Xiaoshou's delicious food generation

Standing at Ji Xiuyu's house, Jiang Yifan felt awkward for the first time, mainly because there were three more people he didn't know.

Out of politeness, Jiang Yifan thought he should say hello first, so he introduced himself, "My name is Jiang Yifan, and I belong to Ji Xiuyu..."

"friend!"

The word "disciple" was cut off before he could say it, and Jiang Yifan turned to look at Ji Xiuyu beside him in doubt.

Ji Xiuyu winked at him, then smiled, "He is my friend, and he is taking care of me when I'm sick these days."

Although Jiang Yifan didn't understand why Ji Xiuyu didn't say that he was his apprentice, he was quite happy to say that he was his friend.

But if you think about it carefully, their master-student relationship is not a formal apprenticeship, but their verbal name.

Xie Yuan looked at Jiang Yifan silently, feeling that this is Ji Xiuyu's "cohabitant" person?However, he was a little puzzled in his heart, where did he see it, it was really familiar.

"Thank you for taking care of my brother."

With a sweet appearance, Jianxin, who was wearing a loose doll dress, said to Jiang Yifan with a smile on her face, "My name is Jianxin, and I'm his junior junior sister. By the way, when did you and my senior brother meet? We don't even know who he is." With a friend like you."

Jian Xin spoke more straightforwardly, and Jiang Yifan felt a little depressed when he heard the words.

Yang Qi took Jian Xin's hand and reminded him to pay attention to what he said.He smiled and said to Jiang Yifan, "My name is Yang Qi, and I am Xiaoyu's younger brother."

Jiang Yifan nodded with a smile, "Hello."

Then, the room fell into a strange silence, and everyone turned their eyes to Xie Yuan, who was still thinking silently there.

Suddenly, Xie Yuan pointed to Jiang Yifan, with an expression of sudden understanding, "I know who you are!" He said that he looked familiar, and he had seen it.

"Have you signed up for the cooking class I teach?"

Jiang Yifan was startled by Xie Yuan, "Huh?"

Xie Yuan explained excitedly, "It's Xie Yuan's cooking class! It's named after me! My name is Xie Yuan!"

Having said that, Jiang Yifan remembered.At the beginning, Yao Li complained that the name was too vulgar, but because his house had just opened and the package activities were doing well, they finally chose that one.

"It was you."

"That's right, it's me." Xie Yuan changed to sit next to Jiang Yifan, "I'm Xiuyu's younger brother. We both come from the same master. You didn't see me last time you came to class."

"Then how do you know me?"

"Oh, the registration form!"

"Yes..."

The two started chatting out of nowhere, and Ji Xiuyu looked at them blackly, how did they recognize this "friend"?This is all right?

Seeing that the two chatted more and more speculatively, Ji Xiuyu was inexplicably upset, and he separated the two heads that were put together.

Glancing at Xie Yuan, Ji Xiuyu turned his head to look at Jiang Yifan, and asked seriously, "Do you still want to learn?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yifan was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what Ji Xiuyu was referring to.

"Study, of course!"

The three of Xie Yuan are at a loss, what to learn?

Ji Xiuyu pulled Jiang Yifan up, and said with a smile, "His lover will celebrate his birthday in a few days, and as a gift for taking care of me these few days, I agreed to teach him how to make cakes."

"It's no big deal that I'm sick. You should watch it too. You should go back to wash and sleep before it's too late."

Hearing the words, the other four people in the room looked up at the clock hanging on the wall at the same time. They washed and slept around 07:30. Isn't that too early?

Seeing that the three of them didn't intend to leave, Ji Xiuyu continued to say, "Little Xiezi, don't you need to go back to accompany your siblings?"

Xie Yuan shook his head, "No, she invited a friend to go shopping today."

If this one fails, replace it with another one.

"Xinxin, does the baby need a rest? Ozaki, take her back to rest."

Yang Qi and Jian Xin also shook their heads, and Jian Xin said seriously, "My little baby goes to bed at ten o'clock every day, it's still too early, he can't fall asleep."

Yang Qi also nodded, "That's right. By the way, Xiaoyu, have you eaten? If not, let Xiner cook something for you?"

After the lobbying failed, Ji Xiuyu waved his hands weakly, "No need, I've already eaten it. I'll teach him how to make cakes, you can do what you want."

After finishing speaking, Ji Xiuyu pulled Jiang Yifan to the kitchen without hesitation. In his haste, Jiang Yifan did not forget to bring the thermos.

Ji Xiuyu closed the kitchen door to prevent the curious eyes of the three people outside.

Jiang Yifan followed behind Ji Xiuyu, watched him open the refrigerator, and asked worriedly, "Is it okay?"

Ji Xiuyu took out some seasonal fruits from the refrigerator, "What?"

"Is it okay to ignore them like this?" Jiang Yifan hesitated, "Otherwise, I'll learn it tomorrow."

While washing the fruit, Ji Xiuyu looked up at him, and said angrily, "Do you think the cake can be made successfully in one go? Do you think you still have a lot of time?"

"..."

Jiang Yifan was silent for a while, and asked carefully, "Why are you angry?"

Ji Xiuyu paused his fruit-cutting hand, and retorted, "Where do I have it?"

"You have it." Jiang Yifan murmured in a low voice, "Don't you like me meeting them?"

Ji Xiuyu stopped what he was doing, and looked up at Jiang Yifan, but Jiang Yifan didn't look at him, but just lowered his head, opened the thermos bottle he brought, and poured the soup inside into a bowl.

Jiang Yifan served Ji Xiuyu the soup cooked with red dates, black beans, ginger and scallions, and then silently took over Ji Xiuyu's work of cutting the fruits.

Ji Xiuyu looked at the dark and steaming soup in the bowl, and the inexplicable anger in his heart dissipated with a smile.

Because Ji Xiuyu's illness has been bad, Jiang Yifan called his mother and asked for the "secret recipe". It is said that they drank it when they had a cold, cough and runny nose when they were young.

Jiang Yifan arranged the cut fruits into a fruit platter, then took three small stainless steel fruit forks, and brought them out together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, Xie Yuan and Jian Xin were found standing at the door with awkward smiles.

Jiang Yifan didn't think much about it, and refused their offer to help. He brought the fruit platter to the living room, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry to disturb your party."

The three of Xie Yuan shook their heads and waved their hands together, Yang Qi said, "It's none of your business, we came here uninvited without prior notice."

Jiang Yifan opened his mouth to say something, when in the kitchen, Ji Xiuyu called him, "Jiang Yifan! Hurry up!"

"Well, I'll go in first, you guys eat fruit..." Jiang Yifan walked into the kitchen quickly with an embarrassed smile.

Xie Yuan forked a piece of orange, put it in his mouth and chewed it, then frowned from the sourness, "Tsk, it's really sour! It really tastes like Xiuyu's!"

When Jiang Yifan entered the kitchen, Ji Xiuyu had already finished drinking, so he washed the bowl and the inner liner of the thermos to dry.

There are already some things on the countertop, Jiang Yifan looked at them one by one, there are flour, eggs, salad oil, sugar, electric egg beater, electronic scale, measuring cup, measuring spoon, dough cloth, rubber spatula, Squeegee brushes, flour sieves, egg separators, three piping tips and disposable piping bags, about eight-inch baking trays, and finally six paper cups for baking cakes.

Ji Xiuyu stood opposite Jiang Yifan and asked, "Have you read the book I gave you?"

Jiang Yifan nodded. A few days ago, Ji Xiuyu gave him basic books on cakes and desserts, and asked him to read them when he was free.Learn about the tools you need, how to use them, and look at the recipes to learn about the process.

"Then tell me about the usage of these tools."

"Uh..." Jiang Yifan looked at it and began to explain one by one.

"This is an electric egg beater, which is used to beat egg whites, and can also be used to stir batter, cream or fillings."

"This electronic scale, measuring cup and measuring spoon are all used for accurate weighing."

"This is a dough cloth, you can use it to roll the dough, and it can also prevent the dough from sticking to the table."

Jiang Yifan looked up at Ji Xiuyu's expression, and then said, "This is a scraper, which is used to stir batter or fillings; this brush is used to spread egg liquid or syrup, and cooking oil; this is Sieve, this is used to sift the flour before making the cake; this is used to separate the egg whites from the yolks; these are used for frosting decorations; finally, this baking pan and paper cups are used to hold the batter for the cake .”

Ji Xiuyu smiled and nodded, "That's right."

"No matter what type of cake, especially cream cake, the cake base is the key. The taste of the cake base will affect the taste of the whole cake. Today we will make cupcakes first, so you can familiarize yourself with the process."

Ji Xiuyu handed Jiang Yifan two empty and dry stainless steel basins, "When making cakes, the eggbeater must be water-free and oil-free, so as not to affect the beating of egg whites."

Jiang Yifan nodded, indicating that he knew.

"Crack three eggs, and put the yolks and whites in the two basins."

Jiang Yifan reached out to get the egg, but the coldness of the tentacles made him shiver. He knew that the egg had not been taken out of the refrigerator for a long time, and there were small drops of water oozing from the surface of the egg.

Ji Xiuyu gave him a piece of clean cotton cloth and asked him to wipe off the moisture on the surface of the eggs, and at the same time said, "When whipping egg whites, it is best to use refrigerated fresh eggs, which can make it easier to separate the egg whites from the yolks. In addition, because the lower the temperature of the protein, the more fine and firm bubbles can be produced, and the stability and durability after whipping are also better.”

"Do you know how to identify fresh eggs?"

"I know this," Jiang Yifan carefully put the wiped eggs away, "Put the eggs in salt water. If the eggs sink, it means they are fresh. If they float, it means the eggs are broken."

Ji Xiuyu nodded, "That's right, the faster it sinks, the fresher the eggs. Let's start cracking the eggs."

Jiang Yifan held the egg separator in his left hand and an egg in his right hand.Hold the egg in your hand, gently knock the middle part on the edge of the basin to make a gap, then move the egg to the top of the separator, twist the thumb and forefinger guards in opposite directions, and the egg will easily fall into the separator .

The egg yolk was blocked, and the egg white flowed into the basin. After the egg white had almost flowed, Jiang Yifan quickly put the egg yolk into another basin.

After breaking all three eggs, Jiang Yifan looked up at Ji Xiuyu.

"Add 20g of sugar to the egg yolk, then beat until the sugar dissolves, then add some salad oil and stir."

Jiang Yifan used an electronic scale, weighed 20g of white sugar, added it to the bowl with egg yolks, and then beat it with an egg beater.

Ji Xiuyu explained, "After the egg yolk is stirred, the oil, water and air mixed in can be formed into a milky thick shape, which is used to increase its emulsification effect."

After whisking for a while, the egg yolk had become thick as Ji Xiuyu said, so Jiang Yifan added salad oil into it, and then stirred it evenly.

"Go to the refrigerator to get a bottle of milk, add it to the mayonnaise, stir well, then sift in the low-gluten flour over there, and then stir it with a scraper until there are no particles."

He took out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and opened it. When Jiang Yifan was about to pour it down, he forgot that he didn't ask how much he wanted to add.

He looked up at Ji Xiuyu, "How much do you want?"

Ji Xiuyu smiled, "You make an appointment yourself, just don't put too much."

Jiang Yifan was speechless, took the liquid measuring cup, pondered for a while, and added 80ml of milk.

Seeing that Ji Xiuyu had no objection, Jiang Yifan then stirred the flour evenly and began to sift the flour.

Sifting flour is also a meticulous job. Jiang Yifan lowered his head and shook the sieve slightly with a serious expression. The fine white powder passed through the mesh and fell on the beaten mayonnaise.

In the kitchen, one is teaching earnestly and the other is studying earnestly.

Outside the kitchen, Xie Yuan, who had been eavesdropping for a while, felt bored and sat back in the living room.

Inserting a piece of apple, Xie Yuan said, "I'm really learning how to make cakes."

Yang Qi smiled, "Otherwise you think they will be doing something."

Xie Yuan shrugged, saying that he didn't know either.

"However, don't you think they have a good relationship? Xiuyu actually let others into his kitchen. He used to drive us out when he was cooking, and the kitchen of this house didn't even let us in. But...their relationship is so good that I'm almost jealous, oh..."

Hearing Xie Yuan's complaint, Yang Qi glanced in the direction of the kitchen, forked a piece of mango and didn't eat it, but stared at the mango blankly...
