Chapter 182： Teaching Pot Stickers (Tuesday/Friday)

At four in the morning, Feng Yifan had already woke up, because he had agreed with Lin Ruifeng today that he was going to teach him pot stickers next door, so he had to get up earlier.

Gently withdrew his hand from under his wife, then got up very lightly and covered his wife's quilt.

When he was about to go out, Feng Yifan still heard his wife's voice: "Don't call Ruoruo, it's too early now."

Knowing that his wife was still awakened by himself, Feng Yifan turned back to the bed and leaned in his wife’s ear and whispered: "Okay, I know, you sleep for a while. I'll wait until the other side is doing almost the same thing. Come over at 6 o'clock and call Ruoruo. ."

After listening to her husband's words, Su Ruoxi answered in a daze, then turned her head and went to sleep.

Feng Yifan lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead before leaving the room lightly.

After closing the door, Feng Yifan quietly listened to the movement after passing by the door of his mother's room. Make sure that the room is quiet, indicating that his daughter hasn't gotten up, so Feng Yifan hurriedly tiptoed downstairs.

After refreshing downstairs and putting on his clothes, Feng Yifan went out from the back door of the kitchen and went to the next door to shop the back door early.

He knocked on the door lightly, and after a while the door was opened from the inside, Lin Ruifeng had obviously been waiting.

Two people entered the door one after the other, and Feng Yifan saw that the old couple in the Lin family were already busy. This is also what most people who do early, will experience every day, get up early and be busy preparing.

Seeing Feng Yifan coming, Father Lin immediately smiled and said, "Yifan is here. Thank you Yifan for teaching so many things to Ruifeng."

Lin Mu also continued: "Yes, many people like that miscellaneous soy milk. Thank you Yifan for being so generous and teaching us such a precious secret recipe."

Feng Yifan listened and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin and Auntie, you are welcome. Actually, it's not a secret recipe, but just a little trick."

Father Lin then asked, "I heard Ruifeng say, are you coming over to teach him pot stickers today?"

Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, I remember that Uncle Lin and your family used to make pot stickers. Why didn't you do it later?"

Mother Lin said helplessly: "We just did it for a short time. The main reason was that the taste was not good, and there were not many people who bought it. Later, we didn't do it."

Father Lin also said: "Yes, the craftsmanship is not good, the potstickers made are a bit hard, and everyone doesn't like it very much."

Lin Ruifeng also boldly said at this time: "The potstickers my parents made before had a little hard skin and the fillings were not well seasoned. I didn't like them very much before, let alone sell them."

Feng Yifan nodded and smiled and said, "It's okay. I will teach you the whole process today, and then I will come here every morning. If you don't understand, please ask me if you don't understand."

Hearing this, the two elders of the Lin family looked at each other, both felt a little too troublesome for Feng Yifan.

Father Lin first said, "This is too much trouble for you, Yifan, how embarrassed you are to make us old couple like this."

Mother Lin also said: "Yes, Ruifeng only became a teacher. You have not learned from you for a few days, you always come to help us, I really don't know how to thank you."

Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, everyone is neighbors, and when I didn't come back, my father-in-law also thanked you for your help, and now Ruifeng is my apprentice, it's nothing for me to help you."

The two old men of the Lin family looked at each other. They really didn't know what to say?

In fact, Feng Yifan helped the Lin family in this way, mainly because the Lin family helped his wife a lot after the accident in the father-in-law's restaurant in the memory of his previous life. Even before Feng Yifan's parents came to pick up her 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 be grateful for helping the Lin family.

However, at that time Lin Ruifeng had been left alone because no one was in charge, and he had become a complete street bastard.

Even though the two elders of the Lin family were later picked up by the eldest daughter, the younger son still made them feel distressed.

So in this life, after seeing Lin Ruifeng's excessive behavior that morning, after Feng Yifan organized him, he decided to help the Lin family well and lead Lin Ruifeng on the right path.

Feng Yifan was also unambiguous, and started to teach directly, and he explained all the details and skills he had mastered.

From kneading the noodles to preparing the fillings, to how to fry the pot stickers, when to add water starch, and when to add oil for the second time, I told the Lin family very carefully.

And the old couple of the Lin family, listening to Feng Yifan's explanation and seeing his skilled production, were also a little surprised by his craftsmanship.

"Uncle, aunt, and Ruifeng, you must remember that the noodles must be half-hot, add half of the boiling water and half of the cold water, first stir them into cotton wool, and then mix them together."

Seeing Feng Yifan's proficient technique, Lin's father was also a little surprised and said, "It turns out that this is the case. No wonder we didn't make the skin well."

Then before mixing the fillings, Feng Yifan made another special preparation.

"Uncle, aunt, and Ruifeng, I will teach you two different fillings, one is pork, shrimp, corn, and the other is beef filling. Before blending these two fillings, you need to prepare an oil."

Next, Feng Yifan also carefully explained, without any reservation, told the Lin family of the two oils.

Pork, shrimp and corn fillings need to use green onion and **** oil, and in addition to green onions and ginger, some onions must be fried together.

"Remember, don't use high fire, low fire slowly explode until the fragrance comes out."

The beef filling needs to be added with oil, which is fried in a frying pan with ingredients such as "cumin, bay leaf, and fragrant fruit".

"This spice must be soaked in water before frying, so as to ensure that it will not be fried during frying, otherwise it will be burnt and the oil will have a bitter taste."

It can be said that Feng Yifan really told the Lin family every detail very carefully.

When the oil is ready, the process of mixing stuffing is relatively simple, and it is not much different from most stuffed dumplings. But when the oil is filtered and added, the flavor of the filling is improved a lot at once.

The Lin family was also prepared, took out the pan that was used to make pot stickers, and watched Feng Yifan make them together.

When packing, Feng Yifan only kneaded the upper opening, but left a small opening on both sides, and did not completely seal the opening of the pot sticker.

"This leaves a small mouth on each side, so that when frying, the water vapor will evaporate slightly, so that the filling can be steamed."

The pot stickers were wrapped one by one, and the Lin family also worked together.

Speaking of rolling leather bags and pot stickers, the Lin family is still very quick. After all, Lin Ruifeng’s parents have done early for many years, and they are still very skilled in rolling leather and bags. On the contrary, Lin Ruifeng seems a little clumsyLin When the father saw that his son was still a little clumsy, he shook his head helplessly: "You, I blame your mother for being too spoiled in the past. Now you can't even package pot stickers so simply.

Hearing what his father said, Lin Ruifeng also lowered his head unconsciously, obviously feeling very disappointed.

Feng Yifan hurriedly said: "Uncle Lin, don't you always say Ruifeng like that. He has worked very hard now. I believe that he has studied hard and will definitely do better in the future."

When Mr. Lin heard Feng Yifan say this, she nodded and said, "That's right, you old man, you are not as patient as Yifan."

After wrapping the dumplings, I went to the pan and started to fry. Feng Yifan also gave meticulous instructions on the firepower and how far to fry.

And when the pot was covered and fried, Feng Yifan also prepared a pot of starch water: "This starch water is made with a ratio of 1:5 between water and potato starch."

Then Feng Yifan opened the lid of the pot to pour the starch water down when the potsticker was almost golden on one side.

After it is hot again, open it again and sprinkle some sesame seeds, and then turn the potstickers over. Cover the pan for the last time and fry it for a while.

Feng Yifan uncovered the lid of the pot and used a long shovel to shovel out the pot stickers one after another and put them on the prepared plate.

The front of the potsticker is slightly yellow and sesame seeds, and the bottom is a coke and crispy crust. It looks really beautiful, and the fillings and sesame seeds are fried and fragrant, which is really attractive.

After taking it out, Feng Yifan glanced at the time, handed the plate to Lin Ruifeng and said, "You guys have a taste first, I want to go back quickly."

After saying that, without waiting for the Lin family to ask, Feng Yifan hurried out from the back door to the door of Su Ji's back kitchen. After entering the door, without daring to delay the slightest, he quickly rushed out of the back kitchen and ran to the second floor.
