Chapter 488: Nagasaki Cake
I have been worried about the matter of Yuan Fengxue on the battlefield, Sikong Yao almost knocked over a cup in her soul, and she has slowly integrated into the Renqian Taste House, and she has also begun to regard herself as a member of the store, and what happened in this store always makes her unable to let go easily.
I want to ask some things about the battlefield Yuan Fengxue from other employees, but the language barrier has always been a problem, but from everyone's vaguely embarrassed faces, Sikong Yao can guess some of the things that must have been misunderstood between the battlefield father and son.
Sikong Yao put the cup back in its place, and secretly glanced at the battlefield Yuan Ze, and after meeting his ignorant child, his expression didn't seem to change.
With a silent sigh in his heart, Sikong Yao finished today's work.
Another thing that gave her a headache was that she came to the Nizen Taste House, and it had been a week so far, but Battlefield Hara Sawami had no second choice other than letting her pinch sushi, which was roll sushi, so it could be called a culinary practice, which was a bit shabby.
At first, Sikong Yao felt that Ren Qianweiwu's work was too busy, so Battlefield Yuan Ze saw that there was no way to be distracted and take time to guide her in cooking practice, but in the past few days, Sikong Yao has slowly helped Ren Qianweiwu summarize some shortcomings, and also came up with a repair plan, which can be known from the closeness of the employees to Sikong Yao, and the effect is significant.
With this alone, there is no reason why Battlefield Hara Zemi should not start training Sikong Yao in cooking.
Originally, I was going to mention this matter to the battlefield Harasawa after work tonight, after all, I didn't really come to be a free worker for others. But it's not a coincidence, at this juncture, the appearance of the battlefield Yuan Fengxue made Sikong Yao have to delay this plan, and now if he touches the brows of the battlefield Yuan Zejian, it is estimated that he will not be able to eat any good fruit.
After sighing helplessly, Sikong Yao left the Renqian Flavor House and began to forage for food.
A few days ago, he had been taken by the battlefield Hara Zemi to eat Japanese food, and Sikong Yao was almost a passive person who accepted this cultural atmosphere. In addition to the ramen noodles eaten on the first day, Sikong Yao did not have much fun eating sashimi, natto and roast pork offal that he ate later.
Although it is indeed not a bad thing to have an authentic local person take Sikong Yao to appreciate the local culture, this local obviously does not know what Sikong Yao wants.
Sikong Yao is a pastry chef after all. I also yearn for those sweet and moist foods, and in Japan, there happens to be one thing that meets Sikong Yao's requirements, and that is Nagasaki cake.
Nagasaki cake is one of Japan's most famous confectionery, and it is served all over the world. It is also a unique delicacy.
In the 17th century, Portuguese missionaries and merchants came to Nagasaki with them with new things such as glass, tobacco, bread, etc., and in order to establish friendships with each other, these outsiders devised ways to curry favor with the locals, and the missionaries distributed wine to the nobles and food to the commoners, hoping to spread Christianity.
One of the sweets, made with sugar, eggs, and flour, became an instant hit, and that's how Nagasaki honey cake came about.
Sikong Yao had already done his homework before arriving in Japan, since Nagasaki cake was named after the place. Then the most delicious Nagasaki cake will also be located in Nagasaki Prefecture.
And now the most famous cake shop in Nagasaki is Fukusaya.
Fukushaya was originally used to deal in rice, sugar, etc. in Fujian, China, so it was named Fukushaya. It wasn't until the Portuguese came to Nagasaki that Fukusaya was the first to learn to make this kind of pastry made with flour, sugar, and eggs because of its resource advantages, and at that time, rice was still the main food in Japan at that time, and the sweets were also made from rice, so this kind of pastry made with flour, sugar, and eggs was immediately popular.
Arriving at the location of Fusha House, Sikong Yao began to have a headache at the long queue of windows, although he expected this to be the case. However, the number of guests is still frighteningly high.
It's not that Sikong Yao doesn't have the patience to wait, after all, for the sake of food, no matter how long he can afford it, it's just dessert. It's easy to sell the chimes, especially in Japan, where the nightlife isn't long.
What made Sikong Yao even more crazy was that there was a screen monitor on the signboard of Fukusha House, constantly scrolling to show how to make Nagasaki cakes.
Very thin, similar to yogurt-like batter. It is unusually smooth and delicate, and it is completely different from chiffon cake batter. Moreover, the wet ingredients in the batter were only eggs and syrup, and Sikong Yao could see at a glance that no liquids such as milk and butter had been added to it.
Sikong Yao was in awe, not only to beat the egg liquid densely and delicately without excessively, tepid just right, this is definitely not a day or two can learn the technical work of the family, the Fusha House, which has been passed down for sixteen generations, is really extraordinary.
Although the screen display did not show the whole process of Nagasaki cake, and some of the details were not filmed, Sikong Yao was able to integrate it with his own ability.
After hand-beating the egg whites into a dense and soft foam, add egg yolks and binocular sugar one by one and stir, and the pastry chef at home can judge the hardness of the batter according to the speed of the binocular sugar falling and the rustling sound, and then add sugar, syrup and flour at the most suitable time and mix well.
After the eggs are beaten thoroughly, when stirring with the flour, be sure to stir in the form of stirring from the bottom up, do not stir in circles, so as not to defoam the beaten eggs. If it is not properly whipped or stirred, it will affect the softness of the cake, and even cause the cake to not swell at all.
The most important step is to add honey, and although the authentic Nagasaki cake is made without honey, Fukusunaya still offers a choice of two flavors to cater to a wider range of tastes.
Looking at the same video playing over and over again on the screen monitor, Sikong Yao felt itchy in his heart, and then lowered his head to look at the endless dragon, and felt a sense of loss in his heart.
The faces of housewives who have already bought sweets to their satisfaction walk by one by one, housewives who buy them for their children, girls who bring them to the office tomorrow, and couples holding hands, all of them are full of happiness.
Shrugged helplessly, fortunately, the efficiency of Fukusha House is quite high, although the long queue is super long, but it is still slowly shortening, which is somewhat gratifying.
However, just when Sikong Yao withdrew his gaze from the pedestrian, a familiar face suddenly came into his eyes, Sikong Yao was stunned for a moment, and called out the person's name: "Battlefield Yuan Fengxue!" ”
Hearing someone call out his name in Chinese, Battlefield Yuan Feng Xueden was startled, and immediately searched for Sikong Yao's figure in the crowd, and said in surprise: "It's you?" ”
Sikong Yao smiled: "Haha, we met again, what a coincidence." ”
Battlefield Yuan Fengxue seemed to be still sulking with Sikong Yao, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, what a coincidence." ”
After speaking, the battlefield Yuan Fengxue didn't want to stay longer, and turned around to leave.
Sikong Yao hurriedly stopped him, and said angrily: "Hey, why are you like this, you don't even say hello, and I didn't offend you." ”
The battlefield Yuan Fengxue immediately stopped, it is true that Sikong Yao did not do anything to be sorry, and also helped himself find the answer to the confusion, so it seems that it is unreasonable to see her.
After he sighed, he reluctantly said, "You're here to buy cake too?" ”
Sikong Yao suddenly found that the battlefield Yuan Fengxue happened to be carrying a Nagasaki cake in his hand.
Sikong Yao smiled: "Haha, you are really hungry and want to eat, I said that you would like to eat, but you still refused, but ran so far to buy cakes by yourself?" ”
Battlefield Yuan Fengxue's face was slightly red because of Sikong Yao's ridicule, and she said disdainfully: "What do you know!" You don't know anything at all! ”
Sikong Yao, who was more and more sure of the contradictions between the father and son of the battlefield, planned to start from the battlefield Yuan Fengxue, after all, if he was the same age, he was still easier to talk to, and after several contacts, Sikong Yao felt that although the character of the battlefield Yuan Fengxue was a little impetuous, his heart was not bad, and when he was in Grandpa Eel, he also bought it for Sikong Yao.
Sikong Yao went further, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I don't understand, but at least I know how to make the cake delicious, so I want to see if this Fukushaya Nagasaki cake is really that famous." ”
Battlefield Yuan Fengxue paused slightly, and the meaning of Sikong Yao's words was obviously for the Nagasaki cake in his hand.
With a cold snort, Battlefield Yuan Fengxue said reluctantly: "If you don't add honey, come with me." ”
Sikong Yao was overjoyed, this battlefield Yuan Fengxue is really easy to speak, and he doesn't have to endure the long queue, it is really a happy thing.
Unlike other cake shops, where egg whites and other ingredients are mixed and mixed mechanically, Fukusaya's Nagasaki cakes have a creamier texture. In the baking process, the friction between the coarse binocular sugar and the batter can make the egg batter exude a unique sugar aroma after baking, a part of the binocular sugar is slowly integrated into the batter due to stirring, and a part of the undissolved particles settle at the bottom layer, which produces a creaking and crunchy texture after baking, which not only balances the sweetness of the cake, but also highlights the three-dimensional layering of the taste.
"It's because of the use of binocular candy, I see, this is a good thing, I have to write it down."
Sikong Yao muttered to herself, unearthing the secret from the Nagasaki cake in Fukushaya, and remembering it deeply in her heart so that she could use it for herself in the future. (To be continued.) )
