Whether it is the English cuisine of Finglan eggs or the French cuisine of cream stewed oysters, they are the existence of top cuisine, and the taste is not very tricky, so it can cater to the taste of the public.

After Sikong Yao had a full meal, he didn't feel much sleep, although it was already late at night in Canada at this time, but counting the time difference, Sikong Yao's body only stayed at more than eight o'clock, if he would be sleepy now, it would definitely be narcolepsy.

However, after sitting on the plane for more than eight hours in a row, the human body will not be able to bear it all the way, although Sikong Yao is used to such a tiring journey, but Roman Monet is a little unbearable when he is so old, and after eating, he shouts to rest.

Sikong Yao originally wanted to order more desserts, but in the end she had to give up, without Roman Monet's words, she couldn't understand what was written on the menu. Because the dessert column is all in French, and the British food is so simple that there are no representative works that can be used.

Sikong Yao could have reluctantly ordered one, after all, the taste of desserts is mostly the same, and there will be no particularly spicy or sharp flavors like cooking, basically any dessert is acceptable, but Sikong Yao didn't know how to communicate with the waiter, and he was hungry for a long time, and finally had to give up.

Roman Monet yawned and said with a tired face: "I'm sleepy." Let's go back to your room and rest, and if you like it, just walk around by yourself and don't go too far. ”

Sikong Yao nodded and continued to savor the rest of the food on the table, "Go ahead, I still want to eat something." ”

Roman Monet snorted and said, "Young people are good, they can eat so many things, and they digest it twice as fast." ”

After Roman Monet left, Sikong Yao still reluctantly flipped through the menu and read it many times. I kept thinking about it in the dessert column. Using French words she couldn't understand to deduce what kind of dessert it would be, and fantasizing endlessly.

"Damn, why don't you speak Chinese here!" Sikong Yao grumbled stupidly, even though food is the common language of mankind. But obviously there is no way to communicate at this time.

Poor Sikong Yao turned the menu over and over again, and he couldn't find half of the Chinese. A "pop" snaps the menu shut. Unhappily ready to leave.

At this time, a person suddenly came over and unexpectedly communicated with Sikong Yao in Chinese: "Hello, is there anything that can help you?" ”

Sikong Yao was suddenly stunned. Raise your head and look at the young man who appeared in front of him, about twenty-three or four years old, dressed very casually, a cotton shirt plus sports shorts and canvas shoes, with an indescribable vitality atmosphere, but the facial features are not unique to Asians, with an obvious hooked nose, not the Chinese that Sikong Yao thought.

"Do you speak Chinese?" Sikong Yao asked curiously.

The young man nodded and said, "It's not a very unusual thing to know Chinese in Canada." ”

In fact, the population of Canada is about 33.61 million, and there are nearly 1.2 million Chinese, according to the latest data from a local Canadian data company called MANIFOLD, there are 460,000 Chinese in the Greater Toronto Area, of which Scarborough and Toronto have the largest Chinese population, with 101,000 and 91,000 respectively, as for the proportion of the population, Markham is the largest, and the Chinese population in Markham City accounts for 21.57% of the total population. In recent years, on average, more than 20,000 Chinese have immigrated to Canada every year, accounting for nearly 10% of the total number of immigrants, and there are about 200,000 Chinese Canadians, so in addition to the two official languages of French and English, there is actually a third informal language popular in Canada, that is, Chinese.

The young man added, "My mother is Chinese-Canadian, so I can speak Chinese. ”

In Canada, mixed race is a very common thing, and it is not surprising, Sikong Yao then remembered why when he arrived in Canada, the people around him gave him an indescribable weird feeling, it turned out that it was because of this.

Sikong Yao smiled, this luck is really good, I didn't expect to meet people who can speak Chinese in Canada, Sikong Yao smiled: "So that's the case." ”

The young man suddenly noticed that there were still muffins on the table, and immediately laughed: "My name is Crido, and I am the chef of this hotel." ”

Sikong Yao's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in surprise: "You are the chef here?" So young? ”

A little surprising to Sikong Yao, although this restaurant is not a Michelin-starred restaurant, she thought that if she was enough to cook people in the hotel next to the airport, there should be people of a certain age. This gives the impression of being very experienced, after all, the average young chef is not up to the task of dealing with customers from all over the world.

Cledo laughed, "Well, isn't that weird? ”

Sikong Yao shook his head lightly and said, "Haha, it won't be, I just felt a little surprised, I didn't expect the chef in this restaurant to be so young, I thought it would be the kind of middle-aged man who is bald and has a big belly that has been fishing for many years." ”

Crrido laughed, and then said: "There are actually a lot of people in the kitchen like you said, but those are all chefs who do the main dishes, and I am still far behind, and sometimes I wonder if the level of the chef is divided by the stomach, the bigger the grade, the higher the grade." ”

Sikong Yao said with a little disgust: "Then I'd rather be at the lowest level for the rest of my life." ”

Crido said with a little curiosity, "You're also a chef?" ”

Sikong Yao nodded and said, "Well, although he is only an apprentice at present, he will soon become a professional pastry chef, and he will definitely be able to do so in the near future." ”

"Eh-" Cledo said with a little emotion, "what a coincidence, I'm also a pastry chef." ”

Sikong Yao's eyes widened, only to find that Clideo's gaze always swept to the muffin on the table, at first Sikong Yao thought he was greedy, but then he realized that he was very concerned about what the muffin looked like in the eyes of the guests.

Sikong Yao asked, "Then you made this muffin?" ”

Cledo nodded and said, "Yes, how do you feel?" ”

Sikong Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie." ”

Cledo laughed self-deprecatingly, "Spare me, just don't say it too ugly." ”

Sikong Yao nodded, "I understand." ”

Muffins are actually a type of bread, usually baking powder or baking soda as baking enzymes, which are basically bread-like things; You can put it in a toaster and bake it with cream, or you can eat it with cheese, omelette, or grilled meat.

Most cooking is all about colour and flavour, and muffins are no exception, often served with fruit or nuts to make them look good, such as the one in front of you with pineapple pulp and jam.

Of course, muffins can also be prepared with cheese, herb flavor or meat, so an alternative way to eat, you need some little secrets, after the dry ingredients are ready, you must mix the wet ingredients in another container, gently mix the dry ingredients with a stirring method, mix until all are moist, the mixed batter should be granular and not smooth, do not think that you are not stirring evenly and over-stirring, this will bake a dry and hard rather than fluffy muffin, a bit like pizza.

Sikong Yao explained to Krido: "To be honest, although the taste of this muffin is good, the taste is still a little worse, you should add a little bit of self-rising flour to the low-gluten flour, so that it will be much fluffier, not so shriveled." After all, it's not pizza, and if you want to eat muffins, the dough will be fluffier and more delicious. ”

Self-rising flour is a mixture of flour and food additives. The key to spontaneous powder is food additives, which are leavening agents, also known as loosening agents. Leavening agents can be divided into two categories: alkaline leavening agents and composite leavening agents. The use of a single alkaline leavening agent, the taste of the product is poor, so people often use compound leavening agent. The compound leavening agent used in the self-rising powder is used. In the process of cooking, baking or frying, the alkali agent and the acid agent undergo a neutralization reaction, release carbon dioxide gas, make the dough or egg batter gradually increase in volume, and finally make steamed bread, cakes or fritters. There are no alkaline substances left in its products, which improves the quality of products. The key to the compound leavening agent is the selection of acid. Tests have shown that the potency and product quality of leavening agents can be fully improved if the acid used is properly selected.

Krido thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "Thank you for the advice, I remember." ”

Sikong Yao hurriedly shirked and said: "It's not advice, I'm just mentioning my own opinion, after all, this is for my personal taste, and I don't know what other people think." ”

Cledo shook his head slightly and said: "Actually, there are quite a few customers who report that the muffins are a little dry, and the effect is not very satisfactory after being paired with too sweet pineapple sauce, so we have to improve it in the future." ”

Sikong Yao nodded and said, "That's it, that's okay, but you should be careful with the spontaneous powder, the ratio to the flour is 0.02 to 1 or 1.5, don't put too much." ”

Crido listened carefully, then tried that combination in his mind, and with his own abilities and experience he could deduce what it would be like.

As if he had been enlightened, Cledo exclaimed, "Thank you so much for your valuable advice. (To be continued......)
