Chapter 571 Tao Su
Zheng Da didn't expect that he had never meddle in his own business in these years. It was a rare occasion when he wanted to meddle in his own family's affairs.
Seeing Jiang Feng looking at him with confusion, Zheng Da smiled at him and said there was nothing going on here. It wasn't until he saw Jiang Feng lowering his head to continue the work at hand that Zheng Da turned to look at Ji Xia.
Ji Xia was looking at Zheng Da with an unhappy expression, his eyes and facial expressions fully showing that he was dissatisfied with Zheng Da at the moment.
Ji Xia thought about it carefully. She was kneading the dough very well just now, but Zheng Da suddenly jumped out and criticized her. He not only said that she was not good, but also said that her master was not good. This made Ji Xia very happy.
Jiang Feng bought her salted crispy chicken yesterday. Although she only let her eat half the bag and the other half was eaten by Jiang Feng himself, she also ate half of the bag of salted crispy chicken.
Since Ji Xia has no money in his pocket, let alone the salted crispy chicken, he can't even afford the roasted sweet potatoes at the entrance of the community.
Ji Xia stared at Zheng Da with a keen look on her face. She felt that the person in front of her was the keyboard warrior that Ji Yue mentioned. Although Ji Xia had never met a keyboard warrior and didn't know what a keyboard warrior was, she felt that he was probably like this.
Ji Xia's current mobile phone play is still at the primary stage of playing single-player elimination games and watching TV with video software. Not only does he not know how to play online games, he doesn't even know how to use the cloud disk correctly. There is still a long way to go before she can learn to play online games such as Glory of So-and-so and engage in passionate exchanges with netizens online.
Zheng Da was also a little embarrassed.
He could see that Ji Xia was dissatisfied with him now and he could understand it, but he just wanted to say it, but it was difficult to say it.
As a former detective master who has been in business for many years but still maintains a good level of criminal investigation, Zheng Da can see that Ji Xia is a wild man when it comes to criminal investigation, and no one can teach him to think blindly.
But it is rare and valuable that Ye Luzi has such a foundation and level. Logically speaking, Jiang Feng is Ji Xia's master. As Jiang Feng's newly recognized master, he shouldn't push him casually, but now he just wants to push him.
The kind that makes you feel uncomfortable if you don't force the words out of your mouth.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Zheng Da smiled like a trafficker.
Ji Xia:?
"Don't be nervous. I am your master's uncle. In terms of seniority, you should call me uncle. If you don't believe it, you can ask your master now. I didn't mean any harm just now. Even your uncle, I am also a chef. "As a dessert maker, I saw that you had a slight flaw when you made the watery skin, so I couldn't help but tell you." Zheng Da said with a smile.
Hearing Zheng Da say that he was his elder or uncle, Ji Xia's expression softened a little and put away his hostility.
"My name is Ji Xia, Xia Xia. Then...then what do you think is wrong with what I did?" Ji Xia was still a little unconvinced. She felt that what she did was pretty good, at least better than what Jiang Feng showed her that day.
"That's a lot of questions." Zheng Da said.
Ji Xia:?
"Ji Xia, my uncle is here to test you. Do you know what water-oil skin is used for?"
Ji Xia was asked this question on the spot, which involved a blind spot in her knowledge.
"Cook it and eat it?" The oily skin Ji Xia made at this stage all went into Dahua's belly.
Zheng Da:? ? ?
What's going on with Jiang Feng? It's okay for a chef from Red Case to teach his disciple Bai An. Why is he still teaching like this?
This is too much!
Zheng Da reprimanded Jiang Feng in his heart, and explained to Ji Xia with a smile: "Most pastries are made with water-oil skin, such as lotus root cake, apple cake, egg yolk cake, peach cake. Water-oil skin It can be used for baking and frying, and is ideal for making thin-crust and filling pastries. ”
"But this does not mean that all water-oil crusts are made in the same way. Depending on the pastries we make, the ingredients for the water-oil crusts they require are also different in the production process. You just said that you want to make fresh meat. Moon cake, but when you were making it, you obviously added less water." Zheng Da said.
Ji Xia nodded in understanding.
Although Zheng Da has never taught apprentices, and he doesn't like to teach apprentices, because teaching apprentices does not make money, he has taught his son. Looking at Ji Xia's appearance, he knew that she didn't listen at all. Zheng Da was not angry, because he knew that it was useless for a chef to teach his disciples just by talking. If he didn't get started, he would make it himself and show it to the disciples. .
"Want to eat fresh meat mooncakes?" Zheng Da asked.
Ji Xia shook her head. She didn't want to eat fresh meat mooncakes, she wanted to eat fried chicken steak.
Zheng Da:……
Your uncooperative behavior makes it difficult for your uncle and I to continue the plot.
"Then what do you want to eat?" Zheng Da asked.
Ji Xia thought for a while: "I want to eat something sweet."
"How about peach cake?"
"What is Taosu?" Ji Xia looked confused.
"You haven't eaten peach cakes before?" Zheng Da was surprised. In his impression, peach cakes were a very common snack. How could Ji Xia, who was studying Bai An, not have eaten this common Chinese snack.
"My master doesn't let me eat snacks." Ji Xia said. She thought peach cakes were some kind of puffed food like potato chips, but she didn't notice it in the convenience store. "My sister doesn't let me eat snacks either."
Zheng Da could only look at Jiang Feng with an even more condemning look. He asked his apprentice to learn from Bai An and not even let him eat traditional Chinese cakes. Is this something that the master can do? These days, there are very few Bai An chefs, and even fewer people are willing to learn Bai An. Finally, a good young man taught him this way, and Zheng Da was really heartbroken.
If his son taught his disciples like this, he would have to beat him to death!
Of course, now he also wants to beat his son to death if his son keeps refusing to find a girlfriend.
"How about my uncle making peach cakes for you? I will teach you how to make peach cakes with oily skin." Zheng Da suggested.
Ji Xia naturally agreed. She had something to eat and didn't have to work. Zheng Da occupied her place where she kneaded the dough, so she couldn't practice even if she wanted to.
Ji Xia stood aside obediently and watched Zheng Da kneading the dough.
Peach cake is a well-known role in Su's pastry. It has been famous throughout the country for many years for its characteristics of dry, crispy, crispy and sweet. Since it is a sweet, it naturally requires a lot of sugar when kneading the dough.
Since Zheng Da wanted to make peach cakes, he naturally had to make a batch. Flour, butter and sugar were poured on the cooking table as if they were free.
"Ji Xia has seen it clearly. When adding ghee, you need to stir it while adding it. Only when it is evenly mixed can you start kneading." Zheng Da explained while doing it, while Ji Xia stared at it without blinking.
Although she didn't want to admit it, the level of this uncle who suddenly appeared seemed to be a little better than the master, and seemed to be a little better than the great uncle.
Peach cake is less difficult to make than Su's mooncakes, and the steps are much simpler. There is no need for filling, you just need to divide the kneaded dough into small pieces, shape it into a cake shape, brush it with egg wash, sprinkle some sesame seeds, and finally bake it in a baking pan.
It's simple, cheap and delicious. The most important thing is that it doesn't need to be eaten while hot and is easy to carry. When Zheng Siyuan was still opening a pastry shop in Suzhou, the best-selling one was peach cake.
Because the steps are simple, Zheng Da did it very quickly, and he soon reached the step of brushing the egg wash. While Zheng Da was brushing the egg wash, he asked Ji Xia to see clearly how to brush the egg wash correctly and evenly, so that the baked peach cake would look good in color and smell fragrant when it comes out of the oven.
"Actually, the black sesame seeds are sprinkled or not, and there is no change in the final taste. It just tastes better if it is sprinkled, and it looks better and less monotonous. It is mainly used for decoration." Zheng Dadao.
"Uncle, I like to eat black sesame seeds. Can you sprinkle some more?" Ji Xia said expectantly.
In just a few dozen minutes, her attitude towards Zheng Da had changed from distant and wary to accepting and kind, and she felt that he was an elder worthy of admiration. Because even if the peach cake he made hasn't been baked in the oven yet, just by looking at it now, I know it will be delicious.
"Okay, uncle, I'll give you a little more. Is that enough?" Zheng Da said with a smile.
"That's enough, thank you, uncle!"
After finishing the matters at hand, Jiang Feng was about to check how Ji Xia Shuiyoupi was doing:...
What did he just hear?
Why is Zheng Da working now, while Ji Xia is lazing around and blowing rainbow farts? (End of chapter)
