Metropolitan Water Superintendent Chef Section 64
Zheng Wan's eyes couldn't help but stay on the cream, and the owner of the shop thought that Zheng Wan wanted to buy the cream, and enthusiastically introduced:
"The lady's vision is really good, this is the popular crisp mountain in Luoyang, the most critical material on it - ghee, it tastes silky and delicate, and you can't even feel the touch on the tip of the tongue, many girls love it very much in the hot summer."
Zheng Wan heard that it didn't take any effort at all, she thought that she needed to make her own whipping cream to set such a long supply time, and now it seems that there is no need to worry at all, just come here tomorrow to buy it.
Zheng Wan, who solved a major event in his heart, was very happy, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be ghee, and I want to order some ghee from the boss, and I will pick up the goods at the door the day after tomorrow, I don't know what the boss thinks?" ”
"No problem, we will definitely prepare enough ghee for the lady in the day after tomorrow, but I don't know how much the lady wants?"
Hearing this, Zheng Wan's eyes looked up and down on the special porcelain cup that was now filled with ghee, and replied seriously:
"It is estimated that it will take three times the amount of the current porcelain cup."
At this moment, the boss only felt that he had a big customer, and no one had bought so much ghee at this time in the past, so he immediately said excitedly:
"No problem, if our shop can't be supplied in time the day after tomorrow, we will be responsible for all the losses of the lady. It's that we need to pay a little deposit for this reservation......"
His eyes rolled around, and his hands were nervously clasped together.
Zheng Wan still didn't understand anything, she had just received a deposit from two people, and immediately paid the deposit for ordering cream, and after discussing the specific time with the boss.
I quickly rushed to the market and bought other things I needed.
One of the most important is almonds, the only regret is that the almonds here are only whole, and it is estimated that she needs to continue to process them.
On the way back, she actually saw a fruit that was rare to see in this season, and for the sake of her guests, she immediately waved her hand and bought them all.
When Zhao Qingyou visited Zheng Wan's residence again, he saw that the other party was cutting something with a knife with a serious face.
There is also a bamboo basket next to it that is constantly leaking, and at a glance, the bamboo basket is all black, and it is not clear what is inside.
She subconsciously approached, and the sound of footsteps woke up Zheng Wan, who was immersed in cutting almond slices.
She looked at the visitor in surprise and said with a smile: "Sister, you are here, and I went out today to pick up two more orders, which is really a lucky day." ”
Zhao Qingyou heard other information from it, and asked with some concern: "Isn't that lady going to be busy again?" ”
"Sister misunderstood this time, except for the need to do it yourself, everything else can be bought from outside, but it doesn't take much effort. However, there is really something I want to ask my sister for help here, I wonder if my sister knows that the chef has a barbecue? ”
"Yes."
Zheng Wan immediately stood up excitedly and shouted, "That's really good, so you don't have to go out and find someone else to borrow." ”
"Lady's dim sum this time is going to use the oven?"
In Zhao Qingyou's life experience, the things she has seen from the oven are scones and barbecue. Therefore, when I heard Zheng Wan's words, I immediately thought that the other party was going to make scones, maybe there was something in them, such as the plum dried vegetable patty made by Zheng Wan before, which was quite delicious.
But if Zheng Wan wants to use the oven, it is estimated that he needs to take care of it in advance, because Chef Liu has almost never used the oven, and after being idle for such a long time, it is estimated that a lot of dust has accumulated in it.
So, she hurriedly reminded Zheng Wan of the news.
Zheng Wan is really in a hurry now, her cake embryo is best made in advance tomorrow night and used until the next morning.
Now that he heard that there was something wrong with the oven he might use, he quickly put down the things in his hand and left a sentence to Zhao Qingyou, "Sister, go and ask Steward An." ”
After that, he only left Zhao Qingyou with the back of leaving in a hurry.
Zhao Qingyou looked at this scene, standing in place and crying and laughing, I don't know how Zheng Wan's fiery temperament was developed?
Shaking her head, she locked her eyes on the bamboo basket on the side, and slowly approached, only to see clearly that the mulberries were inside, red to black, no wonder she couldn't tell what was inside when she looked at it from a distance.
Then she set her eyes on the sliced almonds cut on the side, she chose to sit down, imitated Zheng Wan's movements just now, and continued to cut off the almond slices that Zheng Wan needed.
Zheng Wan, who hurried to the public kitchen, happened to bump into Steward An going out, and immediately stopped the person, "Steward An." ”
An Yunhuan thought that Zheng Wan had something to tell him about the morning food, so he immediately put a familiar smile on his face and asked curiously: "Does the lady have anything else to say about tomorrow's morning food?" ”
Zheng Wan immediately shook his head and replied, "No, I have other things to look for you." ”
"Lady, please say, as long as it is within a certain scope of authority and responsibility, if there is anything that can help the lady, a certain will definitely not refuse."
"I want to borrow the chef's oven, I wonder if the security manager can decide?"
"Oven?"
An Yunhuan was a little incomprehensible at first, but he quickly figured it out, and looked at Zheng Wan with a look that I understood everything, the corners of his mouth and the psychedelic eyes made Zheng Wan stunned.
Puzzled, he asked, "Can't you?" ”
"What's wrong with this, the lady is a chef of the public kitchen, isn't it natural to use the kitchen utensils of the public chef to study new dishes? Anyway, it's a waste for our chef's oven to sit idle, so don't forget all of us if the lady researches something new. ”
Suddenly, Zheng Wan understood the reason why An Yunhuan was willing to borrow the oven, it turned out that he was waiting for himself to use the oven when he was eating.
She pondered for a moment, immediately nodded in agreement, and then said respectfully to An Yunhuan, "Thank you Steward An." ”
After going back, Zheng Wan found Zhao Qingyou cutting almond slices for himself, and shook his head with a smile, he really didn't know what to say.
Zhao Qingyou also noticed Zheng Wan who was approaching, and said a little embarrassedly: "Er's craftsmanship is not as safe as that of a lady, and the thickness of the cut is uneven, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" ”
"It's okay, sister, don't worry, you're doing well. It happened that my sister helped cut the almonds, and the son went to solve the mulberries on the side by herself. ”
If you want to make a more perfect mulberry cake, mulberry jam is naturally indispensable.
Moreover, mixing jam and cream together to spread the cake can also add a more attractive color to the cream and increase the appetite, which is also a better selling point.
Zhao Qingyou, who was on the side, heard Zheng Wan's arrangement, and immediately nodded excitedly, feeling that he could finally help something.
Zheng Wan himself took out all the drained mulberries, checked again to see if there were any stalks that had not been removed, and after the inspection, a part was left.
Pour all the rest into the wok, first use a shovel to crush all the mulberries inside, and use your best strength to squeeze out the juice inside.
Then simmer over low heat, stirring and crushing with a shovel to make all the large particles of the mulberries disappear, leaving only the tiny parts to add to the taste.
After a while, the water vapor in the wok became more and more, and purple-red juice began to appear around the mulberry, and a sweet and sour smell began to spread around.
Zheng Wan continued to stir, and found that the originally hard mulberries inside began to soften, and when he stirred, he noticed that the particles were significantly reduced.
She quickly poured sugar into it and continued to stir until the sugar melted completely, and the gas that was originally more sour gradually turned into a gas with a dominant sweetness.
And the jam inside the wok has become viscous and looks like the jam should be almost boiled.
Squeeze in a little lemon juice as you scoop it out at the end to add a hint of flavor to the jam.
After putting the sealed jam aside, Zheng Wan sat directly next to Zhao Qingyou, and the two of them slipped all the almonds together.
After that, they cleaned the oven that had not been used for a long time, put in a little charcoal fire, covered it with plant ash, extended the baking time of the charcoal fire, and tried to dry all the water they had just scrubbed when they used it tomorrow evening.
The next day, Zheng Wan woke up happily, but at this time she did not realize what she would face next.
"Bell!"
The chopsticks hit the bowl and gave out a crisp enjoyment, Zheng Wan couldn't help but let go of the chopsticks, and let his right wrist keep turning in circles, wanting to relieve the soreness caused by the large egg white for a long time.
When she did it, she still underestimated the difficulty of beating the egg whites by hand, and the four chopsticks kept beating very slowly, in order to send the egg whites she needed within the reserved time, Zheng Wan wasted a lot of effort.
When Zhao Qingyou came, he could only see the mixture of batter mixed with egg yolk and whipped egg white.
It appears to be a faint yellow liquid, spread flat on an iron plate, with a layer of oiled paper in the middle to prevent sticking.
Zhao Qingyou asked curiously while lighting the fire in the oven, "Lady, what are you doing here?" ”
"Cake, a kind of snack that tastes fragrant and soft."
Zhao Qing nodded leisurely, and hurried to remove all the charcoal fires in the already hot stove, and used the residual temperature to bake the cake liquid.
When she watched the pale yellow cake liquid be sent to the oven, she was very nervous, and she didn't know if it would be possible this time.
If it doesn't work, it is estimated that he will have to continue to work tomorrow, thinking that Zheng Wan's wrist has been whipped to soreness, he proposed:
"If the lady can't do this, it's better to ask the cow fish master to help them tomorrow, the man's strength is always greater, and the lady doesn't have to work so hard."
The delivery time is at noon tomorrow, if this time it doesn't work, it is estimated that you really have to ask someone to help, and it is really not anyone who can do it to manually beat the egg whites.
Zheng Wan said approvingly: "Sister is reasonable. ”
For the rest of the day, the two of them were in front of the oven, braving the scorching heat, waiting for a message from inside the oven.
I don't know how long time has passed, but gradually the two of them suddenly smelled a more and more intense milky aroma, and the sweet smell surrounded the oven, which was especially obvious in this bleak night.
Zhao Qingyou grabbed Zheng Wan's arm in surprise and said excitedly:
"Lady, this is a success, right? It smells really good. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and carefully feel the aroma coming from the oven.
Smelling this fragrance, Zheng Wan's nervous heart can finally fall, it seems that they have succeeded in making a cake for the first time.
The next time for the two of them was not nervous, but full of anticipation, waiting for the temperature inside the stove to drop before daring to turn on the stove.
The moment I opened the oven door, a smell of milk wrapped in hot air instantly hit the two people standing at the door.
The two of them were too eager to forget about it, and subconsciously tilted their upper bodies backwards to avoid the attack of the heat.
But not forgetting to breathe in this rich fragrance, Zhao Qingyou urged a little anxiously: "Lady, take out the cake quickly." ”
"Huh."
Zheng Wan hurriedly used his pliers, grabbed the edge of the iron plate, and slowly took out the cake inside.
Zhao Qingyou carefully held the candle flame and tried to see the cake clearly within a safe range.
Soon, the cake hidden in the oven reveals its true form.
Under the dim candle flame, the cake with a golden roast on the surface appeared in front of him, and it was obvious that the cake at this time had risen a lot in height compared to when it had just entered the oven, and even when Zheng Wan took it out a little bigger, he could see the cake trembling in the iron plate.
Just like this, Zhao Qingyou could imagine how soft and delicious this cake should be, coupled with the milky smell that kept drilling into her body, she felt that she was about to fall in such a space.
Zheng Wan hurriedly observed the indication of the cake and found that except for the darker color on the edge, there was no trace of burnt for the time being, which should be of usable quality.
The two of them hurriedly checked the surroundings of the oven, and after finding that there were no potential safety hazards, they hurriedly returned to Zheng Wan's residence with the cake.
The next day, because Zhao Qingyou was not only responsible for the morning meal, but also had lunch, so the next part could only be completed by Zheng Wan himself.
She first bought the ghee she needed from the shop at the time she had booked.
The craftsmanship of the shop really doesn't say, the mixing is very good, she just needs to add something to it and be careful when stirring, there should be no problems.
To make the mulberry cake, add the mulberry jam and a small amount of sugar directly to the cream and stir well.
Soon, the original pure white cream was stirred into purple red by her, and some red and black particles were decorated in the middle, which was much better than the original color.
The other half of the cream is added to the original with a little salt, stirred well, and set aside.
Then take out the cake that she and Zhao Qingyou luckily baked yesterday, after a night of placement, the cake still remains the same as it just came out of the oven yesterday, remove the parts around the poor taste, and divide the remaining cake embryo into four evenly sized squares, and make two copies of each flavor of cake.
Zheng Wan carefully applied cream to each cake base, and without professional tools, he could only see his personal craftsmanship in play.
