Liu Ke took Sikong Yao to walk around the inner courtyard for a while, then took out a candy from his pocket, handed it to Sikong Yao and explained: "This is a mini madeleine shell cake for you to be a snack, try it." ”

Madeleine cake is no stranger to Sikong Yao, a small French-style dessert that was originally intended for home cooking. The hero who promoted it to the world's cake hall is the French writer Proust.

Proust's taste memories of shell cakes led him to write a long literary masterpiece "Reminiscences of the Past", so he also pushed shell cakes onto the stage of history.

Liu Ke explained: "This candy made of apricots from the local area has a slightly sweet and sour taste, mixed with berry jam, which is to break up the concentrated fresh fruits and boil them to collect the juice, with a rich aroma and a sweet and sour taste. ”

"Huh? Candy in the shape of a cake, that's interesting. Sikong Yao took it and looked at it, but he was very curious, this cake can be made as delicate as candy, it seems that the strength of this senior named Liu Ke should not be bad.

The combination of berries creates a special fuchsia sauce, a variety of jams that can be mixed to create a balanced sweet and sour taste, as a candy, not only appetizing, greasy, but also very resistant to scrutiny.

Sikong Yao commented: "Lemon peel and milk are specially added here to make the taste more fresh, and Liu Xuechang is really good." ”

Liu Ke, who was walking in front, suddenly stagnated slightly, turned his head and said in surprise: "You actually tasted it by tasting?" ”

Sikong Yao nodded and said, "Yes, it's not difficult. ”

Hearing Sikong Yao say it so lightly. This Liu Ke was also energetic, and asked again: "Okay, can you taste what fresh fruit is added to it?" ”

Sikong Yao felt it carefully, and said in turn: "The sour and faint fragrance, the taste is very rich and mellow, it must be cranberries, and it is a fresh wet cranberry." ”

There are two types of cranberries, dry and wet, and the cranberries that you can buy at the local grocery store are dried and grown, and the cranberry juice and sauce are processed from the wet cranberry fruit. The night before the wet-seeded cranberries were harvested, they were all submerged in a sea of water. The next day. A mechanical waterwheel knocks the fruit off the vine. The vine berries float on the water and are then collected by the waterwheel.

The taste and uniqueness of cranberries are not surprising even if they are tasted, but Sikong Yao can even tell that they are wet cranberries. This is astonishing. Liu Ke nodded when he heard this. "That's right, it's the wet cranberry." ”

Immediately after that, Sikong Yao pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then the flesh is delicate. The flavor is unique, the sweetness and sour are moderate, and it has a refreshing and pleasant aroma, should it be blueberry? ”

Liu Keda was shocked, and hurriedly nodded again: "That's right, it's a blueberry." ”

Hearing Liu Ke's identification, Sikong Yao was also full of confidence, and immediately pointed out a little doubt in his heart: "And the taste is relatively refreshing, so it should be Beigaocong." ”

There are many types of blueberries, which can be roughly divided into two categories: southern highbush blueberry and northern highbush blueberry, the southern highbush blueberry likes humid and warm climate conditions, and in China, it is developed in the area south of the Yellow River such as central and southern China. Another kind of blueberry likes cold and cool climate, and has strong cold resistance, which is suitable for the development of humid areas and cold regions along the coast of northern China. This variety group has large fruits, good quality, and good taste of fresh food, and can be cultivated as a variety sold in the fresh fruit market, or can be processed or cultivated for own use in the garden.

Liu Ke was speechless and praised: "That's right, it's indeed the blueberries of the North High Cong, junior sister, your tongue is amazing!" ”

Sikong Yao smiled, and continued to turn his tongue, and a touch of soft coolness spread out on the tip of his tongue, so Sikong Yao said again: "The fruit is soft and juicy, pleasant in color and fragrance, sweet and sour with a little fragrance, so it should be a blackberry!" ”

Even three in a row, Liu Ke's expression is not to mention how wonderful it is, "Yes, yes, yes, it's Blackberry, and the last one, can you taste it?" ”

"Uh......" Sikong Yao was a little embarrassed all of a sudden, and the last taste was a little difficult to distinguish, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Liu Ke saw that Sikong Yao was embarrassed, so he also relaxed the requirements, after all, it was already great to be able to taste the three flavors, and he couldn't embarrass a newly enrolled junior sister, and was about to tell Sikong Yao the answer, when suddenly Sikong Yao said again: "The sour taste is very strong, it should be a red currant that is not fully ripe." ”

Liu Ke's words that had already reached his mouth were swallowed back immediately, and he couldn't say a word in an instant, these cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, and redcurrants are the raw materials he used to make jam, but he didn't expect Sikong Yao to say it well, it can be called a demon!

Sikong Yao saw that Liu Ke was speechless, and thought that he was wrong, so he asked a little embarrassed: "Eh?" Isn't it......"

Liu Ke hurriedly shook his head and exclaimed loudly: "Yes, yes, yes!" It's exactly the four you said, little junior sister, your tongue is really amazing! ”

Just when Liu Ke was cheering, the two happened to come to the door of the teaching building again, and suddenly a figure sounded behind them: "Liu Ke, what are you yelling about?" Don't get in the way. ”

Liu Ke turned around and saw that it was Shen Lan who was at the same level as himself, so he said hello: "Yo, it's Shen Lan, what did you make today?" ”

Sikong Yao found that Liu Ke's gaze was looking at the pot and bouquet in Shen Lan's hand, so he also shifted his attention, and was a little surprised that the bouquet of roses was actually made of sugar coating!

Shen Lan was dressed in white, and his hands were comparable to the meticulousness of a girl, but his eyes were too sharp, a little scary, and his temper didn't seem to be very good, he opened his mouth and said impatiently: "Sugar-coated roses, it's not Teacher Sun's homework, it's tormenting me!" ”

"Hah, you're going to take his class too? It's really damn good. Liu Ke canceled Shen Lan, turned around and explained to Sikong Yao: "This is Shen Lan, the teacher Sun in his mouth just now is a well-known evil teacher in the inner courtyard, you must not take his classes in the future, it is simply self-inflicted!" ”

Shen Lan glared at Liu Ke, this guy dared to sprinkle salt on his wound, he couldn't spare him, and shouted: "It's okay if you don't grow up, you still instigate the younger sister?" ”

Seeing Shen Lan shift his gaze to himself, Sikong Yao also bowed half beggingly, and said obediently: "Shen Lan is good." ”

Shen Lan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This junior sister has a sweet mouth, but don't learn badly from you Liu Xuechang, come, I'll give you some greeting gifts." ”

Sikong Yao took a sugar flower that Shen Lan took out from the bouquet, and couldn't help but admire, this technique is different, the crystal clear sugar shell still has the smell of flowers, it should be a lot of flowers added to the syrup.

After receiving the gift, Sikong Yao naturally sweetened his mouth, so he said, "It's so fragrant, Senior Shen Lan added pollen to it, right?" ”

Hearing that Sikong Yao had seen the bottom again, Liu Ke hurriedly hooked up with Shen Lan excitedly, and said, "By the way, Shen Lan, I have to tell you, this little junior sister is amazing, her tongue is smart, the jam used in the madeleine shell candy I made just now, he tasted it all, it was amazing!" ”

"Cut, your stuff doesn't have any depth at all, and it's not strange to taste it." Upon hearing Liu Ke's words, Shen Lan was just skeptical and muttered a few words disdainfully, but he still looked at Sikong Yao with some surprise and asked, "How did you taste it?" ”

Although the students of the inner courtyard are no strangers to tasting and knowing things, after all, they have honed their skills after going through hard work, and a freshman like Sikong Yao, who has just entered the school, may not be able to do it.

In the face of Shen Lan's questioning, Sikong Yao was neither humble nor arrogant, and responded honestly: "It's just tasted, what do you want me to say?" ”

"You haven't practiced before?" Shen Lan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Sikong Yao responded: "No, why do you want to learn this?" ”

Shen Lan's eyes were tied into a line at the moment, and his expression became strange when he looked at Liu Ke, and finally said: "It seems that there have been a lot of demons in the past few years, you little junior sister has to be optimistic, so as not to teach people badly." ”

Liu Ke also nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, it may not be a trump card!" ”

Sikong Yao heard it in a fog, and asked again, "What are you talking about?" I couldn't understand anything. ”

Liu Ke snorted again and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you'll understand in the future, come with me, I'll take you to meet your instructor, you have to report to her as a freshman." ”

Sikong Yao nodded, and after saying goodbye to Shen Lan, he followed Liu Ke to report, and immediately received the costume of the dessert chef and arranged a place to stay, it seemed that there was nothing to do.

Sikong Yao always felt that something was missing, and asked Liu Ke again: "Why is there no class schedule or anything?" ”

Liu Ke explained with a smile: "By the way, I haven't told you about the system of the inner courtyard, there are no hard requirements for the courses in the inner courtyard, if you can't fall in love, you can go to it if you want to, everything is free." Of course, in fact, you don't want to be lazy, because everyone is actively studying, and you can't be idle, and when you see others studying hard, you can't help but want to join in. ”

"Oh, environmental infection?" Sikong Yao nodded knowingly, it turned out that the inner courtyard used such a teaching system, not imposing arrangements, but allowing students to play freely.

Liu Ke praised: "Smart, that's what it means, anyway, if you want to become stronger, you have to study hard, if you don't want to lose to others, you have to work harder, in the inner courtyard, there are many people who only sleep a few hours a day, and the rest of the time is studying." Because there are no other entertainment facilities in the inner courtyard, it is basically cooking except cooking, and in such an environment, even if you don't want to study, you can't do anything. ”

Sikong Yao nodded, not only longing for this inner courtyard, education is not immutable, this kind of shepherd education, the most suitable is to give birth to the strong, because there is no clear goal and mission, it will be extremely sensitive to the changes around it, once you notice that the people around you are starting to become stronger, you will also realize the existence of a sense of crisis.
