Chapter 278: Strategically Eating and Drinking

When "Teacher Catherine" finally turned her head to face herself, Jiang Ember felt a little relieved.

Although today's "Teacher Catherine" seems to be a little more cold than usual, and the milky smell on her body is much lighter, replaced by a kind of arrogance.

But coincidentally, not long ago, when Teacher Catherine decided to keep her distance from Jiang Yan, she had been using this cold attitude to face this younger brother.

So much so that although Jiang Ember felt that today's "Teacher Catherine" was a little cold, she only felt that she was trying to keep her distance from herself, and it was completely impossible to think in other directions.

....... Isn't it, how can this be thought in other directions?

After all, the refrigerator in front of "Teacher Catherine" had been opened, and the silver bowl full of shaved ice inside was empty.

Coupled with the strong scent of sesame seeds wafting from the surrounding air, I knew with my ass that the lady in front of me must have just eaten the dessert that Jiang Ember had left for herself, spoonful after spoonful.

Jiang Ember was already surprised by the fact that Teacher Catherine came to steal his own desserts, and he was even very happy about it.

Because Teacher Catherine is willing to come over and eat her own desserts, it means that she is more or less willing to be close to herself, instead of trying to keep her distance from herself as before. ap.

Especially at the end of the greasy encounter when she ate crispy large intestines last time, Catherine also deliberately emphasized that Jiang Ember should stop putting her mind on herself, focusing on dispelling Jiang Ye's strange thoughts about herself and so on.

It was precisely because Teacher Catherine's refusal at that time was too categorical that Jiang Yan also felt somewhat lost for a while.

But now it's better....... This kind big sister next door took the initiative to appear in front of her again, although she still looked fake cold, but this was at least a good start.

So he looked at Catherine, who was standing in place and did not leave directly, and took a step forward and smiled:

"It's so good, I thought we'd never have a chance to talk face-to-face like this again."

"An opportunity to talk face-to-face? Didn't I give it to you last time?"

This seat? She's ........ Is this a parody of the Grand Chief's self-proclaimed name? Not to mention, it's quite presentable.

When he heard this self-proclaimed person he had heard at a luncheon, Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows, thinking that this woman was really pretending.

But after all, this "Catherine teacher" is the daughter of that "Catherine", and the two mothers and daughters look exactly the same, and it is normal for the daughter to learn the way her mother speaks.

Moreover, Teacher Catherine had said before that her mother intended for her to inherit the first seat of the Night's Watch.

If you take this into account, it is normal for Teacher Catherine to start adapting and learning early, so Jiang Ember didn't feel anything wrong with her claim.

He even shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone, "Yes, we had a face-to-face conversation last time, but it was too short to make it clear at all."

"Is it short?" Catherine thought for a moment when she heard this, nodded and said, "Also, there were others here last time, and we really didn't have many opportunities to communicate."

........

Obviously, the "last time" in Jiang Yan's mouth and the "last time" in Catherine's mouth are actually not the same thing at all.

The "last time" of Jiang Ember was when the two met at Uncle Taeqiong's house and ate crispy large intestines together.

Catherine's "last time" was when the two met at a luncheon at the Night's Watch headquarters, playing against each other through the mysteries of ingredients.

And the "others" in Catherine's mouth are the high-ranking members of the night watch, and the "others" in Jiang Ye's cognition are the Yumi who dined together at that time....... The difference between heaven and yang can be described as the difference between heaven and yang.

But humans are sometimes such strange creatures, and there are many ambiguities in language and description.

So even if the content of the conversation between the two people is not on the same channel at all, you can still make the conversation smooth through your own brain

The good went on, and no one felt anything wrong.

But one thing is for sure, the current "Teacher Catherine" does not seem to rule out continuing to communicate with Jiang Yan, which also makes him very happy.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at the moment, Jiang Ember invited: "Let's stop standing and talking like this, go sit inside, and I'll get you some tea and your favorite puff pastry dessert."

Dessert? Puff pastry dessert? As soon as she heard this, Catherine suddenly came to her senses.

Yes, this young man actually knows that this seat likes desserts the most, and he has a strong ability to observe words and colors.

Originally, Catherine's favorite food was desserts, especially when she heard that there were desserts made of ginger embers, she couldn't help but say in a slightly excited tone, "Lead the way."

Hearing the slightly excited familiar tone, Jiang Ember pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and then took the lead in walking inside.

Pretend, continue to pretend to me, you Catherine teacher still want to pretend to be that mother, you want to be beautiful, I can see you through at a glance, hum.

In this relaxed and happy atmosphere, Jiang Ember took Catherine into the large living room of the safe house.

After coming to this place again after I don't know how many years, Catherine couldn't help but look around, her expression a little trance-like.

When was the last time you were in this safe house? A thousand years ago? Two thousand years ago?

I can't remember....... Because so much time has passed, Catherine has long lost her memory of many things.

She just felt that the layout and decoration of the place were very familiar and nostalgic to her, after all, this was a safe house that Catherine had made herself with great interest, and it should have taken months to make.

It's just that the momentum and interest of the year have long been washed away by the torrent of time, and all that is left is a body like the walking dead.

Just as she was looking around wistfully, Jiang Yan walked over with a large tray.

"How? It's been a long time since you've been here, have you? Something strange?" Jiang Yan placed the tray on the coffee table between the two of them, and set the table with a large snack box in the middle.

"yes." Catherine couldn't help but sigh, "It's been a long time, long enough to make the rocks weathered and the sky overturned."

Poof, worthy of being a teacher, speaking is an exaggeration.

After hearing this rather poetic and exaggerated description, Jiang Yan smiled a little and didn't pay attention to it.

After all, it's only been a month or two since the last time Teacher Catherine came to this safe roof, why did the stubborn stone weathered and the sky toppled down?

Suddenly, Jiang Ember poured each of them a cup of vanilla tea taught by Ai Lulu herself, and then opened the lid of the snack box.

This vanilla tea is the most classic style of Yege, with a sweet and slightly bitter wheat aroma, and it is perfect with an ancient and traditional dessert heart.

And at the moment when the snack box was opened, the smell of wheat, eggs and creamy sweetness gushing out of it directly hit Catherine's brain, making her feel the urge to hold the box and take a deep breath.

As the snack box opened, Catherine's eyes were greeted by the four-colored dim sum that was carefully placed like a potted plant.

Dim sum, dim sum, all dim sum, and all dim sum made with puff pastry.

This was originally the "four-color shortening box" that Jiang Ember was going to make for An Jie's and them, but since "Teacher Catherine" is here, let's use it to entertain her first.

"Puff pastry" is a method of dim sum, which can be divided into Chinese puff pastry and Western puff pastry.

Chinese puff pastry is more delicious and crisp than Western puff pastry, and it is also more flavorful, and is often used in the preparation of various desserts.

For example, the four pastries prepared by Jiang Ember today, namely "egg yolk crisp", "salt and pepper crisp", "durian crisp" and "lotus crisp".

These four kinds of pastries are all classics in Chinese pastries, and Jiang Yan has also put a lot of effort into the modeling, and it looks even more beautiful like a painting.

Among them, the "egg yolk crisp" has a golden and round surface and is placed in one

The small bird's nest made of silver vermicelli fried, looks like a lot of eggs have just been laid, and it is very cute.

The "salt and pepper crisp" is covered with fragrant white sesame seeds, and is rolled into the shape of a beef tongue, which is spread on the bottom layer of the dim sum box in an unconventional form.

The puff pastry used in "Durian Crisp" is more special, ginger embers add a little wormwood to this puff pastry, so that the oval durian crisp presents an emerald green appearance.

As for the "Lotus Pastry", which is also made of puff pastry, it is a clear layer of puff pastry, with layers of pink puff pastry, and a white coconut paste core that is faintly exposed in the deepest part, which looks even more elegant and chic.

This...... This is....... It's beautiful.

Seeing such a beautiful dessert box, even Catherine, who is accustomed to seeing all kinds of desserts, can't help but be deeply fascinated.

She reached out and picked up a perfectly baked egg yolk pastry from it, carefully put it to her mouth as if she were holding some treasure, and took a bite of it.

The moment she took a bite, Catherine knew she was finished....... It was the first time in her life that she had eaten such a delicious snack that she suddenly became a captive of dessert.

"Egg yolk pastry" itself is a very classic type of Chinese pastry, which pays attention to the wrapping of oil skin and puff pastry, which requires the taste to be layered, as thin as cicada wings, and there should be a full sense of layering when you bite into it.

And when Catherine bit down on this bite, she first felt that her teeth had cut a large number of layers of puff pastry, and the taste was crispy.

Subsequently, under the puff pastry, a soft glutinous rice layer appeared, showing a huge contrast with the puff pastry.

If you bite down a little harder, you will find a soft, sweet, slightly grainy red bean paste and a salty, oily quicksand egg yolk filling.

Crispy and refreshing puff pastry, sweet and soft red bean paste, soft and glutinous glutinous rice cake, crispy and salty plump egg yolk..... With each bite, four different textures and flavors merge with each other, which is simply a top treat for taste buds and texture.

Sweet, fresh, salty, fragrant, although it is a dessert, it contains this complex and harmonious taste, which makes Catherine's tongue feel as if she is experiencing a wonderful storm that is too much to be experienced.

Unconsciously, an egg yolk was crispy, and the great leader of the night watch was so moved that the corners of his mouth were a little moist, and he couldn't help but stretch out his pink little tongue and lick the puff pastry that remained in his mouth.

In the past, Catherine would not have done such a humiliating little gesture in front of others even if she was beaten to death (although she couldn't be killed).

But now she couldn't care so much, and after a little sip of refreshing vanilla tea, the great leader continued to reach out and grab at the other puff pastries, like an old wolf who had been hungry for a long time.

Although the "four-color puff pastry box" made by Jiang Ember uses puff pastry technology, the flavor of each pastry is very different.

"Salt and pepper crisp" will add a large amount of salt and pepper powder to the puff pastry, the unique aroma of Sichuan pepper and the crispy aroma of the flour are fused together, making the salty aroma with some spicy, and the spicy fragrance is full of sweetness, which is very special to eat.

The "Durian Crisp" is filled with a paste of durian with cream, and the strong sweet fragrance of durian quickly envelops the crumbled puff pastry, as if a durian tsunami sounded in the mouth.

The "Lotus Cake" is paired with a relatively new inset of desiccated coconut, and the fried dried minced coconut is mixed with a little concentrated coconut custard, which makes the whole pastry full of rare coconut aroma, which is impressive.

These puff pastries with different flavors and shapes, coupled with the flavored herb tea passed down by Ailulu herself, really make people want to eat more and more, and the more they eat, the more they can't stop.

Although in a way, this is also a very common thing in Chinese pastries, and there is nothing unusual.

But there are no Chinese pastries in this world, in other words, they are all new foods that the local residents have never heard of and never seen.

This new experience of first attempt, coupled with Jiang Ash's production skills far beyond all chefs, is a hopeless dessert lover like Catherine, and even a strong man with no interest in dessert can't help but throw off his arms and feast

Let's go.

"Goodo....... Gollum ....... Goo, hah."

Nearly ten minutes later, as Catherine drank the third cup of tea in one gulp, she finally let go of her sinful hand that kept reaching for the snack box.

Of course, in a way, this is not Catherine's own will.

After all, she has eaten all the pastries in the box, and even if she wants to reach out, she only has some crumbs to take, so forget it, it's not shameful to eat this crumbs.

Looking at "Teacher Catherine" with a happy expression on her face after eating and drinking, Jiang Yan asked with a smile:

"How? Is this to your taste?"

He obviously asked this knowingly, and there was even a hint of ridicule or ridicule in his tone.

It was only then that Catherine realized that she had just seemed to be a little out of shape.

She immediately pretended to pick up a silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth elegantly, and replied in as cold a voice as she could, "....... It's ok."

It's just that although Catherine now wants to show the coldness and holiness of being a high-ranking person as much as possible, no one who has seen her just eaten will probably believe it.
