Chapter 24: The choice of Gui Yanye (one more, ask for recommendation, ask for collection!) )

With the sound, the eyes of the four turned to Katsura Yanye, and Erina Nagikiri looked at the time, and it was not yet timeout.

"Wow~"

The moment Guiyanye turned on the oven, the aroma of eggs and milk mixed with the fragrance of flower petals swept through the audience like a tornado.

"It is! What a rich aroma! ”

"Sure enough, the disciple who was recognized by Brother Yang Cao is not an ordinary character."

"Oh! It smells so good! ”

The three of them sighed one after another, only Yang Cao, looking at Gui Yanye's eyes full of relief and satisfaction.

"Please also try my dish, ruby egg tart." Gui Yanye placed the egg tart on a dinner plate and presented it to the four people.

"It is! It's beautiful! Erina Nagikiri, Scarlet Sako Shinto, and Soma Kohei looked at the tart in shock.

Different from the common egg tarts, the egg tart skin is very light, and it is still wavy, with a smooth and flat golden yellow egg surface in the center, and the egg surface is inlaid with bright red stars, like a ruby inlaid in gold.

If Kohei Sojin's "Egg Bibimbap" is a fun toy box, then this "ruby egg tart" is a beautiful work of art.

"I see! Are roses used here? Erina Rina Nagi understood the purpose of the Katsura leaf to fresh roses.

"Yes, the fragrance of roses is elegant, which can very gently neutralize the greasy notes of eggs, milk and whipped cream, and the overall flavor is sublimated, and it is also softer and more refreshing." Gui Yanye said.

"And that's not all! Fragments of roses sprinkled on the ...... Wrong! You didn't spill it on a tart! Instead, it's baked with egg wash! But why? Why do the roasted rose chips look so tender? Erina Nagikiri was surprised.

"Because I bake the egg wash first, take it out when it's almost completely set, sprinkle it with crushed roses, then turn the oven to keep warm, and use the residual heat inside to slowly set the egg wash completely." Gui Yanye explained.

"I see!" Erina Nagikiri understood.

"Why isn't this tart scorched at all? I remember that the egg tarts were all a little burnt? And the faint burnt smell can enhance the taste of the egg tart, and the dough is not fluffy. Kohei asked.

"What you said should be Portuguese egg tarts and puff pastry egg tarts, and what she made is butter egg tarts, the characteristics of butter egg tarts are that the egg tart skin is coated with butter, and after grilling, the taste is more like cookies than crispy." Erina Nagi explained.

"Hey~ It turns out that there are so many types of egg tarts." Kohei Soma said he had learned again.

"But I think ...... You're just using cookies, right? Erina Nagikiri asked.

"Yes, cookies and tart crusts are made with low-gluten flour, but butter tart crusts have a ...... similar to cookie tart crusts The feeling of the four is not like it, and it has the hard taste of cookies, and it has a little fluffy feeling that an egg tart crust should have.

So I improved it a bit and chose to choose cookies instead of tart crusts. Gui Yanye explained.

"I see, it's a great improvement." Erina Nagikiri praised sincerely.

"Thank you."

"But the secret of this [Ruby Egg Tart] is more than that, right?" Yang Cao asked with interest.

"Yes, teacher, but please allow me to sell a pass, you can taste it again, the heart of this dish." Gui Yanye said.

Yang Cao nodded, picked up an egg tart and put it in his mouth.

It's the same with Erina Nagikiri, who is a little unconvinced right now, because she hasn't figured out what the core of what Yang Cao is talking about.

"This! This! Erina Nagikiri opened her eyes in shock and looked at Katsura Yanye with her mouth covered.

"I recognize your status as a disciple, but I won't admit defeat! I also want to become a disciple recognized by Brother Yang Cao, and take away your status as a big disciple! "Erina Nagi sent a war letter to Katsura Yanye.

"Only this, I will never give it to you!" Gui Yanye, who was originally quite weak, also burst out with boundless fighting intent and the will not to admit defeat at this time.

"Painted ...... Erina-sama! ”

"What's wrong? I don't think it's anything special, but Katsura's egg tarts are really delicious! Kohei said.

"Didn't you notice that this tart doesn't have a little sugar in it?" Erina Nagikiri reminded.

"How is that possible? It's sweet! ”

"Yes, Erina-sama, the sweetness is abundant, and there is a hint of freshness...... Xiang ......" As she spoke, Shinto Scarlet was stunned, and her pupils began to constrict.

"Did you find out?"

"Yes, Erina-sama, Katsura-san, she didn't use any sugar in this [Ruby Egg Tart], and the reason why it has a refreshing and ample sweetness is because she uses flower stamens!" Shinto Scarlet said.

"Stamen?" Kohei Soma tilted his head and wondered, this question was obviously beyond the scope of his knowledge.

"That's right, it's the stamen, the fresh rose itself has a faint sweetness, and the stamens are the place where the sweetness of roses is most concentrated, and the roses selected by Gui Yanye should have nectar in the stamens, so that there is no need to use sugar, and there is enough sweetness.

And unlike sugar, nectar itself can be regarded as a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, with multiple effects such as "tonifying the middle", "moisturizing dryness", "relieving pain", "detoxification", etc., while the rose itself also has the effect of harmonizing the abdomen, relaxing the muscles and invigorating the blood.

Therefore, this [ruby egg tart] is not only an exquisite pastry, but also a medicinal meal! Erina Nagikiri explained.

"Pap~Pap~Pap~"

"That's right, so Yan Ye, this [Ruby Egg Tart] of yours is not only qualified in my place, but also excellent." Yang Cao praised.

"Thanks! Thank you, teacher! Gui Yanye thanked excitedly, in her heart, no one's recognition and praise can compare to Yang Cao's recognition and praise.

"It turns out that a small egg tart actually hides so many secrets!" Kohei Soma was hit again, and looked at the egg tart in front of him in a daze.

"Erina, they should all pass, right?" Yang Cao asked.

"When...... Of course. Erina Nagi said, but she was still very arrogant.

"Well, then please take them to go through the admission procedures, I still have some things to do." Yang Cao said.

"Huh? Oh well. Erina Nagi was a little lost, and the opportunity to get along with Yang Cao was gone.

"Well, Yan Ye, you go first, I'll look for you later."

"Okay, teacher."

After Erina Nagi and Scarlet Sako Shinto left with the two of them, Yang Cao said lightly: "Okay, Grandpa Nagikiri, they are gone, you can come out." ”

"I can't hide it from you." Hearing this, Nagi Senzaemon, who knew that he had been found, walked out of the lounge on the side.

"Taste it, aren't you just waiting for this moment?" Yang Cao said.

"Hmm." Nagi Senzaemon nodded and tasted the two dishes separately.

"Hmm!"

"Smack~"

Sure enough, "Clothes Burst" is never absent.

"It's worthy of Joichiro's son and your disciple who competed with Yin, and it's two pieces of jade!" Nagi Senzaemon put on the clothes that he didn't know where to pull them out and admired.

"Yes, in fact, the most valuable thing is their passion for cooking." Yang Cao said, as if returning to the days of teaching Gui Yanye.

……

"Teacher, what are we going to study today? Or do you want to learn the identification of ingredients, spices and spices? ”

"No, today I'm going to teach you something special."

"Something special?"

"Yes, by now you should know that there are many kinds of cuisine that are complex, interrelated and relatively independent, but every chef will choose a region to be his core, as you can see, my core is Chinese cuisine. So what's at your core? ”

"My core? Since the teacher's core is Chinese cuisine, then I ...... too."

"No, it's mine, it's someone else's, it's not yours, and it needs to be carefully considered, which will determine your future, how you move forward."

"My ...... Future ......"

"Yes, you are my disciple, not my stand-in, or shadow, your future needs you to think, choose, and decide for yourself."

"Hmmm......"

On that day, Yang Cao did not teach anymore, but gave all the time to Gui Yanye.

The next day, Gui Yanye told Yang Cao his answer.

"Teacher, can flowers be used for cooking?"

"Absolutely."

"Then I want to learn cooking with flowers as my core!"

"Why?"

"Because my mother opened a flower shop, I was familiar with all kinds of flowers since I was a child, and some flowers are beautiful when they bloom, but they will wither quickly, and I can't bear to see them withering in a corner where no one cares.

This is Gui Yanye's answer at that time.

I have to say that Yang Cao was also touched to a certain extent at that time.

After that, Yang Cao's teaching of Gui Yanye was based on the flowers she chose, including which flowers can be used, the taste, fragrance use, and nutritional value of various flowers.

……

"By the way, Xiao Cao, Joichiro's son will be handed over to you, as you said, he still has a lot of problems." Nagi Senzaemon said.

"Then it depends on whether he has the ability to stand out from the stubborn stones, if the brilliance of Puyu is obscured, then he can only blame himself." Yang Cao said.

"Hahaha, indeed, Gui Yanye also has such a crisis, right?" Nagi Senzaemon grinned.

"No, it won't." Yang Cao resolutely retorted.

"Oh? So confident? Nagi Senzaemon looked at Yang Cao with interest.

"Of course, she's my approved disciple! Moreover, she has bloomed with her own brilliance. Yang Cao said confidently.

"Hahaha, good! Let's see! In the era of Puyu, with their joining, what kind of waves will it set off! Nagi Senzaemon laughed heroically.

"Well, we'll see."
