Chapter 51: Desserts with Salt

The assessment site of Group G is different from the mountain environment hotel area where Kohei Chuangzhen is located, there is not much wild interest here, but outside this hotel, there is an extremely wide lawn and garden.

There is even a labyrinth-like place with manicured trees for visitors to frolic in.

If you don't like the trees, you can also play polo or ride a horse on the lawn.

In short, here you can experience the aristocratic activities and life of England, and Zhao Youqian was assigned here this time because Nagi Senzaemon intended to let him see the style of British cuisine.

The topics of the assessment are desserts that he has not revealed, and he seems to be quite bad at them.

As soon as he entered the assessment room, Zhao Youqian saw the blonde tsundere standing in the center of the examination room, exuding her unique charm.

"Speaking of which, this assessment question should be regarded as playing into her arms..."

His eyes swept over Erina Nagikiri, and after Zhao Youqian looked around, he came directly to the lecturer's seat.

Already wearing white chef robes, some of the students in Group G were relieved when they saw that their assessment teacher was Zhao Youqian, while others became more and more nervous.

Of course, no matter what they think, Zhao Youqian is already here.

"Listen, your exam question is very simple, it is to use the ingredients in this cooking room to make a dessert, whether it is a cake, a refreshment, or a drink, you can do it!"

Looking at the students who were already smiling, Zhao Youqian also showed a smile.

"Of course, because I don't have a sweet tooth."

"So I'll put a condition on the dessert, I'm going to taste the dessert with salt!"

"No matter what salt you use or how you add it, if you can taste a delicious and salty dessert through my mouth, then you are qualified!"

"Otherwise, you'll be expelled from school!"

looked at the time, because it was an assessment for making desserts, the time set by Zhao Youqian was also slightly longer.

"Look at the time now, you have an hour and a half to cook often!"

"Assessment... Start now!! ”

Without any foreplay or greetings, as soon as Zhao Youqian entered the classroom, he had already announced the topics and requirements for the assessment.

The students who were not yet mentally prepared showed a panicked look.

"What, does it take an hour and a half to come up with a recipe and make it?"

"Oh my God, desserts, desserts with salt, how do you do that?"

There are many students who are not skilled in dessert making in this group, but it is also a test that they must go through.

A qualified dessert, if you can calm down and conceive it, is actually not difficult for these Yuanyue students who have already learned a lot of cooking knowledge.

The hard thing is whether they can apply what they have learned.

If that doesn't work... A gleam flashed in Zhao Youqian's eyes.

'Far Moon doesn't need this kind of waste!' ’

You must know that even Yao Dongfang has a cruel elimination mechanism, but there is no such thing as dropping out of school directly, after all, even if you can't become a chef, there are still other possibilities.

But you will be transferred out of the class, and the education and learning pace of different grades of classes are different.

This is also the reason why there are still elites in Yew Dongfang, there is no need for any natural elimination, but the teaching system has separated the real all-round chef from the rest of the chefs.

And what Zhao Youqian wants to inject into Yuanyue is also a similar system, but Yuanyue is used to this kind of elimination method and elite education, so what he has to do is to send those eliminated people to the next level of culinary school and continue to study, instead of only being reduced to the point of becoming the most basic cooking craftsman.

Protect their confidence and enterprising spirit in cooking, instead of becoming a tool without spirit if they fail, as they are now.

...

Group G is assessed in pairs, which is also due to the fact that if you make complex desserts, it will be easier for two people to operate, and there will be dough or cream whipped up, which will take time, and one person will definitely be too busy.

However, there are also outliers in groups of people.

Erina Nagikiri was one of them, and it seemed that none of her personal troubles would be absent to her, the youngest of the ten masters in the history of Enyue, who was dubbed the 'Tongue of the Gods', and the movements of her hands were gentle and fast.

Even Zhao Youqian has been observing the students around him, and he can't help but light up his eyes for her technique.

Separate egg yolks and egg whites, cream cheese, butter, whipped cream, milk, vanilla stalks, just a few more glances at Erina's cooking table, Zhao Youqian already knew what she wanted to do.

One of the most famous French desserts, the cloud-like cake, soufflé!

This dessert from French cuisine has a high reputation in the world, but there is a world of difference in the quality of the production.

However, for Erina, who has the tongue of God and aspires to the perfection of cooking, the pursuit of details and complex desserts happens to be what she is best at.

Even if Zhao Youqian asked that salt must be added, it was just a piece of cake for her.

'Sea salt cheese soufflé, isn't this a casual dish for Miss Ben?' ’

Erina Nagikiri even had time to glance at Zhao Youqian, who was observing the actions of the other students, but after just one glance, she lowered her head.

The original idea of wanting to compete with Zhao Youqian again did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger, but she also knew that Zhao Youqian's cooking skills were far ahead now.

'The first step is not the first, wait for me to catch up, see how I clean you up!' ’

The hatred in his heart is ruthless, and Erina's technique is becoming more and more refined.

Heat 150 grams of milk over water and mix 45 grams of butter, then pour in 50 grams of whipped cream and set aside.

Then mix three egg yolks with 20 grams of granulated sugar and stir evenly until there are no sugar granules, and then put in about 10 grams of finely sieved cornstarch, keep stirring until the cornstarch and egg yolk paste are completely fused, without a little particle, after a sieve, pour the liquid of the previous mixture of milk, butter and whipped cream into it.

At this step, Erina was extra careful, placing the mixture of the two in a pot that had been heated with water, and continuing to heat it, stirring continuously until the liquid began to thicken when heated, and even hung on the whisk used for stirring.

At this time, add the cream cheese that has been softened to butter at room temperature, and the vanilla seeds from the herb stalk, and stir well.

By this time, half of the soufflé was almost complete, and it was only at this point that Erina Nagi had the time to look around.

Sensing that he seemed to be the first person to finish, he couldn't help but smile confidently.

Then he threw himself into the final step of the soufflé.

Whisk egg whites!

It can be said that this step is the key to whether the taste of soufflé is as gentle as a cloud!

Add 55 grams of caster sugar and 10 grams of sea salt to the egg whites, and then beat them in an electric whisk.

Keep beating with an electric whisk until the egg white is foamy, and the whisk can be attached when the whisk lifts up, but it will fall off immediately, and then continue to whip it manually until the meringue on the whisk can stand and collapse downward, that is, the meringue has been beaten to the most appropriate time.

At this point, Soufflé was left only to mix the two, and just when Erina Nagi was looking forward to becoming the first qualified member, suddenly a figure quietly jumped out of the crowd and came to Zhao Youqian.

"Mentor Zhao, my dessert is ready, please taste it!"
