Chapter 13 Making of the Golden Incense Circle (Part 2)
The time for Sunday’s Finesse Conference remains unchanged. Everyone is welcome to attend——
After hearing the terms of the three pastries: Wo Wo, candy rolls and golden rings, Nian Bing couldn't help but feel excited. He had heard of at least two of these three kinds of pastries. Candy rolls and golden rings were both famous snacks, but
There are very few people who can master the heat and cook it well. But what is a nest? Since Ming Yuan is known as the King of Cooks, he must be good at clever cooking methods. If you have the opportunity, you must ask for advice on how to make this nest.
.
Xue Jing thought for a while and said: "Uncle Ming, then I want to eat golden fragrant rings. You also know that this is my favorite food. How about you teach me how to make it?"
Ming Yuan deliberately looked frightened and said: "You? Let's forget it. Unless your father agrees to burn down the kitchen of Qingfengzhai, it doesn't matter. I will teach you. Otherwise, uncle still wants to live a few more years and give you more."
How many times can it be delicious? But, girl, although the golden fragrant rings are crispy and oily, they are still a bit oily, which is not very good for the skin."
Xue Jing smiled and said, "I don't eat it every day. It doesn't matter if I eat it once in a while."
Ming Yuan stood up and said: "Well, come with me. My uncle will cook it for you now. The materials are ready anyway."
Xue Jing smiled slightly and whispered a few words into Ming Yuan's ear. Ming Yuan frowned slightly after listening, and his eyes fell on Nian Bing not far away. After thinking about it, he said: "You girl, you know how to do it."
I'm looking for trouble. However, I agreed that I will only do it once, and how much he can learn is his own problem."
Xue Jing said happily: "I know uncle is the best."
Ming Yuan said angrily: "Don't let that pretty face confuse you. You girl! There is really nothing you can do." After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen first.
Nian Bing found that when Ming Yuan left, he glanced at himself, and his eyes seemed to contain a warning. Could it be that Xue Jing's whisper in his ear just now had something to do with him? As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Xue Jing shouting
Said: "Nian Bing, come here for a moment and help Uncle Ming." As soon as she said this, all the chefs immediately focused their attention on Nian Bing, and all kinds of weird looks appeared one after another. Needless to ask, is there any
The young man has already thought wrongly. You must know that the wonderful chef Wang Mingyuan has always been famous for cherishing his broom and never allows others to watch while cooking. Xue Jing shouted this, obviously to let Nian Bing learn how to make the golden incense circle from him.
Nian Bing stood up, pointed at his nose and said: "Miss, you called me? I'm just a woodcutter!"
Xue Jing glared at him and said angrily: "Come here if you are told. There is so much nonsense. Hurry up."
Nian Bing had no choice but to walk to Xue Jing and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
Xue Jing smiled slightly and said: "Let me repay you for this slap on your face. I can tell you, I don't know how many people want to learn Uncle Ming's skills. This opportunity is rare. You have to work harder. As long as you can
If you learn a few points, you will have money to eat in the future. If you practice well, I will ask Uncle Ming to transfer you from the woodshed to the kitchen."
Nian Bing looked at Xue Jing with strange eyes. This hot-tempered girl seemed to have her own cuteness.
Xue Jing's pretty face blushed slightly, and she pushed Nian Bing, "Let's go quickly. Don't think wrongly. You stayed with me for a long time last night and got beaten by me again. I'm just making it up to you. What's more, in the future,
Maybe I'll ask you to do me a favor."
As they talked, the two of them entered the kitchen. Qingfengzhai is worthy of being a famous restaurant. The kitchen alone covers an area of thousands of square meters. Although the space is large and there are various materials placed, it is not messy at all. It is obviously
After careful cleaning, all kinds of kitchen utensils were neatly placed. Xue Jing took Nian Bing and walked towards the innermost place. As she walked, she said: "Uncle Ming usually doesn't cook in person. Only important guests can."
Taste the dishes made by him. Of course, I am an exception."
The place where Ming Yuan cooks is covered by a curtain. He obviously doesn't want anyone to see him cooking. Nian Bing secretly shakes his head. These famous chefs are all so stingy. How can their cooking skills be promoted?
Xue Jing and Nian Bing lifted up the curtains and entered Ming Yuan's private cooking space, which was about 20 square meters. Ming Yuan glanced at them and said coldly to Nian Bing: "I will only do it once, move quickly, you have to watch carefully.
Now, how much you can learn depends on your own destiny." As soon as he finished speaking, his hands immediately started to move.
I saw Ming Yuan grabbing a clean empty basin with his left hand and pulling it from the side. He scooped out about a kilogram of noodles with a noodle spoon in his right hand and put it into the basin. At the same time, he scooped up half a spoonful of water from the other side with a water spoon in his left hand and slowly poured it into it.
In the face, the two hands were doing different movements, but there was no confusion at all. Nian Bing knew that this was the famous technique in the culinary world of mutual interaction between hands, dividing the mind into two tasks and focusing on what is being done. Ming Yuan's
At this time, his right hand took out some white powder from three white seasoning boxes, added it to the flour, and said plainly: "Warm water dissolves salt, alkali, and a little alum. This is the basis." As soon as he finished speaking, he held his hand
The work has been completed. With a shake of his hands, the tools in his hands have returned to their respective positions. Both hands are inserted into the basin at the same time and stirred quickly. In just a few blinks, the flour and seasonings that were previously scattered were
, it has turned into a dough at this time.
Nian Bing knew very well in his heart that what he put in was secondary. The most important thing was the amount he put in. The technique of kneading the dough was also very particular. The wrists must be strong, and the kneading direction and order were different.
The finished product will be different. Although the cooking of the golden incense circle has just begun, Nian Bing has already seen a lot of things. He nodded secretly in his heart. He is a master. He is indeed a master. It seems that he did not come to Qingfengzhai in vain.
The movements in Ming Yuan's hands became faster and faster, and the dough continued to change into various shapes in his hands, sometimes long and sometimes flat. There was no time to stop. If he were an ordinary chef, when making golden incense rings, he would
After the dough is mixed, it needs to be left for an hour and a half before the process can be continued. The reason why Mingyuan keeps kneading the dough is precisely because he wants to save the process of waking up the dough. This requires extremely high skills.
This can only be achieved by being familiar with the combination of the opposite and several seasonings. For this alone, Ming Yuan has proven that he did not get the title of "King of Chefs" for nothing.
Finally, after about a quarter of an hour of kneading, the dough was placed on the chopping board in an oval shape. Ming Yuan looked very calm, as if the ten minutes of vigorous kneading had not affected him at all. He glanced at Nian Bing,
He said: "See clearly, here is the key." As he spoke, he lit the stove with a flint, placed a clean iron pot on the fire, and filled half of the pot with oil.
A thick rolling pin about one and a half meters long came into his hands. With just a few simple movements, the dough on the chopping board had already turned into flat pieces. The subsequent movements were very fast. Obviously, Ming Yuan did not want Nian Bing to follow this.
He learned a lot from him. He got a small knife specially used for making pasta. The flat piece of the knife had turned into a uniform strip about two inches wide. He took the dough and placed it on the chopping board. Ming Yuan held down one end with one hand.
, hold the other end of the dough with the other hand, smooth it into a flat piece, about two inches thick, use a knife to cut the dough into half-inch-wide pieces, stack each two pieces together, use a knife to cut a knife in the middle, Nian Bingkan
It is very clear that the two sides are not cut through, but are slightly connected. At this time, the oil has been heated to 50% heat.
Ming Yuan waved his right hand, and the semi-finished golden incense ring slid lightly into the pot. A pair of chopsticks jumped into his left hand from nowhere, and he held the chopsticks in the center of the oiled noodles. Suddenly, he performed a magical trick
It turned into a round circle, shaped like a bracelet. Under the action of the chopsticks, it was constantly turning over, and his other hand was not idle either. One after another, the golden incense circles continued to be put into the pot, Xue Jing
He quickly took the plate, and the golden fragrant rings came out of the pot one after another. The aroma suddenly overflowed, making people want to eat. When the tenth golden fragrant ring of exactly the same size came out of the pot, Ming Yuan stopped.
While covering the stove and extinguishing the fire, he said to Xue Jing: "Jing Jing, try it and see if your uncle Ming's craftsmanship has deteriorated."
Xue Jing smiled and said: "Uncle Ming's craftsmanship is the best, how could he deteriorate? Hey, Nian Bing, you..."
