Chapter 168: Food Is the Most Important Thing for Bao
Do what you say. Now, Paisulemouzi is no longer the small shop where Afeng had to take on multiple roles. The shop has also hired several pastry chefs and shop assistants. It is completely fine for Afeng to leave for a while.
After explaining the precautions, Afeng smiled and took Luo Mu out of Paisulemouzi from the back door, heading to the small house she rented to practice making desserts.
Coincidentally, the house was near the office of the Padiya Alliance. After Luo Mu obtained Afeng's consent, he took Papa to taste it.
"Although the production of Baofen is some very basic operations, it tests the pastry chef's touch and proficiency. Fine proportions, appropriate mixing speed and precisely controlled oven temperature are indispensable."
When entering the teaching mode, Afeng's friendly smile disappears, and her words become more serious. This is the most suitable tone and expression she has found.
If you are too friendly, many new trainers will not take your suggestions seriously. If you are too serious, new trainers will be too nervous.
Luo Mu felt that Feng was very suitable to be a teacher.
Confident that his basic skills would not lose to anyone, Luo Mu tightened his apron and looked at Papa beside him.
Papa, who was supposed to come to join in the fun, listened very seriously at this time, and even took out a small notebook to write and draw, which made Luo Mu speechless.
If Papa could divide half of his enthusiasm and interest in cooking into Pokémon battles and cultivation, and add the big cake he drew for him as motivation, he should have no problem beating the Four Heavenly Kings, not to mention surpassing Neemo.
After a period of explanation, Feng began to personally demonstrate the production process of Pofen to Luo Mu and Papa.
The materials for making Pofen are basically not much different from ordinary desserts, which makes Luo Mu, who has a unique brain circuit, describe it in one sentence - Pofen is essentially baked paste.
Feng's movements are quite skillful. First, cut the prepared tree fruits into small pieces and put them aside, then prepare a milk pot, add an appropriate amount of water, pour in the prepared tree fruit particles, turn on the fire and start stirring slowly.
After the heated fruit was completely dissolved in the water, A Feng picked up flour, eggs, fresh milk, maple syrup and other materials, mixed them into a suitable paste according to the proportion, and slowly poured them into the pot in batches, while stirring them at a uniform speed with her deft wrist.
"When stirring, you must pay attention to the rhythm and speed of stirring, don't let the bottom be burnt or spilled, keep the temperature on low heat, and stir for about ten minutes."
Although it was a job that required concentration, A Feng was still able to notice the movements of the two temporary apprentices, Luo Mu and Papa, and make suggestions.
It can only be said that she is worthy of being a famous pastry chef in the Padiya area.
Time was up soon, A Feng quickly turned off the fire, and did not rush to pick up the milk pot. Instead, she reminded again: "Don't move it after turning off the fire. Wait until its temperature drops a little and the structure is stable, and the taste of the baked Baofen will be more wonderful."
These are undoubtedly the experience of A Feng who has tried and failed countless times, and Luo Mu gratefully remembers them in his heart.
After waiting for a while, A Feng picked up the milk pan and began to pour the paste into the mold with great skill without the help of any props. He was very precise in the amount of pouring, and there was no overflow of paste in the mold, and no extra dots were scattered.
After completing all this, it was time to bake in the oven. A Feng set the upper and lower fire to 170 degrees and the baking time to eleven minutes.
The oven finally finished baking with a ding-dong sound. A Feng put on heat-insulating gloves and took it out. A light and beautiful fragrance that made people intoxicated instantly spread in the kitchen.
Looking at the golden Baofen in front of him, Papa was surprised and said, "Is this one of the signature desserts of Paisule Mousse, the special maple sugar Baofen!?"
For a while, saliva was secreted crazily in Papa's mouth. He couldn't wait to pick up a Baofen, sniffed it lightly as if it were a treasure, and tasted it carefully.
Luo Mu was also a little curious about this signature dessert and picked it up to taste.
The moment you put it in your mouth, you first taste the light sweetness of maple syrup, which is different from honey and is more refreshing. Then the delicate and soft Pofen makes you addicted. You want to eat a second bite after taking a bite.
Under A Feng's smiling eyes, this small portion of baked Pofen was directly eaten up by Luo Mu and Papa.
As a pastry chef, she likes the satisfaction of this moment the most, which makes her unable to stop.
Luo Mu also left some Pofen for Xiao Xian Nai to taste. It also ate with shining eyes and looked at A Feng with admiration.
It's really delicious!
"This is the specific production details. Since you have memorized the process, this is the key to the kitchen. I can lend it to you temporarily for the next three days. I will come to help when I am free. Keep practicing!"
A Feng handed a bunch of keys to Luo Mu, took out a Poké Ball, and released the Pokémon that Luo Mu was very familiar with.
"Yime~"
A little bear Pokémon with crescent-shaped fur - Baby Bear.
"This kid has a very sensitive tongue and has his own unique understanding of taste. You can let him taste the food~"
Leaving this sentence, A Feng hurriedly left the kitchen.
Knowing that another gym challenger is coming to find her, Luo Mu looked at her back with admiration. If it were him, he would definitely be driven crazy by such a busy job.
Baby Bear seemed to know his duty very well. After Feng walked away, he got a stool that fit his height from somewhere, sat on it, raised his head, and hooked his fingers at Luo Mu and Papa: "Yi Mei, Yi Mei!" (If the food is not delicious, don't blame you, Brother Bear, for getting angry!)
Luo Mu & Papa: "."
Although he couldn't understand what Baby Bear was saying, his intuition told him that it was probably not a good thing.
Seeing Baby Bear sitting there and taking a nap like a big boss, Luo Mu thought for a moment and felt that it was the right time.
Calling Papa over, Luo Mu whispered: "Your greedy chinchilla hasn't eaten yet today, right?"
Papa nodded blankly.
"Then I'll take this opportunity to teach you this while making Pokémon," Luo Mu twisted his lips, looking like he was going to teach Pepper a unique martial art, "How to solve the problem of Pokémon's slackness in training? Let's not talk about other Pokémon with different personalities, but your Greedy Chinchilla is the easiest to deal with."
"I don't know if you have heard of a saying - Pokémon rely on food for their heaven. It means that food is the most important thing for most Pokémon, especially for gluttons like Greedy Chinchilla."
"If you want Greedy Chinchilla to be more active in training, the first choice is to tempt it with food. Through continuous training, an equation will be formed in its mind - training = food!"
