Chapter 4. Mouth-worthy gluten
Making gluten looks simple, but it is not easy in fact.
Gao Dian looked at the gluten he made and thought to himself and ate it all in oil.
Although the gluten is not strong enough, it cannot be wasted, and it just happened to be eaten as lunch.
In fact, the fried gluten made by Gaodian is still good. This is not the credit of gluten, but the credit of the seasoning. Even though the taste is not very good, the taste is not much different, but the deliciousness is very different.
Just like it is both spicy, some are spicy and delicious, while others are spicy but difficult to swallow.
After eating the gluten I made with tears in my eyes, Gaodian regrouped and prepared to make the next batch of gluten.
Of course, he didn't plan to start rashly.
Since his first failure, Gao Dian has been thinking about the reasons for his failure. However, he knew nothing about this. Each step was made according to the tutorial. He felt that every step was correct, but the problem was that the finished product he made was extremely failed.
So, he couldn't find the reason for the failure.
This does not mean that Gao Dian has no failure. It can be said that he has failed everywhere, so there seems to be no special failure.
After reading the tutorial again, Gao Dian still had no confidence in taking action.
Waste materials are second to the point, and the most important thing is that his move again is no different from before.
Could it be that the tutorial went wrong?
Gao Dian thought in his mind.
So he started searching online, and there were many tutorials on how to make gluten online, well... and many advertisements, such as those selling gluten machines.
The integrated gluten machine introduced above only paused Gaodian and quickly opened it.
It’s not that he thinks handmade ones are better, but that the integrated gluten machine is too expensive and he can’t afford it.
Overall, the tutorial on making gluten is similar, and there is no essential difference from the process of making it.
Since there is no difference in the tutorial, the explanation method is correct.
Now is the Internet era, and there are all kinds of questions you ask online. You can think of questions that you cannot think of, and basically anyone has asked them online.
Gao Dian thinks that the same should be true for failure in making gluten. Someone must have asked before. Perhaps the netizens’ answers can inspire him.
Gaodian searched online: Why is homemade gluten not tough enough?
Many search results soon appeared.
Gao Dian looked at each one.
There are all things mentioned above, such as too much starch residue, and the most common ones are the problem of kneading.
Gao Dian felt like he was suddenly enlightened.
The kneading is the foundation of the foundation. It seems simple, but it is the most difficult step.
Gao Dian is not without knowledge. He has grown up so much and has been influenced by his eyes.
Harmony requires skill.
At first, he didn't pay attention to this point, but just felt that he was good at it, so he didn't think about it in this regard.
Now when I recall carefully, I seem to be just holding the dough and rubbing it randomly. I have no skills, it all depends on my strength.
If the foundation is not laid well, the future will naturally not be well.
Gao Dian realized that he had found the reason, so he searched for teaching videos of knots online. After watching several of them, he felt confident and prepared to try it.
Drinking noodles is a very particular thing. The reason why ordinary ingredients such as flour can be turned into various delicacies is because of the difference between dough.
For example, the bun skin and dumpling skin are made of flour, but the two are very different. The bun skin should be steamed and soft, while the dumpling skin should be cooked and firm.
When adding water and flour, the ratio of flour and water is very important. Adding different proportions of water and flour to the flour is also of different uses.
Gao Dian strictly follows the teaching video to add water, and it is almost like taking a measuring cup and a scale.
The harmonic surface pays attention to the direction of the same direction. At the beginning, it is in which direction it is in. It doesn’t matter whether it is counterclockwise or clockwise. The most important thing is to keep it unchanged.
Because in one direction, the tendons in the flour can be better bonded together, so that the surfaces that are mixed can meet a basic standard.
In addition, kneading is also a physical job. Without good arm strength, it is not easy to make good kneading.
After the dough was mixed, Gao Dian placed it in a basin to wake up the dough.
The next step is the same as before, and after waking up, you will wash your face.
This time, Gao Dian was afraid of the excess starch left, so he washed it seven times.
I was busy until the evening before Gao Dian made a second portion of gluten.
When the gluten was made, a line of words appeared in his eyes again.
"The mixing is extremely poor, the heat is lacking, the production method is rough, and the gluten is quite poor."
Gao Dian was a little surprised. This time he had more evaluations than before!
Moreover, the evaluation is much better. It was extremely poor at the beginning, but now it has become quite poor, which is a progress.
Sure enough, after cooking Gaodian, I tasted it, and the gluten was still very soft, but it was much better than the first time. Gaodian could still taste this.
The gluten was very poor, but it did not discourage Gao Dian like this for the first time, but instead made him a little excited.
Because he was working hard to find the right direction.
What made him even happier was that his plug-in evaluation pointed out three shortcomings. As long as he worked hard to solve the problem in these three directions, he must be able to make gluten with an excellent sense of export.
It's too late tonight, and it's going to continue tomorrow!
…………
Time flies, Gao Dian studies how to make gluten at home, but does not set up a stall.
Gao Dian did not appear for several days. For customers who are not familiar with him, there are less Gao Dian’s baked gluten, and other people’s baked gluten to eat.
But for those who are familiar with Gaodian, it seems that there is always a little less. The baked gluten from other families is also pretty good, but the taste is always not as good as Gaodian.
There were two men sitting at the same table in a hot pot restaurant. If Gao Dian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize them. These two men were the ones who made him lose business.
It was also the one who forced him to make his own gluten at home.
"Brother, thanks to you, we can squeeze that kid away. Now our business has improved a lot. Come on, I'll give you a cup."
"Haha, brother, you're polite. It's that young boy who wants to compete with us for business, he's very young! I'm just a little trick, so he doesn't even dare to come."
"Isn't it because you have a strong relationship with me, you can actually find out that the kid often buys gluten workshops and asks the workshop owner to help us."
"Haha, it's all a little bit. I happened to help the boss, and thanks to me, you can find out that the kid bought gluten there."
"Hehe, he didn't deliberately hide it, it's still easy to find it."
The two compliments each other.
Suddenly, a man said strangely: "Brother, I actually don't understand. There are more than that one sells gluten, so why didn't he come?"
He felt a little uneasy, and it would be too easy to squeeze out Gao Dian.
"I don't know either. Maybe I've gone somewhere else, but that has nothing to do with us, drink and drink!"
"Brother said, drink!"
…………
At this moment, Gao Dian looked at the comments in front of him.
“Gluten that is ok!”
Gaodian cooking tasting is a bit worse than the gluten he bought, but the difference is not big, so it is completely enough to sell it as gluten.
He punched hard and it was done!
Chapter completed!
