The key to making the date paste was to peel off the skin of the dates. Even if only a little bit of the skin was mixed into the date paste, it would greatly affect the tender, sweet and smooth texture of the date paste.
At this time, if the little girl who often called Yuan Zhou Boss Liu saw him peeling the skin of the dates like that, she would definitely not change her way of addressing him. It was simply too amazing to describe.
Yuan Zhou held the knife in his right hand and pointed the tip of the knife at the dates while he held the dates that had been boiled to a ripe state in his left hand. With the small head facing upwards, he turned his left hand slightly. Along the tip of the knife, the skin of the dates peeled off bit by bit. It was as attractive as the clothes of a beauty peeling off along the smooth skin.
After the hard skin was peeled off, only the intact flesh was left. When he put it into the bowl, Yuan Zhou used the tip of the knife to push the stone out of the bowl without hurting any of the date paste.
After the intact date paste was taken out, he mashed it and added some cane sugar before he started to boil it.
"System, I think I should add honey at this time so that the texture and taste can be improved to a higher level." Yuan Zhou said while boiling the date paste with a small fire.
The system displayed, "Host, you can comprehend it by yourself."
"You are mistaken. What I mean is that I need honey." Yuan Zhou ridiculed expressionlessly.
What a joke! Yuan Zhou also wanted to buy it by himself, but the system felt that if the ingredients outside weren't carefully processed, the texture and material wouldn't meet the requirements of the Master Chef.
After Yuan Zhou finished his words, the system kept silent for quite a while, so long that Yuan Zhou's date paste had been boiled.
The system displayed, "Congratulations to host for the improvement of your culinary skills. A special reward is hereby awarded."
[Special Reward] Royal Jelly of Rock Bee (Available to be received)
"It looks pretty good." Looking at the reward in front of him, Yuan Zhou didn't receive it immediately.
He looked at the finished date paste, which had a bright reddish-brown color and a natural fragrance.
"Cane sugar is also not bad. I'll use honey next time." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
Out of the seventh sense of a man, Yuan Zhou felt it was a little weird for the system to issue the reward at this time. In order to avoid affecting his mood of cooking delicacies, he decided to postpone receiving it.
Every time he didn't get the reward from completing a task, it was basically a scam.
After the stuffing was done, Yuan Zhou prepared to wrap the pastry. The purpose of wrapping the pastry was naturally to be fast. The whole pastry could only stay in his hand for less than two seconds. The pastry made in such a short time naturally had no other taste, leaving only the purest fragrance of glutinous rice and jujube.
The second thing that Yuan Zhou prepared was the rose pastry. Such a name was quite romantic. In recent decades, rose had always been related to love. Its fragrance was fragrant and its color could be gorgeous or pure. Basically, it could capture most women.
The rose pastries were naturally made by extracting the color of the rose and using it to dye the glutinous rice flour red. This way, the rose pastries would be fragrant from the inside out.
After a sound of "Zhi Ya", Yuan Zhou opened a cabinet and took out a whole fresh rose from it.
The moment the cupboard was opened, the fragrance of roses assailed his nostrils, but it wasn't stimulating at all. It was very fragrant and sweet, and it was refreshing.
"It's indeed fresh." Yuan Zhou picked up a rose and shook it slightly. The dew inside spilled out. With Yuan Zhou's nose, he naturally smelled the fragrance of the rose.
The system displayed, "Turk Rose is one of the edible roses. This flower is the national flower of Bulgaria. It has double petals and forms corymbs with single petals or half petals. The pedicel and calyx tube are densely covered with glandular hairs. The fragrance is very strong and it has a very high value."
"Wild roses are basically immune to pests. This is the law of nature. The system uses edible Turkic roses."
"I know you're good, so I always use the best." Yuan Zhou complained as he washed the petals. However, his voice was muffled by the mask, so he couldn't hear it clearly.
Rose jam was the simplest to make. It only needed sugar and roses. Therefore, Yuan Zhou made rose jam first. Most of the time, people were used to leaving it for two months before eating. However, Yuan Zhou liked fresh rose jam. It had a bright color and a strong fragrance.
By wrapping it like that, it was like wrapping a whole rose garden.
In one and a half hours, according to Yuan Zhou's speed, he only made 25 five-color pastries, five of each kind. Then, he put them in the fresh-keeping cabinet provided by the system.
"Hua La." Yuan Zhou pulled the door open. This time, most of the customers were girls. The first ten customers were basically all girls, including Boss Tong.
"Good evening, Boss Yuan. Did you make rose pancakes?" The first one was naturally Manman from the cake shop. She couldn't wait to ask.
"No." With a nod, Yuan Zhou answered Manman's greeting, but denied her question.
"How is that possible? We all smelled the fragrance of roses. Although there were other fragrances later, such as dates, the fragrance of roses is definitely there." While following Yuan Zhou into the restaurant, Manman said affirmatively.
"Boss Yuan, what delicacies did you make? The fragrance was so fragrant that even I couldn't help smelling it." Boss Tong also asked behind him.
"Pastries, a new product. 25 in total." Yuan Zhou stood back to his seat and then answered.
"It turns out to be a cold snack. Boss Yuan, I want a rose flavor." Manman insisted that there were roses.
"The taste is random. For now, there are five flavors." Yuan Zhou said again.
"Every time you say that, Boss Yuan, I feel that you definitely can't find a girlfriend." Manman gnashed her teeth and said.
"No..." Just when Yuan Zhou prepared to answer that, he was interrupted by Manman.
"You can cook, right? But you can't find a girlfriend either. You have a low EQ." Manman's interruption told Yuan Zhou a fact, namely, his charm didn't charm Manman.
"Order your dishes, please." Yuan Zhou decided to get down to business. It was more interesting to choke Wuhai.
"One pastry." Manman looked at the large crowd behind her and found girls accounted for most of them. Therefore, she chose the pastry decisively.
"It's 56 RMB in total. Thank you." Yuan Zhou reported the price.
"Here you are. It's just right." Manman handed the money to him. Yuan Zhou took out a plate and received it. Then, he poured the money into the drawer without using his hands.
Money was the dirtiest thing, but it was also loved by people. Countless people worked themselves to death for it, including Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou carried out a serving of pastries randomly. Coincidentally, it was the rose pastries that Manman had been expecting.
"Your rose pastries." Yuan Zhou set down the dish gently and started to order dishes for others behind him again.
Without a waitress, Yuan Zhou's way of ordering dishes went back to the past. He asked for the dishes first and then carried them out.
"It's so beautiful." Manman started to drool while looking at the rose pastries. However, she still restrained herself and took out her phone to take a picture of the pastries from all directions. Only after that did she pick up a transparent spoon that looked like a crystal and started to eat.
The pastries were beautiful rose red. They had just been taken out of the preservation cabinet with a trace of cool air and white smoke coming out of it. The transparent and translucent skin was wrapped with the rose jam that was clearly visible inside.
The whole size was only as big as half of a girl's fist. It was served in a light brown plate with a fresh leaf on it. With a closer look, it turned out to be a rose leaf.
