When Li Yi finished walking around the market, the things he bought were almost full of a 6.8-meter truck.

In addition to rice, flour, grain and oil, he bought more than 200 kilograms of various dried fruits, as well as sugar, salt, and various seasonings.

Seeing a wagon full of rice, flour, grain and oil, Wu Lei's legs were weak.

He was a little uncertain and asked Li Yi for confirmation: "Brother Yi, do you have to grind these into powder?" ”

Li Yi deliberately made a disapproving look, and calmly asked, "Otherwise?" How do you make dim sum without grinding it into powder? ”

Wu Lei's face turned white, and he swallowed as he looked at a cart full of all kinds of rice and grains.

A picture came to his mind, wearing a cloth coat, his eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth, and then he pushed the grinding plate, turning in a circle, as if it was endless.

Seeing his frightened face, Li Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry!" I have asked the program team to contact the manufacturer, and I will sponsor a few electric grain mills. ”

When Wu Lei heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still wanted to harden his mouth, so he deliberately said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little more effort, and the manual grinding is more soulful than the machine grinding." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Yi immediately took out his mobile phone and pretended to send a voice: "Xiao Lu, you tell the manufacturer, those electric grain mills don't need to be shipped first, we decided to use manual grinding, which has more soul..."

"Don't! Brother Yi! I was wrong! ”

Wu Lei hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Yi's mobile phone, but after taking it, he found that the screen was not even unlocked.

Li Yi looked at him with a smile: "Are you still pretending?" ”

"Don't install it, the electric mill is too soulful!"

Wu Lei smiled and relented, raised his hand and surrendered.

They were just joking, Wu Lei knew that Li Yi would definitely not really return the mill, he was just doing a show with Li Yi.

However, after laughing, he was still a little curious: "Brother Yi, since you still use an electric machine to grind powder when you go back, why don't you just buy someone else's grinding?" ”

"The polished taste will run."

Li Yi explains: "Whole grains have their own taste and aroma, just like seasonings.

For example, peppercorns, star anise, cumin, these fragrant seasonings, the newly ground is more fragrant than the finished ingredients.

After grinding it out and putting it there, the flavor will definitely run out of it.

Therefore, fresh and fresh, to buy ingredients is to buy new and fresh goods.

Ordinary people may not have the conditions at home, so in order to save time and energy, it is understandable to buy some secondary processing.

Since we are opening a restaurant, we must open the door to welcome customers and make money by selling goods, so we must do the best. ”

As he spoke, he patted the compartment of the truck: "The latest and freshest ingredients are the key to making top-notch deliciousness." ”

"Not necessarily."

Wu Lei smiled: "Give me the latest and freshest ingredients, and I can't make delicious ones." ”

Laughing, the crew had already loaded the goods left by Li Yi into the car.

Trucks can't enter the city during the day, so they have to unload at night.

Therefore, Li Yi took a part of the ingredients to be used, put them in the car of the program team, and prepared to take them back to the restaurant to make them first.

Leaving the financial accounts of the program team, Li Yi and his entourage got in the car and left under the warm farewell of the bosses.

By the time Li Yi and his party returned to the restaurant with the ingredients, it was already twelve o'clock at noon.

The little food that I ate in the morning had already been digested, and everyone was hungry.

"Brother Yi, let's get something to eat first!"

Wu Lei sat down on the chair: "Before you work, you have to let people eat first!" ”

"Can you still be hungry?"

Li Yi rolled up his sleeves: "What do you want to eat?" ”

"You can eat anything, and the most important thing is to be fast."

Wu Lei said, his stomach suddenly gurgled, and he hurriedly pointed with his hand: "Listen, you're hungry!" ”

"Then let's help together."

Li Yi signaled: "Go and take out the braised soup in the freezer, heat it in the pot, and put the uneaten braised meat in it, just boil." ”

As he spoke, he put a bag of high-gluten flour on the table and brought it out in two pots.

"Okay!"

Wu Lei didn't ask Li Yi what to cook, got up and walked to the freezer.

Yesterday's braised soup was placed in the freezer, which had already condensed, and a thick layer of pale yellow lard floated on top of it.

The lard seals the aroma of the broth, but you can still smell a faint aroma of lo and oil.

Smelling this aroma, Wu Lei couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his stomach suddenly gurgled again.

"What's it called?"

Wu Lei patted his belly: "You little belly, I'll fill you up in a while!" ”

He took out the braised soup, turned around, and saw Huang Xiaoming passing by with a basin of water behind him, looking at him with a look of astonishment.

"Uh......"

Wu Lei explained embarrassedly: "It's filled with rice." ”

Huang Xiaoming didn't say anything, just shook his head and sent the water to Li Yi.

"Young people nowadays dare to say anything!"

He put down the basin and couldn't help but sigh.

"What did you say?"

Li Yi was puzzled.

"Nothing."

Huang Xiaoming didn't explain, but changed the topic and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Meat buns."

Li Yi put some yeast powder in the basin and said with a smile: "Just eat all those braised meats, so as not to waste them." ”

"Which one are you going to do? Bai Ji Bao or Lao Tongguan? ”

Huang Xiaoming said, but found that saliva had been secreted.

Shaanxi Province's meat sandwich buns are famous all over the country, but there are also different genres of meat sandwich buns.

Among them, the most common are the bacon meat sandwich made with white Ji bun, and the Laotongguan meat sandwich bun made with mille-feuille baked cakes.

"Bai Ji Bao! The kind of Laotongguan is more time-consuming. ”

Li Yi said, dug up another spoonful of lard and put it into the noodles.

Seeing Li Yi's approach, Huang Xiaoming was a little surprised: "Do you want to put lard in the white bun?" ”

"Of course, most of the pasta for bread is made with lard."

Li Yi explained while mixing the noodles: "Putting some lard in the noodles can make the dough fluffier and crispier.

Laotongguan's mille-feuille baked cakes are more placed, and the crispy texture of the cakes is made from lard. ”

Huang Xiaoming listened curiously: "Aren't the breads crispy when baked?" ”

"Crispy and crispy are different."

Li Yi explains: "The crust of the dough is baked at high temperature, and the moisture is lost, which will indeed become hard and form a crispy texture.

But the puff pastry is formed by the internal hollow structure, like a hardened foam.

One of the most important techniques in Chinese pastry is to make puff pastry.

Puff pastry is the use of a large number of hydrophobic bases in the oil, combined with flour to form a crispy structure, to make a crispy texture.

When the puff pastry is heated, the fat is dispersed, and the water vapor in the dough expands, forming a honeycomb-shaped hollow structure.

When the honeycomb dough is dry, it will form a crispy texture. ”
