Chapter 278: Strategically eating and drinking(1/2)

 When "Teacher Catherine" finally turned her head to face him, Jiang Jin felt slightly relieved.

Although today's "Teacher Catherine" seems to be a little more deserted than usual, and the milky fragrance on her body is much lighter, replaced by a kind of aloof arrogance.

But coincidentally, just when Teacher Catherine decided to keep a distance from Jiang Jin not long ago, she had been using this cold attitude to face this younger brother.

So although Jiang Jin felt that today's "Teacher Catherine" was a little cold, he just felt that she was trying to keep a distance from him again, and it was completely impossible to think in other directions.

.......Isn't it? How can we think in other directions?

After all, the refrigerator in front of "Teacher Catherine" has been opened, and the silver bowl filled with shaved ice inside is empty.

Coupled with the strong aroma of sesame seeds wafting in the surrounding air, I could tell with my buttocks that the lady in front of me must have just finished spoonful after spoonful of the dessert Jiang Jin left for herself.

Jiang Jin has long been used to it, and he is even very happy about it.

Because Teacher Catherine is willing to come over and eat her dessert, it means that she is more or less willing to get close to him, instead of trying to keep a distance from him like before.

Especially at the end of the greasy encounter with crispy intestines, Catherine specifically emphasized that Jiang Jin should stop focusing on herself, and wanted to dispel Jiang Jin's strange thoughts about herself, etc.

Because Teacher Catherine's rejection was so decisive, Jiang Jin felt somewhat lost for a while.

But now it's okay... This kind neighbor sister took the initiative to appear in front of me again. Although she still looks fake and cold, this is at least a good start.
p>

So he looked at Catherine who was standing there without leaving directly, took a step forward and said with a smile:

"It's so great. I thought we would never have the opportunity to talk face to face like this again."

"The opportunity to talk face to face? Didn't I give it to you last time?"

My friend? Is she... Is she imitating the big leader's self-proclaimed name? Don't tell me, it's quite decent.

When Jiang Jin heard this self-proclaimed name that he had heard at a luncheon, Jiang Jin raised his eyebrows, thinking that this woman was really pretending to be.

But after all, this "Teacher Catherine" is the daughter of that "Katherine". The two mothers and daughters look exactly the same, and it is normal for a daughter to learn her mother's way of speaking.

Moreover, Teacher Catherine had said before that Mother intended for her to inherit the first position in the Night Watch.

If you take this into consideration, it is normal for Teacher Catherine to start adapting and learning early, so Jiang Jin doesn't feel anything wrong with her claim.

He even shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "Yes, we had a face-to-face conversation last time, but it was too short and we didn't make it clear at all."

"Is it short?" Catherine thought for a while after hearing this, and nodded: "Yes, there were other people present last time, and we really didn't have many opportunities to communicate."

........

Obviously, the "last time" mentioned by Jiang Jin here and the "last time" mentioned by Catherine are actually completely different things.

Jiang Jin's "last time" was when the two met at Uncle Taiqiong's house and ate crispy large intestine together.

Catherine's "last time" was when the two met at a lunch party at the Night Watch headquarters and competed with each other through the secrets of ingredients.

Moreover, the "others" mentioned by Catherine were the senior members of the Night Watch, while the "others" Jiang Jin recognized were You Mi who was dining with them at that time... The difference between them can be described as a world of difference.

However, humans are sometimes such strange creatures, and there are many unclear parts in language and descriptions.

Therefore, even if the content of the conversation between two people is not on the same channel at all, they can still use their own imagination to make the conversation proceed smoothly, and no one feels that anything is wrong.

But one thing is certain, the current "Teacher Catherine" does not seem to object to continuing to communicate with Jiang Jin, which makes him very happy.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at the moment, Jiang Jin invited: "Let's not stand and talk like this. Let's go sit inside. I'll get you some tea and your favorite pastry dessert."

Dessert? Pastry dessert? As soon as she heard this sentence, Catherine suddenly became energetic.

Yes, this young man actually knows that I like to eat desserts the most, and he has a very good ability to observe people's emotions.

Originally, Catherine's favorite food was dessert, especially when she heard about the dessert made by Jiang Jin, she couldn't help but said in a slightly excited tone: "Lead the way."

Hearing the slightly excited and familiar tone, Jiang Jin pursed his lips and smiled, then took the lead and walked inside.

Pretend, keep pretending. You, Teacher Catherine, still want to pretend to be that mother. It’s a beautiful idea. I can see through you at a glance, hum.

In this relaxed and happy atmosphere, Jiang Jin took Catherine into the large living room of the safe house.

After coming to this place again after an unknown number of years, Catherine couldn't help but look around, her expression somewhat dazed.

When was the last time you came to this safe house? A thousand years ago? Two thousand years ago?

I can’t remember clearly...because too much time has passed, and Catherine can’t remember many things.

She just felt that the layout and decoration here were very familiar to her and she missed it very much. After all, this was the safe house that Catherine had made with great enthusiasm. It should have taken several months to complete.

It's just that the enthusiasm and interest that I had back then have been washed away without a trace by the long torrent of time, and all that's left is a body like a walking zombie.

While she was looking around nostalgically, Jiang Jin came over carrying a large tray.

"How's it going? You haven't sat here for a long time, right? Are you a little strange?" Jiang Jin put the tray on the coffee table between the two of them, and set up the table with a large snack box in the middle.

"Yes." Catherine couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a long time, long enough for the stubborn rocks to weather and the sky to fall."

Phew, you are worthy of being a teacher, what you say is exaggeration.

After hearing this poetic and exaggerated description, Jiang Jin smiled slightly but didn't take it to heart.

After all, it has only been a month or two since the last time Teacher Catherine came to this safe roof. How come the stubborn rocks have weathered and the sky has turned upside down?

Immediately, Jiang Jin poured each of them a cup of herbal tea taught by Elulu herself, and then opened the lid of the snack box.

This vanilla tea is the most classic style from Yege. It has the sweetness of wheat and a hint of bitterness. It is perfect when paired with ancient and traditional desserts.

And the moment the snack box was opened, the aroma of wheat, egg and cream that gushed out from it hit Catherine's forehead, making her want to hold the box and take a deep sip.

The impulse.

With the opening of the snack box, the four-color snacks carefully arranged like potted plants also appeared in Catherine's eyes.

Dim sum, dim sum, they are all dim sum, and they are all made of puff pastry.

This was originally a "four-color puff pastry box" that Jiang Jin was going to make for Anjie and the others, but since "Teacher Catherine" is here, let's use it to entertain her first.

"Puff pastry" is a way of making snacks, which can be divided into Chinese puff pastry and Western puff pastry.

Chinese meringue is more delicious and crispy than Western meringue, and has more flavor. It is often used in the production of various desserts.

For example, Jiang Jin prepared four cakes today, namely "Egg Yolk Crispy", "Salt and Pepper Crispy", "Durian Crispy" and "Lotus Crispy".

These four kinds of pastries are all classics among Chinese pastries. Jiang Jin also put a lot of effort into their shapes, making them look as beautiful as a painting.

Among them, the "egg yolk cake" has a golden and round surface and is placed in a small bird's nest made of deep-fried silver vermicelli. It looks like many eggs that have just been laid, very cute.

"Salt and pepper cake" is covered with fragrant white sesame seeds on the outside, and is rolled into the shape of beef tongue. It is spread on the bottom layer of the snack box in a very regular shape.

The pastry used in "Durian Cake" is quite special. Jiang Jin added a little mugwort into this pastry, giving the oval-shaped durian pastries a emerald green appearance.

As for the "Lotus Flower Cake", which is also made of pastry dough, the pastry layer is clear, and the petals are made of layers of pink pastry. With the white coconut core faintly exposed in the deepest part, it looks even more elegant and unique.

This...this is...so beautiful.

Seeing such a beautiful dessert box, even Catherine, who is used to seeing all kinds of desserts, couldn't help but be deeply attracted.

She reached out and picked up a perfectly baked egg yolk cake, carefully put it to her mouth as if holding a treasure, and took a bite.

The moment she took one bite, Catherine knew she was doomed... It was the first time in her life that she had eaten such a delicious snack, and she suddenly became a prisoner of dessert.

"Egg yolk cake" itself is a very classic type of Chinese pastry. It pays attention to the wrapping of oil skin and pastry. It requires layers of texture, as thin as cicada wings, and a full sense of layering when you bite it.

When Catherine took this bite, she first felt that her teeth had cut through a large number of layers of crispy puff pastry.

Then, a soft and chewy ice-skinned glutinous rice layer appeared under the pastry, which was in great contrast with the pastry.

If you bite down a little harder, you will break through the glutinous rice layer and you will eat the soft, sweet, slightly grainy red bean filling and the salty, oily and delicious quicksand egg yolk filling.

The crispy and refreshing puff pastry, the sweet and soft red bean filling, the soft and chewy glutinous rice cake, the crispy and salty plump egg yolk...with every bite, four different textures blend together, it's simply delicious

The ultimate enjoyment of taste buds and texture.

Sweet, fresh, salty, and fragrant, although it is a dessert, it contains such complex and harmonious flavors, which makes Catherine's tongue feel like she is experiencing a wonderful storm that is too much to overdo.

Unknowingly, after eating an egg yolk puff pastry, the leader of the night watchman was so moved that the corners of his mouth became a little moist, and he couldn't help but stretch out his pink tongue to lick the remaining puff pastry around his mouth.
p>

In the past, even if she was beaten to death (although she could not be beaten to death), Catherine would not do such embarrassing little tricks in front of others.

But now she couldn't care about so much. After taking a sip of refreshing vanilla tea, the big leader continued to reach out and grab other kinds of pastries, like an old wolf that had been hungry for a long time.

Although the "four-color puff pastry box" made by Jiang Jin uses puff pastry technology, the flavor of each pastry is completely different.

"Salt and pepper puff pastry" adds a large amount of salt and pepper powder into the puff pastry. The unique aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and the crispy aroma of flour are blended together, making the salty aroma a little spicy and the spicy aroma revealing a hint of sweetness. It tastes great.

Very special.

The "Durian Crispy" is filled with durian filling that is beaten into a paste after adding cream. The strong durian sweetness quickly wraps up the broken pastry after one bite, like a durian tsunami in the mouth.

"Lotus cake" is paired with a relatively novel coconut filling. After frying, the dried shredded coconut is mixed with a little concentrated coconut milk jelly, which makes the whole pastry full of rare coconut aroma, which is impressive.

These kinds of pastries with different flavors and shapes, plus the deodorized vanilla tea passed down by Elulu, really make people want to eat more and more, and the more they eat, the more they can't stop.

Although from a certain perspective, these are very common things in Chinese pastries, there is nothing strange about them.

But there are no Chinese pastries in this world. In other words, these are novel delicacies that the local residents have never heard of or seen.
