It didn't take long for Gao Dian to bring out two delicate lily cakes, which made people feel that they were real flowers at a glance.

Judging from the appearance, it is a little better than what Li Dongyang has done, of course, the gap is not obvious, and ordinary people can't tell it at all.

You must know that being able to become a first-class pastry chef means that he has reached the point of impeccable in every aspect, and his appearance is naturally not bad.

And Gao Dian's cooking skills are higher than Li Dongyang's, so Gao Dian's cooking is a little better-looking.

The obvious difference is that Gao Dian made it has a floral fragrance.

This is a modified version of Gao Dian's own.

Of course, the oil and hydrosol used for the fragrance of the flower were not just obtained, but they were made in the morning.

He is also selling lily crisp here, with floral oil and lily hydrosol, naturally he will prepare in advance, otherwise if he gets it now, I don't know how long it will take.

Li Dongyang picked one up and put it to his mouth, his face changed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart, why does this lily cake have a floral fragrance?

Then, he put it in his mouth and tasted it, the taste was different from the original lily crisp, although the appearance was similar, but the taste had changed a lot.

Although it is only added with floral fragrance, the chain reaction is not so simple, and it can be said that the whole recipe has been changed.

At that time, when Gao Dian was improving, he thought that only the fragrance of flowers would be added, but he didn't expect to change the same, and everything else had to be changed. This recipe was also revised for a long time before it was settled.

Tasting and tasting, Li Dongyang's face became more and more gloomy, he found that he had lost, whether in terms of taste or skill, the lily cake he made was not as good as Gao Dian's.

And this gap is still a bit big.

This hit him a little, he used the master's high-end version of the lily cake, how could he lose so badly?

You know, his master is a pastry master, and lily cake is one of his unique skills.

"Don't be discouraged, it's normal for you to lose to him." Wei Qiaoyi saw that something was wrong with Li Dongyang's state, so he spoke.

Hearing this, Li Dongyang was a little unhappy in his heart, what does this mean, is he destined to be inferior to Gao Dian?

He admits that Gao Dian is better than him now, but he should be better than him.

"I'll catch up." Li Dongyang said unadmittedly.

Wei Qiaoyi glanced at him and said, "Wait for you to get out of your own way, and then say this." ”

Li Dongyang looked at Wei Qiaoyi with an unconvinced face and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi said: "Didn't you taste the difference between the lily cake that Gao Dian made now and the one he made before?" ”

He frowned and said, "I tasted different, but what does this mean?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi said: "Do you know that the lily cake made by Gao Dian now is no longer the previous recipe, this lily cake recipe can be said to be exclusive to Gao Dian." ”

Li Dongyang understood this, which meant that Gao Dian had improved the formula, which was different from before, but he didn't understand, what was the difference between this and that he was not as good as Gao Dian.

"Your recipe is indeed better, but it's not your own, you have limited knowledge of the recipe, and you can't play the original level of the recipe. But Gao Dian is different, his own improved formula, with his own understanding, he can give full play to the original level of the formula 100%. That's the gap. ”

Wei Qiaoyi said.

When Gao Dian heard this, he had a sudden sense of enlightenment, and he really felt that he was more comfortable making lily cakes.

Obviously, he knows how to make a better recipe for knife-cut noodles, but now the lily cake he makes is the most delicious.

Before, he understood something in his heart, but he was not thoroughly clicked, and he was a little vague, but now that Wei Qiaoyi said this, he completely understood.

Li Dongyang fell silent, he understood the meaning of Wei Qiaoyi's words.

From this point of view, the gap between him and Gao Dian is indeed very large.

While he was still studying, Gao Dian began to improve.

"Ahem, let's not talk about this, let's try my newly bought stone mill." Gao Dian hurriedly coughed twice.

The atmosphere was a little too oppressive at this time, and he changed the subject.

Wei Qiaoyi became interested and asked, "What are you going to do when you buy a stone mill?" ”

There are many things that can be made with a stone mill, the most typical being tofu.

In the past, there was no machine to make tofu, and there was no such condition, so it was all pushed by a stone mill.

Although a stone mill can make a lot of pastry, most of the pastry does not need to be made from grinding.

Like flour, these are all ready-made, and who starts grinding from beans.

Wei Qiaoyi is a little strange, what does Gao Dian want to do with the stone mill?

Gao Dian smiled: "Make corn buns." ”

Wei Qiaoyi was stunned, he didn't expect that what Gao Dian was going to do was this.

Corn bun is a home-cooked pastry, and many people are familiar with it.

The recipe for this pastry is also very simple, grind corn into flour, add flour and yeast to stir and ferment, and finally steam it in a pot.

Although the method is simple, the corn bun is indeed a delicious pastry, sweet and soft, with a strong corn aroma.

Gao Dian moved the stone mill into the kitchen and found a place to put it down.

There are a lot of things in his kitchen, and this stone mill is really not easy to put down for a while.

Fortunately, he took a seat here and there, and he could be regarded as making a little position, and he barely put down the stone mill.

This new stone mill must be carefully cleaned, and there is still fine grit on it, which is not easy to detect with the naked eye, but it is difficult to eat in the mouth.

Wei Qiaoyi and Li Dongyang didn't take it outside, but watched Gao Dian make corn buns in the kitchen together.

Gao Dian washed it several times, and he didn't stop until he couldn't feel the grains of sand.

He took out the fresh corn, opened the skin, and did not discard it, but kept the innermost part and washed it.

He was going to use fresh corn to make corn buns.

It is the same corn bun, but there are many ways, using fresh corn to make one, and using dried corn to do another another.

Of course, no matter which approach it is, there is no superiority or inferiority, but each has its own merits.

Fresh corn is made, and the corn taste is more fresh; Dried corn has a more mellow taste.

Gao Dian chose to use fresh corn for it, not only because he liked the taste of fresh corn more, but also because he needed to use fresh corn leaves!

Since the last time I went to City C and learned how to make yellow cakes, Gao Dian has a strong interest in using leaves to cook pastry.

He plucked the corn, ground it in a stone mill, and then strained it with gauze, leaving only the water part.

He then added flour and yeast and set aside to ferment.

The leaves are cut with scissors, cut off on both sides and washed carefully.

After fermentation, put it on top of the leaves, arrange the shape, and put it in the steamer.

After completing this series of operations, Gao Dian began to recall that he had done something bad.

It doesn't take too long to steam the corn buns, and they will be steamed quickly.

Take it out, the aroma is tangy, a strong corn fragrance, sweet and fragrant.

"Come and try what I made." Gao Dian greeted.

The two walked over, one picking up the other.

The corn buns that have just come out of the pot have a relatively high temperature.

After blowing, the two of them slowly began to eat.

Gao Dian also began to eat, he took a bite of it, it was soft and glutinous and sweet, and the taste was a bit like a cake, but it was a little more tough than a cake.

The flavor of the corn is very strong, the sweet taste of fresh corn is all preserved, and the leaves of the corn are also wrapped to preserve the flavor to the greatest extent.

"It's delicious, sweet but not greasy, fragrant and soft." Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's the first time I did it, and there are still a lot of things to be desired." Gao Dian said.

He has just seen it with a plug-in, and there are still many shortcomings, that is, this pastry is simple, and his cooking skills are very high now.

So even if it was the first time I did it, I achieved a qualified level.

Li Dongyang, who was on the side, was surprised when he heard this: "This is the first time you have done it?" ”

"yes, the stone mill was just brought back." Gao Dian said with a smile.

Li Dongyang suddenly fell silent, you told me that this is the first time you have done it?

For a moment, he felt that he had been hit again.

Originally, he came here today because he was proud of the spring breeze and came to show off.

But the successive blows made him reach the level of a first-class pastry chef, and it seemed that he was not worth being happy about.

Li Dongyang sighed slightly in his heart, he somewhat understood Zhou Yongqing's mood.

But he was not so easy to defeat after all, and he quickly mustered up his confidence, since the gap was very large, then try to close the gap.

Just thinking about it, Wei Qiaoyi suddenly asked: "Li Dongyang, your level has reached the first-level pastry master, what are your plans next?" ”

Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Plans?" I don't have any plans. ”

Wei Qiaoyi looked at him deeply and said, "Do you plan to stay with your master in the future?" ”

Li Dongyang nodded, he didn't think about leaving.

"Don't you know that after every chef becomes a first-class pastry chef, he needs to go out on his own and take charge of his own business, you know, the young eagle has to fly by itself after all." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian listened to it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and there was nothing wrong with this.

But just now Wei Qiaoyi discussed with him about opening a store in partnership, and now he is talking about this with Li Dongyang, and the purpose is very clear.

It takes space to open a store, but it also needs people.

According to what Wei Qiaoyi said, if you open a high-end hotel, just him and Wei Qiaoyi are definitely not enough, since this is the case, then it is necessary to recruit manpower.

It's just that Gao Dian didn't expect that Wei Qiaoyi would hit Li Dongyang with his idea, of course, Gao Dian didn't speak, because he felt that he could fool Li Dongyang...... Ah no, it's nice to hire it.

Now Li Dongyang has become a first-class pastry chef, so later, it is not impossible to become a special first-class pastry chef.

Gao Dian shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too far, and he hadn't thought clearly about whether to open a store together.

When Li Dongyang heard Wei Qiaoyi's words, he was a little confused for a while, he admitted that what Wei Qiaoyi said was very reasonable, but the question was, what does it have to do with Wei Qiaoyi if he can't leave?

"But I didn't think about leaving yet." Li Dongyang said.

"No, it's not a good thing for you to leave and stay in the Taste Building. Don't you want to catch up with Gaodian, if you've been in the Taste Building, then you don't want to catch up. Wei Qiaoyi said.

Other words can't impress Li Dongyang, because he is very Buddhist about not leaving. But Wei Qiaoyi's last sentence made him a little moved.

He really wanted to catch up with Gao Dian, because Gao Dian was regarded by him as a lifelong enemy, and he was not to be left behind.

"Why do you say that?" Li Dongyang asked.

"It's very simple, when you were still under the protection of your master, Gao Dian had already left all the shelter and faced all the wind and rain alone." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Li Dongyang was silent, his eyes flashing.

Gao Dian sighed in his heart, it's over, this kid is probably fooled.

Wei Qiaoyi finally said: "Think about it, a first-class pastry chef should face it alone, the flowers under the greenhouse will never bloom bright enough." ”

Li Dongyang didn't speak, but his expression was serious and serious.

After a while, Li Dongyang said goodbye and left, and Gao Dian sent him out the door.

When he returned to the store, he said with a helpless expression: "Is it really good that you fool him like this?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi smiled: "Who do you say I fooled?" Li Dongyang? ”

"Or else?" Gao Dian said.

"You're wrong, I didn't fool him, I told the truth." Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Honestly? Can your expired chicken soup tell the truth? Gao Dian rolled his eyes.

What Wei Qiaoyi said, in his eyes, is chicken soup.

The smile on Wei Qiaoyi's face retracted, and she said seriously: "No, this is not chicken soup. Actually, even if I hadn't said these things to him, his master would have said them to him. ”

This made Gao Dian a little puzzled, and asked, "Why?" ”

"When a person becomes a first-class pastry chef, it means that he has the qualification to be in charge of his own business, and in some mid-range restaurants, he can be an executive chef." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian nodded and said, "But, what does this have to do with letting him leave the Taste Building?" ”

"Of course it matters, if he stays in the taste building all the time, it will be difficult for him to grow, and he can only grow faster if he comes out and wanders alone." Wei Qiaoyi said.

"That's the case with all first-class pastry chefs?" Gao Dian asked.

"Of course not, there are also pastry chefs who have always been under the protection of the master, but the achievements of such first-class pastry masters are also limited. Why do you think you come out alone to face the wind and rain, this is related to the road to becoming a special first-class pastry chef. Wei Qiaoyi said.

When Gao Dian heard this, his heart was shocked, "What is the road of a special first-class pastry chef?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi glanced at Gao Dian and said, "It's too early to tell you this. ”

"It's still early? So when is it not too early? Gao Dian asked.

He is at the upper level of a first-class pastry master, and he was actually said by Wei Qiaoyi that it was too early.

"When you go any further, it won't be too early." Wei Qiaoyi said.

"Where can I go any further?" Gao Dian asked.

"Be the top!" Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian was silent, absorbing Wei Qiaoyi's words.

Become a top ...... So what does it look like to be top-notch?

After a while, Gao Dian gathered his thoughts and asked, "So, you weren't fooling him just now?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi smiled: "Of course not all, although you need to come out alone to become a first-class pastry chef, it is not so early, he has just reached this level." ”

"So, flickered, but not completely?"

"Correct."
