Chapter 370: Rising Star
When she first saw Yao Xiaoyu, Sikong Yao was really shocked, how could she appear in the Silver Coral Restaurant and still make jewelry pudding? Sikong Yao hurriedly ran over to take a look, looked left and right, and almost asked, only then did he confirm that that person was Yao Xiaoyu, and couldn't help but laugh in surprise at the moment, and asked, "Xiaoyu?" How did you end up here. ”
Yao Xiaoyu didn't stop the work at hand, mixing agar and pudding powder into a crystal clear paste, and the various ingredients danced in her hands like a magic trick, almost making Sikong Yao unable to take his eyes off at the same time, she said, "I'm the pastry chef of this restaurant." ”
Sikong Yao's eyes widened, and she asked again, "Isn't this restaurant where Bai Xia works?" ”
Yao Xiaoyu frowned slightly, and the little girl said thoughtfully: "What, where he can come, can't I come?" I don't lose to him. ”
Sikong Yao realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly snorted, and said: "My mistake my mistake, I mean, I didn't expect to be able to meet you in France, it's too much of a coincidence, I guess your current position is definitely higher than Bai Xia, right?" That guy fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, and he doesn't have to work on time, and a virtuous girl like you will definitely be reused by the restaurant owner. ”
was praised by Sikong Yao like this, Yao Xiaoyu also laughed out loud, and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, look at you praising me." ”
Sikong Yao also smiled, and then asked, "What about Bai Xia?" ”
Yao Xiaoyu shrugged and said, "That guy is just like you said, three days of fishing with two screens." Unfortunately, he wants to post the net first, saying that the first two days of the meeting will be handed over to me, and if the sales are not good in two days before I go to find him back, I guess he must be on vacation now. ”
Sikong Yao snorted in disgust and said, "Why is this so, you guys are slow and hot here, but he went on vacation, it's too much." ”
Yao Xiaoyu shrugged, and at the same time cut a few lemons into slices, only to see her carry the knife like a flying hand and drop the knife a few times. Countless thin-skinned dances in the air. The thickness of each piece is the same, as if you can see through one layer to the next layer, and if you look at it from the front, you may mistakenly think that there is only a thin piece.
Sikong Yao not only exclaimed: "Good knife technique!" ”
It's been two months. I didn't expect Yao Xiaoyu to be such a powerful chef now. Sikong Yao couldn't help but be secretly taken aback. Although this girl is not extremely talented, everyone can see that she is very attentive to her studies, and I am afraid that she is more fond of cooking than anyone else. No one can deny her love.
Yao Xiaoyu did not avoid Sikong Yao's praise, but was generous, and the kung fu at hand did not stop, but he was very comfortable, and he could still chat with Sikong Yao: "I'm not as good as Bai Xia, he can handle it with three times the speed, I'm still far behind." ”
Sikong Yao's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Won't it?" How did that guy get stronger again......"
Not only Yao Xiaoyu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, but even Bai Xia seems to have achieved new attainments, Sikong Yao originally thought that he had made enough progress in the past few days when he came out to practice, and he couldn't help but be a little complacent, but when he saw Yao Xiaoyu, he realized that he was still far behind, and he couldn't help but smile a few times in embarrassment.
Yao Xiaoyu also smiled and said: "That guy is very perverted, otherwise the boss will not always indulge him, once he is willing to come to work in the restaurant one day, the store will be so busy that day that everyone is tired and lying down, business is really good." ”
Sikong Yao asked incredulously, "It's a bit exaggerated." ”
Yao Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all, that guy is really a pervert, I don't know how long it will take to catch up with him." ”
Sikong Yao smiled and said, "Haha, then you have to hurry, because I want to catch up with you." ”
Yao Xiaoyu also laughed and said, "Don't be kidding, do you want to eat something?" I'll make it for you. ”
Sikong Yao said without thinking: "Of course, it's your signature jewelry pudding." ”
Sikong Yao had already heard of the name of this jewelry pudding, the caramel was boiled like a jewel and shimmered, and each serving was sold for as much as 140 francs, but countless people still flocked to it, as if it was an addiction and could not resist it, and people couldn't help but want to feel his magic.
However, Sikong Yao found that Yao Xiaoyu shrugged helplessly and said, "If you want to eat our signature, then no, if you have jewelry pudding, I can make it for you." ”
Sikong Yao was puzzled, and said, "Isn't your signature a jeweled pudding?" ”
Yao Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's different, the current signboard is the amber language developed by Bai Xia, which should be regarded as a kind of Japanese fruit, right?" But the skin is so beautifully made that you can see the filling wrapped inside, the color changes, and the filling is shaped into a variety of shapes, a bit like a dream crystal ball. ”
Sikong Yao was not only a little surprised when he heard Yao Xiaoyu say Bai Xia's dessert so mysteriously, this Bai Xia was inevitably too demonic, and he didn't give people a chance to catch up with him at all.
"So you're in charge of the jewelry pudding now?" Sikong Yao asked, with Bai Xia's temperament, I'm afraid that he will be a hands-off shopkeeper and don't care about anything.
Yao Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, because only I can do it, the boss hired me over." ”
Sikong Yao asked in surprise, "Why do you do it too?" ”
Yao Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Actually, I learned this dessert Bai Xia from my father, so I also taught it to my father." ”
Sikong Yao was like an initiation, and said, "Oh, so that's the case, then who is your father?" ”
Yao Xiaoyu shrugged and said, "I don't know, he is now an unemployed vagrant, but I heard from my mother that he was a very powerful pastry chef when he was young, and anyway, the family's savings are enough for him to eat for several lifetimes." ”
Sikong Yao was a little surprised and speechless, he didn't expect Yao Xiaoyu to have such a powerful father, he really didn't expect it.
Since Bai Xia is not here, then Sikong Yao's heart can be regarded as a loose boulder, so that Roman Monet has no way to find trouble with him, and the most important thing is that he and Bai Xia actually know each other, and this matter will not be known by Roman Monet, and it can be regarded as escaping.
After Sikong Yao calmed down, he felt a lot more comfortable, and said to Yao Xiaoyu: "Okay, then have a jewelry pudding!" ”
Yao Xiaoyu muttered, "Why did you suddenly seem to be a different person? What's the fun happening? ”
Sikong Yao smiled and said, "Haha, it doesn't count, but it's really not sad." ”
"Inexplicable." Yao Xiaoyu looked dazed, but he still cooked a jewelry pudding for Sikong Yao.
Legend has it that the pie evolved from the "hakis" with mutton that the ancient Saxons ate. This "hakis" is a sausage-like food, which is made by mixing meat and grains, putting it in a sheep's stomach pouch, and then cooking it. This food was an important way for people to preserve their food at the time.
Later, due to the increase in the production of wheat and other cereals, pie crusts made of cream and flour were used instead of sheep's stomach bags. At the same time, in the Middle Ages, there was also a pie called "coffin", which is a pie that puts meat into a box-shaped pie crust, then slowly boils it over a fire, and then pours in a jelly containing a thick broth, because its shape resembles a coffin, so it is called "coffin pie".
In the southwestern state of Cornwall, people have inherited an ancient flavor called "hakis", a pie of meat, potatoes and vegetables. They all like to use this pie with their meals or tea.
Pudding, which evolved from the ancient word "cloth" used to denote sausages mixed with blood, is today a dessert made from eggs, flour, and milk, and was passed down by the people of the time. In medieval monasteries, nuns called "pudding" "a mixture of fruit and oatmeal". This pudding was officially introduced in the 16th century under Elizabeth I, and it was made with gravies, juices, dried fruits and flour. Pudding in the 17th and 18th centuries was made with eggs, milk and flour.
Pudding is actually a more accurate translation should be called custard, and in a broad sense, pudding refers to the food that is solidified into a solid form by pulpy materials, such as Christmas pudding, bread pudding, Yorkshire pudding, etc., common preparation methods include baking and freezing, steaming, baking, etc., they not only look very cute and interesting, but also very charming when eating, is the taste bud killer of countless girls and children, in the twentieth century, opened up countless people's attention to desserts.
As for Yao Xiaoyu's jewelry pudding for Sikong Yao's cooking, it is a kind of frozen pudding, with caramel, creating an atmospheric meaning, first pour the milk into the pot, add sugar and mix well, how to boil until slightly boiling, when cooking, you should keep stirring, pour in the light cream and leave the heat to room temperature, add three egg yolks in turn, so that the pudding itself has a very strong fragrance, as for the other secret recipes, Yao Xiaoyu seems to be unwilling to let Sikong Yao see, so Sikong Yao didn't deliberately figure it out, After all, it's a secret.
However, the most magical thing about this dessert is that the caramel is boiled, using a very special funnel-shaped container, the color of the caramel boiled is very light, shallow to almost glass-like crystal clear, but there is a little bit of slightly burnt color, just like the texture of jewelry, very attractive, Sikong Yao guessed that this special kitchenware may also have a variety of doorways to use, otherwise it will not make this dessert can win the attention of the French.
