Chapter 608: Steadfast
Jean shrugged with a self-deprecating smile, if he hadn't woken up tonight because of the Flame Ice Cream, maybe he would still be immersed in that complacency, right? Jean, who sees this clearly, needs to precipitate himself and calm his mind through some ways, and practicing basic skills will be a good choice.
Jean plans to come back and continue to practice the basics of dessert, and in fact his basic skills are solid enough, which is a very high level for ordinary dessert baking enthusiasts, but only those who are in the middle of it know that no matter what it is, there is no certainty.
If you don't connect with the basics for a day, then you are actually regressing every day, and if you don't keep repeating the stimulation every day, you will gradually become paralyzed, and the strength of the pastry chef will be greatly reduced.
Jean remembers his mother telling him that the best pastry chefs in the world will guarantee four hours of basic practice every day, and if you continue to do so, you will make a little progress.
Jean didn't believe it when he first heard his mother's words, but as time went on, as he went farther and farther on the cooking road, he gradually realized that what his mother said was actually not wrong, and that it was indeed a boring process, but he had to repeat it.
Jean would maintain a certain amount of basic practice every day, and even though it was late today, his habit did not end there, not to mention that he had also suffered a little blow tonight, and he urgently needed to express the gloom in his heart and cheer himself up again.
Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground, laying a solid foundation is fundamental, and the same is true for cooking. Jean still has a long way to go in the future of cooking, and it is up to him to keep his culinary edifice with a solid enough foundation to support his beliefs.
Proficiency in technology begins with theoretical knowledge. In any basic dessert skill, you must start learning from the basics, and then carry out repeated training and learning, only a solid foundation will allow a person to understand more and deeper things.
In this high-tech developed society. Cooking, an art that emphasizes more than practice, should not only be a discussion of theoretical knowledge, but also a more practical technical operation.
The study of culinary cuisine is diverse, and after all, the knowledge and experience are to prepare for the road ahead, and it is impossible to practice it in society without a solid foundation.
People who have entered the world of cooking. Regardless of whether there is a foundation or no foundation, we should pay more attention to the theory, and then enter the theoretical practice, that is, the practice of basic skills, and how to lay a solid foundation is to rely on more learning, more memorization, more reading, more practice, and learning to review.
The human brain is within a certain time frame. You may forget some things that are not impressive, but the human brain is also very powerful, and you can remember as much as you want to remember. Jean often "takes back" what he has learned, perhaps by recalling it in his head, it will increase the memory impression, and the knowledge will become stronger.
In fact, Jean felt that something had gone wrong today, when he was using the egg blender because of his frivolity when he was beating the cake. The slight mistake in his grasp of the angle when turning in circles would be a slight one, but if he didn't get it over in time today, laziness and laxity would gradually paralyze him. It became a major obstacle for him to make a breakthrough in dessert cooking.
Jean was going to practice about it, but when he returned to the baking room, he was surprised to find that he was not the only one who had this idea.
There was the sound of sticky stirring in the door of the baking room, and Jean gently pushed the door open, and to his surprise, it was under the light. There is one person who is practicing tirelessly.
The person kept repeating the mechanical work under the light, but it was not boring and boring, but it was intoxicated by the back and forth of her arms, and even the repetitive act would shine because of the diligence and effort that the person poured into it.
The smell of vanilla gradually became stronger, and Jean suddenly found that the man's technique seemed to be slowly improving in this kind of training, and it was a stepwise improvement that crossed an obstacle.
"Sikong Yao?" Jean recognized it at a glance, that person was Sikong Yao.
Seeing that someone was there, Sikong Yao and Jean were also surprised, she was surprised for a moment, but she didn't stop what she was doing, the ice cream was still stirred by her, soft and orderly.
Sikong Yao said to Jean at the same time: "Hey, why are you back too?" Did something fall here? ”
Seeing Sikong Yao deal with two things so calmly, he knew that Sikong Yao had made a breakthrough in just one hour, even if it was luck, Jean had to admit that she was indeed very talented, he smiled and said: "I guess I have the same purpose as you, and I am also here to practice basic skills." ”
"Ha......" Sikong Yao smiled a little embarrassedly, she didn't expect that Jean actually had such a thought, "It seems that you really like desserts too." ”
Sikong Yao approvingly: "I can't see it, it turns out that you are so serious." ”
Jean shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly, "Do I look like the kind of person who doesn't want to make progress?" ”
Sikong Yao shook his head lightly and said, "That's not it, I just think you're already very powerful, but I didn't expect it." ”
"What didn't you expect?" Jean asked, puzzled.
"Hmm......" Sikong Yao pondered for a moment and said, "I think that people like you who are very powerful and knowledgeable should not be able to do everything easily, only clumsy people like me need to study hard." ”
Jean shrugged his shoulders and said funny: "How is it possible, where in the world is there something that is not earned, I firmly believe that everyone should work hard to get the future they want, it is true that everyone is good at different fields, intelligence and talent are also natural, but this does not become a reason for a person's success, or not to work hard, right?" ”
Sikong Yao nodded and said, "Well, you're right, I apologize." ”
Jean smiled and said, "It's not that serious, I'm just expressing my own opinion." ”
Immediately, Jean said with some loss: "But what you said is also right, there are indeed some people who can pay less than ordinary people, but they can gain more, thinking about it like this, I feel very unwilling." ”
Sikong Yao really wanted to comfort Jean, but Jean said optimistically: "But if those ordinary people can see the gap clearly, and work hard with interest and disdain, they can always shorten the gap during the period, right?" The smarter the people, the harder they should work to maintain their position, and the less fortunate people should work harder to close the gap, no matter who they are, they should be humble to study hard, I think? ”
Instead, Jean threw the question back to Sikong Yao, who smiled and said, "What, you know everything, then I won't comfort you." ”
Jean also smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you are really cunning!" ”
Sikong Yao asked rhetorically, "Why do you say that?" ”
Jean snorted and said, "It's disgusting to lie to me that I would rest early, but I secretly stayed here to practice!" ”
Sikong Yao said funny: "What! I told you not to go to bed too late tomorrow morning, but I didn't tell you to go to bed early tonight, did I? ”
Jean smacked his lips and said, "Sophistry, sophistry!" ”
Sikong Yao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, since everyone's purpose is the same, don't waste time." ”
Jean nodded and said, "Well, yes, for the assessment of professional pastry chefs." ”
Sikong Yao also nodded and said, "Well, in order to go further and further on the road of dessert." ”
"Come on!" Jean encouraged: "Anyway, what are you coming back to practice?" ”
Sikong Yao explained: "Although the flame ice cream does not taste good, I can still feel the lack of taste, and I plan to adjust the recipe and improve some steps to make the ice cream taste better." ”
Jean pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm...... If you want to make ice cream taste better, you must start with milk fat and dosage. ”
Sikong Yao nodded and said, "Well, if there is more milk, the ice cream will be smoother, but it will be easier to melt, and if it melts, the taste will be worse." ”
Jean agreed: "But if it is missing, it will become ice cream, and the texture will be harder." ”
Sikong Yao said with a headache: "Yes, so I'm trying to find the best median." What about you, what are you doing here? ”
Jean shrugged and said: "Adjust your mentality, when I whip the cream, I am too impetuous, the angle has deteriorated, if I don't adjust it in time, once I develop a bad habit, I will be in trouble in the future." ”
Sikong Yao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll give you a lot of advice." ”
The two of them trained in the baking room until late, but when they woke up the next day, they were unusually full of energy. In fact, people's spiritual recovery does not depend on the length of sleep, but the quality of sleep, like Sikong Yao and Jean can untie their knots, enter a deep sleep without any burden, and after a few hours, they can also cultivate their spirits.
Jean smiled and said, "Are you ready?" ”
Sikong Yao nodded and said, "Well, let's go, go to Florence!" (To be continued.) )
