Chapter 194 The Difficult Flower Carving
Every customer who orders a new product has a different way of eating fried dough sticks. Some break the two halves and eat them separately, and some eat them directly. .

In short, there are various ways to eat, each of which is different, and customers can eat as they please.

Everyone had happy smiles on their faces, and they all praised the new product and Bai Xiaobai constantly.

"Boss Bai, this porridge and deep-fried dough sticks are really delicious, a perfect combination." The uncle said frankly to the little friend who came with him while eating the food.

The little friend smiled and said, "Boss Bai's delicacies are all high-quality goods, and this time's fried dough sticks are no exception. They are so delicious, and I don't know how many times better than the ones sold by hawkers outside."

The uncle joked, "Didn't you just say that fried dough sticks are added with washing powder, waste oil, and urea? You are really enjoying what you eat now."

The young man denied, "Did I say that? I mean those unscrupulous vendors outside. I can definitely trust the fritters made by Boss Bai."

In fact, Bai Xiaobai did not disappoint them either. He really has a clear conscience in terms of ingredients and additives for the 99 yuan special golden butter sticks.

Milk-flavored flour is a variety of flour specially provided by the leaders of the Great Hall of the People. It is impossible for ordinary people outside to buy it. As for the top-level high-activity dry yeast powder, it is the only one in the world.

Because the ingredients are exclusive, it can be said that the price is reasonable.

In addition, these ingredients, under Bai Xiaobai's careful cooking, have achieved extremely delicious taste.

Because it is really delicious, it is also expensive.

In short, the new product is priced at 99, which is definitely worth the money!
Lan Weihao, who was sitting in the corner of the shop, thought so too. He couldn't stop eating fried dough sticks and porridge right now.

Although he didn't say anything, his heart was shocked at the moment.

Lan Weihao usually doesn't buy fritters made by outside vendors. If he wants to eat fritters, he usually buys them at KFC.

KFC's breakfast has launched a reassuring no-alum fried dough stick, which costs three yuan a piece.Every time Lan Weihao ordered porridge, he would serve it with a non-flavored fried dough stick.

The taste is indeed good, but it can only be regarded as a kind of fried food at best, and it cannot be compared with the deep-fried dough sticks in the mouth now.

Now the special golden butter sticks in your mouth are the real food that deserves it.

The deep-fried dough sticks are crispy and soft. This kind of taste is very special, and it is not difficult to bite. Even the elderly with bad teeth can eat it.

The fritters are salty and delicious after entering the mouth, full of fragrance.The oily aroma of the fried dough sticks has a faint aroma of peanuts. Based on Lan Weihao's many years of food experience, the fried dough sticks must be fried with high-quality peanut oil.

As for why the fritters are so fluffy, according to the biochemistry knowledge of Lan Weihao High School, it should be the yeast used to make dough, but he doesn't know which brand it is.However, judging from the top fluffiness of the fried dough sticks, the yeast powder for the dough must be top quality.

Of course, he didn't know that Bai Xiaobai used dry yeast powder with a yeast activity as high as 99.999999999%, which can leaven the dough to the extreme and make the special golden butter sticks show an unparalleled taste. There is no dry yeast powder in the world that can match it.

Lan Weihao finished a deep-fried dough stick in five or six mouthfuls. He couldn't help sucking his fingers, and muttered: This deep-fried dough stick is not enough at all. It would be great if I could eat another one.

However, the more ancient and unchanging rules of Xiaobai Restaurant are there: one person can only consume one serving of all delicacies per day.

This rule has not changed since the launch of the Supreme Tea Egg, and no one has the right to break it.

After Lan Weihao ate his perfect meal, he curled his lips and looked at Bai Xiaobai with reverence on his face.

Boss Bai is probably the reincarnation of the God of Cookery, and his cooking skills are really good!

Lan Weihao thought so.

At this moment, after the old man at the same table with Lan Weihao finished the last bite of fried dough sticks, he extended his thumbs up and gave Bai Xiaobai a thumbs up, "Little master, I am really convinced that your fried dough sticks are 99 yuan a piece, they are really delicious gone."

In the face of many compliments from customers, Bai Xiaobai accepted it calmly in his heart, but his face was very calm and composed.

Because no amount of praise can be proud, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

In addition to the praise customers, there are of course some customers who humbly ask Bai Xiaobai for advice.

A well-dressed middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask Bai Xiaobai after eating the fried dough sticks, "Boss, your fried dough sticks are delicious, do you have any special method, can you tell me about it, I'll learn from it too. My kids like fried dough sticks very much, but I can’t make them well at home, and I dare not buy them from stalls outside.”

In addition to middle-aged women, a married female white-collar worker next to her also said, "Boss, tell me a few tricks, I will learn from them."

In fact, every time a new product is launched, customers will ask about the specific method of food.

Rao is that every customer is sincerely asking for advice, but when it comes to the food system, it is naturally impossible for Bai Xiaobai to explain clearly.

His explanation is both sincere and simple and decisive "Sorry, this is original, confidential."

The customer was rejected by Bai Xiaobai, but they didn't say anything. They all felt that Bai Xiaobai was very principled and had his own personality.

After lunch, Han Wei left in a hurry after delivering the last batch of customers.

Bai Xiaobai was alone in the shop, he half closed the shutter, fed Xiao Hei first, and then had lunch.

After lunch, after washing the tableware used by the guests in batches in the dishwasher, he had a rare free period. Instead of taking a lunch break on the second floor, he went to the glass kitchen to get a carving knife and sliced ​​carrots , sitting on the dining chair outside, and began to practice flower carving.

Because he has been busy these two days, Bai Xiaobai has no time to practice this trick at all.

After absorbing the golden characters of the second-level flower carving of Ghost Ax and God Carver, Bai Xiaobai has mastered all the keys of flower carving.

Flower carving is not simpler than lettering carving. It contains too many types of flowers, and the structure of each flower is different, so the carving knife methods used are also different.

Bai Xiaobai intends to practice from the simplest rose flower.

Chinese roses are not only beautiful in flower shape, but also relatively simple in petal structure, which is easy to practice flower carving.

Bai Xiaobai picked up the carving knife neatly, and began to cut the carrots up and down.

First remove the excess part of the carrot, and simply cut it into a frustum shape, similar to a closed bowl.

Immediately, Bai Xiaobai began to use the straight knife method taught by the system to carve rose petals from the outside to the inside.

Carve the outermost five petals of the rose flower first.

Bai Xiaobai has a foundation in calligraphy, so he quickly mastered letter carving, but now that he has carved a few knives, he finds that flower carving is obviously much more difficult than letter carving.

Flower carving requires the sculptor to have a deep understanding of the structure of the flower shape, so that the knife can be well known and sharp.

In other words, if you have the foundation of flower painting or flower botany, it will be of great benefit to learning flower carving.

However, Bai Xiaobai failed in art from childhood to adulthood.He drew an egg, the art teacher said it was the moon, he drew a cabbage, the art teacher recognized it as sauerkraut...

It is not easy for Bai Xiaobai to practice flower carving without the slightest foundation in flower painting.

In his first trial practice, he cut off a large piece of a petal when he was carving the outermost petals of rose flowers.

The first rose flower carving failed, Bai Xiaobai was not discouraged, he turned into a little white rabbit in seconds, and directly ate five or six mouthfuls of the failed carrot work.

Carrots are rich in carotene, which is a semi-finished product of vitamin A, so many experts in Western medicine recommend stir-fried carrots with pork belly, so that carrots are easily soluble in oil, which is conducive to human body absorption.

However, our ancestors of traditional Chinese medicine recommend eating carrots raw, or squeezing them into juice.This can not only nourish the kidney and strengthen yang, but also nourish the liver and improve eyesight.

Bai Xiaobai prefers the latter.When he was in high school, because of the heavy workload, his eyes would be dry and his vision would be blurred every time he finished his homework. At this time, his mother would freshly squeeze a small glass of carrot juice with honey for him to drink.

Carrot honey juice is really not very tasty, and it is a bit pungent, but it still has the effect of improving eyesight.

After three years in Bai Xiaobai's high school, more than half of the classmates in his class wore thick glasses, but he was an exception. His eyesight was always ranked first in the class, and his naked-eye vision reached a terrifying 5.2. He envied the whole class. Constantly learn from Bai Xiaobai the secret of maintaining eyesight.

Of course, because carrots are rich in vitamin A, it is best not to eat too much raw at one time, just the right amount.

Bai Xiaobai was currently eating carrots to supplement his eyesight, while concentrating on continuing to practice flower carving.

The second rose flower still had the same problem, and the petals were cut off again, so Bai Xiaobai could only continue to be a little white rabbit.

The third……

the fourth……

Failure is the mother of success!
Bai Xiaobai's will is very strong, he is a bit of a dead-end person, and he believes that as long as he keeps practicing repeatedly, the flower carving will definitely improve.
