Chapter 282 Master Li Arrives

March [-]th.

Han San and Xiaowei ran back to Longcheng with four people in two cars.

The four people sitting in the car are Master Yue Dongli and his three apprentices. Two of the three will take turns to be lecturers in the pastry class and masters in the cake shop in the next year.

At 11:30 noon, two cars parked in the dam behind Jubin Pavilion.

Han San was driving a Bluebird. After getting out of the car, he walked to Xiaowei's car, looked around, shook his head and said, "It's too extravagant, you prodigal."

Xiaowei smiled silently, and pulled Han San to greet Master Li and the others to enter the restaurant.

The restaurant is serving dishes at the moment, and it will be lunch time soon. Now that the new year has just started, there are many activities in various units, and the restaurant is full of business these days.

Before Xiaowei set off here, he had already called to make arrangements, and the food would be served as soon as a few people entered the room, and he would not be able to take care of it if he got busy soon.Xiaowei poured wine for several people, but none of the four masters and apprentices drank, so he poured a glass for Han San and accompanied him.

Sure enough, the food came halfway through the dishes, Xiaowei got up and dealt with it, came back and continued to drink, Han San said: "I won't eat here in the future, let's find a small place to eat slowly, it looks so busy Dao. You don’t have a canteen over there, do you?”

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Got it, my mother is leading the three big sisters to make it, and there are about ten people eating, what's the matter?"

Han San said: "Then why don't you bring us here for a gaha? I'm so busy talking about it, why don't I just go back to your courtyard and eat in the cafeteria. I think the home-cooked food is much more delicious than the ones in this restaurant."

Xiaowei said: "This is not the first time Master Li has come here, so I have to pay respect."

Han San shook his hands and said: "It's not necessary, Lao Li is also a pure buddy, he can pick on you, the key is to do things well, everyone is serious about making money, understand?"

Master Li nodded with a smile on the side, and said: "Actually, I eat the food here, the taste is the same, as long as I am full, there is a factory over there, and you can eat bread and cakes. It is best if you have a kitchen, and you can cook soup." It's OK to drink." His tone of voice is Hong Kong, but it is clearer than ordinary Hong Kong, and he sounds like a person who often travels around.

Xiaowei smiled and said: "Okay, I think you should have a decent meal when you come here for the first time. That's okay, I won't be polite to you in the future, there is a kitchen at the other end, you can cook by yourself Make it according to your own taste, if you need anything, just tell me and I will buy it for you."

After eating soon, several people came out to get in the car and came to the yard.

Looking at the door slowly opened, Han San smiled and said, "It's getting better and better. It feels good. I'm thinking about building a courtyard now." The car drove into the courtyard and parked in front of the garage. It is in a row with the 100, Sea Lion, and Wanlite that are parked there.

After getting out of the car, Han San said, "How many cars did you buy?"

Xiaowei pointed to the old building and said, "There are two more inside, that's all."

Accompanying Master Li to visit the school, and then to the factory, Master Li said: "It's good, but the products are a little low-end, and they are all things of the past. There are no other problems."

Xiaowei said: "These are all employees of the former state-owned food factory, and they only know what they used to be. To be honest, Master Li, our place is incomparable with yours in eastern Guangdong. The consumption capacity is limited, and the things are too expensive. The market is too small, so we have to get some high-end goods.”

Master Li said: "Delicious and beautiful things are not necessarily expensive. The cost of baked goods nowadays is actually lower, but the taste, style and color are much better. For example, the bottom embryo of birthday cakes. Originally, honeycomb cakes were used, which are heavy and heavy. Multi-material, and the chiffon cake that is just popular now is much better than the honeycomb cake in terms of color and taste, and because of the formula problem, the puffing is better, more delicate, and very light. Lightness means that a cake of the same size needs more It uses less material than honeycomb, and the cost is lower. 80.00% of the cake is eggs, and the cost is very important.”

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Understood. I am a complete layman in this field, and I will rely on you, Master Li, from now on."

Master Li smiled and said, "You make money and I make money. We depend on each other."

Xiaowei said: "Master Li, can biscuits like Luguo be reformulated? This kind of thing is quite recognized in our market. Oh, there are also sloth cakes."

Master Li said: "You are talking about the mahjong tiles, right? It tastes good, I don't know how to make this, we don't have it over there. But I can take a look and think about it. Trough cake is plum blossom cake, right? This can be changed. You are still using the old method of baking with stinky flour, the puffing is much lower and the taste is not good, just change the additives, such as baking powder, tartar powder, custard powder, etc., you need to try it a few times.”

The stinky powder is ammonium bicarbonate, which was used in the original old-fashioned cake baking.This thing is not very good for the human body.After being heated and puffed, it will decompose ammonia and carbon dioxide, and the residue in food is not small.

Small shops in many places are still using it in order to reduce costs, because adding ammonium bicarbonate can increase the proportion of flour and put less eggs.This is actually very easy to distinguish. When you buy it, you can smell it with your nose when you paste it on it.

Many people may not feel much about ammonium bicarbonate. Ammonium bicarbonate also has a name, urea.This stuff is easy to volatilize, so there is always a pungent ammonia smell, that is, the smell of urea, where the fertilizer is piled up.Urea is the Japanese name for ammonium bicarbonate, because this thing is contained in a large amount in human urine.

Many words or names in our life are Japanese names used, such as urea, ajinomoto and so on.

……

Master Li said: "Replacing the puffing agent is actually a change in the main ingredient structure of the product. The ratio of flour and egg sugar must be changed accordingly. For example, stinky flour has more flour and less eggs, while tartar powder and baking powder have less flour and more flour. Eggs, too much flour will not puff up. Custard powder has the lowest degree of puffing and can only be used on biscuits or puddings, but it tastes good and the products it makes are very milky.”

Xiaowei said: "I can't understand what you are telling me now. I will study with you when the class starts. You are all my teachers."

After we talked, we arranged accommodation for Master Li and several people in the main building, and told them to take a rest. Xiaowei and Han San went downstairs.

Han San followed Xiaowei downstairs and asked, "Where are you going? What's the matter? I still want to sleep for a while. By the way, where should I sleep? Didn't you arrange a place for me?"

Xiaowei said: "The guest house, the conditions over there are better than this one, and you won't be able to stay for a few days."

Han San said: "No need, that's good. We are not out to play when we come out to work. If there is nothing else, I will go up and lie down for a while. Do you have luggage?"

Xiaowei stretched out his hand and pulled Han San down, and said, "Why are you so anxious, I'm tired from the plane and the car, why are you as tired as me?"

Han San said: "What is it that you have to talk about now? Where are you going?"

He led Han San to the empty guest room, changed his shoes and entered the room. Han San looked into the room and asked, "Is this your room? It's really nice. I didn't come in to take a closer look last time. This thing is in place." "

Xiaowei smiled and said: "This is your house, you can sleep for a while, I will go to the factory to see." He went to the door to change his shoes.

Han San was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Really? I live in this house?"

Xiaowei nodded and said: "Is this still enough to coax you? Go to sleep and call you after dinner. The washbasin, toothbrush and towel are all in the cabinet. If you think there is a blanket in the cabinet above the quilt." Han San patted Xiaowei said over his shoulder: "It's interesting, haha, not bad."
