Everyone worked so hard, she was naturally not to be left behind, and followed everyone back to the back kitchen, kneading the dough with her hands, and at the same time mentioned to the big guy:

"The dough of the wonton must be salted to increase the gluten, and egg white must be added to it to increase the ductility of the dough, so that the dough will be thinner and smoother when the time comes."

Chapter 22: Corn and Pork Ravioli

"No."

For Zheng Wan's kind suggestions, everyone immediately remembered them, and they didn't know when they could follow these tips and follow Zheng Niangzi to learn good cooking skills, and maybe there would be hope to continue to climb up.

Zheng Wan watched everyone knead the dough without any problem, and turned around to start the other steps of making wontons.

First boil a wok of boiling water, crush the ginger you have taken, cut off the shallots and knead them to bring out the flavor, then add the washed peppercorns and ginger and shallots into a bowl, pour them in and start soaking to bring out the flavor.

Then take the pork meat with three fat and seven lean minced meat and chop it into minced meat, which retains a certain granular shape, and tastes more meaty.

After doing this, she looked at the person in charge of peeling and cleaning the corn kernels in the distance, and asked, "Is the corn all processed?" ”

"Right away, Mrs. Zheng."

Hearing this, she nodded, continued to look at the kneading position on the side, and after feeling that the time was just right, she immediately took the next step in processing the minced meat in front of her.

Zheng Wan stirred the minced meat in the bowl with salt, soy sauce and five-spice powder, and then added the green onion, ginger and pepper water she had soaked in advance, which could help the minced meat get rid of the peculiar smell.

In the first step, without adding too much, pour into a small half bowl, and then quickly stir in one direction in the bowl until you feel that the green onion, ginger and pepper water are completely absorbed by the minced meat.

This step can be done three or four times, and when she feels that the minced meat is full of water and the chopsticks are about to be unable to continue stirring, she stops her hand that has been stirring.

With such a large amount of work, she couldn't help but shake her right hand that was a little sour after she stopped.

As soon as she looked up, she saw that the kneading position was looking at her, and she subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Everyone immediately waved their hands one after another, avoiding Zheng Wan's gaze, as if they hadn't seen anything.

Zheng Wan was still a little unable to react to this sudden change in emotion, and he didn't understand why everyone showed shocked expressions.

But thinking that the time was not early, she temporarily put aside the doubts in her heart, put the mixed meat filling in place, walked to the kneading table, and said:

"You first look at the posture and thickness of the dough, and then you can do it yourself."

Soon, everyone witnessed the incredible scene.

I saw Zheng Wan take out a piece of dough and keep kneading, the dough transformed into various shapes in front of everyone's eyes, and then through the rolling pin, it became a large piece of dough covered with the tabletop, as thin as paper, and even through the dough, they could see the color of the lower tabletop, which showed its thinness.

This way of making wonton dough is unprecedented for everyone, they used to directly divide the dough into small pieces, and then roll it into a round dough to make the glaive in everyone's mouth.

Someone just wanted to ask what to do next, but saw Zheng Wan take out a knife and divide the whole piece of dough into palm-sized squares with his eyes as a ruler.

Seeing this step, the doubts in everyone's hearts deepened, how to make wontons with such dough?

Zheng Wan didn't have time to answer the questions in everyone's hearts at this time, and continued to explain:

"You all see it clearly, right? The dough made by this ingredient has better spread, making it easier to make this thinner wonton dough, and you will understand the deliciousness of this wonton later. ”

It's just rolling the dough and cutting the shape, and this difficulty is not difficult for this group of people who make noodles at all.

With Zheng Wan's expectant eyes, everyone nodded, and immediately returned to their positions and began to make dough.

After the instructions here, Zheng Wan walked to the next position, mixed the corn kernels with the meat filling, and then took out a pair of chopsticks and looked at the person in charge of making the wontons, and introduced:

"This wonton is so easy to wrap that you just need to look at it. You see, put the dough on top with your left hand, remember to align one of the corners with the position of your fingertips, pick up a little meat filling with the chopsticks in your right hand, prepare this corner to press and roll, withdraw the chopsticks with your right hand, and tighten it with your left hand.

You see, this is what wontons look like, as long as they are done with the right combination and they are fast. ”

What she said was very simple, but everyone only felt that their eyes were a little insufficient, and their brains still did not understand how this kind of wonton was made.

Zheng Wan didn't say anything, and continued to slow down his hand speed in the way he just did, and continued to show it in front of everyone.

After three times, everyone finally reacted, looked at Zheng Wan embarrassedly one by one, and saw that she still had a tendency to continue to wrap up, and hurriedly interrupted:

"Mrs. Zheng doesn't have to do it anymore, wait until you understand how to wrap it. If it doesn't work out, the lady will teach again. ”

The others nodded their heads along with the man's words, indicating what they meant.

Seeing this, Zheng Wan let go of his hand and stayed by the side to observe everyone's movements.

Maybe it's because of the familiar hands, the first two or three are not yet formed, and they need to be pinched hard, and the next ones are much better, and the finished products are eight points similar to the finished products shown by Zheng Wan, and the wontons like small meat balls are placed on the floured table, which is interesting to look at.

After Zheng Wan looked at the two places and didn't need himself, he stepped aside and instructed Zhao Qingyou and the others who were cooking.

"This wonton needs to be served by adding salt, soy sauce, chopped seaweed, chopped shrimp and chopped green onion to a bowl first, and then rinsing it with hot water and adding the cooked wonton to serve. So it's best to pour all the spices in a bowl before it's served. It just so happens that you have nothing to do now, so you will be in charge of this link first. ”

"No."

Hearing that he had something, Zhao Qingyou immediately took his good sister to work together, and according to Zheng Wan's instructions, he meticulously added seasoning to the bowl in the back kitchen.

Zheng Wan also mixed in to help, when she saw the dried shrimp, she picked it up and smelled it, and found that if you want to taste better, it is best to use sun-dried small shrimp, but unfortunately people here don't look down on small river fresh, such as small fish.

Moreover, sun-dried small shrimp can also be ground into flour and become a substitute for chicken bouillon, adding umami to food.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that she could go outside the city tomorrow, the day when the water supervisor was resting, to get some small shrimp that no one wanted, and she couldn't tell when she would use it for business.

Her thoughts were still diverging here, and the others looked at the time and had already begun to boil water and cook wontons in accordance with the practice she had just explained.

Hearing the sound of boiling water, Zheng Wancai withdrew from his thoughts and slowly walked to the stove to observe everyone's movements.

I saw that the water in the wok was constantly tumbling and bubbling, and someone quickly threw the meat ball-like wontons into the water, and at this time, the pink of the minced meat and the yellow of the corn were faintly revealed under the white skin.

As soon as the dough encounters water, the upper part of the dough instantly tightens, tightly wrapping the filling, forming a zigzag pattern.

The lower part quickly spreads out, hanging and floating in the water like the hem of a daughter's skirt.

When the wontons are cooked, pink heads emerge like jellyfish, and the skirts of the lower body continue to flutter with the rolling of the water, with the water vapor that has not dispersed, like a fairyland.

At this time, everyone finally understood why the dough was made like this, just from the appearance, this kind of wonton was several times better than the glaive wonton made before.

Zheng Wan saw that everyone didn't move, so he hurriedly reminded him: "You can fish it out if you float up." ”

"Yui!"

The handyman holding the spoon heard the sudden sound, and hurriedly responded, subconsciously stretched the spoon into the wok, and fished out the floating wontons one by one.

Then, in anticipation, the wonton is poured into the bowl along with the soup, and when the soup rushes into the bowl, a rich umami flavor instantly explodes, quickly spreading from the bowl to the surrounding air.

At the same time, the originally stiff seaweed quickly softens, rising and falling in the bowl along with the wontons.

They are still feeling the special and fresh fragrance of the wontons, and the people who came to the kitchen early to wait for breakfast are not in such a good mood, and after feeling that there has been no movement, they can't help but urge:

"Mrs. Zheng, isn't today's breakfast okay?"

"Right now, everyone."

Zheng Wan hurriedly responded, then looked at the people in the back kitchen, and instructed: "The production process of wontons is like this, you each have your own part of the responsibility to do a good job, and now you can take out this bowl of boiled wontons." ”

"No."

Everyone responded, and Zhao Qingyou took advantage of this gap to pick up the bowl, carefully brought the wontons that had just come out of the pot to the person who had just urged, and explained:

"This is the corn and pork wonton prepared by the chef today, do you want to eat it?"

"Absolutely."

It can be said that these days, Zheng Wan has not only broken the prejudice against fish in the group of people in Dushui Prison, but also the prejudice against pork meat, there is no strange taste, and it is even more fragrant than all the meat he has eaten before.

Therefore, when they heard that the wontons were wrapped in pork meat this time, no one overreacted and gladly accepted this one that looked special.

As the bowls of wontons were brought out, the umami smell that was originally just emanating around the bowl gradually began to spread throughout the back kitchen, followed by the dining area and courtyard......

An Yunhuan suddenly felt that the smell around his body was strange, and he turned over in disbelief and got up, inhaling vigorously, trying to find out where the fragrance came from.

He had just watched everyone carry the ingredients out of the warehouse, and because he had gotten up so early for the first time, he couldn't help but go back to his office to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened from his dream by a fragrance.

And as the aroma became more and more intense, he suddenly felt that his stomach was a little hungry, and the food he had eaten began to appear in his mind.

"Gollum-"

An Yunhuan wanted to act as if he hadn't smelled anything, after all, this kind of food was definitely not made by the water supervisors, so he got up to check it, but he was just more hungry.

But the movement in his stomach did not allow him to continue to cower in the room, feeling that he would not be able to sleep without eating, and he finally gave in.

I thought to myself: I really can't do it, in order to appease my stomach, I will go to the public kitchen and eat something that can fill me, as long as there is no strange taste.

But what he didn't expect was that the closer he got to the back kitchen, the stronger the fragrance in the air, even to the point where he couldn't isolate it even if he held his breath.

And, he also saw a scene that shocked him.

I saw that in the entire courtyard in the public kitchen, there were a row of people standing around, and in some places there were even two or three rows standing in a circle.

Each had a steaming bowl of food in their hands, and he couldn't see what it was through the dim light.

But the umami that emanated from the bowl fascinated him.

Suddenly, An Yunhuan felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and he subconsciously dodged to the side.

But when he heard the "gust of wind" passing by, he anxiously reproached: "It's all your fault!" If it weren't for your slow fishing speed today, why would we have returned to Dushui Jian at this hour, and it is estimated that we will not be able to eat Zheng Niangzi's new breakfast today. ”

Chapter 23: Hating Yourself for Being Late

Listening to these words, An Yunhuan felt that his brain was a little unable to turn, his heart was still beating violently in his chest, and the sound gradually spread from his chest to his whole body.

If there was no problem with his ears, the fish masters who had just hurried over said that Zheng Wan's morning food tasted good, and they were worried that they wouldn't be able to eat it when they came to the kitchen at this time?

He took a deep breath of the umami that filled the air, and his steps moved uncontrollably in the direction of the back kitchen.

By the time he regained consciousness, he had been crammed into the bustling procession, feeling the cries in his ears.

"I have to have a few more wontons, otherwise I won't be able to eat a few bites in this bowl."

"Like, don't you have a bigger soup bowl in the back kitchen? It feels like I have to queue up again after a few clicks, which is a bit too troublesome. ”

"Is it okay to have two bowls at a time?"

Zhao Qingyou smiled and refused the request of the fish master in front of him, explaining: "This is not allowed, otherwise the speed of others will be even slower." ”

"Old Sun, what good things are you thinking about? If you don't get out of the way quickly, there are people behind you who haven't eaten wontons yet. ”

"Master Sun, you are not allowed to take two bowls, all of us are watching!"
