Chapter 253: Building a Good Oven Must Always Be Used

Early the next morning, the troops were assembled and they set off directly.

Compared with the ruffle above the court, the actual dispatch is faster. Or maybe Xun Yu and others are really powerful, and after working overtime all night, they have prepared all the materials that need to be prepared. After assembling in the early morning, it was completely possible to set off directly. I'm afraid that Huang Zhong, who went out with the army for the first time, will be amazed by the efficiency here.

"So, there's nothing to do with us at all?" Wang Yong continued to prepare today's dishes in the kitchen, everyone was busy with the expedition in the morning, and there was no time to eat, so they must have a good meal at noon.

"Peace is the best, no matter what!" Wen Ming said with a smile, as Wang Yong, unless Cao Cao drove the expedition in person, he was basically in the rear.

"Yes, how good is peace!" Wang Yong threw the dough, the spring wheat began to be harvested, and flour began to be sold on the market, so the food can naturally be biased towards pasta. The happiest is Wei Yan, who is full of enthusiasm for learning.

Alas, this little girl ran crookedly, and I hope that she will not go further and further on the path of the pastry chef in the future.

"Speaking of which, Master, what's that over there?" Wei Yan suddenly pointed to the two masonry structures in the back kitchen.

"Roast kiln!" Wang Yong did not hide it, and this is also the last two months, which has been set up one after another. At the beginning, I reserved a place to come out, but I forgot about it, and then I remembered it and built two kilns to come out.

One is used for roast duck, of course, barbecued pork can also be used; The other is more special, and is used to bake bread, pizza and cakes. Wang Yong has also been in contact with Western-style noodles and everything, and he still remembers using a rice cooker and making bread before.

"Speaking of which, I used to say that I wanted to make some desserts for Cao Cao, but in fact, all I made was jelly pudding or something......" Wang Yong suddenly remembered this.

But at that time, there was such an idea, mainly to be able to soak each other. Now that he is married, do you still need to deliberately please him like this? It seems that it is still very necessary, after all, who makes the other party their own top boss?!

"Wei Yan!" Wang Yong suddenly shouted.

"The disciple is here!" Wei Yan was immediately agitated and hurriedly replied.

"You've been exposed to pastries made by steaming or boiling noodles in water. Now I'm going to teach you a type of pastry baked in a baking kiln, and this kind of pastry is called pastry. Wang Yong said solemnly.

Not only breads, cakes and pizzas, but also puffs, cookies and shortbreads can be baked in a baking kiln. That's right, this cooking method is actually baking, to put it bluntly, baking.

In other words, the so-called bread can also be called toasted bread, and the traditional Chinese buns are also called 'steamed bread'. Later generations also had the concept of so-called steamed bread, but this egg steamed bun, dare to change the vest and become tall? !

"West pastry, what kind of pastry is that?" Wei Yan suddenly became excited, she had a lot of contact with pastries during this time, from steamed buns, dumplings chaos, pot helmets to noodles, and even cold skin, but she didn't expect that the noodles were so diverse.

"But at the moment, there is no hurry, make lunch first, clean out the roasting kiln during this time, and then prepare the charcoal fire. In terms of ingredients, I need eggs, strawberries, flour, milk and sugar...... Wen Ming, help me prepare! Wang Yong immediately ordered to go down.

"Subordinates obey!" Wen Ming responded, and then began to purchase. He knew very well that this purchase was a private account.

Lunch is noodles, considering that the weather is starting to get hot, Wang Yong made a knife cut noodles, with the method of dry fishing, put the aged vinegar and chili oil into it, with other seasonings, it is really sour and spicy, very appetizing.

"I thought that this noodle was mainly cut out or pulled out, or even thrown out, but I didn't expect it to be able to be cut." Liu Xie was eating noodles and looked very comfortable.

"Knife cutting surface, each side must be cut to about the same size, so that it is qualified. If the size is different and the heat is different, the taste will be much worse. And the process of shaving noodles is actually a visual enjoyment. Wang Yong introduced.

However, the birth of knife-cut noodles was because of the special environment of the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that at that time, the imperial court stipulated that the ten families below shared a kitchen knife, and no one borrowed it, but it turned out that someone borrowed it. On the way back, I tripped over a thin piece of iron, so I simply took it into my arms and brought it back. It's not how to cut noodles without a knife, so I just cut it, and this doesn't develop the knife-cut noodles.

When it comes to food culture, Chinese food culture can be said to have a long history. Some dishes, in fact, are more like witnesses of history, showing people the historical characteristics of that period.

"My lord, here comes what you wanted!" Wen Ming took everything over at this time. This kid is a bit of a monkey spirit, so if he buys more, it's not a problem to make three or four cakes.

"The extra part will be deducted from your salary?" Wang Yong raised his eyebrows.

"Eh, my lord, I am wronged!" Wen Ming directly defended, "Aren't you worried that the attempt will not be successful, so prepare more materials?" Even if you can't use it up, you can save it for next time! ”

That's right, even if you only do one today, you can still make more tomorrow! Yes, that's a good reason!

"Well, that's it!" Wang Yong took the materials angrily.

"Worry-free, what is this going to do?" Liu Xie looked at Wang Yong curiously.

"I'm going to try making a cake, after all, the baking kiln has already been built, and it would be a waste not to do something." Wang Yong replied, thought about it, and asked, "Do you want to stay and have a snack?!" ”

"Okay!" Liu Xie thought for a while, "Anyway, there is nothing to be busy with in the afternoon!" ”

"Then wait a minute!" Wang Yong walked towards the kitchen, and Wei Yan also ran over. Wen Ming naturally followed, but Liu Xie thought about it and ran over.

"Four eggs are enough for one cake, and the whites and yolks are separated...... Yes, that's it! Wang Yong took out two containers and put egg whites and egg yolks respectively.

The egg yolk is added with low-gluten flour, which is the material of the cake base; The egg white is powerful, add sugar in three times and beat it slowly, it will actually become a shape like cream, and the whipping cream is said to be beaten like this, and the whipping cream and milk are the main ingredients of the cream.

"But if you don't have a blender...... It's terrible......" Wang Yong muttered. At the same time, the egg whites are frozen in ice cubes along with the container, the frozen egg whites are easier to whip, and the lemon is prepared, which can be used as a substitute for baking powder.

Sweeten the egg yolks, add vegetable oil and milk at the same time, lightly beat, but do not whip; Add the cake flour and stir further; Add one-third of the egg whites and continue to stir; Finally, it is poured into the abrasive, and in order to demold, a layer of tin foil can be placed inside...... Yes, Wanshiwu actually has tin foil for sale, and Wang Yong only recently found out!

It is baked in a baking kiln according to the temperature and the size of the cake, and the result of the naked eye is that the cake swells up and then deflats. There is a slight discoloration on the outside, and the specific operation still needs to be practiced.

After all, before the crossing, Wang Yong did not have the financial resources to build a baking kiln. All he can do is buy an oven, put molds in it, and bake it for twenty-five to thirty minutes. Then lift it with tin foil, and the whole cake is directly unmolded.

Frozen egg whites, add some lemon juice, then add milk, oil and sugar, and the rest is to stir and beat until the whipped cream does not drip off the tamper, and the cream is done.

"Is this, eggs and milk actually beaten like this?" At this moment, everyone present showed curious eyes. No one thought that these things would add up to such a finished product.

"It's cream on top of the cake, you can imagine the taste!" Wang Yong said with a smile.

"Indeed, just by looking at it, you can understand that this cream must be very sweet!" Wei Yan nodded vigorously, while Wen Ming and Liu Xie also nodded slightly.

In the blink of an eye, the bread was almost baked, Wang Yong took it out to check, it can't be said to be absolutely perfect, but it was a success in the end.

"It can only be regarded as a work of practice, let's improve it next time!" Wang Yong sighed, at this level, it can only be regarded as a home-cooked level, and it is not so simple to reach a senior chef or even a special chef.

The cake was demoulded, and the fluffy cake embryo and sweet taste immediately attracted the attention of the two ladies. Both of them were eager to try it, and sure enough, desserts, especially cakes or ice cream, were very attractive to women.

Cutting, cutting the cake crust into quarters, there are special props in later generations, which can keep the props level, so that the cutting will be very even. But Wang Yong's eyesight and hand power are very strong, so the cake embryo was cut with two "smacks".

Remove the strawberries from the stems and cut them in half. Spread evenly on top of one layer of cake, then spread with cream and cover with a second layer of cake. Repeat this again and cover the last layer of cake.

According to the need, this can actually be directly served, divided into several pieces, and then eaten. To fully enjoy the cream, spread the remaining cream around the cake until it is completely wrapped.

Finally, on the top, put a strawberry as a decoration, and the finished strawberry cream cake is finished.

"At this level...... Wang Yong assessed, "it can only be regarded as ordinary!" ”

"Even if that's the case, I'd love to try it!" Liu Xie looked at Wang Yong with an expectant expression. And Wei Yan on the side also swallowed silently.

"In that case, let's start eating! At this size, it's exactly six pieces! Wang Yong smiled, and the kitchen knife went down a few times and divided it into six pieces.

Himself, Liu Xie, Wei Yan, Wen Ming and Cao Cao, I'm afraid that if you have to count one Xun Yu, six yuan is just right. Put the cut cake into a small porcelain dish, put a small fork, and look at the strawberries exposed at the cut, which is very enjoyable visually.

"You can eat as much as you want, I'll take these two out first......" Wang Yong took the cake and walked towards the side hall.

"Let's eat!" When Liu Xie saw Wang Yong leaving, he was not hypocritical, and directly began to taste it.

In the mouth, the cream is rich and smooth, and the flavor of milk and the sweetness of sugar are very strong. And then the aroma of the cake and the sweet and sour taste of strawberries, as if, that is the taste of first love.

"It's completely different from buns, baking!" Wei Yan clenched her fists, and at this moment, she seemed to see a new world.

"Excuse me, my lord!" Wang Yong knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he walked into the side hall, came to Cao Cao, and asked cautiously. "My subordinates made some desserts, I wonder if the lord is interested?"
