Chapter 182 Teaching Potstickers (2/5)
Feng Yifan woke up at four o'clock in the morning. Because he had agreed with Lin Ruifeng today that he would go to the next door to teach him how to make pot stickers, he had to get up earlier.
Gently pull your hand from under your wife, then get up very lightly, and cover your wife's quilt.
When he was about to go out, Feng Yifan still heard his wife's voice: "Don't call Ruoru, it's too early."
Knowing that his wife was still awakened by him, Feng Yifan turned around and returned to the bed, leaned in his wife's ear and whispered: "Okay, I know, you sleep for a while, I'll do the same thing over there, come and call Ruoru at six o'clock."
After listening to her husband's words, Su Ruoxi responded in a daze, then turned her head and continued to sleep.
Feng Yifan lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead before leaving the room gently.
After closing the door and passing by the mother's room, Feng Yifan listened quietly to the movement inside. He made sure that the room was very quiet, which meant that his daughter had not gotten up. Feng Yifan quickly tiptoed downstairs.
After washing downstairs, put on his clothes, Feng Yifan went out from the back door of the kitchen and came to the back door of the breakfast shop next door.
He knocked on the door gently, and after a while, the door was opened from the inside. Lin Ruifeng was obviously waiting for a long time.
When the two of them entered the door one after another, Feng Yifan saw that the Lin family’s old couple was already busy. This is what most people do breakfast and experience every day, so they have to get up early and get busy and prepare.
Seeing Feng Yifan coming, Lin's father immediately smiled and said, "Yifan is here. Thank you really for Yifan for teaching Ruifeng so many things."
Lin's mother also continued: "Yes, many people like that miscellaneous soy milk. Thank you very much for being so generous and teaching us such a precious secret recipe."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, please don't be polite. Actually, it's not a secret recipe, it's just a little trick."
Lin's father continued to ask: "I heard from Ruifeng that you are coming here to teach him how to make pot stickers today?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, I remember that Uncle Lin's family also made pot stickers before, so why didn't they do it later?"
Lin's mother said helplessly: "We only made it for a short time. The main reason is that the taste is not good, and not many people bought it. Later, we stopped doing it."
Lin's father also said: "Yes, the craftsmanship is not good, and the pot stickers he made are a bit tough, and no one likes to eat them very much."
Lin Ruifeng also said boldly at this time: "The pot stickers made by my parents before were slightly hard, and the fillings and seasoning were not good. I didn't like it very much before, let alone selling them."
Feng Yifan nodded and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you the whole process today, and then I'll come here every morning. If you don't know anything about uncle and aunt, just ask me."
Hearing this, the two old men of the Lin family looked at each other, feeling that it was too troublesome to Feng Yifan.
Lin's father said first, "This is too troublesome to you, Yifan, how can we old couple be so embarrassed if you make us like this?"
Lin's mother continued, "Yes, Ruifeng has just been a teacher. You have been here to help us before learning from you for a few days. I really don't know how to thank you."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, everyone is a neighbor, and when I didn't come back, my father-in-law also thanks to your help. In addition, Ruifeng is my apprentice now, so it's nothing I can do to help you."
The two old men from the Lin family looked at each other, and they really didn't know what to say?
In fact, Feng Yifan helped the Lin family like this mainly because in his previous memory, after the Lin family had an accident in their father-in-law's restaurant, they helped their wife a lot as soon as possible. Even before Feng Yifan's parents came to pick up their daughter-in-law, Lin Ruifeng's mother took care of Su Ruoxi in the hospital for a long time.
Later in his previous life, Feng Yifan also found the Lin family, hoping to help the Lin family with some gratitude.
However, at that time, Lin Ruifeng was left alone because no one cared about it and had become a complete street gangster.
Even though the two old men of the Lin family were later taken away by their eldest daughter, their younger son still made them feel heartbroken.
So in this life, when I saw Lin Ruifeng's extreme behavior that morning, Feng Yifan decided to help the Lin family well and guide Lin Ruifeng to the right path after organizing him.
Feng Yifan was not vague and started teaching directly, and told all the details and techniques he mastered.
From kneading, to mixing the filling, to how to use the frying pan, when to add water starch, and when to refuel the second time, we all told the Lin family very carefully.
The old couple in the Lin family, listening to Feng Yifan's explanation and watching his skillful production, were also a little surprised by his craftsmanship.
"Uncle, aunt, and Ruifeng, you must remember that the noodles must be half-calm, add half of boiling water and half of cold water, stir into cotton wool separately, and then mix together."
Seeing Feng Yifan's skillful technique, Lin's father was also a little surprised and said, "So that's the case. No wonder we are not good at doing it."
Then, before mixing the filling, Feng Yifan made another special preparation.
"Uncle, aunt, Ruifeng, I will teach you two different fillings, one is pork, shrimp, corn, and the other is beef filling. Before mixing these two fillings, you need to prepare a portion of oil."
Next, Feng Yifan also explained seriously and told the Lin family two oils without any reservation.
Pork, shrimp, corn filling requires green onion, ginger oil, and in addition to green onion, ginger, some onions should be added to fry them together.
"Remember, don't use high heat, slowly fry it until the fragrance comes out."
The beef filling needs to be added with oil, which is mixed with "cumin, bay leaves, glutinous fruit" and other ingredients and fryed in a pan.
"Before frying this spice, you must soak it in water first, so that you can ensure that it will not be fried during frying, otherwise it will be burnt and there will be bitter taste in the oil."
It can be said that Feng Yifan really told the Lin family very carefully and carefully every detail.
When the oil is ready, the process of mixing the filling is relatively simple, which is not much different from the filling of most buns and dumplings. However, when the oil is filtered and added, the aroma of the filling is greatly improved.
The Lin family was also prepared, and took out the pan that had made pot stickers before, and then watched Feng Yifan make them together.
When packing, Feng Yifan just pinched the holes on it, but a small hole was left on both sides and did not completely seal the pot sticker holes.
"This way, a small mouth is left on each side, so that the water vapor can evaporate slightly when frying, so that the filling can be steamed."
The pot stickers were wrapped one by one, and the Lin family also started together.
When it comes to rolling the dough and wrapping the pot stickers, the Lin family is still very quick in this kung fu. After all, Lin Ruifeng’s parents have made breakfast for many years, and they are still very skilled in rolling the dough and wrapping the dough, but Lin Ruifeng seems a little clumsy.
Seeing that his son was still a little clumsy, Lin's father shook his head helplessly: "You, it's all your fault that your mother used to be too spoiled you, but now you can't even make such a simple sticker."
When Lin Ruifeng heard his father's words, he unconsciously lowered his head, obviously feeling very disappointed.
Feng Yifan quickly said, "Uncle Lin, don't always say that Ruifeng. He has worked very hard now. I believe that he will definitely do better and better in the future."
When Lin's mother heard Feng Yifan say this, she nodded and said, "That's right, you old man, just not as patient as Yifan."
After wrapping the pot stickers, they put them in the pot and started frying. Feng Yifan also gave detailed instructions on the firepower and how much they fry.
And when covering the pot and frying, Feng Yifan also mixed a pot of starch water: "This starch water is prepared in a ratio of 1 to 5 water to potato starch."
Then, when the side of the pot sticker is almost golden, Feng Yifan opened the lid of the pot and drizzled the starch water.
After the heat is heated again, open it again and sprinkle some sesame seeds, then turn the pot paste a little. The last time you cover the pot and fry it a little, it will be finished.
Feng Yifan uncovered the lid of the pot, used a long shovel to shovel the pot stickers one by one, and placed them on the prepared plate.
The front of the pot sticker is covered with yellow and sesame seeds, and the bottom is a crispy and crispy crust. It looks really beautiful, and the filling and sesame are fried and fragrant, which is really tempting.
After taking it out, Feng Yifan took a look at the time, handed the plate to Lin Ruifeng and said, "You guys try it first, I want to go back quickly."
After saying that, without waiting for the Lin family to ask, Feng Yifan quickly went out of the back door and turned to the door of Su Ji's kitchen. After entering the door, he did not dare to delay at all, so he quickly rushed out of the kitchen and ran to the second floor.
