Chapter 203: Examination (13)
In the end, Qiu Yuxuan was taken away by the leaders of the baking college who came, and the appraisal center soon sent another examiner assistant to assist Zheng Hongyan to complete the afternoon assessment, and the practice room quickly returned to its original order.
After Lu Ziying left, there were only fourteen candidates left in the practice room, and as the identification of the third baking question began, the bakers in the practice room were eliminated one by one, and finally there were only nine bakers left, and they still had the remaining two baking questions.
The atmosphere slowly became a little tense, and some bakers simply stood at the cooking table, closed their eyes, slowly adjusted their breathing, and cleared their minds of the distractions that had arisen from the round of elimination just now, until the apprehension in their hearts disappeared.
"Xiao Yu, why haven't you started yet, are you also nervous?" Xu Wenyi just exhaled a breath of turbidity and soothed his stiff fingers, when he caught a glimpse of the figure near him also standing motionless, a little curious for a while.
"No, I'm thinking about something. The girl shook her head slightly, her brow slightly furrowed as if she was struggling with the answer to this matter, "Is it possible that I can leave early if I finish the last baking problem?"
Xu Wenyi's expression fell silent for a moment, mortals were still nervous about the next two baking questions, and the big guy was already thinking about what would happen after the end, just like the scumbags were working hard to prepare for the review of the final exam, and the top students were already planning a holiday trip.
Looking at Qingyu's confused eyes upstairs, Xu Wenyi nodded with difficulty, "It stands to reason that this is the case." After the girl retracted her gaze, Xu Wenyi's face collapsed slightly, why did he suffer such an injury, he was too difficult!
The girl's attention returned to the ingredients on the table, quickly finding what she needed, and her hands were busy, and her mind involuntarily remembered the stories about the nun puffs.
Someone once said that if there were no macarons in the world, which French dessert could represent the romance of France, the vast majority of people would choose - nun puffs.
Nun Puff, as a classic French afternoon tea dessert, is one of the most popular desserts in the romantic country for a hundred years.
At the same time, it gives many bakers great creative space, whether it is the innovation of the appearance, or the taste of the inner core, it is a great test of the baker's baking level, and is included in the assessment of four-star bakers, but even if it is a four-star baker, they have to be cautious about this baking topic, and many bakers who want to assess four-star have repeatedly failed in this dessert.
For this reason, Nun Puff is known as a four-star cold and ruthless killer.
However, the girl's familiar appearance of mixing ingredients did not seem to regard this question as a problem, Zheng Hongyan's eyes fell on her from time to time, and when she passed by the girl's cooking table, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Xiao Yu, have you ever been a nun puff before?"
"I've done it two or three times. ”
And it was all when she was in the New Western School, the girl's eyes were slightly fluttering, and she seemed to remember something in her mind, and her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with warmth.
When she was in the New West, her tutor was an eccentric old man, who usually behaved like an ordinary baking teacher in class, but after Lou Qingyu slowly bloomed his talented baking skills, she had to leave Lou Qingyu to open a small stove every day.
From lemon tarts to fondant cakes, it shouldn't be a baking dessert that an ordinary baking teacher should master, but it was inadvertently revealed, at that time, Lou Qingyu didn't know what the old man's skills represented, until she graduated and opened a small shop, she gradually understood that the old man was not simple.
She still remembers that under the guidance of the old man, she made it step by step in the classroom, and there were only two of them in the classroom at that time, a 16-year-old girl, who had only been in contact with baking for only a year, but at the request of the old man, she began to learn the four-star difficulty of nun puffs.
Extremely talented, under the old man's attention, she made a complete nun puff for the first time, even if the appearance is not as perfect as that of a French high-end dessert shop, but for a novice baker, it is enough to shock!
At that time, the old man looked at Lou Qingyu's expression, as if he was watching a "pervert".
At this time, Zheng Hongyan looked at Lou Qingyu's gaze but was a little worried, she had done it two or three times, which meant that she hadn't gone through a lot of practice, and the dessert of nun puffs was not easy to make, in case of the end... Isn't it a failure?
Looking directly at the girl's every move, the puffs in the pot are bright yellow like the color of sunflowers, poured into a transparent piping bag, a large and a small dough is squeezed on the oil paper of the baking sheet, and there is an upturned "yellow hair" above the flat ball dough, and the small hook makes people want to smooth it.
"This is made with red yeast rice powder?"
Xu Wenyi next to him looked over, it turned out to be Lou Qingyu took out a red pancake from the refrigerator, the bright red color reminded people of the most amazing red yeast powder in the baking industry, Zheng Hongyan is worthy of being a five-star baking master, a look at it.
"Yes, for the outer puff pastry decoration of the nun puffs. "The crimson pancakes, carved into oval shapes by utensils, are placed on the goose-yellow dough with slender fingers, and the cartoon-like color dough is finally served in the oven.
Zheng Hongyan withdrew her caring eyes, and when she shifted her gaze to the other side, her voice suddenly rose a few points, "Xu Wenyi, do you still have the heart to look at this side, are you doing everything yourself?"
Xu Wenyi's body trembled, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, and his mouth was pruned downward, sure enough, it was the difference between the top student and the scumbag, isn't it just curious about how Xiao Yu's nun puff does!
In fact, not only Xu Wenyi is curious, but also the other candidates in the practice room are also curious, how will a genius baker who has not yet taken the test for other stars go to this extremely difficult French dessert?
