Before turning around, he said in pieces: "Kitten, this may not be as delicious as you think." ”

The last day of recording was in the afternoon, and everyone came.

Lang Yangyang and the other contestants were checking their tools, and the audience was full of people, half of them were relatives and friends of the contestants, and half of them were spectators who had drawn lots to participate.

"Brother Zhuang, what do you think of the desserts made by Brother Yangyang?" Yoyo suddenly accosted Zhuang Shuo.

Zhuang Shuo: "It's delicious, and the shape is very good-looking, he is very imaginative, don't you think?" ”

Yoyo nodded wildly: "I think I think!" And the aesthetics are super good, for example, the decoration in our store is retro, a lot of solid wood, Brother Yang will not put colorful decorations in the store, and we only buy bellflower and white roses and the like. Milk coffee and black coffee use different textures of cups, such as citrus American, and he will design a separate label with the same elements on it. ”

After Yoyo finished speaking, he added: "The cake he makes is also delicious, why does it have to be a famous teacher and a famous store to say that he is delicious?" ”

Zhuang Shuo hummed and thought silently for a while.

In these aspects, Zhuang Shuo is a rough man, but Yoyo is really saying this.

He would remind himself to wear khaki pants with white socks, he would tell himself to pay attention to different fonts in different places when writing copy, and he would say that when giving gifts to elders, he should consider the aesthetics of elders.

Careful, sensitive, and focused, these traits are particularly obvious in Lang Yangyang.

In Zhuang Shuo's eyes, let alone making cakes, he can make it no matter what he does.

Zhuang Shuo raised his head and looked at Lang Yangyang on the playing field.

My dearest Yangyang, why aren't you confident?

The off-stage competition is ready to start, although it is recorded, but this old show is quite famous in the local area, and the competition is also very transparent and open, and there are many loyal viewers.

The essence is to recommend local high-quality stores to the audience, so that everyone can enjoy the food and promote the food.

Lang Yangyang put his hands behind his back, and the host was talking about today's game process.

Soon, today's theme began to be announced, and just like Lang Yangyang's previous homework, the last competition was to make desserts with seasonal ingredients.

It's just that Lang Yangyang really didn't expect it.

"What's the ingredient today? Let's take a look! The host's sister reached out to open the covered plate, and as soon as the lid was opened, the audience let out a soft cry.

"Lotus Peng!"

It is estimated that no one guessed that it is a lotus pod, and everyone will think about the dessert theme to the fruit, although the lotus pod can also be eaten as a fruit, but it is rarely seen in desserts.

Lang Yangyang pursed his lips unconsciously, and his head was already thinking quickly about what lotus seeds and what could be combined to make desserts.

The other three players also had a lot of headaches.

Even Li Yuejing frowned slightly, lotus seeds are very Chinese-style ingredients, and they don't match the Western-style desserts he is good at.

"Okay, now please get ready to choose the ingredients, three for each person. Please note that there are only 30 minutes of time in today's game. After the host finished speaking, he pressed the red start button to prepare.

Lang Yangyang looked up at the audience, seven or eight relatives and friends were waving their fists, especially Zhuang Shuo and Youyou, knowing that they were cheering and cheering, and those who didn't know thought it was the scene of a brawl outside the school.

Lang Yangyang waved his hand lightly.

"Ready! Begin!! ”

Tense and exciting music immediately sounded in the studio, and Lang Yangyang and the other contestants rushed to the food area in the back.

This ingredient refers to the basic ingredients that need to be used in addition to the basic ingredients, such as flour, yeast, eggs, milk, and fruits, nuts, etc.

Take three for each person.

Lang Yangyang took a can of pistachios, a can of matcha powder, and finally another condensed milk.

Li Yuejing, who was selecting ingredients next to him, saw him take the condensed milk and looked at Lang Yangyang curiously, Lang Yangyang smiled and nodded.

Yes, Lang Yangyang decided to make ice cream.

When he was working at Evene a year ago, Lang Yangyang learned a little from the pastry chef: if you find the ingredients in your hands troublesome, you might as well try ice cream.

Ice cream is simple to make, and the ingredients are also inclusive, lotus seeds have a light sweetness and astringency, and fresh lotus seeds are also crunchy, which can be paired with ripe pistachio crumbles, and there must be different flavors.

When you get back to the cooking station, look at your ingredients and get a rough idea of what style you're making.

Li Yuejing is a technical stream, and the materials he takes are very basic, he wants to make a cake in the shape of a lotus pod, and he is already melting white chocolate.

The other makes Chinese desserts, probably lotus seed soup, and the other makes Basque cakes, which have become more popular recently, and makes lotus seeds into a sauce and serves as a filling.

Lang Yangyang picked two relatively more tender lotus pods, and prepared roasted pistachios after preparing buffalo milk, condensed milk and other ingredients.

The pistachios in the program group are canned, which is a very good brand, Lang Yangyang twisted it twice, but he still couldn't twist it.

After twisting it hard several times, it still didn't turn on, and the tense music in the studio made Lang Yangyang also impatient, wanting to get a knife to pry the lid.

"Be careful." The host walked up to Lang Yangyang, and she kept leading the camera to walk between the four contestants, explaining the progress of each contestant.

Seeing that Lang Yangyang was about to pry the lid with a knife, he couldn't help but remind.

Lang Yangyang smiled at the camera, then gritted his teeth and pried it hard, but it still didn't open.

At this time, the time reminded that five minutes had passed, and Lang Yangyang was really nervous.

Ice cream still needs time to freeze, and if it goes on like this, there is not enough time, so I subconsciously look up at the audience.

At a glance, I found that Zhuang Shuoyouyou and the second aunt in the audience stood up anxiously.

Zhuang Shuo was holding a mobile phone in his hand, and he was still taking a photo of Lang Yangyang just now, and now he was so anxious that he stretched out his hand to the stage slightly.

"I ......" Lang Yangyang turned his head to look at the host.

The host has never encountered this kind of thing, but he is also an old host of the TV station, and he is sure that this is a mistake by the program team in preparing ingredients, and letting people help will not cause loss of interests to other contestants.

Seeing Zhuang Shuo standing by the fence in a hurry, she immediately decided: "You can ask relatives and friends for help, go quickly!" ”

Lang Yangyang threw a grateful look at her, and ran to the audience with the can of pistachios.

This studio is not big, and it is only seven or eight steps away, because of the tight time, Lang Yangyang and Zhuang Shuo didn't even say a word.

Zhuang Shuo handed the phone back, caught it tacitly, and silently bit the back molars when he got the pistachio jar, and twisted it hard!

The jar was opened and handed to Lang Yangyang: "Go quickly." ”

Not to mention cans, even if Lang Yangyang asks him to dismantle the tank now, he can dismantle it.

Lang Yangyang ran back with the jar, immediately calculated the gram weight according to the proportion, weighed it, checked that there were no bad fruits, and then put it in the food processor to beat the jam.

The ripe pistachio jam is pale green, which goes well with the city of Changxi in late spring and early summer, and also goes well with the lotus pod of the first crop.

The process of making hand-made ice cream is constantly sifting, mixing, and stirring, and Lang Yangyang replaces white sugar with condensed milk, and the amount is very small, so that the sweetness of ice cream cannot overshadow the sweetness of lotus seeds, because today lotus seeds are the protagonists.

After stirring, it was sent to the freezer, and Lang Yangyang began to process the pistachios used as crushed fruits, and in order to highlight the crispness of the pistachios, they were sent to the oven and re-roasted.

Manually grind into particles of different sizes and set aside.

The operation of the oven made the temperature rise in the cooking table of the studio, Lang Yangyang sweated on the corner of his forehead, raised his hand and wiped it with his shoulder.

He peeled out the lotus seeds and picked out the hearts of the lotus seeds for later use.

Finally, there is the plating, which is a competition after all, and the plating is also very important. Lang Yangyang used matcha powder and cream to bring out the green color of the lotus leaves, drew a few strokes on the white porcelain plate to create a faint shape of the lotus leaves, and added three or four strokes of white, like a white lotus hidden in the lotus leaves.

"It's the last five minutes." The host stood in front of Li Yuejing's cooking table, looked at the time and said, "Everyone has entered the finishing work, and you can see that Mr. Li is ...... here."

Lang Yangyang also took a look, everyone was still in a hurry, and Lang Yangyang painted the decoration and put a palm-sized glass disc without any carved decoration in the middle of the white disk.

All that's left is to wait.

The host walked up to Lang Yangyang, "Huh? Is this done? ”

Lang Yangyang shook his head, "There is still one last step left." ”

Host: "Is the ice cream not good yet?" ”

Lang Yangyang shook his head again: "It should be all right." ”

"So fast?"

Lang Yangyang has long thought about the problem of freezing time, "In order to make the ice cream form quickly, I used a large box, only a shallow layer, and increased the freezing area, which can greatly shorten the freezing time." ”

"Wow." The host took the microphone and clapped his hands gently, "It's true that as the previous judges said, Yangyang is a person who thinks differently and is good at thinking, so are there any other steps?" ”

Lang Yangyang said yes.

The moderator asked what it was.

Lang Yangyang smiled at the camera: "Everyone will know for a while." ”

The host continued to interview other contestants, and there were still three minutes left, Lang Yangyang went to confirm the state of the ice cream and came back, chopped the prepared lotus seeds, and tasted a little to confirm that they were fresh and sweet.

At the last minute, in the midst of the chatter of the audience and the sound of the host's oral advertisement, the ice cream was brought out.

Quickly scrape the ice cream into a small bowl and stir quickly in the prepared chopped pistachios and lotus seeds.

In the last ten seconds countdown, Lang Yangyang used a ball digging device to form a ball and put it on the plate, and finally put two and a half lotus seeds.

Rang the bell on the counter.

Lang Yangyang was satisfied with his work, but he didn't expect that he would be the highest score in this round.

The nutty ice cream is filled with crushed lotus seeds, and the slight astringency of the lotus seeds is masked, leaving only a mouthful of sweetness left between chewing.

The only one on the scene is 9 points.

The judges gave a high evaluation to the creativity and commercial value of this dessert.

Lang Yangyang mixes the ice cream and chopped fruit at the last minute, which largely preserves the freshness and shape of the dessert.

The porcelain plate decoration is also beautiful.

In this round, Li Yuejing was not complete because of time constraints, and only used lotus seeds as external fruit decorations, with a score of eight points, and the other two were still seven points.

Lang Yangyang scored a total of 25 points, ranking second.

This is already a result that Lang Yangyang is very satisfied with.

When the judges were announcing their summary, Lang Yangyang looked at the remaining ice cream in front of him, quietly took a spoon, and tasted it.

Seven or eight minutes have passed, and the ice cream is a little soft, but the taste is still good.

It's beautiful, it's delicious.

For the first time, Lang Yangyang affirmed his work so much in his heart.

Perhaps, maybe Brookside's business is good, not all because of the environment and coffee, but because there are many people who like the desserts made by Lang Yangyang.

The corners of Lang Yangyang's mouth went up and he looked up at the audience.
