Chapter 13: It's Easy to Get (Thanks to DE Hongchen for the 10,000-Coin Reward)

"A bowl of wontons and an omelette, gourmets, please try it!"

Shu Yu personally brought the wontons over, while Gu Zheng took out a small digital camera and took a few photos of the wonton bowl. He had already taken several photos before, including photos of the store and the door.

Food reviews must be accompanied by pictures and texts. Only text without pictures is not a qualified review. Only by pictures and texts, and food that makes people look comfortable can it attract more people. Gu Zheng knew that he would review Shu Yu’s shop today, so he specially brought it with him his camera.

After taking the photo, Gu Zheng sat upright, took out a bottle of water, and rinsed his mouth. The job of a food critic is not as easy as imagined. Since it is a review, you must be serious. You must calm down before eating, and avoid any unpleasant smell in your mouth. Remove it so that you can taste the real taste and make correct comments.

"The wontons are good. Yours is a large wonton, with thin skin and lots of fillings. It's just right in one bite. In terms of quality, it's above average!"

Fishing out a wonton with a spoon, Gu Zheng spoke slowly. If it were anyone else, he would not say this. He would only draft in his mind, which ones should be written and which ones should not be written, because Shu Yu and Hu Yueyue are both classmates. He just said a few more words.

"Big wontons, is it possible that there are also small wontons?" Hu Yueyue asked curiously.

"Of course, there are different sizes. Large wontons are more common in the south and have different names. For example, they are called Chaoshou in Sichuan Province, Qingtang or Wonton in Gansu Province, and some places call them Baomian and Bianshi. In the north, they are more unified, and in most places they are called dumplings. It’s called wontons, and most of them are little Chaos!”

The skin of small wontons is thinner and smaller. Use chopsticks to dip a little meat sauce into it and wrap it into a wonton. The appearance of small wontons is similar to that of large wontons, but the taste is different. The small wontons are lighter and the skin becomes chewy when sucked in the mouth. It is melted, usually paired with a bowl of chicken soup, and is very delicious to drink and eat.

Large wontons have thicker skin and can be cooked with noodles and can be filled with different fillings, so large wontons are more common in the market.

"As expected of a gourmet, he knows a lot!"

Hu Yueyue praised, Gu Zheng smiled, said nothing, put the wonton into his mouth, and tasted it slowly.

Wontons are somewhat similar to steamed buns and dumplings. When eating this kind of food, you need to taste the skin first, then the filling. The skin needs to be crispy and the gluten is very high. The fermentation requirements for pasta are very high. The fermentation time should be short or long, and too many ingredients should not be added. Water, the rubber band made in this way is crispy and strong, and tastes better when bitten with the filling.

The fermentation of the pasta is good. If Gu Zheng were to rate it, the skin of this wonton would be rated 70 points. The famous soup dumplings he ate in the Central Plains last time could only be rated 80 points.

That was half a year ago. Gu Zheng went there because of the reputation. Bianjing's No. 1 soup dumplings are famous throughout the country. They have thin skin and juicy meat. They are oily and very comfortable to eat. He finished the dumplings locally and chatted with the people inside. When I got up, I also learned an allusion.

Bianjing's No. 1 soup dumpling was praised by Taizu back then, and it was an indispensable staple food for entertaining important guests. According to legend, the heir who made dumplings in those days had a son and an apprentice. The apprentice was equivalent to an adopted son, and he was the same as him. surname.

The master who made steamed buns valued his disciples as much as his son. The palms and backs of his hands were full of meat. He wanted them to unite sincerely and not be separated like brothers, so he passed on his skills to them separately. His son learned to make skins. The apprentice learns to be a trap, which means to let the son take care of the outside world and the apprentice to take care of the inside.

After the old master passed away, his son and his apprentice eventually had a falling out and separated.

The son inherited the old master's shop and ran the No. 1 soup dumpling shop. The apprentice went out and opened another shop named after his surname. Gu Zheng eats in the shop his son inherited. His son learns how to make soup dumplings. Pi Guzheng only gave eighty points for the steamed buns he produced, but Shu Yu's seventy points was indeed a lot.

However, the reason why it is eighty percent is that the old master's son did not make it himself. If the old master or his son made the buns himself, the skin would definitely be more than this.

After taking a bite of the skin, Gu Zheng went to bite the filling.

Shu Yu served Gu Zheng the common minced meat stuffing with chives, commonly known as pork stuffing. After Gu Zheng took a bite, he nodded silently.

"The fine meat is paired with Zhangqiu scallions, and Fujian soy sauce is used. Unfortunately, a little too much chicken essence is used. The taste will be better if the amount of chicken essence is less!"

After finishing a wonton, Gu Zheng spoke slowly, while Shu Yu's eyes widened.

She bought the recipe at a high price, and of course she knows best what is used. What Gu Zheng said is not bad at all, Zhangqiu scallions, Fujian soy sauce, and there are some other things Gu Zheng didn't say, but it's scary to be able to tell them. .

How could anyone else tell where the green onions in the wontons came from and where the soy sauce came from without knowing?

"Sure, you're a great talent from ancient times, you have real skills, you can do this?"

Hu Yueyue was also full of surprise. She didn't know what was in the stuffing, but she could read people's faces. Just by looking at Shu Yu's expression, she knew that Gu Zheng was absolutely right and everything was right.

Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head, slowly drinking the soup.

Since you want to write a review, you should write it all. You can eat a few wontons less, and eat the soup while it is still hot. The soup of the wontons is also very important, as it can increase the flavor of the wontons and supplement nutrition.

The soup is chicken bone soup, which is a bit ordinary, which makes Gu Zheng a little regretful.

"Gu Zheng, how do you like this omelette?"

Along with the wontons, there is a whole piece of fried egg, with golden buttery color. It is very ordinary in appearance. Gu Zheng has learned the skill of Tiexian fried eggs. Although he has not yet practiced it, just looking at this You can tell by the appearance of the fried eggs. The eggs fried by Tiexian are completely round, white and yellow, without leaving any trace of oil, and they look like paintings.

The oil on the omelette affected Gu Zheng's appetite to some extent, so he didn't taste it just now. When Shu Yu reminded him, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the omelette.

The omelette was a little cold, which was a failure. Food such as omelette must be eaten while it's hot. Cooling it has a great impact on the taste.

"Huh!"

After taking a bite, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly and he made a soft sound in his mouth. The omelette was indeed cold and had a slight fishy smell, but the taste was not bad at all. It was crisp and sweet, and he bit into it. The egg white seems to be clear and fills the mouth.

The egg white is very crisp. It can be chewed into pieces in a few times and swallowed into the stomach. It also has a slight coolness, which makes people very comfortable.

"Although these eggs are averagely fried, they taste good. Why is this?"

Gu Zheng put down the remaining omelette first, raised his head and asked, he had eaten a lot of omelette, and now he has learned the best omelette cooking skills. It can be said that he knows omelette very well, even so , this omelette still gave him a feeling of surprise.

"Finally there's something you don't know!"

Shu Yu smiled proudly, looking very proud, and continued: "Look at the price list, there are two types of omelette here, one is two pieces, and the other is five pieces, both of which can be fried by one person. Yes, but they use different ingredients. The two-piece ones are ordinary eggs, and the five-piece ones are special eggs that someone sent me. I only paid more than three yuan for these eggs, so I have to sell them for five yuan!"

"Yes, I didn't understand it at first. After eating both kinds of omelettes, I realized that you really get what you pay for!"

Hu Yueyue was also helping, while Gu Zheng stood up and walked to the kitchen. As he walked, he said, "Do you still have these five-piece eggs? Can you bring one to me?"

"Yes, there are many more. Just leave them there. Take a look!"

Shu Yu pointed to Gu Zheng. The people in the kitchen did not stop Gu Zheng. He walked directly into the back kitchen and picked up an egg that Shu Yu mentioned.

"Eggs, inferior ingredients!"

Holding the egg, Gu Zheng's eyes kept flashing with various lights. He searched for two days and searched many breeding bases around but could not find inferior eggs. He actually met them here. He really fulfilled those words. 'You can't find it even after wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.'
