Chapter 188: Cupcakes
Algabi stepped into the ring and took the initiative to ask Ying to be the champion of the first round, although he was just a harmless fourteen-year-old boy, but the other nine of the top ten players did not dare to underestimate him at all.
Algaibee's scores aside, the fact that he was able to get to where he is today with his age and experience alone has nothing to do with his extraordinary culinary talent, and no one seems to show a strong desire to attack against such an opponent.
However, Algabi's appearance did add a lot to the atmosphere of the scene, and seeing that he was facing the embarrassment of being cold again, Yuris hurriedly urged: "The first round of the ring match is now starting, and those who are willing to challenge should come to the ring as soon as possible." ”
There was no response from all around, and Yuris really felt that it was a chore to face these bigwigs in the food industry, all of them were so cautious, and they didn't have the demeanor of a general.
And just when Yuris was disheartened, another delicate voice came, saying, "Let me give it a try." ”
Yuris looked at the source of the voice, and his eyes suddenly showed joy, even a hint of intoxication.
Then Yuris shouted, "Okay! The challenge is our top 10 contestant Zhang Xiaoran, and under her tall figure, what kind of convincing cooking skills are hidden, and let's wait and see. In the first round of the ring match, there will be a cupcake duel brought to us by our Algabi and Zhang Xiaoran! ”
Facing Yuris's introduction, Zhang Xiaoran stepped on high heels and slowly walked into the ring, her curvaceous figure was outlined by a blue one-piece skirt, plus her own height advantage. With gentle and delicate steps. Many men swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Zhang Xiaoran gently brushed away a few strands of hair hanging from her shoulders. said to the cute Algabi: "Little brother, can you play with your sister?" ”
Algabi nodded with a smile and said, "Okay sister." ”
When Sikong Yao set his eyes on the ring, he heard a few whispers from below.
"Anyway, that woman is really beautiful, I don't know if I have a boyfriend."
"Are you crazy, you dare to hit her idea, be careful to go out and be beaten to death."
"No, what's the origin of this woman?"
"Don't you even know the Queen of Paper Cups? Her family runs the largest chain of cupcake houses in the continent. It is also famous in Hong Kong and Macau, because there are no branches overseas, and many foreigners come here to see the beauty of the fog. I heard that his boyfriend is the son of the first batch of domestic pastry raw material distributors, if you dare to do something to spend your thoughts, don't blame me for not reminding you if there are three long and two short. ”
Sikong Yao shook his head helplessly, ignoring the small words of the idle people, but looked at the ring with more solemn eyes, it seems that the people present today are all people with prominent family backgrounds and good strength, and they may have to be enemies with these characters next. Sikong Yao's heart couldn't calm down.
Seeing the solemnity in Sikong Yao's eyes, Ke Yundan, who was sitting behind, could only shake his head helplessly. It seems that the previous persuasion had little effect.
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from below, and Ke Yundan turned his mind back, just as he saw a fierce cooking duel going on in the ring match.
The first to shoot is Zhang Xiaoran, every action is so glamorous and moving, a pair of Qianqian jade hands are soft and boneless, put the egg and sugar and cake instant oil into the whisk, first use the slow speed to stir the egg and sugar, and then the speed Yu plays Yu Lie, and in the end, you can only see Zhang Xiaoran like a flying butterfly, in the dream, there are eggs and cake instant oil began to melt and foam, and the egg liquid in the container began to expand.
Zhang Xiaoran's process of stirring the egg liquid is like an intoxicating song of qushui, although there is no sound around the ears, but it is unforgettable, every movement is so smooth and concise, it can only be described as flawless.
When Zhang Xiaoran picks up the egg wash with her fingers as beautiful as green onions, the perfect plasticity is impressive, and the egg wash is gently picked on the fingers, because the surface of the egg wash treated by the cake instant oil is extremely smooth, but it will not fall from the fingertips, showing a wonderful texture like a jewel.
It was only from the bottom to the bottom that I felt that Zhang Xiaoran's finger was wearing a ring carved from pale yellow amber.
Zhang Xiaoran seems to have been born for the stage, and her demeanor can make people unable to take their eyes off her. She slipped lightly from the egg wash into the glass bowl and waved her hand at Algaibi.
Others may not be able to see it, but Sikong Yao, who is also a pastry chef, can see it clearly, and she was surprised to find that Zhang Xiaoran's fingers were not stained with a trace of egg liquid, as if Zhang Xiaoran had never touched it with her hands. Sikong Yao knew that this was only a pastry chef's cooking skills when he reached a certain height, from the precise control that could be displayed.
Sikong Yao was originally most worried about the opponent Algaibi, but when Zhang Xiaoran showed this proud skill, Sikong Yao knew that this game was not as simple as he imagined.
Algaibi, who felt Zhang Xiaoran's gesture, stopped the hand that had just raised the egg, and asked, "Sister, do you have something?" ”
Zhang Xiaoran showed a charming smile and said, "Little brother, do you know the point of cupcakes?" That is, when stirring the salad oil, it must be uniform enough, otherwise it will sink to the bottom during the baking process, which will cause the bottom of the cupcake to show a feeling of being burned, which will destroy the overall beauty. ”
Algabi nodded and smiled, "Thank you sister for the reminder." ”
At the juncture of the duel, he even reminded his opponent of the key points of cooking, which shows that Zhang Xiaoran is very confident in his cupcake cooking skills, relying on the training obtained in his own paper cup queen enterprise, Zhang Xiaoran is convinced that he will be able to conquer Algabi's ring.
Although the scores of the two in the knockout round are far apart, this does not affect Zhang Xiaoran's confidence in handling cupcakes by herself, and although this is one of her trump cards, it is not all, you must know that in the queen of cups, although the highest sales are the most classic cupcakes, but the most skilled dishes have something else.
Cupcake is also commonly referred to as cupcakes. This delicate and small dessert is very common in Western weddings, and cupcakes with a very high appearance rate come to two origin theories, one is that in the 19th century, in order to make a large number of wedding cakes, but there was no cake making utensils, they simply used cups as the base of the cake, and finally named after this vessel.
Compared with the previous one, the second one is obviously more rigorous and credible. According to this theory, cupcakes are named after the ingredients used to make cupcakes, which are measured by cups, and are still used today.
A small cup of butter, a small glass of milk, two cups of granulated sugar and three cups of flour, four eggs to take away and a teaspoon of baking powder must be just enough to reach the height of a cup, so that you can make a delicious cupcake.
Regardless of the origin of the name, it is not this that makes cupcakes popular in the United States, but because they are individually packaged and do not require any utensils, eliminating the need for cumbersome plastic knives and forks, and making them super easy to carry. It is also very convenient when eating, there is a layer of paper film on the outside, which will not cause sticky hands, even five minutes before entering the conference room, you can also let cupcakes help you replenish your energy, so as to lift your spirit to face the next lengthy meeting. Such a delicate and compact design can sometimes even bring some happiness to working in a fidgety office! With so many advantages, it's no wonder that it has become the favorite dessert of busy city girls!
In this way, cupcakes are undoubtedly a dessert with American characteristics, and freedom, deliciousness, and fashion are almost synonymous with it. Cupcakes are often featured in "Sex and the City", "Ugly Betty" or "Friends", which shows how obsessed Americans are with cupcakes, and they don't forget to bring them with them when filming TV series. In addition, as Western-style weddings are also popular among fans in China, the dessert table is also being met by more and more people in China. Because cupcakes are very Su shaped and have a variety of forms, they should be designed and customized according to the theme of the wedding when used in weddings, which also laid the foundation for it to quickly become popular all over the world.
The reason why cupcakes occupy a place in Western wedding receptions is that people may be hungry before or on the way to the wedding before the wedding cake is even on stage. But on the one hand, you have to keep your stomach to enjoy the wedding cake, on the other hand, you are hungry and thirsty, if you have a small and delicate at this time, you can not only add a little calorie to add a little satiety to your stomach, but not so that you can't eat later, so cupcakes naturally become the best choice.
Generally, there will be cupcakes, biscuits, cakes, candies and so on on the dessert table of Western wedding banquets, it is worth noting that the price of cupcakes is also relatively high, so its number is relatively small, mainly for decoration and eating. So it also makes cupcakes more precious.
Sikong Yao looked at Zhang Xiaoran of Algabi, who was cooking rapidly in the ring, and suddenly had infinite emotion in his heart. A small cupcake, but can use its posture to shake the entire dessert industry, the twists and turns of the development must also be a bitter pain, the success of anything has an opportunity, and the cupcake can be popular, the most important thing is its own taste.
