Chapter 167: Fried Dumpling Skin
When Gu Xiaoyou heard this, he put down his sleeves in a pretentious manner and said deeply: "Oh, the past is like a cloud of smoke, I don't care anymore."
"That's good, you can stay in Chaoyang Kingdom with peace of mind. It's fate that you can overcome the calamity and come here." Mrs. Zhou comforted.
Gu Xiaoyou resisted the urge to laugh, cleared her throat and said, "I know, I've given up. Let's continue studying breakfast."
"Okay." Zhou responded obediently, showing a bit of respect for Gu Xiaoyou's attitude.
Gu Xiaoyou almost couldn't help laughing, and quickly took out his mobile phone: "I will put things out this time, don't be afraid, they are all recorded by treasures."
"Well, I'm not afraid anymore." Zhou said solemnly, looking at the phone with a hint of awe.
Gu Xiaoyou called up the video in a funny way. It seems that Sister Zhou will regard her mobile phone as a sacred object in the future.
Pressing the play button again, Zhou froze when she saw the figures and voices coming out of the phone, but thinking of Gu Xiaoyou's words, she mustered up the courage to look into the phone.
As she looked around, she found that the people inside were dressed a little strangely, but they had two eyes and one mouth just like her, and she gradually relaxed.
"To make food today, we need to prepare dumpling wrappers, flour, corn flour, eggs and various sauces..." The chef said a series of things, and the camera panned over the condiment bowl on the table, with subtitles playing next to it.
Gu Xiaoyou pressed the pause button: "Let's prepare the things we need to prepare first."
"Okay." Mrs. Zhou responded and began to rummage in the kitchen.
The eggs and two types of flour were quickly prepared, but the dumpling wrappers and sauce were not available and needed to be made fresh.
"Sister Zhou, you make the dumpling wrappers, and I'll make the sauce." Gu Xiaoyou took a look at the video and divided the work with Zhou.
"Okay, I'll make the dough right now." Zhou quickly scooped up a spoonful of flour, put it into a basin, sprinkled it with water and kneaded the dough.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at the sauces requested in the video, including sweet noodle sauce, soybean sauce, garlic chili sauce and red oil fermented bean curd, and felt a little worried.
She searched in the kitchen and found soybean paste, hot sauce, and fermented bean curd in the kitchen. Although it was not garlic chili sauce, she could make do with it.
"Why is there no sweet noodle sauce?" Gu Xiaoyou muttered and asked Ms. Zhou: "Sister Zhou, isn't there any roast duck in Chaoyang Kingdom?"
"Roast duck? No." Zhou replied without knowing why.
"Oh, that's okay." No wonder there is no sweet noodle sauce.
Gu Xiaoyou sighed. It seemed that she could only rely on the help of Baidu experts. She entered how to make sweet noodle sauce in the search bar, and a bunch of search results immediately appeared.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at a few and found the most reliable one to start making sweet noodle sauce.
"Twenty grams of white sugar, forty grams of flour, and appropriate amount of oil, salt, and soy sauce." Gu Xiaoyou looked at the spice column and prepared the ingredients.
"Forty grams, twenty grams, that's too accurate, I can do whatever I want."
Gu Xiaoyou took the sugar and flour from the clay pot based on his feeling, and prepared other things.
According to the steps found, first add water to flour to make a paste, then add sugar and soy sauce in sequence, and mix several things evenly.
Then light the stove, pour a little oil into the pot, and when the oil is slightly hot, pour the prepared batter and stir quickly.
There were some lumps in the batter during the mixing process, so Gu Xiaoyou added some cold water to it, and then kept stirring without daring to be careless until the batter turned into a slightly thick sauce, then he put down the spatula in his hand.
Gu Xiaoyou scooped up a little bit with a spoon, blew it, put it in his mouth and tasted: "Hey, it really tastes like that."
"Sister Zhou, try the sweet noodle sauce I made." Gu Xiaoyou handed the spoon to Zhou's mouth and looked at her with bright eyes.
Zhou opened her mouth and took a sip, tasted it carefully, and said in surprise: "It's sweet and quite delicious."
"Hey, I didn't expect that I succeeded in making it the first time. I'm really a little genius in cooking." Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows proudly.
Mrs. Zhou shook her head in a funny way, and without stopping, she quickly rolled out several thin dumpling wrappers.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoyou quickly prepared the sauce according to the subtitles in the video. She scooped up two spoons of sweet noodle sauce, then added a spoonful of soybean sauce, chili sauce and fermented bean curd, and stirred evenly.
"The dumpling wrappers, eggs, sauce, and flour are all here. Let's continue looking at the recipe." Gu Xiaoyou checked the ingredients they prepared and said to Mrs. Zhou.
"Yeah." Mrs. Zhou nodded, moved closer to Gu Xiaoyou, and turned her eyes to the phone.
I saw the chef on the phone talking while picking up a dumpling wrapper, placing it on the panel, dipping it in water, attaching another dumpling wrapper, and rolling it into thin slices.
"Sister Zhou, hurry up, let's watch and learn at the same time." Gu Xiaoyou urged.
Zhou nodded repeatedly, imitated the actions of the chef in the video, dipped the two dumpling skins together, and rolled them into thin slices with a rolling pin.
"Make a cut in the middle, then put it in hot oil and fry it." Gu Xiaoyou directed while watching the video.
"Okay, I'm going to heat up the pot right now." Mrs. Zhou obeyed and did as she was told, heating up the stove and pouring oil into the pot.
Gu Xiaoyou leaned over to take a look: "Too little, a little more."
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Zhou replied repeatedly, adding more oil. When the oil temperature came up, Mrs. Zhou put the thin noodles into the pot and fried them.
"Fry until golden brown and take out the pan. Make a few more and set aside." Gu Xiaoyou looked at the video and muttered: "You see what I said, put more oil."
"Everything you said is right." Mrs. Zhou responded perfunctorily and continued to prepare dumpling wrappers, frying five or six dumplings in a row before Gu Xiaoyou called to stop.
"Hehe, let me try to see if it tastes good." Gu Xiaoyou picked up a piece of steaming crisp and took a bite without blowing it.
The teeth and the dough made a crisp "click" sound when they touched each other. Gu Xiaoyou took a breath and said, "It's so delicious."
"My little ancestor, you don't want to brag about it," Zhou said angrily, suddenly feeling that whether Xiaoyou was a cultivator or not, she was still a sister who needed her care.
Mrs. Zhou figured this out, picked up the round fan in the kitchen, fanned the crisps for Gu Xiaoyou, and said dotingly: "I'll cool it for you before you eat it."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou grinned and took several bites in succession, making a clicking sound as he took in a mouthful of leftovers.
Mrs. Zhou quickly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and Gu Xiaoyou obediently stretched out her face for her to wipe, while passing half of the crisp in her hand to Mrs. Zhou's mouth.
"It's crispy and fragrant, try it."
Zhou opened her mouth and took a bite. She was shocked by the novel texture in her mouth and said, "I didn't expect the fried dumpling wrappers to be so delicious."
"That's the essence of this." Gu Xiaoyou raised his chin and said.
