Participated in a love variety show and was forced to debut and rise! /You are a variety artist

After Qian Haokuang introduced himself, he took the lead in applauding.

Before Li Yichen and the others understood the situation, they also clapped and looked at the teaching kitchen curiously, finding it quite novel.

Qian Haokuang finished applauding and continued his introduction.

"As you can see, the theme of our dessert challenge today is macarons."

"At the same time, this is also the latest teaching project of our college, a 'one-day class' specially set up for ordinary people. Students who successfully pass the one-day study will receive the Level [-] Pastry Chef Completion Certificate issued by Qingsi Culinary Institute, which is also a pastry chef. Entry Certificate.”

"Please stand according to the name tag on the kitchen table in front. My teaching assistant will check first to make sure that none of you are wearing rings, bracelets or other jewelry."

"There are aprons and chef's hats on the kitchen counter. It should be noted that the rope of the apron cannot be tied in front, and the tip of the chef's hat must be facing forward."

“You can help each other tie aprons and arrange chef hats.”

The guests found their seats according to Qian Haokuang's instructions and began to help each other with blushes and heartbeats.

Li Yichen picked up the white apron in front of him and tied it skillfully, then put a chef's hat on his head, staring at the yellow and pink macarons displayed in front of the kitchen counter with bright eyes.

"That one should be edible."

Li Yichen tried hard to restrain his desire to eat them.

Zhou Hanying looked at the four groups of male guests around her who were actively helping the female guests tie their aprons. Then she looked at the apron in her hand and the indifferent Li Yichen, and her teeth itched with anger.

"cough……"

"cough……"

"cough!"

"Li Yichen, tie it up for me."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Li Yichen was focused on macarons and teaching chef Qian Haokuang at the moment. Today's temporary couple challenge was as if it was tailor-made for him. Even when he looked at Wang Gaoming in the corner, he found it pleasing to the eye. Quite a few.

Li Yichen absent-mindedly tied Zhou Hanying's apron quickly, then picked up the chef's hat and put it on her head. He couldn't wait to raise his hand to signal Qian Haokuang's teaching assistant to come over for inspection.

After a while, Qian Haokuang smiled when he saw that the five groups of guests were ready.

"Everyone likes macarons, right?"

"Yes!"

Li Yichen's voice was particularly loud and exciting.

Qian Haokuang noticed Li Yichen who looked like he had been injected with chicken blood, smiled, and lamented that young people's love is so beautiful.

"Just like the small plate of macarons in front of your table, this is what we are going to make today, fashionable fruit caramel macarons and strawberry macarons. You can choose one of the two jams later."

"After tasting the macarons you made today, I will choose No.1. At the same time, the couple who won No.1 today will be rewarded. The prize for No.1 is two group buffet meal coupons at Qingsi Hotel .”

"Wow, awesome."

The competition desire of the guests has been raised to a higher level. Isn't this prize the best excuse for a date?

"Great, I can take my dad and sisters to the Qingsi Hotel to have a good meal."

"We are No.1!"

Li Yichen stared at Zhou Hanying and said firmly, his eyes seemed to be burning with blazing fire, and his fighting spirit was high.

If it weren't for the exclusive BGM, Li Yichen might have transformed.

Zhou Hanying looked at Li Yichen, who suddenly became different, and felt his hot gaze. She felt a little uncomfortable and said in a pinch: "Come on~"

Qian Haokuang is very satisfied with the results he has created. Only by having a goal can he have a steady stream of motivation to support his studies.

"Generally speaking, the courses at Qingsi Culinary Arts Academy are taught by the teaching chef first, and then the students practice by themselves. The same is true for our course today."

"Macarons are a dessert that novice bakers love and hate, but as long as you follow me carefully, I believe you will successfully make a finished product. Are you ready?"

"Ready!" the guests responded in unison.

"Very well, let me introduce the materials we are going to use today."

"Almond flour should be dry and fine, powdered sugar, everyone should know this, also called frosting, egg whites and food coloring."

After Qian Haokuang introduced the materials, he began to introduce the steps of making macarons.

"First, let's make the batter for the shell. Mix almond flour and powdered sugar one to one and sift to make it finer. The resulting shell will be smoother. Then dig a well in the middle of the mixed powder and pour Add 35 grams of egg white and mix evenly with a spatula."

Qian Haokuang basically does whatever he says with his hands, and the movements are very pleasing to the eye.

"The next step is to make the meringue. Boil the sugar and water over medium heat to 118 degrees to form a syrup. While the syrup is cooking, we can start beating the egg whites. The egg whites should be about 118 grams. When you see the foam coming out, Pour in white sugar to adjust the concentration and make it hard, then slowly pour the [-]-degree syrup into the egg whites from the edge, and finally stir with a machine until it reaches a dry foaming state at room temperature."

Qian Haokuang waited for the mixing machine to stop and took out the whipped meringue to show to the guests.

"Did you see that it is almost in this glossy and soft state? If you can use a spatula to form a large sharp corner and shape it, it means it is successful."

"Amazing."

The guests watched Qian Haokuang's smooth demonstration and slowly fell into the charm of making desserts.

Qian Haokuang put his hand on the mixing cup to feel the temperature.

“After the temperature of the meringue drops to 50-60 degrees and becomes fluffy and three-dimensional, we can mix it into the previously prepared mixed powder, add a small amount of food coloring of the desired color, and then start to stir it evenly by hand, from the outside to the Inside, from the bottom up, keep stirring until it is of appropriate concentration and smooth and glossy. Do not over-stir or under-stir."

After Qian Haokuang finished mixing, he scooped up a spoonful of the macaron paste with a spatula, and the macaron paste on the spatula began to fall down at a constant speed.

"That's pretty much it. Is there any problem?"

"No."

Li Yichen looked at Qian Haokuang's smooth demonstration. It seemed very simple and he felt that he had learned everything.

It's just a matter of sifting and stirring, it's not difficult at all.

Seeing that no one asked questions, Qian Haokuang put aside the macaron paste he had made.

"Very good. Everyone seems to be very confident. Let's get started. My teaching assistants will be beside you and they will help you if needed."

Chapter 40 Macaron ([-])

Li Yichen solemnly washed his hands twice and carefully recalled Qian Haokuang's teaching process before discussing the assignment of tasks with Zhou Hanying beside him.

"How about we divide the work and work together, you make the syrup and I make the meringue?"

"No problem, the syrup needs to be cooked to 180 degrees, I know."

Zhou Hanying also wanted to get No. 1 once, but the group meal coupons were second. She mainly wanted to enter the secret cabin and take a look.

Li Yichen looked at Zhou Hanying worriedly and reminded: "It's 118 degrees."

"Oh, is that so?"

Zhou Hanying was skeptical about Li Yichen's words, but decided to believe him because she had secretly observed several times just now and Li Yichen did listen very seriously.

Li Yichen carefully measured [-] grams of egg whites, poured them into a mixing cup, picked up the mixing stick and started to beat the egg whites. At first, Li Yichen felt very relaxed. Gradually, the movements of his hands began to slow down unconsciously. The stirring stick, which seemed like nothing at all, felt as heavy as a stone.

"Beat the meringue a little faster, a little faster."

Qian Haokuang urged, probably because he saw that all five groups encountered this problem.

"I can!"

"Why are they all doing the same thing but doing it differently?"

Li Yichen cheered for himself, but he didn't understand why Qian Haokuang was so relaxed when he was beating the egg whites.

"I'll try it."

Zhou Hanying took the initiative to take the stirring rod from Li Yichen's hand and started the relay race.

"Then I mixed almond flour and powdered sugar."

Li Yichen felt that his greatest strength was that he was not pushy, so he naturally left the work of whipping to Zhou Hanying. However, he was not idle either. He began to measure the grams of almond flour and powdered sugar. After mixing, he added egg whites and started stirring again.

When Li Yichen finished his own work and took over Zhou Hanying's work again, the two of them cooperated in a tacit understanding.

Wu Shiming at the table next to her was partnered with Zhao Wenfeng this time. She looked towards Li Yichen from time to time as soon as she entered the door. When she saw Li Yichen helping Zhou Hanying tie her apron, her eyes widened a bit.

"Shiming...Shiming...Shiming?"

Zhao Wenfeng struggled to beat the egg whites. He felt that it was about to take shape, so he wanted to ask Wu Shiming for credit. He called Wu Shiming several times but got no response, so he looked over in confusion.

Wu Shiming looked back at Li Yichen and said casually: "Oh, are you done with it?"

"I think this is almost enough, right?"

Zhao Wenfeng showed the mixing cup to Wu Shiming like a treasure.

"Well, that's good."

Wu Shiming smiled faintly at Zhao Wenfeng.

After a few minutes, Qian Haokuang walked to each kitchen table and observed: "Everyone has done a good job. Let's start the next step."

Qian Haokuang returned to the front and started the teaching demonstration again.

"Put the completed macaron paste into the piping bag. Please pay attention to my hands here. Use your right hand to squeeze and use your left hand to find the direction. The most important thing is to squeeze on the tray regularly and squeeze at once. Finish, then turn it slightly and then disconnect it, do you see clearly? Now start practicing."

Li Yichen followed Qian Haokuang's example and put the macaron paste into the piping bag, and then started squeezing the macaron paste on the tray.

"This...isn't a circle?"

"It's not easy to break, isn't it?"

Many questions gradually arose in Li Yichen's mind, so he could only call the teaching assistant for help.

“Stay in the center when squeezing and don’t move.”

The teaching assistant patiently explained the key points and handed the decorating bag back to Li Yichen. As his experience increased, Li Yichen gradually found the feeling and squeezed about 28 small round balls into a tray.

After all the guests had completed this step, Qian Haokuang spoke.

"Now, everyone, pick up the tray and follow me. Put it in the oven and bake it at 135 degrees for about fourteen to fifteen minutes."

Qian Haokuang brought the guests to the preheated oven and put their trays in one by one.

“While the crust bakes, we’ll make the jam.”

Zhou Hanying chose strawberry jam. Li Yichen respected her opinion, but he also wanted to try fruit caramel jam, so he made another one himself. It was free time.

"It should be successful. Let's choose the best one for evaluation later. I can eat all the other defective ones."
