Chapter 176: The Story of Puffs (Part 2)
Chen Mo hurriedly snorted, touched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Ha, I tasted it when I was a guest at Mr. Ni's house once, and I heard that it was the food that his daughter brought back from New York. Want to - free - free - see - end - whole - version please Baidu search - product = book = net "
Hearing that it was Ni Sheng of the Ni Shi Group, Herbert couldn't help but nodded.
"Is it a girl named Ni Meimei?" Upton asked.
"That's right. Chen Mo hurriedly agreed.
"Hmm... That's right, Ni Meili is Mr. Ni's daughter, who also studied in New York, and she has a close relationship with the students of our college, and it is possible that she will bring the puffs back to China from the United States. ”
Hearing Upton's words, Herbert said, "I see, it makes sense, but in the end, it is our Kate who makes the puffs better." ”
Upton's brow twitched, and confidence suddenly grew.
"Chen Mo, since you have eaten puffs before, I want to know, have you heard the story of puffs?"
The story of the puffs?
Does this puff also have a story?
Chen Mo really never knew.
Seeing Chen Mo's appearance, Upton knew that the other party didn't know about the legend of the puff.
"Like your Chinese food, many of our foods have their own stories. ”
After speaking, Upton casually picked up a puff from the plate, stared at the soft puff in his hand, and slowly told the story of the puff.
"There has always been a popular saying about puffs in the world. ”
"In the 16th century, due to a chance and accidental discovery, the puff was born and introduced to France. ”
"The situation was that the Habs of the former Austria and the Bourbon of France were exhausted after a long struggle for European dominance. Later, in order to avoid the profits of the neighboring fishermen, the two sides reached a political marriage agreement. ”
"The princess of Austria and the crown prince of France were married at the Palace of Versailles, and the puffs were the finale of the feast, putting an end to the long war. ”
Since then, the puff has symbolized an auspicious dessert in France, and on the occasion of the festival, people are accustomed to dip the puff in caramel and push it into a tower-shaped celebration called the puff tower. ”
In France, this kind of food, which symbolizes auspiciousness, friendship and peace, gradually spread, and puffs have become popular all over the world. ”
After listening to Upton, Herbert had just finished eating another puff, and said again and again: "So that's what happened, it's really teachable." ”
Chen Mo also felt that there was such a story behind the puffs.
But to Chen Mo and Herbert's surprise, Upton's words suddenly changed.
"Do you both think that's what Puff is all about? Wrong, very wrong!" Upton's head shook like a rattle.
Chen Mo and Herbert looked at each other.
"For me, who loves and delves into food culture, I have always been deeply skeptical of the rumor of puffs, and later through a large number of historical documents, I found that the real story of puffs is actually like this. ”
"There were many farms in France in the last century, and the local farmers were particularly powerful people. ”
"On a large farm in the north of France, there was a young man who was herding for people. The young man was kind, loyal and honest, and when he was shepherding sheep, he did the farmer's daughter a favor, but he was taken by the other party. The girl herself is also very good, gentle and beautiful, the two of them are in love, and they are soon together. ”
But their sweet love did not last long, and the farmer found out about them and ordered the young man to be kicked out of the farm, never to see his daughter again. ”
"Later, because of the girl's bitter plea, the farmer relented, and made a problem to his daughter and the lad, that they should 'put milk in eggs,' and if they could do it within three days, they should be allowed to be together, otherwise the lad would be sent far, far south of France. ”
The clever young man and the farmer's daughter tried their best to make a kind of snack that no one had ever seen before, the Lefu egg, which was as crispy as an egg shell on the outside, with the luster of an egg, and the main ingredient was also eggs, and the filling inside was frozen milk. ”
This unique pastry won the approval of the farmer, and the young man finally got the beauty, and the two became a sweet couple, and opened one shop after another selling sweetness and love in the north of France. ”
"Since the young man's name was Bowen and the girl's name was Graf, they called 'Puff', the first word of the young man's name, and the last word of the girl's name, 'Fu', as the name of the food they invented. ”
This is the true origin of the puffs. ”
After listening to Upton's words, Chen Mo found that he had been deeply attracted by the other party's story, and couldn't help but applaud.
This tireless pursuit of truth clearly comes from a love of food.
The Lori in front of her is a girl who really loves cooking and cooking.
For such an ordinary puff, the steps to make it are so delicate, the filling of the puff is so thoughtful, the ingredients for making the cream are so varied, and the story behind the correction of the puff all reflect Upton's understanding and love for food!
Upton's behavior deeply infected Chen Mo.
"Kate, I'm inspired by your story and I have an idea for food with the theme of 'love'. Chen Mo's face was full of confidence.
As soon as he heard that Chen Mo was about to make a move, Herbert's face was immediately full of anticipation.
"Chen Mo, come on, Kate and I also hope that you can show your hand, I have the ingredients here, you can use them as you like!"
"Yes, Mr. Ricky. Chen Mo agreed, nodded to Upton in front of him, and began to look for the ingredients he needed in the hall.
Walking into Herbert's ingredient library, Chen Mo found that this guy had collected a lot of ingredients here.
If you don't have a good memory, you might get lost just by walking around the ingredient cabinet in this hall.
After shaking for a while, when Chen Mo came back, he also had a lot of things in his hands.
Like Upton, Chen Mo also used flour.
In addition, the ingredients are winter melon, eggs, sesame seeds, cake powder, ghee, honey and so on.
Under the watchful eyes of Upton and Herbert, Chen Mo began to produce.
Use the old winter melon with ash, peel and remove the seeds, put it in a steamer to steam it, take it out of the blender and beat it into a puree, and then wrap it in gauze to remove the water.
Seeing the steps of Chen Mo's production, Upton couldn't help but nod.
Because Chen Mo's approach is also very particular.
Put a little lard into the pan, and the hot lard makes a "sizzling" sound in the pan.
