31 Chapter 31 Special Offer (Part 2)

After lunch, Liu Huaxing took the two of them to the bubble tea shop opposite their school.

"Oh, this kid is really here." The chubby lady boss teased after seeing Liu Huaxing. In fact, she can see that although the lady boss is not bad at all, after all, who is not stingy in business?

The business in the store is so normal now, mainly because in summer vacation, only the students in the third grade are here, and then there are not many people who stay at school to eat. Generally, most of the restaurants near the school are closed at this time.

It is for this reason that Qin Yulu and Yang Xiaoxiao simply agreed to buy Liu Huaxing’s bento, which is delicious and hygienic. During this critical period, few restaurants around the school are still open.

"A cup of lemon seven, these two flavors of milk tea are the same two cups." Liu Huaxing said, putting ten yuan on the counter, "I don't need you to make it, I will do it myself."

"Okay." The lady boss responded with a smile, and said to the little girl at the front desk, "Xiao Xu, you let him come, I want to see what this kid can make. You can make a cup of milk tea. Mystery?"

Liu Huaxing didn't say much, and took out a few sealed plastic bags from his pocket, which contained some powder and colorful green leaves.Seeing this, the lady boss frowned suddenly: "What are you all about?"

"Magic material." Liu Huaxing smiled triumphantly.Of course, to be honest, these are just some spices.Cinnamon, basil, mint, fennel, rosemary, etc., these are the spices commonly used in French cuisine. They are basically not used in China, and they are not very easy to buy in this era. They are not available in ordinary stores. .

Liu Huaxing also bought it at a large supermarket when he was free last Sunday and used it for some future dishes.But this time can also come in handy.

People taste a kind of food. Most of the time, they rely on the nose instead of the mouth. Some scientists have done tests. When the sense of smell is blocked, people basically cannot tell what the food they are tasting is, but can only taste it. Simple ups and downs, which is why spices occupy such a high position in French cuisine.

Liu Huaxing is not bragging about the use of spices, he is simply a magician of spices.

Because you can read files...

If he put too much, he went back to the school to reduce the weight, and combined the spices in various ways, and slowly he explored the combination and use of these spices.

Liu Huaxing came to the counter at the back. The young girl who was working gave him a simple teaching of the mixing ratio of various milk teas. Liu Huaxing remembered roughly, and then washed her hands and started to work.

"I'm looking forward to it, what kind of milk tea will I bring out?" Qin Yulu said to herself with a smile on her chin.

"It looks interesting." Yang Xiaoxiao also pursed her lips and said with a smile, "This guy can always make things very interesting."

Liu Huaxing first made two drinks according to the formula in the milk tea shop, and six drinks were placed on the table.

The next thing was different. He took out some powder from the plastic bag and added it to the milk tea and drinks and stirred it. The powder in each cup was different.After mixing well, he put the lid on the milk tea cup on the capping machine, then put the three cups on the counter and pushed them to the lady boss: "Come on, I invite you to drink."

For the other three cups, Liu Huaxing put them in front of Yang Xiaoxiao and Qin Yulu: "You two taste these three cups."

"Hey, can a milk tea make flowers?" The proprietress sneered, then plugged in the straw and took a sip of the first cup of pearl milk tea. The first sip made her solidify. Liu Huaxing also knew the reason: because the taste is true It's obviously different.

Milk tea basically tastes similar to coffee, but it is a mixture of milk and tea, so the taste is not so soft, there will be a hint of astringency of tea in it, and the usual instant milk tea powder is mostly inferior. Milk powder, so its milk flavor is also very weak. The overall impression is that it is sparse and bland, and the milk flavor and tea flavor are very ordinary.

And Liu Huaxing added a little cinnamon powder and rosemary to the first cup of milk tea, and added anise and cinnamon to the second cup of milk tea.Cinnamon itself has a special fragrance. When added in a proper amount, the smell can add the fragrance and richness of milk, so it is often used in desserts with cheese and milk to increase the flavor of cooking.

As for fennel and rosemary, these two spices are used to alleviate the slight astringency of tea. In addition, the most important seasoning is actually...salt.

In French cuisine, we are very particular about the level of taste, combining the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, but not blindly combining them, but through different spices and adjusting their weights, so that different flavors can be superimposed to form a higher level .One of the more common usage is to add a small amount of salt to sweet cheese.

In this way, the saltiness eases the sweetness and the sweetness increases the saltiness. This combination of tastes is a common technique in French cuisine.

And Liu Huaxing used a similar method to improve the taste of milk tea.One way to drink tequila is to lick some salt first, then hold a slice of lemon before drinking, which can bring a richer sense of layering, the same principle.

For Liu Huaxing, this is still a relatively inferior technique. It just uses spices to cover up some of the negative flavors in this inferior milk tea powder, and then uses fragrance and a little salty taste to make the flavor level slightly richer.

The taste is actually equivalent to high-end milk tea with a little unique fragrance, nothing more.After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he can only do this with only the things on hand.

As for that cup of lemon qi, he just used mint to increase the cooling sensation and fragrance of lemon qi.But the details determine success or failure. It is through the accumulation of these details bit by bit that a cup of milk tea becomes a completely different drink from the original milk tea.

"This is really amazing." The lady boss couldn't help being curious, "Why is there such a big difference just by adding some powder? Obviously only a little powder is added..."

"Exclusive secret recipe, no secret." Liu Huaxing put the bag away, and Yang Xiaoxiao behind him took a sip of milk tea and said with interest: "Huh? The taste of the tea inside is gone, it feels a bit like chocolate. Milk, but not as greasy as chocolate milk, and the unique taste in it is really indescribable, and it keeps on aftertaste in the mouth."

"Well, it's a bit like the cheese my dad brought back from abroad, but it has a special bitter taste." Qin Yulu nodded in agreement.

"How about it, lady boss?" Liu Huaxing asked with a smile, "Do you want two more limited-time special offers?"

The chubby lady boss took a look at him, and after a while asked, "What is the price of this thing?"

"Basically, the cost is a dime expensive." Liu Huaxing disagrees. Although these spices are not cheap, the amount of milk tea added is too small, so the extra cost can be ignored.

"I asked you to eat here at noon to blow the air conditioner for nothing, so you come to work for nothing?" the lady boss asked tentatively.

"That's right." Liu Huaxing nodded, "but we only work for nothing when we come to eat."

The lady boss sneered, and she was silent for a while before she replied: "Or, I'll pay you, and you can come and work?"
