Otherworldly Pastry Chef

The method of chicken minced shortbread is not much different from other shortbread, but the fillings inside are different, and the baking time is a little different.

Hei Xiao said that he had hunted back fire songbirds, and he did hunt two of them back.Because the meat quality of the flamingo is very suitable for making minced meat, Ginkgo chose it as the raw material.In fact, speaking of it, it should be called bird velvet shortbread.

The puff pastry made with the oil from the fire songbird has a faint aroma. This kind of bird does not have much oil, probably because it likes to eat the leaves of spicy plants, and some spices remain in the oil.Ginkgo discovered this when eating the stewed bird meat made by Hei Xiao before.I didn't expect that the fragrance can be released so naturally when making puff pastry.

According to Bai Guo's request, Hei Xiao smashed the breast meat of the Flamingo with a wooden stick into minced meat.

"Ginkgo, is this going to be wrapped in this puff pastry?"

Ginkgo nodded: "Not yet, I have to add egg whites and seasonings to these minced meat before putting them in. When you eat this way, the outside is crispy and the inside is smooth, the outside is fragrant, and the inside is soft. It is delicious. I used to When making minced chicken shortbread, the owner can eat a whole oven in one go every time. By the way, this is best paired with chicken bone soup. I saw a few plum trees today, a lot of big and round greengages Xiaohua and the others said that it is delicious when it is ripe. Have you ever eaten pickled greengage? It’s delicious. Greengage wine, salted dried plum, greengage sauce, greengage vinegar. I just picked a little, originally I planned to make green plum sauce for you to try. Now it is also good for stewing meat."

Hearing Bai Guo talk about a lot of things made by Qingmei in one breath, Hei Xiao swallowed reflexively, not greedy, but sour.During the years when he left Black Cloud City alone to live in the forest, he tried almost everything.The green plum smelled very good. He once picked it off and bit into it, but he couldn't recall the result.Sour and astringent, he didn't even eat ripe plums after that.Unexpectedly, Ginkgo actually talked about so many foods made from plums.

"Very sour and astringent."

Ginkgo smiled and said, "Of course you can eat it directly. But it's good to make food. Let's pick some more the day after tomorrow. Make plum vinegar and salted dried plums. When they are more mature, you can smoke ebony plums, which are very delicious. It’s useful, when it’s hot, you can make ebony soup, and the ebony soup I made is delicious. It’s sweet and sour, and everyone in the demon market likes it. But I only sold it once.”

Hei Xiao put the minced bird meat into the basin.

"Why? Not many people like it?"

Bai Guo sighed: "Yes. But those bad monsters will rob me. They won't pay for drinking. I can't beat them, so I won't go. Anyway, the demon market can also exchange things for things, I don't care. They use the dim sum they make for the ingredients. My dim sum is very popular!"

"There are bad monsters too. It wasn't easy for you before." Hei Xiao sighed.

Ginkgo pours the beaten egg white into the minced bird meat.

"There are good and bad everywhere. But it doesn't matter, they won't affect my mood for too long. That's why I thought, if I can sell dim sum here, I can make money."

Hei Xiao nodded: "The food you cook is delicious. But it's not easy to buy a shop in the city. I don't have that much money yet. You wait for me for half a year. I hunted hard for half a year, and then I got ten thousand There are beastmen of various races there, and they don’t hate me too much, and they don’t know me. You can buy it at a good price. When you have money, you can buy a shop for you.”

Bai Guo looked at Hei Xiao, his eyes sparkled: "Hei Xiao, you are so kind to me! But don't be so troublesome. I can also prepare it and sell it at the Ten Thousand Beast Fair."

Hei Xiao told him: "The Ten Thousand Beast Fair only happens once every six months. But Yancheng is not far from Ten Thousand Beast City, and I can get there within ten days at my speed."

Bai Guo grinned: "It's only once in such a long time. Then I'll sell it at the big market of the Leopard Clan. It's okay, I won't make a lot. If we can't sell it, we can still eat it ourselves. Don't think too much about it!"

The minced meat stuffing made of flamingo bird meat is put together with egg whites, and the taste is still soft after frying. The salty and fresh taste is mixed with a little five-spice powder, which is very suitable for the taste of Heixiao.It's just a little awkward when eating.The outer skin is crispy, and the meringue leaves a bite.In fact, Hei Xiao hadn't waited for the entrance yet. When he picked up the first one, he couldn't hold it properly, so he crushed a lot and dropped it on the ground.

Shortbread is not a staple food for males.Living together for so many days, Bai Guo knows that Hei Xiao eats a lot.He used the leftover egg yolk and flour to make egg-flavored noodle soup, noodles in the soup boiled with flamingo bones, served with shortbread, and sour plum chicken as a side dish. A piece of roast pork made by Hei Xiao, and ginkgo is also very filling.The main reason is that before eating, he also wiped out a piece of roasted sweet potato, which really ate a lot.

"It's really good to eat barbecue meat wrapped in lettuce leaves." Hei Xiao put the bowls and chopsticks into the big basin, and while tidying up, he lamented the little idea of ​​ginkgo.

Bai Guo burped, and leaned against the back of the chair, completely unable to move.

"Because, slightly~ because I have seen people eat it like this. It is still very good, slightly, to eat. And I am a rabbit, I still like to eat vegetables."

Hei Xiao saw Bai Guo hiccupping, a little funny.

"You seem to be so full for the first time."

Bai Guo smiled stupidly: "Yes. Because the pork you roasted today is so delicious. Also, the oil of the fire song bird meat is very refreshing and has its own fragrance. I like it very much so I eat more .The day after tomorrow, I will use fire songbird meat to make meatballs and milk soup meatballs, it must be delicious!"

"It's amazing that you can still think about eating even after you've stretched like this. You'd better go for a walk in the yard. Otherwise, it won't be comfortable to sit and practice." Hei Xiao suggested.

Bai Guo nodded, then stood up: "I'm so sad. I won't eat like this in the future. Hei Xiao, let me wash the dishes. I agreed to do the housework."

Hei Xiao looked at Bai Guo's stomach: "Can you squat down?"

"Uh..." Bai Guo scratched her head, "I'm sorry, I didn't eat too much on purpose to avoid housework."

Hei Xiao was amused by him: "I don't blame you, so why not apologize. It's okay to eat more of what you like. But it's not good to eat so much and feel uncomfortable. From now on, we will do housework together, so that we It's a family, you know?"

Bai Guo nodded: "I see. Hei Xiao, you really are the best. It's their loss that they haven't seen your goodness for so many years!"

The next morning, Bai Guo packed a small basket of bird crisps and went to Beiming's house accompanied by Hei Xiao.

Bei Ming lived in the south of the city, not far from Hei Xiao's house, only three small streets.When they arrived at Beiming's house, the shortbread in the basket was still warm.

Seeing them coming, Beiming nodded and let them into the yard.The yard of his house is about the same size as Hei Xiao's house, but the walls are very high. There are no trees in the yard, but some flowers and plants that are obviously full of aura.

As soon as he entered the yard, Ginkgo's eyes lit up: "Wow! There are so many flowers and plants!"

Beiming smiled and brought Ginkgo to the flower pond on the left: "Come and try to communicate with these flowers and plants, and tell me how you feel."

Bai Guo turned to look at Hei Xiao.Hei Xiao first asked: "Mr. Beiming, are you going to take Baiguo as your apprentice?"

Beiming looked at Hei Xiao: "Are you asking me this question as a guardian?"

Hei Xiao glanced at Bai Guo, then nodded: "Yes. I need to ensure all safety and interests of Bai Guo."

Beiming nodded: "In that case, I can tell you. If Bai Guo's talent is qualified, I am willing to be his teacher."

Bai Guo blinked: "Uncle Ming, do you mean that if I have talent, you will ask me to make potions?"

Bei Ming looked at Bai Guo and replied with a smile: "Yes. Of course, you need to be willing. No one can force a female to do something she doesn't want to do."

Bai Guo stroked her chin: "But I don't want to be a pharmacist. My ambition is to be a pastry chef!"

Bei Ming didn't know what dim sum was, so naturally he couldn't know what a dim sum chef was.

"what is that?"

Bai Guo handed over the basket: "This is a kind of dim sum, try it. I just made it this morning. It's delicious!"

If it were someone else, when they heard that they wanted to take him as an apprentice, they would definitely agree quickly.And this ginkgo, not only said that he didn't want to be a pharmacist, but also changed the topic to a kind of food called dim sum.It can't be said that Beiming didn't feel unhappy, but he was more curious.So he took the basket, lifted the cloth on it, and there were small browned pancakes inside, which looked very delicate and beautiful, and smelled delicious, so he couldn't help but pick up a piece.When the strength in the hand was a little stronger, the outer skin broke.He was startled.

"This dim sum is crispy."

Ginkgo smiled and replied: "This is puff pastry. It's just a kind of dim sum skin, and the filling is made of flamingos and eggs. I named it Huomingsu. It sounds good!"

Hearing that Bai Guo was talking so lively, Bei Ming picked it up carefully and took a bite.The crust is crispy on the outside, and the filling is fragrant and tender inside.The biscuits are neither dry nor oily, rich in taste but not greasy, especially the size of the biscuits is exactly two bites. Although the outer skin is so crispy that it will fall off, it will not lose too much because of its size.To be honest, he really likes this fresh food.

"Okay! This Huoming Crisp is really delicious! You mean, you want to make these dim sum food and use it for business, right?"

Bai Guo nodded: "Yes. Although it is a bit offensive, I think those ingredients with magic power can also make food with magic power."

Bei Ming agreed with this point: "This is nature. Fruits and vegetables rich in mana can be eaten directly to absorb mana. But they are usually expensive and difficult to obtain. If you want to use magic ingredients to make desserts, you should first You must have the ability to obtain magic ingredients. Children, you also need to understand the energy and effects of all magic plants, this is the foundation of your learning."

"It seems so! In fact, I also know that I should learn a lot. Because I don't understand many things that everyone knows. But if I don't work as a pharmacist, can I still study?" Bai Guo asked seriously.

Bei Ming was defeated by Bai Guo's eyes.Such a lovely child, it is really hard to refuse.What's more, I still have the heart to accept disciples first.

"Of course. I just don't want your talent to be wasted. Come on, let's do the test first."

The results of the tests leave no doubts.Demons are particularly sensitive to things that have aura in nature, because they themselves are the aura of heaven and earth.From the gestation of the spiritual fetus to the enlightenment of the spiritual wisdom and then to the incarnation of the human form, this process is long, and this long process is absorbing spiritual energy.

Ginkgo's sensitivity to every mana plant is precise.Hei Xiao didn't tell Bai Guo to cover up this point in advance.He didn't want Bai Guo to be taken away because of his high talent, and he would be alone again.But Bai Guo had himself in his vision for the future, and he suddenly realized that what he should do was not to stop him, but to work hard to be able to be with Bai Guo forever.The higher the status of ginkgo, the less exclusion and resistance it receives.He didn't want Bai Guo to live a life of being squeezed by others every day like he did before.

Bei Ming was shocked and delighted by Bai Guo's talent.When Bai Guo knelt in front of him to ask for a teacher, he was sure that Bai Guo would become the greatest magic potion in the future... No, it should be a magic pastry master.Although this new profession, Beiming still has no prospects, and he doesn't know whether Baiguo will be successful in the future, but making medicine and making food have a lot in common.He also felt that it was not impossible.Anyway, after learning potion making, I might be able to do both in the future.

Although he has become a teacher, Beiming can't start teaching Baiguo right now.Because Beiming was going away for two months to attend the pharmacist exchange meeting in Tianxiao City, the main city of the Leopard Clan.Moreover, Ginkgo just came to live in Yancheng, and needs more time to communicate and integrate with the people and the environment around him. What Beiming means is that when the females no longer need to go out to collect in this winter, let Ginkgo learn the basics with him.

Back home happily, Bai Guo was obviously very excited.

"I didn't expect the teacher would be so enlightened to allow me to learn his skills, but not to do what he prescribed! You don't know, this is not allowed in our place. The relationship between master and master is deeper than the bondage of blood for a demon. If it is in Lieshen Mountain, if there are monsters who want to recruit apprentices, they will absolutely not allow apprentices to change their own abilities. From this point of view, it is better to be here."

Hei Xiao was also happy for Bai Guo: "Mr. Beiming is one of the best pharmacists in Yancheng, and he is young, and he is the youngest among the great pharmacists of the same level. So he still has hundreds of years to continue slowly. Growing up. You are his first apprentice, which in itself is worth celebrating. I believe that when other people hear the news, they will definitely look at you differently!"

Thinking of what Wu Hua told him, Bai Guo scratched his head: "Although it is worth celebrating, I just remembered. Xiaohua told me that Hu Song has always wanted to be the teacher's apprentice, but the teacher doesn't like him. Accept him. Now that the teacher accepts me, Hu Song must hate me even more."

Hei Xiao also frowned: "I will always be by your side from now on."

Bai Guo sighed: "How can a person deal with unhappy things just when he is happy? Sigh! Forget it, let's not think about these things. It's still early, let's pick green plums and green peaches today. These are all possible. Now pickled fruit. But we need a lot of jars, it seems to cost money again.”

Hei Xiao smiled: "It's okay. The marinated things can be sold. I believe in your craftsmanship."
