Time flies, and a few more days have passed.

Since Wei Qiaoyi told him that he could not continue to practice white jade jade dumplings, Gao Dian devoted almost all his energy to the improved lily crisp recipe.

The result is OK, the distance between Gaodian is improved well, and there is not much distance left.

The general direction of improvement has been determined, and now only one problem plagus Gao Dian.

As long as this problem is solved, all that remains is water grinding skills.

This may take a long time for others, but for Gao Dian, with plug-in assistance, it takes far less time than others think.

This is the advantage of Gaodian.

In the evening, when it was closing time, Gao Dian asked Yan Sen to leave first as usual, keeping the guests who had not left, and just let him greet him.

When Yan Sen heard this, he wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he said nothing and left without packing up his things.

Shortly after Yan Sen left, someone came to the store. Seeing this, Gao Dian immediately met him.

He shouted: "Teacher!"

The visitor was Mr. Gao Dian Wei Lianzhang.

This was Wei Lianzhang's first time to visit Gaodian's shop. After he walked in, he looked around.

"Yes, your place is pretty clean." Wei Lianzhang said with a smile.

Wei Lianzhang does not attach much importance to decoration. Whether it looks good or not is personal aesthetics.

However, Wei Lianzhang valued the cleanliness of the environment very much.

When he first taught Gaodian, he was to keep the kitchen clean.

In fact, the same is true for opening a store. Cleaner places can always make people have a better appetite.

No one likes the place where food is dirty.

When Gao Dian heard Wei Lianzhang's praise, he smiled and said, "Teacher, please sit down."

Wei Lianzhang sat down and wiped the table with his hands, with almost no oil stains, which made him more and more satisfied.

"What else can you eat in your store? Make some for me." Wei Lianzhang said.

Gao Dian heard this and smiled bitterly: "Teacher, the things I took out for sale have been sold out, and the rest are all ingredients for practice."

Wei Lianzhang didn't care about this and said, "Then you will make a copy for me to taste when you practice later."

Upon hearing this, Gao Dian had to nod and respond.

The customers in the store left not long after, Gao Dian went to clean up the dishes and wiped the table clean.

Then, he said to Wei Lianzhang: "Teacher, then I'll go to the kitchen."

"Go." Wei Lianzhang said.

After Gao Dian entered, Wei Lianzhang sat there and began to think quietly.

Time passed slowly, Gaodian brought out a portion of lily pastry, a total of three, Gaodian also made exquisite arrangements.

"Teacher, try it out," said Gao Dian.

This lily pastry is a lily pastry that has been improved by Gaodian. When it comes out of the pot, it also has a faint lily fragrance.

Gao Dian stood aside, looking expectant. He wanted to hear the teacher's opinions and comments.

Wei Lianzhang smiled and said, "The lily crisp I made today is a bit different."

"Teacher, did you see it?" Gao Dian was not very surprised.

"This flower fragrance is the fragrance of lily, right? Have you improved this lily crisp? Added the taste of lily?" Wei Lianzhang asked.

Gao Dian didn't say a word, but Wei Lianzhang had already guessed that he was a top pastry master. His vision was indeed fierce.

"Yes, teacher, please try to see how I improved it." Gao Dian nodded and admitted.

"Then I'll try it." Wei Lianzhang nodded with a smile, and he was very happy.

After picking up a lily crisp, Wei Lianzhang first put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. He could smell a very clear smell of lily.

I just felt it was very light, but after leaving me, I could smell it very clearly.

I took a bite and it looked crispy, and every time I broke, there was a smell of lily released.

Next is the filling inside. Every time you take a bite, the taste bursts in your mouth, with a rich texture and a rich floral aroma.

He also found that the floral fragrance on the outside is different from the floral fragrance on the inside. The floral fragrance on the outside is more lively, while the floral fragrance on the inside is more restrained.

The two kinds of flowers have different fragrances, and the repeated interweaving brings the ultimate taste enjoyment.

"Not bad! Not bad! It's really good!"

Wei Lianzhang said three things in a row, and his eyes looked at Gao Dian even softer, and his eyes were filled with relief.

He was very happy today, even happier than Gao Dian's previous championship and second place.

He saw that Gao Dian did not stick to the rules and did not follow the fixed path of his predecessors, but was innovating and trying to walk out of his own path.

Although it is still very immature and the change is not too great, this is a good sign. As long as you persevere in your practice, you will definitely be able to find your own path in the future.

This is what Wei Lianzhang wants to see the most.

Wei Lianzhang was very relieved, and he felt that most of the regrets had passed away.

Hearing Wei Lianzhang's exaggeration, Gao Dian couldn't help but be happy.

It was Wei Lianzhang who led him on this path, and it was Wei Lianzhang who paved the way for him. Gao Dian was full of respect for his teacher.

In the past, my teacher rarely praised him, and basically scolded him severely.

It is natural to be happy to praise yourself now.

"Teacher, what else do you think is insufficient?" Gao Dian asked.

Although I am happy, Gao Dian still hopes that the teacher can point out the shortcomings to himself.

Or, if you can tell a better direction of improvement, Gao Dian will be happier.

However, Wei Lianzhang did not say anything, he just shook his head and said, "There are many shortcomings, but I can't give you guidance."

Gao Dian looked at his teacher with some confusion and asked, "Why?"

Wei Lianzhang said: "You are walking out of your own path. I am different from you, so naturally I cannot give you guidance. After that, maybe no one can give you guidance, you must continue by yourself."

Speaking of this, Wei Lianzhang felt that this was too empty, so he changed his tone and said, "Just like this lily crisp, you improved it according to your own ideas. I don't understand it, so naturally I can't give any advice. As for some of the shortcomings, it is water grinding skills, you can just grind it slowly by yourself."

Upon hearing this, Gao Dian nodded and said, "I understand the teacher."

Wei Lianzhang responded, and he didn't care whether Gao Dian really understood.

It would be best if he understood these words. If he didn't understand them, he would understand them in the future.

It doesn’t make sense to say too much at this time, let it be natural.

Gao Dian was a little confused, but he believed that the teacher would not harm him.

"Can you tell me how this lily crisp is made?" Wei Lianzhang asked.

He is still very interested in this, of course he does not want to have a high-quality and improved formula.

With his voice, there are too many innovative formulas, so he really doesn't care about this.

Gao Dian didn't think much about it, so he started talking.

"The inspiration was originally from two different lily creams. Later I wondered whether I could combine the two into one. It has its shape, its taste, and its fragrance.

Combining these three into one is the lily crisp I made.”

Wei Lianzhang said: "I probably understand what you said. What you added to the filling is air-dried lily petals, and how does the lily smell on the surface be integrated into it?"

Gao Dian smiled and said, "It's extraction. I soaked fresh lily petals in lard to make the taste and aroma of lily into lard, and finally used the lard soaked lily to knead the noodles."

Wei Lianzhang nodded and said, "This is indeed a good way to extract the flavor of lily with lard, so that the flavor of lily can be integrated into the dough without affecting the crispness.

But there is a problem. Although lard soaking flowers can retain some of the flavor of lily, you have to fry them, and during the frying process, you will inevitably lose some of the flavor. How do you do it and retain so much flavor?"

Gao Dian was very impressed that this problem was only discovered later. He did not discover this problem at the beginning. The teacher had not taken action at all, and could discover this problem based on his own narrative.

Yes, the oil-soaking method does retain some of the flavor of lily, but this is limited, and when frying in a pan, this part of the fragrance will be lost.

In other words, what can be left behind in the end is very little flavor.

It smells very light, and it is almost impossible to smell it from a distance. Only when it is very close can you smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

This obviously does not conform to the concept of the Trinity of the Great Classic. He hopes that he can smell its fragrance, taste its taste, and appreciate its shape.

If the fragrance is very light and almost insulting, the Trinity will naturally not be discussed.

If you want to solve this problem, Gao Dian thought for a long time.

He thought that it is obviously impossible to reduce the volatility of lily flavor, as long as it is frying, there will inevitably be losses. Then, if it cannot reduce volatility, it can only increase the flavor so that it can retain enough flavor after it volatilizes.

For this reason, Gao Dian has thought of many ways.

He thought about increasing the amount of lily in lard, but the lard has a fragrance and is saturated. If it exceeds that level, it will never be kept.
