Chapter 31: Eating Noodles
Kissin came up and was about to start rolling the dough, but Jia Yi hurriedly stopped: "Go wash your hands first!"
Kissin's body was covered with sweat and dust, especially on his hands, there were blood stains and oil stains that had not been washed, and if he had made noodles in this state, Kaichi would not have been able to eat them anyway.
Then, Kaichi pulled out another apron and tied it around Kissin's body, but not to keep the flour from getting on him, but to keep the dirt from falling on the dough.
Kissin's physique is much better than Jia Yilai's, although Jia Yi insists on exercising and practicing Tai Chi, and his physique is much better than that of ordinary people, but it is far from other people's professional physics careers, and he is not very old and has not yet fully developed.
Kissin came to the board, followed Kaichi's instructions, first kneaded the dough a few more times, then flattened it, picked up a rolling pin and began to roll out the dough. Three times five divided by two, he rolled the dough lightly and thinly, much thinner than Jia Yi's, and he was much better than Jia Yi in terms of control of strength.
Next, he sprinkled a layer of flour on the surface according to Jiayi's instructions, folded the rolled dough, picked up a knife to start cutting the dough, at the beginning it was relatively slow, cutting one knife at a time, but the speed slowly became faster, faster and faster, and finally it was even more like a fly, not a few seconds, a piece of dough was cut.
Jia Yi's eyes widened, although he felt that after so many years of training, the knife skills were already very good, even in the Chinese food world of the earth, this knife work was also good. But I didn't expect Kissin to be so powerful, and when he cut the dough, the knife light was connected, and Jiayi couldn't see it very clearly. This knife work, just in terms of cutting the dough, has no opponent on the earth.
"Kissin, you can work hard in your hands, I can't even see the knife clearly. Kaichi exclaimed.
Kissin said: "It's nothing, after all, have I practiced swords for so many years, usually I practice chopping wood, I can split wood into sticks of consistent thickness, this is much simpler." But your knife is really good, the steel is so good, it's just a little..."
Kissin's last words didn't come out, but Kaichi knew what he was trying to say. The knife he said was a Chinese-style kitchen knife made by Jiayi, and the center of gravity of the Chinese-style kitchen knife was in front, which was very convenient for cutting or chopping, but it was not as light as a Western-style kitchen knife. Because Jiayi was more familiar with this kind of kitchen knife, he made his own one to use.
The material of this kitchen knife is very good, it is made by Jiayi using a magic furnace, it can be regarded as a good steel, ordinary swords can't compare, and the knife edge part Jiayi has also done special treatment, using harder materials. But the crafting skills are really nothing, because it is just a kitchen knife, and Jia Yi did not forge it, and directly refined it into a single body in the magic furnace. Unforged steel is still steel, but its properties have not been fully released. Even modern steel is generally forged before it is used.
"You want to say that this knife is not good at crafting, this is what I made, it has not been forged, but it is only used to cut vegetables, and I don't care too much. Kaichi finished the words for Kissin, "I also felt a bit wasted later, but it can still be used, so I didn't make it again." ”
The main thing is that Jia Yi is lazy, striking iron is much more tiring than directly using the magic furnace, and forging also requires skill, otherwise the uneven beating will be even worse. And how to forge and form is also a technical job, or it will be beaten into iron pieces, not into a knife, and get to take that iron piece to cut vegetables. Later, Kaichi also thought about lighting up the blacksmith skills and remaking them well, but it wasn't because he was afraid of wasting materials, but because he didn't think that using a "dark iron" kitchen knife seemed very B-class!
Kaichi thought about the dwarven forging skills he had obtained, and wondered if he should put some effort into it, after all, he had to make armor for his brother and Flower.
There is a big difference between unforged materials and forged materials. After the metal material is forged, the looseness, porosity, and micro-cracking of the original material are compacted or welded, and the original dendritic crystals are broken to make the grains finer; and at the same time, the original carbide segregation and uneven distribution are changed to make the structure uniform, so as to obtain the internal dense, uniform, subtle, good comprehensive performance, and reliable use of materials.
Since you want to do it, of course, you must try to do it well.
But now it's important to make the following article.
With Kissin's help, Kaichi's movements are fast.
Put the noodles in the pot and cook them, not overcooked, so that they are tough, after the pot, control the water, put them in a bowl, and then pour a large spoonful of fish broth into the bowl, so that a night of steaming and delicious fish noodle soup is ready. Soon, the desk in front of Jia Yi couldn't be placed, and Jia Yi hurriedly beckoned someone to come over and serve it out to eat.
It was the first time the crew had eaten such delicious noodles, and to be precise, the noodles were the first time they had seen them. Because the flour is not the best flour, there is still a lot of wheat bran in it, but it is rich in wheat aroma, and full of toughness, there is a crispy feeling when you bite into it, plus the fish soup is delicious and fragrant, everyone is immersed in this fish noodle soup.
However, there is still a lack of green vegetables in this fish noodle soup, which is not beautiful, although there is nothing missing in the taste, but the color is lost a lot. Kaichi and Kisin were the last to eat, and in order to reward Kissin, Kaichi fished out the fish from the fish soup and gave it to him, although the taste of the fish was a little bland because of the long time of boiling, and it was too bad and lacked taste, but it was meat anyway.
In the end, the captain was the most shrewd, or he often went to the small stove of Jiayi, and he had already resisted, so he quickly finished the noodles in the bowl and ran to the kitchen.
"Why do you still have fish?" said the captain, who had just run to the kitchen, and saw Kissin, who was eating fish, and he picked up a spoon and scooped the bottom of the fish soup pot, "This is salted meat! ”
"It's good to have soup to drink, but it's good to give it to someone who is so good for fish. What are you doing here?" said Kaichi as he took a sip of the fish soup.
The captain smiled: "I'll take a look at this noodle... Noodles yes, do you still have noodles, isn't it a waste if you can't finish eating? ”
Kaichi opened his mouth in surprise, and even forgot to swallow the noodles in his mouth, he really wanted to say that your shameless appearance is very much my demeanor back then. However, Jia Yi did not refuse to give the captain another bowl of noodles, because there are indeed leftover noodles, Jia Yi has a little more noodles, and I am afraid that it will not be enough, everyone's noodles are the same, if everyone lets everyone eat with their stomachs, it will not be enough to have double portions.
Jiayi still has about six bowls of noodles left, you can come up with an exercise, ask Jiayi the next noodles, each person has six more bowls of noodles, but if each person has one and a half bowls and 9 bowls missing, ask how many people there are, and how many bowls of noodles are prepared.
Jia Yi was giving the captain a note here, and the original chef on the ship came over, and he came to Jia Yi with his waist bent: "Young Master Jia Yi, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking, it's really unexpected." You used to say that the food I made was unpalatable, and I didn't think it was delicious, but now compared with you, I feel that the food I make can only be fed to the livestock. ”
"Do you want to learn?"
The chef's eyes widened, he did have this idea, but he was afraid that Jia Yi would not teach, and he was thinking about how to speak, but he didn't expect Jia Yi to take the initiative.
He smirked at Jia Yi: "This, how embarrassing." I'll learn!"
The chef is also a thick-skinned person, and after hesitating for less than a second, he immediately said that he wanted to learn, and even Jiayi didn't react.
The captain also applauded, if the chef had learned, then he would have been able to eat such delicious noodles more often, and he would not have to gnaw on the hard dough.
