Hardcore Chef Dad

With one week left before the New Year's Day performance, the three little girls Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei no longer go to kindergarten and need to go to Teacher Guo for dance practice every day.

It can be seen that Guo Hong attaches great importance to the performance of the little girls and is very concerned about teaching them.

More importantly, Guo Hong really put a lot of effort into this performance.

As for the three little girls, they are accompanied by their grandparents every day. Su Ruoxi sometimes goes to accompany the children.

Of course Yang Zhiyi would take time to accompany him, but when he needed to rush a manuscript, he could only get rid of his parents and help take care of him.

Feng Yifan wanted the children to practice dance hard and gain some happiness at the same time.

He would discuss with Chen Xu and Luo Yu every day to make different snacks for the children.

It can be said that when Feng Yifan, Chen Xu and Luo Yu cooperate, the snacks the children see every day will be different, and there are really many varieties.

For example, today, Feng Ruoruo said to her father before going out: Dad, when we were talking about snacks in the dance class yesterday, Fangfang and the others were talking about egg tarts. They were saying that they had to go to Grandpa Whitebeard's place to eat. Dad, can you give me some? Shall we do it?”

Feng Yifan naturally agreed to his daughter's request immediately.

Okay, I'll make egg tarts for you today.

Feng Ruoruo said with a smile: That's great. Then dad, you have to make many flavors for us. I want that osmanthus flavor.

Feng Yifan was a little surprised: Why does it have osmanthus flavor?

Feng Ruoruo said: Because I didn't eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake yesterday. Also, Ruoruo likes sweet-scented osmanthus, it's so fragrant.

Feng Yifan heard this and said, Okay, then let's make an osmanthus-flavored egg tart for Ruoruo.

Since he had promised his daughter, after Feng Yifan arrived at Su Ji, he naturally had to discuss with Chen Xu and Luo Yu what to do?

Chen Xu and Luo Yu didn't have much opinion on this.

But the two people soon thought of a problem.

Chen Xu said: Chef, did we not prepare the egg tart crust? Why don't you buy some egg tart crust now?

Feng Yifan shook his head and said, No need.

We have plenty of time, so we can just do it ourselves.

Chen Xu and Luo Yu were stunned for a moment, then they both smiled and nodded.

When Shi Jiahui heard this, she was a little curious and asked: Chef, are you a little too frugal? Do you have to make the egg tart crust yourself?

Feng Yifan said with a smile: Of course I have to make it myself. The egg tart crust I make can be slightly larger, so that I can add more things inside.

Chen Xu also said: Yes, the egg tart crust I bought is too small.

Luo Yu agreed: Yes, we want to make it bigger and better than Grandpa Whitebeard's.

After hearing this, Shi Jiahui couldn't help but smile and said: So, are you going to challenge me today, my signature egg tart?

Feng Yifan said: Yes, we are going to challenge today.

Speaking of which, making egg tart crust is not difficult.

Just like the Chinese puff pastry made by Chen Xu, the egg tart shell also needs to go through the process of puffing.

The difference is that Chinese dim sum is made with lard.

The tart shell is made of butter.

First, grate the butter into thin strands with a clean grater, then add the sifted low-gluten flour, add a certain proportion of sugar and salt, and finally pour in ice water to knead the dough.

The same thing is to knead the noodles in three ways: surface light, basin light, and hand light. Then take it out, wrap it in plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator to chill for 40 minutes.

After the refrigeration time has expired, take out the dough and roll it into dough.

Cut the butter into thin slices and spread a layer in the middle of the flat dough.

Here it is similar to the Chinese dim sum method, which is to put the pastry in the middle and then open it.

The tart shell uses butter instead of pastry, and spreads unsalted butter in the middle.

Fold the sides over to cover the butter in the middle.

Then use a rolling pin to flatten the dough again.

First, press the openings on both sides, then roll out the dough flat, trim off the excess parts on both sides, fold the remaining parts again, seal with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Take it out after 30 minutes, still use the rolling pin to press it first, and then roll it flat.

You still need to cut off the excess parts on both sides.

Then fold the rest and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

In this case, a third time is required, that is, three puffings.

The third time, you need to put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

During this process, Feng Yifan and the others also took the time to make some other preparations.

For example, because his daughter wanted the scent of osmanthus, Feng Yifan also took out the osmanthus paste and beat it with cream to make an osmanthus-scented cream.

We also clean some fruits, puree them all, and cook them with sugar to turn into a fruity syrup.

These things are also placed in the refrigerator for a little chilling.

Finally, when enough time has passed, take out the three-time crispy skin.

The next step is to use a grinding tool to cut out the skin.

Put the cut skins into individual egg tart shell molds, put something heavy in oil paper to press the egg tart shells in the mold, and put them in the oven to bake the skins first.

After baking, put various fillings into the egg tart shell, and then bake it slightly.

The reason why the egg tart crust needs to be baked first is that the filling prepared by Feng Yifan and others cannot be baked at high temperature for a long time, so the crust must be baked first, and then the filling can be added and baked slightly.

Otherwise, the filling may be overcooked or even burnt.

Otherwise, the egg tart crust cannot be cooked and layered.

Use a piping bag to put the same filling into the tart shell, seal it with cream, and brush the surface with a layer of egg wash.

The surface of the egg tart baked in this way is browned, and it looks very tempting.

When it is baked, the kitchen is instantly filled with the aroma of egg tarts.

Shi Jiahui smelled it and exclaimed: Oh, it smells so good.

Everyone in the kitchen couldn't help but come over to take a look. They all swallowed their saliva and really wanted to taste the egg tarts made by Feng Yifan, Chen Xu and Luo Yu.

Judging from the appearance alone, the egg tarts made by Feng Yifan and others are relatively large, almost as big as the two made by Grandpa White Beard.

The overall look of the egg tarts is really very tempting, not inferior to Grandpa Whitebeard’s at all.

Shi Jiahui smelled the smell for a long time and couldn't help but ask: Chef, can we try it?

Feng Yifan looked at the senior sister and then at the others who were all salivating.

After discussing with Chen Xu and Luo Yu, they took out a few so that everyone could taste them.

An egg tart is cut into four parts so that everyone can have a taste.

Including the waiters at Su Ji and Ruo restaurants, they could all taste a quarter piece.

Although it was only a quarter, the egg tarts made by Feng Yifan and the others were large, so they could still taste the taste.

Shi Jiahui pinched a quarter and was still a little dissatisfied.

Chef, you only gave me a quarter. Are you being stingy?

Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: Sister, this is for Ruoruo. If everyone has one, wouldn't Ruoruo and the others not be able to eat it?

When Shi Jiahui heard this, he immediately said: Well, let's take a quarter. We can't compete with Ruoruo and the others. They have been practicing dance very hard recently and they really need to eat more delicious food.

At this time, someone in the restaurant had already eaten the food, and the waiter couldn't help but exclaimed: Wow, it's so delicious.

Su Liancheng smiled and said, Of course it's delicious. You have to understand that the host and our two pastry chefs made this together. Can it not be delicious?

Then a waiter couldn't help but ask: Chef, can we sell this egg tart in our restaurant? If we sell this, the business will definitely be very booming.

Feng Yifan smiled and said: Selling egg tarts? That's probably not possible because we are too busy.

Shi Jiahui said: We are busy enough now. If we sell more egg tarts, won't the door of Su Ji and Ruo's restaurant be squeezed open? By then, do you want to directly exhaust our kitchen? Death, huh?”

Shi Jiahui's words made the waiter who suggested selling egg tarts shut up quickly.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Feng Yifan said: It's impossible to sell these snacks. One of them is to match the dishes, and the other is that if you have time, you can make some for everyone to eat. Selling this is definitely not possible, because it is indeed a labor force. It’s limited, so we can’t do all kinds of business.”

Su Liancheng said: Yes, our Su Ji He Ruo restaurant must have its own style and cannot sell everything.

In fact, the waiters still felt a little bit regretful after receiving such an answer.

Because if Su Ji or Ruo restaurant sells it, they actually have more chances to eat it. After all, they can spend money to buy food.

But if it’s not sold, I’m afraid the next time I can taste it, I don’t know when it will be.

Thinking of this, everyone cherishes the quarter egg tarts in their hands.

Everyone was very satisfied and happy with their food.

Not only are the egg tarts more diversified in taste, but the key point is that the egg tarts made by Feng Yifan and the others really taste as good as those sold by Grandpa White Beard.

Let everyone have a taste, and Feng Yifan also specially sent one to his wife to try.

Su Ruoxi tasted it and nodded with a smile: It's really delicious.

Feng Yifan said: Of course, this is made by our three pastry chefs. Don't underestimate the strength of Chen Xu and Luo Yu.

Su Ruoxi smiled and said, Then what you do is mainly due to the two of them, right?

Feng Yifan said: My chef has to check it.

Su Ruoxi smiled even more happily after hearing this: Yes, you are the chef, and it is very important to check the requirements, but you, Ruoruo, will definitely like it, because it has the scent of osmanthus in it.

Speaking of this, Su Ruoxi was still a little strange: Why does Ruoruo like the scent of osmanthus so much now?

Before Feng Yifan could answer, his wife continued, I know, it's your osmanthus sauce that's causing the trouble. Ruoruo has been eating porridge and eating bread with osmanthus sauce recently.

Feng Yifan comforted him: Osmanthus jam was originally made for Ruoruo and the others.

The wife added: That's why Ruoruo is obsessed with the scent of osmanthus.

Feng Yifan said: It doesn't matter. Let's control the quantity a little. After all, there are only a few bottles. If she finishes eating, there won't be anything left.

When his parents were talking about osmanthus sauce, Feng Ruoruo was resting in the dance studio and told the children that his father had promised to make osmanthus-flavored egg tarts today.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaoxi asked: Ruoruo, haven't you finished eating the osmanthus sauce at home?

Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, No, there are others.

Yang Xiaoxi said: I have finished one bottle at home.

Chen Yaofei also said: I also ate one bottle.

Feng Ruoruo said: Hehehe, I actually also ate one bottle, but didn't dad give each of us three bottles? We ate one bottle, and there are still two bottles left.

Yang Xiaoxi asked: Father Feng is making egg tarts today. Should I use Ruoruo's osmanthus sauce?

When Feng Ruoruo heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Yeah, if dad wants to use my osmanthus sauce, then my osmanthus sauce will be less than yours, Xixi and Feifei's. No, you can't let dad use my osmanthus sauce.

Chen Yaofei said: It doesn't matter. If your osmanthus sauce is used up, I can give you a bottle of mine.

After hearing this, Feng Ruoruo looked at Chen Yaofei and said, Feifei, you are so kind.

Yang Xiaoxi quickly said: I can also give it to Ruoruo.

Feng Ruoruo suddenly became happy: Hehehe, Xixi and Feifei, you are so kind. You are my best and best friends.

Yang Xiaoxi asked: Ruoruo, can we ask Father Feng to do it for us again?

Chen Yaofei said: No, it's winter now and there are no osmanthus flowers anymore.

Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, We can ask dad if he has any hidden osmanthus, so that he can make it for us.

Yang Xiaoxi asked strangely: Will Father Feng hide the sweet-scented osmanthus?

Feng Ruoruo smiled and whispered: Yes, dad sometimes hides some good things, and then takes them out for me to eat after I finish eating.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxi said, Yes, yes, my parents will be like this too.

Chen Yaofei said: Well, my grandparents and parents can do it.

The three little girls then began to discuss how to get the sweet-scented osmanthus hidden by Father Feng.

On the other side, Feng Yifan took care of the things in the kitchen, and before the business started, he and his wife took the prepared egg tarts and left, rushing to deliver them to their daughters.

But what he didn't expect was that his daughters had already begun to discuss that the sweet-scented osmanthus that he had hidden would come out.

Fortunately, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei didn't have to discuss it for too long in the dance studio.

As Teacher Guo clapped his hands, the six little girls quickly walked over and lined up.

In the following time, the little girls continued to practice the dance choreographed by Teacher Guo under the leadership of Teacher Guo.

When Feng Yifan and his wife came outside the dance studio carrying egg tarts, the door inside was locked to avoid being disturbed. Hearing the music inside, Feng Yifan could only help his wife sit down in the corridor outside.

Okay, let's sit down for a while and wait for the practice inside to end.

After sitting down, Feng Yifan did not forget to hug his wife to prevent her from getting cold, and let her warm her hands while holding the still warm egg tart.

It wasn't until the music inside stopped and after waiting for a while that the door of the dance studio was opened.

Seeing Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi entering the door, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei immediately rushed to their sides.
