Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Light is a Bond (Part 6)

The most common one-character dumplings and full moon dumplings, the slightly more complicated full belly dumplings and Yuanbao dumplings, and the more troublesome fancy dumplings and rose dumplings…

Xie Yunfei standing in front of the long table is like a master who has been specializing in art for many years. The dumplings made by his hands are obviously only the size of a finger, but they are full, lovely and vivid.

Yuan Dagu swallowed his saliva. He understands the need to wait patiently before tasting delicious dishes, but he can’t bear it.

“Can’t it be faster?”

Hearing Yuan Dagu’s complaints, Xie Yunfei, who lowered his head and used tweezers to carve patterns on the surface of the dumplings, couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, showing a mischievous smile on his face.

“Hurry up, wait…well, an hour.”

“Eh? So long!?”

Yuan Dagu was taken aback. Fortunately, he was not an idiot. After seeing the faint smile on Xie Yunfei’s face, he immediately understood the fact that he had been tricked.

“Okay you guys.”

The making of dumplings is actually coming to an end. After all, the stove on the side has already been opened by Xie Yunfei.

“I still have the last two kinds of dumplings to make.”

Saying so, Xie Yunfei took out one of the last two pieces of dough covered with plastic wrap and put it on the long table.

Unlike the dough that is simply proofed, the volume of the dough that has been fermented for nearly an hour has nearly doubled.

Its elasticity and softness are even better than before – the dents pressed by fingers only took a few seconds to fully recover.

“very good.”

Xie Yunfei nodded, without wasting time, he stretched out his hands, kneading and beating the dough in front of him.

Strange to say, the dough that had expanded due to the gas produced by fermentation started to shrink again under Xie Yunfei’s kneading.

Not only that, but there is not even a trace of the gas inside.

Fold once, fold twice, fold three times…

Xie Yunfei’s movements were slow but powerful. Five minutes later, the dough, which was originally the size of two adult palms, was pressed down to the size of a few finger joints!

What is even more surprising is that the elasticity and pliability of the dough has not decreased in the slightest even though it has been folded dozens of times.

The rolling pin was picked up again by Xie Yunfei. This time, instead of showing the skill of rolling the dough upside down, he carefully rolled the dough into a dumpling wrapper about the size of the dough on the side.

Take the stuffing, spread it on the center of the dumpling wrapper, and cover the dumpling wrapper with another kind of dough that was prepared earlier.

Stretch out both hands at the same time, use the natural depression in the palm to expel the air in the dumpling skin. Then take tweezers and cut off the excess dumpling skin.

After repeating this several times, ten somewhat special dumplings appeared in the stove steamer on the left side of Jie Yunfei.

“The last kind of dumpling.”

Xie Yunfei muttered, his expression became more and more calm at this time, but endless starlight seemed to be reflected in his eyes.

Take the boneless chicken wings that have been prepared earlier, and stuff them with different fillings.

So far, the types of dumplings in the “Rose Baiwei Dumplings”Finally, all the packaging is completed.

As for what’s next…

“I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m hungry again.” Tanaka touched his stomach with an embarrassed expression on his face.

It’s not just him, but Jun Jianhui, who is watching the screen, also has longing eyes.

The more complicated the cooking process, the more delicious and rare it is. It is impossible for the two people in high positions in the TPC headquarters to not know this.

It’s a pity that neither Jujianhui nor Tanaka can taste this dish made by Xie Yunfei.

What’s worse than this is that they still have to watch Yuan Dagu eat this dish later, and they still have no way to look away!

“It’s really not possible, let me order a takeaway.”

Ju Jianhui hesitated for a moment, and proposed like this.

Tanaka nodded immediately.

“I’ll treat you to the most expensive one in Tokyo.”

…

In the warehouse.

Xie Yunfei sorted the food into different pots.

“The theory of “Baiwei Dumplings” doesn’t just refer to different fillings. The difference in production methods and ripening forms will also have a more or less impact on the final taste of the dumplings.”

While explaining to Yuan Dagu, Xie Yunfei made the sauce.

Compared with the simplified version of the TPC headquarters, this time the full version not only has the type of dumplings, but also the type of sauce has been improved.

The simplest sesame paste, the spicy and refreshing oily pepper, the sweet and sour sweet and sour sauce, the rich and fragrant white sauce…

Taking advantage of the gap between dumpling cooking, Xie Yunfei made a total of eight condiments with different flavors.

Not only that, but he also placed a plate in a stack of empty steamers and slowly heated it while looking at the time.

Three minutes passed, and the cooked dumplings were taken out.

Five minutes passed, and the chicken wing dumplings with golden yellow on both sides and the lower layer of crispy skin were laid on the bottom of the dinner plate.

Seven minutes passed, and the dumplings and fried dumplings that were fished out earlier were dotted on the dinner plate like stars in the sky.

Ten minutes passed, and the final steamed dumplings were made.

Xie Yunfei is not too hot, so he puts the steamed dumplings on the crispy skin, or sticks the steamed dumplings to the surface of the chicken wing dumplings, or wraps the steamed dumplings on the edge of the plate with clean hands. Connect with rose-style dumplings or pan-fried dumplings.

In the center, use cheese strips to form a circle with a space in the middle, pour the sauce into it, and cover it with a rose steamed dumpling with a red skin.

“Huh…”

After completing the last step, Xie Yunfei let out a long sigh of relief. He held up the entire steamer with one hand, and with the other free hand, he picked up some black scraps and a metal round iron piece from behind.

He walked up to the dining table in front of Yuan Dagu, put the iron sheet at the bottom, sprinkled powder on it, took out the lighter and ignited the powder, and finally, covered the iron sheet and the burning powder with the steamer.

Stretching out his right hand, he made a gesture of “please” to Yuan Dagu. Xie Yunfei smiled and said in a gentle and indifferent tone.

“This is the first dish tonight – the complete version of ‘Rose Baiwei Dumpling’.”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of mist rose from the steamer. While the fog blocked Yuan Dagu’s sight, it also made it impossible for Jujian Huihe Tanaka, who was watching the two of them, to see the true appearance of the cooking.

Fortunately, the fog comes and goes quickly.

In less than ten seconds, the white water vapor drifted away and diluted.

Yuan Dagu opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but Xie Yunfei shook his head, and just pointed to the steamer in front of him.

With doubts in his heart, Yuan Dagu lowered his head, while Jujian Hui and Tanaka on the other side also manipulated the monitor to zoom in on the camera.

Then, Yuan Dagu saw it! Megumi and Tanaka also saw it!

The moment when the steamed dumplings coiled around the edge of the disc, intertwined like vines, and the rose dumplings connected to them, slowly raised their ‘body’!
