Chapter 007 The practice of simple sweets

Song Ye took a brief look at today's accounts, which were pretty good compared to other newly opened dessert shops.

It can only be said that the location chosen by Matsukami Dessert House has unique conditions. It is just opposite the school garden where the eldest ladies gather, which is worthy of the high housing prices here.

There is another important point that cannot be ignored. Because of Matsuye's ability, the return rate of Matsushita Dessert House is horribly high. Basically, about one-third of the students who visited the dessert shop yesterday came back today.

Songshang Dessert House.

Of course, this cannot be seen from the accounts. Matsuya found out by asking Nakai Rinkei who was entertaining guests in the lobby.

Seeing that Misaka Mikoto and others seemed to have ordered their meals, Matsuya called Miyazaki Tomomi down from upstairs and walked towards Misaka Mikoto and others' dining table.

"Ok?"

There was a cold drink placed in front of the four of them, which was brought to them by the very considerate Nakai Linhui.

Saten Ruiko took a sip of the drink on the table, tore off a piece of paper from the small notebook used for ordering, stood up and said to Matsuye:

"It's already ordered, Matsuye-senpai, shall we start now?"

"Let me take a look." Matsuye took the paper from Saten Ruiko's hand and read: "Chocolate angel cake, almond nougat, honey chiffon cake, and cranberry cookies... Okay, let's go!

"

"Oh! Please wait for about an hour, you three." Turning his head halfway, Matsuya quickly turned back to Misaka Mikoto and the others and said, "There are comics and magazines over there at the cashier. You three can use them to pass the time."

"

On the way to the kitchen, Matsuya had to sigh, as expected of the eldest lady of Tokiwadai, she indeed knew something about desserts.

Song Ye just looked at the desserts they ordered just to make sure that the desserts they ordered were not the ones that took a long time to prepare, and the several desserts he just read about all took about an hour to make and could be made.

Varieties that are eaten on the spot.

Entering the kitchen, Kosaka Terahira, who was responsible for preparing meals for the guests, was putting desserts on the plates. He was a little startled when he saw Matsuya suddenly come in.

"Kosaka, I'll use the kitchen. You can continue your work and don't worry about me."

Matsuya said to Kosaka Terahira without looking back while washing her hands.

"Oh." Kosakajihira responded dully, without saying anything more, but looked at Saten Ruiko curiously.

He knew that his boss had a severe mysophobia. Songye generally would not allow strangers to enter a place like the kitchen, and he did not know who this girl was from Songye.

Ignoring Kosaka Terahira's doubts, Matsuya neatly put on his cooking clothes after cleaning his hands, and then took out a spare one and handed it to Saten Ruiko.

"Put it on!"

While turning on the oven to preheat, Matsuya said to Saten Ruiko:

"Because the ingredients for almond nougat and cranberry cookies need to be frozen, we will make these two first. By the way, Saten-san, can you make these two?"

Saten Ruiko, who had also cleaned her hands after Matsuya, retracted her curious eyes from staring at various cooking tools in the kitchen, and said with a shy smile: "I can only make a few cookies, nougat and so on.

Never tried before."

Nougat and almond nougat are different. In comparison, nougat with a simpler name is more difficult to make.

However, Matsuya didn't point it out. Saten Ruiko was not a professional pastry chef, so it was normal not to know.

"So Saten-san will make cranberry cookies and I will make almond nougat, is that okay?"

"Hmm...Senior Matsuye, aren't you afraid that what I cook is not delicious? I will not be responsible for ruining your reputation as the Dessert Grand Champion!"

After recovering from the shock of the dazzling array of tools and ingredients in the dessert shop's kitchen, Saten Ruiko returned to the familiar girl she was before, teasing Matsuya with a smile.

"Well... aren't I watching from the side? Don't worry, I will tell you if something is wrong."

Cranberry cookies are a fairly simple cookie to make and do not require a complicated process. Song Ye only needs to pay attention to a few small details.

"What about the formula, Matsuye-senpai? You should tell me the formula, right?"

Although Saten Ruiko can also make cookies, the recipe is the best summed up by a professional pastry chef.

"Well... 115g of low-gluten flour, 75g of butter, 60g of powdered sugar, 1 egg, and 35g of dried cranberries. These ingredients can make 15 cranberry cookies, which should be enough for the four of you."

After thinking for a while, Song Ye spit out a piece of data according to the ratio that was almost engraved in his brain, and then began to prepare the materials needed to make almond nougat.

First put the almonds into a baking pan, then put the baking pan into the oven, adjust the temperature to 100 degrees Celsius, and set the timer for 5 minutes.

Then mix the marshmallows and cream evenly, place it on the lower shelf of another oven, adjust the temperature to 150 degrees Celsius, and set the timer for five minutes.

While waiting, Matsuye looked at Saten Ruiko——

"Saten-san, wait a moment."

Songye took the low-gluten flour from Saten Ruiko's hand, picked up the flour sifter next to it, and explained:

"There is a big difference between sifting flour and not sifting it. After sifting, not only can small particles and other impurities in the flour be removed, but it can also make the flour more fluffy. When used in cranberry cookies, it can improve the taste of the cookies.

So much softer!”

While talking, Matsuye had already finished sifting the low-gluten flour and handed it to Saten Ruiko with a smile.

"Well...that's it."

At this time, Saten Ruiko was really like an open-minded and eager to learn pastry apprentice. She thoughtfully took the sifted low-gluten flour and poured it into the previously mixed ingredients such as butter and eggs.

The next step in making cranberry cookies was freezing and baking, and Songye stopped watching.

While the ingredients on my side were still baking, I started to prepare the ingredients needed for the remaining two desserts.

Chocolate angel cake...one of the ingredients, dark chocolate, needs to be grated into chocolate chips and set aside.

Low-gluten flour and cornstarch also need to be sifted... Well, you can wait until Saten-san is finished and let her do this, just in time for her to learn how to do it.

Thinking about the fastest and most time-saving preparation process, Song Ye took a piece of dark chocolate and started to use a grater to break it into pieces.

After the reserved 45g dark chocolate chips were prepared, there was a 'ding' sound from the oven.

Song Ye took out the marshmallows and cream, stirred them while they were hot, and then added milk powder, cocoa powder, and roasted almonds in sequence.

Then, pour the mixture into a mold covered with a layer of tin foil and smooth it out with a spatula.

In this way, the preparation of almond nougat is completed, and all that is left is freezing.

At this time, Saten Ruiko has also poured the ingredients into the mold.

"Okay, Saten-san. Put your grinding tools and mine in the refrigerator and freeze them for an hour. The refrigerator is over there——"

As Song Ye said this, he pointed to the corner on the right side of the kitchen.

"OK."

Saten Ruiko was very well-behaved and was not dissatisfied with Matsuye's order to her. She took two molds and put them in the freezer of the refrigerator. When she came back, she stared at the watch on Matsuye's wrist, as if she wanted to see it.

next time.

"What's wrong?" Song Ye noticed Saten Ruiko's gaze and asked.

"Um... I didn't bring my mobile phone with me, and it's not hygienic to hold it now. I want to check the time. Didn't it say it needs to be frozen for an hour?"

"Saten-kun... you are so stupid!" With a dumb smile, Matsuye turned to look at the kitchen scale for weighing. When it was not in use, the electronic screen showed the current time - 13 p.m.

Point 16 minutes.

"No! Isn't there time there? As for me..."

Matsuye raised his hand to let Saten Ruiko see clearly what his watch looked like.

It was a silver Cartier mechanical watch. The dial was very grand and the style was very high-end. Even if Saten Ruiko didn't look carefully, she could tell that this watch was definitely worth a lot of money.

However, the motionless hands add an air of age to this mechanical watch that still looks brand new.
