Food Customizer

When Chen Wenliang arrived in Jingzhou, it was just evening.

When he was about to arrive at the station, he took an online taxi in advance, and got on the car directly to the development zone after leaving the station.

‘Boss Su is really a versatile person. He is proficient in all major cuisines, and now he wants to take over Chinese dim sum? ’

Chen Wenliang was thinking about this all the way.

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →🆃🆆🅺♦🅽.🅲♦🅼]

Is Boss Su talented or hardworking enough?

Why does Boss Su seem to be born with the skills that others have been unable to practice for decades?

This is purely to support a company with his own strength!

If this skill is placed in the chef world, there is actually no need to open a company. You can just compete in competitions, and then become a gourmet when you have enough qualifications.

I can’t figure it out!

As soon as the car stopped, Chen Wenliang saw people constantly coming in and out of the door on the first floor of Delicious, carrying all kinds of decoration materials.

‘Is Boss Su going to expand the company again? ’

This is really awesome!

Carrying a schoolbag, he walked into the building and took the stairs to the second floor. He had eaten here many times before, so Chen Wenliang was not unfamiliar with the internal structure of Delicious.

"Old Eight? Why are you here?"

Zhang Laoer, who was bragging to Aunt Fang in the cafeteria, widened his eyes, "It's only been a few days since I left, and you want to eat the buns made by Second Brother again?"

"Go away!" Chen Laoba fanned his hands impatiently, "Boss Su asked me to help, where is he?"

"Here." Su Chen estimated that the time was about right, so he came to the second floor, "Eighth Brother, I'm sorry I was too busy and forgot to ask someone to pick you up."

Chen Wenliang's personality was careless, "Well, why are you talking about this? How do we do it? Let's start now?"

Su Chen nodded, "Let's go to the second floor."

The main material for pastry is flour, which is the most in short supply in the company.

As for the ingredients for the filling, they have been handed over to Liu Shengnan, and she and Bai Xiaobo are mainly responsible for purchasing ingredients today.

Taking Chen Laoba into the kitchen, Su Chen asked a question first.

"Brother Ba, I have tried it many times, but every time the surface of the baked pastry is rough, not smooth. What is the reason?"

"When kneading the dough, the bubbles inside were not squeezed out!" Lao Ba said without hesitation, "Or the flour was not sprinkled evenly. Boss Su, how about you do it again and let me see?"

Su Chen: "Okay, I'll do it, you check it."

No matter how powerful the system is, it can only provide recipes and other help to improve skills. For example, experience is often more useful than theoretical knowledge in white case skills.

Chen Lao Ba watched Su Chen mix high-gluten and low-gluten flour, "Boss Su, I personally recommend 30% high-gluten and 70% low-gluten."

"Oh?"

When it comes to his professional knowledge, Chen Wenliang immediately started to talk non-stop, "High-gluten flour has a high protein content, and it is easy to produce bubbles during the fermentation process of making pastries. I forgot to mention this just now. I didn't know that you mixed the two kinds of flour. I think the reason for the rough surface is probably that too much high-gluten flour is mixed."

Professional is professional.

After Chen Lao Ba said this, Su Chen immediately understood.

"Okay, let's try a different ratio."

After re-mixing a bowl of flour according to Chen Wenliang's ratio, Su Chen continued to mix lard and egg white and beat them. He could do it directly with a whisk.

He didn't stop until the lard and egg white were completely emulsified and showed a jade white color.

After seeing Su Chen digging a hole in the flour and preparing to pour the egg white liquid, Chen Wenliang stopped Su Chen, "Boss Su, my suggestion is..."

He glanced around the kitchen, and then took out a fine filter spoon, "Why don't you try to sift the flour from this?"

This is a novel method, Su Chen asked without shame, "How do you say it?"

"If you sift the flour, not only can you filter out the hard lumps inside, but the key is to make the flour particles more uniform and almost the same density. This will make it easier to mix the dough, you will know after you try it."

Su Chen did as he was told.

Pour the mixed flour on the filter spoon and shake it gently. A thin layer of flour falls into the bowl with each shake.

Sprinkle on the mixture of lard and egg white.

When there was almost no flour in the filter spoon, Su Chen looked down and said, "There are really big particles!"

"Yes. Although flour is in powder form, it is inevitable that there will be some large particles during the production process. We usually don't notice it when eating noodles, but if it is a more delicate pastry, it will be more obvious."

I learned a lot!

Su Chen knew that it was absolutely right to ask Lao Ba to check. He learned two such important knowledge before he started kneading the dough.

Then, Su Chen started kneading the dough in the oil basin.

Seeing Su Chen's technique, Chen Lao Ba smacked his lips, "Not bad, Boss Su, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your kneading skills have improved a lot!"

Last time when making stir-fried noodles, Su Chen also kneaded the dough several times temporarily. Chen Lao Ba knew at that time that Su Chen must be a novice in white cases.

But it's already amazing that he can cook so many dishes and make them so delicious. It's normal that his pastry skills are not so good. How can a chef be proficient in everything?

But when I saw him this time, I saw that Su Chen's dough-making techniques and strength had greatly improved compared to last time, which made Lao Ba sigh with emotion.

‘Isn’t this the result of talent and hard work? ’

Chen Wenliang didn't even have the slightest doubt that maybe after he left Jingzhou, Boss Su did nothing but practice kneading noodles secretly every day.

‘Practice secretly and then surprise everyone? I was pulled here as a pretentious backdrop? ’

A terrible idea suddenly appeared in Chen Laoba's mind.

Fortunately, he was just making random guesses without revealing anything. Su Chen didn't know that Chen Laoba had so many outrageous ideas in his mind.

Mix the flour in the basin into a smooth dough, then roll it into a long strip, cut it into small pieces according to the amount you need, cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate. This is also to prevent the dough from being overcooked. Fermentation.

"Boss Su, your customer this time is quite interesting. How can you only ask for good looks?" Chen Laoba said with a smile.

Su Chen sighed, "It's not convenient to talk about the customer's matters. In fact, I think this order is good. Pastry has always been a shortcoming of Tasty Food. It would be good to make up for it with this order." "

This is just what Su Chen said.

In fact, Su Chen had another new set of ideas in his mind.

It's just that it hasn't been implemented yet, so it's not convenient to say more.

"It's pretty good. I just don't know how effective it will be this time."

After Liu Shengnan came back, Su Chen made jujube paste from the pitted red dates he bought, and took out the mixture from the refrigerator. "Success or failure depends on this!"

The making of imperial concubine cakes is definitely not complicated, but once you overcome those few difficulties, everything else will be fine.

Flatten the paste with the palm of your hand, scoop a spoonful of jujube paste into the middle, wrap it back with your hands, and remove the excess paste.

Use your hands to roll the wrapped dough into a smooth surface.

When buying ingredients, Su Chen specially arranged for Liu Shengnan to buy a fine writing brush, which came in handy now.

With the brush dipped in red velvet liquid, Su Chen imitated the pictures saved on his phone and began to slowly draw patterns on the cake.

"Tsk! Is this a flower from ancient times? It looks like it has an internal odor."

Su Chen tilted his head and glanced, "Do you still understand this?"

Chen Laoba nodded, "I usually like to read some historical texts, and the one you drew should be a flower pattern that was popular in the Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, the song in the Song of Everlasting Sorrow talks about Concubine Yang. If it were placed in modern times, Concubine Yang would be a beauty internet celebrity."

Zhang Li said nothing, just watching. This was the first time she heard someone compare Yang Guifei to a beauty blogger. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The boss is so funny!"

At the same time, I also feel that Boss Su is too literate, and he can pick up ancient poems at his fingertips. If he had known that, why would he have invited Wang Rui over?

Su Chen drew very carefully. The six imperial concubine cakes were painted with peach-shaped, trefoil-shaped, copper-coin-shaped, double-fork-shaped, plum-shaped, and peacock-feather-shaped patterns. The pure white cake body had these patterns. After that, it felt like the level had improved a lot.

The temperature of the oven was adjusted to 140°C for the upper heat and 160°C for the lower heat. This was the optimal temperature that Su Chen later obtained after many experiments in the practice room.

"Okay, let's wait and see if it can work this time."

"I don't think it's a big problem." Chen Laoba rubbed his hands and was already looking forward to Boss Su's masterpiece. "However, I think your pure skills are a bit wasted."

"oh?"

Chen Wenliang said seriously, "Let's talk about this pastry. If you have this skill, you can open a Chinese pastry shop. This is a popular gift-giving thing nowadays. You are not afraid of selling it expensively, but you are afraid that it will not look good."

That's not a bad idea.

Su Chen also thought, "I don't have that much energy to do these things now. I just want to learn them first. Anyway, there are many skills and I won't be overwhelmed. I can try them later if I have the opportunity."

Chen Laoba kept this in mind.

His current salary in Lu Province is more than 20,000 yuan. As a white case master, this salary has basically reached its end.

At his age, it's not that easy to change careers.

In fact, Lao Ba has long wanted to open a shop by himself, but he knows nothing but making noodles. How much money can he make by opening a noodle shop? Even if you earn it, it is still hard-earned money from working early and working late.

So Lao Ba actually had other thoughts about coming to Jingzhou this time. Of course, all of this had to be discussed in detail, and it couldn't be decided by just a flash of heat.

Twenty minutes can be said to be fast or slow.

The oven dinged, and everyone's thoughts were pulled away. As everyone watched, Su Chen opened the oven and directly reached out and took out the baking pan.

"Hiss! Aren't you afraid of getting burned!" Chen Laoba was completely speechless.

Su Chen smiled, "As long as the speed is fast enough, I'm not afraid."

I felt a little depressed in my heart. I was used to it when I was in the practice room. Whether it was hot or cold, I started to do it directly.

With the passive skill of White Jade Hand, it is no problem to bake a baking sheet with a temperature of more than 100 degrees. It seems that I will have to pay more attention in the future.

It's too arrogant to do this, and it's easy to be taken away and sliced ​​for study.

The onlookers were shocked that Su Chen was not afraid of burning, and their attention was quickly attracted by the six imperial concubine cakes in the baking pan.

"Isn't this too beautiful? Is this the imperial concubine cake!" Zhang Li's little eyes were filled with disbelief.

Especially girls, they have no resistance to such beautiful things. Even the usually steady Sister Shengnan is full of stars at this moment!

"Beautiful, so beautiful! Let me take a picture first!"

Chen Laoba took a breath, "Boss Su, you are awesome, you should have said you had this skill earlier, and you called me from far away, isn't this insulting me?"

Now Chen Laoba is more and more sure that Su Chen was practicing secretly by himself, and then pulled him over to surprise him.

Shameless!

"Not really." Su Chen looked at the cakes in front of him and was relieved, "If it weren't for your few pointers, it really wouldn't be done like this."

I wanted to ask everyone to try it, but there were only six baked in total, not enough for the people on the scene.

Now there are no props, Su Chen can only put these six imperial concubine cakes on a white round plate first, and then embellish them with a few green seedlings.

"This thing looks like a work of art, who would be willing to eat it?" Aunt Fang said everyone's true thoughts.

"I can't believe this is Yang Guifei's favorite snack. I have to be Yang Guifei today!" He Shuting said as she reached for the plate.

Su Chen hit her back, "Don't worry. Ling Shuyu has to take a look. She is responsible for the design. Seeing the real thing is more realistic than the picture."

Not long after, Ling Shuyu and Wang Ruixiang came to the kitchen together.

As soon as he walked in, Ling Shuyu saw the six imperial concubine cakes on the plate and was stunned!

The appearance of this cake is like a full moon and the color is milky white.

Even if you look closely, you can vaguely see the date-colored stuffing under the milky white cake skin.

'I really want to put these six cakes in a glass cabinet to preserve them'

This is Ling Shuyu's first thought.

Such exquisite cakes should be preserved and can be viewed at any time. Who is so cruel that he wants to eat such exquisite cakes?

Wang Rui, who was standing behind Mr. Ling, was shocked for a long time, and his throat moved.

"The famous flower and the beautiful woman are in love with each other, and the king looks at them with a smile.

Explain the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, leaning against the tree in the north of Chenxiang Pavilion."

"Boss Su, this is a snack made specifically for the concubine. Looking at this pastry, I feel like I have become Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for a moment! This is my concubine!"

Eh?

Everyone looked at the uninvited guest.

Ling Shuyu hurriedly explained, "I thought that this time's national style snacks would inevitably need to be paired with some ancient poems, so I specially asked Wang Rui to come and help see if there are any suitable ancient poems."

That's it.

Su Chen tasted it carefully, and he remembered it clearly. This poem is one of Li Bai's Qingping Tune, which talks about the king and the concubine sitting on the railing, looking at each other, the scenery is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful!

"Okay. Let's use this one! This poem was originally written for the imperial concubine and the king, and it's quite suitable to be put on this pastry! Find someone to write it on paper with a brush!"

In this way, the first pastry was completed.

While chatting with everyone, Su Chen also took the time to return to the practice room to replicate it.

There is no doubt that after Lao Ba's suggestion, this pastry jumped from C grade to A grade.

That's enough.

After all, it's just a mixture of pasta and jujube paste, and the upper limit in terms of taste and flavor is very low.

Su Chen even seriously suspected that the two levels of improvement were mainly because it became more beautiful.

After finishing a pastry in a short time, Su Chen felt much less stressed.

He gave the six pastries directly to Ling Shuyu and asked her to take the custom-made plating to make a rendering.

Su Chen continued to get busy in the kitchen with Chen Lao Ba.

"Brother Eight, this second pastry may be a little difficult."

"Why?"

Su Chen told the story of the lotus crisps and the difficulties he encountered in the production process.

The first step in making lotus crisps is to use different colors of dough and wrap them in layers into a round dough.

Then use a knife to separate them from the middle to the sides. During the frying process in the oil pan, each layer of dough will automatically spread out, looking like a lotus blooming.

"It's still the same problem. After frying, the surface of the dough is porous, a bit like shrimp chips. But in fact, I still need a smooth surface."

Chen Laoba pinched his chin and thought for a long time, "From the perspective of pasta, I think it may be that the dough did not rise well. But after hearing what you said, there may be this reason, but it is not all."

Su Chen nodded. He has a full level of proficiency in [Frying], and there is absolutely no problem with temperature control.

Then the problem must be with the raw materials.

"Boss Su, I remember that when I came here last time, you made a dish that soaked the ingredients in oil first. Have you ever thought about the fact that I sometimes apply a layer of oil on the surface of the pancake to achieve the effect you mentioned when I make pancakes? Pepper oil and other things are used."

Huh?

Su Chen's eyes lit up, "It seems to be the case, huh?"

After the dough enters the high-temperature oil pan, the phospholipids in the oil will absorb the water, and the phospholipids themselves are also very good surfactants, which will emulsify the oil and water.

Su Chen thought of this deep principle, but he had never thought about how to solve this problem. After being reminded by Lao Ba, his thoughts suddenly became clear.

Applying a layer of grease on the surface of the pastry can indeed form a protective layer, so that after entering the high-temperature oil, the moisture in the pastry will not be absorbed instantly.

Just do it!

"Eighth Senior Brother, help me! Squeeze some pumpkin juice and dragon juice to mix the noodles."

Chen Wenliang understands this very well.

Sometimes when making dumplings or making noodles, vegetable juice is used to mix the noodles, which achieves the effect of changing the color and has almost no impact on the taste.

"okay!"

It is very easy for Chen Wenliang to make this. He squeezes the pumpkin into very fine juice, then adds some water to boil it, and finally filters it to get a very pure golden yellow soup.

The same is true for dragon fruit.

Not long after, two portions of red and yellow soup were ready.

On Su Chen's side, thanks to Lao Ba's previous tips, he also had a new understanding of how to use various flours.

This time I used all-purpose flour.

The first requirement for lotus cake is that the finished product must be like a lotus flower. Whether it tastes good or not is really not that important.

Lotus stamens are yellow, so mix all-purpose flour with lard oil, and then directly pour the squeezed pumpkin juice into it and start kneading the dough.

After just a few kneadings, the little flour in the basin turned into a yellow dough, and at the same time, there was no sticky flour left on the edge of the basin.

Chen Laoba was absolutely shocked when he saw this scene, "Boss Su, is your progress different now than before?"

It only took half an hour, but this progress was actually visible to the naked eye!

If that's the case, then Boss Su probably doesn't practice secretly. This girl is a pure and talented player!

Naturally, Chen Wenliang didn't know that Su Chen was very sensitive to the feel due to the bonus effect of the [Precision Strike] badge and the passive increase in touch of the white jade hand.

Earlier, the masters used to use vague words like "appropriate amount" and "a little". In fact, the main reason is that in the preparation of many dishes, adjustments must be made on the spot according to the actual situation of the ingredients.

It’s really not that easy to set a specific quantity.

Therefore, the apprentice has to figure out the meaning of these words based on his own production experience and feel over many years.

Although Su Chen didn't speak, Chen Wenliang was still shocked and a little emotional.

"Today's apprentices often work on machines. In fact, to put it bluntly, manual work is still good. With your skills, it can last three to five years for others. The key is that manual work is detailed and not as rigid as machines."

Su Chen reconciled with the yellow stamens, "You're done, Eighth Brother, please don't praise me. There is always a favorite in everything, and you will naturally be enthusiastic about what you really like. Most apprentices nowadays are doing it to make a living, which is different." "

Chen Wenliang nodded in agreement.

This is indeed the case. The energy invested in making a living and loving what you learn must be different.

Keep the mixed stamen dough aside, and then use dragon juice to mix the petal dough.

Su Chen encountered a difficult problem here.

"Eighth Senior Brother, the color of the lotus petals has a gradient." Su Chen took out a picture, "Look carefully, the edges of the petals are pink, and the color becomes lighter and lighter as you go inside. The innermost part has actually become White.”

"This" Chen Wenliang was also dumbfounded.

Others don’t make lotus cakes like Boss Su. They basically use the same dragon juice and mix it directly with the noodles. The fried lotus cakes still look like lotus flowers.

It’s just that the color of the petals is pure pink.

"Can you solve this puzzle?"

Chen Wenliang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Boss Su, you are too striving for perfection. I can only think of using splicing, but the dough you rely on will inevitably have flaws, and I'm afraid it won't be worth the loss."

Su Chen shook his head, "I have another way, but I can't do it myself. You try."

Su Chen poured the dragon juice into three bowls, and added different amounts of water to the last two bowls to make the color slightly lighter. The color of the last bowl was even close to that of water.

Only a very faint hint of pink can be seen.

After using these three juices of different colors to mix three doughs respectively, Su Chen said, "Can you wrap the dough according to the depth of the color, and then use some method to fuse them?"

In other words, these three doughs must be combined into one dough, but the color level cannot be changed, that is to say, it cannot be kneaded!

Just rub it and it changes!

"Let me try?"

Chen Wenliang kneaded the darkest dough into a larger cake shape, then kneaded the second dough into a smaller cake shape, and the last one also used the same method.

Then he spread the three noodles flat on the chopping board and patted them from the middle to all sides with his palms.

"This is a good method. Although the speed is a bit slow, you can clearly see that the dough is merging with each other."

Su Chen observed Lao Ba's technique and discovered something interesting.

When Lao Ba was slapping, he would constantly adjust the strength and angle of his hands according to the degree of fusion. After more than ten minutes of slapping, Chen Lao Ba exhaled heavily.

"Boss Su, do you think this will work?"

A piece of pie crust shows three gradient colors from the outer circle to the inner circle. Just looking at it now is already very beautiful.

Su Chen looked at the dough cake with satisfaction, "It should be OK. I haven't tried it yet. I won't know until I make it."

Cover the two kinds of noodles and put them aside to keep them awake for now. What Su Chen needs to do now is the oil core.

The main function of the oil core is to shorten the dough and make it more layered when fried.

This is simply adding flour and oil and kneading until even.

The oil core was kneaded, and the dough for the flower pistils was almost awake. Su Chen took out the dough and handed it to Chen Wenliang, "You can do it."

"Me?" Chen Laoba pointed at himself, "Can I do it?"

"Definitely better than me." What Su Chen said was true. He had rolled it out several times in the practice room, but every time the result was unsatisfactory.

Now let Chen Wenliang roll the dough, and I can learn something secretly.

"Okay." Chen Wenliang held the rolling pin, "How to do it?"

"Roll the yellow stamens into a square shape, and the oil core is also square. Roll out half of the stamens, then wrap it inside the yellow stamens, and then roll it into a thin slice of about three millimeters."

Good guy.

Chen Wenliang patted his forehead and said, "Boss Su, you really give me problems!"

Even though he said this, Chen Wenliang started to operate without hesitation. As soon as he rolled out a dough, he took a toothpick and pierced the dough with stamens.

"This is?"

Chen Wenliang said, "The all-purpose flour has a strong texture after being mixed with it. If you drop it on the panel, it will easily produce bubbles. If they are not punctured, it will not look good when fried later."

So that’s what happened

Su Chen quickly wrote down this little knowledge. No wonder the lotus cakes he fried were like fried cakes, with small bubbles all over the surface. It turned out that there were so many doorways here. If Chen Laoba hadn't been invited over, It is not necessarily possible to solve these problems smoothly.

I have to say that Lao Ba's white crime skills are definitely worthy of recognition.

Following Su Chen's instructions, the white oil core was wrapped into the yellow stamens, then sealed and rolled into a thin crust about three millimeters thick. This step was completed quickly.

"If you fold it three times, it's done."

Divide this piece of thin skin into three equal parts, then fold it up, cover with plastic wrap and continue to wake up.

"Eighth Senior Brother, your skills are really good. If you hadn't had a family, I would have really wanted to get you into the company." Su Chen looked at Chen Laoba's skills and felt a little envious in his heart.

"Hey, it's easy to say. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Chen Wenliang kept what Su Chen said in his heart.

In fact, he went all out today. In addition to helping, he also wanted to show Su Chen all his skills.

If there is really a chance for cooperation

Is it a problem to take care of a family?

If a man fails to make a fortune when he reaches the age of forty, he may never have a chance in this life. And Su Chen might be his noble man!

"Okay, the next step is the same way. You wrap the skin of the petals with oil core and roll it flat. This time you have to fold it in four."

With the previous operations, Chen Wenliang became much more proficient in doing this step.

Still rolling the dough, use a toothpick to poke the small bubbles that appear. Finally, fold the thinly rolled dough three times, fold the two ends toward the middle, and then fold it in half again. It is completed according to Su Chen's request.

"Can you please take a look at that noodle? We have to roll it out thinner now."

Chen Wenliang took the stamen noodles from before and pressed them. "It's no problem. Tell me what to do."

The main purpose of resting the dough is to remove the gluten in the dough, so that it will be easier to roll out. Otherwise, you have to roll it hard and the pastry layer will be broken.

Su Chen took a knife and cut a narrow strip along the side and looked at it, "Look, it's no problem."

Viewed from a cross section, the three layers of yellow and white are both uniform and beautiful.

Su Chen took it and folded it in half, "roll it out to the same thickness as before. The petal skin is also the same."

Fold it in half, then fold it three times, and finally roll it out into a thin crust. "Katsuo, where is the mold I asked you to buy?"

Liu Shengnan rummaged through a pile of things for a long time and handed over a cylindrical metal mold. The hollowed out end showed 12 semicircular shapes.

Just watching Su Chen use this mold to cut out 8 circles from the thin stamen skin, "I can only make 8 this time."

Chen Wenliang said, "Eight is a lot. This thing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it also tests your skills."

"Senior Brother Eighth, you need to help me rest a bit. The dough needs to be rolled out thick in the middle and thin around the edges. We will stuff it with stuffing later."

Chen Wenliang helped with the pistil skin, while Su Chen took out the finished white lotus paste that he had bought. This thing can be bought ready-made.

But when it came time to place an order, Su Chen decided it would be better to make some white lotus paste by herself.

"Wrap white lotus seed paste with pistil skin." Su Chen took a piece of skin and demonstrated, "Just like making a bun, just wrap it up and seal the mouth."

This step is not difficult for both of them.

Others who watched them made it felt like they wanted to try it, but no one dared to take the initiative to try such an exquisite pastry.

Su Chen and Chen Wenliang wrapped eight yellow stamens in white lotus paste, and then put them in the refrigerator to chill.

"It will harden after being refrigerated for a while, which is convenient when using a flower knife."

Chen Wenliang asked curiously, "Boss Su, you know everything. Did you learn it in some Chinese pastry school before?"

"That's not true." Su Chen said, "It's just a hobby."

Chen Wenliang glanced at Su Chen meaningfully.

I thought to myself why Boss Su always loves to pretend. How can anyone play a hobby like this? Your hobby is better than other people's professional ones, right?

Where is such a person?

In the same way, use the mold to cut out 8 petals.

At this time, the yellow balls that had been refrigerated for a while had hardened. Su Chen held a thin knife and said, "Pull the flower knife, the more you pull, the better it will look after it explodes."

First use a thin knife to cut a cross, and then make a total of 8 cuts in each fan-shaped area!

"Your knife skills are really ruthless and accurate."

Su Chen cut one and placed it on the plate, "It's okay."

Without the bonus of the badge, it would be impossible to cut it so steadily. This is a small ball with a diameter of about two centimeters. Most people cannot cut so many cuts into a ten-inch cake!

Cut all eight balls, and then use a knife to cut off the layer of yellow stamen skin under the balls.

Su Chen didn't want to explain anymore at this time.

I just feel cumbersome.

It’s no wonder that current apprentices don’t like to learn this Chinese pastry.

Indeed, Chinese pastries are both beautiful and delicious when made, but just such a lotus cake requires the two of them to study and make it.

There are not many people in the world who can match his skills, and there are only a handful of masters who can match Lao Babai's kung fu.

That’s it, after the lotus cake is made, it must be sold now!

This stuff doesn't last long, it's almost always made to order!

‘No wonder there isn’t much information about these pastries even on the Internet. ’

‘If this trend continues, this kind of thing will be lost soon’

Let’s take a look at other people’s Western-style baking.

Just stir it according to the recipe proportions, then throw it directly into the oven and wait for it to be done. It is simple and easy to get started. Even without special learning, you can make it in style!

‘Chinese pastries were the exclusive pastries for dignitaries in ancient times, and they are still the same today! ’

Ordinary people simply don’t have the energy to study, nor the economic conditions to taste it.

After carving out the red petal skin with a mold, use a rolling pin to roll it into a larger shape. It will also be thin on all sides and thick in the middle.

"It's finally over." Su Chen exhaled heavily.

Place the cut side of the knife downwards and the peeled oil core upwards. Place a whole yellow stamen in the middle of the red dough. Then press the stamen ball with one hand and use the tiger's mouth position with the other hand to push the petals back. , finally restrained into the shape of Shaomai, and then restrained again!

The hole was sealed.

"Wow! It's really not easy to make this pastry!" Chen Wenliang said with emotion.

Aunt Fang also hit her shoulder, "Don't talk about what you did, I feel tired just looking at it. Those people in ancient times were so awesome, they can think of all this."

"I used to watch TV and thought the emperor was really stingy when he gave snacks. Now it seems that if it's this kind of snack, it's really awesome!" He Shuting didn't know what was going on in her head. Anyway, she felt that this must be the talent of the emperor. Something to eat.

How can ordinary people eat this stuff?

Seal the ball and shape it slightly. Brush the uneven opening with a layer of egg wash and dip it in sesame seeds.

This is considered a concealer.

Continue to cool in the refrigerator until the balls harden and then take them out.

"Grandma's special! Just for this list, let me ask you, is 20,000 yuan expensive?" Su Chen pinched a ball angrily.

Even though he is a very patient person, he is also extremely irritable at the moment.

It seems that I am still far from being a craftsman.

"Twenty thousand?" Chen Wenliang scratched his head, "If you ask me, it's expensive or not. If you just talk about these two dim sums, they are definitely a bit expensive, but if you combine them with the environment and service, they can't be called expensive in any way. ”

"I don't think it's expensive either." Zhang Li found a stool somewhere and sat on it. Her short legs were dangling so much that she couldn't touch the ground. "I saw on the Internet that some people went to that Bulgari for an afternoon meal. Tea, a few pieces of cake costs thousands of dollars, and that can’t even compare to the tail of our pastry!”

In any case, Su Chen feels that this order of 20,000 yuan is definitely worth the money!

I still haven’t felt anything about this thing until I actually experience it.

Use a knife to cut the hard round ball 3 times on the side without sesame seeds, which represents 6 petals.

When the knife goes down, the depth is relatively deep, almost directly reaching the position of the stuffing.

"Oh, let's explode!"

8 small pink balls that look ordinary. If no one had seen their production process with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that this thing would be so complicated.

Su Chen pinched one and put it in the fence, "These things have to be blown up one by one, and they can't be thrown in all at once. Just wait."

The oil temperature was about 130 degrees. I held the small ball and put it into the clear oil. I saw small bubbles popping up from the small gaps.

As for Su Chen, in addition to putting the Yanli in the oil pan, his other hand was constantly adjusting the oil temperature by controlling the heat.

"High temperatures can easily cause discoloration. The most taboo thing about this pastry is high oil temperature."

Chen Wenliang also knows a thing or two about this, "The color of this kind of dough made with fruit juice and vegetable juice is very unstable, and the color will change if the temperature changes slightly."

As more and more bubbles appear on the surface of the ball.

Aunt Fang's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's open, it's open!"

"What's on?"

"Hiss! Look, it's really open!"

Zhang Li jumped off the chair with a plop, "What is blooming? Ah? What is blooming?"

Everyone focused their attention on the small ball in the strainer.

It should have been a round ball, but now the small bubbles it emits are actually hexagonal!

If you look closely.

Just look at the small ball at this moment, it is like a flower bud waiting to bloom, and Su Chen's hand seems to have magic!

The flower bud is blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye! ! !

When all the petals bloom, the stamens inside also bloom rapidly under frying. Unlike the blooming of the petals, the changes in the stamens look a bit chaotic, but this is more in line with people's perception of the shape of the stamens themselves.

When Su Chen picked up the lotus from the pot with chopsticks and placed it on the white jade plate.

Everyone present felt that their breathing became a little difficult.

"Boss Su, this is really making flowers out of rice!" Aunt Fang said with a double entendre.

It hit everyone's heart.

Liu Shengnan suddenly thought of something, and immediately took out a few things from the pile of things she bought and placed them on the plate.

Those were a few lotus leaves and a few lotus pods.

"Artwork, this is simply art! This..." Chen Wenliang could no longer think of any adjectives to describe the scene in front of him.

Six petals bloomed layer by layer, with pink edges, gradually changing to tender pink inside, and a bright yellow stamen inside.

With the decorative leaves, what kind of pastry is this?

This is exactly like a lotus being picked and placed on a plate!

"I can't imagine it, I have to take a photo quickly!" He Shuting immediately put her face close to the plate, click!

A group photo was taken.

And Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, it will be enough to handle this order, right?

Pastry dispute caused by socialites.

Chinese style, must win!
