Chapter 46 Hand Cake
Chen Mu has never been exposed to the "kitchen" work since he demonstrated it to Du Jiajia twice.
Du Jiajia seems to be very talented in cooking. The rice cakes she improved do taste much better than Chen Mu. To put it bluntly, Chen Mu is just a poor man's child who has long been in charge and doesn't really like cooking.
But in terms of experience, Du Jiajia, who has only been exposed to rice so far, still cannot compare with Chen Mu.
"There's rice, there's flour, there's oil, there's salt, there's vegetables, there's dried meat, let me think about what I can do..."
Chen Mu was a little hard to make a choice when faced with the sudden abundance of ingredients.
"Can you cook noodles?"
As soon as this suggestion came out, everyone felt like their mouths were watering.
The simplest food, such as rice and noodles, seems to be a fatal temptation now, and you can see that there is rice and noodles, but you can't eat them. This feeling can really make people collapse.
"All cooking methods such as boiling are currently impossible." Tang Jing shook her head in denial.
"Is it because the water evaporates?"
"That's right, the amount of water is too small. It can't withstand a few boils and boils dry. The food can't be cooked at all." "
Then what should we do?"
"Wait until the water source problem is solved, and create This will only be possible with a large enough pot."
Dong Junwei suddenly asked: "I have an idea. Can Chen Mu make a completely airtight container out of metal, then seal the water and rice grains inside, and then heat it? , so that the water will not be lost, and maybe rice can be cooked."
Tang Jing nodded: "I have also thought about this method. To be honest, it is not completely impossible, but there are still many problems." "
What problem? "
First of all, I don't doubt Chen Mu's ability, but the so-called 'completely airtight' container is actually very difficult to achieve. It may not be visible at normal temperature and pressure, but once heated, the liquid water inside is transformed into Water vapor, pressure increases sharply, and even a tiny crack will lead to failure and waste of food.
"Of course, if Chen Mu tries this a few more times, he will probably succeed, but the biggest problem is that it is too difficult to do so. It's dangerous.
"Are you worried about an explosion? " "Chen Mu asked.
"Yes, I don't think the squad leader is very proficient in his heating ability. If the force is too strong, it will be okay if the container is not sealed. Standard, it is easy to cause an explosion. Although the food is tempting, there is no need to take such risks just yet. "
Yes, yes..." everyone agreed in unison.
"However, after the monitor becomes more proficient, you can try heating the container to a certain level and then letting it cool down naturally. If you do this a few times, you can probably cook it." Got rice.
"Then I'll practice my hands with metal more recently. " "
Among the materials Dong Junwei uses for practice now, the most common ones are stones. During the time that Chen Mu and the others left, she added more than 20 grenades to the team's arsenal. This undoubtedly greatly increased the team's strength
. Fighting power.
"There is no rush. Now that we have oil and salt, even if it is still rice cakes, the taste will be much better." "
In the end,
Chen Mu still decided to make pancakes.
But the main ingredient used was changed to flour.
The taste of flour pancakes is naturally much better than rice pancakes, especially with various ingredients and seasonings.
Chen Mu is skillful Take flour, add water, make it into a semi-thin paste, and then let Dong Junwei heat the iron plate.
Today's cooking environment is much better than at the beginning.
Not only has the area of the iron plate increased, but the entire stove has also expanded. It's really It feels a bit like a kitchen.
Chen Mu made two stainless steel jars, one for salt and one for oil. This can prevent frequent opening of seasoning packages and accelerate deterioration. The so-called
oil is not really oil, used for cooking. Deep-frying is definitely not possible, but it can still be done by adding a little to prevent sticking to the pan when spreading the pancakes. And for people nowadays, a little oily sauce is already a supreme delicacy. Chen Mu hung his hands in the
air Above the iron plate.
After feeling that the temperature is enough,
immediately apply a layer of oil, then use a homemade stainless steel iron spoon to scoop a spoonful of batter and pour it on the iron plate. The
sizzling sound and the aroma of frying are immediately diffused. Come on.
Everyone gathered around Chen Mu, drooling to watch his operation.
Spread the batter and spread it into a pancake shape.
Then, Chen Mu crushed the eggs and sprinkled them evenly on the pancake.
Turn it over and spread it Sauce.
The celery leaves are torn into appropriate sizes and spread on the bread.
There are dehydrated chopped green onions in the vegetable bag, but considering that there is already celery, no additional ones are added. After all, these fresh celery leaves cannot be stored for too long. It must be eaten quickly, and dehydrated vegetables can be stored for a long time. After a few days, these things can be regarded as strategic materials. Who knows when the next batch of vegetable food will appear. The beef cubes are torn into small
strips , placed horizontally on top of all the ingredients.
Chen Mu rolled up the pancake skillfully, turned it at an angle, and then cut the pancake from the middle with the spatula on his hand. He took a plate and put it on it. "Who comes first
? ? "
Chen Mu held up the plate and looked at everyone.
Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time.
"Da Lei, eat first, I see your eyes are almost on fire.
"Fart, you are the same, okay? " "
..."
Chen Mu handed the plate to Wei Dalei.
"Then I won't be polite." "
Old Wei happily reached out and picked up half of it, and gave the remaining half to Zhao Xiaoyan.
Because there was no paper or bag to put their hands on, the two of them kept blowing hot air. It felt like walking on the roadside in the early morning. An office worker bought a pancake and hurried on his way.
"Woooo..."
Wei Dalei couldn't stop his mouth since he took the first bite. He just hummed there, probably wanting to say it tasted delicious, but he couldn't bear to stop. Open your mouth.
Even Zhao Xiaoyan felt like he was devouring it.
At the same time, Chen Mu had already started to make the second one.
Apply oil, pour batter, turn over, spread sauce, spread vegetables... His
movements became more and more skillful.
"Chen Mu, Have you ever sold pancakes from your own cart? "Tang Jing said with a smile.
"I have sold pancakes, but I don't have my own pushcart. I just help people to look after the stall temporarily. I earn 50 cents per pancake. If the business is good in the morning, I can make a small profit before going to school. An income of more than ten yuan. "Chen Mu replied with a smile.
Everyone suddenly understood.
They found it interesting and laughed one after another.
But they laughed but couldn't laugh anymore.
He Ying didn't know Chen Mu's background and was a little confused, but she didn't ask.
...
"What kind of pancake is this?"
"Pancake fruit?"
"No, it's a little thicker than that, and there's no fried dough sticks or crispiness." "
You're really particular about it." "
It's more like hand pancakes."
"..."
"Let's just treat it as a hand cake. It just doesn't have many ingredients and is a bit crude."
Chen Mu said and distributed the second portion to everyone.
"It's not as shabby as it is, it's obviously a noble, luxurious and invincible deluxe version of hand cakes!"
Sun Yuan was the first to praise it.
But his flattery this time was unanimously recognized by everyone.
The second update will be in the evening.
