Chapter 256 Bread, a delicious delicacy
An Qiao slowly pulled out the bread, fearing that she would see a ball of charcoal, but she didn't expect that it would actually work.
Because the surface has been brushed with honey, it is golden and looks very beautiful.
"Wow."
"Wow!"
"Wow!!!"
After the first person uttered "Wow", everyone else started to wow unconsciously, their eyes full of excitement.
An Qiao even began to doubt herself because of everyone's "wow" sounds. She always felt like she was watching "The Cooking Master Boy".
Could it be that I have made golden fried rice? Or maybe my bread has a golden effect?
"My dear, this smells so good, let me have a bite." Li Qing was the first to speak today. She had been sitting there waiting for a long time, and it was no exaggeration to say that she was eagerly looking forward to it.
An Qiao smiled, looked at the bread, picked up a piece and pressed it tentatively. It seemed to be quite soft.
After tearing it open, although there is no honeycomb shape inside, fortunately there are still layers inside.
An Qiao picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewing it. Although it was not as soft as those made modernly, the taste did not smell as strong.
But the taste of the flour is better retained in the bread, which has a rustic taste and a chewier texture, while the taste of the gluten is quite strong.
Dip it in some acacia honey and it tastes even more fragrant. But compared to steamed buns, it has an extra layer of crispness and a strong aroma, as if it is about to explode in your mouth.
The others were waiting for Anqiao to taste the food, looking eagerly, as if Anqiao was eating something extraordinary.
"It smells so good! What's that strong aroma that fills the whole yard?" Tong Yiyi had just returned from closing the shop and saw that the shop was packed with people, all looking at the thing in the young lady's hand.
"It's said to be called bread, and it's some kind of delicacy." Someone responded.
Everyone was still looking at the bread in Anqiao's hand. Anqiao was quite satisfied with the bread and thought about kneading it for a little longer next time so that it might be more crispy and softer when baked.
If only there was butter...
Although you can replace the taste of butter with something else, the texture of the bread cannot be changed.
An Qiao came back to her senses at this time, and saw the people waiting anxiously. She was stunned for a moment, and thought, oh, everyone is still waiting for the bread.
An Qiao immediately called out, "Everyone come up quickly, I'll share some with you. This is my first time baking, so I'm not sure, and the stove isn't very big, so I guess everyone can only get one piece."
Everyone couldn't wait to come forward, even if it was just a piece, it would be good to be able to eat it.
"This smells so good, little lady, what is this? I have never tasted it before."
"I have some crunchy bits in here, they are delicious, they taste like peanuts, sesame seeds or something."
"Why does this smell like tangerine peel?"
"It smells good. I have it in this too."
Everyone stuffed it into their mouths carefully, some were reluctant to eat it up, and finished it quickly.
"You can try dipping it in honey, it tastes better." An Qiao said with a smile. The most fulfilling moment for a chef is when everyone likes the food she cooks.
“Acacia honey is also very fragrant.”
"When I brewed it, I never thought that the locust flowers could have such a fragrant taste."
Some people like to eat it with honey, while others like to eat it directly.
“The gluten taste is so strong when eaten directly.”
Even Zhao Hengzhi was surprised. "My dear, this is really delicious. I have never eaten such a strange cake before. It is different from the cakes I usually make."
Only after he had carefully eaten the entire piece of bread did Zhao Hengzhi ask, "Young lady, can you teach me how to make it?"
After thinking for a while, he added, "I swear, I will never cook this for anyone else except the Kyoto restaurant."
Zhao Hengzhi's eyes were burning and serious.
An Qiao easily discovered that he really loved making desserts, so much so that he wanted to learn how to make all the desserts in the world.
An Qiao nodded, "I can leave it to you. It's okay. It's very simple."
As for whether it is profitable or not, and whether to sell it somewhere else, An Qiao doesn't care, but she just thinks justice is in the hearts of the people.
If you really meet someone with impure intentions, you can't guard against them no matter how hard you try.
Zhao Hengzhi's eyes lit up again and again. After learning this, he could even add other flavors.
The piece he ate today was peanut and sesame, which didn't taste greasy, but he was also curious about what other flavors were like.
There were so many people that each person could only get one piece, and he was too embarrassed to ask for a second piece.
Koi held the bread and ate it bit by bit. Suddenly he remembered that a year ago he couldn't even get enough to eat a steamed bun. He felt the wound on his face suddenly hurt and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Jinli, what's wrong with you?" Tong Yiyi couldn't help but ask when she saw the wound on Jinli's face.
Seeing Koi's eyes full of tears, they were shocked. Everyone was busy eating the bread in their hands, except Tong Yiyi, who said, "Young lady, Koi has been bullied. Such delicious bread made him cry. How about I take him to see a doctor now?"
An Qiao didn't know for a moment whether Jinli was too sentimental or Tong Yi was too straightforward and deserved a beating.
Anyway, as soon as Tong Yiyi finished speaking, Jinli ran into the house with a red face.
"You really know how to bring up things that are not related to the topic. I finally coaxed the young lady, but you drove him away again." Qi Tao laughed, but did not take it to heart.
Tong Yiyi touched his head, picked up his bread, and went to chase the koi.
Everyone sat in the backyard and laughed for a while, then dinner began and everyone started to get busy again.
"My dear, what is this fragrance in this room?"
One diner probably had a very sensitive nose and kept looking into the yard while standing at the kitchen door.
"It's a new product. It hasn't been successfully made yet. Once it is successfully made, everyone will be able to enjoy it." An Qiao didn't say it directly. After all, just because this thing was successful once, it doesn't mean it will always be successful.
Moreover, the current production is so low that after working hard for half a night, there are only about twenty small breads.
If this were mass-produced, it would be hard to say what the price would be and how it would be sold.
The diners couldn't help but look forward to it. After all, every new product in Kyoto restaurants is always particularly popular, not to mention that the smell is unbearable.
Gu Qingyun appeared at the door as usual. An Qiao saw him coming and smiled, but then she saw that he was just standing at the door, so she couldn't help but become curious.
"Mr. Gu, aren't you going to eat today?"
"I'm not eating anymore. My grandma told me to go home and eat. But I wanted to buy some beef jerky from you. Do you have any snacks?" There was a smile in his eyes. An Qiao felt that it was different from usual, but she didn't know what was different.
So he put the bread into the small basket containing beef jerky. An Qiao didn't know what he was doing. He just thought that there was still a piece of bread, so he put it into his basket.
Everything seems just right.
