ears actually use two kinds of dough, one is ordinary dough and the other is dough with brown sugar.

Combine the two types of dough together, roll them into strips, then cut them with a knife and fry them in a pan of oil.

In terms of practice, cat ears as snacks are obviously more complicated.

What Gu Tongzhou wants to teach is the former one, and the teaching is a simple one.

It is not difficult to make cat ears, but there are also some skills, such as how much force to use with the thumb and how to rub it out to look good.

Gu Tongzhou demonstrated it and asked the two, "Do you understand?" ”

The two of them nodded in unison, the cat ears were too simple, and there was basically no difficulty.

"Just understand it." Gu Tongzhou nodded, "Well, you guys can practice here." ”

In terms of the practice of cat ears, there is no difficulty in itself, and the real core has actually been handed over to Gao Dian a long time ago, which is the formula on that paper.

It's not the same as ramen.

Even if you hold the recipe of ramen, it is estimated that it will be difficult to learn without Gu Tongzhou's careful guidance.

Gu Tongzhou said a word of advice, and hurriedly left the kitchen.

Now, in the entire kitchen, there are only Gao Dian and Zhang Yafei.

In the small kitchen, lonely men and widows get along, Gao Dian is calm in his heart, he doesn't have any ideas, men and women are the same.

And Zhang Yafei's face was slightly ruddy.

In fact, Gao Dian didn't know that Zhang Yafei was still his fan, as early as when Gao Dian participated in the exchange competition before, Zhang Yafei paid attention to Gao Dian and became his fan.

Now that she is close to her idol, she can't help but feel a little shy in her heart.

Zhang Yafei's fingers tugged at the corners of her clothes, burying her head and thinking to herself, what if the idol talks to her later? What do you have to say?

Zhang Yafei was a little worried.

Soon, she realized that her worries were a little redundant, and Gao Dian pondered the cat's ears and ignored her at all.

Zhang Yafei was embarrassed alone for a while, and also began to try to make cat ears.

Gao Dian quickly made a cat ear, in addition to not being skilled at the beginning, which caused the cat ears to be a little unsightly, but later became proficient, and it was more beautiful.

There is no difficulty in cat ears, Gao Dian did it according to the formula, and the cat ears made have reached a qualified level.

It's a lot faster than making ramen.

You know, he practiced ramen for several days before he reached the passing level.

In contrast, this cat ear is really not challenging.

Each pastry has its own uniqueness, and it can even be said that each pastry can be made into the ultimate delicious, depending on whether you can make it or not.

Takanori has little interest in cat ears, and he prefers ramen.

After learning how to make cat ears, Takanori began to think about ramen again.

His idea is that when he learns ramen well, it's not too late to learn cat ears slowly.

Zhang Yafei kneading dough and dough is a bit like a novice, and her movements don't look skilled at all.

However, as Zhang Yafei, who grew up with snacks and pasta, she is not ambiguous in making it.

Soon a cat ear took shape in her hand, and she looked at the cat ear, clapped her hands, and said, "It's not that difficult." ”

Zhang Yafei felt a little proud in her heart, just cat ears, not just a hand.

She looked at Gao Dian and saw that he was still ramen, and she couldn't help but feel that Zhang Yafei's eyes rolled and she had an idea in her heart.

Waiting for the end of the Gaodian ramen, Zhang Yafei shouted: "Little uncle! ”

Gao Dian was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.

"Uncle Junior!" Zhang Yafei shouted again.

Gao Dian realized that he was calling himself.

When Gu Lao introduced it just now, he said that according to the seniority, Zhang Yafei wants to call himself uncle.

"You don't have to call me uncle, I should be a few years older than you, you can just call me brother." Gao Dian said.

Zhang Yafei shook her head and said, "No, if the master hears it, he will be angry." I'll call you Uncle Xiao. ”

Gao Dian was helpless, so he could only follow her.

"What do you call me for?" Gao Dian asked.

"That's the case, Uncle Junior, why don't we have a competition?" Zhang Yafei asked.

Gao Dian didn't expect Zhang Yafei to make this request, he couldn't help but think a lot, and his eyes gradually became indifferent.

"Uncle Junior, why do you want to look at me with that look?" Zhang Yafei was a little puzzled.

Gao Dian asked, "Do you know Kang Nanzhi?" ”

Zhang Yafei nodded and said, "I know, Senior Brother Kang is very famous, and he became a first-class pastry chef at a young age." ”

When Gao Dian heard this, his face became even colder, and he was now very suspicious that Zhang Yafei was going to compete with him, and it was Kang Nanzhi who was making trouble behind his back.

In fact, I don't blame Gao Dian for thinking like this, mainly because he was a little unhappy with Kang Nanzhi a few days ago, and Kang Nanzhi didn't come to him in the past few days, and he didn't know what was bad.

"It's okay to compete, let's say, what is the lottery head?" Gao Dian said.

Zhang Yafei was puzzled: "Why Caitou? ”

"You stand up for Kang Nanzhi, don't you want a colorful head?" Gao Dian asked.

Zhang Yafei was stunned, and then reacted, this is a misunderstanding!

"Little Uncle, you misunderstood, I'm not standing up for Senior Brother Kang." Zhang Yafei said.

Gao Dian was surprised: "Misunderstanding? ”

"That's right, Senior Brother Kang and I are not the same master, so why should we stand up for him." Zhang Yafei said.

Gao Dian fell silent, he habitually thought that Zhang Yafei wanted to stand up for Kang Nanzhi, but he didn't expect it to be at all.

Zhang Yafei rolled her eyes and asked, "Little Uncle, what happened between you and Senior Brother Kang?" ”

Gao Dian was silent for a while, and briefly told the story between the two, without going into details, just talking about it roughly.

Gao Dian didn't add oil and vinegar, there was no need for that.

After Zhang Yafei listened, she frowned and said, "Senior Brother Kang is so excessive? ”

Gao Dian said: "I'm sorry just now, I misunderstood you!" ”

Zhang Yafei shook her head and said, "Uncle Xiao, you don't have to apologize, and blame me for not explaining it clearly in advance." ”

Gao Dian answered and did not speak.

Zhang Yafei suddenly whispered: "Actually, I don't like Senior Brother Kang very much. ”

After a pause, Zhang Yafei said again: "Actually, many senior brothers and sisters don't like Senior Brother Kang, anyway, little uncle, don't worry, basically no one will come to you for trouble for Senior Brother Kang." ”

Gao Dian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Kang Nanzhi's popularity is so bad?" ”

Zhang Yafei nodded again and again, "If it weren't for his high talent, and now he is a first-class pastry master, his popularity would be even worse." ”

Gao Dian was a little speechless, mixed up with this, Kang Nanzhi still has a hand.

Gao Dian didn't ask anything more, Gu Tongzhou, who was the king of pastries, accepted a lot of apprentices, and the relationship between these apprentices may not be very harmonious.

These are Gao Dian's own guesses, but he thinks that this guess is very likely.

"By the way, you said you want to compete, what kind of competition?" Gao Dian asked.

Zhang Yafei heard the words and said: "Let's compare the cat ears we just learned, anyway, I definitely can't compare to you compared to others." ”

Gao Dian nodded and said, "Okay." ”
