On the third day of this mission, under the influence of Brother Sheng Kuang.
A long queue had formed at a small stall on Zining Street.
The boss is demonstrating his amazing skill of making layered pancakes in the carriage.
The woman first poured a spoonful of yellow batter into a frying pan on her left.
Rotate the batter around the side of the pot once, pour out the excess batter, and place it on the stove to wait.
Add a spoonful of green batter to another skillet, swirl it around, and bake it on the oven as well.
Once the batter is poured into the pot on the right, the batter on the left will have set and is ready to be taken out of the pot.
So Qin Yi demonstrated her skill of cooking layered skins in two pans on the spot, one on the left and one on the right.
"Great skills! This boss doesn't look very old, but he works in a very orderly manner, which gives people a sense of reassurance, doesn't it?"
"Moreover, she keeps the work surface very clean when she works. If there is any batter dripped on the table, she will wipe it off immediately. I feel very safe eating her food."
"Yes, yes, yes! I often see that when street vendors get busy, their working conditions are appalling. I wouldn't dare eat there..."
"An excellent chef not only makes delicious food, but watching her work is also a pleasure. Look at her spreading cream, first she pipes a circle on the mille-feuille, then she presses it down with that spatula, the turntable spins around and it becomes perfectly smooth, and then she lifts the spatula up and gathers it up! The whole set of movements is so smooth and graceful, it's so cool!"
Qin Yi was busy all night. Because the goods sold out so quickly, she made two more crepe cakes.
...
The same situation occurred on Thursday.
The beauty salon owner who bought the thousand-layer cake last night came to place her order very early last night.
They took away four pistachio mille-feuille and four tiramisu mille-feuille as soon as they arrived.
Huang Shanshan said that her VIP sisters all loved Qin Yi's desserts and specially asked her to buy more to take home.
The stock sold out quickly after setting up the stall, so customers lined up again to watch Qin Yi perform her double-pan cooking skills.
...
In the first four days of the mission, a total of 440 crepes were completed.
There was very little workload on the last day.
After eating desserts for four consecutive days, Qin Yi was already feeling a bit tired of them.
She wanted to make some salty or spicy food.
When it comes to savory desserts, the first one that comes to mind is taro paste with pork floss.
However, this material is very solid.
If you use traditional lasagna sheets, they will inevitably be uneven between the layers because they are too soft.
So Qin Yi changed the recipe to tiger skin cake.
Tiger-skin cake is a nostalgic dessert.
It is called tiger-striped cake because of its pattern resembling the stripes on a tiger.
This cake can only be made with egg yolks. The principle is that the egg yolks are whipped at high speed until they expand in volume, and then deformed after being baked at high temperature in the oven, creating tiger stripe patterns.
While baking the tiger-skin cake, Qin Yi also prepared a lot of Lipu taro.
Cut the taro into evenly sized pieces, and place a large bowl of batter made from water-ground glutinous rice flour under the taro.
Steam them all in one pot until cooked.
Once the tiger skin is baked, mash the steamed taro into a smooth paste.
Knead the glutinous rice mochi into a smooth mochi ball.
Whisk another bowl of rich, creamy animal cream, add milk and sweet cream to the taro paste, and a touch of purple sweet potato and vegetable powder for color.
The reason why taro cakes bought outside don't taste good is mostly because the taro paste is too dry and tasteless.
Taro paste without milk is not sweet; it only becomes sweet when cream is added.
Then assemble the prepared materials.
A layer of tiger-skin cake is placed at the bottom, and then a layer of taro cream is spread on top.
The second layer of tiger-skin cake is placed on top, followed by a layer of white mochi rolled into thin sheets.
The third layer of tiger-skin cake is then placed on top, followed by a layer of pork floss, and then a layer of sweet salad dressing is squeezed onto the surface of the pork floss.
The fourth layer of tiger-skin cake completely covers it.
Then cut them into small square pieces.
This layered taro paste, pork floss, and mochi mille-feuille is now ready.
Today, as usual, the system brought her to the Zi Ning Night Market.
Some regular customers who had made purchases over the past two days were already waiting in front of the stall early in the morning.
Qin Yi's forty servings of tiger-skin pork floss mochi mille-feuille were sold out in less than half an hour.
The lucky customers sat in front of the stall, showing off their purchases.
"Sister, look at me, I grab a big piece and stuff it into my mouth, take a bite, won't this mille-crepe cake stretch and go cheesy?"
A girl held the thick tiger-skin cake in both hands and took a big bite.
The snow-white mochi drew a smiley line in the air.
Cream and salad dressing from the mille-feuille cake got stuck to her lips from being squeezed out.
The girl even licked the cream off her lips.
"It's so delicious! It was worth queuing up so early. The sweet taro cream mixed with the salty and sweet pork floss, the chewy mochi, and the chewy and soft tiger-skin cake is so diverse. I feel like I've eaten the United Nations!"
"Haha, your description is so apt! The outer layer of this tiger-skin cake is crispy and chewy, but the inside is soft and fluffy. When mixed with all these miscellaneous ingredients, it's sweet and salty with the chewiness of mochi, just like a delicious little monster."
Those in line heard the diners at the seats looking on with rapt, delicious expressions, and they were all anxious: Hurry up and let it be my turn!
But instead of the pork floss mille-feuille, I received a piece of advice from the boss.
"Today's tiger skin mille-feuille is sold out. Next, I'll be selling houttuynia cordata mille-feuille. Customers who don't like houttuynia cordata, please look away!"
Qin Yi picked up a megaphone and shouted to the crowd queuing behind her.
She repeated three times, "We're selling houttuynia cordata crepes now! Customers who don't like houttuynia cordata, please look away!"
"Huh? Isn't this a dessert shop? How come they're suddenly selling houttuynia cordata? That's such a big difference!"
"I don't eat houttuynia cordata! Run, run!"
"I've only ever had cold houttuynia cordata salad. I really can't imagine what it would taste like if it were made into a layered dish. Would it even be delicious?"
"The name sounds like some kind of bizarre dish. Is the owner just trying to make a fool of us now that he's made enough money?"
Qin Yi seemed to know the customer's doubts and continued speaking through the megaphone.
"Today's houttuynia cordata crepe is made to order. You will all be able to see how it's made. There will be a tasting after it's done, so customers in line can try it before deciding whether to buy it."
