It’s just that there is no baking powder in the store now, so I need to go out and buy some for aging.

Because the usual noodle preparation in the store is basically scallion oil noodles, now I have added Chongqing noodles, but there is no need for baking powder.

Feng Honghong sometimes doesn't eat in the store at night, but even when she goes home to eat steamed buns and stuffed buns, most of them are bought.

Although she can do it, Feng Honghong is too lazy to do it.

But fortunately, the street where Chen Nian's house is located is a relatively lively residential area, so you don't have to go too far to buy anything, and you don't have to go to the big vegetable market just for a piece of baking powder or smaller vegetables.

You can also buy them in stores.

I have learned about the aging of baking powder before when I was in school. It is a compound leavening agent, which is a white powder made by adding acidic materials to soda ash and using corn flour as a filler.

When he was making buns before, he only thought of using yeast, but not baking powder. He mainly thought that both of them are leavening agents, but yeast is a biological leavening agent.

But right now it seems that it would be better to use both together.

Not long after, I bought some baking powder. After seeing the baking powder, Feng Honghong insisted on taking the aging test: "You used to tell me about the things you learned, so you know about baking powder?"

What’s the principle?”

This question just happened to be asked about Chen Nian's profession. Just now, Chen Nian was bored and reminiscing on the way to buy baking powder. At this time, when his mother asked the question, Chen Nian replied: "Baking powder is acidic when it comes into contact with water."

and alkaline powder are dissolved in water at the same time and react, some of them will start to release carbon dioxide, and at the same time, more gas will be released during the baking and heating process, and these gases will make the product expand and become soft."

Although it is a scientific explanation, since there are no special terms in it, everyone understands it.

It was also the first time that Feng Honghong heard about the reaction principle of baking powder, but she didn't want to praise her son so much. Originally, she wanted to avenge her son for using the professional knowledge she had learned to refute the rumors, but she didn't expect that her son would

I was actually able to answer it.

At this time, she picked up the old baking powder and looked at it: "No, why did you buy edible baking powder? You should buy the sweet type for this."

"Why? I remember that sweet baking powder is used to make cakes?"

"Yes, I'm making cakes, but it's better to put sweet baking powder when making Xiao Long Bao. Moreover, the buns made with sweet baking powder are more delicate inside and have a chewier texture."

"If you still have such particularity, then I'll go buy some more." After saying that, Chen Nian went out again, but within a few seconds he came back and put the bag of baking powder he bought earlier back on, "I'll go take a look.

Can you change it?"

After a while, Chen Nian came back again: "The boss changed it for me, but he said that the ones they use to make steamed buns are the practical ones, but I said that my mother asked me to come over and change them, so he gave it to me.

I changed it."

Feng Honghong was a little proud when she heard this: "Then don't you know who your mother is? Your mother still has some respect on this street."

"Yes, yes, my mother has the most face."

As Chen Nian spoke, he looked at the ingredient list behind the sweet baking powder.

It was found that the main ingredients of sweet baking powder are sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, calcium dihydrogen phosphate and alum. In contrast, the main ingredient of edible baking powder is only sodium bicarbonate.

Chen Nian wanted to educate everyone in the store about the uses of the extra ingredients in sweet baking powder, but no one was interested.

It is also difficult for them to understand the terminology of hydrogen ions being released in stages, heating and releasing, etc. Anyway, they just get a general idea, and it doesn’t make much difference whether they understand or not.

It is not necessary to use a refrigerator to understand all the working principles of the refrigerator. You only need to know how to keep food fresh and frozen when you put it in it.

The waiting process is a bit difficult. Although Chongqing noodles have just been launched, it is obvious that Chen Nian has lost his enthusiasm for Chongqing noodles.

When Chen Nian didn't make Chongqing noodles well, he was curious to explore. But once he understood it, it just became a mechanical and repetitive work. Even if it was customized for some regular customers, then

It's just about having some fun while working.

As for the satisfied smiling faces of customers, it is like the satisfied praise of a leader when receiving a PPT made by his subordinates. Although it will also make people feel happy, it is just a temporary joy.

Therefore, the only time when aging can make you feel passionate is when you develop new dishes.

The pursuit of knowledge and exploration of the unknown, as well as the drive and drive to make a dish perfect, make Chen Nian addictive.

While eating the staff meal in the afternoon, Chen Nian's cell phone suddenly rang. I took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from An Hongdou.

Open it quietly.

Hongdou: "Chef Chen, I heard that your store has Chongqing noodles, why didn't you ask me to try it?"

After reading it, Chen Nian immediately clicked on the screen with one hand and replied: "No way, wasn't this just launched today? And you won't be going to the music festival in a while, I thought I would wait until you are done with your work during this period.

Say it again."

Hongdou: "Men like to make excuses. I think they are emotionally weak."

Chen Nian couldn't help but smile when he saw this, but he quickly remembered that the occasion was wrong and there were many people at the dinner table, so he quickly put it away and continued to reply: "I don't know when the big star will come to my place when he has time.

Sit down, it just so happens that I’ve been working on something new recently.”

Hongdou: "New dish?"

Old vinegar: "Yes."

Hongdou: "Then let me think about it..."

After An Hongdou sent this message, she threw her phone aside, thinking, how can I invite someone like this, and I have to tell the time myself?

This is too insincere. If I tell myself that the time will pass, wouldn’t it look like I have to rush there?

But a while after she sent this message, there was no news from Chen Nian before she came back. This made her wonder, was Chen Nian waiting for her to take the initiative to say the time?

"Fortunately, I thought he was quite considerate before, but why has he become so scheming now? He actually used this method to hook me, and you want me to take the initiative to say it, right?" An Hongdou kept thinking about various possibilities in her mind.

sex.

"Maybe he didn't think too much about it. After all, he didn't seem to say when he would be free just now, and he did say there would be a music festival before..."

An Hongdou kept rolling on the bed: "No, I just took the initiative to tell him about Chongqing noodles, and this idiot still doesn't understand what I mean. It's hard for people not to think about that, forget it.

, I’d better wait for him to invite me.”

But she lay quietly on the bed for a while, but there was still no news.

An Hongdou couldn't help but wonder in her heart if she was worrying too much?

In fact, there isn’t that much thought behind aging at all?

Do you simply want to determine your own time?

After all, Chen Nian has always been rigorous in his work and would not do anything if he was not very sure. If Chen Nian feels that he hastily announced a time to invite himself, it will be a bit embarrassing if he happens to be unavailable.

It is possible.

Thinking of this, An Hongdou picked up her phone and started editing messages.

"It's not impossible to do it today."

But before I could click send after editing the message, Chen Nian finally sent a message in the dialog box.

"I just finished my meal and quickly cleared away my bowls. I didn't have time to reply to the message."

But right after this message, there was another message from Chen Nian: "Is it okay tonight? The new dish I researched has made some progress today, so I can come over and try it. None of them have tasted it yet.

Woolen cloth."

When An Hongdou heard this, she couldn't help but pout: "What...it turns out that he was about to pack up the dishes, which made him think so much in vain, but it seems that this guy is not that stupid after all."

While thinking this, An Hongdou blushed alone and looked at the lines of words on the phone.

After reading it again a few times to make sure that I had not misinterpreted the meaning of those words, I proudly replied with two words.

"Alright."

But after this message was replied, it was like a stone that startled many creatures and beasts in the forest.

Old jealous: "Okay, then we'll see you tonight."

Old jealous: "But it's not safe for you to walk alone at night. I'll pick you up by bike. Anyway, it only takes 5 minutes to go back and forth by bike."

Old vinegar: "By the way, what kind of toppings do you want for the noodles? We have pork ribs, sausage, beef, sauerkraut and shredded pork, and vegetarian noodles."

Old jealous: "You can choose one first, and I can save some for you in advance tonight."

Old Jealousy: "But I'm not in a hurry to make a choice. I'll just take a moment to look at my phone, but I might get busy and have no time to reply to you."

Chen Nian received a series of messages, and An Hongdou's cell phone kept ringing with notifications.

And as long as Chen Nian sends a message, she will receive it immediately. After all, An Hongdou has set Chen Nian to pay special attention to him.

Of course, she also pays great attention to this and never lets Chen Nian see it when meeting her.

But what she didn't know was that Chen Nian also happened to do this.

And speaking of it, they had actually seen each other's WeChat messages, but they were both drunk at the time and no one noticed it.

After the two of them agreed, An Hongdou happily ran to take a shower. Although it was inevitable that her clothes and hair would be stained with some smell after eating noodles at night, she could at least ensure that she smelled good when she entered the store.

It's good if it smells good.

Chen Nian also put his cell phone in his pocket, but what he didn't notice was that everyone had already noticed the weird smile that had been on his face since just now.

Moreover, except for Chen Nian, no one else in the store is single, and Feng Honghong and Wen Hongxia have had too many experiences and seen too many people and things.

As for Xie Yu and Qiao Zhaomei, they were either married or still in a relationship. Naturally, they could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

But Chen Nian had been immersed in his own world and didn't notice the strange looks from other people. It wasn't until he put down his phone later that he felt that everyone was looking at him, but he thought he managed his expression perfectly.
