Chapter 008 Cooking is an Art

"Well...that's it!"

Saten Ruiko sighed and didn't ask any more about the story behind Matsuya's watch.

Everyone has their own secrets, and inquiring too deeply is not what a schoolgirl who has just met for a day should do. Saten Ruiko still knows this common sense.

Matsuya obviously had no intention of immediately turning on the storytelling mode, and smiled and said to Saten Ruiko:

"Then let's start making the chocolate angel cake and honey chiffon cake. Saten-san will help me prepare the ingredients, and I will teach you how to make them while making them."

"Oh well!!"

When Saten Ruiko heard that she could finally learn how to make desserts, she excitedly clenched her fists and made two gestures, then looked at Matsuya expectantly.

"Ah!"

Infected by Saten Ruiko's emotions, Matsuya smiled helplessly, then her face straightened, and she burst out with the aura of a Dessert Grand Champion. She confidently and simply commanded Saten Ruiko:

"Four egg whites, 75g of fine sugar, 1.25ml of lemon juice, 0.625ml of salt, 32g of low-gluten flour, 12g of cornstarch, mix and sift the low-gluten flour and cornstarch and set aside... Hmm, Saten-san, can you beat egg whites?

?”

"I know a little bit, but I'm not particularly skilled." Saten Ruiko was a little embarrassed and said with a forced smile.

"Well, that's okay. You prepare the materials I just mentioned first, and then do what I say later."

While talking, Matsuye was also preparing ingredients for another dessert.

Skillfully pour the beaten eggs into an oil-free and water-free mixing bowl, and then stir the egg liquid evenly with almost textbook-standard movements, which are so fast that they are a bit exaggerated.

Saten Ruiko was separating egg whites at this time. She caught a glimpse of Matsuye's movements from the corner of her eye, and her eyes moved over unconsciously. Although it was just an action of stirring egg liquid, for some reason, Saten Ruiko saw a dancing-like movement in it.

artistry.

After that, Song Ye quickly weighed the low-gluten flour and sifted it, and then weighed the sugar and baking powder in turn. Saten Ruiko didn't know how much Song Ye weighed, because the function of the kitchen scale is no longer for weighing.

, but just to confirm whether the material Matsuye took was exactly the weight he needed.

It was taken away almost as soon as it was placed on the kitchen scale, and Saten Ruiko was dazzled by the speed without even needing to make any adjustments.

"Okay, so awesome!"

"kindness?"

Matsuya was so immersed in the joy of cooking that he didn't notice Saten Ruiko looking at him. It wasn't until he heard an exclamation from beside him that he noticed Saten Ruiko stopping to watch his operation.

Matsuya didn't pay much attention to Saten Ruiko's behavior.

He loves sweets, and has been working hard to learn how to make more delicious desserts because of his interest. He was even lucky enough to win the championship in the Academy City Dessert Awards a while ago. Naturally, he will not feel uncomfortable just because someone is watching.

He turned to Saten Ruiko with a humble smile and continued to concentrate on his work.

Use a measuring cup to measure 20ml of honey, pour one-third of it into the egg liquid, do the same with the weighed white sugar, pour one-third into the egg liquid, and then heat the egg liquid before whipping.

Various ingredients are whipped in different ways, such as the whipping process of butter and fresh cream.

The beating of eggs is divided into beating whole eggs and beating egg whites.

First of all, the whole eggs need to be heated, but they need to be heated over water instead of directly heated, which will only cook the eggs.

For beating egg whites, there is no need to heat the egg whites at other times, except in winter when you need to put water around 40 degrees Celsius under the mixing bowl.

While the mixing bowl was heating, Matsuya turned to Saten Ruiko and explained:

"To make honey chiffon cake, when beating the eggs, the sugar and honey should be added to the egg liquid in three times. The same is true for your chocolate angel cake. When beating the egg whites, the sugar should be added in three times."

"Okay, I remember it, Senior Matsuye."

Saten Ruiko nodded wildly, just like a motivated primary school student.

"Yeah." It felt like it was almost heated up, so Matsuya started to send it off, while not forgetting to teach Saten Ruiko.

"In addition, when beating eggs or egg whites for each dessert, the degree of whipping is different. For example, the honey chiffon cake I am making requires beating the egg liquid to the point of hard foam. And the chocolate angel you prepared over there

For cakes, the egg whites need to be whipped to a wet foamy state.”

"Um? Senior Matsuye, what are hard foaming and wet foaming?"

Saten Ruiko was a little confused when Matsuye mentioned the technical terms in cooking. She tilted her head and asked while continuing to weigh the ingredients Matsuye just mentioned.

"Um... I'm sorry! I forgot again that Saten-san has not received professional guidance." Matsuya smiled awkwardly and continued to say to Saten Ruiko: "You should know that the egg liquid will foam when it is beaten, right?

"

"I know." Saten Ruiko nodded.

"To put it simply, beat until when you lift the egg beater and the foam will drip down the egg beater, it is in a wet foaming state. Continue to beat. If you lift the egg beater, the foam will not drip down.

It is called hard foaming, also called dry foaming."

"Sure enough, Songye-senpai is so awesome! I want to learn cooking so that I can...um! That..."

After listening to Matsuye's explanation, Saten Ruiko's eyes flashed with strange light, and she was eager to say something as if she had seen something interesting.

But he suddenly swallowed it back in the middle of his words, hesitating and not knowing whether to continue speaking.

"Want to learn cooking from me in the future?" Matsuye saw Saten Ruiko's thoughts and asked with interest.

"Yes! But, is it okay? Senior Matsuye?" Seeing that her mind had been read through, Saten Ruiko stopped being coy and stared into Matsuye's eyes expectantly.

"Well..." Meeting Saten Ruiko's expectant gaze, Matsuya deliberately prolonged his tone and looked like he was seriously considering the pros and cons.

Saten Ruiko had completely stopped her movements at this moment, and only stared at Matsuya with all her heart, nervously waiting for his final decision.

"Pfft! Of course!" Amused by Saten Ruiko's nervous look like an arrow on the bow, Matsuya couldn't help but sneer, "I like sweets, and naturally I hope more people like them. If Saten-san can

I will also be very happy if I make desserts that everyone loves."

"Huh..." Saten Ruiko breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after Matsuye made a joke, the atmosphere between the two suddenly relaxed a lot. Unlike before, Saten Ruiko was still a little unable to let go because she was asking for Matsuye.

After completely letting go, Saten Ruiko stopped being polite to Matsuye, pretended to be angry, and said angrily to Matsuye:
Chapter completed!
