Chapter 46 Specialized Swordsman
"You two girls are fighting here just for an egg cake?"
Mr. Huang is a typical person who is a mature person. The secret egg cake is actually just an appearance, and the real content is still in Zhou Dong. However, he still has to save face for this President Gu. After all, unlike Lu Luxin, he is like his own nephew, and he can speak without any restraint when he teaches a lesson.
"Okay, stop arguing. Lu Xin, don't you just want to try the secret egg cake made by this kid? I'll share it with you in one bite."
Huang Mingju was in a good mood. Unexpectedly, after returning from the provincial capital, Zhou Dong actually made new things. Although it was just a simple egg cake, food experts of his level knew that the simpler the food was, the more powerful it could reflect a chef's skills. 'The delicacies of mountains and seas were not expensive, can vegetables and tofu be real?'
But I can't taste Goubuli today. This kind of cheating rule was definitely not proposed by the boy Zhou Dong. That boy is so pure and has no such thoughts. It must be the ghost thing Liu Changqing. Sooner or later, I will get you a pair of shoes to wear!
"Old man, then we have agreed not to cheat." Lu Luxin expressed serious doubts. It's not that she refused to believe the old man. She is both a glutton, who doesn't know who?
Huang Mingju didn't say anything. At this moment, the waiter had already brought a hot secret egg cake and a bunch of breakfast. He didn't even look at the paired breakfast, but his eyes were always on the beautiful cloud patterns on the surface of the egg cake.
"The skin is like jade, and the appearance is like clouds! I didn't expect that I could have seen such legendary face-control skills!"
Huang Mingju took a deep breath. Facing the tempting aroma of the secret egg cake, he did not rush to put down the chopsticks, but gently brought it to him to watch it carefully, with a serious expression as if he was a pilgrimage!
Gu Yanan was not a diligent person, so he was naturally confused. However, Lu Luxin understood and asked in disbelief: "Old man, aren't you comparing him with 'My beauty Xiao'? His white kung fu is really good at this level?"
Meiren Xiao was a famous pastry master in the Qing Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a master. Someone once praised her for her ability to control faces to achieve the transformation state of "her skin is as jade, her appearance is as shiny, and her skill is not skillful". It is said that the snacks she made can make people see the filling in it flowing like flames through the surface, but add chopsticks on it without breaking it. Lu Luxin always thought this was just a legend.
Unexpectedly, the old man actually used the words of the ancients to praise Xiao Meiren to sue Zhou Dong. She really suspected that the old man was stunned by Goubuli buns. That guy is amazing, probably not yet to this level, right?
"You girl is too knowledgeable, and she has a problem of being biased against the past and being in the present. This problem needs to be corrected!
What happened to the ancients? Because it became a legend, it could not be surpassed today? It would have to be placed high on the sacred platform? If that were the case, how could my diligent skills develop!
Do you want to know how he did it?"
The old man was not in a hurry to eat, but pointed at the secret egg cake with chopsticks, and the noodles seemed to be smiling.
Well, it’s time to show my old man’s character, and it will also let you, an ignorant little girl, know why Prince Ma has three eyes!
"You old man, do you know? Tell me quickly."
Lu Luxin has been thinking about how Zhou Dong made the egg cake as transparent as jade, and how he made the cloud patterns like marble on the surface.
This is not just pursuing the glitz of the surface. The Chinese kitchen is the most concerned about "color, fragrance and taste". The word "color" is still the first. If the thing is made like a piece of shit, even if the taste is good, not many people will be willing to put chopsticks.
"The noodles he used were very ordinary, mainly wheat core powder, and also a small amount of strong powder; the latter was to ensure that the egg cake had enough wheat flavor, while the former was the mystery of making the egg cake look jade-like.
The wheat core powder has the highest transparency. If used to make dumplings, even ordinary people can be crystal clear and transparent, just like beautiful jade, and you can even see the filling inside through the dumpling skin. But this egg cake is one finger thick, so it will not be easy to do it."
Huang Mingju paused a little when he said this, thinking for a while, "And it also needs to add egg liquid, which makes it even more difficult to control. As my old man guessed, when he was alive, he must have controlled the position of the egg white and egg yolk liquid with a unique method, so that the egg white completely penetrated into the wheat core powder. This not only did not affect it, but also increased the transparency of the egg cake.
The egg yolk liquid was transformed into the cloud patterns you saw by him using special techniques. Lu Xin, take a closer look. Do these cloud patterns have a faint color of egg yolk?"
Lu Luxin looked carefully and it was as the old man said, nodding and said, "So it's that simple?"
"Simple? Show me a simple one! You are not bad at talent and learn things much faster than your senior brother. If you don't change this problem, your cooking skills will end here!"
Huang Mingqiu glared at her angrily: "Do you think he can learn this technique by himself? Not to mention that the wheat core powder is originally hard, but also needs to control the egg white liquid and egg yolk liquid, add rich powder, and control the heat to a slightest during frying, so that the egg yolk liquid can be heated beyond the rest of the cake body before it can reflect cloud patterns!
Just such a set of techniques, without tens of thousands of exercises and peerless talent mastering it? I am not that I look down on you, you are a good genius of cooking, but even if you give you two or three years, you will not be able to enter!
Go and go, don't poke your head to my old man. To punish you, the small piece of egg cake that I promised to have disappeared. I will enjoy this cake alone."
As if he was afraid of being snatched by Lu Luxin, the old man simply grabbed the egg cake and started eating it with relish.
While eating, he nodded and praised: "Miujiujiu. You guys have made this taste like this by your little egg cake. It seems that I will visit this breakfast department every day in the future."
"Ten thousand times of practice? Just for an egg cake? Where did he practice? The old man exaggerated the facts again!" Lu Luxin was reluctant to believe it, but she didn't dare to say much, otherwise the old man would have to scold him again.
Almost at the same time, the system issued a "ding" prompt, "The host's secret egg cake was a great success, and was recognized by authoritative local peers, and received 2,000 points of praise!"
Zhou Dong, who was resting in the kitchen for a short time, was delighted and looked outside. Sure enough, he saw two familiar faces, Lu Luxin and Mr. Huang. These two were good. Every time they came, they would send him thousands of praises. Now, not only did they make money back from consuming the praises in the kitchen of the fortune, but they actually saved money. If we count the praises provided by ordinary customers, the appreciations he accumulated at this moment was close to 4,000 points.
‘Ding, thanks to the host's unremitting efforts, the scent of Goubuli buns has been completed. The host has received a mission reward: a randomly given intermediate skill book!’
"That's great! It must be a basic skill book..."
Zhou Dong prayed secretly in his heart.
A golden light flashed in front of him, and a book appeared in front of him - "Specialized Level of Knife" (Note: equivalent to the level of special level (technician) knife skills)
