Chapter 676 Which Boy Can Refuse a Pink and Tender Little Peach? How to Eat Liu Sui! 【Please Subscribe】

"Master Qi, how hard should Da Taozi's noodles be?"

When Wei Gan saw Qi Siming starting to make big peaches, he asked curiously.

Qi Siming put the dough on the workbench, pressed it with a rolling pin and said:

"The harder the better, and the minimum hardness must be that of knife-cut noodles. Otherwise, the dough will deform or even crack when baked, which will affect the final presentation."

Wei Qian looked at the way he was struggling and felt that this meeting was a bit difficult.

Especially for those who are not proficient in baking dough, wet dough and hard dough are both difficult points for pastry chefs.

Niu Chuang said:

"Just go to the pastry department and work overtime these two days. Although you may not be able to reach the level of our boss, you can still be a peach."

Upon hearing this, Wei Gan felt relieved.

Qi Siming used a rolling pin to flatten the hard dough little by little. The entire dough was covered with indentations from the rolling pin.

After finishing the work, I took the rolling pin and rolled out the thick hard dough as much as possible. This process was very slow, but it was this slowness that made the rolled out dough very smooth.

Roll out the dough, cut it in the middle with a kitchen knife, and divide it into two halves.

The two halves of the longevity peach must be determined at the beginning and made separately. Only in this way will the longevity peach be beautiful and complete.

If you put the pastry on the dough and then cut it, it will cause cracks and may even cause the oil to seep out, affecting the appearance.

After dividing, take the remaining half of the pastry dough, separate it again, roll it into two pieces of pastry dough, and stack them on the hard dough sheet.

Then take the jam over and carefully brush a layer on top.

Qi Siming said while doing this:

"This step didn't exist in the past. It's all because today's people are naughty and force chefs to make improvements... There shouldn't be too much jam in this layer, otherwise it will roll out when rolling it out. It's such a thin layer, if you want it to taste delicious. , you have to make the flavor stronger, otherwise it won’t taste good.”

In the past, they were all white flour pancakes. In the era when food and clothing were scarce, they had a sweet taste and a crispy texture. They were already considered a rare snack.

But now that there are abundant materials, adults, let alone children, don’t like to eat this kind of dough pancakes, so they add jam to add a new flavor to the dough pieces.

When Wei Qian heard this, he quickly wrote it down. This step is very important for rich-flavored jam.

Aunt Sun asked:

"If you don't like jam, what else can you put in it?"

"Put in crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, and add some brown sugar, but not too much, just a thin layer."

After Qi Siming finished speaking, he grabbed the prepared peanuts and sesame seeds and sprinkled them on the jam, rolled it out with a rolling pin, and then folded the two dough sheets in half in a three-fold manner.

After folding, don't roll it out in a hurry. You have to put it aside to relax first.

This will allow the dough pieces to fit together as much as possible.

After relaxing for a while, roll out the dough, carefully roll it out, then fold it in half and relax again.

Roll both dough pieces into round cakes, take the mold and place it on the chopping board, then cover the rolled dough piece, remove the excess corners, place it directly on the baking sheet, and send it to the oven for processing Bake.

These two dough pieces are large and need to be baked for a while.

After making the big peach dough, Qi Siming took Niu Chuanghe's green dough, divided it into two halves, and rolled out the two pieces of dough respectively.

He said to Wei Gan:

"The green leaves should not be too big, but the color must be good. If the amount of green juice is not enough, you can add some matcha powder or mugwort juice to increase the green color as much as possible."

Roll it out, apply a layer of lard on the inside, fold it in half several times, roll it out again, and sprinkle a layer of peanuts and sesame seeds.

Fold it in half and wrap it properly, then roll it into a long and thin strip, as close to the shape of a peach leaf as possible.

Roll it out and press the leaf pattern in the middle, then put it in another oven for baking.

"The leaves are for matching. If you want to be more careful, you can also make some veins, but in that case, the leaves will be too beautiful and will take over the center stage. It is unnecessary."

The purpose of making the peach super huge is to attract everyone's attention.

If the green leaves are made lifelike, the guests will turn their eyes from the peaches to the leaves, creating a visual effect that overwhelms the guests, which is not good.

Therefore, the leaves should be made more carelessly and don't take them too seriously.

At this time, a lot of little peaches have been wrapped. Shen Jiayue carefully sprayed plant pigments on each package.

The small peaches that have been sprayed with pigment must be carefully placed on a baking tray lined with baking paper. If enough is enough for one tray, they are sent to the pastry department, where they are baked in the large oven.

All the peaches were wrapped, Lin Xu wiped his hands and said:

"Finally it's wrapped. I'm more tired than making cakes this time."

The reason why Chinese desserts are declining is that there are too many manual procedures and too much experience. In the past, if an apprentice wanted to become a master chef in his own right, it would take ten years of hard work.

As for Western-style dim sum, there is no such thing.

There are crash courses in cake training all over the country. It takes one month to open a store and two months to open a store. Even many chain franchisees provide training and promise to provide teaching and training.

It’s the same dim sum. One side takes ten years, while the other side can be made quickly in two or three months.

In this comparison, Chinese dim sum naturally does not have many advantages.

"What's next?"

Shen Jiayue took a small spray bottle and sprayed it twice on the workbench. She was like a hyperactive child who couldn't sit still at all.

Lin Xu confiscated the small watering can in her hand again and reassigned some tasks:

"Next, we need to make some adhesive. Mash the steamed glutinous rice into a paste. The more paste the better, so that the big peach can be stuck together."

Shen Jiayue was stunned:

"Shall I do it?"

"Yeah, it saves you from using up the pigment."

Shen Jiayue pouted, Niu Chuang went to the pastry department and dug out a bowl of steamed glutinous rice and brought it over. Lin Xu sprinkled some soft white sugar into it while it was still hot, and added some custard powder for coloring.

Try to make the glutinous rice paste the same color as the big peach.

Shen Jiayue cleaned a small ceramic jar used for making desserts, wiped away the water, poured the glutinous rice balls into it, and pounded it with a mallet.

She was a little reluctant at first, but once she felt the fun, she got excited.

Watch as the glutinous rice balls inside gradually turn into sticky and stringy glutinous rice paste. At the same time, the soft white sugar melts little by little and is absorbed by the glutinous rice balls, making the glutinous rice even more sticky.

The whole process seemed very relaxing, and as the pounding progressed, the glutinous rice balls became smoother and smoother, giving Shen Jiayue the feeling of making glutinous rice cakes.

Hoho, I discovered that making glutinous rice cake is so easy.

I secretly filmed a VLOG about making glutinous rice cakes later to avoid netizens always saying that I am not good at cooking.

At this moment, Lin Xu was explaining to Wei Qian the essentials of making longevity peaches. Shen Jiayue looked at him and asked:

"Xubao, can Ciba just keep pushing like this?"

"Tianba doesn't use sugar. If you add sugar, it will be easy to burn when fried. Usually there will be some fillings inside."

Hoho, it’s so simple. It seems it’s time for me, Chef Shen, to show off my skills!

At this time, Lin Xu opened the oven for baking the big peaches. The dough had dried and the surface had hardened. He took it out carefully and removed the stainless steel mold inside.

Once the dough is shaped, you must take out the mold, otherwise the dough will not be baked through easily, and the stainless steel mold heats up quickly and remains at a high temperature, which will cause the dough attached to it to fall off.

After taking it out, put it in the oven and continue baking at a low temperature to bake out as much moisture as possible from the dough. This can effectively prevent the dough from softening and collapsing.

After Shen Jiayue finished making the glutinous rice paste, those little pink peaches were baked in the large oven of the pastry department.

When they were brought out of the oven, Ji Minghui, who was explaining the essentials of pastry to the chefs, couldn't help but turn his face. The chefs also looked sideways, staring directly at these little peaches.

Wei Gan smiled and said:

"No man can refuse pink food. If there is any, then have another plate."

Zhu Yong glanced at him with disdain:

"Did you get beaten up by Tiantian?"

"Go, go, you're such a sissy. My Tiantian hasn't hit me for more than a month. Don't talk nonsense..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized there was something wrong with his words and said:

"It's not about beating me, it's about urging me to exercise. Do you know how it feels to have developed abdominal muscles for the first time in more than 20 years since I was born?"

Compared with the Diaoyutai period, Wei Gan has lost a lot of weight now, his originally chubby face has turned into a long face, and his figure has become healthy and well-proportioned.

Zhu Yong snorted:

"I also practice boxing every day. Am I proud?"

Zhuang Yizhou laughed and said:

"Are you practicing boxing or being a punching bag?"

Zhu Yong's old face turned red:

"This couple thing, can that be called being a punching bag? This is a sweet little fist fight, you don't understand... My uncle plans to let me take Lulu home, but I'm afraid Lulu won't agree, what do you think I should do? ?”

Wei Qian and others said in unison:

"Then let her get a beating!"

Bringing the roasted peaches to the small kitchen, Shen Jiayue came over with her mouth watering. These pink and cute little peaches are so adorable.

She took out her mobile phone and started shooting by simulating a slide.

When she was about to finish filming, she saw a small peach filled with brown sugar and peanuts cracked. Seeing the thick brown sugar flowing out of the cracked part, she couldn't help but pinch it.

"This seems to be cracked, let me take care of it."

After saying that, she sucked on the cracked part. The sweet feeling was so delicious.

Then I tasted the skin of the small peach. It was fragrant and crispy, and also had a light milky aroma. It was more delicious than I imagined.

"This peach is delicious, I think we can serve it in the store."

In the store?

Lin Xu only felt that this kind of traditional birthday peach did not have a large audience, and he never thought about monetizing it.

But Guobao Baobao's suggestion made him think of another direction, that is - a customized birthday banquet!

It is not possible to sell this kind of longevity peaches as a new dish in the store. After all, it takes too long. It is estimated that the customers will be full and drunk before they are baked.

But it’s no problem to bring it to the table, or even include the dishes directly in a high-end birthday banquet.

As for the birthday peaches, they can also be divided into three types: large, extra large, and extra large. The number of small birthday peaches included varies and can be changed according to the number of guests.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said:

"It's a good idea. Let's warm it up among the customer base starting tomorrow and see if anyone likes it."

The leaves were already baked at this time. Lin Xu took it out from the oven, found a large plate with a diameter of two feet, and placed two leaves in it.

By the way, take out the green juice and spray another layer on the leaves while it's hot to increase the color.

After doing this, the big peaches have been roasted. Take them out of the oven, carefully place them on the work surface, and then put the roasted small peaches in one by one.

When placing the peaches, be careful not to put any leaky peaches inside, as this will cause the peaches to be all over the place, affecting the appearance.

Shen Jiayue deliberately picked out the small peaches with their fillings exposed, put them on a plate and took them outside for Lao Suntou, Xiao Qingshuyun and others to taste.

The small peaches have a soft outer skin, and different fillings have different flavors, making them very delicious.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu packed the small peaches into the big peach as much as possible, spread a layer of glutinous rice paste evenly on the edge of the big peach, then buckled the other half, squeezed carefully, and used the stickiness of the glutinous rice to make the two sides Half a large peach glued together.

While he was doing this, Qi Siming held a hair dryer and blew wind on the bonded area to speed up the bonding.

When the glutinous rice paste is a little dry, carefully stand the peaches up and start coloring.

Use a spray bottle to start spraying red juice on the surface of the peaches.

The water mist sprayed from the watering can is very fine. When sprayed on the peaches, it gives people a feeling of blurred colors. It looks very comfortable and has a strong sense of reality.

After the red juice is sprayed, hold the peach in both hands and carefully put it on the large plate.

At this point, the entire Baizi Shoudao is officially completed.

Although this snack is called Baiko Shoudao, it can only hold dozens of peaches. To reach a hundred, the diameter of the peaches is estimated to be more than 80 centimeters, or the peaches must be made smaller.

But these are not necessary. This is just for fun, there is no need to really pick out the words.

After carrying the plate outside, Xiao Qing and Shu Yun immediately gathered around, holding up their mobile phones and taking pictures:

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"Yes, it's big and beautiful. It's much more grand than a three-layer cake."

"It's a pity that it's too far from my hometown. Otherwise, I would definitely order one for my grandma's birthday."

"Come and take a photo with me. It's my first time seeing such a big peach. I have to keep it as a souvenir."

"..."

This will keep the waiters and chefs from being busy before dinner time. When the big peaches are ready, everyone will gather around and start taking pictures with their mobile phones.

Some of the photos and short videos taken were sent to the fan group, some to the customer group, and some were posted directly to the topic of Linji Food.

When the blind taxi driver and others who had just driven to Miyun saw this, they immediately made a series of surprised expressions:

"Here, such a big peach, is it freshly made?"

"Awesome, awesome, we just arrived in Miyun, and before we had time to check in with the gambling and drug addict, Boss Lin actually came up with a new trick."

"I don't know how this peach is sold. I really want to try it."

"Me too, I want to try it, it will be very delicious."

In the store, after everyone had finished taking photos, Xiao Qing asked:

"How do you eat this thing? Is it like smashing the golden eggs in the variety show, just smash it directly?"

Lin Xu smiled and shook his head:

"There are many ways to eat it. If you are strong enough, you can just break it open. The peach is in two halves anyway. You can also use a dessert knife to make a small slit from the side."

After saying that, he took a bread knife and drew a square shape on the peach.

With a little more force, the piece of dough was taken away, and the small peach inside was completely exposed, and at the same time, a strong fragrance of dough wafted out.

After cutting it open, Lin Xu took out a small peach and brought it to his mouth and took a bite. It was actually filled with chocolate hazelnuts and it tasted quite comfortable.

Wei Qian held a dessert tote and took out the small peaches inside for everyone to taste:

"No matter whose birthday is today, I wish him a happy birthday first... The dough and peach leaves of the big peach can also be eaten. Don't waste it. Eat them all and leave your comments. We will have new ones in the store later."

As soon as they heard about the new arrival, the waiters became even more excited.

The new arrival in the store means that you can often eat this dessert, which feels wonderful just thinking about it.

Lin Xu said:

“Only make new ones on the table so they can be prepared in advance.”

After that, he said to Shu Yun who was eating small peaches stuffed with lotus paste:

"Based on Shoudao, we will plan different levels of birthday banquets so that customers who are not short of money but too lazy to bother at home can come to the store to celebrate their birthdays."

"Okay, I'll start formulating it later."

This kind of dishes should pay attention to the combination, but also the meaning and health preservation.

After all, birthday banquets are usually for the elderly. If there are a bunch of spicy, spicy and chewy dishes, wouldn't it embarrass the birthday girl?

Shu Yun thought for a moment and came up with a countermeasure.

Because the table dishes are customized and can be prepared in advance, the dishes are not restricted. Basically, anything Lin Xu knows can be served.

In fact, Shu Yun also planned to come here.

Dishes such as Tai Chi chicken porridge, five-color chicken porridge, three sets of duck, mother oil boat duck, etc. are all ready to be listed.

Anyway, high-end cuisine, naturally how to make money.

The price of such a table of dishes has already reached five figures. Although it seems quite expensive, for people who are not short of money, compared with the happiness of the old man, this little money is nothing.

After eating the birthday peaches, Qi Siming gave Wei Qian a few more instructions, then packed some small birthday peaches and drove to the Huihuang Building to find Zeng Xiaoqi.

Lin Xu ate a small peach, and then tasted the leaves that were filled with the fragrance of wheat seedlings. The sesame and peanut chips inside tasted very good, and they were fragrant and enjoyable to chew.

While eating, Shen Jiayue asked:

"Xubao, how do you eat the willow ears we brought? I'm going to let my parents come to the store to taste them and feel the taste of nature."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"There are many ways to eat catkins. You can blanch them like you eat them for lunch, and mix them with tofu. You can also steam them, stir-fry them, make steamed buns, or even wrap them in batter and fry them. You can do whatever you want. tasty."

"Wow, can you make them all for me? I want to try them all... Unfortunately, they don't seem to be sold in the capital, so I can't even eat them."

Lin Xu would naturally not refuse such a request.

As for the lack of food in the capital, it doesn’t matter. You can still eat it in Yinzhou later.

"Wouldn't you be old by then?"

Lin Xu shook his head:

"You can boil it like sophora flowers and then dry it in the sun. It can be stored for a long time... Let's make what we brought today first. If you like it, just ask Fang Hongyan to buy some later."

After saying that, he returned to the kitchen and started preparing Liu Sui.
