"What is it?" Li Zhaodun was curious when he heard Chen Nian say this.

"This needs to be kept confidential, but it won't be too long even if it is made." Chen Nian kept it a secret, "You will know in a few days."

Li Zhao had not yet identified his identity. Although Chen Nian had guessed it, the other party did not say it, so Chen Nian pretended to be confused.

Li Zhao did not get the answer he wanted, but he did not continue to ask because he knew that the better the food, the more time it would have to be polished.

As the old man is so mysterious, the new dessert must be very exciting.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news. You must leave some for me when it is made and don't sell it so quickly."

"Don't worry, I'll send it to Fu Xin's mansion at that time." Chen Nian patted his chest and promised.

Then Li Zhao took the Qianguocake that Chen Nian had prepared for him back.

This time, Li Zhao paid the money normally. He was not short of this money, and Chen Nian could not always refuse the party.

Although they are friends, sometimes they still have to pay between friends.

As friends, we should still take care of each other, rather than just taking the gifts from friends for granted.

As for Chen Nian at the beginning, it was because he wanted to gain the friendship between the other party in this way, which was a way and method to throw a stone into the question.

Just after Li Zhao left, Lu Ke looked at Chen Nian curiously: "Xiao Nian, what snack are you going to make?"

Chen Nian thought about it and replied: "Puff."

“?What is that?”

"A dessert may be a little troublesome to make, but if it can be made, it will definitely make the name of Lu Wanxing's dim sum shop sound again, and outsiders will definitely not be able to learn this thing." Chen Nian was very confident about it.

.

Because he had already learned about this before, there was still a certain difference between this world and the history he knew. For example, the Tang and Song lyrics he often memorized when he was in school were not here.

Moreover, the various systems of Daxia are a bit like the Pinduoduo model of several dynasties in history, integrating them.

However, it is quite developed in food cooking, but the development of dairy products is still in a relatively primitive stage, which means that some foreigners can send some cheese, dry milk and so on.

You should know that in the history that is well known to Aged, the folks in the pre-Qin period had the custom of eating cheese, and the production and processing of dairy products were further developed during the Qin and Han dynasties.

Even during the Han Dynasty, the Huns had already used horse milk to make horse milk wine.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a book called "Qimin Yaoshu". When Chen Nian went to school, he only knew that this was a comprehensive agricultural work written by Jia Sijie, an outstanding Chinese agronomist. However, he later discovered that the food recorded here was

There are so many ways to do it.

It records various dairy products, such as milk powder, cheese, cheese, dried milk, fermented cheese, etc.

I was still in college in the past two years, and I even looked at it carefully. I found that many dairy products are almost the same as today, except that the processing tools, efficiency and precision are much stronger.

When it came to the Tang Dynasty, it was a bit crispy, which was the cream from that time.

It is neither solid nor thick, and it disappears when touching white teeth.

Jade fingers are cut with Luo Sheng, and gold plates are decorated with Sushan.

These are all used to describe the butter of the Tang Dynasty.

There is even the shadow of Sushan in many unearthed paintings.

So much so that in the later Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, the cream technology became more and more sophisticated.

"Put the milk into the kettle, fry for two or three boils, pour it into the basin, cool down, wait until the noodles are crusted, take the skin and fry again, the oil is removed and the residue is put into the pot and it becomes ghee. The northern name is Ma Si Ge." This is close to the point of Modern technology for making cream.

But I have never heard of it in this world, so this is also an opportunity to age.

There are many ways to make cream, and there are four or five kinds of things that Aged alone knows, and there are more things that you don’t know.

The easiest thing is to use milk and gelatin. Just put both into the pot, then add sugar and stir until the sugar and gelatin melt, then wait for it to cool, and then use an egg whisk after refrigeration for half an hour. Just whip it away.

But there is no such thing as gelatin in this era. Although Chen Nian knows how to make it, it is a little troublesome to make it, so Chen Nian plans to try it with other methods first.

Then make sufficient preparations and try and compare the other methods.

The ingredients that Aged intends to use this time are egg white, milk and sugar.

However, after thinking about it, Chen Nian found that he could get sugar and eggs. As for milk, he could only find Fu Xin, but Chen Nian didn't want to bother the other party.

So today I put my mind on my cousin again.

If it's a cousin... it should be...

"Sister, do you have a way to get milk?"

Lu Ke naturally knew about cow milk, but the output of this thing was very rare.

"You are planning to use this to make new snacks?" Lu Ke turned around.

"right."

"The cost of this milk is higher than that of fruit, but you should have a way to sell it. If you want to use it, I'll ask in the afternoon."

"Then I'll bother my cousin. Don't worry, if you make new dim sum, you will definitely become a new hit product in our store. It is also the only existence of Scorpion's Papa, the whole Daxia!"

Hearing Chen Nian's metaphor, Lu Ke couldn't help but spat: "What are you talking about? Who uses this kind of thing to metaphor for eating?"

"Haha, that's what it means anyway."

Afterwards, Lu Ke promised to get milk in the afternoon. At the beginning, it didn't take too much aging, so Lu Ke asked him to get three pounds back and try it out.

After all, he only made it in school before, and it was not for cooking food, but for writing reports for experiments.

He still doesn't know what the difference between the milk squeezed out by the scalpers or cows during this period and the later cows. If it doesn't work, then you should consider using goat's milk.

But Chen Nian also thinks that the problem should not be big. After all, the ancients could make cream. They are a modern person who has learned all kinds of knowledge and are still a food major. If they can't make it, it would be too good to be It's right.

After lunch, Lu Ke went out for a while, and it took about half an hour before he came back from a distance with a smile and was holding a bucket in his arms.

Back to the store: "The milk you want is coming, it's just squeezed out."

"Thank you sister, then I'll go back to the back first. The snacks in the store are almost the same, and they will be ready in about a quarter of an hour." After explaining what happened in the store, Chen Nian went back to the kitchen with the milk.

In addition, he had prepared sugar and eggs, as well as various containers and tools.

Some tools he started making a long time ago, such as the egg whisk, and the cream is better to use.

Although the production is a bit simple, it is definitely enough.

The milk that just came out cannot be drunk, so I treated it first before putting it aside for later use.

First, beat two egg whites into the bowl, and use an egg whisk to beat the egg white in the same direction to create foam that can cover the surface of the egg white.

Then I scooped up about 50 ml of milk, about 50 grams of white sugar, and a little oil into it, and continued to beat it in the same direction.

It kept stirring like this.

After that, Chen Nian added milk and sugar in the same portion as before three times, and added oil once in the middle.

When the hand was almost broken, the mixture of milk, egg white and sugar in the pot had now become extremely delicate and thick.

If you pick it up, it won’t drip, which means that the aged product has been successfully made.

I didn't expect that it would be successfully made for the first time, which undoubtedly gave Chen Nian great confidence.

It is easier to make things within the scope of knowledge.

I picked up some and tasted it, and it was indeed similar to butter.

Then Chen Nian started to make the skin outside the puff with low-gluten flour.

Originally, I actually needed to use butter when I made puff peel. Although I know the method of extracting butter, it is still a bit more troublesome.

So Aged plans to make it directly with vegetable oil.

If you make it with vegetable oil, you need to reduce it slightly.

First, add an appropriate amount of water, appropriate amount of vegetable oil, and sugar to the pot, and boil it with boiling water.

At this time, pour the low-gluten flour into it and stir quickly until evenly. After the dry powder is completely merged with the liquid in the original pot, stir-fry slowly over low heat and wait until the flour is completely cooked.

Then pour the batter into a basin and spread it to room temperature. Add three egg liquids in a small amount of eggs several times until the egg liquid is fully mixed with the egg white.

The batter also became very thick at this time.

Looking at the state in the pot, Chen Nian couldn't help but exclaim: "It smells like that."

Puff's skin is about to be prepared.

Although Lu Wanxing’s dim sum shop mainly sells pastries, it also sells some cakes, although there are not many, so there are also scones for baking pancakes in the store.

First prepare a tray, and then put the batter that had just been stirred into a container that had been prepared in advance.

This container was also made by Aoan himself for piping.

The animal's skin is behind, and the small mouth in front that looks a little wrinkled is a piping head.

Then, just squeeze it gently, and the batter was squeezed out of the piping head. The shape was basically the same as the puff, but it looked a little rougher.

But this is no longer a question that Chen Nian should consider. Now he can make puffs, which is a success.

I squeezed seven or eight of them first and pushed them into the oven.

Burn and bake.
