Chapter 73：

The envelopes drawn by the contestants were opened one by one, and the host introduced the stories or historical origins behind each snack one by one.

"I saw that Fu Fengxing got Dengying beef." The host said, "The main difficulty of this dish is the knife skills. The beef should be sliced ​​very thin, fried with special spicy oil, and the color of the beef after cooking Bright red, as thin as lantern paper, if there is light shining through, you can see the shadow of the lantern, hence the name "Dengying Beef."

"As for the Eight Treasure Cake that Zhuang Zhouyang drew..."

After the host's brief introduction, the contestants were asked to split up with the staff, and went to the six restaurants selected by the program group to learn how to make them from the owner, and then finished cooking by themselves.

"Meicai braised meat pot helmet?" Yu Antong was at a loss as he read the words on the card in the envelope.

In the past, after the host finished talking about the rules of the game, he could quickly come up with many food plans in his mind and make them in an orderly manner, but this time he had no clue at all.

He can cook pickled pork with pickled vegetables, but he has only heard of pot knuckle but never eaten it, and even said he has never seen it.

Before he came here, he had a bad heart. The old man Yu who adopted him raised him carefully, and he never had the chance to eat this kind of snack in the streets.

After passing through, he married Xing Lixuan on the same day. The Xing family was wealthy, so there was no chance for him to come into contact with these things.

There is a row of snack bars near their university, and he has been there a few times, but unfortunately there is no Guokui.

The card has a brief introduction and pictures of Mei Cai Braised Pork Guokui, and Yu Antong looks like a thin pie.

Yu Antong followed the staff and frowned delicately: "Yuxiu, Haoning, have you done this?"

Jiang Yuxiu and Lin Haoning shook their heads together.

Lin Haoning said: "I have eaten it, but I have never cooked it. To make this, I need a special crock furnace."

Except for those who specialize in this kind of snack business, most people do not have that special traditional kitchen utensils at home.

A few people came to the store quickly, the storefront was very small, Yu Antong reckoned it was only three meters wide.

There are three rows of tables and chairs on the left and right sides of the store, allowing customers to eat in the store. The store is not wide, leaving only a narrow passage in the middle that is enough for two people to come and go in parallel.

In order not to affect the normal business of the store as much as possible, the program team specially selected the time period with the smallest passenger flow.

It is now 9 o'clock, the peak period of breakfast customers has just passed, and the noon peak period has not yet arrived. Only a few customers in the store are eating.

Seeing a group of people coming, and someone carrying a camera, the diners poked their heads curiously.

"Are you Yu Antong?" Someone recognized Yu Antong, his eyes were full of excitement and surprise, "You are the film crew of "God of Cooking!", right?!"

Yu Antong bowed to them: "Hello, we are the film crew of "God of Cooking!", sorry to interrupt your meal."

"Don't bother, don't bother!"

Facing the camera, the diners bowed their heads in excitement or embarrassment, and waved their hands to express that it was okay.

"My God, I didn't expect you to come here to record a show! I actually came across the scene! Yu Antong, I'm your fan, so happy to see you!" An extroverted girl stood up excitedly, incoherently excited.

She twittered for a long time, then asked belatedly: "Will we be in the store affect your shooting? Do we need to leave?"

"No, no, no." Yu Antong hurriedly said, "Just eat here, you don't need to leave, thank you for liking our show, please continue to support it."

It's nice that they don't have to leave, they can watch the show recording up close!

The diners were secretly happy. Yu Antong himself looked more handsome than on TV, but they didn't know if his cooking skills were really that good. Today they were finally able to truly witness.

The cameraman naturally showed the camera to the talking fan eater, but the companion sitting opposite the girl quickly grabbed the bag to cover his face!

"Is it inconvenient to shoot?" the cameraman asked, if passers-by don't want to appear on camera, they will try their best to avoid it.

"No! I don't have makeup on, I don't want to be on camera." The girl hid behind her handbag, her face was bitter, and she grinned, "I spent two hours putting on makeup before I went out, and I couldn't even meet a ghost. Today I came out of the community unkempt. I bought a pot helmet here and met my male god! My life is like a shark!"

At this time, the owner of the store came out from behind the small door covered by the curtain, and the camera shifted to the owner.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man of medium stature, with a neat short-shaven head, an honest and honest face, a clean white apron tied in front of his body, and a pot of freshly proofed dough in his hand.

Seeing their faces showing a welcome smile: "You are here! I was meeting in the back just now, and I heard movement outside, welcome!"

The proprietress also came out, she was a very shy woman, nodding and smiling at everyone.

"Boss, here's a fried pork knuckle with pickled vegetables and a fresh pork knuckle with shallots..." A regular customer shouted as soon as he entered the store, and halfway through the shout he realized that today's store is different from the past.

The boss asked, "Take away or eat here?"

The regular customer was stunned for a second before saying: "...Ah, take it away, boss, are you going to shoot an advertisement?"

"It's a gourmet variety show." The boss said a few words to the customer with a smile, and started to make pot helmets.

Just according to the plan of the program group, the shop owner should first demonstrate the complete production process to the contestants and then provide technical guidance.

Now Yu Antong immediately began to observe and study.

The owner of the shop is an old expert who has been making pot helmets for many years. Practice makes perfect, and a piece of dough is particularly "obedient" in his hands.

I saw him grab two fist-sized pieces of dough, sprinkle a layer of flour on the chopping board, press it a few times with his hands, flatten it, and then use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of dried prunes, vegetable and meat stuffing on top, first like a bun Wrap it up in the same way, press down on the closing part to form a ball, and then change the direction of the force to form an elliptical ball.

Squeeze again and press flat, use a small brush to brush a layer of oil on both sides, sprinkle a handful of white sesame seeds, and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is very thin.

The white dough with the stuffing is already so thin that you can see the dark plum vegetable stuffing inside.

At this time, the owner dipped his hands in water, put the pot helmet in his hand, and slapped the pot helmet back and forth alternately to make the pot helmet thinner.

The owner put his hand into the crock furnace where the pot helmet was attached to test the temperature. After making sure that the temperature was right, he put the "pancake" on the back of his hand, put it into the crock furnace, and pushed it close to the wall of the crock. Attached to the furnace wall.

Yu Antong has never seen a special crock furnace for making pot helmets. It looks like a big vat, and the cake can be tightly attached to the furnace wall when it is pasted up. It is amazing.

Yu Antong poked his head to look in, because the pot helmet was made very thin, so it was very easy to cook. After a while, he saw the color of the pot helmet gradually changed from white to light yellow, and then became bulging and burnt yellow. At the same time, the burnt aroma of the pot helmet also Float out.

The owner of the store saw that the time was about the same, and used two special tools, a long-handled hook and a long-handled shovel, to pick up the pot helmets one by one. After the pot helmets came out, due to the drop in temperature, the original puffs collapsed and became crispy and delicious.

The scorched aroma of the noodles and the salty aroma of the minced vegetables and meat are perfectly intertwined, Yu Antong pursed the corners of his mouth, it was really fragrant, and he wanted to eat it.

But he could only watch helplessly as the shopkeeper smeared a layer of hot sauce on it according to the customer's taste, and handed it to the customer in a bag.

When making the second fresh meat stuffed pot helmet, the shop owner began to explain the tricks to Yu Antong while making it.

"You can't put too much stuffing. Generally, a spoonful of stuffing is enough for such a big noodle, otherwise the stuffing will be exposed when it is flattened for a while."

The previous steps are okay, Yu Antong thinks he should have no problems, the most difficult thing for him is this crock furnace that he has never seen before, and he doesn't know how to use it at all!

"The temperature of pasting cakes should be well controlled. The fire should not be too hot or too weak. If the temperature is too high, the cakes will be burnt. If the temperature is low, the cakes will not be able to stick. If they fall to the bottom, they will become waste cakes. So crispy."

Yu Antong humbly asked for advice: "Then how can you be sure that the temperature is just right?"

The shop owner said: "Try it with your hand. Although it's very hot, it's not so hot that you can't stand it. It's about the same temperature. Now this temperature is suitable. Try it and be careful not to burn yourself."

Yu Antong stretched out his hand to try it, and his arm suddenly warmed up, as if he had suddenly entered a stove.

No, it's not like, it's really going into the stove.

Yu Antong felt it carefully for two seconds and wrote it down.

The shop owner said while sticking the cake: "You must move quickly when sticking the cake, and press it a few more times..."

Fortunately, the production time of the pot helmet is very fast. The owner basically explained the main points clearly, and the ten-minute learning time has just arrived.

The staff said: "Ten minutes is up, the teaching time is over, and the two-hour production time starts. The contestants must complete at least 20 Guokui within the specified time."

"Quick, quick!" Yu Antong was very confused this time, and could no longer be as leisurely as in the previous episodes. Hearing the staff calling for the timer to start, he immediately got busy.

The program team only asked the shop owner to provide them with raw materials, and even the noodles had to be kneaded by themselves. It took two hours. The time was tight and it had to be allocated reasonably.

"Hao Ning minced meat, Yu Xiu washed dried plums and soaked them, then cut some dried shrimps." Yu Antong ordered them while adding water and noodles.

Twenty servings of Guokui require a lot of noodles, and they have to reserve the amount that may not be successfully scrapped.

Kneading the required dough at one time requires too much physical strength, and it is not easy to wake up. Yu Antong plans to separate, first knead a third of the dough, seal it with plastic wrap for proofing, and then knead the rest. Save time.

After Yu Antong finished a pot of noodles, Lin Haoning and Jiang Yuxiu just finished the task Yu Antong gave them.

"Each of you knead another pot of noodles." Yu Antong took over the work of the two of them. He first mixed the chopped fresh meat with salt, pepper, sugar, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine and other seasonings, and then chopped the soaked preserved vegetables. Stir the minced shrimp and minced shrimp into the meat until his arms are a little sour, and then add some sesame oil to finish.

"I'm exhausted." Yu Antong rubbed his arms, drank two sips of water, and had a short rest while waiting for the first bowl of noodles to wake up.

When the noodles were fully hydrated, it was time for the real challenge. Yu Antong followed the shopkeeper's demonstration step by step.

The first few steps were very good, but when it came to the step of rolling the cake thin, he didn't control the strength well and broke the cake.

Yu Antong didn't throw away and redo it, but used this piece of cake to test the temperature of the oven.

In a few minutes, the cake changed from a rotten cake to a mushy cake.

Yu Antong: "..."

too difficult!
