Chapter 378: Dragon Whiskers
The more he studied, the more sure Gao Dian was in his heart.
In fact, the difficulty of this dessert lies in the production process, as long as the technical problems are solved, the rest is very simple.
Because the seasoning of dragon whisker cake is really not difficult, the difficulty is similar to the seasoning of white flour steamed buns.
In terms of technical issues, the difficulty of the dragon whisker cake is also mainly divided into two.
One is temperature.
Sugar is a very interesting thing, and in Chinese cooking, it can be said that sugar is played with flowers.
With different temperatures and boiling times, sugar can be made for a variety of purposes.
For example, after boiling the sand, the brown sugar formed by cooling.
Caramel formed after caramelization.
Sugar for coated gourds; Make sugar-colored sugar; Sugar for silk drawing, and so on.
It's hard to imagine how our ancestors discovered sugars with different effects.
Boiling sugar is the control of temperature and time, to make dragon whisker cake, the sugar must be boiled well and boiled in place.
If the sugar is not boiled well, it will break when it is pulled, or even it will not be able to pull at all.
After the sugar is boiled, the temperature must also be mastered when pulling the sugar.
Sugar is only very malleable when it is hot, and it is not possible to use it too high or too low.
This depends on the palm of the hand to control the temperature, and in a very short time, the sugar is repeatedly stretched until it is pulled into a thin silk with spider silk.
The second point is the technique.
The principle of pulling sugar is actually similar to that of ramen.
However, ramen relies on the cooperation of the arm and wrist, while the pull of the sugar is actually simply the strength of the arm.
It looks like pulling sugar is a bit like brute force, like breaking something.
In fact, when pulling sugar, the requirements for strength are very precise, not too big, not too small.
It's too big to pull off, too small to pull and can't move.
The sugar is fine at the beginning, but the more you go to the back, the more you pull harder, the more careful you have to be, and if you are not careful, it will be completely broken.
After reading the recipe, Gao Dian had a bottom in his heart.
In terms of temperature control, Gao Dian can still do it, after all, his lily cake also has high requirements for temperature.
Therefore, Gao Dian has the foundation in this regard.
And in terms of pulling sugar, Gao Dian also has some experience.
He will ramen.
Gao Dian was very interested in ramen, and later learned it with Gu Tongzhou, and after he came back, he also practiced it.
Although ramen and sugar are not exactly the same, the principle is similar, and Gaodian can be regarded as having a foundation.
He didn't really learn from scratch, either.
The most common ingredients used to make dragon whisker cake are sugar and flour.
Every time you pull it, you need to wrap the sugar with flour so that it doesn't stick together, and the roots will be clear when you pull it out.
Flour needs to be fried, it must be cooked flour.
After the dragon whisker cake is pulled out, it will not be processed in any way.
These things are all available in Dianxin Building.
Gao Dian began to try his hand at making it for the first time, he first stir-fried some flour for later use, and this cooked flour can be used after cooling.
After frying, the flour will exude a wheat aroma, which is particularly good.
The step of boiling sugar, Gao Dian carried out it carefully.
Soon, according to what was written in the recipe, Gao Dian boiled out the first pot of sugar.
Wait for it to cool down to a little hot, and then you can start pulling.
Gao Dian succeeded in doing it for the first time, although there were many flaws, and it was only qualified, but he succeeded in making it.
He was able to succeed the first time, thanks to the foundation he had laid before.
The precise grasp of temperature and the power of ramen.
Of course, the recipe sent by Wei Qiaoyi is also indispensable.
This recipe is extremely detailed, as long as you follow the steps above, you can learn it.
However, Xiaobai can be high at this speed.
It is clear that just a passing level is not enough.
Gao Dian found out his own problems through the evaluation of the plug-in.
Immediately, he began a second production.
The dragon whisker cake made by Gao Dian was put aside, and he didn't move it or taste it.
Now he has to try to save time, and as for his own problems, just look at the plug-ins.
In the eyes of others, however, there is a different picture.
They saw Gao Dian keep doing it, and when they were done, they threw it aside, and then moved on to the next batch.
He didn't taste it himself.
This makes everyone a little strange, but what is even stranger is that in this case, the dragon beard cake made is actually getting better and better.
The dragon whisker cake made by Gao Dian will be put aside, and some chefs who have taken a break will taste it with curiosity.
They don't believe much in Gao Dian's current learning and sale.
Everyone is a pastry chef, so they naturally understand the difficulty of learning and selling.
But when Gao Dian succeeded in making the dragon whisker cake for the first time, they were a little surprised, and even suspected that Gao Dian was not the first time to do it.
Someone even went to get one to taste, and it tasted unexpectedly good.
Later, when Gao Dian made it for the second time, they went to taste it again, and this time it tasted even better.
This was followed by the third and fourth ......
The taste is getting better every time, not only the taste, but also the appearance.
And Gao Dian is becoming more and more proficient, unlike at the beginning, when he was still cautious.
Gradually, everyone became numb.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it, but there are really people who are learning and selling, and in such a short period of time, they have achieved this level.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding by everyone, and Gao Dian can achieve this degree due to some various reasons.
If he really took a pastry that he had never touched before, and without any foundation, he would not have improved so quickly.
Slowly, everyone also believes that Gao Dian may really be able to.
Gao Dian, who has made rapid progress in the eyes of others, has deep worry in his eyes at this moment.
He's improving fast, and that's true.
But he didn't reach a good level and is still spinning at a good level.
In fact, in such a short period of time, it is not easy to achieve a good degree.
The time is gradually approaching seven o'clock, and Gao Dian has not yet made an excellent level of dragon whisker cake.
As time passed, everyone in the kitchen began to worry.
Wei Qiaoyi had already stopped the production of the order, looked at Gao Dian, and bit her lip lightly.
She kind of wanted to persuade Gao Dian to give up, but she knew that she couldn't say such a thing, she couldn't persuade Gao Dian to give up, but she had to support him.
But looking at the sweat on Gao Dian's forehead, Wei Qiaoyi was a little unbearable.
The clock was approaching seven......
Inside the box.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and they could guess what was going on after not having a third dish for so long.
They know the difficulty of this question, but they probably can't do it, and they are unwilling to give up.
Of course, they didn't urge, they said that they would leave at seven o'clock, so they would wait until seven o'clock.
Du Dawei did not join the chat, his heart was full of worry.
This...... It's a little difficult!
The original third question has a greater hope, but after the change, the third question has a low probability of passing.
"Guys, why don't you go to me later?" Someone spoke.
"Okay, it's okay today anyway." Someone should make peace.
"I'm not going, I'll have to see the restaurant."
Everyone was talking and discussing where to go.
Now it's ten minutes before Qi seven o'clock.
The third pastry hasn't been served yet, so it probably won't be served.
Everyone was in a relaxed mood, and although something went wrong in the middle, the result was good.
During this time, the momentum of Dianxinlou is too strong, and it is good to be able to suppress the development of Dianxinlou.
There are five minutes left.
Someone got up and said, "Guys, let's go." ”
For a moment, three people stood up and prepared to leave.
Hu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the time has not yet come!" ”
The person who stood up first looked slightly dissatisfied, and said, "Chef Hu, there are only five minutes left, is it necessary to die so stuck?" ”
"Five minutes left, you have to sit for me, too! Since you said you left at seven o'clock, you will leave at seven o'clock, not even a minute earlier. Hu Zheng said.
Today's incident made him very dissatisfied.
"Chef Hu, there's no need for this, it's just a few minutes, and besides, the third dish hasn't been served yet, so it definitely won't be served." Said another standing man.
"You are all people with heads and faces, you said that you will leave at seven o'clock, can't you wait for these few minutes? Don't be afraid to make people laugh when you say it. Du Dawei said with a sneer.
The faces of the three people standing were a little ugly, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
In fact, it is not peaceful between the families, and they are also flickering grievances on weekdays.
At this time, someone played a round and said: "It's just a few minutes, you might as well wait a little longer, let's say it's okay to leave at seven o'clock, and it's not too late to leave at seven o'clock." ”
"yes, yes, there's no need to rush these few minutes."
"Humph! Then I'll just wait, it's just a few minutes, can you serve it? Said the first to stand up.
The two people who stood up behind also sat down separately when they heard this.
Then...... The door to the box suddenly opened.
Gao Dian walked in.
Looking at the people in the box, Gao Dian smiled and said, "Everyone, the third pastry has been prepared, please taste it." ”
The three people who were about to leave just now did not look very good-looking, and looked at the things that Gao Dian brought up, and their eyes also showed a critical look.
"The third question is crispy or not, what are you?" Hu Zheng asked.
Gao Dian introduced: "My pastry, called Dragon Whisker Cake, should fit the topic, right?" ”
When Hu Zheng heard this, he said: "It's in line with the topic, dragon whisker crisp, but it has nothing to do with crisp." ”
When others heard this, although they didn't want to admit it, what Hu Zheng said was not wrong.
It's crispy, it's not crispy.
Obviously, the dragon beard cake fits the topic.
"Wait, the dragon whisker cake is also a pastry?" Someone said suddenly.
Du Dawei glanced at the man and said coldly: "Why don't you count it?" Dragon's whisker cake is pastry! ”
"Speaking of dragon whiskers, it shouldn't be considered a pastry, right?" The other also spoke.
Du Dawei's face was a little cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it's almost over, this topic is given to you to sit on, what can you do?" There are some words, everyone knows it, but if it goes too far, everyone's face is not good-looking. ”
Hearing Du Dawei's faintly threatening words, the two chose to keep silent.
The fact that they changed the topic on the spot is indeed not glorious, and what they say is indeed humiliating.
What's more, once this matter is exposed, their reputations may be damaged.
"Ahem, the dragon whisker cake is indeed a pastry, and it does fit the topic." Someone spoke.
"Yes, the dragon beard cake is in line."
The others nodded in agreement.
Gao Dian looked at everyone, and then at Du Dawei, he always felt that something had happened that he didn't know.
However, he was also a little glad in his heart, fortunately he chose the dragon beard crisp, although there was some controversy, but it also stood up.
If you choose the kind of apple crisp that Feng Zhigang said, then the result is likely to be different.
I chose the dragon beard crisp by myself, and Senior Brother Du said a few words for him. And if you choose apple crisp by yourself, then even if Senior Brother Du has the heart to help him, I'm afraid he will not be able to do it.
Sure enough, they didn't want Dian Xinlou to pass the test easily.
To be honest, today's three questions are already very aimed at Dianxinlou.
The pastries that can be made in line with the topic are not available in Dianxin Building.
Fortunately, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Dianxinlou successfully solved the first two pastries.
And this third course depends on whether it can be passed.
"Alright, let's try it." Hu Zheng said with a gloomy face.
He felt a little embarrassed, and what they did made him a little speechless.
But these people are so shameless, not really shameless.
At this moment, everyone picked up the dragon whisker cake and began to taste it.
The taste of the dragon whisker cake is dense, with sugar threads as thin as spider silk, which melt in the mouth.
The flour neutralizes some of the sweetness and tastes less greasy.
The fried flour has a unique wheat flavor and the sweetness of the sugar, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
The taste level of dragon whisker cake is relatively simple, but when you eat this, the important thing is the taste.
"Very delicious dragon whisker crisp, I think it can be passed." Du Dawei said.
He quietly gave Gao Dian a thumbs up.
The taste of this dragon whisker cake is tasted by everyone, and it can definitely reach an excellent level.
It is precisely because of this that Du Dawei said so.
The reason why he took the lead is also to remind others in disguise.
Originally, he didn't plan to talk much today, but what these people did made him feel shameless.
Hu Zheng also nodded and said, "I agree to pass." ”
The others had complicated faces, and they wanted to say no, but the smell was here, and they couldn't say it.
Although they have just used some disgraceful means, it is a commercial competition, and they are still serious and serious about the matter of pastry.
"Pass!"
"Pass."
……
The rest of the people spoke.
They were a little helpless, obviously they had already targeted them like this, but they were still passed.
Hu Zheng smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have passed this test, and after I go back, I will ask people to change the Dianxin Shop on the list to Dianxin Building." ”
The difference is one word, but the effect is completely different.
Gao Dian smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome, you deserve it." Hu Zheng said with a smile.
"So...... Let's go first. ”
Hu Zheng beckoned everyone to leave, except for Du Dawei and Hu Zheng, the faces of the others were a little complicated.
Gao Dian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
