Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Friends, have you heard of the golden ratio of siu mai?

Xie Yunfei didn’t have any big emotional fluctuations about the matter of time travel when there was a disagreement.

Before the crossing, he was an orphan himself. Although he had friends, they were not that kind of close friends. As for his girlfriend…does the silicone one count?

The only thing, or the only thing that can be called a hobby, is probably watching anime after get off work, plus gourmet recipes from the Internet.

“Chef…” Xie Yunfei murmured.

When he was in the orphanage, Xie Yunfei’s biggest dream was to be a chef because of the poor conditions. Like everyone else, the dream of being a chef naturally turned into a child’s nonsense.

So, do you want to give it a try?

Xie Yunfei, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, subconsciously raised his hands, clenched his fists, released them, clenched his fists again, and released them again… After repeated several times, he made a decision.

Since the higher-ups have appointed me to be the God of Cooking, why would I want to shirk?

come! Hurt each other! Let’s see who is more aggressive!

【Ding! The host has completely accepted the system, and at this point, all soul bindings have been completed, and at the same time, the task of “Trying Skills” was issued. 】

First test of skills: Make a blue or higher dish within a week, and the completion degree must not be lower than 80.

Mission reward: a novice gift pack, 1000 points, and the mall system is opened.

Punishment for failure: Yuanyue wears a nude apron and runs around the teaching building ten times during class.

“…”

It’s very good. It smells like Joy Shuke.

Xie Yunfei grumbled and stood up, with the suitcase on his right hand. Perhaps considering Xie Yunfei’s actual situation, although he was expelled from school, he was not immediately kicked out of the dormitory. Of course, Mrs. Wenxu’s credit was indispensable for this.

If it was his predecessor, he might stay in the dormitory for a few days because he was too sad, but Xie Yunfei, who had already developed the habit of not relying on others before traveling, decided to bid farewell to Mrs. Wenxu after clarifying his current situation. , to deal with the old man’s funeral.

Mrs. Wenxu was cleaning the hall as usual. Seeing Yunfei walking downstairs with the suitcase, she was slightly taken aback, and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But Xie Yunfei didn’t give her a chance to speak, “Mrs. Wenxu, I’m here to say goodbye.”

As the Jixing Liao with quite a glorious history in Yuanyue College, although many students drop out of school for various reasons every year, there are very few who suffer major blows one after another like this young man in front of him.

Mrs. Wenxu looked like a bad old woman, but she was quite kind-hearted. She was worried that Xie Yunfei would have suicidal thoughts, so she even went directly to the teacher in the Academic Affairs Office, asking him to forgive Xie Yunfei for a few days.

These things, let alone Xie Yunfei, even his predecessor was completely unaware of them.

“Are you ready to go? That’s okay, remember to take good care of yourself.” Mrs. Wenxu’s tone was a little low, and after she finished speaking, she couldn’t help sighing again, “I want to taste the pastry you made Yunfei in the future, but It won’t be easy.”

Like other students in Jixing Liao, before moving in, Xie Yunfei’s predecessor had also gone through Mrs. Wenxu’s moving-in assessment, and what he made at that time was, among other things, the Sixi Shaomai he had learned from the old man.

Although the predecessor has also made many other pastries after moving in, the one that is most popular with Mrs. Wenxu, no, rather the one that is popular with the entire Jixingliao residents, is Sixi Shaomai from beginning to end.

Thinking of the delicious taste of vegetables, fungus, egg flower, and pork in her mouth, Mrs. Wenxu couldn’t help swallowing.

I still want to eat Sixi Shaomai again.

Such thoughts made Mrs. Wenxu feel a little dazed. Although she knew it was wrong, her strong appetite still made her open her mouth again, “Yunfei, how about making Sixi Shaomai for my old lady before I leave?”

“Eh…” Looking at Mrs. Wenxu who was blushing in front of her like a young girl in love, Xie Yunfei almost subconsciously took two steps back, not even hearing what the other person said clearly. Fortunately, Mrs. Wenxu, who was captured by delicious food, didn’t notice Xie Yunfei’s strangeness, but just repeated what she said earlier.

Someone asked me to make food, promise? Or refuse?

The answer is obvious.

Don’t care about him so much, of course, let’s do it first.

However, Xie Yunfei was not a simple boy after all. Before entering the kitchen, he did not forget to give Mrs. Wenxu who was waiting behind him two vaccinations.

“What will be made later may not be perfect, after all…” Xie Yunfei said while pretending to be sad, but he praised his acting skills in his heart.

The teenager has undergone great changes, and his cooking skills have regressed due to his bad mood.

This situation is very logical.

Even though he said that, Xie Yunfei didn’t intend to fool Mrs. Wenxu. He decided to try his best to see what he could do after inheriting the memory and cooking skills of his predecessor.

Sixi Shaomai, a noodle dish with a festive name and profound meaning, is a little more complicated to make than ordinary siu mai.

While ‘reviewing’ the recipe, Xie Yunfei started kneading and kneading the dough.

It was an instinctive feeling. When the flour was touched, the brain started to move before the brain could react.

In just a moment, the flour, which was like lumps before, turned into dough in Xie Yunfei’s hands.

Cover it with a clean towel, put it aside for a while, and start preparing the filling at the same time.

The name of Sixi Shaomai is originally related to the recipe of this dish. The chef needs to prepare four kinds of fillings according to the dishes prepared by diners.

All kinds of vegetables, common meat, fungi, and even shrimp, crabmeat and crabmeat can be added.

A combination of different fillingsIt can produce a completely different taste, and adding a plate of sauce can give it a new experience.

It can be said that Sixi Shaomai is a dish with infinite possibilities.

Coincidentally, before time travel, Xie Yunfei once personally made Sixi Shaomai because of a certain animation. However, the shape of the siu mai he made is slightly different from the blue recipe left by his predecessor.

The result of that time… Well, although the taste is not bad, the appearance is not very good.

After trying many times, Xie Yunfei finally came to such a conclusion – with his family cooking skills, the possibility of recreating the siu mai in his brain is infinitely close to zero.

Fortunately, at this time and that time, the current him, because of the relationship between the system and his predecessor, his culinary skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, and the mere shape of siu mai is not a problem at all.

“Stuffing, done!”

Glancing at the fillings placed in the four plates on the table, Xie Yunfei nodded in satisfaction.

Shrimp stuffing, pork stuffing, vegetable stuffing mixed with shepherd’s purse and green vegetables, and finally black fungus stuffing to increase the taste.

At this time, the dough is just about fermented.

Knead the dough into long strips, divide it into small pieces of equal size, and pick up the rolling pin that was prepared earlier. It is said to be a rolling pin, but it is actually a large iron stick with a diameter of six to seven centimeters and a length of two feet, which is quite different from the wooden rolling pins of other pastry chefs.

According to the old man who adopted his predecessor, this iron rod has existed for longer than the old man, but it is very easy to use.

Press the palm, roll the iron bar forward, then change the direction of the dough, repeat the same steps.

In just five or six seconds, a piece of siu mai skin as thin as a cicada’s wing appeared in front of Yunfei.

“Oh oh oh!” Mrs. Wen Xu’s exclamation sounded from the side.

Although it’s not the first time I’ve seen it, there are only six or seven people in the entire Yuanyue Academy who have such proficient rolling skills.

It’s just a pity that such an outstanding student is about to leave because of the food halberd system.

Mrs. Wenxu, who had long been used to parting, couldn’t help sighing in her heart at this time.

Xie Yunfei didn’t know Mrs. Wenxu’s inner activities. He was completely focused on cooking. After rolling out more than 20 pieces of siu mai skins, he started filling the stuffing.

The filling method of ordinary Sixi Shaomai is to pull the dough up and down, left and right, stick the corners with water at the midpoint, so as to form four small pockets of equal size, and then fill the small pockets with fillings. fill up.

As for the Sixi Siu Mai that Xie Yunfei is going to make, although there are four small pockets, one of them can hold about half more fillings than the other three small pockets.

To make this kind of siu mai, imagination is important, but what is more important is constant experimentation and the skillful hands of the pastry chef.

Before time travel, Xie Yunfei had tried many methods, and he already had a general idea in his mind, and the cooking skills left by his predecessor could help him realize the ideas in his mind.

“Huh? This is?”

Mrs. Wenxu on the side was a little surprised. As the manager of Jixing House, she naturally watched from the sidelines when the residents were studying the dishes. As for Sixi Shaomai, she had watched it more than once because of her fondness for it. The production of the predecessor.

As for the production process, not only is it clear to the chest, but it can also be discussed on paper.

But this time, Mrs. Wenxu was stunned as she saw the Sixi Shaomai gradually taking shape in Xie Yunfei’s hands, which was completely different from the past.

The appearance of the siu mai is a bit weird, giving people a top-heavy feeling.

If it had been different, with Mrs. Wenxu’s character, she would have spoken out to stop or ask questions when she saw such a weird dish.

For Ji Xing Liao’s traditional ‘dark’ cuisine, she is very grateful.

but……

Thinking of the young man in front of her who had just lost her dearest family member, endured the grief and was cooking for herself. The words that had reached her throat were forcibly swallowed by her again.

Forget it, no matter how it tastes later, let’s say it’s delicious.

Mrs. Wenxu murmured in her heart, and even prepared to run back to her room to get a box of stomach medicine.

And at this moment, Xie Yunfei, who was standing in front of the kitchen table, finished making the last siu mai.

“Finish!”
