Takeda Dalang didn't care what his assistant was thinking at all. At this moment, his eyes were focused on Li Yi's hands. I have to say that this child is talented. He has been doing red case work in China, but he only needs him
Just a few clicks and you'll be able to understand everything.
Takeda felt deeply in his heart. Over the years, he has been looking for disciples who can take over his skills. The emperor sent him many disciples from the Neon Kingdom, some older and some younger. It's not that they are not talented enough, but they are always so far behind.
It can be said that the assistant behind him is already the most popular among all his disciples, but he has only grown up under his almost harsh reprimands since childhood.
And Li Yi, now in his twenties, has long passed the best age for learning skills, but his intelligence is especially better than others.
Sure enough, the genes of Chinese people are still superior to those of Neon Country.
Butter and egg whites were added to the flour, and water was slowly added little by little. Li Yi held his breath and kneaded the dough according to Takeda's instructions. He watched the scattered flour gradually turn into moist dough, and then beat and pressed it repeatedly.
, proofing, the surface of the dough becomes round and soft.
The next step is to make the pastry. Add strong shortening to the flour. After it is completely integrated with the flour, there is no need to cover it with plastic wrap. The humidity and temperature of the natural air can be used to wake it up to its best state.
This dough part alone took nearly half an hour. During the continuous high-intensity kneading action, Li Yi felt that his hands no longer felt like his own. His big arms, forearms, and even wrists all experienced
I had a special baptism and was terribly sore.
"Not bad! Xiao Yi, you have a great future!" Takeda looked at the pastry and dough that had been formed in front of him, and sincerely praised it. It completely reached the ideal state in his mind, and it was made in one go, and it didn't take long.
He is definitely a good material for the white case. He is inevitably a little unbalanced. If he had known earlier that Li Yi had such skills, he would have taken him for his own use earlier and not let him waste any more time with the red case.
Li Yi smiled slightly and glanced calmly at Assistant Takeda not far away. Sure enough, he saw an unwilling look on his face again. He moved his position and stood aside without asking for credit: "Teacher Takeda, yes
You teach well."
Takeda was secretly happy and thought highly of Li Yi.
Takeda personally took part in the opening of the puff pastry. His assistant came forward and took off his outer clothes. He also carried a basin to clean his hands and wiped them clean with a white cloth. This kind of thing can be solved by himself, but Takeda chose to do it himself.
If you want to show your attitude as a master, you will inevitably make your assistant feel dissatisfied.
Li Yi secretly laughed, if it were him, he would have poured a basin of water on the old man's forehead, what a bad habit!
Having said that, when Takeda officially started making puff pastry, Li Yi also concentrated on it. This little old man still had some skills. I saw that he first rolled the smooth dough into a long rectangular shape, and then put the puff pastry on it.
, roll it into half the size of a rectangle, fold it to cover, and press it gently with your fingers.
Li Yi only felt that his fingers twisted slightly, and a regular and complete flower shape appeared on the edge of the dough.
This action needs to be repeated several times. Wait until the last time, grind the dough with the butter heart into a thin crust, and cut it into several equal parts with a knife. Takeda slowly overlaps the cut square strips again.
Together, when it is cut, the side surface of the dough is already full of layers of finely chopped layers.
Takeda looked at the time and began to make the shape of a swan. He first used a knife to carve out the shape of a swan on the pastry. These are the wings of the swan. The body of the swan needs to be brushed with egg white on the pastry, wrapped with oval bean paste filling, and pinched again and again.
Make the front part of the swan, flatten the tail directly, cut it off with scissors, and brush the openings on both sides with egg white. The end of the dough is rounded, and the tail is slightly upturned. It already has the rudimentary shape of a bird. Then
Put the wings on it and it will look like a swan.
The final step in testing pastry is frying.
"It's 150 degrees, Mr. Takeda." Li Yi took the thermometer gun and checked the temperature of the oil in the pot. The full pot of oil made the assistant frown again. Neon has always pursued the original taste of food.
Therefore, such a large amount of oil is rarely used. The assistant felt a little disapproving, as it was indeed something from China, and it looked unhealthy.
"Look at it-" Takeda shouted, and slowly put the colander containing the swan embryos into the oil pan. The oil slowly covered the spoon, and then slowly spread around, making a pleasant "sizzling" boiling sound.
The sound sounded. As Takeda's wrist kept shaking up and down, the wings of the swan rising out of the oil slowly opened up, almost as if it was about to spread its wings and fly. But the body of the swan, which was still in the hot oil, kept spitting out
With its own crispy flavor.
Three minutes later, the colander was completely raised from the oil pan. There was no longer any white dough on it, but a white swan with full wings and distinct layers. When the equally edible swan neck was installed, it was complete.
The ugly duckling has become the role model of the white swan.
Li Yi clapped his hands, with three points of flattery and five points of admiration, and praised repeatedly: "Teacher Takeda, you are so awesome. This is not a pastry, this is simply a work of art——"
The assistant was a few seconds late, glared at him, swallowed his words of compliment, and could only applaud along with him.
Takeda was obviously very happy. The feeling of being the focus of attention and being admired by everyone made him feel a little arrogant at the moment, and the look on his face became more and more arrogant. Thinking of Zhang Hua not long after, when he saw his work,
That dumbfounded expression made him even more delighted.
"Xiao Yi, give it a try." Takeda used an extremely soft voice and pushed one of the swans with spread wings to his side.
As expected, the assistant's face was full of jealousy.
Li Yi shook his hands and said with sincere fear: "No, no, no, Teacher Takeda, let them eat first." He pointed at the assistants with a hint of expectation.
The assistant instantly changed into a dog-licking demeanor, and moved to Takeda's side nervously, "Teacher..."
Takeda Dalang ignored him at all and handed the porcelain plate directly to Li Yi's hand, with a trace of unquestionable affirmation on his face: "You can eat what I tell you to eat. Some people are not worthy of eating what I cook."
s things."
At this time, the assistant seemed to have eaten a piece of poop, and his face suddenly turned extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth, feeling resentful in his heart. Not worthy? Takeda Dairo actually said that he was not worthy?
good--
Then let him know who is unworthy!
The assistant could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and quickly walked out of the restaurant door. Inside the door was Takeda Dairo looking at Li Yi amiably, and he could hear Li Yi praising Swan Crisp's rainbow fart.
The assistant's eyes turned cold and he dialed a phone number.
After the bell rang three times and was picked up, the assistant said: "Takeda has a different intention."
