I am Lapland’s rat!

"Are you going to beat it repeatedly until it wants to work properly?!"

You still have to complain.

Wu Xian moved his position so that he could better see the cooking scene of the two wolves.

Tiramisu can also be regarded as the national dessert of Syracuse. Although the purest tiramisu is not found only in Syracuse, the tiramisu made by the Syracuse people must be the most authentic.

In countries other than Syracuse, many dessert shops have given new interpretations of tiramisu——

One of the most classic secondary creations is to use chocolate cake base or pressed cookie crumbs instead of finger cookies between the tiramisu cheese.

There are also secondary creations that serve the market - some pastry chefs add coagulants, such as gelatine sheets or jelly powder, to the cheese mixture.

This allows tiramisu to be freed from the constraints of the glass container and "stand up" like a cheesecake, which greatly facilitates the storage and sale of tiramisu.

Of course, the Syracusans did not accept this trick.

The orthodox tiramisu recognized by the Syracusans must only use pure mascarpone cheese, raw egg yolk, light cream, sugar and vanilla seeds in the cheese filling part, and the solid contents mixed in the middle must also be soaked Coffee lady finger biscuits.

Although the tiramisu made in this way does not look as good as the regular-shaped tiramisu cake, and you can only see the sandwich layers from the outside of the glass container, but when you dig it in with a spoon, the perfect taste and texture experience is enough. Keep anyone entertained.

——This is what Silla mentioned to Wu Xian seriously when he accidentally met Wu Xian at the headquarters.

Chapter 89 The Heartbeat of Texas!

Therefore, what Lapland and Texas used this time was the most classic tiramisu method among Syracuse’s traditional cooking techniques.

Although ready-made finger biscuits can be bought in any commercial street and supermarket, this time Lapland chose to make the finger biscuits used in tiramisu himself.

——The so-called finger biscuits are actually more like cakes than biscuits based on the ingredients.

When making finger biscuits, the butter commonly used in other biscuits is not added. The batter used before baking is similar to cake batter, which is a mixture of whipped meringue and egg yolk batter added with flour.

The biggest difference from cakes is probably that when baking finger biscuits, you use a piping bag to squeeze the batter directly onto the baking paper, while cakes need another mold.

After baking, the skin of finger biscuits is hard and the whole is very crispy, but the internal structure is very soft when you eat it.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that finger biscuits have become the best ingredient for making tiramisu with a soft taste.

Wu Xian watched as Lapland waved the manual electric mixer and successfully whipped the meringue into a slightly stiff aquiline shape.

At this time, Texas had stopped, and the egg yolk paste in the big bowl had been mixed evenly.

Coincidentally, the two of them turned their heads and looked at each other's results.

"Ah, Texas, you did a good job." Lapland smiled and turned sideways, getting closer, "The state of the egg yolk paste is exactly the same as what is written in the book."

The space on the operating table was only so wide, Texas stepped aside a little, and said helplessly and expressionlessly: "The egg whites you whipped are also very standard."

"Then let's mix them together." Lapland smiled, "Texas, have you made snacks before?"

"...When I was in Colombia, I sometimes made it. And the school had cooking classes." Seeing Lapland hand the whipped meringue to him, Texas had no choice but to answer while taking the big bowl. .

She suddenly regretted her whim. Now that she was making snacks with Lapland, wouldn't she be forced to chat with this guy for several hours?

Cellinina!Your beautiful afternoon was ruined by you!

Texas quickly noticed in his mind what topic Lapland would stir up next, and the next second this guess was perfectly verified.

Lapland lowered his head and turned the page of the cookbook spread out on the work table, then smiled and said: "Cooking class? This is a term I have never heard of. Are Colombian schools so free?"

"...It's okay. They seem to pay more attention to cultivating students' innovative thinking than instilling knowledge. ...That's what the adults say."

Texas lowered his head, poured the meringue into the egg yolk batter, and then used a spatula to stir from the bottom up.

The reason why we use stirring instead of stirring is because vigorous stirring can easily destroy the foam structure in the meringue, causing the air to escape, resulting in less than ideal looseness inside the final product——

Commonly known as defoaming.

"Ah, I haven't been to school - even if I went, it wasn't for school. These things sound a bit far away from me."

Listening to Lapland's voice in his ears, Texas sighed secretly, kept his expression expressionless, and flipped the white plastic spatula again.

——Ear?

Her movements suddenly stopped.

Texas turned his head and glanced, looking at the smiling face of Lapland who was so close, and finally couldn't help but move the corners of his eyes.

Okay, I know you're good-looking, but can you stop getting so close?

"Ah, I'm sorry." After looking at Texas for a moment, Lapland suddenly took a step back, smiled and apologized: "I just wanted to see how you operate."

Texas: "..."

Fine.

She continued to stir the batter, and watched as the egg yolk paste and meringue in the large bowl gradually blended into a light yellow color, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated at this moment.

She suddenly thought of a question.

Why did Lapland, who had never been in the kitchen, make tiramisu on a whim on his day off?

At this moment, Lapland smiled casually beside him and said: "Texas, do you know why tiramisu is called tiramisu, not...coffee wine finger biscuits sandwiched with cheese mousse?" ?”

Texas: "...What?"

Lapland then said to himself: "More than 100 years ago, Syracuse became independent from Letania. At that time, the Witch King of Letania had not yet ascended the throne, otherwise the process of breaking away from rule would not have been so smooth. .”

Texas suddenly couldn't figure out what Lapland wanted to say. Although he felt a little bad, he couldn't help but turned his head and looked at Lapland's expression with his peripheral vision.

So Lapland continued: "Despite this, at that time, several big families in Syracuse, including our Saluzzo, also broke out... war with the border dukes of Letania."

"At that time, people in Syracuse were panicked and the economy was in recession. Young people of appropriate age in many small gangs and groups had to be recruited by big families and go to the front line after being trained."

"The dessert tiramisu was also created at that time."

Lapland smiled and looked at Texas.

Texas had really never heard of this story. She stirred the batter, and after a moment of silence she replied: "...Under this situation, are the Syracusans still in the mood to eat desserts?"

"People at that time didn't think of creating a dessert." Lapland said easily. "Legend has it that a young man accepted the conscription and was about to go to the battlefield. His wife heard about it, and she Before setting off, the young man added all the biscuits and bread left at home to soft cheese mixed with light cream and made a snack."

The white-haired girl leaned back against the marble console, leaning back slightly with a smile on her face:

"On the day of departure, my wife gave this bowl of snacks to the young man. The young man tasted it with a spoon and found it extremely delicious. So he straightened the round hat on his head and asked his wife in surprise and curiosity: What snack is this?"

Texas suddenly turned his head and looked at Lapland.

"And the wife said—"

Lapland's eyes were filled with inexplicable meaning, and she spoke softly:

"…Tiramisu (Take me away)."

Texas: "..."

"——Texas, in Syracuse, tiramisu has been endowed with the meaning of love." Lapland's smile suddenly shrank a little, her body leaned forward slightly, her eyes were full of seriousness.

"do you know?"

Texas' body couldn't help but lean back slightly, because Lapland's handsome face was already close at hand.

Her heart began to beat loudly.

Chapter 90 Lapland laughs wildly!

——No, no, isn’t that right?

Cellinina, how did things get to this point?

Texas began to panic.

Looking into Lapland's eyes, which were only twenty centimeters away from his face, Texas found himself so helpless for the first time in his life.

——I can’t move my hands because my hands are still mixing the batter instinctively, and I can’t move my feet because my feet are numb.

This, this, is this a confession?Chelinina, you were confessed to by a girl?

Is this why Lapland made tiramisu?

No, think about it carefully, this is right!Only this reason can explain why Lapland, who usually doesn't cook at all, would enter the kitchen today!

But shouldn’t the confession be made when the making is finished and the tasting begins? After all, that’s what the novel says – no, no, Cellinina, what are you thinking!

Wu Xian, who had been squatting on the operating table, blinked and saw a faint pink color floating on Texas' cheeks that had never changed his expression. His eyes glanced to the side uneasily and panicked, obviously losing his composure.

But Lapland just kept a close distance from her, with a handsome shallow arc at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were warm and soft.

"...Puppet, you are so flirtatious."

Texas couldn't help but lean back again and distanced himself from Lapland, but still couldn't hold back anything.

She thought about it for a moment at this critical moment, and realized that Lapland's actions towards her were actually full of hints.

When they first met, they had an inexplicable fight over Xiao Yin.Although Lapland didn't have much communication with her at that time, thinking about it now, Lapland was actually very interested in her.

After shaking hands, the way he turned around and left seemed a bit shy.

Afterwards, it became more obvious that Lapland paid close attention to her affairs and often asked her questions.

After they moved in together, they even made no secret of it, chatting with her at every opportunity, and even casually said things like taking a shower together.

And now, even more carefully prepared such a confession plan——

Confession plan.

Texas suddenly woke up.

She suddenly remembered something.That is, Syracuse is actually a very strange place, and it is different from Colombian folk customs.

Could it be that in Lapland's view, she had actually made her affection very clear, but Chelinina had been pretending to be stupid so she didn't respond?

Inviting her to take a bath is also a very natural choice for Lapland?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Lapland has never said anything like "I am very interested in you"!

"..."

Looking at the pretty face in front of her that even she had to admit was delicate and beautiful, Texas couldn't help but swallowed.

It's time, Cellinina.

Since Lapland is so serious, you must also reply to her seriously.

No matter how inconspicuous the girl in front of you is in normal times, Chelinina, you must take everyone's feelings seriously.

Texas took a deep breath.

Before she spoke, she couldn't help but glance aside shyly. After all, this was her first time doing such a thing——

But when she spoke, her face had already turned back and she looked directly into Lapland's eyes.

"Lapland."

Lapland winked cutely: "Huh?"

Texas exhaled and observed Lapland's expression.Although she felt a little reluctant to give up, she still said seriously:

"I'm sorry, I think... falling in love is something that comes naturally, and I'm obviously not ready yet. You are a good Luper... but if possible, let's just stay friends for now."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly opened her eyes again, just in case Lapland didn't understand what she meant, and looked at Lapland seriously.

Then, she saw Lapland's eyebrows raised, his head tilted 15 degrees to the left, the corners of his mouth tightened, his eyes widened, revealing a look of confusion that even the blond Pelo could recognize at a glance. .

"?"

Texas blinked: "...?"

Lapland also blinked.

"Texas, I'm just telling you about the origin of tiramisu. What are you talking about?"

Texas: "...Huh?"

"You don't think I'm confessing to you, do you?" At this moment, Lapland seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of what Texas just said. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth rose crazily and he laughed:

"Texas, we are both girls. The atmosphere in Colombia is so open. Is it so free that same-sex love can be openly and openly allowed for girls to imagine?"

Texas stayed there, eyes wide, blinking.

Lapland did not stop speaking, but spread her hands and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, I thought you were thinking about staying there for so long! Texas, you don't know You must have read too many romance novels, why can this be associated with confession? I clearly didn’t say a single word related to ‘like’!”
