Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 182
Just as Lin Qing was saying "disgusting," the steaming temperature got a bit high, and the custard stuffing started to release oil.
So, in everyone’s eyes, the dark yellow sticky lump in the plate began to spill golden oil...
Chen Muxue quickly asked Xiaohu to lower the heat: "I knew it, luckily I saved most of the egg yolk outside, just need to stir it evenly later."
Lin Qing held his forehead, slightly too embarrassed to watch: "So this is mooncake filling?"
Cen Lizhui saw his expression and secretly chuckled, but he quickly curbed his slightly schadenfreude feelings and said seriously: "You can’t cook, what do you know, don’t interfere with others cooking."
Hearing the word "shit," Lin Qing got even more imaginative and coughed lightly: "Although I can’t cook, I consider myself well-versed in the culinary arts. I’ve seen countless pastry chefs make mooncakes, and I’ve never seen anything like this..."
Lin Qing deliberately emphasized the word "pastry."
In this place where culinary skills weren’t particularly advanced, chefs who understood both pastry and savory dishes were rare.
Although he knew Chen Muxue was outstanding in savory dishes, mooncakes clearly belonged to the pastry chefs, and it was quite a complex item not usually made. He couldn’t believe that someone as young as Chen Muxue, who also had to focus on cultivation, could make this.
Chen Muxue mixed the steamed custard and remaining egg yolks evenly, molded it into a lump, and seeing it wouldn’t fall apart, nodded satisfactorily and placed it back into the urn fitted again with the Ice Spirit Stone.
"Young Master Lin is so doubtful of my culinary skills, it’s truly hurtful!" Chen Muxue swiftly began preparing the pastry, casually replying.
Lin Qing’s heart skipped a beat, he forgot about that, evidently Chen girl was very confident about her culinary skills, hearing the denial from someone she admired about her cooking must be quite upsetting!
See, she didn’t even dare to look up at him, clearly feeling hurt!
Lin Qing cleared his throat, looked around, not seeing Huo Lian, so he decided to clarify their relationship right now.
"Miss Chen..."
"Clang clang clang clang!" Chen Muxue vigorously stirred the butter, added sugar, stirred again, added egg liquid, stirred again, added the coconut milk that Cen Lizhui had freshly made, stirred again!
Many chopsticks hit the sides of the bowl in overlapping sounds, leaving no gaps, Chen Muxue didn’t know what she was thinking, her expression of gritting teeth while stirring was somewhat ferocious.
Lin Qing sighed, Miss Chen must have seen through his intentions, so she chose to escape reality using this method; why did he feel a bit guilty? But there’s nothing he could do, he already had Shi’er in his heart, he wasn’t someone who would toy with others’ emotions!
Chen Muxue was vigorously stirring, also paying constant attention to its appearance. She couldn’t whip the butter, or else the pattern wouldn’t be clear upon baking. A dish must have the complete set of color, aroma, and taste, and a dessert primarily emphasizes color, which not only signifies color but also shape and appearance.
If a particularly exquisite and beautiful mooncake that you know what it tastes like, and a particularly ordinary-looking mooncake which you don’t know how it tastes are placed together, which would you choose?
Or if you open an exquisite gift box only to find ordinary or even ugly-looking contents inside, how would you feel?
Can’t whip, but must stir evenly, Chen Muxue’s expression was somewhat ferocious to control this.
Cen Lizhui’s gaze suddenly moved back and forth between Lin Qing and Chen Muxue, he frowned.
