Zheng Ye and Gu Bai finished discussing the matter of cooperation, because the Chinese New Year is approaching now, and the time for cooperation is temporarily set in the next year. After all, if this matter is to be worked out, the workload will definitely not be small, and it will be too much during the Chinese New Year. Tortured myself.
But have a good year, cultivate and prepare, and go all out after the year.
Gu Bai also agreed with this suggestion. He was very busy in the past six months of last year, that is, he has just relaxed a little recently, but not too much, and it would be good to come back after the new year.
But when it comes to work after the year, Gu Bai still has something to tell Wang Xiuquan, which has something to do with his complicated breakfast.
Gu Bai has also paid attention to the news of going to Yuchunlou for breakfast these days. Maybe it’s the Chinese New Year, and there are more tourists in Linzhang City, and there are more children at home, so that the time for queuing in Yuchunlou in the morning is too long. Constantly moving forward.
Because the number of breakfasts is fixed, and the number of people is constantly increasing, in order to be able to buy breakfast, it is necessary to keep queuing ahead of time, because there will always be people who will not be able to keep up.
But the time to get up early is a bit too early. Gu Bai felt that this was against his purpose of selling breakfast. He cooperated with Yuchun Building for breakfast at the time. One was to earn some points, and the other was because diners expressed their desire to eat. Just find a place that serves food.
The reason why he didn't open a store by himself was also because of the constraints of the previous situation. It would be a lot more tiring for him to open a store, but it would be much easier for him to cooperate with Yuchunlou.
It's just that now, this kind of sickly early waking up makes Gu Bai feel that it's not good to go on like this. Although there will always be people who can't get up at a certain time, Gu Bai is worried that it will eventually turn into a situation of queuing up a day earlier.
Not to mention that this is impossible, when the diners of Yuchun Building broke through the four o'clock line to line up, Gu Bai also thought that it would not be possible to come so early just to have breakfast.
As a result, the facts were in front of us, and it was hard to believe it or not.
For Gu Bai's decision, Wang Xiuquan was actually prepared, because the diners came a bit too early, and the diners are so sought after, it is indeed very useful for the chef, but the psychological pressure is also great.
"Then what do you think about the future?" Wang Xiuquan asked.
In fact, he can understand that Gu Bai gave up the breakfast cooperation, but he was afraid that Gu Bai would give up being a chef and start a factory instead. With Gu Bai's ability, the taste of the food produced would definitely not be bad, but with Gu Bai There is still a big gap between doing it yourself.
With Gu Bai's strength, it would be a pity to give up.
In terms of his thoughts, Wang Xiuquan really asked Gu Bai. He didn't have any special thoughts for the time being. After all, after the new year, Gu Bai's main energy would be on medicinal food. It will take two months to end, by the time it is over, half of spring will be over.
This time is also a good time to go out, the weather is suitable and everything is flourishing, Gu Bai thinks that he will probably choose to travel.
Might have to watch it again when I get back from the trip.
"Haven't thought it through yet." Gu Bai shook his head.
Gu Bai has already said that, Wang Xiuquan has nothing to say, I just hope that Gu Bai will think about it, but if Gu Bai doesn't want to, he won't persuade him too much, after all, this is also Gu Bai's own business, it cannot be said that he is talented Just have to let him do something.
Gu Chen and the others didn't think too much, but after knowing that Gu Bai didn't have to provide breakfast for Yuchunlou, they were very relieved, and now Gu Bai had more time to rest.
As for Qingming, it is not a burden for Gu Bai, it can be done in a few hours, it can also be regarded as Gu Bai's usual physical exercise, it really saves no work at all, Gu Bai is idle and bored.
They asked Gu Bai to be idle, but after two days of idleness, Gu Bai felt that he was not so used to it. Before he was idle, he seemed to miss having a leisurely life, but after being idle for a long time, he felt a little bit less the emptiness.
Gu Bai couldn't help discussing this topic with Li Yanchuan, Li Yanchuan could understand, Gu Bai was a person who couldn't be idle, otherwise, how could he be so busy in the past six months, if a person wants to be lazy, he can do it anytime.
However, Gu Bai really yearns for freedom and doesn't like to be restrained. For Gu Bai, restaurants that are open in the morning, noon and evening are too restrictive, and they are not free, even if it is a restaurant he owns, he is not free.
Li Yanchuan still remembers the few times Gu Bai went out to ask for leave with diners, and it was so troublesome just for breakfast. If Gu Bai opened the shop by himself, he would have no freedom at all.
"Then what do you want?" Li Yanchuan asked.
Gu Bai pondered for a moment, and thought of Grandpa Gu's situation. Grandpa Gu's cooking skills are very good, and he has many apprentices.
In Gu Bai's impression, when Grandpa Gu doesn't want to be busy, he studies food at home, and when he wants to work, he goes to work in restaurants and small restaurants for a while, randomly picks an apprentice to help, and sometimes meets culinary talents. Those who are not bad can still be their temporary masters.
It can be said that the life is rich and leisure, and it can satisfy the ambition of career.
To be honest, Gu Bai also thought about such a life. If he is not in charge of a store by himself, the pressure is relatively small, and because he is not the main person in charge, he can leave whenever he wants to. He does not need to think too much every day, as long as he thinks well How to cook just fine.
Gu Bai's careerism is actually not strong, it may be because he grew up with the old man, he has a natural and easy-going taste, but he is a bit restless.
It’s just that Gu Bai wanted to live a life like this, and got stuck at the first level. He doesn’t have so many apprentices, so naturally there is no way he can’t go to such a restaurant.
Ordinary restaurants are unlikely to agree to his request.
"What's the difficulty, can you tell me about it?" Li Yanchuan said.
Gu Bai hesitated for a moment, but he still expressed his thoughts, but he didn't say the reason, after all, it was a matter of the last world.
Gu Bai didn't expect Li Yanchuan to give him any advice, he just wanted to tell his true thoughts, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to hold back in his heart, who knew that Li Yanchuan asked him instead after hearing him: "Then do you have this idea? Talk to Master Wang?"
Gu Bai shook his head, he just came out from Wang Xiuquan's side, how could he have the nerve to say that, he felt a bit overreaching.
Li Yanchuan suggested to ask Gu Bai to talk to Master Wang, maybe there will be surprises.
Li Yanchuan doesn't really know anything about the chef industry, but he is very aware of Gu Bai's status in the hearts of some chefs. Let's not talk about it if the country is too big. At least his status in the hearts of chefs in Linzhang City should not be low. Other chefs It may be an exaggeration to be his apprentice, but those chefs basically regard him as a respected senior.
Perhaps judging from Gu Bai's age, the seniors seem to be a bit against the norm, but judging from Gu Bai's cooking skills, it's just right, and no one can be Gu Bai's elder.
Seeing what Li Yanchuan said was so sure, Gu Bai thought about it, called Wang Xiuquan, and expressed his thoughts just now. At first, he thought Wang Xiuquan would hesitate a little bit, but in the end, Wang Xiuquan directly wanted to make an appointment with Gu Bai. The quota for him to work in a restaurant for the first time next year.
"If I work like this, the time is not stable. Sometimes it is morning, sometimes it may be noon, and sometimes it may be evening. It is not even easy to say how long I will work in a month. Are you really sure?" Gu Bai said by himself Everyone blushed a little, he said this as work, more like entertaining himself.
But he had to say it out, and there was no point in hiding it. When he really started working, it would be exposed sooner or later.
Wang Xiuquan doesn't care about this at all, what is this, it's natural to be talented and self-willed.
Besides, what is Gu Bai missing?
Speaking of training cooking skills, in fact, letting Gu Bai go to work in a hotel is not enough to train him at all. People can’t study cooking skills at home. poor this...
After all the calculations, Gu Bai's ability to come out to work is for the benefit of others, and it's not normal for people to want to work freely.
According to Wang Xiuquan's idea of taking care of Bai, he told the other chefs about this matter. He actually hoped that there would be fewer restaurants competing with him. Who knew that none of the other chefs refused after hearing this, and they all expressed their disapproval. Gu Bai is welcome to work with them.
Even after learning that Wang Xiuquan had negotiated with Gu Bai in advance and grabbed the first spot, they hated Wang Xiuquan so much.
Of course, when Gu Bai came to work in their hotel, they definitely couldn’t pay him the salary of an ordinary chef. After all, Gu Bai himself is a gold-lettered signboard. They can see clearly how many guests they have attracted.
A good breakfast business may have little influence on the restaurant's revenue. If it is changed to Chinese food or dinner, and diners come to eat, it is impossible to only eat Gu Bai's dish, so they must order a few other dishes to go with it. , the profit in this is not small.
For this reason, the chefs in Linzhang City decided to set Gu Bai's salary according to the hotel's daily income after discussion.
Gu Bai didn't expect that they would offer such a salary, and he couldn't refuse it even if he wanted to, because the chefs who proposed the salary price said that if Gu Bai refused, then they could only reluctantly let Gu Bai come to work with them.
Because in their view, this is already taking advantage of Gu Bai.
Where did Gu Bai talk to a group of people by himself, so he could only agree, but the chefs felt that they took advantage of Gu Bai, but Gu Bai also felt that he took advantage of them, so he wanted to give more advice in his spare time Let's talk about the chefs, and the two sides are even.
Time passed quickly, and it was New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Gu family stayed at home, even though the house had already been cleaned by the housekeeper, but on New Year's Eve, the Gu family still cleaned it up a little, making it more holiday-like.
Originally, Gu Bai planned to cook today's dishes by himself, so it would be good to let Gu Chen and the others help out. Who knows that Gu Chen and the others all said that they have learned the method of new dishes, so they must show Gu Bai today. Let Gu Bai have a taste of their craftsmanship.
Ever since Gu Bai's anorexia healed, the three of them had this idea. They couldn't eat Gu Bai before, but now they can eat it. Naturally, they want Gu Bai to try their handicrafts.
However, in order to avoid the taste of what they cooked, all three of them chose to learn from a chef. In fact, the most suitable teacher is Gu Bai. Gu Bai's teaching reputation is very good, but they cook for Gu Bai. If Gu Bai knows how to make them again, it won’t taste that way, besides, can they make something better than Gu Bai’s?
That must not be possible.
Giving Gu Bai the food made in this way is a bit like giving Gu Bai a defective product.
Don't care if Gu Bai knows the other dishes they learned, before Gu Bai cooks them, they all assume that Gu Bai can't, that's how confident they are.
Under the guidance of a teacher, the three of them practiced many times at no expense of time and cost. As long as they are not culinary geniuses, they can basically do a decent job.
Now is a good time for them to show Gu Bai.
Gu Chen, Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu all glanced at each other, they both lived together, who would not know each other's movements, even Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu both hired the same teacher.
They are all moving, so Gu Bai can't stay still at all, anyway, there are enough dishes to eat during the Chinese New Year, so it's okay to cook a little more.
After thinking about it, Gu Bai decided to make a fish. This fish was improved from the five-spice ginger vinegar fish. After all, this fish is delicious, but the taste is still a little bland, because Gu Bai prefers spicy food. He decided to put some chilli in it.
When Gu Bai decided to improve it, he knew that it would not be easy to change, because this dish itself is full of sweetness and aroma, while the spicy taste is a bit too exciting, it is difficult to improve, let alone the level of this ginger vinegar fish It is still at sss level, this is the first time for Gu Bai to improve the menu of this difficulty.
And the change really made Gu Bai crazy, he was going to be stunned, and even made him think of retreating, or just buy an SS-level spicy fish, which is too much trouble for himself .
But in the end, Gu Bai still persevered, and without caring about the original medicinal effect of this medicinal diet, he managed to add some spicy flavor to it.
Because the freshness and sweetness of the fish itself cannot be covered, the spicy taste is not particularly heavy, but very pure spicy, which is soaked in the fish and complements each other.
In the eyes of others, Gu Bai dare not say, but in his heart, the taste of this fish is more in line with his appetite than before.
In addition, there is another dish of white-cut chicken. If you have fish, you must have chicken. The taste of white-cut chicken is very good, and four people eat one chicken and almost finish it.
As for the others, Gu Bai is going to make another fried spring roll, this spring roll is also Gu Bai's favorite dish during the Chinese New Year, it can be regarded as a memory of his Chinese New Year.
During Chinese New Year, Grandpa Gu fried spring rolls on the side of the pot, and he stood beside him and ate one after another. The spring rolls tasted very good, fragrant and crispy, and the fillings inside were fresh, soft and juicy.
The last thing is a dumpling, which is eaten as a staple food in the evening. After all, there are quite a lot of dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner. Gu Bai thinks that if you cook and eat, it is easy to leave over, so it is better to make a dumpling.
Gu Bai was in charge of four dishes, plus Gu Chen and the others each had two dishes, adding up to exactly ten dishes, and the four of them didn't know if they could finish it all in one sitting.
Although the Gu family only had two stoves, fortunately, Jiang Xiu's house was next to it. Although the kitchen was not used much, the utensils in the kitchen were still usable, and now the four of them had their own places.
Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu went to Jiang Xiu's kitchen, while Gu Chen and Gu Bai worked in Gu's kitchen.
But it's not afternoon yet, so Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu still don't have to go to cook so early, after all, the cooking time of the dishes they chose is relatively short, and it will be cold at night when they are ready now.
Just thinking of going there to cook in the afternoon, the two of them thought about it, and went over to clean up and prepare everything, so as to avoid messing up again when they hurriedly started in the afternoon.
Now is not the time to study in the classroom. Even if you mess up, you can start over. If they mess up here, time waits for no one. Gu Bai can’t do everything well. They’ve just started here. Let Gu Bai wait for them.
That would be too embarrassing.
When Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu passed by, Gu Bai had already started, because almost three of the four dishes he was going to cook could be prepared in advance.
Gu Bai cooks the white-cut chicken first. After all, the white-cut chicken is more time-consuming to make, and the white-cut chicken can be kept for a while, so it is also suitable for eating cold. Although it is cold outside this winter, the heating is sufficient at home, and it is still a bit hot.
As for the fish, Gu Bai left it behind to cook, and he started making spring rolls and dumplings first.
There are two key points in the production of spring rolls, one is the production of the spring roll skin, and the other is the production of the spring roll filling. As for frying in the pan, this is the basic thing.
It is best to make the spring roll skin thin enough, so that the spring roll skin can be fried crispy and delicious.
It's pretty easy to buy from outside, but it's a bit difficult to do it yourself.
Gu Bai scooped a few cups of flour, then poured an appropriate amount of water into it, and stirred the flour and water evenly to form a thick batter. This step mainly depends on people's judgment on the water absorption of the flour, because different flours have different water absorption.
At this point, it is best to be able to grasp the batter with your hands. When the palm is facing down, the batter can still be grasped by your hands without sliding down. If it is too thin, it cannot be used to make spring roll skins.
If it is too thick, it will be a bit difficult to operate, but it is okay for Gu Bai, or he needs a thicker one, because the thicker the batter, the thinner the spring roll skin will be, and the taste will be better.
After the batter has been stirred, Gu Bai continues to add an appropriate amount of table salt. Adding salt can increase the toughness of the batter, and then add some vegetable oil. Wait two hours.
Taking advantage of the time after this, Gu Bai turned around and started making dumpling wrappers. The dumpling wrappers are much thicker than the spring roll wrappers, and the method is a bit different, but the previous steps of kneading the dough are similar, except that the dough is mixed. The time should be shorter, about 10 minutes would be fine.
This speed is faster than spring roll skins.
When the dough is ready, Gu Bai kneads the dough into long strips, then cuts it into small pieces, and uses a rolling pin to roll out the dumpling wrappers that are thin on the sides and thick in the middle.
Gu Bai originally planned to roll out a few fewer dumplings. After all, there are so many dishes to eat at night. If you make too many dumplings, you may not be able to finish them. But just thinking about it, Gu Bai suddenly thought of something. They prepared the dishes for the night. Yes, but what about noon?
There seems to be no arrangement at noon?
When Gu Bai realized this, he was a little stunned, because he really had no idea. In his impression, the New Year's Eve dinner is always very rich, but the meal at noon on New Year's Eve really has too little impression. up.
It seems to be just eating and watching.
Gu Bai asked Gu Chen: "Brother, what do we have for lunch? Should we go out to eat or eat at home?"
Gu Chen was looking at his notes nervously. In the cooking class, Gu Chen actually did a good job, but when he got home, Gu Chen felt a little nervous. He had no choice but to look at himself more. Take notes and recall what you did before.
When Gu Chen was working in the company, he was able to handle all kinds of complicated business situations with ease, but when it came to cooking, he always felt that he had forgotten something, and he needed to read his notes quickly to recall.
It would be great if this was an illusion, but unfortunately after looking at the notes, Gu Chen found that his feeling was not an illusion, he really forgot a lot, don't forget it seems to be small details, but the details determine success or failure.
It was the first time that Gu Chen was so nervous, and he felt like returning to the examination room, but the problem was that he had good academic performance since he was a child, and he was not as nervous as he is now in the examination room.
So much so that when Gu Bai asked him, Gu Chen didn't react immediately, but waited for Gu Bai to ask him again before he came back to his senses.
"Is there anything else at home?" Gu Chen didn't really want to go out to eat during the Chinese New Year. Besides, they would come back after two o'clock after going out for a meal, so the time was a bit too tight.
There are a lot of dishes at home, but the problem is that they are basically used for dinner. When they discussed the dishes, they didn't think about what to eat at noon. Gu Bai didn't think about it because he was used to it in the previous world. Care, just eat something to fool your mouth.
Gu Bai couldn't understand, why Gu Chen and the others didn't react.
Faced with Gu Bai's doubts, Gu Chen was a little embarrassed. He also thought according to Gu Bai's thinking. Gu Bai didn't mention Chinese food, so he forgot. , basically go out for a meal with Gu Yu, or ask the chef to cook a meal at home, and then eat a little hastily and finish the job.
I usually live very well, so it doesn't seem that there is anything special about the New Year.
This year can be regarded as the most New Year's that Gu Chen has lived, and it has brought him a strong New Year's flavor before it even started.
"Then why don't you make dumplings to eat?" Gu Bai said, the dumpling wrappers are ready, you only need to choose a filling to make dumplings, if it's just spring rolls, it's too late, because the spring roll wrappers take a relatively long time to make long.
"In addition to soup dumplings, they can also be made into fried dumplings." Gu Bai continued.
Gu Chen directly agreed, but there are still two people in this family. Gu Chen yelled directly to the opposite side. He knew that Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu were in the kitchen, and the other party heard him when he yelled.
Regarding Gu Bai's suggestion, there is no way the two of them would disagree.
Since the four of them are willing to eat dumplings at home, Gu Bai put this matter aside and continued making dumplings.
Gu Bai prepared several fillings for the dumplings, pure meat, pork and cabbage, chives, three delicacies...
Anyway, to make fillings, I bought a lot of ingredients. I was worried that if I bought too much, I would not be able to finish it. Now that I have dumplings for lunch, Gu Bai can feel at ease. These ingredients are basically run out.
When making meat stuffing, Gu Bai chose to chop it with a knife instead of using a cooking machine. The reason is very simple, the stuffing made with a knife has a better taste, but the meat made with a cooking machine is not as good. up.
The filling itself is not too much, and it doesn't take much time to chop it.
After seasoning the minced meat, Gu Bai added some broth to the minced meat. He made this broth in Yuchunlou. The reason why he didn’t make it at home was because he didn’t use much broth at home. It’s really boiled at home. It is estimated that more than half of the soup will be wasted, so Gu Bai went to Yuchunlou to cook it.
Let the chefs of Yuchun Building use up the rest, so as to save wastage.
The meat stuffing can be chopped with a knife, while the vegetarian stuffing Gu Bai uses a knife to chop, because once the vegetarian vegetables are processed by chopping, a lot of nutrients in the vegetables will be lost, but cutting is much better.
If it's just one kind of filling, it's not too troublesome to prepare it, but Gu Bai greedily wants to eat dumplings with different flavors, so naturally it takes a little more work, each portion of the filling is prepared, and then put into a small bowl , Gu Bai didn't make any mark.
It's not that he doesn't want to make it, but that there are too many types. When the fillings are wrapped in the dumpling wrappers, except for some dumplings with more obvious characteristics, such as those filled with leeks, you can faintly see a little green through the dumpling wrappers. When they are taken out of the pot together, unless you eat it, you don't know what it tastes like.
If you have to distinguish, you can cook dumplings of one flavor in one pot, but that would be too much trouble, anyway, Gu Bai asked his family members about the fillings for the dumplings, so everyone can eat them, so just cook them in one pot.
There is a little surprise when eating dumplings like this.
For the dumplings at noon, Gu Bai thought about it, but he still didn't put the small gold coins that he had prepared in advance, so he should wait until the evening.
He eats fewer dumplings at night, so he can eat them quickly when he puts them away.
The dumpling wrappers and fillings were ready, Gu Chen grabbed Gu Bai, and instead of letting him do it first, he called Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu to come over and make dumplings together.
Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu had almost finished their preparations next door, and they hurried back when they heard Gu Chen's voice.
The family wanted to make dumplings, so Gu Bai simply took the dumpling wrappers and fillings to the table outside, saving himself from doing things in the kitchen.
After all, although the Gu family's kitchen is large, it is still a bit crowded when four people squeeze together.
It's just that Gu Chen and the others excitedly wanted to make dumplings, but once they made them, they were dumbfounded, as if they were not made very well.
Look at the dumplings made by Gu Bai, they are all white and fat, with exquisite and beautiful patterns, and the dumplings are not cute, but the ones made by them are either fat and ugly, or a little skinny, which makes people suspect that after cooking, the insides are really delicious. Will there be fillings?
Is this eating dumplings, or dumpling wrappers?
This question is worth pondering.
Jiang Xiu looked at the skinny dumpling in her hand, and struggled to tear apart the dumpling skin. Fortunately, she didn't use too much force when she pinched it just now, and the dumpling skin still fell apart.
Jiang Xiu looked at the fillings that Gu Bai picked, then looked at the ones he picked, and added some more, then looked at the dumpling wrapper in Gu Bai's hand, and added some more, this time, added more.
Jiang Xiu was like this, but Gu Yu and Gu Chen were not much better. Gu Bai sighed helplessly, put down his work, went back to the kitchen and brought three spoons, and each of them shared one.
"You guys use this spoon to scoop out the fillings, one spoonful is almost enough fillings for a dumpling." Gu Bai said.
Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully scooped a spoonful of fillings into the dumpling wrapper, and now the wrapped dumplings look more pleasing to the eye.
Although the patterns are not as good as the dumplings made by Gu Bai, they are still considered normal. Then put the dumplings aside for Gu Bai to check, so as not to find that the skin is not squeezed tightly and the fillings are all boiled after the dumplings are put into the water. out of the accident.
Fortunately, most of the dumplings don't have this problem, and a small number of Gu Bai can be squeezed a little bit.
They wrapped all the dumpling wrappers rolled out by Gu Bai in one go. Gu Chen and the three of them were still a little bit unsatisfied. Although it was a bit difficult at the beginning, they gradually became proficient, and the more they wrapped, the more powerful they became. It is cooking, but it seems to be playing.
The dumplings were all wrapped, Gu Bai checked the time, it was almost time for lunch, so he started to make.
There is no difficulty in making dumplings. Just wait until the water boils and put it in boiling water to cook. After the water boils, add cold water for three times in a row. When the dumplings float, you can add seasonings and take them out of the pot.
The method of frying dumplings is a little more complicated.
Gu Bai poured an appropriate amount of oil into the frying pan, and then heated it up. When the oil temperature rose a little, he put the dumplings in neatly. Oil alone would definitely not make the dumplings cooked. After this step, Gu Bai Pour some water into it again, the water height is almost just below half of the dumplings, then cover the lid and turn on the fire.
When the water in the pot boiled, Gu Bai changed the heat to medium and waited for the water in the pot to boil dry before continuing to add water to suffocate it.
This time, after the water is boiled dry, there is no need to add more water, because the bottom of the dumplings is already dry and brittle, and it looks a little burnt yellow, so the fried dumplings are ready.
If you want it to be more fragrant, you can drizzle a little sesame oil on it, the aroma will be more intense, but Gu Bai gave up, the aroma of this dumpling is already very strong, adding some sesame oil would still make it a bit greasy.
Gu Bai finally mixed a vinegar sauce, and everything was ready.
One bowl of soup dumplings per person, plus a large plate of fried dumplings, and a plate of vinegar sauce, when put on the table, it didn't look so rich, or it looked a bit more shabby than usual.
But none of the people present cared about this, but they all looked at the dumplings in front of them with great interest.
This is the first time for Gu Yu and Gu Chen to make dumplings, and Jiang Xiu, although she also made dumplings when she was in Jiang's house, she hasn't made dumplings for many years after leaving Jiang's house. Looking at these dumplings, she feels very kind, Feel the novelty.
Gu Chen recognized the dumplings made by himself at a glance. The dumplings in the bowl may not be obvious, but the fried dumplings are neatly arranged, and it is quite difficult not to recognize them.
Gu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the dumplings he made seemed to look a lot better after being fried like this, and each one was white, yellow, fat, cute and tight.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else moved their chopsticks, Gu Chen quickly picked up a dumpling made by himself and put it on the small plate in front of Gu Bai: "Ah Bai, try it, I made it."
Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu immediately realized that they regretted it. They wanted Gu Bai to try their own cooking first, but now, although the dumpling skin and fillings are all made by Gu Bai himself, they still count as one-third of the dumpling. Maybe I made it myself, but Gu Chen took the lead.
But have a good year, cultivate and prepare, and go all out after the year.
Gu Bai also agreed with this suggestion. He was very busy in the past six months of last year, that is, he has just relaxed a little recently, but not too much, and it would be good to come back after the new year.
But when it comes to work after the year, Gu Bai still has something to tell Wang Xiuquan, which has something to do with his complicated breakfast.
Gu Bai has also paid attention to the news of going to Yuchunlou for breakfast these days. Maybe it’s the Chinese New Year, and there are more tourists in Linzhang City, and there are more children at home, so that the time for queuing in Yuchunlou in the morning is too long. Constantly moving forward.
Because the number of breakfasts is fixed, and the number of people is constantly increasing, in order to be able to buy breakfast, it is necessary to keep queuing ahead of time, because there will always be people who will not be able to keep up.
But the time to get up early is a bit too early. Gu Bai felt that this was against his purpose of selling breakfast. He cooperated with Yuchun Building for breakfast at the time. One was to earn some points, and the other was because diners expressed their desire to eat. Just find a place that serves food.
The reason why he didn't open a store by himself was also because of the constraints of the previous situation. It would be a lot more tiring for him to open a store, but it would be much easier for him to cooperate with Yuchunlou.
It's just that now, this kind of sickly early waking up makes Gu Bai feel that it's not good to go on like this. Although there will always be people who can't get up at a certain time, Gu Bai is worried that it will eventually turn into a situation of queuing up a day earlier.
Not to mention that this is impossible, when the diners of Yuchun Building broke through the four o'clock line to line up, Gu Bai also thought that it would not be possible to come so early just to have breakfast.
As a result, the facts were in front of us, and it was hard to believe it or not.
For Gu Bai's decision, Wang Xiuquan was actually prepared, because the diners came a bit too early, and the diners are so sought after, it is indeed very useful for the chef, but the psychological pressure is also great.
"Then what do you think about the future?" Wang Xiuquan asked.
In fact, he can understand that Gu Bai gave up the breakfast cooperation, but he was afraid that Gu Bai would give up being a chef and start a factory instead. With Gu Bai's ability, the taste of the food produced would definitely not be bad, but with Gu Bai There is still a big gap between doing it yourself.
With Gu Bai's strength, it would be a pity to give up.
In terms of his thoughts, Wang Xiuquan really asked Gu Bai. He didn't have any special thoughts for the time being. After all, after the new year, Gu Bai's main energy would be on medicinal food. It will take two months to end, by the time it is over, half of spring will be over.
This time is also a good time to go out, the weather is suitable and everything is flourishing, Gu Bai thinks that he will probably choose to travel.
Might have to watch it again when I get back from the trip.
"Haven't thought it through yet." Gu Bai shook his head.
Gu Bai has already said that, Wang Xiuquan has nothing to say, I just hope that Gu Bai will think about it, but if Gu Bai doesn't want to, he won't persuade him too much, after all, this is also Gu Bai's own business, it cannot be said that he is talented Just have to let him do something.
Gu Chen and the others didn't think too much, but after knowing that Gu Bai didn't have to provide breakfast for Yuchunlou, they were very relieved, and now Gu Bai had more time to rest.
As for Qingming, it is not a burden for Gu Bai, it can be done in a few hours, it can also be regarded as Gu Bai's usual physical exercise, it really saves no work at all, Gu Bai is idle and bored.
They asked Gu Bai to be idle, but after two days of idleness, Gu Bai felt that he was not so used to it. Before he was idle, he seemed to miss having a leisurely life, but after being idle for a long time, he felt a little bit less the emptiness.
Gu Bai couldn't help discussing this topic with Li Yanchuan, Li Yanchuan could understand, Gu Bai was a person who couldn't be idle, otherwise, how could he be so busy in the past six months, if a person wants to be lazy, he can do it anytime.
However, Gu Bai really yearns for freedom and doesn't like to be restrained. For Gu Bai, restaurants that are open in the morning, noon and evening are too restrictive, and they are not free, even if it is a restaurant he owns, he is not free.
Li Yanchuan still remembers the few times Gu Bai went out to ask for leave with diners, and it was so troublesome just for breakfast. If Gu Bai opened the shop by himself, he would have no freedom at all.
"Then what do you want?" Li Yanchuan asked.
Gu Bai pondered for a moment, and thought of Grandpa Gu's situation. Grandpa Gu's cooking skills are very good, and he has many apprentices.
In Gu Bai's impression, when Grandpa Gu doesn't want to be busy, he studies food at home, and when he wants to work, he goes to work in restaurants and small restaurants for a while, randomly picks an apprentice to help, and sometimes meets culinary talents. Those who are not bad can still be their temporary masters.
It can be said that the life is rich and leisure, and it can satisfy the ambition of career.
To be honest, Gu Bai also thought about such a life. If he is not in charge of a store by himself, the pressure is relatively small, and because he is not the main person in charge, he can leave whenever he wants to. He does not need to think too much every day, as long as he thinks well How to cook just fine.
Gu Bai's careerism is actually not strong, it may be because he grew up with the old man, he has a natural and easy-going taste, but he is a bit restless.
It’s just that Gu Bai wanted to live a life like this, and got stuck at the first level. He doesn’t have so many apprentices, so naturally there is no way he can’t go to such a restaurant.
Ordinary restaurants are unlikely to agree to his request.
"What's the difficulty, can you tell me about it?" Li Yanchuan said.
Gu Bai hesitated for a moment, but he still expressed his thoughts, but he didn't say the reason, after all, it was a matter of the last world.
Gu Bai didn't expect Li Yanchuan to give him any advice, he just wanted to tell his true thoughts, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to hold back in his heart, who knew that Li Yanchuan asked him instead after hearing him: "Then do you have this idea? Talk to Master Wang?"
Gu Bai shook his head, he just came out from Wang Xiuquan's side, how could he have the nerve to say that, he felt a bit overreaching.
Li Yanchuan suggested to ask Gu Bai to talk to Master Wang, maybe there will be surprises.
Li Yanchuan doesn't really know anything about the chef industry, but he is very aware of Gu Bai's status in the hearts of some chefs. Let's not talk about it if the country is too big. At least his status in the hearts of chefs in Linzhang City should not be low. Other chefs It may be an exaggeration to be his apprentice, but those chefs basically regard him as a respected senior.
Perhaps judging from Gu Bai's age, the seniors seem to be a bit against the norm, but judging from Gu Bai's cooking skills, it's just right, and no one can be Gu Bai's elder.
Seeing what Li Yanchuan said was so sure, Gu Bai thought about it, called Wang Xiuquan, and expressed his thoughts just now. At first, he thought Wang Xiuquan would hesitate a little bit, but in the end, Wang Xiuquan directly wanted to make an appointment with Gu Bai. The quota for him to work in a restaurant for the first time next year.
"If I work like this, the time is not stable. Sometimes it is morning, sometimes it may be noon, and sometimes it may be evening. It is not even easy to say how long I will work in a month. Are you really sure?" Gu Bai said by himself Everyone blushed a little, he said this as work, more like entertaining himself.
But he had to say it out, and there was no point in hiding it. When he really started working, it would be exposed sooner or later.
Wang Xiuquan doesn't care about this at all, what is this, it's natural to be talented and self-willed.
Besides, what is Gu Bai missing?
Speaking of training cooking skills, in fact, letting Gu Bai go to work in a hotel is not enough to train him at all. People can’t study cooking skills at home. poor this...
After all the calculations, Gu Bai's ability to come out to work is for the benefit of others, and it's not normal for people to want to work freely.
According to Wang Xiuquan's idea of taking care of Bai, he told the other chefs about this matter. He actually hoped that there would be fewer restaurants competing with him. Who knew that none of the other chefs refused after hearing this, and they all expressed their disapproval. Gu Bai is welcome to work with them.
Even after learning that Wang Xiuquan had negotiated with Gu Bai in advance and grabbed the first spot, they hated Wang Xiuquan so much.
Of course, when Gu Bai came to work in their hotel, they definitely couldn’t pay him the salary of an ordinary chef. After all, Gu Bai himself is a gold-lettered signboard. They can see clearly how many guests they have attracted.
A good breakfast business may have little influence on the restaurant's revenue. If it is changed to Chinese food or dinner, and diners come to eat, it is impossible to only eat Gu Bai's dish, so they must order a few other dishes to go with it. , the profit in this is not small.
For this reason, the chefs in Linzhang City decided to set Gu Bai's salary according to the hotel's daily income after discussion.
Gu Bai didn't expect that they would offer such a salary, and he couldn't refuse it even if he wanted to, because the chefs who proposed the salary price said that if Gu Bai refused, then they could only reluctantly let Gu Bai come to work with them.
Because in their view, this is already taking advantage of Gu Bai.
Where did Gu Bai talk to a group of people by himself, so he could only agree, but the chefs felt that they took advantage of Gu Bai, but Gu Bai also felt that he took advantage of them, so he wanted to give more advice in his spare time Let's talk about the chefs, and the two sides are even.
Time passed quickly, and it was New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Gu family stayed at home, even though the house had already been cleaned by the housekeeper, but on New Year's Eve, the Gu family still cleaned it up a little, making it more holiday-like.
Originally, Gu Bai planned to cook today's dishes by himself, so it would be good to let Gu Chen and the others help out. Who knows that Gu Chen and the others all said that they have learned the method of new dishes, so they must show Gu Bai today. Let Gu Bai have a taste of their craftsmanship.
Ever since Gu Bai's anorexia healed, the three of them had this idea. They couldn't eat Gu Bai before, but now they can eat it. Naturally, they want Gu Bai to try their handicrafts.
However, in order to avoid the taste of what they cooked, all three of them chose to learn from a chef. In fact, the most suitable teacher is Gu Bai. Gu Bai's teaching reputation is very good, but they cook for Gu Bai. If Gu Bai knows how to make them again, it won’t taste that way, besides, can they make something better than Gu Bai’s?
That must not be possible.
Giving Gu Bai the food made in this way is a bit like giving Gu Bai a defective product.
Don't care if Gu Bai knows the other dishes they learned, before Gu Bai cooks them, they all assume that Gu Bai can't, that's how confident they are.
Under the guidance of a teacher, the three of them practiced many times at no expense of time and cost. As long as they are not culinary geniuses, they can basically do a decent job.
Now is a good time for them to show Gu Bai.
Gu Chen, Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu all glanced at each other, they both lived together, who would not know each other's movements, even Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu both hired the same teacher.
They are all moving, so Gu Bai can't stay still at all, anyway, there are enough dishes to eat during the Chinese New Year, so it's okay to cook a little more.
After thinking about it, Gu Bai decided to make a fish. This fish was improved from the five-spice ginger vinegar fish. After all, this fish is delicious, but the taste is still a little bland, because Gu Bai prefers spicy food. He decided to put some chilli in it.
When Gu Bai decided to improve it, he knew that it would not be easy to change, because this dish itself is full of sweetness and aroma, while the spicy taste is a bit too exciting, it is difficult to improve, let alone the level of this ginger vinegar fish It is still at sss level, this is the first time for Gu Bai to improve the menu of this difficulty.
And the change really made Gu Bai crazy, he was going to be stunned, and even made him think of retreating, or just buy an SS-level spicy fish, which is too much trouble for himself .
But in the end, Gu Bai still persevered, and without caring about the original medicinal effect of this medicinal diet, he managed to add some spicy flavor to it.
Because the freshness and sweetness of the fish itself cannot be covered, the spicy taste is not particularly heavy, but very pure spicy, which is soaked in the fish and complements each other.
In the eyes of others, Gu Bai dare not say, but in his heart, the taste of this fish is more in line with his appetite than before.
In addition, there is another dish of white-cut chicken. If you have fish, you must have chicken. The taste of white-cut chicken is very good, and four people eat one chicken and almost finish it.
As for the others, Gu Bai is going to make another fried spring roll, this spring roll is also Gu Bai's favorite dish during the Chinese New Year, it can be regarded as a memory of his Chinese New Year.
During Chinese New Year, Grandpa Gu fried spring rolls on the side of the pot, and he stood beside him and ate one after another. The spring rolls tasted very good, fragrant and crispy, and the fillings inside were fresh, soft and juicy.
The last thing is a dumpling, which is eaten as a staple food in the evening. After all, there are quite a lot of dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner. Gu Bai thinks that if you cook and eat, it is easy to leave over, so it is better to make a dumpling.
Gu Bai was in charge of four dishes, plus Gu Chen and the others each had two dishes, adding up to exactly ten dishes, and the four of them didn't know if they could finish it all in one sitting.
Although the Gu family only had two stoves, fortunately, Jiang Xiu's house was next to it. Although the kitchen was not used much, the utensils in the kitchen were still usable, and now the four of them had their own places.
Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu went to Jiang Xiu's kitchen, while Gu Chen and Gu Bai worked in Gu's kitchen.
But it's not afternoon yet, so Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu still don't have to go to cook so early, after all, the cooking time of the dishes they chose is relatively short, and it will be cold at night when they are ready now.
Just thinking of going there to cook in the afternoon, the two of them thought about it, and went over to clean up and prepare everything, so as to avoid messing up again when they hurriedly started in the afternoon.
Now is not the time to study in the classroom. Even if you mess up, you can start over. If they mess up here, time waits for no one. Gu Bai can’t do everything well. They’ve just started here. Let Gu Bai wait for them.
That would be too embarrassing.
When Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu passed by, Gu Bai had already started, because almost three of the four dishes he was going to cook could be prepared in advance.
Gu Bai cooks the white-cut chicken first. After all, the white-cut chicken is more time-consuming to make, and the white-cut chicken can be kept for a while, so it is also suitable for eating cold. Although it is cold outside this winter, the heating is sufficient at home, and it is still a bit hot.
As for the fish, Gu Bai left it behind to cook, and he started making spring rolls and dumplings first.
There are two key points in the production of spring rolls, one is the production of the spring roll skin, and the other is the production of the spring roll filling. As for frying in the pan, this is the basic thing.
It is best to make the spring roll skin thin enough, so that the spring roll skin can be fried crispy and delicious.
It's pretty easy to buy from outside, but it's a bit difficult to do it yourself.
Gu Bai scooped a few cups of flour, then poured an appropriate amount of water into it, and stirred the flour and water evenly to form a thick batter. This step mainly depends on people's judgment on the water absorption of the flour, because different flours have different water absorption.
At this point, it is best to be able to grasp the batter with your hands. When the palm is facing down, the batter can still be grasped by your hands without sliding down. If it is too thin, it cannot be used to make spring roll skins.
If it is too thick, it will be a bit difficult to operate, but it is okay for Gu Bai, or he needs a thicker one, because the thicker the batter, the thinner the spring roll skin will be, and the taste will be better.
After the batter has been stirred, Gu Bai continues to add an appropriate amount of table salt. Adding salt can increase the toughness of the batter, and then add some vegetable oil. Wait two hours.
Taking advantage of the time after this, Gu Bai turned around and started making dumpling wrappers. The dumpling wrappers are much thicker than the spring roll wrappers, and the method is a bit different, but the previous steps of kneading the dough are similar, except that the dough is mixed. The time should be shorter, about 10 minutes would be fine.
This speed is faster than spring roll skins.
When the dough is ready, Gu Bai kneads the dough into long strips, then cuts it into small pieces, and uses a rolling pin to roll out the dumpling wrappers that are thin on the sides and thick in the middle.
Gu Bai originally planned to roll out a few fewer dumplings. After all, there are so many dishes to eat at night. If you make too many dumplings, you may not be able to finish them. But just thinking about it, Gu Bai suddenly thought of something. They prepared the dishes for the night. Yes, but what about noon?
There seems to be no arrangement at noon?
When Gu Bai realized this, he was a little stunned, because he really had no idea. In his impression, the New Year's Eve dinner is always very rich, but the meal at noon on New Year's Eve really has too little impression. up.
It seems to be just eating and watching.
Gu Bai asked Gu Chen: "Brother, what do we have for lunch? Should we go out to eat or eat at home?"
Gu Chen was looking at his notes nervously. In the cooking class, Gu Chen actually did a good job, but when he got home, Gu Chen felt a little nervous. He had no choice but to look at himself more. Take notes and recall what you did before.
When Gu Chen was working in the company, he was able to handle all kinds of complicated business situations with ease, but when it came to cooking, he always felt that he had forgotten something, and he needed to read his notes quickly to recall.
It would be great if this was an illusion, but unfortunately after looking at the notes, Gu Chen found that his feeling was not an illusion, he really forgot a lot, don't forget it seems to be small details, but the details determine success or failure.
It was the first time that Gu Chen was so nervous, and he felt like returning to the examination room, but the problem was that he had good academic performance since he was a child, and he was not as nervous as he is now in the examination room.
So much so that when Gu Bai asked him, Gu Chen didn't react immediately, but waited for Gu Bai to ask him again before he came back to his senses.
"Is there anything else at home?" Gu Chen didn't really want to go out to eat during the Chinese New Year. Besides, they would come back after two o'clock after going out for a meal, so the time was a bit too tight.
There are a lot of dishes at home, but the problem is that they are basically used for dinner. When they discussed the dishes, they didn't think about what to eat at noon. Gu Bai didn't think about it because he was used to it in the previous world. Care, just eat something to fool your mouth.
Gu Bai couldn't understand, why Gu Chen and the others didn't react.
Faced with Gu Bai's doubts, Gu Chen was a little embarrassed. He also thought according to Gu Bai's thinking. Gu Bai didn't mention Chinese food, so he forgot. , basically go out for a meal with Gu Yu, or ask the chef to cook a meal at home, and then eat a little hastily and finish the job.
I usually live very well, so it doesn't seem that there is anything special about the New Year.
This year can be regarded as the most New Year's that Gu Chen has lived, and it has brought him a strong New Year's flavor before it even started.
"Then why don't you make dumplings to eat?" Gu Bai said, the dumpling wrappers are ready, you only need to choose a filling to make dumplings, if it's just spring rolls, it's too late, because the spring roll wrappers take a relatively long time to make long.
"In addition to soup dumplings, they can also be made into fried dumplings." Gu Bai continued.
Gu Chen directly agreed, but there are still two people in this family. Gu Chen yelled directly to the opposite side. He knew that Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu were in the kitchen, and the other party heard him when he yelled.
Regarding Gu Bai's suggestion, there is no way the two of them would disagree.
Since the four of them are willing to eat dumplings at home, Gu Bai put this matter aside and continued making dumplings.
Gu Bai prepared several fillings for the dumplings, pure meat, pork and cabbage, chives, three delicacies...
Anyway, to make fillings, I bought a lot of ingredients. I was worried that if I bought too much, I would not be able to finish it. Now that I have dumplings for lunch, Gu Bai can feel at ease. These ingredients are basically run out.
When making meat stuffing, Gu Bai chose to chop it with a knife instead of using a cooking machine. The reason is very simple, the stuffing made with a knife has a better taste, but the meat made with a cooking machine is not as good. up.
The filling itself is not too much, and it doesn't take much time to chop it.
After seasoning the minced meat, Gu Bai added some broth to the minced meat. He made this broth in Yuchunlou. The reason why he didn’t make it at home was because he didn’t use much broth at home. It’s really boiled at home. It is estimated that more than half of the soup will be wasted, so Gu Bai went to Yuchunlou to cook it.
Let the chefs of Yuchun Building use up the rest, so as to save wastage.
The meat stuffing can be chopped with a knife, while the vegetarian stuffing Gu Bai uses a knife to chop, because once the vegetarian vegetables are processed by chopping, a lot of nutrients in the vegetables will be lost, but cutting is much better.
If it's just one kind of filling, it's not too troublesome to prepare it, but Gu Bai greedily wants to eat dumplings with different flavors, so naturally it takes a little more work, each portion of the filling is prepared, and then put into a small bowl , Gu Bai didn't make any mark.
It's not that he doesn't want to make it, but that there are too many types. When the fillings are wrapped in the dumpling wrappers, except for some dumplings with more obvious characteristics, such as those filled with leeks, you can faintly see a little green through the dumpling wrappers. When they are taken out of the pot together, unless you eat it, you don't know what it tastes like.
If you have to distinguish, you can cook dumplings of one flavor in one pot, but that would be too much trouble, anyway, Gu Bai asked his family members about the fillings for the dumplings, so everyone can eat them, so just cook them in one pot.
There is a little surprise when eating dumplings like this.
For the dumplings at noon, Gu Bai thought about it, but he still didn't put the small gold coins that he had prepared in advance, so he should wait until the evening.
He eats fewer dumplings at night, so he can eat them quickly when he puts them away.
The dumpling wrappers and fillings were ready, Gu Chen grabbed Gu Bai, and instead of letting him do it first, he called Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu to come over and make dumplings together.
Jiang Xiu and Gu Yu had almost finished their preparations next door, and they hurried back when they heard Gu Chen's voice.
The family wanted to make dumplings, so Gu Bai simply took the dumpling wrappers and fillings to the table outside, saving himself from doing things in the kitchen.
After all, although the Gu family's kitchen is large, it is still a bit crowded when four people squeeze together.
It's just that Gu Chen and the others excitedly wanted to make dumplings, but once they made them, they were dumbfounded, as if they were not made very well.
Look at the dumplings made by Gu Bai, they are all white and fat, with exquisite and beautiful patterns, and the dumplings are not cute, but the ones made by them are either fat and ugly, or a little skinny, which makes people suspect that after cooking, the insides are really delicious. Will there be fillings?
Is this eating dumplings, or dumpling wrappers?
This question is worth pondering.
Jiang Xiu looked at the skinny dumpling in her hand, and struggled to tear apart the dumpling skin. Fortunately, she didn't use too much force when she pinched it just now, and the dumpling skin still fell apart.
Jiang Xiu looked at the fillings that Gu Bai picked, then looked at the ones he picked, and added some more, then looked at the dumpling wrapper in Gu Bai's hand, and added some more, this time, added more.
Jiang Xiu was like this, but Gu Yu and Gu Chen were not much better. Gu Bai sighed helplessly, put down his work, went back to the kitchen and brought three spoons, and each of them shared one.
"You guys use this spoon to scoop out the fillings, one spoonful is almost enough fillings for a dumpling." Gu Bai said.
Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully scooped a spoonful of fillings into the dumpling wrapper, and now the wrapped dumplings look more pleasing to the eye.
Although the patterns are not as good as the dumplings made by Gu Bai, they are still considered normal. Then put the dumplings aside for Gu Bai to check, so as not to find that the skin is not squeezed tightly and the fillings are all boiled after the dumplings are put into the water. out of the accident.
Fortunately, most of the dumplings don't have this problem, and a small number of Gu Bai can be squeezed a little bit.
They wrapped all the dumpling wrappers rolled out by Gu Bai in one go. Gu Chen and the three of them were still a little bit unsatisfied. Although it was a bit difficult at the beginning, they gradually became proficient, and the more they wrapped, the more powerful they became. It is cooking, but it seems to be playing.
The dumplings were all wrapped, Gu Bai checked the time, it was almost time for lunch, so he started to make.
There is no difficulty in making dumplings. Just wait until the water boils and put it in boiling water to cook. After the water boils, add cold water for three times in a row. When the dumplings float, you can add seasonings and take them out of the pot.
The method of frying dumplings is a little more complicated.
Gu Bai poured an appropriate amount of oil into the frying pan, and then heated it up. When the oil temperature rose a little, he put the dumplings in neatly. Oil alone would definitely not make the dumplings cooked. After this step, Gu Bai Pour some water into it again, the water height is almost just below half of the dumplings, then cover the lid and turn on the fire.
When the water in the pot boiled, Gu Bai changed the heat to medium and waited for the water in the pot to boil dry before continuing to add water to suffocate it.
This time, after the water is boiled dry, there is no need to add more water, because the bottom of the dumplings is already dry and brittle, and it looks a little burnt yellow, so the fried dumplings are ready.
If you want it to be more fragrant, you can drizzle a little sesame oil on it, the aroma will be more intense, but Gu Bai gave up, the aroma of this dumpling is already very strong, adding some sesame oil would still make it a bit greasy.
Gu Bai finally mixed a vinegar sauce, and everything was ready.
One bowl of soup dumplings per person, plus a large plate of fried dumplings, and a plate of vinegar sauce, when put on the table, it didn't look so rich, or it looked a bit more shabby than usual.
But none of the people present cared about this, but they all looked at the dumplings in front of them with great interest.
This is the first time for Gu Yu and Gu Chen to make dumplings, and Jiang Xiu, although she also made dumplings when she was in Jiang's house, she hasn't made dumplings for many years after leaving Jiang's house. Looking at these dumplings, she feels very kind, Feel the novelty.
Gu Chen recognized the dumplings made by himself at a glance. The dumplings in the bowl may not be obvious, but the fried dumplings are neatly arranged, and it is quite difficult not to recognize them.
Gu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the dumplings he made seemed to look a lot better after being fried like this, and each one was white, yellow, fat, cute and tight.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else moved their chopsticks, Gu Chen quickly picked up a dumpling made by himself and put it on the small plate in front of Gu Bai: "Ah Bai, try it, I made it."
Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu immediately realized that they regretted it. They wanted Gu Bai to try their own cooking first, but now, although the dumpling skin and fillings are all made by Gu Bai himself, they still count as one-third of the dumpling. Maybe I made it myself, but Gu Chen took the lead.
