Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

A steamer of steamed dumplings was quickly eaten by Qi Han. He touched his slightly bulging belly, and a look of satisfaction appeared on Qi Han's face.

Ever since I came to Douluo Continent, I haven’t had Xiao Long Bao from my hometown for a long time.

Qi Han confidently walked to the interview desk and started making Xiao Long Bao.

There is no difficulty in cooking noodles like Xiao Long Bao. It is just a matter of neatly stacking the prepared Xiao Long Bao on the steamer and steaming them for a few minutes before they are ready.

And with the black technology provided by the system, this steaming process can even be shortened to one minute.

This traditional pastry has a history of nearly a thousand years, and all the difficulty in making it lies in the making of the dough and the preparation of the meat filling.

Qi Han picked up a kneading basin the size of a washbasin from the noodle table, poured in a full bag of high-gluten flour, then added cold water in batches and started kneading the dough.

The requirement for kneading the dough is to knead the dough until it is light and shiny.

The so-called "three lights" refer to surface light, pot light and hand light. Surface light means that the surface of the kneaded dough should be smooth and not too grainy. Pot light means that there should be no flour sticking to the pot.

Knead all the flour evenly into the dough. As for the hand light, it is similar to the pot light. It is required that there is no flour on the hands.

These are the requirements for kneading passed down from the older generation. Only those who can achieve these three points can be considered a noodle master.

But Qi Han has already mastered this step, which greatly speeds up his production of xiaolongbao.

Why have you mastered it? This is also due to the previous one-star recipe: Dragon Beard Noodles.

The difficulty of making Longxu Noodles lies in stretching the noodles, but if you want to stretch the 20-knot Longxu Noodles well, you must keep improving the process of kneading the noodles. Strictly speaking, Longxu Noodles have higher requirements for kneading noodles than Xiao Long Bao.

High, because only dough with the highest quality can be pulled as thin as a hair without breaking.

This is also the reason why Qi Han spent two days on this dish of dragon beard noodles.

But as the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Qi Han spent a lot of time on the dragon noodles, but now he saved on the xiaolongbao.

Even if he learns other noodles in the future, the crucial step of making noodles will no longer be difficult for Qi Han.

Take a piece of plastic wrap, hold the mixed dough tightly, and set it aside. This process takes about ten minutes and is called resting.

Qi Han has mastered the secret of awakening meat after countless attempts before, and this time the awakening noodles have a similar name to awakening meat, and they are also similar in nature.

The purpose of sobering the meat is to allow the temperature on the surface of the meat to penetrate into the interior, so that the internal temperature is consistent with the surface. Soaking the noodles has the same effect as sobering the meat.

Even if it reaches three times, it is impossible for the moisture in the dough to be completely uniform. It is inevitable that there will be some relatively dry dough inside. These doughs can absorb the excess moisture from other parts during the rising process, thus making the overall dough even.

Moisture becomes more even.

The process of rising the dough can not only increase the toughness and extensibility of the dough, but also increase the taste of the dough and prevent cracks and holes when rolling the dough.

For stuffed pastries like steamed buns, exposing the filling is a taboo.

Take the fat and lean meat with a fat-to-lean ratio of 1:4, chop them into meat fillings, add seasonings and egg whites, add some water and stir evenly, then add pig skin jelly, the meat filling and pig skin jelly should be 2:1.

Mix and stir until the color of the meat filling becomes brighter and lighter, and the meat filling process is completed.

It is worth mentioning that the system chooses badger pork as the lean and fat meat in the meat filling, but the raw material for making pig skin jelly comes from cinnamon pig, which is the raw material of Dongpo elbow.

.

Because of this, the cooked xiaolongbao meat filling will have a faint scent of osmanthus and a hint of sweet fruity aroma, taking the flavor to a higher level.

After the meat filling was made and the dough was almost finished, Qi Han cut the dough into small pieces about the size of his thumb and rolled them out on the chopping board into dough with a thick middle and a thin edge.

After rolling out, pat off the excess flour, stuff the meat filling into it, and fold it into a neat umbrella-shaped texture. This is how you have ready-made cute meaty steamed dumplings.

Put the steamed buns in the steamer, and after a minute, when Qi Han opened the steamer again, the faint aroma of steamed buns penetrated his nostrils.

Smelling the aroma that was no different from the xiaolongbao made by Xuying, Qi Han couldn't help but smile.

"System, how to price Xiao Long Bao?"

[The price of Xiaolongbao is: 5 gold soul coins/battery.]

"It's not ten gold soul coins?"

Qi Han was a little surprised. He thought that there were ten buns in a cage and one gold soul coin for each bun, so he still got ten gold soul coins.

[The cost of Xiao Long Bao is not high, and the production difficulty is not high. This system uses these two as the standard for pricing. 】

Qi Han nodded clearly. Cheaper is also a good thing. In addition to egg fried rice, diners in the small shop now have another staple food choice of the same price.

It took Qi Han two full days to make the dragon beard noodles, but it only took more than two hours to complete the making of the xiaolongbao. There were only some mistakes when mixing the fillings, but everything else went smoothly.

After all, Qi Han is no longer what he used to be. Cooking skills are interoperable. As he masters more recipes, Qi Han's overall understanding and control of cooking skills have also improved to several levels.

The staple food suggested by Fu Ya, Qi Han's choice was dragon beard noodles, Ying Shuangshuang wanted to eat steamed buns, so Qi Han chose Xiao Long Bao, and now, Ji Yunruo's sweets were left.

"System, redeem one-star recipe: Candied Haws."

Qi Han already had an idea about sweets and spoke without hesitation.

There are many desserts in Blue Star, and the candied haws of sugar can be said to be the most unsuitable for sale in a small store.

In the previous life of Blue Star, most of the candied haws-gluts were sold by old people holding straw targets as high as one person, with strings of candied haws-gluts stuck densely on the targets and selling them along the street.

But no matter what, Qi Han still chose it willfully, because the old people holding straw targets and hawking along the street formed his childhood.

Making candied haws is not difficult, just wash the hawthorns and remove the seeds, then thread them into skewers with bamboo skewers. After boiling the syrup, roll the skewered candied haws in the syrup, and sprinkle some white sesame seeds on it before it cools down.

, place it on a greased board and wait for the syrup to cool and form a hard icing.

The only difficulty is probably to boil the syrup. You need to mix rock sugar and water in a ratio of 1:1, put it in a pot and simmer over low heat. Do not stir during this process to avoid a chain reaction of crystallization. In the end, a pot of syrup becomes a pot of granulated sugar.

.

After it is almost cooked, use a spoon to scoop up a little syrup and drop it into the cold water. If it solidifies quickly and forms crisp sugar crystals, it means it is ready. At this time, you need to turn the heat to the minimum to keep the syrup from solidifying.

Otherwise, the syrup will gradually darken and turn yellow, lose its crystal clear color, and taste slightly bitter.

The preparation of candied haws on a stick is even simpler than that of xiaolongbao, so much so that Qi Han was able to make a perfect candied haws on a stick without even making ten mistakes.

After walking out of the system space, Qi Han slowly walked downstairs and looked up at the price wall of the store. At the bottom of the right half of the wall, there were three price tags quietly added.

Dragon Beard Noodles——10 gold soul coins/portion

Xiao Long Bao - 5 gold soul coins/bao

Candied haws - 1 Gintama coin/skewer

Among the price tags with more than a dozen gold soul coins, the candied haws with a price unit of silver soul coins stands out particularly conspicuously.
