Chapter 11 Matcha Macarons

[Xia Youqing: I want you to see my ability to transform waste films, so that you can feel the atmosphere of the pictures, not to make you doubt my filming.These photos don’t match today’s theme, but it doesn’t mean they won’t match future themes. And your eyes, sometimes it’s too difficult to capture other emotions that flash in your eyes. Today is the true color of the show, and you may need to change it in the future. pose. 】

Xie Qiujie didn't really want to cooperate with him to change his posture.

He now kind of regrets his decision to be a model back then.

[Xie Qiujie: Please take a normal picture, don't make a fancy film, don't talk about sexual topics in the middle of the night, or report it. 】

[Xie Qiujie: I'm asleep. 】

Before Xie Qiujie turned off his mobile phone, Xia Youqing transferred a sum of money. Although it is true that Xie Qiujie did not take up any time today and did not let him pose with a hypocritical smile, Xia Youqing used his photos to make it look like a film.

Xie Qiujie took the money without hesitation, and replied - the facial paralysis has been cured.

It means that for Qian's sake, he reluctantly cooperates with Xia Youqing in filming.

【Xia Youqing:...】

Zhang Chaoyang's graduation trip ended, and the group returned home after the barbecue. Xia Youqing sent pictures and videos to Zhang Chaoyang in a hurry.

Xie Qiujie still works hard to bake dim sum.

Xia Youqing seemed to have found inspiration, and he was sweeping the streets for street photography, but he didn't even ask him to take pictures of other subjects. He only occasionally took pictures of his daily life, with the excuse of adapting to his lens.

But it did work. Xie Qiujie was no longer so stiff when facing the camera, and sometimes he could even give Xia Youqing a sharp look through the camera.

In mid-August, it gets hotter and hotter, with a maximum temperature of nearly 40 degrees.

When I woke up this morning, it was suddenly raining.

The rain in this city has always been unpredictable and unpredictable, and even the weather forecast cannot accurately understand it.

The rain was getting heavier and bigger, and the bean-sized raindrops slapped on the glass. The city was hot and humid, and it was uncomfortable.

I have six days off and one day off. Today, I have a rest during the Xie Qiu Festival. After making a hearty breakfast slowly, I went to the supermarket to buy some materials for future use in the kitchen.

The eldest brother said that my sister-in-law has not had a good appetite recently. The sour appetizers are cured by the desserts. Xie Qiujie thought about making a jar of lemon jam, cookies and macarons and sending them over, so as to keep them longer.

The storage time of mochi is short, and the taste will be poor after a long time, but the storage time of scone is relatively long.

Cookies are easy to make, but the process of macarons is a little complicated, and the requirements for oven temperature and time are higher. Xie Qiujie plans to make macarons first.

The first key to macaron is sieving.

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar and stir. Xie Qiujie sifts several times before picking out a batch of high-quality flour. The surface of the macaron made in this way will be fine and shiny.

Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, beat the egg whites with an egg beater, add sugar three times, beat the egg whites into sharp corners, and the meringue is complete.

Stir the sifted high-quality powder into the meringue one by one, and keep stumbling until the batter will slide down like a fluid when the scraper is lifted.

Tripping is also the key, too dry or too thin will cause macarons to crack.

A macaron without perfect appearance is not a successful macaron, and Xie Qiujie will eat the failed finished product by himself.

Put it in a piping bag and squeeze it into the shape of small round cakes, and drying the skin is the key.

Put it on the tea table on Xie Qiu Festival, the tea table is better ventilated than the kitchen.

He was about to go back to the kitchen to continue working when he found that the phone on the coffee table was vibrating wildly. He picked it up and saw several messages from Xia Youqing, the earliest one was two hours ago.

[Xia Youqing: Have you gotten up yet, have you had breakfast yet? 】

[Xia Youqing: What are you doing? 】

[Xia Youqing: Are you resting today? It happened to be raining, so let's go out to take pictures. 】

[Xia Youqing: The rain seems to be a bit heavy, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, forget it, it's not suitable, I'll go out to collect wind by myself. 】

Two 10 minutes ago.

[Xia Youqing: I passed by your house by the way, Xie Qiujie, open the door for me quickly. 】

[Xia Youqing: It's raining heavily outside, I'm so scared, I'm at your door, take me in for a while. 】

【Xia Youqing: Weak, pitiful and helpless jpg】

【Xia Youqing: Cats cry jpg】

[The other party's video call has ended. 】

Xie Qiujie was speechless, this man is so free, he ran to other people's house in heavy rain, and still dropped by, why didn't he drop by to Tibet.

Xie Qiujie went to open the door for him, and the umbrella dripping with rain was put aside. Xia Youqing leaned against the wall in a refreshing and unruly outfit, holding a camera in his hand, only his shoes and trousers were wet.

It's not as pitiful as he was scared when it rained heavily on WeChat.

Xie Qiujie put his arms around his chest and looked at him coldly, "I don't think you are afraid, why don't you squat at the door for a while longer."

Xia Youqing smiled and squeezed into the house, "Don't, I'm very scared. You let me squat in front of the house alone. It doesn't make sense, right. I'll stay at your house for a while and leave when the rain stops."

Like those scumbags who say that I just can't get in.

Xie Qiujie took a second look at his shoes. He had seen that a pair of shoes was worth half a month's salary, and now it was ruined by Xia Youqing when he went out in the rain.

"The shoes have been changed." Xie Qiujie finally let him in, and when he was let in, an unbelievable feeling flashed through his mind.

He actually had friends who "dropped in", and at the same time felt that Xia Youqing was getting more and more shameless.

Xia Youqing changed his shoes under Xie Qiujie's instructions, and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw the small round cakes on the coffee table, which were of different colors and were all beautiful.

He was surprised: "What are you going to do?"

"Macaron."

"Macaron, I heard that it is a hallowed dessert. It is very difficult. You can even do this?"

Xie Qiujie gave him a strange look. He thought Xia Youqing only knew photography, "Practice makes perfect."

So Xia Youqing smiled shamelessly, "Xie Qiujie, would you like me to have afternoon tea?"

Xie Qiujie put the phone screen showing 10:[-] noon in front of his eyes, and said coldly, "Look at the screen and tell me what time is it?"

"It's so fierce. If you don't invite me, please don't invite me. You cook so much food by yourself, are you in a bad mood to study desserts?"

Xia Youqing observed his expression carefully, but didn't see any uncomfortable emotion.

Xie Qiujie: "Send it to my brother."

Xie Qiujie turned back to the kitchen to make macaron sandwiches, and said mercilessly, "Play by yourself, don't bother me in the kitchen."

The sandwich is ready in Xie Qiu Festival. The macarons are not so fast to dry, so the cookies are ready. Chop the cranberries for later use. Cut the butter into a bowl and soften at room temperature. Add powdered sugar and stir. Pour in cranberries and continue stirring.

Xia Youqing wandered around the living room. The last time he came in, he didn't observe his house very much. He stayed in the kitchen and watched him make snacks.

He saw several artifacts.

There are actually several scented candles on the shelf in the living room, one in the shape of a coconut shell, one in the shape of an orange, and one in the shape of a cylinder with dried flowers stuck on it.

Xia Youqing smelled it closely, and it smelled like a pleasant pine fragrance, like a forest wet with dew in the morning, with the peace of mind of a rustic log cabin and the refreshingness of seeing the sunrise in the clouds.

Xie Qiujie’s home has a strong family atmosphere, and many things are handmade by him, such as the mint grown on his balcony, the desserts dried on the coffee table, and the busy figure in the kitchen.

Living with such a person is very comfortable, Xia Youqing is a little envious of his roommate.

The sound of the rain outside seems to be quieter.

Listening to his voice walking around the kitchen, Xia Youqing suddenly felt as if he had found his home. He might really have wandered outside for too long.

"Xie Qiujie, where is your roommate? I stay here all the time, does he mind?" Xia Youqing walked into the kitchen and asked him. He knew that some co-renters didn't like roommates to bring friends to stay at home for a long time.

Xie Qiujie was stirring the batter evenly and pouring it into the mold. When he looked up, he saw Xia Youqing talking.

He said lightly: "The roommate has moved out, and now I rent the whole thing and live alone."

Xia Youqing's eyes lit up, but his expression was a little gloomy, "Xie Qiujie, let me be your roommate. My rented house has expired and I want to change my place. I was planning to find a house today, but I didn't expect it to rain so heavily."

"I live alone, so I'm comfortable." Xie Qiujie put the mold in the refrigerator to refrigerate. He made two flavors, one original cranberry and one matcha cranberry.

My sister-in-law may prefer the matcha flavor.

"I won't disturb you if I live with you. I often run outside, and it's more convenient for us to cooperate."

He said with a pitiful look on his face, his bright eyes drooped, and his voice seemed to be a little depressed, "You know, I'm often away from home, and I haven't stayed in any place for a long time. I always feel like a nomad. The same goes for the sub-rental house, which is actually a place to rest.”

"After drifting outside for a long time, I just want to have a home, find a destination, and just have someone by my side every time I come back."

Xie Qiujie: "..."

He seemed to smell matcha. He opened the refrigerator and took a look. The matcha cookies were tightly wrapped in the mold.

Xia Youqing looked up at him again, "It's expensive for you to rent the whole house alone, you are reluctant, let me live in, I have good living habits, and I won't bring anyone home."

Xie Qiujie: "..."

Xie Qiujie is a soft eater, he can't stand this kind of pitiful expression, and he's easy to talk to when he's in a good mood.

He thought about it.

In fact, getting along with Xia Youqing is very comfortable. He doesn't need to adapt to his new roommate, and he doesn't need to explain his deafness to his roommate. Xia Youqing seems to have a good living habit.

Moreover, the rent is shared between two people, which is cheaper.

With the salary and the money for Xia Youqing to be a model, and the rent reduced, Xie Qiuri's tuition in September will be almost enough.

a long time.

Xie Qiujie said: "Okay, you can go and see another room, the former roommate's things should be cleaned up, you give me this month's rent, and you can move in when you want."

Xia Youqing was happy, "OK, the rent will be transferred to you later. It's raining heavily outside and I can't go back now. I don't have much luggage, so it's easy to move here."

After a pause, Xie Qiujie said in the third chapter of the law: "Don't litter, don't hoard bowls in the kitchen, don't touch my ingredients, kitchen hygiene is very important."

"I don't care about the rest. You can take someone home to sleep. I can't hear you anyway, but you can't throw clothes and pants around in the living room."

Xia Youqing: "..."

Xia Youqing was a little funny, "What kind of roommate did you meet before, and I asked you to add the last sentence, I am a little afraid to sleep in that room now."

Xie Qiujie didn't want to recall much, "Actually, that roommate is okay, but life is a bit messy."

That was Xie Qiujie's first roommate in this house. He was not bad, but the clothes and socks he wore would be misplaced.

After Xie Qiujie told him, he just messed around in his room.

He didn't care about Xie Qiujie's deafness, and he didn't gossip at all. He even felt that Xie Qiujie's deafness made it easier for him to do business, so he barely spent three months with Xie Qiujie.

During the three months, Xie Qiujie saw him bring girls home several times. They might be doing sports beside him, but Xie Qiujie couldn't hear him, so it didn't affect him.

Only one day, Xie Qiujie worked overtime at night.

When I came back, I saw clothes, pants and girls' underwear thrown all over the living room, thrown from the living room to the door of the room.

The light was on in the room, the door was not closed tightly, and there was still a gap exposed. Although he couldn't see the inside, Xie Qiujie was still very embarrassed and wanted to close the door for them.

At that time, he was a little thankful that he couldn't hear, otherwise he might have to pay a lot of money for a pair of clean ears.

He didn't know if the people inside heard him, so he took a shower secretly, and hurried back to his room to sleep, for fear of disturbing others.

Then, one day, that roommate said to him, "I heard you open the door that day."

Xie Qiujie was so embarrassed that he pulled out the Fairy Castle, "Aren't you embarrassed?"

The roommate laughed and took a puff of smoke, "Why is it embarrassing, isn't it normal for men to have needs? Sex is a physiological instinct, and you can't hear it. It's actually a bit exciting to say it, just like having an affair. Xie Qiujie, after thinking about it, I don't know It seems that you have no need, have you never done it?"

The roommate laughed again: "Have you seen the movie? Have you ever touched a woman's hand?"

Xie Qiujie didn't want to talk about this kind of issue with a man.

But the roommate said: "Xie Qiujie, you haven't even watched the movie, have you? Can you do masturbation? You don't have any physical problems, right? If you really haven't masturbated, I still kindly suggest you go to the hospital to see it." one look."

Xie Qiujie's self-esteem rose, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know how to do it by hand, and I've seen movies."

The first time I saw a film was in the factory. When I lived in the dormitory, there were a group of men. The roommates would watch it together and drag him to watch it, but he couldn’t hear it. He heard that the woman’s voice was so beautiful. I don't understand either.

He only looked at the expression, and felt that the woman in the film was in pain, her face flushed as if she couldn't breathe.

And he doesn't like the teasing words of his roommates, which is very uncomfortable and makes him feel very disrespectful.

Then the roommate took him to watch the film for the second time.

He said it was to show him the collection, and wondered if Xie Qiujie would respond.

But after a few films, Xie Qiujie just felt sick, and couldn't think of anything in his mind or body.

In the end, his roommate still suggested that he go to the hospital to have a look, but he knew that he was fine, he just didn't have much need for that.

After the first roommate left, the third roommate was Yuan Yu, and it took Yuan Yu and him a long time to get along to this point.

While the cookies were being refrigerated and the macarons were drying, Xie Qiujie made lemon jam and put it in the refrigerator to seal and refrigerate. By the way, he replaced the lemonade he had already drunk with lemon black tea.

Xia Youqing watched quietly, and suddenly asked Xie Qiujie, "Do you want to start a side job?"

"Model?" Xie Qiujie felt that he already had a side job, and he couldn't bear another photographer with the same feathers as Xia Yuqing.

"No," Xia Youqing said with a smile, "do food bloggers know? It means that you cook food in the kitchen every day in your free time and study what you want to study. I will set up a video camera for you and help you edit the video and accompany the copywriting." After uploading to the website, after getting traffic and popularity, if a brand finds you to cooperate, you will naturally get money.”

"I know, it's too troublesome, I don't want to do it." Although Xie Qiujie thought about the money, it was not so easy to successfully obtain traffic and popularity.

He doesn't like interacting with people or showing up on the Internet.

Xia Youqing: "Don't you want to be rich?"

"I'm working very well now, there are no major disasters, and it's no problem to support myself, and I don't want to be rich."

Xie Qiujie is easy to satisfy.

Xia Youqing likes him for this, he is also very homely, and it seems that living with Xie Qiujie is not bad.

After an hour, the skin of the macaron is dry, and it is not sticky to the touch and still elastic.

Set the temperature of the oven. Xie Qiujie has been using this oven for a long time and is very familiar with his baking. If there is no accident, macarons will not fail.

After all, he had failed several times before, and Yuan Yu was afraid when he saw macarons during that time.

Baked, assembled, and a beautiful macaron is done.

Xie Qiujie found out the box and sealed it, and showed Xia Youqing, who looked at it for a long time, two matcha-flavored macarons to satisfy his cravings.

I poured out a few more ice cubes from the refrigerator and put them in two glasses. The lemon black tea was clear and reddish, and the glass walls were steaming with cold water.

Xie Qiujie took a sip, it was cool and refreshing, with a suitable sweet and sour taste, the sourness of lemon blended with the mellowness of black tea.

He licked his lips unconsciously, and he also liked iced drinks. Summer and lemonade always go together.

The skin of the green macaron is smooth, with a faint luster under the natural light, and there is a beautiful lace skirt around the lower edge.

Xia Youqing took a bite first. The shell was thin and crispy, and the filling was sweet and soft. Compared with the creamy texture, it was more chewy, with distinct layers and rich taste. The faint almonds melted in the mouth, and then expanded and spread, and the matcha flavor followed. Come, the fragrance and astringent fragrance do not feel greasy, but the lips and teeth are fragrant.

With ice cold lemon black tea, this hot and humid rainy day has become comfortable.

Xia Youqing boasted: "It's delicious, not sweet."

Xie Qiujie glanced at him, knowing that he is not sweet is the highest evaluation.

After packaging the macarons, take out the refrigerated cookies, cut them into thin rectangular shapes with a knife, place them in a baking tray, arrange them neatly, and put them in the oven to bake.

After baking, Xia Youqing rubbed a few more biscuits.

The rain outside has lightened, but the temperature is still hot, drying out the water vapor.

The cookies are all baked, cooled, packaged, and ready to be sent to the courier station for Xie Qiu Festival.

Xie Qiujie said to Xia Youqing: "The rain is light, you can go home."

Xia Youqing swiped his phone lazily at this moment, "This is my home, I share the rent with you, and all the money has been transferred."

Xie Qiujie: ""

How could this man be so aggressive.

"Then you stay here, I'll send something, and I'll open the door later."

"Let me go with you, and let's get to know the nearby road." Xia Youqing put away his mobile phone, wearing sandals, ready to follow him out.

Xie Qiujie glanced at him: "Are you a primary school student?"

Xia Youqing smiled and said: "Okay, then you go and come back quickly, by the way, let me ask, it's almost lunch time, what are you having for lunch?"

Xie Qiujie: ""

Very good, I haven't even started to move things, it seems that I have already moved in, Xie Qiujie admires this shamelessness.
