Hardcore Chef Dad

Luo Yu’s dessert really made the children very satisfied, and it was also an eye-opener for the parents.

At this time, Chen Xu was also busy in the back kitchen.

The dough for the Thousand Layer Oil Cake is ready, as are all the other ingredients.

What follows is another very challenging process.

That means rolling the dough into very thin dough.

Rolling out dough may not be a difficult task for many people.

However, the dough for Thousand Layer Oil Cake is almost 80% water. It is not easy to form such a thin dough into dough.

And if you want to roll it into dough, it is even more particular.

Because the dough is very soft, if the rolling pin is pressed too hard, the dough may become rigid and the steamed Thousand Layer Oil Cake will not be soft and fluffy.

Therefore, the process of rolling out the noodles is also a test of Master Bai An’s skill.

When rolling the dough, wrap the dough completely around the rolling pin, and then use the skill of your hands to roll the dough into a very thin dough without breaking it, and don't press it too hard.

It can be said that Chen Xu's process of rolling out the noodles does not seem to require much effort, but in fact he is covered in sweat.

Judging from his appearance, he even seemed to be working harder than before.

In fact, it is indeed more difficult than before.

Because when making dough, pouring water into the dough is more of a physical job.

But in the process of rolling out the dough, you need to use your hands all the time and use a kind of skill to make the dough become very obedient, like a tamed little animal, obediently turning into a piece of dough.

After completely rolling out the dough, first spread an even layer of lard and sugar.

The next step is to evenly sprinkle the pork suet marinated in white sugar on top.

After smoothing it out in this way, then fold it up.

Finally, layer a square piece of dough and put it into a steamer for steaming.

Chen Xu had been busy for so long and finally steamed the thousand-layer oil cake.

Everyone in the kitchen was also looking forward to his Thousand Layer Oil Cake.

Quan Jie was in the restaurant in front of him. He took a moment to sneak up to Shi Tao and said softly to Shi Tao, Did you see that? In the back kitchen, Chen Xu was making Thousand Layer Oil Cake. It was a snack that would test your skills. It was... It is known as the best in dim sum, and I am afraid that only Chen Xu can make it in the entire Huaicheng.

After hearing this, Shi Tao looked at the chef and couldn't help but whisper: I saw him beating that side constantly.

Quan Jie said: Yes, that is the special dough mixing process of Thousand Layer Oil Cake, because when mixing Thousand Layer Oil Cake, 80% of the water needs to be mixed in. It is difficult for ordinary people to even mix it into a dough.

Shi Tao was a little surprised and asked: What does 80% water mean?

Quan Jie explained: I've also heard that when mixing noodles with thousand-layer oil cake, at least eight taels of water should be mixed with a pound of noodles.

Shi Tao thought for a while and suddenly understood: So much water? Can we still form a ball?

Quan Jie nodded: That's right, most people don't get along at all, but this is also the skill of Master Bai An.

Just as Quan Jie and Shi Tao were whispering, a table of guests next to them heard them.

After listening to the two talking for a while, the guest couldn't help but ask: Is there anything special about making this thousand-layer oil cake?

Quan Jie and Shi Tao were shocked when they heard the guest's question.

Shi Tao quickly apologized to the guest: I'm sorry for disturbing your meal.

The guest smiled and said: It doesn't matter, go on, we really want to hear it.

Quan Jie went on to say: There is another difficulty in rolling out the Thousand Layer Oil Cake, that is, when rolling the dough, because the dough is very soft, so if you want to roll it into a thin dough, you cannot use force to roll it out, so the inside is also It requires a kind of skill that Master Bai An has developed over many years.

Quan Jie talked for a while, and Su Liancheng finally couldn't help but come over to remind him.

Okay, that's enough. Don't forget what you should do?

Awakened by Su Liancheng, Shi Tao hurriedly went to greet the guests.

Quan Jie was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly passed on the dishes.

However, although Quan Jie and Shi Tao had left, the guests in the restaurant were still full of curiosity about the Thousand Layer Oil Cake.

In fact, most people know this snack.

But in recent years in Huaicheng, there are basically no restaurants making this dim sum.

Fu Jing Lou used to make this dim sum in the past, but now Fu Jing Lou no longer has this dim sum.

Quan Jie is still very aware of this, because among the brothers brought here by his master, none of the brothers can make Thousand Layer Oil Cake.

Tonight, I saw someone cooking in Su Ji's kitchen, and stopped to give some explanations by Quan Jie.

It really made many customers curious and wanted to see the Thousand Layer Oil Cake, one of the “double desserts”.

Some customers directly asked the waiters in some restaurants.

Excuse me, can I order that thousand-layer oil cake?

When one customer asks, other customers will naturally follow suit.

Su Liancheng and the waiters did not expect that many customers in the restaurant soon asked about it. It seemed that everyone wanted to try Su Ji's Thousand Layer Oil Cake.

In desperation, Su Liancheng could only walk to the kitchen and ask Feng Yifan.

Chef, many customers have seen Chef Chen making Thousand-Flower Oil Cake. Everyone would like to ask, can they order a Thousand-Flower Oil Cake?

Feng Yifan glanced at Chen Xu and couldn't help but smile and said: Look, it's you who made such a big fuss and everyone heard it. Now everyone wants to order it. What should you do?

After Feng Yifan shouted, some customers in the restaurant also shouted loudly.

Chef Chen, we really want to order one to try.

Someone took the lead, and others naturally followed suit.

Yes, order us one.

I want to order one to try.

Really want to try it.

…

Seeing that everyone was expressing their opinions, Chen Xu could only say: Let's take this pot out and see how much there is. You may not be able to separate too many. If you can't separate, please don't blame me. It's true today I’m not prepared enough. I’ll do it for everyone when I’m ready later.”

After hearing this, everyone present naturally agreed.

Feng Yifan said with a smile: Okay, don't be anxious, everyone. Wait a minute. If there is a lot, you can order one for everyone. If it is not enough, please don't blame me. Our Chef Chen will prepare it later. , I will definitely let everyone try it.”

The guests in the restaurant also expressed their understanding.

After steaming, the originally flat noodles quickly expanded in the steamer.

When the cage was opened, a thousand-layer oil cake that expanded to a large size and divided into many layers appeared in the cage.

Shi Jiahui came over to take a look and said with a smile: It's great. It was a success.

Chen Xu also breathed a sigh of relief at this time: It's okay, I didn't embarrass my master.

Ning Cheng couldn't help but move over to take a look.

Wow, is this actually so big?

Shi Jiahui said with a smile: What's all the fuss about? Thousand-layer oil cakes are like this, just like steamed buns. They are small before they are put in, but after they are steamed, they expand and become very big. Thousand-layer oil cakes are like this. The layer of oil cake expands even more.

Chen Xu took it out from the cage and cut it on the chopping board.

All cut into small diamond-shaped pieces, they look very beautiful.

At this time, the aroma of steamed Thousand Layer Oil Cake was already wafting into the restaurant.

Many people smelled the aroma and couldn't help but ask if they could order it.

Feng Yifan went over to take a look personally, and then said to everyone: It's not a lot. I'm afraid everyone can only get a small piece.

When they heard that they could still get a small piece, all the guests immediately clamored for it.

Feng Yifan saw that everyone wanted to taste it very much.

He simply said: Since everyone wants to try it, let's have a piece each. You are lucky to be the guests this time.

One of the guests said, Chef Feng, are you going to serve it for free? We don't want it for free, we are willing to pay for it.

Other guests also agreed: Yes, we are willing to pay.

Hearing that everyone was willing to pay, Feng Yifan said with a smile: You don't have to pay tonight. If you were asked to pay, wouldn't the people queuing up outside also be clamoring to buy? There aren't that many tonight, what about the future? …”

When Feng Yifan said in the future, everyone suddenly looked forward to it.

But Feng Yifan finally said: What about the future? Let's supply it in limited quantities. It's really hard to make this thing, so it's limited every day. Please understand.

I heard that the supply is limited, and the guests on site were a little disappointed.

Because the supply is limited, with Su Ji's business, it may not be easy to buy it.

But if you think about it seriously, watching Chen Xu busy cooking in the kitchen tonight, the process is indeed quite strenuous, so if there is enough supply every day, it will indeed be too much for Master Bai An.

According to Feng Yifan's request, Chen Xu made some changes to the knife.

Just make each piece very small, just like a bite.

Of course, Feng Yifan still left three big pieces for his daughters.

Then, tonight's round of guests were lucky, and everyone got a piece of Thousand Layer Cake.

At this time, the Thousand-Layer Oil Cake is in the hands of the guests. It has just cooled down and is a little bit warm. This is the best temperature for eating Thousand-Layer Oil Cake.

Before eating it, some customers looked at it and felt that this thousand-layer oil cake was extraordinary.

If you look carefully from the side, it is indeed divided into many layers.

This is really a test of Master Bai An's skills.

While some guests were still amazed, some couldn't help but put it in their mouths to taste it.

In the mouth, it is soft, sweet, and elegant, but not overly sweet.

The fluffy oil cake does not feel greasy when you eat it.

On the contrary, when you eat it in your mouth, it feels softer and more delicious than eating delicious cakes.

Eating a small piece of it will really leave a lingering aroma on your lips and teeth, and then you will feel very disappointed, because such a mouthful is really too little.

At this time, in Lin's shop, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also tasted it.

However, the ones they received were relatively large, and the three little girls also found it very novel.

Yeah, is this a cake?

It looks like a cake.

It doesn't seem like a cake.

Su Jinrong smiled and explained to the children: This is called Thousand Layer Oil Cake. It is not a cake made of eggs, but an oil cake made of flour. It tastes very good. Please try it quickly.

Grandpa said it was delicious, and the three little girls couldn't wait to try it.

However, the three little girls did not eat it immediately, but shared it first.

This is for grandpa, and this is for grandparents.

This is for grandparents, and this is for dad.

This is for grandparents to eat.

The parents present were very pleased to see the little girls like this.

Su Jinrong also smiled and said: Oh, you three, just eat. Grandpa actually doesn't need to eat.

Naturally, the grandparents said they didn’t need to eat it.

But the three little girls were not happy and had to let their grandpa and grandparents eat together.

Eat together, let's all eat together.

That's right, let's eat together.

Well, let's eat together.

In the end, the three little girls insisted, and the grandfather and grandparents had to taste a small piece of the good thing.

After eating it, everyone still found this one of the best snacks to be delicious.

Feng Ruoruo even opened her mouth and said, Yeah, look, there's no more in my mouth. It just melted away.

Yang Xiaoxi said: Yes, it's delicious, sweet, and fragrant.

Chen Yaofei said: Well, it's so sweet and fragrant. It's delicious.

Su Jinrong ate it and said, Chen Xu is worthy of having learned from a dim sum master. His craftsmanship is truly amazing. I never expected that this Thousand Layer Oil Cake could be so good.

Chen Shoulin said: It's really delicious. What I've had in other places before is really not as delicious as this.

Yang Xiaoxi's grandfather said: It seems that there is a restaurant in Yangcheng that specializes in making this, but it tastes a bit greasy there, but this one is just right.

Feng Jiandong said: After all, he is the apprentice of a dim sum master, and he is indeed an expert in craftsmanship.

After the thousand-layer oil cake, Chen Xu made various Chinese snacks for the little girls.

For example, there are some such as peach blossom cakes, lotus cakes, and some pictographic buns, which also made the three little girls very happy to eat.

As for Luo Yu, she also showed her creativity and later served some snacks to the children.

This night, the three little girls Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei were really satisfied because they ate many snacks throughout the night.

When they finally couldn't eat anymore, the three little girls hurried to the kitchen to say something.

Don't do it. We are all full and can't eat anymore.

The three little girls shouted in unison, which was heard by everyone in the kitchen and even some people in the restaurant.

Then, Feng Yifan said with a smile: Okay, I understand, tonight's dim sum banquet is over.

At this time, when Chen Xu and Luo Yu heard the end, they felt not tired, but a little bit unfinished.
