Chapter 050 Chapter 50 is also a time travel?
The wrapped dough looked like a large croissant. An Qing rubbed her hands, feeling a little excited.
The next step is to pinch the dough. This step is also very important. If it is pinched wrong, the thousand-layer puff pastry cannot be made.
Mu Chen looked at the dough wrapped by An Qing and smelled it. He could smell a little bit of fragrance that he didn't know what it was, but it didn't smell very appetizing.
He asked An Qing doubtfully, "Is this edible? Can I eat it now?"
An Qing shook her head. "Of course not. It's still raw and can't be eaten. Wait until it's cooked."
As she spoke, she reached out and turned off the stove next to her where eggs, chicken legs and duck legs were cooking.
An Qing moved her fingers. When pinching this kind of dough, one has to rotate it and pinch it slowly. An Qing recalled the method she saw in the short video. She rotated and pinched at the same time. After a while, she finally pinched off a dough.
She pinched the broken ends together and pressed them inward to make sure they were closed. Then she sprinkled a thin layer of flour on the chopping board and placed the dough she had pinched off on it.
The pinched dough looks like an upside-down spinning top.
The second one, the third one...
An Qing pinched out ten pills in total.
She didn't control the dosage well, so the last dose was obviously much smaller than the previous ones.
But this kind of medicine is different from ordinary medicine, and there is no way to redistribute it, so this is the only way.
An Qing put some oil on the dough, took the smallest one to practice, and started rolling out the pancakes.
She rolled it out carefully, but after the dough was rolled out, it could not be shaped into a pancake as she wished. It was either a little higher on one side or a little higher on the other.
And as she rolled it, the pancake, which was supposed to be round, was not round at all, but was rolled into strange shapes.
An Qing; "..."
Facing the pancake she had rolled out, she took a deep breath. She really didn't believe it. She had watched so many cooking videos, but she couldn't even roll out a pancake properly?
Rolling out dough requires a higher level of skill, but rolling out pancakes should be much easier!
An Qing picked up the next dough and continued rolling it.
Rolling out one dough after another, it is visible to the naked eye that by the time the tenth one is rolled out, the dough is obviously much rounder than the previous ones.
An Qing breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing. "I was saying, I must have some talent in this area."
Mu Chen looked at it eagerly, "Is it okay now?"
An Qing: "..."
She was a little speechless. "How can it be so fast? We have to wait a while."
Muchen: "But it's already 1:20 in the afternoon."
An Qing subconsciously checked the time and was surprised to find that it was true. It took her so long to roll out a pancake. She felt a little ashamed.
"Did any guests come just now?"
Tang Ming, "No, probably didn't expect it to open today."
An Qing nodded. "Captain Tang, please ask the branch to come over and get the instant noodles. From now on, instant noodles and river snail rice noodles will be sold at the branch. The main store has a limited supply each day, so we'll sell whatever we have."
The supermarket has not opened yet, so the branch can still sell simple dishes such as instant noodles and snail noodles. When the supermarket opens, she will pass on the dishes she has learned to the branch.
Tang Ming nodded and went out to find someone to pass the message.
An Qing opened the system panel to check the happiness balance.
The current happiness value balance is 3,002,900. I can give 10,000 bags of instant noodles, 10,000 bags of hot and sour noodles, 10,000 cans of eight-treasure porridge, and 10,000 boxes of milk to each of the four branches.
The four stores have 40,000 bags of instant noodles with a total happiness value of 120,000, hot and sour noodles with 240,000, eight-treasure porridge with 400,000, and milk with 240,000.
A total of one million happiness points.
Just as An Qing was thinking, the communicator rang. She took out the communicator and looked at it. It was Wei Xunyi calling.
"Secretary Wei, is there anything wrong?" An Qing washed her hands and answered the call.
Wei Xunyi's tired voice came from the other side, "An Qing, do you have any food that the people in the base haven't eaten yet? The research institute needs it."
Originally, I should have told An Qing about this matter yesterday, but An Qing stayed up late to catch up on her sleep. When she woke up, Wei Xunyi was so busy that he completely forgot about it.
If Jiang Fusheng hadn't urged him just now, Wei Xunyi would still be dizzy and unable to remember.
An Qing knew that the research institute was using these foods for research.
She opened the system panel and looked at the shelves inside. "Yes, there are quite a lot. How many does the research institute need? Or I can pick a few more and send them over?"
Wei Xunyi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll send someone over right away."
An Qing: "Well, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Wei Xunyi thought about the experimental report he had read before and said, "It doesn't need to be too much, just one hundred servings of the same food will be enough."
An Qing: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she chose five kinds of candies: biscuits, chocolates, potato chips, fruit candies, and tangerine peel candies. These candies were all in small packages, with two happiness points per bag.
After taking out the things for the research institute and handing them over to the people from the Fiery Team, An Qing also took out the things for the four branches.
Because it was only given to four stores, she could buy and take out the items in batches of tens of thousands without wasting any time, which also saved the Fire Team from having to count them again.
An Qing divided the store into four areas, storing goods from the four stores respectively.
Fortunately, it can still be piled up.
An Qing instructed the members of the Fiery Team to take a bunch of pancakes from each store, then went back to the kitchen, washed their hands and started making pancakes.
In fact, this kind of pancake should be baked in an oven, but we don’t have that now, so we can only spread it in a pot.
When she watched the tutorial before, in addition to using the stove, there were also tutorials using an air fryer or oven.
An Qing felt that she would never be able to make the lasagna as crispy if she just used a pan.
Take the pan and brush a little bit of oil on it. An Qing put the pancakes in the pan one by one and spread them out, first using high heat, then turning to low heat and spreading them slowly.
Along with the licking of the flames, a scent of oil mixed with the aroma of wheat wafted out.
Mu Chen smelled the scent and looked over immediately.
An Qing flipped the pancake carefully.
Without a stove, the pancakes that should have puffed up remained flat, with no sign of puffing up at all.
An Qing didn't know how many minutes it would take to fry the dough, but she thought it wouldn't take too long.
She thought it was about time, so she took out the smallest pancake first.
The pancake was hot right out of the pan. She put it on the chopping board and cut it in half with a knife.
When I saw that it was cooked, I turned off the heat and took out all the pancakes.
"An Qing, are you feeling better now?" Mu Chen used to think that the smell of this thing was not that appetizing, but now when he smelled the wheat aroma coming from the cooked pancakes, he couldn't help swallowing.
An Qing cut the smallest one into four pieces, then picked up a piece and handed it to Mu Chen, "It's okay, try it."
Then, she picked up another piece and handed it to Tang Ming, "Captain Tang, you try it too."
Tang Ming took it and said, "Thank you."
Muchen couldn't wait to take a bite.
After a while, although it was still hot, it was actually edible. The small strips of dough on the outside were very crispy and squeaked when you bit into them, while the inside was relatively soft.
Mu Chen chewed it carefully. In fact, it didn't have the strong taste of a braised egg, nor the rich flavor of instant noodles, but it tasted better the more he chewed.
An Qing also picked up a piece and took a bite.
The outer layer of the crepe cake was quite crispy, but the texture was very different from the crepe cakes she had eaten before.
Not as delicious as the thousand-layer puff pastry.
It's not really a success.
However, it had been a long time since she had eaten pancakes. Although it was not very successful, An Qing still thought it was delicious and quickly finished a small piece.
She patted the residue on her hands and said, "Captain Tang, please call five people in to help knead the dough."
Tang Ming had finished eating, washed his hands, and went out to call people.
An Qing found it a little funny to see Mu Chen's eyes still fixed on the last piece. "Don't look at it anymore. Just take it and eat it."
Mu Chen didn't drink the nutrient solution just now. He was really hungry. After thanking him, he took the piece and ate it in three or two bites.
An Qing took out eight basins and started pouring flour into them.
This basin is not big enough, and it can only mix about four or five pounds of flour at most. Even if some flour needs to be left, the eight of them will need to mix it twice.
It’s not that An Qing is stupid and doesn’t know how to call more people over, but there are not enough basins.
Well, I'll talk to Wei Xunyi later and ask her to make some more pots for her, preferably some bigger ones.
The five members of the Fiery Team came in. An Qing took a look and found that they were all familiar. Ye Yu, Bai Wei, and Jiang Shui were all there, as well as Yun Cheng and Xiang Jiulai.
An Qing nodded at them, "Go wash your hands, wash them more, and come here after you're clean. Muchen, Captain Tang, you go wash your hands too."
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he also needed to knead the dough.
But since An Qing said so, he went. After all, An Qing was here, so he didn't have to worry about any danger because there were so many people here.
An Qing began to add water into the basin one by one, still little by little, stirring as she added. This time she watched carefully and found that the dough was a little drier than the first time.
Soon, water was added to all eight basins and the dough was formed.
An Qing held a basin and said, "Let's go. The kitchen is too narrow for the eight of us to move around. Let's do it outside."
As she spoke, she had already walked into the dining room with the basin in her arms, placed it on the table, and waited until everyone came over before saying, "First, grab the dough and press it down to form it into a dough. That's it..."
Tang Ming and Muchen had seen her knead dough before, and they got the hang of it quickly, especially Tang Ming, whose kneading movements were very forceful.
When An Qing looked over, she was a little skeptical. How could he be so skilled? Was it her who was teaching him, or was it him who was teaching her?
She looked at it again and felt that Tang Ming was obviously better at making dough than she was.
"That's how Captain Tang kneads the dough. After kneading it, just knead it like he does. Captain Tang does a great job. You can watch how he kneads it." An Qing sighed and started kneading the dough like Tang Ming did.
Tang Ming's movements were too fast, so smooth that An Qing reminded him, "Captain Tang, slow down a bit. Let everyone see how you knead it."
She also wanted to see it and try to learn it as soon as possible.
Tang Ming paused, nodded, and his kneading movements slowed down significantly.
An Qing was a little puzzled. Could a genius really be that good? Could he do it so well on his first try? Kneading dough wasn't difficult, it was just that a novice would be slower and more clumsy. Tang Ming had seen her knead dough before, and with his own strong hands-on skills, it was possible that he could knead dough so well.
Can……
What about rolling noodles?
Is it true that someone can roll out noodles so well on their first try, even using a coffee can instead of a rolling pin? Especially when it comes to rolling out a single, very thin and even sheet of dough.
Moreover, she felt that this person was somewhat familiar from the very beginning. Could it be that he was also a time traveler?
As soon as this outrageous idea came to mind, An Qing's heart skipped a beat. She stopped kneading the dough and stared at Tang Ming.
