Chapter 8 Don't think I don't know your true purpose

Cao Jie, who was standing in front of the workbench, closed his eyes, took a deep breath quietly, quickly concluded a repulsive handprint in his hand, and quickly slapped the tabletop, and the various ingredients on the board flew upward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Immediately Cao Jie's eyes opened suddenly, the light in his eyes flashed, he jumped up, and at the same time pulled out the kitchen knife on the knife stand, and quickly waved it when the ingredients were about to fall from the highest point.

At the same time, Cao Jie, who landed on the ground, did not mean to stop, with the help of a half-squat to slow down the impact of the fall, the right hand of the kitchen knife held by Cao Jie quickly danced, and then got up and picked up a cleaned carrot and cut it, and in a moment, a whole carrot turned into a plate of scattered shredded carrots.

Turn on the stove, heat up the oil pan, pour the three ingredients into the pan and stir-fry, add chopped green onion and minced garlic, and season with an appropriate amount of sesame oil and oil...... The preparation of the filling is complete.

However, the most important thing in making dumplings is the skin. If the bun wrapper is a thick cotton jacket that locks the flavor in it, and the roasted wheat wrapper is a thin light gauze that contains the filling, then the dumpling wrapper must be considered a coat in between. Because dumplings can only be steamed like siu mai, the wrappers must have a certain strength to ensure that the filling does not break during the cooking process, and at the same time, it must not be as thick as the bun wrappers to mask the flavor of the filling.

When kneading the dough, Cao Jie added eggs, which can make the dumplings more flavorful, and then kneaded the dough into long strips, Cao Jie pulled one of the ends and threw it upward, this huge "noodle" flew upwards like a long dragon, but Cao Jie did not give this "long dragon" a chance to fly up to the "clouds", when throwing out, the right hand quickly pulled out the kitchen knife stuck on the board and shook it horizontally, when waving the rotating kitchen knife and the "long dragon" When they came into contact, the scene of the fierce battle between the two did not appear, but the kitchen knife always had the upper hand, breaking the "long dragon" into countless agents and falling on the table.

I took a piece of medicine in my hand, slapped it with the palm of my hand and flattened it, and rolled it into a thin and thick round piece with a rolling pin, and a dumpling skin was completed. Concocted according to the law, soon a white "hill" appeared on the table. Take a dumpling wrapper, scoop a spoonful of filling and put it in the middle, fold it in half, and pinch your thumb and index finger vigorously at the edge, and a dumpling is complete......

The stove started the fire again, set up a frying pan, poured a small amount of oil, and arranged the dumplings into the pan in a radial shape to fry until it was set, Cao Jie quickly reduced the strength of the flame array, poured in the sauce outlined by flour and water, and when the water in the sauce slowly decreased and the remaining flour paste, Cao Jie immediately increased the intensity of the flame array, and the increased flame quickly dried the last water in the sauce, forming a snowflake-like texture......

"Fortunately, the craft has not regressed. Drying his hands, Cao Jie looked at the plate of fried dumplings in front of him with satisfaction. It was at this time that an old man with white hair suddenly entered the store.

"Xiaojie, what are you doing again? I can smell it from afar. As soon as he entered the store, the old man smiled and asked Cao Jie.

"Old man Guo," looking at the visitor, Cao Jie also responded with a smile, "Don't make fun of me, it's better to drink a cup of tea, right? ”

"Hey, you kid is getting bigger and smaller. Listening to Cao Jie's title, Guo Lao scolded with a smile, "I think I'm old, I think you weren't as old as Hong Ying's girl back then." ”

"Old man, don't bury me, can we not mention the past?" Cao Jie's face couldn't help but turn red, when he and his sister first came here ten years ago, they were not less "cared for" by this old man Guo.

"Okay, okay, don't mention it, don't mention it, make tea, make tea. Guo Lao waved his hand, but it was not difficult to see in his smiling eyes that he was still recalling the previous story.

Tea drink Xiaoyun is a major specialty of Jiang country's famous tea, with the characteristics of aroma, sweet taste, etc., and the yield is the highest in Jiang country's famous tea, so the people of Jiang country more or less have the habit of drinking tea and drinking small rhyme.

Habitually taking out the tea box of Xiaoyun, Cao Jie carefully rolled up a pinch of tea leaves with mana, quickly soaked them in boiling water and put them into the teacup. The biggest feature of tea sauce is that the taste changes with the change of temperature, so it is necessary to inject boiling water in one go to achieve the sweetest taste when brewing.

"Old man, please use it slowly. Putting the teacup in front of and behind Guo Lao, Cao Jie returned to the workbench to prepare to taste the ice flower fried dumplings that had just been completed.

"Aren't you going to invite the old man for me to taste?" As soon as he picked up a dumpling and didn't import it, Guo Lao's voice came from behind him.

Cao Jie smiled helplessly, this cynical old man. Came to Guo Lao's table with a plate and sat down, Cao Jie made a gesture of please: "Ice flower fried dumplings, please use them slowly." ”

The dumplings in a circle and the "ice flowers" that connect each dumpling do have a unique beauty. Guo Lao picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth and took a bite, and with the cracking of the crispy dumpling skin, the three flavors of fresh, crispy and sweet instantly swept the tip of Guo Lao's tongue.

"It's delicious, and it can be achieved without using any meat, and it's worthy of being the youngest master pastry chef ever. Guo Lao praised without hesitation, "Your craftsmanship is still so good." ”

Guo Lao's words seemed to touch Cao Jie's heart, but Cao Jie still looked sloppy with an unchanged face: "That's all in the past, there's nothing to mention." ”

"Do you really want to just stay in this store for the rest of your life?" Guo Lao still continued his persuasion, "I have also seen you all these years, even if it is not for yourself, you should think about Sichen and Siying, you don't want to give them a better life?"

"I think it's good now, the two children are healthy. And I can't bear you neighbors who love to eat what I make. Cao Jie grabbed the fried dumplings he had put down before with a hippie smile and stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them.

"You're still so slippery. Guo Lao also understood that it was not easy to persuade Cao Jie to continue to struggle, so he stopped persuading after smiling, "Don't say it, let me enjoy the food today, I don't know when I will be able to eat it next time!"

After speaking, Guo Lao brought the fried dumplings to his front and continued to taste them. And Cao Jie has long been surprised by the behavior of these older generation of foodies, in addition to the practice of maintaining the feel of the hand, the number of times he has made pastries is only a handful, which will naturally make these old gourmets who have long been raised by themselves complain, and come to persuade themselves to "go out of the mountain" every once in a while.

It's just that......

Cao Jie's mind couldn't help but think of the ice flower dumplings he had just eaten......
