Chapter 676 Which boy can refuse a pink and tender peach? Liu Sui’s way of eating! [Please subscribe]
"Master Qi, how hard should Da Taozi's noodles be?"
When Wei Gan saw Qi Siming starting to make big peaches, he asked curiously.
Qi Siming put the dough on the workbench, pressed it with a rolling pin and said:
"The harder the better, the minimum hardness must be that of knife-cut noodles, otherwise the dough will deform or even crack when baked, which will affect the final presentation."
Wei Qian looked at the way he was struggling and felt that this noodle was a bit difficult.
Especially for those who are not proficient in baking, wet dough and hard dough are both difficulties for pastry chefs.
Niu Chuang said:
"Just go to the pastry department and work overtime these two days. Although you may not be able to reach the level of our boss, you can still be a peach."
Upon hearing this, Wei Gan felt relieved.
Qi Siming used a rolling pin to flatten the hard dough little by little. The entire dough was covered with indentations from the rolling pin.
After finishing the work, I took the rolling pin and rolled out the thick hard dough as much as possible. This process was very slow, but it was this slowness that made the rolled out dough very smooth.
Roll out the dough, cut it in the middle with a kitchen knife, and divide it into two halves.
The two halves of the longevity peach must be determined at the beginning and made separately, so that the longevity peach will be beautiful and complete.
If you put the pastry on the dough and then cut it, it will cause cracks, and may even cause the oil to seep out, affecting the appearance.
After dividing, take the remaining half of the pastry dough, separate it again, roll it into two pastry dough sheets, and stack them on the hard dough sheets.
Then take the jam over and carefully brush a layer on it.
Qi Siming said while doing this:
"This step didn't exist in the past. It's all because today's people are naughty and force chefs to make improvements... There shouldn't be too much jam in this layer, otherwise it will roll out when rolling it out. It's such a thin layer, if you want it to taste delicious. , you have to make the flavor stronger, otherwise the flavor will not come out."
In the past, pancakes were made of white flour. In the era when food and clothing were scarce, they were slightly sweet and had a crispy texture, making them a rare snack.
But now that there are abundant materials, adults, let alone children, don’t like to eat this kind of dough pancakes, so they add jam to add a new flavor to the dough pieces.
When Wei Gan heard it, he quickly wrote it down. This step is very important for rich jam.
Aunt Sun asked:
"If you don't like jam, what else can you put in it?"
"Put in crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, and add some brown sugar, but not too much, just a thin layer."
After Qi Siming finished speaking, he grabbed the prepared peanuts and sesame seeds and sprinkled them on the jam, rolled it out with a rolling pin, and then folded the two dough pieces in half according to the three-fold method.
After folding, don't roll it out in a hurry. You have to put it aside to relax first.
This will allow the dough pieces to fit together as closely as possible.
After relaxing for a while, roll out the dough, carefully roll it out, then fold it in half and relax again.
Roll both dough pieces into round cakes, take the mold over and place it on the chopping board, then cover the rolled dough piece, remove the excess corners, place it directly on the baking sheet, and send it to the oven for processing Bake.
These two dough pieces are very large and need to be baked for a while.
After making the big peach dough, Qi Siming took Niu Chuanghe's green dough, divided it into two halves, and then rolled out the two doughs respectively.
He said to Wei Qian:
"The green leaves should not be too big, but the color must be good. If the amount of green juice is not enough, you can add some matcha powder or mugwort juice to increase the green color as much as possible."
Roll it out, apply a layer of lard on the inside, fold it in half several times, roll it out again, and sprinkle a layer of crushed peanuts and sesame seeds.
Fold it in half and wrap it properly, then roll it into a long and thin strip, as close as possible to the shape of a peach leaf.
Roll it out and press the leaf pattern in the middle, then put it in another oven for baking.
"The leaves are just for matching. If you want to be more careful, you can also make some veins, but in that case, the leaves will be too beautiful and will overwhelm the others. It's not necessary."
The purpose of making the peach super huge is to attract everyone's attention.
If the green leaves are made lifelike, the guests will turn their eyes from the peaches to the leaves, which will visually overwhelm the guests, which is not good.
Therefore, the leaves should be made more scrawled, without taking them too seriously.
At this time, a lot of little peaches have been wrapped, and Shen Jiayue carefully sprayed plant pigments on each package.
The small peaches that have been sprayed with pigment must be carefully placed on a baking tray lined with baking paper. If there is enough for one tray, they are sent to the pastry department, where they are baked in the large oven.
All the peaches were wrapped, Lin Xu wiped his hands and said:
"Finally it's done. I'm more tired than making cakes this time."
The reason why Chinese desserts are declining is that there are too many manual procedures and too much experience. In the past, if an apprentice wanted to become a master in his own right, it would take ten years of hard work.
As for Western-style dim sum, there is no such thing.
There are crash courses for cake training in various places. It takes one month to open a store and two months to open a store. Even many chain franchisees provide training and promise to provide training and skills.
The same dim sum takes ten years to make on one side and two to three months on the other.
In this comparison, Chinese dim sum naturally does not have many advantages.
"What's next?"
Shen Jiayue took a small spray bottle and sprayed it twice on the workbench. She was like a hyperactive child who couldn't sit still at all.
Lin Xu confiscated the small watering can in her hand again and reassigned some tasks:
"Next, we need to make some adhesive. Mash the steamed glutinous rice into a paste. The more paste the better, so that we can stick the big peach together."
Shen Jiayue was stunned:
"Shall I do it?"
"Yes, it saves you from using up the pigment."
Shen Jiayue pouted, Niu Chuang went to the pastry department and dug out a bowl of steamed glutinous rice and brought it over. Lin Xu sprinkled some soft white sugar into it while it was still hot, and added some custard powder for coloring.<
/p>
Try to make the glutinous rice paste the same color as the big peach.
Shen Jiayue cleaned a small ceramic jar used for making desserts, wiped off the water, poured the glutinous rice balls into it, and pounded it with a mallet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
She was a little reluctant at first, but once she felt the fun, she got excited.
Watch as the glutinous rice balls inside gradually turn into sticky and stringy glutinous rice paste. At the same time, the soft white sugar melts little by little and is absorbed by the glutinous rice balls, making the glutinous rice even more sticky.
The whole process seems very relaxing, and as the pounding progresses, the glutinous rice balls become smoother and smoother, giving Shen Jiayue the feeling of making glutinous rice cakes.
Hoho, I just realized that making glutinous rice cake is so easy.
I secretly filmed a VLOG about making glutinous rice cakes later to save netizens from always saying that I am not good at cooking.
At this moment, Lin Xu was explaining to Wei Qian the essentials of making longevity peaches. Shen Jiayue looked at him and asked:
"Xubao, can Ciba just keep pushing like this?"
"Tianba doesn't use sugar. If you add sugar, it will be easy to burn when fried. Usually there will be some fillings inside."
Hoho, it’s so simple. It seems it’s time for me, Chef Shen, to show off my skills!
At this time, Lin Xu opened the oven for baking the big peaches. The dough had dried and the surface had hardened. He took it out carefully and removed the stainless steel mold inside.
Once the dough is shaped, you must take out the mold, otherwise the dough will not be baked through easily, and the stainless steel mold heats up quickly and remains at a high temperature, which will cause the dough attached to it to fall off.
After removing it, put it in the oven and continue baking at a low temperature to bake out as much moisture as possible from the dough, which can effectively prevent the dough from softening and collapsing.
When Shen Jiayue finished making the glutinous rice paste, those little pink peaches were baked in the large oven of the pastry department.
When they were taken out of the oven, Ji Minghui, who was explaining the essentials of pastry to the chefs, couldn't help turning his face. The chefs also looked sideways, staring at these little peaches.
Wei Gan smiled and said:
"No man can refuse pink food. If there is any, then have another plate."
Zhu Yong glanced at him with contempt:
"Is this being beaten into a girl by Tiantian?"
"Gungun, you are such a sissy. My Tiantian hasn't hit me for more than a month. Don't talk nonsense..."
Before he finished speaking, he realized there was something wrong with his words and said:
"It's not about beating me, it's about urging me to exercise. Do you know how it feels to have developed abdominal muscles for the first time in more than 20 years since I was born?"
Compared with the Diaoyutai period, Wei Gan has lost a lot of weight now, his originally chubby face has turned into a long face, and his figure has become healthy and well-proportioned.
Zhu Yong snorted:
"I also practice boxing every day, am I proud?"
Zhuang Yizhou laughed and said:
"Are you practicing boxing or being a punching bag?"
Zhu Yong's old face turned red:
"Can this couple's affair be called being a punching bag? This is a sweet little fistfight. You don't understand... My uncle plans to let me take Lulu home, but I'm afraid Lulu won't agree. What do you think we should do? ?"
Wei Qian and the others said in unison:
"Then let her get a beating!"
Bringing the baked peaches to the small kitchen, Shen Jiayue came over with her mouth watering. These pink and cute little peaches are so adorable.
She took out her mobile phone and started shooting by simulating a slide rail.
When she was about to finish taking the photo, she saw a small peach filled with brown sugar and peanuts cracked. Seeing the thick brown sugar flowing out of the cracked part, she couldn't help but pinch it.
"This seems to be cracked, let me take care of it."
After saying that, she sucked on the cracked part, and the sweet feeling was so delicious.
Then I tasted the skin of the small peach. It was fragrant and crispy, and also had a light milky aroma. It was more delicious than expected.
"This peach is delicious, I think we can serve it in the store."
In the store?
Lin Xu only felt that the audience for this traditional longevity peach was not very large, and he never thought of monetizing it.
But Guobao Baobao's suggestion made him think of another direction, which was to customize a birthday banquet!
It is impossible to sell this kind of longevity peaches as a new dish in the store. After all, it takes too long. It is estimated that the customers will be full and drunk before they are baked.
But it’s no problem to get it on the table, or even include the dishes directly in a high-end birthday banquet.
As for the longevity peaches, they can also be divided into three sizes: large, extra large, and extra large. The number of small birthday peaches included varies and can be changed according to the number of guests.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said:
"It's a good idea. Let's warm it up among the customer base starting tomorrow and see if anyone likes it."
At this time, the leaves were already baked. Lin Xu took it out from the oven, found a very large plate with a diameter of two feet, and placed two leaves in it.
Take out the green juice and spray another layer on the leaves while it's hot to increase the color.
After doing this, the big peaches have been roasted. Take them out from the oven, carefully place them on the work surface, and then put the roasted small peaches in one by one.
When placing the items, be careful not to put some peaches with missing fillings inside, otherwise the peaches will be all over the place, affecting the appearance.
Shen Jiayue deliberately picked out the small peaches with their fillings exposed, put them on a plate and took them outside for Lao Suntou, Xiao Qingshuyun and others to taste.
The skin of the small peach is soft and soft, and different fillings have different flavors. They taste very delicious.
In the kitchen, Lin Xu packed the small peaches into the big peach as much as possible, spread a layer of glutinous rice paste evenly on the edge of the big peach, then buckled the other half, squeezed carefully, and used the stickiness of the glutinous rice to make the two sides.
Half a large peach glued together.
While he was doing this, Qi Siming held a hair dryer and blew air on the bonded area to speed up the bonding.
When the glutinous rice paste is a little dry, carefully stand the peach up and start coloring.
Use a watering can to start spraying red juice on the surface of the peach.
The water mist sprayed from the watering can is very fine. When sprayed on the peaches, it gives people a feeling of blurred colors. It looks very comfortable and has a strong sense of reality.
After the red juice is sprayed, hold the peach in both hands and carefully put it on the large plate.
At this point, the entire Baizi Shoudao is officially completed.
Although this snack is called Baiko Shoudao, it can only hold dozens of peaches. If you want to make 100 peaches, the diameter of the peaches is estimated to be more than 80 centimeters, or the peaches should be made smaller.
p>
But none of this is necessary. This book is just for fun, so there is no need to really pick out the words.
After carrying the plate outside, Xiao Qing and Shu Yun immediately gathered around, holding up their mobile phones and taking pictures:
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"Yes, it's big and beautiful. It's much more grand than a three-layer cake."
"It's a pity that it's too far away from my hometown. Otherwise, I would definitely order one for my grandma's birthday."
"Come and take a photo with me. It's my first time seeing such a big peach, so I have to keep it as a souvenir."
"..."
This will keep the waiters and kitchen people from being busy before dinner time. When the big peaches are ready, everyone will gather around and start taking pictures with their mobile phones.
Some of the photos and short videos taken were sent to the fan group, some to the customer group, and some were posted directly to the topic of Linji Food.
The blind taxi driver who had just driven to Miyun and others saw a series of surprised expressions:
"Here, such a big peach, is it freshly made?"
"Awesome, awesome, we just arrived in Miyun, and before we even had time to check in with the gambling and drug addict, Boss Lin actually came up with a new trick."
"I don't know how this peach is sold. I really want to try it."
"Me too, I want to try it, it will be very delicious."
In the store, after everyone had finished taking photos, Xiao Qing asked:
"How do you eat this thing? Is it like smashing the golden eggs in the variety show, just smash them directly?"
Lin Xu smiled and shook his head:
"There are many ways to eat it. If you are strong enough, you can just break it open. The peach is in two halves anyway. You can also use a dessert knife to make a small opening from the side."
After saying that, he took a bread knife and drew a square shape on the peach.
With a little more force, I took the piece of dough away, and the small peach inside was completely exposed, and at the same time, a strong flavor of the dough wafted out.
After cutting it open, Lin Xu took out a small peach and brought it to his mouth and took a bite. It turned out to be stuffed with chocolate hazelnuts. It tasted quite comfortable.
Wei Qian held a dessert tote and took out the small peaches inside for everyone to taste:
"No matter whose birthday is today, I wish him a happy birthday first... The dough and peach leaves of the big peach can also be eaten. Don't waste it. Eat them all and give us your opinions. We will have new ones in the store later."
p>
As soon as they heard about the new arrival, the waiters became even more excited.
The new arrival in the store means that you can often eat this dessert, which feels so good just thinking about it.
Lin Xu said:
"Only make new ones on the table so that they can be prepared in advance."
After speaking, he said to Shu Yun who was eating small peaches stuffed with lotus paste:
"Based on the longevity peach, we will plan birthday banquets of different grades, so that customers who are not short of money but too lazy to bother at home can come to the store to celebrate their birthdays."
"Okay, I'll start formulating it later."
This kind of dishes should pay attention to the combination, but also the meaning and health preservation.
After all, birthday banquets are usually for the elderly. If there are a bunch of spicy, spicy and chewy dishes, wouldn’t it embarrass the birthday girl?
Shu Yun thought for a moment and came up with a countermeasure.
Because the table dishes are customized and can be prepared in advance, the dishes are not restricted. Basically, anything Lin Xu knows can be served.
In fact, Shu Yun also planned to come here.
Tai Chi chicken porridge, five-color chicken porridge, three sets of duck, mother oil boat duck and other dishes are all ready to be listed.
Anyway, it’s high-end cuisine, so naturally it’s how you make money.
The price of such a table of dishes has already reached five figures. Although it seems quite expensive, for people who are not short of money, this little money is nothing compared to the happiness of the elderly.
After eating the birthday peaches, Qi Siming gave Wei Qian a few more instructions, then packed some small birthday peaches and drove to the Huihuang Building to find Zeng Xiaoqi.
Lin Xu ate a small peach, and then tasted the leaves that were filled with the fragrance of wheat seedlings. The sesame and peanut chips inside tasted very good, and they were fragrant and enjoyable to chew.
While eating, Shen Jiayue asked:
"Xubao, how do you eat those willow ears we brought? I'm going to let my parents come to the store to taste them and feel the taste of nature."
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"There are many ways to eat catkins. You can blanch them like you eat them for lunch, and mix them with tofu. You can also steam them, stir-fry them, make steamed buns, or even wrap them in batter and fry them. You can do whatever you want. Delicious."
"Wow, can you cook them all for me? I want to try them all... Unfortunately, they don't seem to be sold in Beijing, so I can't even eat them if I want to."
Lin Xu would naturally not refuse such a request.
As for the lack of food in the capital, it doesn’t matter. You can still eat it in Yinzhou later.
"Wouldn't you be old by then?"
Lin Xu shook his head:
"You can boil it like sophora flowers and then dry it in the sun. It can be stored for a long time... Let's make what we brought today first. If you like it, just ask Fang Hongyan to buy some for you later."
After saying that, he returned to the kitchen and began to prepare Liu Sui.
