Chapter 221 220. Make delicious food again-gluten!

“There is a signal! There are signals from other shelters!”

Lola’s voice suddenly sounded from the horn of the shelter.

Laura is Anton’s daughter, one of the survivors of the small town. She joined the shelter with Anton and others before, but because of her weakness, she was in a coma for a period of time, and then officially joined after she became sober.

Her skill is piano and she has certain educational ability, so the course she is now in charge of is music class. See clearly, it’s a music lesson, not a piano lesson.

In terms of music theory, Laura also has a certain level, which is more appropriate to teach music knowledge. But music lessons can only be regarded as hobby classes in the shelter at present, with an average of only one session in five days, so when there is no class, she will also go to the broadcast room to help. In fact, there are no full-time personnel waiting in the broadcasting room today.



It’s mainly about broadcasting. It’s important to say that it’s really important, but most shelters cannot be used, so if you want to find other survivors by broadcasting, it’s really too difficult, especially now that it’s still a nuclear bomb. This is even more difficult in the later era.

Therefore, although An Kai is pinning his hopes on the broadcasting system and hoping to be able to connect with other shelters… But there is one thing to say, to what extent he can do it, he has no bottom in his own heart.

And over time, he gradually gave up the idea of ​​communicating with other people through broadcasting.

Because the possibility is really getting lower and lower.

When the nuclear explosion just happened, the broadcasting system was completely unusable. If it weren’t for the dense steel bars in the walls of his shelter, he estimated that he would have to protect all the electronic equipment. Even he, who has the system, hangs like this, let alone the others. It is extremely difficult to survive. They want to protect a whole set of broadcasting equipment, and have the ability to live to the present, and also broadcast broadcasting… Is there such a person? It is estimated that there will be, and those large shelters should have such capabilities.

But there are probably not many people who can really do it.

After all, considering the main types of broadcasting, in this era, almost all are restricted.

The most common of these is ground waves, which are electric waves that propagate along the surface of the planet. During the propagation process, the electric wave is absorbed by the ground, so the propagation distance is not far. The higher the frequency, the greater the ground absorption, so when shortwave and ultrashort waves propagate along the ground, the distance is relatively close, generally no more than 100 kilometers, while the medium wave propagation distance is relatively long. The advantage is that it is less affected by the climate, the signal is stable, and the communication reliability is high.

The second type is the electric wave propagated by the reflection of the ionosphere in the atmosphere, called sky waves, or ionospheric reflection waves. The transmitted radio waves are reflected by the ionosphere more than 70-80 kilometers from the ground to the receiving location, and their propagation distance is relatively long, generally more than 1,000 kilometers. The disadvantage is that it is greatly affected by the ionospheric climate and the propagation signal is very unstable. The short-wave frequency band is the best frequency band for sky-wave propagation. The short-wave single-sideband radio stations equipped by fishing vessels are equipment that uses sky-wave propagation for long-distance communication.

The third type is a space linear wave, a radio wave that propagates in a straight line from a launching site to a receiving site in space, also known as a linear wave or line-of-sight wave. The propagation distance is the line-of-sight range, which is only tens of kilometers. The walkie-talkies and radars equipped with fishing vessels are all equipment that uses space wave propagation to communicate.

Almost all of these three broadcasting methods have been greatly affected in this era of radioactive dust all over the sky.

To be honest, An Kai doesn’t know what kind of band can be used to transmit information smoothly in this situation. Anyway, the broadcasting equipment he made with the system can accept almost all types of band signals, so he is still running. The broadcast system is completely in the mentality of having a shot. Anyway, the machine is there, it is nothing more than a bit of electricity, and he has long been hopeful about whether it can really receive the signal.

However, he received a signal today, and An Kai’s whole person was stunned for a moment before reacting violently.

Without saying anything, he immediately rushed out of the canteen and ran all the way to the broadcasting room on the first floor.

Mary was already waiting here at this time.

“Are you sure the signal?”An Kai asked, strode into the broadcasting room.

It was Lola who was sitting in the broadcasting room. She had stood up at this moment, and saw An Kai entering the door, and immediately handed him the earphone in her hand.

“I’m sure, the signal direction is more than 120 kilometers to the southwest…”

“map.”

An Kai stretched out his hand while talking.

Mary immediately escaped with a provincial map and laid it out in front of An Kai.

“One hundred and twenty kilometers…”

An Kai flicked his finger on the map and quickly locked the approximate signal location.

“Jerton City, a county-level city, a tourist city…”

At the same time, there was a prickling sound in the ears, and a somewhat vague sound came out again.

“This is… shelter… request… assistance… we are… short of… can’t keep going… please… help…”

The sound was intermittent.

Obviously, the external environment has a great influence on the broadcast signal.

This is because the broadcasting system of Ankai shelter is powerful enough to capture these signals. If it is replaced with other shelters, even if there is a broadcasting system, it is almost impossible to capture the signals. Or even if you can catch it, you can’t hear the sound inside.

While listening to the sound in the earphones, An Kai also looked at the display of the broadcaster.

There is a radar chart above, the direction of the locked signal source is southwest, and the approximate distance of the signal has been marked on it.

He doesn’t know whether the broadcast system in reality has similar capabilities, or whether professional equipment for capturing broadcast signals has similar capabilities. Anyway, the broadcast system provided by the system has this ability, which greatly facilitates Ankai.

Of course, the signal direction is not a big problem, but if the distance…can’t be sure that it is exactly 120 kilometers, it may be farther or closer, but if you look in this direction, as long as the other party can continue to release the broadcast signal, Then you can definitely find it. It’s just that Ankai has a little doubt, why hasn’t anyone been broadcasting for so long before? Why hasn’t a broadcast signal appeared until now?

If it is said that after the nuclear bomb has washed the ground, everyone has been trying to avoid the radiation dust for a long time, he can understand.

Before the nuclear bomb washes the ground? Why has no one ever sent a broadcast signal?

An Kai can’t figure it out, so he is a little hesitant now, is this so-called distress signal, is it a trap to fall to the ground?

Will someone deliberately choose such a time to release such a broadcast, attract some kind people to come to rescue, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack or something… It’s not impossible!

Moreover, the current plan of the shelter is very full, and Herto’s strategy is right in front of him. To be honest, An Kai is powerless even if he has the intention.

He took off his headphones.

“Continue to capture the signal, continue to pay attention, record the time and related information, including all the content of the distress, but do not make any response.”

An Kai decided to wait and see for a while.

If the other party disappears without a trace during this period of time, it can only mean that the other party’s life is bad, and he is responsible for the entire shelter, and it is impossible to send someone there because of such a distress signal. Whether it is a trap or a real call for help, Ankai must first ensure that there is no problem with his own plan before he has the intention to save others. If there is still information coming from the other side after the end of Herto’s Raiders, the shelter that will be expanded again at that time can send some people over to take a look.

When the strategy is over, the number of people in the shelter will surely usher in an explosive growth, and it won’t be too distressing even if some people are lost. For now, forget it.

“okay, I get it.”

Laura nodded, put on the earphones, and sat back again.

An Kai put away the map and walked back with Mary.

On the way, Mary raised her doubts, An Kai briefly said the reason for own, Mary thought about it carefully, and said nothing more.

Since An Kai already has her own idea, Mary will of course fully support it.

As for the others… he doesn’t need to explain. In fact, he doesn’t even need to explain to Mary. Who makes him the leader?

When they came to the elevator door, the two separated temporarily.

Mary went to the control center, and now the control center was moved to the first floor by Ankai. At the moment when the main gates were all sealed, the safety factor on the first floor was still very high. The location of the control center is closer to the central axis of the mountain, and the surrounding rock layers are thicker. Even if someone bombards them with missiles, it is difficult to affect the control center.

On the other hand, An Kai took the elevator and returned to the restaurant to continue to check the dishes for today’s festive banquet.

Because it is a buffet, dishes that are too soupy are not suitable.

An Kai did not interfere too much with western food. After all, although he is a junior chef, when he acquires the skills, he prefers Chinese food rather than Western food. In addition, he doesn’t really understand the taste of the locals. I’ve been getting along for a while, but I’ve left it to the chef to discuss and discuss the western food arrangements. Including Emma, ​​there are a total of two half-cookers, of which Emma counts as half. Discussions between them are much more convenient than forced arrangements on Ankai’s side.

Ankai is only responsible for Chinese dishes.

When it comes to hot dishes, he thought for a while and decided to get four dishes out.

Fried meatballs, stir-fried vegetables, braised tofu, and a braised pork.

For cold dishes, it is even simpler. Three dishes such as shallots mixed with tofu, cold gluten and elbow with soy sauce are enough.

Of course, the whole celebration banquet could not consist of just a few dishes. The remaining part was discussed and resolved by the two half-cooking ladies. Anyway, they knew better what the shelter people like to eat, so An Kai didn’t need to worry too much.

He appeared in the kitchen today, in addition to determining the menu, the most important thing is to be responsible for the production of several dishes.

Among them, the croquettes, he made tofu balls, which tasted delicious. In fact, the main ingredients are tofu and pork suet.When the tofu is cooked so that it doesn’t need to be stared, you can leave it to someone else to stare at after the early stage steps are completed. The braised pork is a little bit more complicated. The main reason is that if it is not done well, it may not be delicious. This Ankai has to be used personally.

The sauce elbow was made a few days ago. At that time, An Kai felt that when the own subway was about to succeed, he took the time to prepare the elbow one night and put it in the cold storage. Now he only needs to take it out and cut it into slices.

Of all these dishes, the most troublesome is actually the cold gluten.

The process of making gluten is actually not complicated.

For a junior chef, making gluten is no more difficult than noodles.

Ankai first pours enough flour into a stainless steel bowl, adds 60% water equivalent to the weight of the flour, and then 1% salt equivalent to the water. After fully mixing it, it is easy to process into a strong sticky dough.

Let the dough stand for one hour. Because the temperature in the shelter has recently been relatively high, he felt that the rest time was shortened a bit, mainly to prevent the dough from becoming sour. Another point to note here is that the amount of water should not be too much, so that the protein will not be dispersed in the water before it can be bonded, which will bring difficulties to the operation and also affect the gluten extraction rate.

After the dough was awake enough, An Kai took the dough out of the basin with skill, put it on a rough cage cloth and started to pour water, while drenching it while kneading.

This step is a crucial step for making gluten.

When kneading and washing, the starch flows away with the water, and the protein that remains in the cage and sticks together is the wet gluten.

The more washing times, the lower the starch inclusion rate in the gluten, the higher the protein content, and the better the quality.

Generally speaking, it is almost the same after washing three to five times.

The water used for washing the flour should not be wasted either. Ankai uses a large clean container to collect all the water.

These water contains a lot of starch, simple precipitation can obtain wheat starch, stir-fry and soup, etc. need to be used to thicken the peak.

Let’s talk about gluten. The moisture content of wet gluten is 38%, and the protein is about 60%. The surface is smooth, elastic and tough. If you continue to make at this time, there are two options. One of them is oily gluten, which is made into a spherical shape with your hands, fried in a hot oil pan until golden brown and taken out; or put the washed gluten into a boiling water pot and boil for 80 minutes until cooked, that is, “water gluten” .

The nutritional content of gluten, especially the protein content, is higher than that of lean pork, chicken, eggs and most soy products. It is a high-protein, low-fat, low-sugar, and low-calorie food. It also contains calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and other trace elements. , Is one of the traditional cuisine.

However, An Kai remembers that he had read some articles on the Internet before crossing. Some said that gluten contained high calories, and some said that the area contained acrolein.

There are also articles that say that certain foods are not suitable for eating with gluten. Such as spinach, bamboo shoots, amaranth, etc., because it contains high oxalic acid, and gluten cannot be eaten with foods high in oxalic acid. The reason is that gluten contains high calcium. Calcium and oxalic acid can produce insoluble or incompatible calcium oxalate, which affects calcium. absorb.

Anyway, I have everything, but An Kai wants to say that it’s not good to eat too much.

If you drink too much water, you get poisoned, if you eat too much food, you get fat, and if you eat too much sugar, you get diabetes. You must master everything.

Gluten is not a hassle to make. It is more of a skill. He intends to teach this skill and it can be regarded as adding a small variety to the diet of the shelter. Anyway, as long as it is not a meal, he uses gluten as a staple food, and if he eats one occasionally, he thinks it is not a big problem.

Time soon arrived in the afternoon, and the working people gradually left work and gathered in the cafeteria.

The celebration dinner will begin soon!
