Chapter 114 Direct Admission
Ye Shuyi finished reading it quietly, and then read it from beginning to end several times.
Then she carefully folded the letter, put it in the drawer and locked it.
There was already a pile of letters inside, all neatly organized by date.
After Ye Shuyi sorted these out, she left the room.
Not many people responded to the charity cooking competition organized by Chen Nanfeng.
There are twenty award-winning places.
However, there are only ten prizes.
The prize money is not particularly large, with the first prize being 100,000 yuan.
Compared with the food competition, it's far behind.
In Ye Shuyi's shop, the only ones who are good at making pastries are Xie Yanfei and Jiao Yu.
They all participated with pleasure.
In fact, it doesn’t have to be a pastry, as long as it is delicious, healthy and easy to preserve.
To put it in modern terms, those bagged salt-baked chicken wings, konjac noodles, and pre-prepared meals are also within the reference range.
Delicious and easy to store.
However, health and hygiene still need to be strengthened.
The day of the competition arrived in a blink of an eye, and many people came.
Because some people come here not for bonuses and honors, but for the purpose of volunteering.
Everyone thinks that a drop of water is very small, but tens of millions of drops of water can form a river, a stream, and even an ocean.
Chen Nanfeng booked a hotel as the venue for the competition.
Rather than saying that it was booked, it would be more accurate to say that the hotel originally belonged to the Chen family.
The boss is free to do what he wants with it.
The guests attending this competition are in no way inferior to those at the food competition.
Xie Liuhua came, Shopkeeper Pan came, and various gourmets came as well.
As for the contestants, there are many familiar faces.
Without much talk, Chen Nanfeng, as the organizer, gave a brief speech explaining the purpose of the event, and then the competition began.
The pastry Ye Shuyi wants to make this time is flower cake.
Fresh flower cakes are most famous in Yunnan.
The raw materials are very simple: flour, sugar and water. Mix them together and knead them into a dough. That’s half the success. This is the outer dough.
Making the inner pastry is easy. Just mix corn oil and flour, and you're done. This sticky dough exudes the unique aroma of corn oil.
Wrap them in plastic wrap and let them sit for half an hour to make the dough more stable.
Then, use the pastry as the filling and the dough as the outer layer, wrap it up, and knead it into a round ball. Lying in the palm of your hand, it looks plump and beautiful. Also, wrap it with plastic wrap.
When Ye Shuyi makes rose filling, she either hammers the rose petals violently or grinds them in a stone container with a millstone. In short, the purpose is to crush the petals into pieces, making them shapeless and into a paste.
The rose filling is ready.
The dumplings wrapped in oil skin and pastry can be taken out and put to use now.
Put them on the chopping board and flatten them one by one with a rolling pin, just slices.
Put rose filling inside, wrap it and roll it into a ball.
If you like sweet food, you can add some sugar to the filling.
Without it, it will be more of the fragrance of the flowers, nothing else.
Knead it well and it will look like a bun.
Ye Shuyi used a brush to brush them with a layer of slightly transparent egg yolk liquid to make them more crispy.
Sprinkle some sesame seeds on them to make them more flavorful.
The appearance is also better looking and not monotonous.
These flower cakes can be cooked quickly by putting them in the microwave.
When placing the food, don't forget to apply a layer of oil on the bottom of the plate to prevent it from sticking to the bottom and making it difficult to take out.
If you master the time and temperature, the flower cakes will be baked just right, and will be very delicate and compact.
Ye Shuyi specially asked Miss Jiang Jinyue to design a sealed plastic wrapping paper.
Put the flower cake in and seal it to isolate the outside air.
Can be stored for a long time.
When the judges came over, they were also dazzled.
Many contestants make biscuits and various braised products.
It tastes good, but it’s too down-to-earth and unhealthy.
This flower cake is quite elegant.
Moreover, the packaging depicts a melancholy woman holding an umbrella, walking in an ancient alley.
It has a very classical Chinese charm.
If the food is to be shipped to other countries, ethnic elements are a plus.
Flower cakes are a Yunnan delicacy, and the packaging of this flower cake shows at first glance that it has a Chinese aesthetic.
All in all, it's a good fit.
This is also where Ye Shuyi’s little trick lies.
While everyone else was focused on making the food taste good, she was the only one who took the long-term view and considered national boundaries.
This is not a high score, it’s unacceptable!
Xie Yanfei made mung bean cake and Jiao Yu made durian mochi.
There are other contestants of various kinds, including one who makes milk tea.
This stuff won't taste right after three hours, let alone after a long journey.
Naturally passed.
In the end, Ye Shuyi lived up to everyone's expectations and won the championship.
According to the rules of the competition, she gave the secret recipe to Chen Nanfeng's company.
As for the prize money, she received it and donated it immediately.
Having won two championships in a row, it's no wonder that others are jealous.
When Ye Shuyi was standing on the podium, someone picked up an egg from the table and threw it at her.
Fortunately I escaped.
The man cursed, "It's just an ordinary flower cake, and you actually won a prize? You're the owner of Xiangjiang Kitchen. I've met Mr. Chen Nanfeng, the organizer of this competition, and he's been to Xiangjiang Kitchen many times. I don't know if it was for dinner or something else."
"That's right. I also saw Mr. Chen holding flowers every day, smiling. Who knows what their relationship is?"
"Could it be that Miss Ye seduced Master Chen Nanfeng? This is clearly a mismatch! They are not a good match."
"Exactly! Winning first place in this competition isn't even glorious. I don't know how much wind has flowed down my throat!"
"Haven't you all ever eaten Miss Ye's cooking? Ordinary ingredients look different in her hands! A flower cake can win an award, so what's the big deal if it happens to her?" There were sober people among the onlookers.
"Haha, I don't accept it."
"Is it possible that this is a competition set up by Young Master Chen specifically for Ye Shuyi, just to cheer her up?"
“No way…”
The discussion grew louder and louder, and more and more outrageous.
Ye Shuyi will not be affected by these things, but she is a little worried about Chen Nanfeng.
He has just become the president, so his reputation is still crucial.
If they said this, would it have any impact?
Surprisingly, Chen Nanfeng watched their discussion calmly. Far from showing any negative emotion, he actually felt a hint of... joy?
How is that possible? How can I be happy when someone says that?
She must be dazzled.
Chen Nanfeng's next words caught Ye Shuyi off guard again.
He actually admitted it directly.
"Everyone is right. I'm pursuing Miss Ye Shuyi. I've liked her for a long time, almost three months."
"In addition to the public welfare factor, I also want to organize this competition to increase her visibility and network."
"Any questions?"
