Four hundred and fortieth chapters soup dumplings(1/2)
The second round of the group stage begins.
In the morning, it was Wei Qiaoyi's game, and in the afternoon it was Gaodian's game.
Like before, Gao Dian sat in the audience watching Wei Qiaoyi's game.
He didn't care much about Wei Qiaoyi, because according to Wei Qiaoyi's strength, there was no pressure to pass the group stage.
Among the 168 people, the number of people from the Gaodian area is actually the largest number.
There are also people in other areas, but the number of people is not that large.
Among the 168 people, dozens of them were special first-class pastry chefs.
In this competition, if we change the competition, we will not see so many special first-level pastry chefs.
Time passes slowly, and you must be much more cautious when the second round of the game.
Not as fast as the first round.
As noon approached, Wei Qiaoyi finally finished the dough and walked down with a relaxed expression.
He came to Gao Dian and said to Gao Dian: "Let's go."
Gao Dian stood up and responded: "Okay, let's go."
The two walked out of the arena, and Gao Dian asked: "You seem to be in a good mood today."
Wei Qiaoyi said: "That's for sure, I figured out some things."
Gao Dian nodded when he heard this, without asking more questions.
He had some guesses in his mind.
Wei Qiaoyi was brisk in steps, with a slight smile on her face and beautiful eyes.
After Du Dawei's guidance, she figured out some things.
She no longer struggles with any champions. She understands that she should focus on experience when she comes here.
It’s not that she can’t win the championship, but her current strength is still a little worse, and it’s too short to be a special-level noodle chef.
Compared with the old-fashioned special-level pastry chef, she is too immature now.
Of course, Wei Qiaoyi no longer has to worry about the championship, which does not mean that she does not try her best to compete.
She should do her best or not.
She wants to see how far she can go in this competition!
"By the way, do you think we should play in the capital after the game?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.
Gao Dian was a little moved.
The capital's name is well-known, especially some famous attractions located in the capital. You can often see it on TV, but Gaodian has never been to it.
Some people may wonder, I have never been to the capital once for such a large number?
But this is true for Gao Dian.
When I was a child, my family had no money, and when I grew up, I didn’t have much money. Now I have some savings and no longer so tight, but Gao Dian has no time.
This is his first time in the capital in this competition.
Since he was going to participate in this competition, Gao Dian did not go out to visit the attractions.
Now that Wei Qiaoyi suddenly mentioned it, Gao Dian was suddenly moved.
"But...we still have to participate in the competition!" Gao Dian hesitated a little.
Wei Qiaoyi smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go after the competition. It just so happens that I haven't been to the capital for a long time. Some attractions have been visited when I was a child, but I haven't been to it again after I grew up."
"After the competition... won't we go back?" Gao Dian asked.
"I'm going back, but it's okay to delay two days. Anyway, Yao Chu is here, so there won't be any problem with Dianxin Tower." Wei Qiaoyi said.
Gao Dian was immediately moved and said, "Okay, after the competition, we will go to the capital to visit the attractions."
Wei Qiaoyi nodded and replied, and the two made this agreement.
When they came outside, the two of them had a simple bite. After eating, Wei Qiaoyi and Gao Dian went back to their hotel room to rest for a while.
There are also high-class competitions in the afternoon, so it is best to be able to take a break and maintain a good spirit.
Time flies by, and it is time for the afternoon game.
As he walked into the arena, Gao Dian's mental state slowly gathered, and he entered the game state.
The ingredients belong to each one were sent and placed on Gaodian's chopping board.
As soon as the ingredients came up, Gao Dian began to process the ingredients, racing against time and did not dare to delay for a moment.
The pastry that Gaodian wants to cook today is a pastry called crab roe soup dumplings.
This is actually a kind of soup dumpling, but it is mainly crab roe, which is better than ordinary soup dumplings.
Because the ingredients are expensive.
Crabs are relatively expensive ingredients. Perhaps people on the beach can eat slightly cheaper ones, but in the inland, the price of crabs is very expensive.
Not to mention crab roe!
The crab roe that a crab can produce is extremely limited and cannot produce too much crab roe.
This also makes crab roe quite expensive.
Because of its expensive and rareness, crab roe has become a high-end ingredient.
Among many pastries, as long as you bring crab roe, you will feel that the pastries are instantly tall and over.
Among these pastries with crab roe, most of them actually use a little crab roe.
However, in the recipe left by Mr. Wei, the crab roe soup bun recorded requires a lot of crab roe.
Gaodian is more interested in filling soup dumplings.
He had taught himself before, but he learned online recipes and did not learn any secret recipes.
Gao Dian was extremely excited when he saw the recipe left by the teacher.
Because he was thinking about filling soup dumplings, he was finally able to learn a secret recipe.
Soon, reality gave him a heavy blow.
The ingredients for crab roe soup dumplings are too expensive!
Noodles need to be practiced. No matter how high your cooking skills are, it is impossible to make them just by looking at the recipes. It is not surprising that you can learn them by looking at the recipes, but it is not possible to make them by looking at them.
It is precisely because of this that although Gao Dian likes this pasta, he is not too good at it.
Because the ingredients are too expensive, he can't afford to practice.
Of course, he didn't have any practice at all. He still gritted his teeth and practiced many times. But compared to other pastries, the number of practices is very small.
The first thing to deal with in the crab roe soup bun is eight crabs.
These eight crabs need to be steamed first and then peeled out.
Just peeling crabs is extremely time-consuming.
Of course, if you know professional pastry chefs, it is a compulsory course to arrange your time reasonably.
During the time of steaming crabs, Gaodian begins to knead the noodles.
The outer skin of making soup dumplings is actually somewhat similar to making dumplings.
It is thinner than ordinary buns and needs to be carefully rolled out with a rolling pin.
The dough was set aside, and Gao Dian immediately began to make the soup.
This is also very particular. The soup should be made of hens for more than one year, plus ducks for more than one year, and the two should be stewed together.
The pig skin needs to be scraped off the fat meat and carefully scraped it clean, and it must not be left at all.
When the fat meat is boiled, oil will come out. The texture and texture of the crust made in this way are not good enough.
The pig skin needs to be chopped, and it is best to try to crush it. This way, the skin is frozen and the speed is faster.
The crabs are steamed.
At this time, Gao Dian took out the crab, placed it on the chopping board, and began to peel it.
According to the requirements of others eating crabs, eight types of crabs are needed, namely, eight tools: hammer, upset, clamp, shovel, spoon, fork, scraper, and needle.
Using these eight tools can make it more elegant to peel out crab meat.
Of course it is also very convenient, after all, this thing has a long history.
This is used when eating crabs. As a chef, Gaodian naturally doesn’t have to be so troublesome.
His method is much more rude!
Cut it with a knife and use a toothpick to dig it out!
This method cannot guarantee the integrity of crab meat and does not look elegant at all.
