Chapter 17 Mixing and Kneading Noodles

The next day, Gao Dian raised his energy, changed into clean clothes, and carried a bag of ten kilograms of flour upstairs.

Wei Lianzhang opened the door and saw that it was Gao Dian, and said, "Come in."

"Teacher, do you think I've brought so much enough?" Gao Dian asked quickly.

Wei Lianzhang looked at the bag of flour and said, "I don't have the final say or not, but you. If you learn quickly, you will not be able to use it. If you learn slowly, you may not be enough."

"Teacher, I think it should be enough." Gao Dian said confidently.

He didn't know how talented he was, but he still had plug-ins.

Although this plug-in cannot directly provide you with points to learn in an instant, it can allow you to see shortcomings and directions that need to be worked hard. With this alone, Gao Dian believes that he will make progress faster than others.

"It's good that you have confidence. Now come with me to the kitchen." Wei Lianzhang said.

Upon hearing this, Gao Dian followed Wei Lianzhang into the kitchen.

As soon as he walked in, Gao Dian was stunned.

I saw that the kitchen area was larger than the bedroom of the house he rented. There were rolling pins of different lengths and materials hanging on it, as well as various chopping boards and knives. The countertop was large and very wide, which was twice as wide as that of ordinary families.

The kitchen is made of white tiles, but there is no trace of dust. The whole kitchen is clean, tidy and bright. Not only is the countertop smooth and shiny, but the floor is also untainted.

Gao Dian walked to the door and was afraid to step on his feet.

Wei Lianzhang walked in and turned around and saw that Gao Dian did not follow. He not only said, "What are you looking at, but you can't come?"

"Teacher, why don't I put on a shoe cover? You're too clean." Gao Dian said.

"Come in, don't use any shoe covers. Keeping the kitchen clean should be what every chef should do," said Wei Lianzhang.

"Okay, okay." Gao Dian walked in.

Wei Lianzhang called Gao Dian to the stove and said, "Today I will teach you how to make dough." Wei Lianzhang said.

Gao Dian nodded.

"You scooped out some of the flour first."

Wei Lianzhang said, Gao Dian did it meticulously according to his words.

"Dough is the basis for making pasta. A good dough is the basis for making pasta delicious. Depending on the difference of each pasta, the dough is also different. You will learn these slowly in the future. Today I won't say so much to you. I mainly talk about the production of ordinary dough. Making dough is divided into two steps. One is kneading and the other is kneading."

"Let me talk about this dough first. Generally speaking, there are three main methods of dough, namely mixing, mixing, and mixing. The difference between the first two is one from the outside to the inside and the other from the inside to the outside. The third is generally using boiling water or hot water, stirring while adding water."

"The second step is to knead the dough. There are five main methods of kneading, pounding, squeezing, throwing, and rubbing. Generally speaking, these five methods of kneading are enough to knead the dough required for most of the dough. There are also some special methods, and it is not too late to learn when you encounter it."

Wei Lianzhang said, Gao Dian listened.

"By the way, Xiao Gao, have you never come into contact with these before?" Wei Lianzhang remembered what Gao Dian said before.

"Yes, yes, teacher." Gao Dian nodded and responded.

Wei Lianzhang was silent for a while and said, "Let's dots be it. There is a basic book in my study. Take it away when you leave, take it back and take it back to take it out. There are all the things I've talked about."

"Okay teacher." Gao Dian quickly responded.

"Well, you can watch me first. This time I use the mixing method to knead noodles, so you can watch it carefully." Wei Lianzhang said.

He rolled up his sleeves, put on an apron and hat, and his feet were separated, standing in a T-step, with his upper body slightly bent, and his body was body

Instead of leaning against the chopping board, it was separated by almost a fist.

He first dug a hole in the middle of the flour, then took a glass of water, poured the appropriate amount of water into the hole, and turned the flour from the outside to the inside with both hands.

The flour kept coming into contact with water, and slowly, the flour was wet and the water disappeared.

Wei Lianzhang closed the flour that was wet into snowflakes, pressed the dough with both hands, pushed it outwards hard, and pressed the dough apart. He repeated this action, rubbing his mouth while saying: "This is the five basic techniques of kneading. Generally, kneading is divided into two hands and one hand. I use both hands to rub it."

Gao Dian stared at Wei Lianzhang's movements with his eyes, afraid of missing a key move. He had never been so serious when he was in school.

When Wei Lianzhang kneaded the dough, he was so tired that he was panting and sweating on his forehead.

Kneading the dough requires kneading thoroughly, which requires a lot of effort.

If you were young and healthy, you wouldn't feel tired at all when you knead the dough, but now Wei Lianzhang is no longer young.

"Did you see it clearly?" Wei Lianzhang asked.

"I see clearly." Gao Dian replied.

"Okay, you go and do it now and come and see it." Wei Lianzhang said.

Gao Dian consciously remembered Wei Lianzhang's technique. In fact, the technique used by Wei Lianzhang was not complicated at all, and he deliberately slowed down when he did it.

Gao Dian walked to the stove and stood there. Just as he poured the flour on, he suddenly heard a scolding: "That's what I taught you? Have you seen it clearly?"

Gao Dian said a little aggrievedly: "Teacher, I can see it very clearly. I did it according to your steps."

Wei Lianzhang snorted and said, "You are not standing right, and you even said you did what I did."

"This..." Gao Dian scratched his head and tried hard to recall in his heart how Wei Lianzhang stood up just now.

Fortunately, not long after time, Gao Dian could still remember it. If it took a while, Gao Dian would probably not be able to remember it.

He learned from Wei Lianzhang's standing posture and adjusted his standing posture.

Wei Lianzhang nodded and said, "That's right, standing posture is also very important. Especially for kneading dough, a good standing posture can help knead dough. When you knead a little later, you should pay attention to it. Do not just use the strength of your arms and wrists, but add the strength of your whole body. This can ensure the strength of your dough to the greatest extent, and at the same time reduce the damage to your arms and wrists."

"Okay teacher, I understand." Gao Dian replied.

"Yeah, let's start." Wei Lianzhang said.

Upon hearing this, Gao Dian began to add water to the dough. He remembered how much Wei Lianzhang added. Although it was not accurate to every gram, he still knew the approximate dose.

After he mixed the water and dough well, he began to knead the dough.

Wei Lianzhang didn't say anything, and even saw Gao Dian doing something wrong, he didn't say anything.

While rubbing, Gao Dian recalled Mr. Wei's actions in his heart.

Soon, Gao Dian's dough was kneaded.

Put two doughs together, the right one is right.

The dough kneaded by Mr. Wei is smoother and looks round.

The surface of Gaodian dough looks smooth, but when you look closely, it is still a bit rough.

Two doughs, one seems to be carefully crafted and the other seems to be shoddy.

"Touch and see what's the difference?" said Mr. Wei.
