Chapter 193: Drawing Silk Snowflakes and Coconut Puff Towers

Puff Tart is a super-difficult dessert that is one of the most difficult dishes in Western baking techniques!

Generally speaking, in Western countries, except for some important days such as the New Year's Festival, people rarely make such a dessert on weekdays.

One is that making this dessert is very difficult, the process is tedious, and the time spent is ridiculous. Second, this dessert is not something that everyone can make, and it is difficult for a chef who has not undergone a certain amount of professional pastry baking technology training to complete this dessert!

It is precisely because of this relationship that Qi Lei can have the confidence and grasp to talk about today's business!

180 grams of butter, 540 grams of water, a little caster sugar, a little salt, 360 grams of low flour, 12 eggs, 4 egg yolks, a bottle of milk, 90 grams of syrup, 600 grams of sugar......

I saw that the workbench on the far left in the kitchen was full of ingredients for making zuò puff towers, and there were three ingredients for puff towers!

And Qi Lei had already taken off his coat at this time, and the long sleeves of his inner shirt were also pulled to the elbow position, and he looked like he was ready to start work.

Next to his workbench stood three people, the owner and chef of the restaurant, Gordon. Ramsay and his sommere Jean. Philip, and Sous Chef Kate.

The three of them all looked incredulous at this time, waiting for Qi Lei to start working on the production in his hand......

But not to mention the three of them, even the celebrities in the American entertainment industry sitting outside the restaurant were surprised and unbelievable that Qi Lei cooked this dessert!

Puff Tower!! ~~ Do you think it's as easy to bake as a simple puff? Even professional chefs can't say that they can make a dessert dish in one go, or how good it is!

And now, a person like Qi Lei, who is not a professional chef but a professional star, is making this dish...... Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, the fact that he did it alone is enough to shock them.

Of course, the Americans are surprised and incredible, but the Chinese will not! Especially the two beauties Li Bingbing and Lin Chiling, who are Qi Lei's girlfriends, sat there with a relaxed face and chatted enthusiastically with Jack and other American entertainment celebrities.

Only Qi Lei's agent A KING, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi and a few others were a little fluctuating in their hearts at this time, worried that Qi Lei would make a fool of himself!

Like several celebrities in the American entertainment industry here, several of them are also very worried about whether Qi Lei can make this kind of dim sum.

At this time, Yang Mi couldn't help but secretly pulled the corner of Li Bingbing's clothes, and asked nervously: "Hey~~ Sister Bing, do you say that Brother Qi can make this dim sum?" I look at these Americans, as if this telecommunications is difficult to control!? Is that so? ”

"Don't worry! ~Reviver can do it. Li Bingbing patted the back of Yang Mi's tender hand and comforted him.

"However, Bingbing is not ordinary this time!! Puff Tart is the most advanced difficulty in Western dim sum, is it really possible for Reviver to make it? KING INTERJECTED AND ASKED ANXIOUSLY.

"Don't worry, Ah Lei's cooking skills are very good! I believe in him~" Li Bingbing has full confidence in her boyfriend.

……

On the other side, Qi Lei had already begun to powder the zuò cake base at this time. And Gordon, the chef of the restaurant standing next to him, asked him very unexpectedly: "Mr. Qi, are you sure you want to make a puff tower?" ”

"Yes."

"~~" Gordon was speechless for a while, and stood there a little stupidly and watched Qi Lei handle all kinds of ingredients quite familiarly: "This is a super difficult dessert, are you sure you can do it?" ”

"No problem, Mr. Gordon! Although I am not a professional chef, I can still make a puff tower. After saying this, Gordon was completely speechless by Qi Lei's confidence. …,

What can be said? Although the experience of having guests cook their own food like this is not unheard of in his daily restaurant management.

But like today, he was originally a VIP with whom he had an appointment to discuss important cooperation matters, but now he went down to the kitchen to cook by himself, and he was still a foreign guest of a star artist...... This is the first time Gordon has encountered such a thing.

You must know that in the past, some of the VIPs received by Gordon were all admired by the restaurant to enjoy the food they cooked by themselves, so like Qi Lei, who was obviously a VIP but put forward this kind of personal cooking request, and he was also a person who cooked super difficult dishes?

Can't figure it out...... For a moment, Gordon's heart was full of question marks.

And what about Qi Lei's side, why did he make such a request!?

In fact, it was not that he wanted to do this, but he had to do it as a last resort! Because of one thing......

In fact, this qiē is all for the sake of successfully winning the cooperation with NBC today and producing several variety entertainment programs planned by Zuò's own studio! …… That's why Qi Lei proposed to cook.

Of course, many people say that he can have a good talk with the people at NBC, so why do he have to be busy with such a tiring thing that doesn't pay for his life, and in the end he doesn't know if he can get unanimous praise and recognition from others?

What I want to say here is that in fact, Qi Lei has been planning to use some method to make this happen happen from the beginning.

Because Qi Lei knew that when it came to business negotiations, there was absolutely no one in their group who could match it, and NBC Bob, who had been in the business world for many years. Wright theirs.

If this doesn't work, then the only way to win is to do it!

This is also the reason why when Ghost and NBC's Bob started talking, they suddenly asked those very deep questions. In fact, he did this in order to pretend to be a possibility, so that the other party would not be able to figure out his situation and lose his judgment, so that he could get the result he wanted more smoothly! That's it......

If it is more straightforward, it is that Qi Lei has been pretending to be B all the time during his conversation with Bob!

But fortunately, Reviver's B installation this time was successful! Not to mention that Jack, an old acquaintance of the same company, and the two deacons of the Actors Guild were surprised by his cooking. Even Reviver pretends to be the object of NBC CEO Bob . Wright, too, was blindsided by this matter for a while, and forgot how to talk about cooperation in detail.

……

Place the biscuits and cereal in a safe bag and roll out with a rolling pin, then take out a cake tin and spread a suitable sheet of baking paper. Then add an appropriate amount of cream to the syrup, cereal and biscuit crumbs, spread evenly on the bottom of the mold with a spatula and put it in the refrigerator for later use.

After that, start to cut the butter, add the ingredients, boil over low heat, and start to make zuò puffs of various sizes and put them in the oven to bake. After that, you start making the ...... of filling the puffs

This qiē process, Qi Lei does it naturally and smoothly. Chef Gordon, his head chef and his sous chef and the sous chef, who watched smoothly, stared wide and couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

"Wow~~~ That's amazing, this Chinese star!" Sommelette Jean. Philip couldn't help but praise.

"The craftsmanship is really good, maybe he can really make this dim sum dish!" Sous Chef Kate now believes a little bit in Reviver.

"Well~~ is very good, the mix of water, oil, and syrup, and then the baking of the cake base and the baking of puffs...... This Chinese star obviously has kitchen cooking experience, maybe he used to be a famous chef! It's amazing! ~" Even Gordon, who has always been very strict with food, praised it.

"It's so fragrant, this taste~~ I really want to eat it!" Sommelette Jean. Philip said as he put his head forward and smelled the freshly baked puffs. …,

"If you want to eat, come~ taste how it tastes!" Wizard filled three puffs and handed them to Gordon.

"Whew~~It's hot, it's hot~~"

"Well~~ It's so fragrant and sweet! ~”

"This sweetness ~ this fragrance...... Is it vanilla? And the granular stuffing in the filling, is it coconut pulp, right? And the perfect baking time to make this slightly browned and caramelized crispy ...... Squeak~ What a good dish! ~~Oh, Hallelujah~~ It's delicious! Gordon tasted the puffs, and by the end he couldn't help but utter the mantra he used to say when he ate delicious dishes.

After the three of them finished eating, they picked up a fine peck and ate it slowly......

After a while, Gordon came back to his senses and asked Qi Lei, "It's delicious!" …… I can't believe Mr. Qi, you are a celebrity and not a dim sum chef, I am curious that you are so busy with your star work, where did you learn this dim sum baking technique!? ”

"Hehe~ That's when I came back from working in a star-rated restaurant before I became a star." Qi Lei replied.

That's right, but it's not entirely true.

Because if it weren't for the first time, Qi Lei did work in a restaurant after graduating from college to learn to be a chef. But after doing it all over again...... There is no possibility of this qiē happening!

Although this is true, it is easy to remember when you get started with technology. So even though Qi Lei has never worked in a restaurant now, his previous experience can still help him become a master chef.

When the puffs are all filled with fillings, it's time to build the tower. Here, Quan Lei did not stick to the syrup and build the tower empty-handed, but took out a cone mold and used the inverted mold to make the zuò puff tower.

Starting from the smallest spire, picking up the puffs and placing them, and then picking up the puffs and placing them, Qi Lei carefully inverted the puffs in the mold one by one until all the puffs were placed.

The next step is to pick up the mold filled with puffs, go to the faucet, twist the switch, and wash the mold with cold water to let the puff tower inside cool and solidify.

After rinsing for a while, take it to the side of the workbench and use a cloth to dry the moisture on the surface of the mold, and pat the mold for a while...... At this time, a perfect puff tower has finally begun to take shape!

Finally, the boiled syrup is splashed in the air with a brush, and after the sugar shreds come out, hang the sugar shreds on the puff tower, and then sprinkle them on the sugar shreds with some pre-prepared decorative biscuit crumbs......

At this point, a complete and perfect silk puff tower has been announced!

……

When the waiter Philip and the two waiters appeared in the restaurant with three plates of tall puff towers, they were stunned and stunned by the group of Americans who were waiting to taste him, Jack and Qi Lei's own companions, Ah KING and Li Bingbing.

Even the other guests who came to the restaurant at this time were shocked by the sudden appearance of the three-puff tower at this time.

"Wow~~ It's a puff tower!?"

"Oh, God! ~What a perfect culinary work of art wow, it's really ~~"

"Puff Tower? Does Mr. Gordon make puff towers? It's really beautiful and delicious, and I want to eat it too! ~~”

"Mom, Mom, I want puffs!" A little girl tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and coquettishly behaved.

"Do~do~ made!! ~He really made it!! Jack was surprised.

"Wow~~ What an amazing guy!" The two deacons of the Actors Association looked at each other and praised.

"He's really good! ~"NBC Bob. Wright looked up at Reviver again.

"Haha~~ Qi Da is amazing!" Yang Mi and the women cheered loudly.

And when the three-course puff tower was brought to his three tables, Qi Lei rubbed the sweat on his forehead and said: "Come, this is my Qi Lei's special silk snowflake coconut puff tower, it's delicious!" Taste it......"
