Gourmets of the Heavens

"Get water?"

Looking at the minced meat in front of her eyes, Wei Zhenzhen showed a little puzzlement, she was a bit doubtful about the cooking skills that Zhao Youqian said.

"Is it just adding water to the minced meat? What's the use of that?"

Wei Zhenzhen doesn't understand this kind of cooking technique, which is also very normal, after all, this kind of technique is not so critical to people who are still in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

In this generation, most people can't even eat three meals a day, and most of them still keep the tradition of not eating after noon, saying that it is for the sake of health, but in fact they just don't have so much food to eat.

Wei Zhenzhen's talent in the white table was only due to the fact that she used the most staple foods such as flour and grains. In order to make the family members eat more happily, she put more thought into it.

After all, she still doesn't know much about the craft of making meat stuffing.

Zhao Youqian was not surprised either, he explained the usefulness of these techniques to Wei Zhenzhen little by little, including the method of removing the fishy smell, why it is necessary to fetch water in stages, and why it is necessary to stir in one direction to incorporate the water into the meat filling inside.

It's just that these things don't have much real feeling just by talking about them. You must really taste them to understand the usefulness of these cooking skills.

So every cook will be a good gourmet. This is corresponding. If you don’t even know the basics of a gourmet, how can you cook and complete a gourmet?

This is the so-called aesthetic needs.

On the one hand, Zhao Youqian informed Wei Zhenzhen of these cooking methods, and on the other hand, he was preparing to let her know the source of these flavors when she tasted the flavors of the cooking, so as to deepen a deep understanding in her heart and have an understanding of the basic principles of cooking. .

Knowing what is salty, what is sweet, what is thick, and what is light, these are things that can only be cultivated slowly after letting her taste the benchmark while teaching. The reason why Zhao Youqian will stay with Wei Zhenzhen for two more days is also right here.

Otherwise, just for some basic skills, he can just use his spiritual consciousness to transfer the information and imprint it in Wei Zhenzhen's mind. Why waste time with Lushui?

"You have to learn and taste these things before you can understand. Today, you can taste the difference between this kind of half-baked steamed buns and ordinary steamed buns, and then taste the difference between my steamed buns and yours. the difference."

"This is an area you are familiar with. Start from this aspect and slowly lay the foundation for your cooking system, so that you can better accept and learn a new cooking world."

Since Zhao Youqian recognized Wei Zhenzhen as a registered disciple, he naturally taught him very carefully.

"It's not that the foundation is too superficial, and when I want to learn other things, I feel that the concept is inconsistent."

While talking to Wei Zhenzhen, Zhao Youqian didn't stop his hands, he had already almost forgotten about Sun Erniang's rolling pin, taking it out at this time was also an eye-opener for Wei Zhenzhen.

It's like turning a rolling pin, and a dose becomes a dough.

Soon, the face piled up like a hill, and even Wei Zhenzhen felt that her hands and feet were already smart, and compared with Zhao Youqian's quick hand speed, it seemed to pale in comparison.

Although she learned the art of cooking, Wei Zhenzhen did not underestimate Zhao Youqian's thoughts. After all, she had personally experienced the power of elementary rituals and the incredible miraculous things Zhao Youqian showed.

Therefore, she took every point of Zhao Youqian's actions into consideration. Most people would only find it unbelievable to see Zhao Youqian's faceless face in such a turn, but Wei Zhenzhen, who has already received some basic culinary skills, understands that this It was Zhao Youqian who was showing him one of the main points of Bai's case.

How to exert force!

Take the rolling pin as the center, rotate it around, and just use your fingers to press the dough directly. This means that Zhao Youqian has completed this movement of rolling the dough with only the force of your fingers and the force of rotation.

The light strength is not even stronger than that of Wei Zhenzhen lifting her arm, which also made Wei Zhenzhen realize many things.

Zhao Youqian also took these places that she was fascinated by, and was quite satisfied with such a registered disciple that he temporarily accepted.

'Sure enough, those who are talented are different, unlike someone who has taught the system several times and still looks stupid. '

Shang Xiuxun suddenly noticed that a gaze was on him, but when he looked over again, he found nothing, so he couldn't figure it out, watching Zhao Youqian continue to finish the buns.

Putting the stuffing on the rolled dough is actually quite particular, because it is filled with a lot of broth, so when you put the meat stuffing on the dough, you must use the form of dialing, and put the dough close to the side of the pot of meat stuffing. Then use a chopstick to poke the minced meat a few times, and put some of the minced meat on the dough.

With the meat stuffing on the dough, Zhao Youqian's hands were slightly sunken in the middle, and the outer five fingers pointed upwards, wrapping the stuffing in the middle of the dough, and then closed the mouth in one direction with his hands, pinching the creases.

Soon, a round bun the size of an adult's palm was completed, and appeared in front of Shang Xiuxun and Wei Zhenzhen.

It also made Wei Zhenzhen's eyes brighter, from which she saw many useful little tricks.

However, Zhao Youqian knew that these little skills were not critical, they were not the focus of his teaching this time, these things could also be summed up in the process of Wei Zhenzhen's own learning in the future, so his movements were very coherent, and he didn't stop to explain.

A pile of dough and a pot of minced meat quickly turned into plump buns, which were placed on the steamer.

At this time, the water has not been boiled yet, because Zhao Youqian is preparing the steamed buns and steamed buns out of the pan together, and the steamed bun dough with the old noodles has been fully proofed at this time.

Put the buns on the steamer, sprinkle some dry flour to prevent sticking, then Zhao Youqian opened the covered wooden basin, and put the dough inside in front of Wei Zhenzhen.

At this time, the dough that originally occupied only one-third of the wooden basin has been fully proofed, not only occupying the entire wooden basin, but also there are countless small holes on the smooth dough, which means it is fully fermented Evidence, showing a cellular state.

With a slight sour aroma of fruit wine, Zhao Youqian dipped some dry flour on his hands, and then dug out all the dough in the wooden basin, stirred it again with a rolling pin, and was supported by kitchen utensils, so that it swelled even more back.

The dough of this steamed bun is completely finished. All the fine pores are kneaded into a ball again to form a smooth dough, and then divided into individual doughs and placed on the steamer.

After the water boiled, put the half-leavened buns on the bottom layer, and put the steamed buns on the upper layer, and soon a scent of flour being cooked by steam spread out.

It also aroused the interest of boaters on Lushui.
