Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

The Real Golden Ratio Siu Mai (Part 1)

In other words, is it because I haven’t done it carefully enough?

After thinking for a while, Xie Yunfei took out the electronic scale at home, wiped it with alcohol, and put it aside to dry. Speaking of which, the old man who adopted his predecessor, although he never saw him work and lingered in those fireworks shops every night, there were many things related to the chef at home.

The set of kitchen utensils in the suitcase was brought by his predecessor directly from home when he was admitted to the Yuanyue Middle School.

However, these things have nothing to do with Xie Yunfei. After finding someone to deal with the old man’s funeral on the way back, he didn’t devote any more thoughts to this aspect.

After the alcohol on the electronic scale evaporated, Xie Yunfei started his second attempt.

He put Sixi Shaomai, which had been shaped in advance, on the electronic scale and reset the weight to zero. Then use chopsticks to pick up some minced meat, fill the largest small pocket of siu mai, record the weight displayed on the electronic scale at this time, and reset it to zero again.

Divide the weight by eight and multiply by five. After getting the number, use another pair of chopsticks to pick up the vegetable stuffing and put it into another small pocket. After adding the vegetable stuffing, the electronic scale shows that the weight must be the previously calculated number.

For this step alone, it took nearly two minutes to solve Yunfei.

This is not over yet, the third step begins, change the chopsticks again, pick up the prepared black fungus stuffing, and then perform a similar move to the second step.

The fourth step is to add the shrimp filling.

It was already a quarter of an hour when a siu mai was made by Xie Yunfei.

Seeing the four fillings above the siu mai that were not on the same level, Xie Yunfei, who had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn’t help frowning.

“It doesn’t matter, let’s try it out first.”

Forcibly suppressing the discomfort caused by the asymmetry in his heart, Xie Yunfei put the siu mai in the steamer.

About ten minutes later, test item No. 2 came out of the pot.

“Sure enough!”

He didn’t taste the siu mai, but the change in the recipe in his mind made Xie Yunfei look excited.

[Incomplete version of the golden ratio: additional degree of completion +5]

Although the label of the incomplete version still hasn’t disappeared, the column of extra completion has increased a bit.

She swung her fist hard.

What I thought was indeed correct!

Then, how should we improve next?

Xie Yunfei fell into deep thought again. From the beginning, he gave up the way to improve the degree of completion through cooking skills.

If it was changed to other dishes, Xie Yunfei might spend a lot of time practicing in order to improve the basic completion, but Xie Yunfei felt it when he tried to make Sixi Shaomai for the first time. Attention, that is the familiarity that has long been engraved in the bone marrow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is instinct.

The so-called practice makes perfect, that’s all.

To put it more bluntly, the skill level of [Pasta Making] in the character panel is a bit high, and it is impossible to improve it in a short period of time without skill points.

Of course, Xie Yunfei also wanted to save materials.

After all, in terms of the system, taking the blue-grade Sixi Shaomai as an example, if you want to upgrade to level 2, you need to make at least 70 more, and the materials that Xie Yunfei bought at home can be made at most Thirty.

This is just the number of dishes that need to be made when upgrading from level 1 to level 2. From level 2 to level 3, the number of dishes that need to be made must be multiplied by ten, which is about 1000 Sixi Shaomai, level 3 Upgrade to level 4 and multiply by ten, the same goes for level 4 to level 5, and so on…

If it was replaced with white-grade dishes, the amount Xie Yunfei would need to cook would double again!

With Xie Yunfei’s speed, if he concentrates on improving his culinary skills, it will take one day to go from level 1 to level 3, and four to five days to go from level 3 to level 4.

But even if all the three skill points obtained when upgrading to level 4 are added to [Pasta Making], in terms of the system, the final basic completion is just an increase of 3 points, and the additional completion is still not enough. Achieve mission goals.

Therefore, it is imperative to improve the recipe!

Xie Yunfei affirmed this in his heart, and started to try again.

This time, he wanted to make the appearance of the siu mai more delicate while ensuring the absolute proportions of the four fillings. At least the fillings could no longer be on the same plane as before.

But in this way, you need to work hard on making the dough.

The dough should not be circular at the beginning, but should be an irregular pattern composed of four arcs, and the ratio of the length of one arc is much larger than that of the other three arcs.

The dream is very beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel.

With Xie Yunfei’s unremitting efforts, ten faces in a row were honorably sacrificed one after another.

But this is normal, Xie Yunfei’s [pastry system][Working] Although chefs who are higher than the apprentice level can even compete with many second-class chefs, they are far from reaching the level of putting all the thoughts in their hearts into reality.

If you want to transform the dough, well, it’s very simple, just work hard to improve the level of [Pastry Making].

“As a result, was it wrapped around again?”

Seeing that there were almost 20 servings of siu mai fillings left, Xie Yunfei gritted his teeth, gave up his original plan, and started the assembly line-like full-time packing work…

In the next few days, apart from going to the shopping street to buy ingredients, Xie Yunfei spent most of his time in the kitchen. As for the remaining time for rest…

“Is it Grandma Ito? I made some siu mai, and I’m here to give you some.”

“Grandpa Matsuoka, grandma Matsuoka, I made some siu mai…”

“Sister Xiaolan, Brother Xinyi, here, I’ll send you some siu mai.”

He makes almost 2,000 siu mai every day, and Xie Yunfei alone obviously can’t finish them all, but it would be too wasteful to throw them away. So, after thinking for a few seconds, he decided to give the siu mai he made to other people in the building. Neighbor.

Residents of each household don’t give too much. Old people like Grandma Ito who live alone will give 30, couples will give 50, and those with children will give a little more, and count what they eat. There are not many left.

As for the taste, Xie Yunfei wasn’t worried at all.

Although it is not as good as the [Golden Ratio Shaomai Test Product No. 2] that I carefully made, but with the continuous cooking of Shaomai and the improvement of culinary skills, as well as the subconscious control of the proportion of fillings, in the next few days, several other Many residents in the building heard the rumors and came to Xie Yunfei to beg for or even buy siu mai.

For such a result, Xie Yunfei was a little dumbfounded.

If possible, he would also like to sell some of the siu mai in his hand, but the gourmet research institutes in this world are very strict about this. It is fine to give it to others, but if you want to sell it, sorry, please show the relevant documents.

Originally, according to Xie Yunfei’s prediction, by the fifth night, he should be able to raise his cooking level to level 3, and in the next two days he can devote himself to improving the recipes.

But on the afternoon of the fourth day, the arrival of two uninvited guests disrupted his rhythm.
