Chapter 960 Ingenuity Is Hidden in the Details

What Yuan Zhou accomplished in this first step was the aroma that the diners and onlookers outside the door smelled, the aroma of pork jelly.

Wu Hai was standing at the door. If the people behind him hadn't stopped him, he would have jumped in and eaten all the food.

The sleeping beast in my heart woke up.

Yes, Yuan Zhou had already opened the door at this time. After all, breakfast time was coming soon, so it was time to open the door.

Yuanzhou has already become quite immune to the crowd surrounding the door.

At this time, Yuan Zhou began to knead the dough, but the technique must be the same as before. After all, Yuan Zhou is now an intermediate pastry master, and his kneading skills have naturally become more sophisticated.

Chinese cooking is extremely complicated. There are seventeen methods of kneading dough, which are much more complicated than today's machines.

And this does not include the pastry method. As the saying goes, "pastry forms a film and pasta forms gluten", you can see that there is a big difference between the two.

"steaming!"

The dough fell on the chopping board, indicating that Yuan Zhou had entered the noodle dumping stage.

In the unofficial history, there is a record of a man called Mian Dian Xu. He kneads and kneads the dough with his fingers, and wraps it around his fingers three times to produce castanopsis. He can eat them while they are hot and soft, and wrap them around the teeth without leaving them. Sticky to the teeth, because it is oatmeal noodles, sweet and hot, one bite at a time, very delicious.

You can also take a dip in the hot mutton soup. The broth soaks the castanopsis, and then you eat it. Needless to say, the taste is great.

Getting back to the subject, the reason why Yuan Zhou knows so clearly is because Yuan Zhou knows twenty-three methods of kneading dough, one of which is the technique of kneading dough.

As an intermediate pastry master, he still has a lot of useful information, but unfortunately, 栲栳 is the pastry of Shanxi Province.

Yuan Zhou's skills are very good, but most of the people's eyes are turned to a new guy in Yuan Zhou's kitchen. From the outside, it looks like a bamboo basket made of strips, and the workmanship is more exquisite than usual.

It was hung on the roof with a hemp rope as thick as a bottle cap. It was about fifteen to twenty centimeters high from the stove below. It was quite big. Although I only looked at it from the door, I could guess that it had a household floor-standing electric fan. sector size.

"What it is?"

"Boss Yuan is going to play a new trick again. Shameless, you are so close. Take a closer look to see what it is."

"Although I don't know what's in that bamboo basket, I can tell that today's new breakfast is Dan Dan Noodles, and what I just made is Dan Dan Noodles."

"Nonsense, I can see it too."

Everyone was curious about the new gadgets hanging in the kitchen. The most important thing was that someone discovered that the hooks used to hang the bamboo baskets were from the roof. They must not have been there before. Some diners even affirmed that they were not there last night.

It can be guessed that Yuan Zhou made this hook overnight after the tavern closed its business hours last night. Think about it again, why he had to make it overnight, it must be related to today's new breakfast.

Therefore, everyone became even more curious and asked Wu Hai, who was at the front, to take a look.

The Black Sea Pirate looked at it with a stern look, but he saw something.

"There seems to be a pot inside the bamboo basket?" Wu Hai was not sure: "It should be, it's still steaming, and there's a dark bottom exposed underneath."

After what Wu Hai said, everyone took a second look and it was confirmed that the bamboo hanging basket did not completely cover the pot, but exposed the round black bottom of the pot, but no one noticed it just now.

Hanging a pot in a bamboo basket?

"What is this pot for?" a diner asked.

"The one who cooks dandan noodles." Some diners replied subconsciously.

"Nonsense, I just want to know why dandan noodles are cooked this way and why they are different from other noodles."

This sentence expressed the doubts of all the diners present. Almost all the locals present had eaten dandan noodles, but they had never seen this hanging pot before.

The so-called reputation and prestige can be reflected at this time. If an ordinary merchant does this, there will definitely be diners who think it is a trick.

But when Yuan Zhou did this, no one would have such an idea, and they would all wonder why he did this.

Among the crowd, only Zhou Shijie had a different expression.

He was confused at first when he heard this, but later he seemed to understand why Yuan Zhou did this.

"Yuan Zhou, this kid, is still as serious as ever. He never misses an opportunity to make the food taste better." Zhou Shijie murmured to himself.

"Dad, do you know anything?" Zhou Xi asked curiously.

"Yes, President Zhou, please tell me what's going on."

Everyone's ears were perked up, ready to listen to Zhou Shijie's explanation.

"Do you know the origin of Dan Dan Noodles?" Zhou Shijie asked first.

Everyone shook their heads. If this kind of food was not specially checked, who would care about its origins? It just tastes good.

Zhou Shijie didn't give in, and said directly: "Dandan noodles were invented by an ancestor named Chen Baobao. In the early years, he would carry a load and then sell it to dock workers."

"One end is a briquette stove with a pot, and the other end is bowls, chopsticks, seasonings and noodles. They are picked up on the street and are called Dandan noodles or Dandan noodles in the streets, hence the name."

Zhou Shijie's explanation was very accurate, and the diners queuing up at the scene also heard that it was the case, but what does this have to do with Yuanzhou hanging pot?

"You guys are really incredibly stupid. At that time, due to the era and material environment, we could only use briquette stoves. The temperature of the briquette stoves was not high enough, so air blast was often needed."

There is no doubt that the person who can express this tone is Li Yanyi. This guy appeared out of nowhere.

"Yuan Zhou's method is to hang the pot high and see that there is nothing under the pot. It is obvious that he wants to take out the outer flame, so that the temperature is higher than that of the briquette stove. Although the flame is not so stable, I think Xiao Yuan has solved this problem. There is a way." Li Yan said.

The diners who had stable flames didn't pay attention to it, they just paid attention to Li Yanyi's previous words.

"Does the quality of cooking have anything to do with flames?" a diner asked in an obvious layman's terms.

"Have you never eaten wood-fired turkey? If flames have no effect on cooking, why do you need firewood to cook? Just use natural gas." Li Yan said: "This Yuanzhou really worked hard to make the food delicious, even the flames This aspect has been considered.”

"It's just that it's a waste to make it for you ignorant people. You don't know anything." Li Yan pursed his lips.

That's right, he wasn't targeting one person, but everyone in line.

There are ten major cancers in Yuanzhou's shop, but there are also ten major miracles. One of the miracles is why Li Yanyi and Wu Hai haven't been beaten to death yet.

The other regulars were used to Li Yanyi's venomous tongue, but Zhou Xi was not a regular and stood up when he heard such remarks.

"What you said is wrong." Zhou Xidao: "Although I don't know who you are or how knowledgeable you are, you are not qualified to deny all of us."

"Although we diners don't understand many things and don't understand why Boss Yuan has such an arrangement, we can also feel Boss Yuan's seriousness about food and his pursuit of ingenuity." Zhou Xi's logic is very smooth: "The most important thing is The best thing is that we can eat delicious food, which is why we are willing to queue up.”

The two started fighting, but Li Yanyi never lost when it came to fighting people...
