Is there something wrong with making food a beast?

Chapter 34 Daisy Badge
Outside the kitchen, in the living room.

Song Hui and Su Zhi were quietly waiting for Qin Lang to finish cooking.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the living room gradually became awkward.

Su Zhi kept clenching her little hands and then loosening them, as if she was worried about Qin Lang who was working hard in the kitchen.

Her gaze wandered aimlessly around the living room, but she always avoided where Song Hui was sitting.

But Song Hui looked at her daughter several times, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

After a long time, it turned into a faint sigh.

The moment she found her daughter missing yesterday, it was like the sky had fallen for her.

Fortunately, when she was at her most distraught, her daughter was found by the boy named Qin Lang in the kitchen, and she did not encounter any danger.

She thought that the matter would stop here, and if she coaxed her daughter well, there would be no more problems.

However, the impact of running away from home this time did not end as she thought. Instead, when she got busy again this morning, it turned into her daughter's crying and neglect, leaving her wondering what to do.

As an imperial chef who is good at desserts, Song Hui has enough ability to make delicious desserts.

In the past, when my daughter was unhappy, a piece of dessert could make her happy for a long time.

This time, however, the dessert didn't seem to work so well.

Perhaps as Qin Lang said, it was all because he didn't have much time to be with his daughter, which made her always alone.

But she is a food recommender, has her own responsibilities, and has a huge daisy garden to take care of.

How can these be left behind at will?

Song Hui rubbed the center of her brows. She, who had shown a gentle but tough posture outside, finally showed a bit of powerlessness and depression in front of her daughter.

Maybe in terms of being a mother, I really don't count as successful.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps came from the kitchen door that she raised her head again and looked at Qin Lang who was walking with an exquisite snack plate.

Along with Qin Lang's footsteps, there was also a strong fragrance that Song Hui had never smelled before.

The scent lifted her spirits, and temporarily suppressed her previous thoughts.

As a food recommender, her professionalism allowed her to judge a lot from the scent in an instant.

The aroma of date paste, the special aroma of lard.

It turns out that he needs lard suet. Is lard used instead of butter to make desserts?
And that distinctive smell... fried?

Desserts made by frying?

For a moment, she looked forward to Qin Lang's answer sheet.

The next moment, as Qin Lang placed the dessert plate in front of the mother and daughter, Song Hui saw the whole picture of the dessert.

Her eyes widened unconsciously.

There are countless layers of petals, which are pink on the outside and white on the inside, which is as intoxicating as a flower bud blooming. In the center of the petals, the dark red date paste is still emitting a trace of heat at this moment, exuding a strong date fragrance.

The green leaf-shaped snack plate specially selected by Qin Lang makes the delicate color of the lotus crisp more vividly highlighted.

Just by seeing the hue and smelling the fragrance, Song Hui can roughly judge that this dessert is not bad.

Such a dessert is made by such a young imperial chef? !

If she didn't mention it, she would even think it was the new creation of a well-known pastry master just by looking at the appearance.

"Wow!"

Su Zhi's cry of surprise made Song Hui recover from the shock.

She looked at her daughter who couldn't wait to carefully pick up a flower to taste, and then at the young man standing aside, her face was a little more complicated.

Because she helped her find her daughter back yesterday, she was grateful to this young man named Qin Lang.

So after learning that the other party came to visit the food recommender to get the badge, Song Hui had some concerns in her heart.

Cooking dishes that can make Su Zhi happy, this test is to reduce the difficulty for Qin Lang, and it is also a chance to ease the relationship between mother and daughter.

Su Zhi is still young, although she is also picky about desserts under her own influence, she is not as strict as herself.

And Song Hui could tell that Su Zhi liked Qin Lang very much.

In this way, as long as Qin Lang's desserts are not bad, it is almost inevitable that Su Zhi will be happy.

Qin Lang passed, Su Zhi was happy, and the relationship between mother and daughter also had a chance to ease, killing three birds with one stone.

However, at this moment, Qin Lang's cooking skills were somewhat beyond her expectations.

Elegantly and carefully picking up a piece of lotus puff pastry, Song Hui bit the outermost puff pastry petals with small bites.

The slender meringue becomes crispy during the frying process, and as it is chewed, there is a very subtle "click" sound between the lips and teeth.

The layered and unique taste of the puff pastry does not require too much taste embellishment, and the crispy fragrance is enough to make it a delicacy worthy of Song Hui's amazement.

Just the meringue on the outside is so amazing, what about the jujube paste filling in the center of the flower?
Song Hui carefully took a bite of the brown-red jujube paste inside, and she couldn't help showing surprise on her face.

The jujube paste exposed at the opening of the petals is full of fragrance under the activation of hot oil, and at the same time it is a little more oily.

The date paste inside has never been in direct contact with the hot oil, but it has come into contact with the lard that quickly escapes between the puff pastry during the frying process.

The aroma of lard and the unique sweetness of jujube paste are mixed together during this process.

One mouthful of jujube paste, two flavors.

And these two flavors blend with each other with chewing, and they are so just right.

Only the outer layer is slightly oily, and only the inner layer is slightly dry.

A mix of the two, just right.

After slowly tasting a piece of lotus cake, Song Hui looked at Qin Lang a little differently.

"What's the name of this dessert?" She asked softly.

"It's called lotus cake." Qin Lang replied.

"Lotus crisp..." Song Hui nodded slightly, looking at the lotus blossoms that looked like they were blooming on a dessert plate, no matter the color or smell, she couldn't fault it, "This name is very good."

"Zhizhi, do you think this dessert can pass the test?"

"Huh?" Su Zhi had just finished eating the second piece, and at this moment put down the hand reaching for the third lotus flower cake, looked at Qin Lang, nodded heavily after a moment, and smiled on his face, "Yes!"

"Since Zhizhi thinks you can do it, then congratulations, you have passed the test." Song Hui stood up and walked to a room, quickly took out a badge that shone with metallic luster under the light, and handed it to Qin Lang, "This is a daisy badge."

"Thank you!" Qin Lang took the badge and looked it over.

It was a badge made of copper, with the same outline and size as a fish scale badge, but the front was based on green, just like the lawn in a garden dotted with blossoming daisies.

A golden ribbon bisects the front of the medallion diagonally, with a large daisy on the lower right with each petal finely carved.

At the bottom, there are ribbon embellishments and the words "Dongxia City Daisy" engraved on the ribbon.

This is the exclusive badge belonging to Song Hui, the food recommender, the Daisy badge! ——
