"Ah?" Guli was a bit confused. He didn’t understand why Zheng Da needed him to explain making snacks, but since Master Qin said so, he must have his reasons. Guli nodded without any hesitation and began explaining.
He focused even more intently on Zheng Da’s hand movents.
"Master Zheng spreads the ham cubes very well. For the Four Happiness Rolls, the ham cubes mustn’t be too thick, nor too thin. This thin layer, where there’s a bit of gap between each piece, is the best state. This is also the status ntioned by Master Qin yesterday."
"The amount of sesa oil brushed is also just right, sticking on as a layer but not soaking into the dough excessively."
"Senior brother, did you see that? The starting move of the roll needs this arc. You have to control the position with your little finger. Every ti, you just casually move your little finger a bit, but this step has a purpose."
"Master Zheng rolls the main roll really well. Master Qin, look; his final product is extrely beautiful. You asked yesterday why your main roll looks strange. It’s because each roll of the Cloud Pattern is cumulative. If you can control the arc of each roll well, the end product will look like Master Zheng’s. But if there’s a problem every ti, the end product will look very odd."
"Senior brother, look, there’s no need to press it at the end. You don’t need to press at all."
"Little Zheng, look at the side of this Ruyi Roll right now. The proportion of scallions and ham is very beautiful, perfectly halved. In the end, the thickness of each layer is the sa. If you can achieve a bit more arc while rolling, you can also get this effect."
"Master Zheng’s reverse roll has a bit of an issue now."
"His arc was a bit large just now, but now it’s too small. The arc of the reverse roll should be more exaggerated than the main roll, but not too much, and especially shouldn’t be pressed. Ah, Master Zheng pressed it."
"This roll of Master Zheng’s also has a problem, but I’m not quite sure what the specific issue is. However, my master ntioned that no matter what thod is used to make the Cloud Pattern, the final product cannot be too puffy. Otherwise, the cut Cloud Pattern will always be deford."
"Master Zheng pressed it again."
"Though this press is fine, the reverse roll can be pressed slightly at the end."
Guli was simply a dedicated comntator, missing none of Zheng Da’s movents and not letting Zheng Da off.
Zheng Da didn’t mind at all, because he wasn’t even listening to what Guli was saying.
He was still lost in his own world.
But soone heard it.
Huang Shengli crossed his arms over his chest, watching Zheng Da make the Four Happiness Rolls and listening to Guli’s comntary. He smiled and said to Gong Liang, who had sohow snuck back into the kitchen:
"This setup is pretty good. Zheng Da teaching snacks with Guli’s comntary perfectly solves the problem of his clumsy speaking."
Gong Liang’s focus was entirely different: "When will Zheng Da’s Four Happiness Rolls go to steam?"
"I ate two Four Happiness Rolls made by Xiao Qin last night. I’ve been craving them all night."
"Not to ntion, although Xiao Qin’s Four Happiness Rolls are like flower rolls, they are genuinely delicious. They feel much tastier than the ones Zheng Da made back then."
"From the looks of it, he made quite a few; it should be going to steam anyti now." Huang Shengli said, smacking his lips, "You’ve made a bit hungry too."
"I haven’t eaten a Four Happiness Roll made by Zheng Da in years. That guy is too sensitive. He prefers to secretly make them at ho every New Year to eat them himself. If he can’t finish them, he secretly feeds them to the neighbor’s dog, making the poor dog so sick it ends up hospitalized with gastroenteritis. He won’t even spare us any, afraid we’d find out he’s still secretly making Four Happiness Rolls at ho."
"Tsk."
