I rely on the food variety show to become popular on the Internet

[No, forty days, did I read it wrong? 】

[Did Gu Bai make a typo, I remember that the salted eggs in my house were not ready in more than a week]

【Why is yours so fast? Mine takes about [-] days】

[My house seems to be a bit slower here, it takes about 30 days, but forty days is too long, I thought the salted duck eggs made by Gu Bai would take a shorter time]

[Gu Bai said that it would take at least forty days, wouldn’t it mean waiting for it to be marinated over there, then buy it and then send it over, it’s going to be Chinese New Year]

[The time is too long, I can't bear it]

For a while, the comment area was full of mourners, and forty days was too long for them. Gu Bai also knew that this time was quite long, but it was necessary if he wanted to marinate salted duck eggs with acceptable taste.

If the time is short, the flavor will not be sufficient.

Gu Bai explained in the comment section, in fact, even if Gu Bai didn’t say anything, fans also know that sometimes delicious food needs time to brew, and the time is short, but there will be no such taste. It’s just that the time they expected was too short, and suddenly they knew The real time is somewhat uncomfortable.

The news of Gu Bai quickly spread among fans and diners, everyone was very disappointed, but fortunately Gu Bai also said the exact time, think about waiting for forty days to harvest salted duck eggs, especially It was Gu Bai who, in order to comfort the fans, also specifically explained that the salted duck eggs are made in a larger portion, so if you want to buy them at that time, you can buy more.

With such a comfort, the mood of the netizens also calmed down a bit. After all, the people who have really eaten the salted duck eggs made by Gu Bai are still a minority among the netizens, and most of them are locals in Linzhang City. It's powerful, but those who haven't eaten it, even if there are previous examples, it's easier to hold back.

It’s just that the poor diners who have eaten salted duck eggs before find themselves wanting to relive the salted duck eggs and have to wait forty days.

Even Wang Xiuquan was a little shocked when he saw the news, because the time was indeed quite long, and he remembered that the salted duck eggs that Gu Bai had marinated before should not have been so long, so he couldn't help calling to ask.

The salted duck eggs that Gu Bai himself marinated really don't take long, about 20 days or so can be successful, because the method he uses is not mud-based marinating, but using liquid marinating, so the time is shorter.

It’s just that the marinating of the material liquid requires stronger control ability, and although the mud base takes a long time, it will not cause any major problems and be more stable.

Of course, another reason is that the pickling of the material liquid costs more money. Although it is not bad for money, it should not be wasted randomly.

Gu Bai looked at the comments, and decided to marinate the salted duck eggs again, so that the diners can be more or less satisfied in the middle, so that the life will be better, but considering the current public opinion, Gu Bai did not say in advance, and the plan is to make it a surprise.

Netizens were disappointed, but a group of people breathed a sigh of relief, that is, those merchants who sell salted duck eggs online. Their salted duck eggs are selling well now, but when Gu Bai’s salted duck eggs come out, they may not be selling well. .

So we have to clear the inventory as much as possible now, otherwise when the salted duck eggs produced by Gu Bai are on the market, they can't sell them here, and the goods are backlogged, and they will suffer a big loss.

And those shopkeepers who make salted duck eggs according to the method of taking care of the white ones are all nervous, but they are not too nervous, they are just thinking about how to improve their skills. After all, Gu Bai's move is equivalent to putting Diners' expectations have been raised a notch.

Although the salted duck eggs produced by Gu Bai are definitely not as delicious as his own, but if the gap between the salted duck eggs produced by them and Gu Bai is too large, it will be more difficult to have the current business.

The stall owners who originally thought that their salted duck eggs had been marinated very well and did not need to improve, soon lost some of their previous complacency and became nervous again.

Fortunately, Gu Bai's salted duck eggs will take forty days to be produced, which also gave them a breathing space, at least forty days, but also allows them to think about what to do?

Gu Bai didn't know the various influences caused by the release of his news, he just lay leisurely on the bed unwilling to move.

It’s just that he has to get up even if he doesn’t want to move, Gu Bai listened to the cries of the ducks outside, covered his ears, and secretly made up his mind that when he got rid of the lotus root, he got rid of the duck too.

For the two local specialty ducks that Gu Bai brought back, the Gu family was looking forward to it. Gu Bai said in the family group that the quality of the ducks was good, and the taste was also very good.

The two ducks were raised in the yard, and they were eating the leaves fed by the Gu family. They were eating with gusto, but unfortunately there was no water in the yard. Although there was a small water pool next to it, it was not appropriate to put the ducks in. .

After getting up, Gu Bai looked at the two ducks eager to rush into the water, and sighed. The two ducks probably missed their life in the water too much. Gu Bai immediately decided that he would come when the lotus root was almost processed. Let the two ducks return to the west.

Gu Bai had to make lotus root noodles, and the workload was not small. After learning about Gu Bai's movements, Wang Xiuquan asked Gu Bai if he wanted help. How could Gu Bai refuse? , then there is no need to expect breakfast to be served tomorrow, and it will have to be delayed for another day.

Besides, the production process of lotus root powder is not too difficult for Gu Bai, but the process will be more difficult.

The first step in making lotus root powder is to wash the lotus root, peel it, and chop it. It’s okay to say that the more lotus root you have, the harder it is to cut it.

After Gu Chen knew that Gu Bai was going to make lotus root powder, he was a little worried when he saw the pile of lotus root. Fortunately, Wang Xiuquan quickly found someone to help. This time, Gu Bai's task load was reduced a lot.

At this time, Gu Bai was thankful that the workspace that Gu Chen had prepared for him was big enough. When he bought it before, he thought it was a bit big and a waste of money, but now he felt that it was because the workspace was big enough that he was so busy. Get up, otherwise you will have to find another place to make lotus root noodles now.

Several people stood in front of the chopping board and removed the lotus root joints. This step looks simple, but it is also very important, because if the lotus joints are not cut properly, the lotus root will be wasted if the lotus joints are cut too much. , that is to reduce the quality of lotus root starch.

Fortunately, the people Wang Xiuquan recruited for Gu Bai were very obedient and had good eyesight. As long as Gu Bai asked them to cut as far as he wanted, they could do it.

As for the job of chopping lotus root, you don’t need to test your knife skills too much. Basically, you can cut it to a similar size. It’s mainly a test of physical strength. Fortunately, several people work together. It’s a bit tiring, but it won’t be overwhelmed. live.

When they were cutting the lotus root, Gu Bai saw that part of the lotus root had been cut out, so he started the beater and began to grind the diced lotus root. It is not impossible to mash the lotus root with a stone mortar, but it is time-consuming and laborious, and the slurry produced by an electric machine is more difficult. Delicate and saves time.

The prepared lotus root pulp is put into a special cloth bag and rinsed continuously with clean water, that is, the starch in the lotus root is continuously washed out, and the washed slurry flows into the large basin under the cloth bag.

The starch in the lotus root pulp is washed out until the clear water flowing down is clear. There is no way to find tools to replace this step, and it can only be done manually, which is very tiring.

After the hundreds of catties of lotus root have been rinsed and settled, all the people present are sweating, and the impurities and water on the lotus root pulp are removed. The next step is to filter. This step is very important, and the quality of the filter is determined. Improve the taste and quality of lotus root powder.

At this step, what Gu Bai took out was still a special mesh cloth. This cloth was bought by Gu Bai from the system mall. Although it is okay to buy it from other places, it is too troublesome. This small thing is not easy to provoke people. Doubtful, Gu Bai simply bought it at the system mall.

After filtering the sediment for three times, the filtered lotus root pulp was finally poured into the large vat on the side. This is also a vat borrowed from Yuchun Building. Gu Bai can buy it. The problem is that he doesn’t need so many vats. It is too wasteful to make lotus root noodles after buying them once.

Regarding Gu Bai's frugality, everyone subconsciously felt that Gu Bai was like this because of the influence of his previous life. They were not wrong in thinking, but there was a link in the middle that was wrong.

After this step, it will take at least twelve hours for the lotus root pulp to settle before the lotus root powder can sink to the bottom.

Gu Bai looked at the lotus root noodles that were almost finished, and shook his hands unconsciously. Today's labor force is really heavy, and he originally thought about being a duck today, forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.

Not only this matter, even Gu Bai had to delay the resumption of dinner in Yuchunlou for a day, after all, his current hand kneading the dough is probably making his hands worse.

Gu Yu originally thought that there were a few people helping, and Gu Bai shouldn't be too tired, especially since he went to see it at noon, and it didn't feel like it was too hard. Then when he saw Gu Bai coming back, his hands trembled slightly.

Still wondering, when he touched Gu Bai's arm, the other party's reaction became even bigger, almost flicking his hand away.

This somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar reaction made Gu Yu think of something, grabbed Gu Bai's hand and rubbed it, the calm on Gu Bai's face could not be maintained, and he grinned.

What else is there to say now? Gu Yu couldn't help but want to say a few words to Gu Bai. He found out that Gu Bai had a problem. He wanted to do everything well in one go. He thought that he could rest after doing it in one go. The problem was that Gu Bai There are a lot of things around me. I rushed to finish it today, and soon came a new job. After many calculations, not only did I not have a good rest, but I was even more tired.

"Yuchunlou...don't worry about it these few days, rest more." Gu Yu said with a straight face. He originally wanted to tell Gu Bai to give up breakfast at Yuchunlou. It's okay to get up early in summer. The weather is getting colder and getting up early is too much trouble.

It's just that he didn't say anything, and he felt that he couldn't make decisions for Gu Bai like this, so he could only let Gu Bai rest for a few days.

Gu Bai thought for a while and nodded. He really wanted to rest for a few days. He underestimated the difficulty of making lotus root flour. When the lotus root flour was settled, he had to hurry to dry it while the weather was good recently.

The drying of lotus root starch requires Gu Bai to use a knife to cut the lotus root powder into slices that are as thin as a cicada's wings and uniform in thickness, so that the dried lotus root powder can control the moisture and reach the state of breaking at the touch of a touch.

This step can only be done by Gu Bai himself, and no one can help him. After thinking about the workload, Gu Bai silently gave himself a few more days off. This is really a good rest.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai called Wang Xiuquan to inform him. Wang Xiuquan knew about Gu Bai's situation from the people who went there, and he had already guessed it.

Now, he was just a little worried about the reaction of the diners.
