Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

Brownies.

Also known as chocolate brownie cake, the English name is brownie, which originated in the United States.

It is said that when an old black lady was making chocolate cake, she forgot to beat the butter and directly mixed the melted butter and chocolate together. The final product was extremely delicious!

As you can tell from the origin of brownie, it is an American-style cake.

Its characteristic is that it is simple and crude!

to be honest.

It is a heavy oil cake.

The ingredients and method are similar to the pound cake, the veteran of the heavy oil cake world, but its texture is as soft as a cookie.

So it’s best not to expect to reduce the calories of this cake by reducing a lot of oil and fat, because without the moisture of milk fat and cocoa butter, the whole cake will become dull!

…

Egg.

pink.

Oil.

sugar.

The closer the proportions of these four items are, the easier it is to make appropriate fine adjustments.

It is not as easy to fail as chiffon or sponge. After all, it even omits the step of beating butter.

Moist and dense.

It tastes not as light and fluffy as traditional cakes.

This taste comes from Erina's unique production process and raw material ratio.

"If you use a square mold with a larger area at the bottom, you can make the height of the batter lower, so that the baked effect will be more beautiful."

"Although the oil and sugar content of the batter is high, the heating area of ​​the batter is large and the thickness is very small."

"That's why we bake at a higher temperature, which not only shortens the baking time, but also maintains the moisture inside the cake, giving it a moist and soft texture."

"Finally, look at it from a cross-section."

"The inside is very moist, and it blends well with the chopped walnuts, etc., and the aroma is even more full."

"If it is left for a period of time, the oil may return like a pound cake, making it taste even softer!"

"Huh? "This..."

As he ate, Nakiri Souei looked a little shocked.

The deliciousness of the cake can only be known at this moment. There is a slight crisp sound when you bite it.

Immediately, it melted lightly in the mouth, and the smooth texture and chocolate aroma continued to flow between the teeth and lips, but no residue was left behind.

have to say.

The perfect brownie cake that can definitely stand up to any taste!

The curvaceous chocolate pattern on the surface complements the name of the cake. So unknowingly, when Nakiri Munue came back to his senses, the brownie cake in front of him was already empty.

…

"Finished?"

Nakiri Munue was stunned, feeling a little unbelievable.

"Uncle, when you taste our brownie cake, don't just swallow it. There is a mystery to the contents I added to the chocolate."

“Only by savoring it carefully will you discover another interesting world.”

At this time, Nakiri Erina looked at Nakiri Souei who looked a bit shocked and couldn't help but laugh lightly.

It was obvious that she was quite confident at this time.

"That's right."

Fei Shasha also nodded and said, "Although cake is a dessert, you will get tired of it if you eat too much."

“But I also added some more sour plums when making the cake base. Although the amount is small, you won’t notice it when you eat it, so it can neutralize the sweetness of the cake and make it feel like the more you eat, the more you will get hungrier. feeling.”

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, have you actually grown to this point?"

Hearing this, Nakiri Munue's eyes flashed, and then he just showed a faint smile.

Then he turned his head and looked at Alice, who always had her head lowered. He felt very pleased and a little more pampered in his heart.

…

"Judge."

"Isn't it time you tasted my fondant cake?"

On the side, Kobayashi Ringtong presented his masterpiece and then asked.

"Um!"

Nakiri Souei nodded.

Afterwards, he began to taste Kobayashi Gingtian’s fondant cake.

In fact, Kobayashi Gentian's fondant cake is made using American cake making methods, using the most natural ingredients such as fresh eggs, imported cream and other ingredients!

At the same time, healthy fresh fruits will even be added on top of the cake, such as:

Dried fruits and vegetables pickled with imported brandy!

Just put it into your mouth and take a bite, you just feel it is very sweet, that kind of solid, delicate and rich texture, with a variety of flavors, mellow filling, whether it is sweet fruity or rich chocolate flavor.

Such a variety of flavors is complex but also nuanced.

While it is sweet, it also feels very fragrant, which makes people sigh:

Fondant cake!

It really feels good no matter how you eat it!

…

Generally speaking.

Due to the special materials and craftsmanship of fondant cakes, they are still limited to some relatively high-end consumer markets, so most people are really disgusted with fondant cakes.

However, with the improvement of people's lives and tastes, there is a diversified demand for cake products.

More and more people will become interested in fondant art cakes.

At this time, Nakiri Munue couldn't help but move the tip of his nose, and suddenly he felt a sweet fragrance, curling up and hitting his nostrils.

He began to close his eyes and inhale deeply greedily, until the refreshing sweet fragrance seemed to stain his lungs, making him feel unable to extricate himself.

"It's interesting!"

After saying this, Nakiri Munue opened his eyes, filled with admiration and excitement.

He looked carefully at the fondant cake in front of him again, and then flipped it gently with a small fork. Then, he continued to cut a small piece of fondant cake and tasted it carefully.

The aftertaste of the first bite has not dissipated yet.

What follows is the second bite of the taste that instantly spreads in the mouth. It is fragrant and sweet in the mouth, and has a unique flavor!

Especially those little gold and silver sweet pearl candies exude an intoxicating fruity fragrance every moment.

The strawberries added to the cake are carved very delicately. With just one bite, the cream filling in the cake will make a "swish" sound, and then slowly melt!

…

Fondant cake also originated in the United States and was a product of the early 20th century.

Due to its gorgeous appearance and rich taste, it quickly became popular all over the world. Nowadays, fondant cake has become a star in the dessert world, and it can be seen in weddings, birthdays and other celebrations.

So, why is fondant cake so special?

First of all, from the appearance point of view, it can really be described as "stunning".

The surface of the fondant cake is covered with a thick layer of fondant, which can be shaped into various shapes and patterns, from cartoon characters to flowers and plants, and even to imitate famous paintings and sculptures.

Moreover, fondant is soft and delicate, making it easy to create various details.

Except appearance.

The taste of fondant cake is also a highlight.

The interior usually consists of sponge cake, cream and icing.

The sponge cake has a light and soft texture. The denseness of the cream and the sweetness of the frosting complement each other, making the whole cake rich and diverse in texture.

Of course, the process of making fondant cake is also very interesting.

You need to prepare various materials, including fondant, icing, cream, etc., and then follow certain steps, including cake making, fondant shaping and coloring, etc.

Every step requires careful operation!

And I have to say that Kobayashi Gingtian’s fondant cake is extremely “sweet”.

As a result, Nakiri Munuei immediately showed an admiring look and commented: "Not bad, he is worthy of being the second among the ten elites of this year. His strength really surprised me!\

,"…

Soon, under the gaze of everyone.

Nakiri Munuei finally finished all of Kobayashi Ritsou's fondant cake.

And at this moment, he felt that the world around him seemed to be separated by an invisible film, leaving only his own thoughts wandering in the vast space. ,

Um!

in mind.

Pictures and ideas passed by like shooting stars.

He stared into the endless darkness, trying to find that little bit of light that would guide him forward.

Unconsciously, Nakiri Munue frowned and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Each rhythm was accompanied by the birth and death of a thought.

Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at Erina and the others: "I declare that Erina, Alice, and Haisako, all three of you have successfully passed this assessment!"

…

"ah?"

When Nito Feisako heard this, he felt incredible.

What's the meaning?

Did we pass the exam?

If you put it this way, this means that the three of us defeated the second seat of the current top ten, Ringtong Kobayashi?

No!

It’s impossible, right?

This kind of thing shouldn't be that simple!

"Really won?"

When Alice Nakiri heard this sentence, her head was buzzing, and she felt a little confused for a moment, and she didn't react for a long time!

"Uncle, you..."

Erina was also stunned.

"Erina, you have really changed a lot over the years!"

Nakiri Munue smiled knowingly and said, "In this cooking duel with the top ten, I can see your growth, and I feel a little relieved after all."

"Just work hard. I believe that one day in the future, you will be able to bring Totsuki Academy into a new era!"

…

In this exam, Kobayashi Rgentan is a loser!

However, she didn't care because she didn't really care about winning or losing, nor did she care about her reputation.

What's more, Nakiri Thistle didn't want Erina to lose in this exam at all, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered himself to rush from Totsuki Academy to the Hokkaido area to be responsible for sniping Erina and others. .

Obviously, everything is already doomed!

On the other hand, in another examination room, the three of them, Tadokoro Megumi, Mito Yumei, and Hojo Miyoko, did not have such good luck.

Their opponent is Akane Kubo Momo, the fourth member of the Ten Elites!

Different from cakes, in this examination room, the cooking theme of the duel between the two sides is desserts.

right!

This is the cuisine Akanekubo Momo is best at.

Therefore, in this exam, it is extremely advantageous for her, but it is also a disadvantage for Tadokoro Megumi, Mito Yumei, and Hojo Miyoko.

Then Akekubo Momo didn't want to let them go, and the dish she made was a very rare rainbow jelly dessert.

As the name suggests.

This dessert dish looks as beautiful as a rainbow!

…

Rainbow jelly, on the ingredients used.

There are seven ingredients with different colors: black cherries, cherries, limes, lemons, oranges, pineapples, and strawberries.

The production of Akakubo peach jelly is even more complicated. It is completely solidified by the gelatin of gelatin, and different molds are used to produce finished products with different styles and shapes!

It is then made through jelly liquid preparation, molding, refrigeration and other processing steps.

In the end, this dessert dish was formed.

At this time, the judge on the stage had a dull look on her face. She looked at the rainbow-like rainbow jelly, her bright eyes filled with disbelief!

Then she started tasting it.

"Well, that's awesome!"

"It tastes a bit like steamed eggs."

"The texture of jelly is more elastic. When eating it in your mouth, you have to use your teeth to open it gently."

"And when your teeth touch the jelly, you can expect a piece of jelly to break into two halves while gently applying force. This feeling is really great."

In the end, after the reviewer let out an exclamation, he directly announced the result of the exam:

Akane Kubo Momo, great victory.

The three girls, Megumi Tadokoro, Yumei Mito, and Miyoko Hojo, were completely defeated!

At this point, Tadokoro Hui and others suffered an unprecedented blow when it came to the third examination of the promotion examination.

And the fate waiting for them is:

Drop out of school!

…

Almost at the same time, there was another examination room.

Using chopsticks to pick up the fish fillet that can penetrate the light, I unexpectedly found that after being refracted by the light, it glowed with a colorful and oily luster.

Bright!

It's really bright!

After putting it on the plate, you can even clearly see the pattern on the bottom of the plate through the fish meat. It is really:

Red skin and white skin, light enough to blow up, as thin as cicada wings, two by two compared!

It is said that Japanese food is a delicacy "eaten with the eyes", and the exquisite presentation certainly plays a major role, but when a piece of Siyingshi's sashimi is brought to the table, even if you don't use chopsticks to taste it, you will be enchanted by the gorgeousness. The colors and beautiful shapes are amazing and shocking.

If food can also be a work of art, then Si Yingshi's sashimi dish is perfect.

have a bite.

Either stunning, refreshing, elegant or exquisite.

The judge could feel the strong Japanese style on the spot.

That kind of deliciousness cannot be covered up by strong seasonings, but comes from the natural flavor of the ingredients themselves. It always has a pure and deep taste that makes people intoxicated.

…

"I declare that Si Yingshi wins this cooking showdown!"

"I accept it, first graders."

At this time, Si Yingshi took a deep breath, and then he smiled towards Chuangzhen opposite.

"well!"

"As expected, I lost again!"

After learning that the competition was over, Yukihira Soma could only shrug helplessly and sigh.

As for Takemi and Kurokiba Ryo standing next to him, they were already paralyzed from exhaustion. At this time, they no longer had the high spirits they had during the autumn selection, but only fear and despair!
