"If you agree, this thing will be given to you." Gu Tongzhou took out a piece of paper.

"What is this?" Gao Dian wondered.

"This is the recipe for dragon beard noodles, as for the technique, I'll teach you later." Gu Tongzhou said.

Gao Dian nodded and put the paper away.

The reason why he agreed to the deal so happily was because he didn't want to live up to his teacher's wishes.

"This dragon beard noodle can be regarded as a unique skill in my vein, and it is not easy to learn it. You have to be mentally prepared, I don't have much time, can you learn to see your own creation. Gu Tongzhou said.

"I see." Gao Dian responded.

"Okay, then let's say goodbye first, tomorrow you come to this address to find me, and I will teach you to make dragon beard noodles." Gu Tongzhou said.

He then gave Gao Dian an address, and Gao Dian put it away.

Gu Tongzhou got up, and Zhang Yafei on the side hurriedly helped him.

Before leaving, Zhang Yafei said playfully: "Little uncle, goodbye!" ”

After speaking, she left with Gu Tongzhou.

A little uncle made Gao Dian completely remember who this girl was.

No wonder it's a little familiar, it turned out to be Zhang Yafei!

When Gao Dian was learning pastry with Gu Tongzhou before, Zhang Yafei had practiced with him.

It's just that a long time has passed, and the two have never met, so Gao Dian forgot about it.

Now that she called Uncle Xiao, Gao Dian remembered.

This deal, as Gu Tongzhou said, was that he took advantage of it.

Dragon beard cake is Gu Tongzhou's unique skill, if you want to learn, it is definitely impossible to make such a transaction alone.

Among them, the teacher must have made a great effort.

Gao Dian felt that he couldn't live up to the teacher's wishes, this dragon beard noodles, he must learn to do it!

Back in the kitchen, Wei Qiaoyi asked curiously, "Gu Lao came to you just now, what's the matter?" ”

Gao Dian did not hide it, and told Wei Qiaoyi about the content of the transaction.

After listening to this, Wei Qiaoyi said with emotion: "Dragon whisker noodles are difficult to make, and they are extremely difficult pastries. You have to study hard and don't miss this opportunity. ”

Gao Dian nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know." ”

"By the way, since you're going to learn dragon beard noodles tomorrow, then you can rest tomorrow." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian was not pretentious, and readily agreed, "Okay." ”

Dragon whisker noodles are not so easy to learn, and it is naturally good to be able to have a little more time. And when he doesn't have to go to work, he can concentrate more.

So he didn't have to be polite to Wei Qiaoyi, and there was no need to be polite between the two.

"Hmm." Wei Qiao responded.

I didn't take this transaction to heart, but I just asked one person to come to Dianxinlou to stay for a while, and now there is no shortage of people in Dianxinlou, but it doesn't hurt to have one more person.

Time passed slowly, and Gao Dian was studying the recipes left by the teacher.

Next.

Gao Dian came to Gu Tongzhou's place according to the address, this is a community, Gao Dian walked in.

When he came to the place, Gao Dian reached out and knocked on the door, and a crisp female voice soon sounded inside.

"It's coming! Wait a minute. ”

After a while, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was Zhang Yafei.

"Uncle Junior, you're here." Zhang Yafei said with a smile.

"Hmm." Gao Dian responded.

Then, Zhang Yafei shouted inside: "Master, Uncle Xiao is here." ”

Gu Tongzhou was sitting in the living room making tea, and when he heard Gao Dian coming, he beckoned, "Xiao Gao, come and sit." ”

Hearing this, Gao Dian walked straight over.

"Gu Lao." Gao Dian greeted.

Subsequently, he sat opposite.

"Come, tea." Gu Tongzhou said.

Gao Dian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Old Gu, when will we start studying?" ”

Gu Tongzhou smiled: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" Let's talk first. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he had to respond.

"Your teacher called me before he left." Gu Tongzhou said.

"What did the teacher say?" Gao Dian asked.

"When it's time for him to make a deal, let me come to you to complete the deal after he's gone." Gu Tongzhou said.

When Gao Dian heard this, he secretly said in his heart, I see.

No wonder, not long after the teacher left, Gu Tongzhou came over, and it was at this time. It turned out that the teacher asked him to come, and that made sense.

"Do you know what your teacher's premise is for this transaction?" Gu Tongzhou asked.

Gao Dian shook his head and said, "I don't know, is there any other request?" ”

Gu Tongzhou smiled: "Don't worry, since I came to you, it means that the prerequisite requirements have been met, and I will not ask you for anything more." ”

"Old Gu, I didn't mean that." Gao Dian said.

Gu Tongzhou smiled silently, and then continued: "When your teacher told me about this transaction, the premise was that you could reach the top level of a first-class pastry chef, and then I would come to you to complete the transaction. ”

Then, Gu Tongzhou's eyes froze and said, "Your teacher said that you have reached this level, but I need to see it with my own eyes." So, can you please prove it? ”

"Gu Lao doesn't believe it, I can naturally prove it." Gao Dian said.

"Okay, then you make a pastry, and I'll see if you're really up to this level." Gu Tongzhou said.

"Gu Lao is the designated pastry? Or do you want me to play freely? Gao Dian asked.

"Can you do that level with the specified pastry?" Gu Tongzhou asked with a smile.

Gao Dian was stunned, of course he couldn't, he just asked.

"Alright, you're free to do as you please." Gu Tongzhou said.

Gao Dian answered, got up and went to the kitchen.

He made his rounds and looked for ingredients in the kitchen, and after a while, Gao Dian walked out of the kitchen and said, "Gu Lao, can I go buy some ingredients?" ”

Gu Tongzhou should arrive: "Of course you can." ”

Gao Dian then went out.

The ingredients he wants to buy are very simple, which is the ingredients of chestnut crisp.

Lily crisp and knife-cut noodles are more troublesome to make, but on the other hand, chestnut crisp is simpler to make.

So he decided to make chestnut crisp.

He just looked for it, there were no ingredients in the kitchen, and among the ingredients that Gao Dian needed to make chestnut crisp, there was only one flour.

The rest, nothing.

To make chestnut crisp, you naturally need to use puff pastry, which requires lard.

In fact, ordinary vegetable oil can also be used to make puff pastry, but the taste is not as good as that made of lard.

Generally speaking, when conditions permit, Gaodian will choose to use lard to make it.

Another very important ingredient is, of course, chestnut.

Fortunately, lard and chestnuts are very common ingredients and can be found everywhere, so you don't need to look for them.

After buying the ingredients, Gao Dian walked into the kitchen and began to prepare.

Lard is not readily available and needs to be boiled.

Gao Dian went relatively late, and now there is no plate oil and net oil, but this is not difficult for Gao Dian. Lard can also be boiled with fatty meat, but the cost is higher.

He didn't need a lot of lard, and the cost wasn't much higher.

When boiling lard, you need to add a certain amount of water, and when boiling, you should not use high heat, but medium or low heat.

If the fire is too big, it is easy to boil the lard, and the color will not be particularly white, and it will be a little yellow.

Gao Dian didn't boil much lard, and it was boiled quickly.

Pour it out and cool it, and Gao Dian went to do something else.

Zhang Yafei was a little curious, but she didn't go into the kitchen to watch.

Although she wants to learn from Gao Dian, she hasn't followed yet, so naturally she can't take a peek.

You must know that Gu Tongzhou is a very old-fashioned person, with a very serious view of the portal, and he is very clear about inheritance.

This is true for others, and it is also true for one's own people.

Zhang Yafei followed Gao Dian to learn, this is a transaction, but before the transaction starts, Zhang Yafei can't take a peek.

In fact, Gao Dian doesn't care, he doesn't have any insight into the portal.

Chestnut shelling is a very troublesome problem.

But here's a little trick.

Cut the chestnut head with a knife into a small cross, then put it in water and boil it for a while, and after taking it out, it is easy to peel off.

Peel the chestnuts and steam them on top of the steamer to steam the chestnuts thoroughly.

At this time, Takaori began to make noodles.

Puff pastry is usually not used on its own, but with cold water.

Overlap the two, roll flat with a rolling pin, overlap again, roll out again, and repeat this action a few times.

What comes out of this is puff pastry.

Because the nature of puff pastry and cold water noodles are different, the two seem to fuse together, but in fact, in the high temperature state, the two will separate.

This results in layers of puff pastry, which tastes crispy and dregs.

The dough is set aside to rise, and at this time, the chestnuts are almost steamed.

Gao Dian began to make the stuffing of chestnut crisp.

…………

"Master, why do you have to let Gao Dian prove it?" Zhang Yafei asked softly.

"If he doesn't prove it, how do I know if he's really at that level?" Gu Tongzhou said.

"But, didn't Elder Wei tell you? You don't believe him? Zhang Yafei wondered.

"I naturally believe it, but there are some things that I can't be sure of if I don't believe in them, so it's better to see them with my own eyes." Gu Tongzhou said.

"Oh." Zhang Yafei responded.

Gu Tongzhou drank tea.

At this time, Zhang Yafei suddenly asked, "Master, when can I go back?" ”

Hearing this question, Gu Tongzhou was a little silent.

"I'll pick you up after a while." Gu Tongzhou said.

"Hmm." Zhang Yafei lowered her head in response, looked at the ground, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Gao Dian wrapped the chestnut puff pastry and put it in the oven to bake.

After a while, the aroma wafts out of the oven.

In the living room, Zhang Yafei smelled the fragrance and said, "It's so fragrant." ”

Gu Tongzhou glanced at the kitchen and did not speak.

It didn't take long for Gaodian's chestnut crisp to be roasted.

He took it out and put it on the coffee table and said, "Old Gu, please taste it." ”

Gu Tongzhou sniffed it and said, "Chestnut crisp? ”

Gao Dian should arrive: "That's right, it's chestnut crisp." ”

"Your teacher actually taught you all this pastry, but your teacher used this pastry to make a name for himself."

Gu Tongzhou's eyes showed a look of memory, and he said with emotion.

Gao Dian was a little surprised, this chestnut crisp was not taught by the teacher, but by Hu Lao.

But listening to Gu Lao's words, the teacher will also make this chestnut cake?

Gao Dian's heart moved, and he asked, "Old Gu, can you tell me about my teacher's past?" ”

When Gu Tongzhou heard this, he shook his head and said, "There's nothing to talk about, it's all in the past." ”

Gao Dian wants to say, I want to hear it.

But Gu Tongzhou obviously didn't want to go on, and Gao Dian didn't want to ask too much.

Gu Tongzhou definitely didn't want to talk about it, could it be that he had been pressed by Wei Lianzhang all the time, and he could only chase his back?

Although this is true, it is still very embarrassing to say it in front of juniors.

"I'll try your chestnut crisp and see if you get a bit of your teacher's true inheritance." Gu Tongzhou said.

Then, he picked up a chestnut crisp and began to taste it.

The familiar taste made Gu Tongzhou dream back to his youth.

At that time, he was still very young, and Wei Lianzhang was also young.

At that time, Gu Tongzhou was arrogant, and at a young age, his cooking skills were already very good, equivalent to the current powerful second-level pastry chef.

At that time, chef grading was not yet popular, and although there was such a saying, many chefs did not go to the rating.

It is also with the development of time that most of the chefs have been graded, and this chef level has become what it is now familiar.

At that time, Gu Tongzhou and Wei Lianzhang met at the beginning, both of them were genius pastry chefs, how could they not have a discussion?

So the two began to compete, and at that time, Wei Lianzhang used chestnut crisp.

What Gu Tongzhou never expected was that from that time on, he had not won against Wei Lianzhang once.

At that time, the taste of chestnut crisp was also deeply rooted in Gu Tongzhou's mind.

Now that he tasted this taste again, Gu Tongzhou felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

"Very good, it is indeed at the top level of a pastry chef." Gu Tongzhou said.

Gao Dian smiled when he heard this.

Zhang Yafei tasted it on the side and shouted deliciously.

Gu Tongzhou ate one, and he didn't eat it again, the taste is very good, but the person who represents this taste memory has passed away.

He looked at the young man in front of him, very young and energetic, and from him, he seemed to see himself back then.

However, better than them.

At this age, he has reached the top level of a first-class pastry chef, and he does not have this level at this age.

The future of Gaodian is limitless.

Thinking of these, Gu Tongzhou deeply felt that he was already old, and the current era was no longer their era.

The future belongs to these young people.

"You've reached this level, and now I'll teach you how to make dragon beard noodles."

Gu Tongzhou got up and said.

Gao Dian should arrive: "Okay." ”

On the side, Zhang Yafei hurriedly asked, "Master, can I come and take a look?" ”

Gu Tongzhou smiled: "Of course you can, but you can just take a look, with your current level, you can't learn it." ”

Zhang Yafei said very hurtly: "Master, it's heart-piercing." ”

"Haha......" Gu Tongzhou smiled heartily.

He understands the language of young people like Piercing Heart, thanks to Zhang Yafei often saying it in front of him.

When he came to the kitchen, Gu Tongzhou put on a chef's uniform, and his expression became serious and serious.

"Next, I'll just do it once, you watch it well. If you don't understand, don't ask, wait until I'm done. Gu Tongzhou said.

"Okay, I got it." Gao Dian responded.

"Well, then you can watch and listen."
