Pine Cone Pudding

The author has something to say: the original article could not continue normally due to various reasons, but starting from this article, I will fan away all those who block me

On the ancient street, the crystal shop of the dessert shop has not yet opened, but the scent of cocoa pine nuts is already in the air.

The dessert shop is not big, but it is extraordinarily exquisite, so it has always attracted many girls.For this reason, the owner Wu Yao always makes desserts early.

He is still very young, but there is a gentle temperament in his bones, and even the desserts he makes have a mellow taste that others don't have.

"Dang..." The big decorative clock rang lightly, Wu Yao looked up and checked the time on the clock.

9 o'clock exactly.

Wu Yao quickly pulled out the glove, rushed out of the production room in three steps at a time, and went straight to the main hall.

There are three floor-to-ceiling windows in the main hall, the one in the middle, you can see the flower shop opposite the shop.

Wu Yao carefully opened the curtains and looked out the window.

What he looked at was not the flower shop, but the man in the flower shop.

The flower shop opposite opened the door, and a tall man walked out from inside.

It took Wu Yao some time to realize that this man's name was Zeng Ke.

It's a pity that Zeng Ke doesn't communicate with people often, so almost no one knows his contact information.

Wu Yao also learned about the timing of Zeng Ke's opening of the store after a long period of exploration.He hid behind the light blue curtains, his clean eyes kept looking at Zeng Ke who was moving flowers not far away, and there was firmness in his eyes.

Wu Yao closed the curtains, took a delicately packaged rose cake from the counter, and walked to the main entrance.

He pursed his lips and pushed open the door.With a gentle smile: "Zeng Ke, good morning."

Zeng Ke, who was holding a pot of yellow roses, nodded politely to him across the street.

Seeing him put down the flowers in his hand, Wu Yao said, "I happen to have a piece of rose cake in my hand, and I give it to you."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Zeng Ke's refusal, he stuffed it into his pocket.

Why not put it in your hand?God, Wu Yao might be charged on the spot.

Zeng Ke: "You don't have to..."

Wu Yao waved his hand: "I told you everything, I'm going back."

Wu Yao turned around, pretending to be calm, but his legs softened the moment he closed his shop door and drew the curtain.

He took it!Charged again!

Wu Yao covered his flushed face and stomped his feet.He wants to sing happily.

But he rushed to the floor-to-ceiling windows again, spying on Zeng Ke's actions.

Zeng Ke didn't know what was wrong. He took out the rose cake from his pocket, looked at it, then looked at the dessert shop, and finally entered the flower shop.

Wu Yao took a deep breath, turned around and leaned against the curtain, full of indescribable joy.

Since he opened the shop, he has been delivering desserts to Zeng Ke, which is called tasting, but only Wu Yao knows that these desserts are made by Wu Yao most carefully every day.

Wu Yao thought, he would definitely eat it.Wu Yao is very happy when he thinks that the person he likes will eat what he made.

So what dessert should we make tomorrow?The meaning of Wu Yao's daily life seems to be to give Zeng Ke his own dessert.

Zeng Ke walked into the flower shop, and the room was full of flowers.A bamboo chair was arranged among the flowers, and sitting on it was Zeng Ke's good friend Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan fiddled with the pansy in his hand, and was reprimanded by Zeng Ke.

Jiang Nan: "Zeng Ke, you let me sleep here last night? Why did you treat my buddy like this!"

Jiang Nan was indignant.

He came to Zeng Ke for a drink in the middle of the night last night, but after being drunk by Zeng Ke, he woke up in the morning and found himself sleeping on the floor.

Jiang Nan is still sore all over.He glared at Zeng Ke, but found the dessert in Zeng Ke's hand.

Jiangnan: "Zeng Ke? Are you going to buy desserts early in the morning?"

Zeng Ke shook his head: "The boss opposite gives me every day."

Jiang Nan: "No way... Doesn't that mean I like you? What's the name of the boss?"

Jiang Nan felt that he knew the truth of the matter, and booed.

Zeng Ke glanced at the dessert in his hand, and threw it into the trash can casually.

"I don't know his name, and I don't need to."

Jiang Nan was speechless: "If you don't like desserts, you don't need to waste food like this."

Zen Ke took the scissors and trimmed some mimosa trees, casually: "I don't like desserts, and I don't like the boss who makes desserts."

"Go back in a while and help me throw out the trash in the trash can."

Jiang Nan: "Oh."

In the afternoon, the sun was very strong, and Zeng Ke quickly moved all the plants that did not like the sun into the flower shop.

"The sun is too big..." A aunt who seemed to be in good spirits walked by against the scorching sun.

When passing by the flower shop, the aunt was obviously attracted by the gorgeous pots of flowers in front of the flower shop, and she was amazed.

Seeing Zeng Ke busy, the aunt said, "Young man, do you want me to help you?" Zeng Ke shook his head: "No."

The aunt was a little embarrassed: "Young man, I am in good health. I do square dancing every day."

Zeng Ke put down the phalaenopsis in his hand and said calmly, "Auntie, do you want to buy flowers?"

Aunt: "You child, why don't you help me..."

But aunt is afraid of the sun after all.After all, I bought a few lilies and left.Tired of moving, Zeng Ke leaned against the small window on one side, watching the scorching sun shining on the brightly colored flowers.

"The ones who don't like heat are finished moving in, so let's move in the ones who like warmth."

There is no wind and it is a bit stuffy, the air is full of flowers, and there are almost no people walking around in the ancient street.

On the contrary, a few girls were looking for the fragrance of flowers, while chattering into the flower shop.

Zeng Ke also welcomed: "Look at what you need?" The girls peeked at Zeng Ke's face and said, "Look, let's take a look first..."

Zeng Ke: "Anything you want." After finishing speaking, he leaned against the window to organize the flower seeds.

The girls bit each other's ears, and none of them dared to speak up.

There is no one in Wu Yao's shop.

Wu Yao sighed: "In hot weather, eating butter cake will be boring, but without the main cake, there will be fewer customers."

He was a little bored: "Then what can I do?"

After thinking about it, he took out a set of glasses for mixing wine at the counter, took out a few bottles of wine from the wine cabinet, and mixed the wine comfortably.

In fact, he doesn't know much about it.

It's just that a wine introduced by his bartender friend suddenly came to his mind.

"Long Island Iced Tea is a strong drink. The base is vodka, rum, gin, tequila..."

"It looks like soft black tea, but in fact, it is a spirit that cannot be underestimated."

He is very much like Zeng Ke.

Holding the wine glass, Wu Yao opened the curtains.

Sure enough, Zeng Ke was leaning against the window.

"Zeng Ke..."

Wu Yao freed up one hand, and traced Zeng Ke's figure across the two glass windows.

When Wu Yao reacted, he laughed in his heart that he was just like a child.

The wine glass swayed slightly, and the wall of the glass was reflected by the sunlight, shining directly on Zeng Ke's face.

The girls in the flower shop laughed: "Manager, there is a beam of light shining on your face from outside!"

Wu Yao: "Oops...it's my wine glass..."

But Zeng Ke had already faced the light and found Wu Yao who was peeping from behind. "who!"

The two looked at each other, Zeng Ke's face was cold, he walked aside, and slammed the curtains shut to block Wu Yao's sight. Zeng Ke snorted coldly with disdain on his face.

In his eyes, Wu Yao is simply a weirdo.

A young girl boldly asked: "The store manager, did someone deliberately reflect the light onto your face?"

"That's right, the store is in the shade, how can there be sunlight."

Zeng Ke: "I don't know, you must be a boring person." His tone was calm and casual.

And Wu Yao at the other end put down the curtain weakly, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a slap. "Oh my god... have I been discovered?" He was ashamed and scared, his face was constantly changing from red to white.

Wu Yao was terrified, he was afraid that Zeng Ke would think he was a voyeur.

He comforted himself: "No, no, maybe he's just blocking the sun?"

He was walking around in the shop, when the door was pushed open abruptly, Wu Yao was startled, thinking that it was Zeng Ke who had come.

Subconsciously said: "Isn't it..."

But only guests come.

The customer was probably acquainted. Seeing Wu Yao's surprised face, he asked, "The store manager? What's the matter, you look scared?"

Wu Yao smiled wryly: "No... nothing, what do you want? The same? Buoyancy forest cake?"

"No, it's too hot, I want panna cotta."

"Coconut juice? Coconut paste?" Wu Yao put the dessert list on the table.

"Then coconut panna cotta..."

When it was getting dark, Wu Yao carefully opened the curtains, and most of the flower shops opposite had turned off the lights.

But at the door of the store, Zeng Ke was observing a luminous tobacco plant.

"Why is it still there? Isn't he tired? Wu Yao secretly said in his heart.

Wu Yao went straight to the production room again, and while Zeng Ke was still there, he wanted to make a dessert.Just pretend it's leftovers from today's sale. Anyway, his habit is to make and sell them every day, and throw them away if they can't sell them all.

Although the ingredients for dessert will also be refrigerated, the cream will dry out after a long time.And according to Wu Yao's temperament, he always makes and sells them now, and if he can't sell them all, he can only throw them away.

Wu Yao walked into the production room, opened the refrigerator, and quickly and methodically took out butter, whipped cream and other ingredients.

"Just make...ph blueberry muffins." Wu Yao muttered to himself.

ph blueberry muffins, an improved and simple dessert, and during the process, Wu Yao has time to make another dessert.Mainly Campbell crisps and batter.

Crisp grains are simple, mix butter, low-gluten flour and other four powders in a mass of 12 grams, and the butter does not need to be softened.

The batter was difficult, so Wu Yao returned the whipped cream to normal temperature, and the butter melted in water to a liquid state.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Yao quickly washed the blueberries, peeled off the skin of the lemons, mixed the baking powder and all-purpose flour, and sifted it.

At this point, the material is basically ready.

Afraid of wasting time, Wu Yao directly chopped the butter and flour mixture with a spatula.Chop it and put it aside, drag over the normal temperature whipped cream, pour in the melted butter, sea salt, eggs, and powdered sugar in succession, and mix well.

Add the sifted baking powder in two additions, add lemon zest and mix well.In addition to the blueberries that were mixed into the batter, Wu Yao also carefully placed the reserved blueberries on the top of the batter.

Put it into a piping bag, squeeze it into a paper cup, sprinkle with a layer of Campbell crisps, put it in the oven and adjust it to 180°C for 25 minutes.

The whole action is done in one go.Without even thinking about it, Wu Yao started working on another dessert.

Macaron.

Wu Yao sorted out the materials, first took out 50 grams of almond powder and powdered sugar, mixed and sieved, then added 20 grams of egg whites and an appropriate amount of color powder, and stirred.

During this process, Wu Yao boiled the syrup.The temperature of the syrup was controlled at 120°C empirically.

While cooking the syrup, beat the powder in your hand to [-]%, pour it in quickly when the temperature is suitable, and then beat it at a high speed until it becomes dry and foamy. At this time, the Italian meringue is complete.

Take 65 grams of Italian meringue, add the sifted almond powder, and mix well with a soft spatula.

Squeeze the batter evenly on the silicone mat with a piping bag, and tap the baking pan to shake out the air bubbles.

Use another oven, put the batter in, heat up to 150°C, lower heat to 120°C, and bake for 18 minutes.

Wu Yao turned to ph blueberry muffins to check the time, good guy, 7 minutes passed, and the two happened to be sold together.

During these 18 minutes, Wu Yao felt the time was too long for the first time. He looked outside from time to time, afraid that Zeng Ke would leave.

"Don't go so fast..."

Zeng Ke didn't understand the principle of glowing tobacco, he sat there observing for almost half a day.

Jiangnan was busy cooking in the back room, because Zeng Ke felt that Jiangnan should pay the rent because he slept in his shop for one night.

Jiang Nan went crazy: "I come to you for a drink and there are so many things to do!"

Zeng Ke: "Just tell me what to do."

"Is it okay to cook you a meal?" Jiang Nan couldn't give Zeng Ke a penny.

Zeng Ke thought for a while, and said solemnly: "As long as you don't die, it's fine."

Jiang Nan: "You really don't let me take any advantage, although I don't know if this is considered a bargain."

So Jiangnan decided to cook a meal for Zeng Ke.

Since there is someone cooking, Zeng Ke is not a fool, so he would not rush to work. He simply sat in front of the flower shop and looked at the flowers. Anyway, his house and the flower shop were separated by a wall, and Jiang Nan shouted after dinner.

"Zeng Ke." Zeng Ke heard someone calling him, looked up and saw Wu Yao who was smiling.

Zen Ke put down the glowing tobacco in his hand: "Hello."

Wu Yao thought to himself, did he really not notice his peeping in the afternoon?

Wu Yao said: "Zeng Ke, let me tell you, you're hungry..."

Before he finished speaking, an angry shout came from the flower shop. "Zeng Ke, come over to eat if you're still alive, I'll help you if my back hurts... are you?" Jiang Nan came out cursing, but looked up and saw Wu Yao choked.

Wu Yao always felt that the man in the apron in front of him was eye-catching: "My name is Wu Yao, the owner of the dessert shop opposite."

Jiang Nan instantly understood that Zeng Ke had received a piece of dessert in the morning!

Jiangnan: "Oh! You are the one..." Zeng Ke covered Jiangnan's mouth.

Zeng Ke looked at Wu Yao: "Boss, goodbye."

Regardless of Jiangnan's struggle, he directly dragged Jiangnan into the flower shop and closed the door behind his back.

Wu Yao didn't say a word, and the biscuit hidden behind his back was crushed to pieces. "Looks like it's useless."

So close, so close that it is enviable.

Wu Yao turned around and walked back to the store: "Let's think about what to do tomorrow."

Jiang Nan, who was dragged into the flower shop, sat at the dinner table and said with some regret: "The little boss is pretty good-looking..."

Zeng Ke ate calmly: "Go if you like."

Jiang Nan sneered: "I don't like young boys. You really don't think about it?"

Zeng Ke raised his eyebrows: "Not interested."

Jiang Nan: "Then you just let him do this?"

Zeng Ke: "I think what I did is already obvious enough, I'm not interested in him."

Jiang Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother, I didn't even see it!"

"Then what should be done?"

"If you really hate him, just refuse next time, don't give people too much hope!"

Wu Yao over there is thinking about the dessert for Zeng Ke tomorrow.

He wanted to confess directly.
