061. [Overworld] Blueberry Crisp from Stardew Valley
So I ordered coffee and salted egg yolk flavored chocolate.
According to the design, this chocolate should have been a food that could restore sanity, right?
However, after it was served by Mr. Kirisu himself, I don't know why there was an effect of "losing my mind".
"Why is the teacher working here today?"
"Well, it's actually because my friend is sick, so I'm just asking for a day to replace me. After all, this store has been short of manpower recently, and if she is missing, there will be problems in operation. Actually, I wanted to refuse, but the store manager also begged on the phone together, and I couldn't refuse her ruthlessly. β
"Tired, aren't you?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I was just making coffee in the background before, and I wasn't very tired."
"Teacher, how tired you are standing all the time. Come, sit and take a break. β
"Oh, no, there's still a lot of work to be done."
"That's right...... Why don't you help, too? β
Kirishu Zhendong looked at Nan Xiao in surprise: "You, help?" But here we are maids......"
"If the teacher makes coffee, I can help make Western sweets. It's not that I'm boasting, from turnip cake to buttery custard tarts, there's nothing I won't. My family's ancestral pastry craft is very confident in this aspect. β
Nan Xiao mixed Chinese in Japanese, confused Kirisu Matoshi, and even agreed to introduce him to the store manager.
The store manager is a middle-aged uncle in his 40s, who speaks roughly, and has the feeling of a macho man. He's the only person in the shop trained to make pastries and knows how to operate the big oven, which looks complicated at first glance. At the moment, he is the only one who can bake cakes and stuff, and the others can only make coffee.
Because of the good business, the store manager was so busy that he often had to take care of four or five pastries at the same time. Occasionally, one is baked, and I sigh in frustration. When you're in a hurry, you'll be happy to have someone help make snacks.
Not really.
The store manager rejected Kirisu-sensei's proposal.
"No, how can this be, no, no, no, although your desire to help is very good, yes, but this thing is still too difficult for beginners after all. I don't mind wasting some ingredients. But there are still a lot of guests waiting outside, if that fails......"
The store manager's idea cannot be said to be unreasonable. After all, making cakes is a technical job, and not all cats and dogs can do it. It's business hours, and the backstage is already busy. If Nan Xiaoyan has a low hand and comes up and smashes the cake ordered by the guest, what can I do?
At this time, it is time to talk about it. Nan Xiao coughed twice: "Store manager, do you know how to make blueberry mille-feuille?" β
"You know, brush the dough with egg wash, apply blueberry sauce and bake it in the oven."
"And where did the dough and blueberry jam come from?"
"ThisγOf course, I bought it from a wholesale supermarket for business useβ"
"Wrong!"
"Huh?"
"The dough rolled out by the machine has no soul at all! The dough did not knead the tendons, and failed! The salad oil is not evenly brushed and fails! The baking is not in place, the puff pastry is not swollen enough, and it fails! If blueberry jam is not freshly made on the same day with fresh blueberries, it will not have the unique fresh fragrance of blueberries, and it is a failure in failure! Such a blueberry mille-feuille cake is simply a failure! β
"Huh?"
"Manager, let me make a real 'blueberry mille-feuille' for you. In my grandfather's name, it's definitely more than all the blueberry mille-feuille you've seen so far! β
ββ¦β¦ Since you've said that, if I don't agree with it, it seems like I don't feel right. So, okay. β
So Nan Xiao began to make a "blueberry mille-feuille cake".
Seeing him roll up his sleeves, tie a white apron, and put on a bubble white hat, he really has the spirit of a celebrity chef. However, he stood in front of the cooking table full of ingredients, but he didn't move.
Kirisu Madon quietly asked the store manager, "Huh?" Why did Nanjun keep standing in a daze? I don't know how to make pastries, but the first step is to make noodles, right? β
The store manager thought for a while and said, "Actually, I think I've seen such a scene somewhere...... By the way, when I was learning pastry, a teacher also mentioned it. He said that just as a samurai writes a poem to express his emotions before going to war, a chef must also adjust his emotions...... It's a feeling of "gas bonding"! Nanjun claims to be proficient in West Point, which doesn't seem like nonsense. It is worthy of being a person from a big country in China, and it is really hidden. β
At this time, Nan Xiao spoke: "...... ThatγI have a question to ask. β
The store manager's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "Please speak." β
"You dough mixer...... How to use it? I used to knead it by hand. β
Poof-
Kirisu Mado and the store manager almost fell together.
ββ¦β¦ It's very simple, just press this button to open the secret door, take out the mixing cup, pour the appropriate amount of flour, the right amount of water, and then put it in, close the secret door, and press the red button next to it. β
"Oh oh, I see, I see."
It is worthy of the pastry secret technique from Stardew Valley, which is completely different from the practice of rotten streets on the Internet. The dough is sifted, blended, kneaded and thinned, brushed with oil and pastry, brushed with egg wash, then made with fresh blueberries for sauce and finally baked...... There are a lot of tips in it. It's very simple, but it's just unthinkable.
Soon, a crispy and delicious "blueberry mille-feuille" was ready.
The manager picked it up and began to taste it, and as soon as he took a bite, his eyes immediately widened.
ββ¦β¦ Isn't it tasty? Kirisu asked worriedly.
"It's delicious!" The manager shed two tears, "The dough is folded repeatedly and sealed tightly with butter to lock in the deliciousness and bake it just right." The dough is very thin, integrated and layered, crispy and tender. Topped with large grains of fresh blueberry jam, with just the right amount of sweetness and sourness, the soft sweetness slowly spreads on the tip of the tongue...... I really didn't expect that just ordinary ingredients can make such a delicious blueberry mille-feuille! β
This is tears? When you taste the real Stardew Valley blueberry mille-feuille, I'm afraid you will cry. Even if the method is the same, the pure natural flour, eggs and blueberries produced by Stardew Valley cannot be bought in the Overworld after all.
Seeing the intoxicated look of the store manager, Nan Xiao felt that his cooking skills had been verified.
A blueberry mille-feuille is nothing, and there are almost a hundred recipes that Master Tari has learned. A special dish every day, the tricks are not repeated, and you can play for more than three months. It seems that even if you can't get into the University of Tokyo, it's good to open a Western restaurant.
STOPοΌ Nan Xiao, Nan Xiao, you want to use the admission letter of Dongda to slap those people in the group, how can you give up halfway and run to open a Western restaurant?
Thinking about it like this, Nan Xiao decided to put the idea of a western restaurant on hold for the time being.
