Chapter 237: Below
The rest of the people can't be idle, and neither can Kaichi himself.
When Trudy brought the fish bones, he threw the fish bones, ginger and garlic and a few fishy spices into the pot to cook together, he didn't know what the use of this fish bone was, but the fish meat could improve qi and blood and enhance the physique, and the fish bones should not be bad.
Speaking of which, isn't the tiger bone a little more than the tiger beef cow coin?
I don't know what to do with it, it's hard as a stone, so it's better to throw it in the pot and cook the soup together to improve the freshness.
With March and the others looking at the fire, Kaichi went to the galley of the other ship, took out a bag of white noodles, and began to make noodles. Husley was baking bread and making breadcrumbs on the boat opposite, and the two couldn't do it together, so it was better to change places.
Kaichi poured the flour on the panel, pulled out a groove in the middle, poured the water into it slowly, and then carefully pulled the flour in with his hands, stirring slowly. When the water is absorbed by the flour, the flour is repeatedly kneaded by hand, and the flour becomes many small dough sheets. Then sprinkle water on the flour, stir it by hand, make it a lump-like small dough, the hardness of the dough at this time is still relatively large, he uses the dough to wipe off the batter on the panel, and then dip his hands in some water to wash off the flour on his hands and sprinkle it on the dough, and then knead the dough vigorously with his hands, the dough gradually becomes smooth, and there is not much flour residue on his hands and on the panel. When such dough is kneaded, it is called "three lights", that is, "dough light, basin light, and hand light".
Originally, Jiayi preferred to use duck eggs and noodles, but he learned from "China on the tip of the tongue", and the kneading noodles were more tough, with a crispy and tough feeling, and Jiayi felt that this tasted better. He prefers tough noodles to elastic noodles.
But alas, isn't there no duck eggs?
After kneading a dough, Kaichi finds a clean cloth, moistens and wrung it out, covers the dough to moisturize, and then kneads the next dough. Because of the large number of people, the dough could not be kneaded at one time, so Jiayi had to knead it in stages, and it took a total of five large doughs to knead before stopping.
Thanks to Jia Yi's practice of Tai Chi, he has a magic power that runs through his whole body, otherwise it is not easy to knead noodles that are enough for 25 people to eat, even with the assistance of magic, Jia Yi kneaded so much dough, and his arms began to become sore.
The dough is not kneaded yet, it is still rolled into a sheet, and at this step, Jiayi is not ready to come by himself. Kneading dough is relatively more skillful, and because Jia Yi has practiced Tai Chi, I don't know when he started, when kneading dough can knead the magic in the body into the dough, it is difficult to say what special effects there are, but the taste becomes better is absolute.
Jiayi summoned Trudy, he had the most strength, and Jiayi also blessed him with a buff that increased his strength, and then, he began to teach him to roll dough.
Roll out the dough into a dough, then sprinkle with a layer of flour and roll it up with a rolling pin, so that it takes up little space. If you come down a few times, the dough will be rolled out to the thickness of a bank card.
Kaichi propped up the thin dough and took a look, because the thickness was too thin, it almost felt like it was transmitting light.
"Trudy, you're still very talented at rolling noodles, and you can roll them out better than I do. Kaichi said as he folded the dough.
Trudy paused his movements and glanced at Jiayi: "You don't want me to roll the dough in the future, do you?"
Jia made a movement in his hand, holding the grass, and the young man became smarter.
"I'm teaching you a skill, you know, many people are crying and begging me to teach them, and I don't bother to teach them. ”
Trudy continued to roll out the noodles and said, "You have the same tone as my teacher, since I made my first meal, he praised me for my good work, and later, the cooking work was handed over to me." Our people there are more ignorant, and we haven't hired a servant since we ran away in fear of having our hearts and livers gouged out. ”
He raised his head and looked at Jia Yi, and the movements of his hands did not stop: "Really, his tone was almost exactly the same as yours at that time, praising me for my good talent." However, I know my own craft, and I have always wondered how my teacher had lived so many years before, and even my craft was good. ”
Jia Yi was silent, should this be said that the other party's self-perception is accurate. He has not seen Trudy's craft, but he doesn't even recognize himself, which shows that he is not very smart.
"At least your dough rolling skills are really good, you can see it by looking at it. ”
Jiayi propped up the dough and shone it against the light at the door, it was thin and smooth, of course, because he kneaded the dough himself. He then folded the dough and cut the noodles into the width of his little finger with a wind blade, and if he used duck eggs and noodles, he should cut them thinner, because the toughness is harder, and the wider noodles are not easy to cook.
After the noodles are cut, he sprinkles some flour in them, then breaks them up and puts them in a basin, so that the noodles are ready.
After cutting the noodles, Jiayi came to the river, the soup was already boiling, Jiayi opened the pot and looked at it, and put the washed mushrooms in one go, of course, only half of them, and put the rest away for next time.
At this time, Husley walked out and asked Jiayi, "Jiayi, I've made a lot of breadcrumbs you asked me to make, have you come to see enough?"
"How many?" Kaichi jumped on the boat and followed Husley to the galley, where Kaichi immediately saw that on the table in the middle of the galley, there was a large basin full of breadcrumbs.
"So many?" Looking at the pot full of breadcrumbs, Jia Yi didn't know what to say, of course, he blamed himself for not stating how much, and now that there are too many, he can't blame others.
Husley said, "Is it too much? What's the use of this thing?"
"This is breadcrumbs, which are specially used for frying, and I will teach you how to make fish cutlets right away, and you can also use them to fry the rest of the cutlets in the future, which can lock in moisture and make the cutlets more tender and juicy. ”
As he spoke, he activated the badge and called out to Passerbai and asked, "Old Pa, have you cut your fish steaks?" ”
"Alright, where are you?" said Pashai's voice.
After Jiayi heard it, he began to pour vegetable oil into the pot, at this time, the oil was not only the yield, but also the extraction rate was quite low, the oil was still very expensive, and Jiayi was reluctant to pour too much oil into it.
After pouring in the oil from the bottom of a pot, Kaichi put the pot on first, and without directly starting to heat it, he waited for Passerbai to come over with the sliced fish steak.
"Okay, what is the use of cutting the fish steak you want like this? Paser pushed the door open and entered, fish steak in hand.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll teach you a craft, in case you lose it in the future, you won't have to worry about running out of food. On the way to Memphelbo, I taught the first mate on the ship how to cook, and now the business is not known how popular it is, if it weren't for his love of running outside, he would have been able to pass on the business if he hadn't seen more and had more knowledge. ”
"There is no chief mate for inland river vessels, and that is only good for sea vessels. Passerbay grumbled.
Jiayi ignored Passerbai's words, took out the eggs they found, and then broke them and stirred them into egg liquid, and then the fish steak was first marinated with salt and some spices, especially the keel fish steak, and the fish meat was hammered loose with a small hammer, the keel fish meat was too tough, and it was too difficult not to hammer it loose.
After marinating, a slice of keel fish steak and a regular fish steak are stacked on top of each other, hung with egg wash, coated with breadcrumbs, and when the oil pan is hot, the fish steak is fried.
When the fish steak encounters hot oil, the temperature of the breadcrumbs on the surface rises rapidly, the moisture vaporizes, and it turns into a hard shell, and soon, a burst of fried aroma is released.
"Look, just fry it like this, until it's golden brown on both sides, and that's the point now, it's time to start the pot. ”
Kaichi told them the main points of the fish cutlet to Husley, and then gave them the place: "Okay, you fry the rest, I believe that you, as mages, have no problem controlling the temperature, I'll cook the noodles." ”
As he spoke, he brought a whole pot of noodles to the riverbank, and then opened the pot where the soup was boiling and took a look, the sugar was almost gone, and the mushrooms in it were full of soup, and each one became plump and lovely, and he took out his chopsticks and inserted the chicken, which was cooked and almost rotten.
He first put water in the pot and boiled it on the fire, and on the other side, he used the hand of the mage to pick up the chicken in the soup pot and tear it open, and if it could not be torn, he used the wind blade to cut it into pieces, and the forest venison was also cut into small pieces, and then he found a handful of shallots from the lake, chopped them and threw them into the soup, added a little salt, and the soup was ready.
When the water boils, start to cook the noodles in a hot water pot, after cooking, use a fence to remove the noodles, and then scoop a tablespoon of the boiled chicken and deer fish bone broth, pour it onto the noodles, and bring a few pieces of mushrooms, chicken or liner venison pieces.
When he finished finishing all the noodles, a long row was in front of him, which was spectacular, and the rest of the people were already waiting in front of him, but Jia Yi didn't speak, and he didn't know whether to do it for the time being.
When the fish steak was fried and fried, Jia Yi put a piece of each bowl of noodles on top of the fish steak, and then accompanied it with a piece of barbecue, and the bowl of noodles was officially ready.
"Alright, everyone can officially start eating. ”
