Most fabric dishes go through five processes: selecting noodles, kneading noodles, waking noodles, slipping strips and stretching noodles.

First of all, when choosing noodles, you generally have to choose fresh high-gluten flour, because the main reason is that only fresh high-gluten flour and high protein content can ensure the prerequisites for the successful production of ramen.

When it comes to choosing noodles, whether Qin Shou or Qi Tianyou chose high-gluten flour, there is nothing to say.

Next is "kneading". Kneading can be the basis of fabric cooking and is the key. The first thing to note is the temperature of the water. Generally, warm water is required in winter and cold water is used in other seasons.

The temperature is easily affected by natural temperature. Through the different water temperatures when kneading, the temperature of the kneading dough is always maintained at 30c, because the protein in the flour has the highest water absorption.

Secondly, add an appropriate amount of water and ash when kneading the dough, because both can improve the gluten production rate and quality in the dough.

In the world where Qin Shou was originally located, there were also words like "three times of water, three times of ashes, nine times of eighty-one times of rubbing".

Of course, the "ash" mentioned here actually refers to alkali.

"The two contestants put edible salt and alkali in the flour, which not only ensures the fragrance of the dough, but also makes the noodles taste more vigorous. It is summer now, and choosing cold water and noodles is also the best choice." One of the judges nodded as they looked at the two of them.

Next is "wake the dough". Wake up, let the dough be placed for a period of time, and the purpose is to promote the production of gluten. Placement can also allow proteins that do not absorb water to sufficiently absorb water to improve the production and quality of gluten.

Now Qin Shou and Qi Tianyou have gone through the three processes of selecting faces, kneading faces, and awakening faces. Now we have entered the fourth step, which is also the most critical step, "sliding the streets".

The so-called "slide strip" refers to a young man who is strong first pounding, kneading, stretching, and throwing the dough on the panel, holding both ends of the strip with both hands, lifting it on the chopping board and smashing it hard.

After elongating the strip, fold the two ends in half, and continue to hold the two ends and beat them. Repeat this repeatedly, the purpose is to adjust the arrangement order of gluten proteins in the dough, so that the disorderly protein molecules are arranged into a long chain, which is called straight gluten in the industry.

Finally, roll it into long strips, and tie it into strips of 20 mm thick and chopsticks, or roll it into round strips.

It seems very simple to say here, but in fact it is a technical procedure that tests the pastry chefs the most. It not only requires enough strength, but also requires more skills.

At this time, this process is being carried out by Qi Tianyou.

I saw his hands moving on the cooking table, with a very skillful speed, not much dragging the mud. In a few minutes, he only saw him performing the steps of "pounding, kneading, stretching, and falling", and only saw the flour balls being rolled into round strips.

After completing this step, the last step is naturally the key "stretching noodles".

Qi Tianyou held both ends of the round bar in his hand, and his arms were evenly accelerated and stretched outwards. Then he saw him pull it

Fold the two ends in half, place the two ends in the fingers of one hand at the same time, hook the middle finger of the other hand to the other end, turn the palm of your hand upwards, so that the noodles form a noose-shaped shape, and stretch the hands to both sides at the same time.

Then I saw him stretching the noodles, put one end of his right hand on his left finger, and continued to hook the other end with his right hand.

The speed of stretching was very fast, and the speed of his ramen was almost invisible with the naked eye.

After taking this step by step, it is called a button.

However, after Qi Tianyou pulled down a "dunk", he did not stop.

"One button...two buttons, three buttons!"

"Hey, Qi Tianyou didn't stop after pulling three buttons. What are he going to do?"

At this time, Lin Jingbai, who was sitting at the reviewing table, couldn't help but stand up and said in a lost voice: "I understand, the dragon beard noodles that Qi Tianyou wants to make is the most difficult to stretch noodles!"

After these words, everyone was shocked!

"Oh oh oh, this is so amazing. Qi Tianyou stretched the noodles to seven buttons, and now the noodles in his hand have changed from one to 128, which is so amazing!" The host exclaimed in such anger.

Some people who don’t know much about noodles production can’t help but wonder when they hear these words. They don’t understand what the so-called “button” means.

So, Lin Jingbai rushed to the identity of the explanation and explained: "The so-called 'buckle' means folding the two ends of the face in half, so that the number of lines will increase while the surface becomes thinner. This process is called 'buckle'.

In the process of constantly folding faces, the number of noodles will also increase by 2 times. Now Qi Tianyou has stretched it to seven buttons, which is to the seventh power of 2, which means that one noodles have become 128!"

Although it sounds very difficult, it is very difficult to make, because as the deduction increases, the difficulty of stretching the noodles will increase geometrically, and the more difficult it becomes.

"Well, Teacher Yan Yun, among the current disciplines that can be checked, how much can you pull the face to the maximum?" Lin Jingbai asked Yan Yun, who was also a judge beside him.

Yan Yun thought for a while and said, "I remember it was 20 buttons, which was made by a pastry master."

Feeling the surprised gaze of Qi Tianyou by everyone around him, Qin Shou, who was kneading the flour with his head down, said nothing.

"Does the dragon beard noodles? I remember that A Fei made the dragon beard noodles during the special chef assessment. At that time, the number of deductions he pulled out was - 20! So, did A Fei already have the strength of the world's master level at that time?" Qin Shou felt a little funny in his heart, and suddenly felt a little ridiculed.

In his previous life, not only the palace chef Lan Feihong, who could make dragon beard noodles around him, but also the mainland's first dough master, who could also pull the dragon beard noodles to 20 buttons.

Of course, there is also Logan, who is called the "Dough King". When he was in the dark cuisine world, someone saw him pulling it to 22!
