With a heavy sound, the iron bucket started spinning again.m
Wu Xiaoliu was really tired, but there was nothing he could do. Who asked him to deal with such an unscrupulous master?
But having said that, this is a very valuable asset to him. It can be said that as long as Li Qi stands on the street and shouts, there will definitely be many people lining up to shake the iron bucket.
Because once coffee becomes popular, this roasting master will definitely be hard to find.
Li Qi had no time to take care of Wu Xiaoliu's mood at this time. He looked at the fire and the hourglass, and was still writing something down on his pen.
After a while, there was a sudden "pop" sound in the pot.
Wu Xiaoliu was startled and said hurriedly: "Brother Li, the second explosion is coming."
Li Qi looked solemn and said: "I heard it."
Bang bang bang bang!
The second explosion is coming.
Compared with the first explosion, the sound of the second explosion is not so loud and scary, but the frequency is very high, just like shooting firecrackers.
At the same time, a large amount of thick smoke came out from the other end of the iron barrel.
Wu Xiaoliu was secretly surprised when he saw it. The smoke was so exaggerated, it was like a fire. He looked at Li Qi again and saw that Li Qi was looking at the thick smoke thoughtfully and said curiously: "Brother Li, there is smoke."
Already."
"Am I blind?" Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "You also have to observe the smoke, because it is difficult for us to observe the condition of the coffee beans inside. The intensity of the smoke can help us understand the roasting conditions inside.
"
Wu Xiaoliu nodded and looked at the smoke, but his eyes were still blank.
Li Qi stretched out his hand and said: "Stop."
Wu Xiaoliu stopped quickly.
Li Qi put on a mask and removed all the matches.
Wu Xiaoliu heard that the explosion had not stopped yet, so he asked: "Brother Li, are you ready?"
Li Qidao: "You must remember that this is not actually a complete roasting, but coffee beans have very high temperature requirements. If you stop just after the time is stuck, the residual temperature in the pot will burn the coffee beans.
Therefore, it must be done in advance.”
This was too accurate. Wu Xiaoliu's eyes widened when he heard it.
"Stop standing there stupidly and come over to help."
"oh."
Wu Xiaoliu quickly walked to the other end of the iron barrel and opened the lid of the pot. After the smoke dissipated, Li Qi took out the wooden sieve that had been prepared and used a long spoon to scoop all the coffee beans inside into the wooden sieve.
Inside the sieve.
However, this moment was definitely something Wu Xiaoliu never imagined.
When all the coffee beans fell into the wooden sieve, time seemed to have stopped, and waves of unprecedented aroma exploded like an atomic bomb.
The fragrance is strong enough to cover up everything.
The black coffee beans are shiny with oil. The fragrance is overflowing, which is incredible, and the continuous crackling sound makes people intoxicated.
This moment is something that every roaster enjoys very much and is also looking forward to, because this aroma is what coffee beans want the most, but only they can smell it, and ordinary people can't experience it at all. Many of them
People who love coffee cannot appreciate this wonderful moment of coffee beans.
Wu Xiaoliu was drunk, and was so drunk that he was unconscious. In the world he knew, no beans could emit such a strong fragrance. This was really incredible.
"Hey, it's time to wake up."
Li Qi looked at Wu Xiaoliu's dumbfounded expression and shook his head slightly.
Wu Xiaoliu was suddenly startled, and hurriedly came over. He twitched his nose vigorously on the wooden sieve a few times, and exclaimed: "Brother Li, this---the coffee beans are so fragrant. I can try it."
What?"
"Taste your head."
Li Qi snorted and said, "This is not how coffee beans are eaten."
Wu Xiaoliu asked: "How do you eat it?"
Li Qi shook the wooden sieve and saw a lot of broken skin falling down. He said: "You will know later. You can get some firewood first. After I store it here, we can continue."
"Continue---continue?"
Wu Xiaoliu was a little unable to react.
Li Qi smiled and said: "This is the most amazing thing about coffee. Do you remember that I always trained you to see fire?"
How could Wu Xiaoliu not remember this? When he first started to learn cooking from Li Qi, he had been learning to master the heat. Until he became a chef, he was still groping. For a chef, this heat is inexhaustible.
Because each dish requires different heat. "Of course I remember."
Li Qidao: "In the past, dishes had an optimal heat level. If it was too high or too low, the taste would be greatly reduced. But coffee does not have that, because coffee has a time variable and an explosion limit. When the heat is high, it needs to be
If the time is short, the explosion time will be shortened. However, when the heat is small, the time required will be longer, and the explosion time will naturally be extended. And in the time period between the two, the changes in the heat of coffee will be
The taste will change greatly, but the taste at each point in time will have its own attractiveness. It is not the same as other dishes. The taste will not be good after it is over. We have just tested the coffee beans under the fire.
, now we are going to experiment with coffee beans roasted over low heat.”
This is really amazing. Wu Xiaoliu was inspired and cheered up.
After Li Qi took off the broken skin, he went to the kitchen. Because it was winter now, the coffee beans cooled down quickly. While waiting for the coffee beans to cool down, he got about five more kilograms of coffee beans.
Coffee beans should be stored in sealed jars, but for freshly roasted coffee beans, you must wait for about six hours to release carbon dioxide before sealing.
After finishing this batch of coffee beans, Li Qi immediately started roasting for the second time.
This time he chose a smaller heat, so the speed of turning the iron bucket did not need to be so fast, which greatly helped Wu Xiaoliu save his energy.
Coffee beans have extremely high requirements for heat and time. Each type of coffee beans has different requirements. Li Qi himself is still exploring, but judging from the aroma of the coffee beans just roasted, it should be regarded as a success.
of.
In fact, what he didn't say just now is that the current coffee beans can be said to be a completely new variety to him. After all, the coffee beans he came into contact with were nine hundred years later. God knows whether there were any variations in the coffee beans at that time.
, this is a key. So he must try many ways to find out the various flavors of this coffee bean.
Because the tone of a coffee bean grown under a soil will not change, it has a unique flavor, but its taste is ever-changing.
Li Qiwu was still taking notes. He had to remember the maturity curve of coffee beans at each temperature, because he didn't just want to drink a cup of coffee, he wanted to use coffee as a product, which had very strict production requirements.
, you cannot have the same product of coffee. Each can tastes different, and that would be deceiving customers.
Wu Xiaoliu also worked hard and turned the iron bucket through gritted teeth. The master and the apprentice seemed to have returned to the time when they made stinky tofu.
The second baking time is about twice as long as the first time. This can be said to be two extremes. Li Qi hopes to find the time and heat of these two extremes first, and then explore the taste in between.
After baking for the second time, Li Qi asked Wu Xiaoliu to take a rest, and he personally made a bowl of chicken leg rice and a bowl of chicken soup to replenish Wu Xiaoliu's strength.
Wu Xiaoliu has one advantage that Li Qi appreciates the most. He is really not picky about food. This guy is now the chef of Zui Xianju. He doesn't care about any delicacies he wants to eat. He just eats what he can, and Li Qi cooks it.
He completely destroyed this bowl of chicken legs and rice, leaving not a single grain of rice.
Li Qi looked at Wu Xiaoliu who was patting his round belly and said with a smile: "Xiao Liuzi, why are you still so virtuous? You wolf down your food as if you haven't eaten in several days."
Wu Xiaoliu chuckled and said, "Brother Li, your cooking is delicious. I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time. But, Brother Li, can you put two chicken drumsticks next time? One is not enough for us."
Li Qi glared at the boy and said, "Come out. You are satisfied with this. I am also going to give you a sheep knuckle this afternoon."
"Sheep knuckle?"
Wu Xiaoliu's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Li, are you serious?"
Li Qidao: "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Often---no, no, no, thank you so much, Brother Li." Wu Xiaoliu, who had just eaten, was drooling again.
Li Qi snorted and said: "Xiao Liuzi, you are about to get married, so don't be unsure at all. Treat Xiaotao well, you know?"
Wu Xiaoliu said: "Brother Li, don't worry, we are chefs, how can we let our own women starve?"
Li Qidao: "You know how to eat. Women want more than just eating."
Wu Xiaoliu said: "What else is there?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it, I told you that you don't understand. I still have some good jewelry at home. I will give you some later. You give it to Xiaotao as a betrothal gift. Don't be shabby and lose you."
Master my face."
"Hey. I understand."
Wu Xiaoliu nodded, but he really didn't have much pursuit of money. Li Qi said he wanted to give him jewelry, but he was not as happy as Li Qi said he wanted to make sheep knuckles to eat.
This kid is really a wonderful flower. Li Qi added: "Your uncle has always wanted to have a grandson. You have to work harder, so your uncle doesn't blame me again."
Wu Xiaoliu became silent after hearing this. After a while, he blushed and whispered: "Brother Li, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you."
"what is the problem?"
"How was this child born?"
Wu Xiaoliu asked with a blushing face.
"ah?"
Li Qi was also dumbfounded. This was the first time someone asked him such a pointed question: "Have you ever seen dogs mating?"
Wu Xiaoliu nodded and said with a depressed look: "But we are human beings!"
Li Qidao: "It's basically the same, that is, it's just one of the postures. This--forget it, if you have a chance to ask someone, he will definitely know, and he will be happy to answer you."
"who?"
"Gao Yanei."
"Ya Nei?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will help you come forward." He sighed in his heart, this boy is really pitiful. He has had no parents since he was a child, and no one even taught him pre-marital sex education.
The two of them nestled next to the stove in the kitchen and took a nap. After all, they were both chefs, so it was common for them to take naps in the kitchen.
After resting, the master and apprentice began their baking journey again.
