Chapter 358: Wife Cake
But the midstream level is not enough for him!
Gao Dian must have confidence in saying this.
Thinking of this, Yao Jun suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, Chef Gao has this Yaxing, then I will learn Chef Gao's cooking skills." ”
"Okay, what do you think about the competition?" Gao Dian asked.
"I don't have any ideas, how about we play at will?" Yao Jun asked.
"Okay." Gao Dian responded, which was also in line with his thoughts.
There are too many restrictions, and it's not interesting to try.
"Lu Ping, you go and buy some ingredients." Yao Jun turned his head to Sun Luping and said.
"Oh yes, Master, what ingredients do you want?" Sun Luping asked.
"It's the ingredients for my wife's cake." Yao Jun said.
Sun Luping was shocked in his heart, Master wants to make this pastry?
You know, this is his master's best pastry.
Of course, Yao Junhui has a lot of noodles, but among them is the most delicious wife cake.
Is Gao Dian worthy of his master's use of this pastry?
When Wei Qiaoyi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, this pastry is famous.
The wife cake actually belongs to the moon cake, and it is the moon cake with the least amount of materials.
Legend has it that this pastry originated in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and it has a long history.
Although the wife cake belongs to a kind of moon cake, it was in the past, after the wife cake gradually became famous, it gradually got out of the category of moon cake.
After all, moon cakes can only be eaten in the Mid-Autumn Festival, while wife cakes are not limited to festivals.
The reason why the wife cake is famous is probably because of the sentence "there is no wife in the wife cake", which is the same as "there is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork".
But in fact, many people have never eaten wife cakes, but have only heard of its name.
Although this pastry is famous, the ingredients are simple, although there are all kinds of magic changes in the back, but the original wife cake, the ingredients are very simple.
Probably the materials are simple, so the wife cake can be spread so widely.
Gao Dian did not look down on the wife cake because of the simple ingredients, on the contrary, the wife cake is simple to make, but it is not easy to do well.
Just like steamed buns, just those ingredients, the steps are so simple, ordinary people will do it as soon as they learn it, but to do it well, it will be a test of kung fu.
It is necessary to deduct the details at every step, only in this way can the taste be better than the average.
Sun Luping was about to leave, but was stopped by Yao Jun: "Wait." Then he looked at Gao Dian and asked, "If Chef Gao has any ingredients he needs, he might as well let Lu Ping buy them back." ”
When Gao Dian heard this, he was not polite and made a list.
These ingredients are the ingredients used to make lily crisp.
He still chooses to make this pastry, not because he doesn't know other pastries, but because the lily cake is the best representative of his cooking skills today, and it is also the best dish he makes.
In the face of Yao Jun, he only had to take out the lily cake to hope to win.
Sun Luping left with the list.
The two sat down separately and chatted slowly over tea.
The atmosphere of this chat is much more relaxed, and there is no sense of solemnity just now.
Because the two are talking about some light-hearted topics now.
Gao Dian also had to chat with Yao Jun about some light topics, and from Yao Jun, he also learned a lot of interesting facts about the culinary world.
Yao Min was not in the living room, and after she cut the fruit, she went back to the room.
Although she is lively and cheerful, she is not stupid. Knowing that her father and Gao Dian had something to talk about, she didn't stay in the living room.
Chasing stars also depends on the time.
Time passed slowly, and the two had a good conversation.
This made Sun Luping, who hurried back in a hurry, stunned, and when he opened the door, he thought he had gone to the wrong house.
Obviously, before he went out, the atmosphere between the two was still tense, why are the two talking and laughing again now, and they look very good.
Yao Jun glanced at Sun Luping, the smile on his face narrowed, and said to Gao Dian: "Chef Gao, let's start." ”
The smile on Gao Dian's face was also put away, and he said calmly: "Chef Yao, please first." ”
Yao Jun looked at Gao Dian, was silent for a while, and smiled: "Okay, then I'll do it first." ”
After speaking, Yao Jun took the ingredients from Sun Luping and walked into the kitchen.
His kitchen is very spacious and bright, after all, he is a professional pastry chef and attaches great importance to the kitchen at home.
It's not that professional pastry chefs don't pay attention to the kitchen at home because they have spent enough time in the kitchen in the restaurant, and they don't even enter the kitchen.
Generally speaking, a first-class pastry chef like Yao Jun has high requirements for the kitchen at home, and the place may not be as spacious as the place to work, but the layout inside is not necessarily bad.
Gao Dian did not pass, and sat and waited in the living room.
Sun Luping on the side was a little apprehensive and a little complicated.
On the one hand, he hoped that his master would win, and on the other hand, he hoped that his master would lose.
The ambivalent mentality made him a little restless.
When Yao Jun kneaded the dough and put it to proof, he came out and said to Gao Dian: "Chef Gao, please, let's save some time." ”
This is exactly what Gao Dian thinks, he wanted to end it early, so he could go back early.
If Yao Jun hadn't said that, Gao Dian wouldn't have competed with Yao Jun at all, maybe they would have gone home by now.
Walking into the kitchen, Gao Dian familiarized himself with the layout of the kitchen under the guidance of Yao Jun.
He carefully washed his hands and began to make lily oil and lily hydrosol.
There are no tools for making hydrosol, but there are alternatives to them.
I saw him take out a plate and put some fresh lily petals around it, and then he covered a bowl in the middle, added some water around it, and put it in the steamer to steam.
Due to the pressure, the surrounding water will slowly seep into the bowl. The temperature of the steam is very high, which allows the flavor of the lily petals to dissolve in the water more quickly.
After steaming for a while, you can get some lily hydrosol.
This is not the best way, and the hydrosols extracted by distillation are better. However, the gap is not too big, and it can still be used.
Gao Dian was sitting in the kitchen, and Sun Luping was puzzled in the living room: "Master, why did you agree to Gao Dian's competition?" ”
Yao Jun looked at Sun Luping and said with a smile: "What? Are you worried that I will lose? Or are you worried that I will win? ”
Sun Luping lowered his head and said, "I definitely hope that Master, you can win, but I don't understand a little, Gao Dian has just entered the first-level level, is it necessary for you to compete with him?" ”
Yao Jun said with a smile: "This young man, but it's different from what you think, his level is ...... It's not necessarily worse than your master and me. ”
When Sun Luping heard this, he was shocked and exclaimed, "How come? ”
"How not?" Yao Jun asked rhetorically.
"How long has he been a first-class pastry chef? It's no worse than you, Master? This...... It's incredible. Sun Luping said.
Looking at his apprentice, Yao Jun sighed in his heart, this is the gap with this kind of top genius.
You can't even accept what you hear, but people have actually done it.
Of course, Yao Jun just sighed, Sun Luping is his apprentice, and he still loves him very much.
"Okay, you just look good." Yao Jun said.
Sun Luping nodded, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Master, then if you win, you really won't join?" ”
When he asked this sentence, Sun Luping was a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Do you want me to join or not?" Yao Jun asked.
Sun Luping was silent for a while, and said seriously: "I naturally hope that Master will join, after all, the treatment given by Gao Dian is not low." ”
Yao Jun nodded and said, "I know, in fact, this treatment is very good, and I can also take you with me." ”
Hearing this, Sun Luping was overjoyed in his heart, but then Yao Jun's words changed, "But if I win, I won't join." ”
"Why?" Sun Luping was a little puzzled.
Yao Jun smiled and said, "Didn't I just say the reason, this is my pride." ”
Sun Luping was silent, he didn't understand a little, he would join if the treatment was good, why did he have to be a good cook?
Yao Jun glanced at Sun Luping and understood what he was thinking, but he didn't explain too much.
Sun Luping followed him a long time ago, but Sun Luping's talent was not good, and in Yao Jun's opinion, Sun Luping could not inherit his mantle.
The reason why Sun Luping was accepted was also because of some other reasons.
At the beginning, Yao Jun did not cultivate Sun Luping as an heir, and he kept what he taught.
It was only this time, after Sun Luping followed him out of the Appreciation Building without hesitation, Yao Jun planned to teach Sun Luping his skills.
As for how much he can learn, it is his personal business, and he, as a master, can only try his best to teach.
It is precisely because Sun Luping's talent is mediocre, and it is estimated that he will be the second-level pastry master in this life, so he will not understand Yao Jun's pride.
That's not something that can be measured in terms of monetary treatment.
Time passed slowly, Yao Jun felt that his dough was almost fermented, and he walked into the kitchen, only to see Gao Dian kneading the dough.
It took so long for him to start kneading dough?
So what did he do in the kitchen before?
Yao Jun had some doubts in his heart, but this was Gao Dian's privacy, so he naturally wouldn't explore it.
Gao Dian kneaded the two kinds of dough, poured them into a basin and fermented them, saw Yao Jun come in, and said with a smile: "Chef Yao, I need to wait here for a while, Chef Yao, please." ”
Yao Jun answered, took out his dough, and began to knead it.
He also made two types of dough.
The outer layer of the crust of the wife cake is actually puff pastry, and the cut is layer upon layer of puff pastry, and to achieve this effect, two kinds of dough are needed.
The principle is the same as that of Gaodian to make lily cakes.
Gao Dian exited the kitchen and sat on the sofa waiting.
Sun Luping wanted to speak to Gao Dian several times, but he didn't know how to speak.
The current Gao Dian is already a lot of the previous Gao Dian, and he feels a little pressured to talk to Gao Dian now.
That sense of oppression made him reluctant to have too much contact with Gao Dian.
Gao Dian didn't pay much attention to Sun Luping, he was now pondering something.
Soon, Yao Jun came out, and he had already put his wife's cake in the oven to bake, and when it was baked, it would be finished.
Seeing Yao Jun come out, Gao Dian walked into the kitchen.
His dough is now ready to be made.
He has experienced countless times in the processing of the filling, and he has already mastered it well, and he quickly processed all kinds of ingredients.
Then, the two types of dough are put together, folded and rolled out without stopping, and then folded and rolled out again.
After repeating, the two doughs are no longer separated from each other, and they appear to be one. In fact, the two types of dough are not fused, but they are not visible now, and they will not be revealed until they are put in a pan or oven.
In the living room, Yao Min poked his head out of the room.
She had been in her room for a long time, not knowing what was going on outside, but she estimated that her father and Gao Dian had finished talking, so she wanted to come out and meet her idol.
However, she didn't see Gao Dian in the living room, casually, Yao Min walked out of the room, came to the living room and asked, "Dad, Brother Gao Dian is gone?" ”
Yao Jun said: "No, he is in the kitchen. ”
When Yao Min heard this, he wondered, "What is he doing in the kitchen?" ”
At this time, Sun Luping on the side explained to his junior sister in a low voice, and after Yao Min listened, he shouted into the kitchen: "Brother Gao Dian, come on!" ”
Suddenly, Yao Jun's face darkened.
"Dad, you're going to bully people, why do you want to compete with Brother Gao Dian? If someone is kind enough to invite you, you will go, and you don't have a job right now anyway. Yao Min said.
Yao Jun said with a dark face: "It was he who wanted to compete with me, not me who took the initiative to ask for it." ”
"If you say yes, you won't have this competition." Yao Min snorted.
Yao Jun turned his head and did not speak.
It's really a big girl, and her elbow is turned out.
Yao Min sighed secretly, she didn't really turn her elbow out, she hoped that her father could find a job.
After resigning from Appreciation Building, she knew that her father was feeling uncomfortable, so she hoped that he would find a new job as soon as possible, so that she could forget about Appreciation Building.
It's a pity that I haven't met the right one these days, although Yao Jun didn't tell her, but Yao Min is not stupid, so he can see it naturally.
In Yao Min's view, his father is dying to save face.
Yao Min's shout did not affect Gao Dian, who was concentrating on shaping these lily cakes at the moment.
Whether it looks good or not depends on how well it is shaped in this step, and if it is done well, the shape will naturally look good.
Sometimes it's all about the details.
Yao Jun saw that the time was about the same, and went to take out his wife's cake and put it away.
Although the freshly baked wife cake tastes good, the taste is the best when it is dried, and the crust of the wife cake at this time is not crispy enough.
After letting it dry, the skin will become crispy, so that the texture and taste can be the best to eat.
At this time, Gao Dian also carried out the last step and began to fry.
The step of frying lily crisp is the easiest, but it is also the most difficult.
Of course, for Gao Dian, it is no longer difficult, after all, he has done it countless times, and he has long been familiar with it.
It didn't take long for Gao Dian's lily crisp to be fried and put together for a little arrangement, and then Gao Dian brought it out of the kitchen.
Outside, Yao Jun's wife cake has been dried, just waiting for Gao Dian to finish.
"Chef Yao has been waiting for a long time." Gao Dian said?
"I didn't have to wait long." Yao Jun said.
Gao Dian put the lily cake and the wife cake together.
