In the face of Eric's problem, Sikong Yao and Jean are a little helpless, calm down and think about it, maybe they should give themselves more time to think.

Eric prepared a lot of ingredients for Sikong Yao and Jean, and Sikong Yao grabbed a grape casually, Sangiovese grapes had a crystal clear color, as if you could see the ice crystal-like flesh inside through the skin.

Sikong Yao asked Jean, "Jean, how did you want to become a pastry chef?" ”

Jean explains: "I grew up with a bunch of women who loved baking, my mom, my grandmother and my aunt, they were all baking experts, and I loved the moment when my family sat around the table and enjoyed the delicious apple pie, so I wanted to be a pastry chef too." ”

Sikong Yao nodded, everyone's willingness to become a chef is different, and for Jean, enjoying the atmosphere of family reservations is the motivation for him to move forward.

Sikong Yao asked again, "When was the first time you ate ice cream?" ”

Sikong Yao can't remember when she was ice cream for the first time, but no matter how long it has been, the allure of this dessert has never diminished for her.

Jean pondered for a moment and said, "The first time I ate it, it wasn't ice cream, it was ice cream. ”

Sikong Yao said with some surprise: "Is there a difference?" ”

Jean nodded, "Of course." ”

Ice cream is a frozen food made of milk powder, cream, eggs, sugar, starch, vanilla powder, etc., which is mixed and sterilized, stirred with hot and cold, homogenized under high pressure, exchanged with heat and cold, aged and frozen and puffed into cups.

Generally speaking, ice cream on the market can be divided into 3 main categories: full-fat ice cream. The milk fat content is not less than 8%; Semi-milk ice cream, milk fat content not less than 2.2%; Non-dairy ice cream, free of milk fat, made from vegetable oil as a milk fat substitute.

Ice cream is a hard frozen food with sticks made of sugar, milk powder, eggs, flavor, starch, malt powder, gelatin, etc. as the main raw materials, mixed and dispensed, heated sterilized, homogenized, mildly frozen, and frozen by injection molding.

Ice cream requires total solids to be greater than 30%, while ice cream only needs to be greater than 16%, while ice cream, fat and protein content cannot be less than 6% and 2.2% respectively, while ice cream has no requirement for this, only the total sugar content is required to be greater than 13%.

As a cold drink. The nature of ice cream is somewhere between ice cream and popsicles. It imitates ice cream in form and taste, has some characteristics of dairy products, and is easily and quickly irritated to the mouth when eaten through an appropriate expansion process. However, the quality of the ingredients used is much lower than that of ice cream. According to the ingredients, it can be divided into dozens of kinds such as cream, coffee and cocoa, fruits, and nuts.

Popsicles are made of sugar, starch, drinking water, flavors, fruit juices, jams, semi-finished products made of beans, cocoa powder and other raw materials. Rigid cold food with rods made by mixing ingredients, heat sterilization, and injection mold freezing.

Frozen drinks are mainly made of drinking water, sweeteners, dairy products, fruits, beans, edible oils, etc. Add an appropriate amount of flavors, colorants, stabilizers, emulsifiers and other food additives, and make frozen solid drinks through ingredients, sterilization and freezing. Frozen drinks can be divided into six categories: ice cream, sweet ice, ice cream, popsicles, slush, and edible ice according to different raw materials, processes and product characteristics. Among them, ice cream varies according to the milk fat content of the raw materials used. It can be divided into whole milk fat ice cream, semi-milk ice cream and non-dairy ice cream. Popsicles, ice cream, ice cream, and slush in frozen drinks are subdivided into clear products, mixed products, and combination products according to different product characteristics.

In addition, there are soft ice-like frozen drinks made of slush made of drinking water, sugar, etc., with thickeners and spices added, and mixed, sterilized, frozen or fried at low temperature.

Sweet ice is a frozen beverage made of drinking water, sugar, etc. as the main raw materials, added spices, mixing, sterilization, filling, freezing and other processes.

Edible ice is a frozen beverage made from drinking water through sterilization, injection molding, freezing, demoulding, packaging and other processes.

Popsicles are frozen drinks made by mixing, sterilizing, injection molding, cutting, freezing, and demoulding by adding drinking water, sugar, etc., with thickeners, spices, beans, fruits, etc.

Depending on the material, it is also divided into two types: hard ice cream and soft ice cream.

Hard ice cream generally refers to gelato, the expansion rate of hard ice cream is 80%-100%, and the hardening is formed to facilitate packaging and transportation. Created by the Italians, it is mainly processed in factories and frozen to be sold in stores, so it can be seen from the appearance that it is relatively hard, and the particles of ice inside are coarse.

Soft ice cream is American ice cream, soft ice cream has no hardening process in the production process, and the expansion rate is 30%-60%, which can generally be made and sold in an ice cream machine. In general, one soft serve ice cream contains more nutrients than the same volume of hard ice cream; Soft-serve ice cream that has not been hardened will also be creamier and creamier. Soft-serve ice cream was developed in the 1930s by Joseph ? Invented by Lyon Foods. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who worked as a pharmacist at the company at the time, was also involved in the development of soft serve ice cream emulsifiers.

According to the cost of the type, soft-serve ice cream should be called ice cream.

So Jean replied, "Blueberry flavored ice cream, it's delicious." ”

Sikong Yao shrugged and said, "It's a pity that we don't want to make blueberry-flavored ice cream, but red wine, it's really a headache." ”

Jean and Sikong Yao shared about the types of ice cream, and Sikong Yao once again admired his erudition, but there was one thing she was able to say proudly: "Did you know that ice cream is the best dessert in Italy, but pizza, like pizza, is also a delicacy imported from China?" ”

During the Yuan Dynasty, a shrewd grocery merchant had the whimsical idea to add some honey, milk and pearl powder to the ice, and as a result, the world's first ice cream was made.

In the 13th century, the world-famous Italian explorer Marco? Polo returned to Italy and brought back the Chinese method of ice cream. In 1500, when a French king married a member of the Italian royal family, ice cream was introduced from Italy to France. In 1625, the newly succeeded King Charles I of England hired a chef to make ice cream in order to be able to eat this summer food, and asked the chef to keep the recipe of the ice cream a secret.

Around 1700, ice cream spread to the American continent. The first president of the United States around George? Washington is obsessed with this new craft. At that time, ice cream making was not easy. People eat this food in the summer, and have to go to the river in the winter to get ice cubes and store them in sawdust. It is the food of the rich and noble. In 1846, a winter named Nancy in the United States? Ms. Johnson's refinement of the complex process has made a manual crank freezer that makes the ice cream making process simpler. In 1851, the American Zaqab? Faisel opens the first ice cream making factory in the United States in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

In 1900, thanks to the widespread use of electricity and refrigeration, the process of making ice cream was accelerated, the cost was reduced, and the price was greatly reduced. Since then, ice cream has become a popular summer food.

Due to the increasing popularity of refrigerators and freezers in China, ice cream is sold in both large and small shops in the city and countryside during the hot summer. Many families are also accustomed to making homemade ice cream to suit their tastes; Even in the cold winter, there are quite a few people who like to eat ice cream.

Jean didn't know the twists and turns of this, and said with interest: "Yes, I heard that your Chinese food is also broad and profound, if you have the chance, I really want to try it." ”

Sikong Yao said excitedly: "That's natural, if you want to come, you can come to me, and I'll take you to play for free." ”

Jean nodded and said: "That's a later story, now let's think about it, let's change how to deal with the things in front of us, if we don't pass the assessment this time, we will be on board for another year." ”

Sikong Yao shrugged and said, "Yes." ”

Jean was silent for a moment and then said, "Speaking of which, you seem to have a Chinese dish that makes ice cream into a hot pot?" ”

Sikong Yao smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes, there are knives, forks, and a small spoon with a slender handle when eating, all of which are stainless steel, very delicate, and then serve a small alcohol pot, the hot pot base is actually brown thick chocolate sauce, there will be three-color ice cream, chocolate, cream and strawberry flavor, and then there is a fruit platter, there are banana segments, kiwi slices, strawberry slices, apple slices, etc., and finally there is a small dessert platter, containing all kinds of small snacks." Put the ice cream in the hot pot with a fork and take it out to see, then the ice cream is like a rock sugar gourd, put it in the mouth and taste it, it is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, there is both the mellow aroma of chocolate and the fragrance of ice cream, which has a unique taste. Then customers can put fruits and snacks in the hot pot one after another, each with its own taste, one cold and one hot, very interesting, but it is also a relatively unpopular dessert, a kind of food that has only emerged in recent years. ”

Jean said with interest: "I see, it sounds very good, I wonder if it can be used by us?" ”

Jean put forward his own idea, Sikong Yao pondered for a moment after listening to it, this idea may work, but he can't find an entry point.

Sikong Yao said again: "How do you plan to cut in, it seems that there is no place to add red wine." ”

Jean shrugged, the wild idea was finally denied, this problem is really maddening, Sikong Yao sighed helplessly, and kept muttering about ice cream hot pot in his mouth, and suddenly a chic idea popped up. (To be continued......)
