However, now, Doma buried some dessert, and three pairs of eyes were focused on Shirosaki Hana, which made her feel the pressure doubled. Even the pudding she was tasting didn't seem as delicious as usual.
Seeing that Shirasakihana seemed to have lost her appetite, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Hana, are you not feeling well?"
Normally, when Shirasaki Hana eats pudding, she is not so slow. She basically eats one bite after another and finishes the whole pudding in no time.
However, today the other party was tasting it slowly, taking small bites at a time, which made Tsuchima Mai a little suspicious.
Bai Sakihua hurriedly shook her head: "No, sister, I just want to taste it."
I have to say that Shirasaki Hana found a very good excuse. Doma Yui didn't notice it at all. This was Shirasaki Hana's excuse.
"I thought the summer limited flavors weren't to your liking!" said Doma.
Many foods in Japan are seasonal.
However, limited does not mean delicious. Many seasonal foods are often not as delicious as ordinary foods.
It’s like the limited edition cherry blossom products in spring. Although they look good, the taste is unsatisfactory.
Shirosakihana blinked, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help pursing her lips.
Well, she admitted that this seasonal pudding was not as delicious as the regular pudding.
But it’s not to the point of being undrinkable, otherwise I would have tasted it when I ate it before.
After looking at Doma Yui and the other two, Shirosaki Hana continued to taste the food, but was silently calculating the time in her heart.
A pudding, no matter how slowly you eat, will only take you about ten to twenty minutes at most.
The task that Yushan Kazuto gave her was to delay time as much as possible.
Shirasaki Hana couldn't help but take a breath. She needed to think of a suitable reason in the next ten minutes to continue delaying Sumi-Doma and the other two from going back.
……
"Ding Dong".
Outside the kitchen, the doorbell rang.
Yushan Heren, who had just prepared the fruit pieces, turned around and looked towards the door.
【Are you back so soon? 】
Hearing the sound of the doorbell, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. He asked Shirasaki Hana to delay Doma Umi and the other two as long as possible, so why did they come back so early?
After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren covered the plate of chopped fruit with a layer of plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator, and then walked towards the door.
Although the time of return was a little earlier than Yushan Kazuto expected, there was nothing he could do. Yushan Kazuto couldn't possibly lock Tsuchimura and the others out of the door, right?
Moreover, the key to the door was under the flowerpot at the entrance, which was also known to Doma and others.
Even if Yushan and others deliberately did not open the door for them, they could still use the key to enter by themselves.
When he reached the door, Yushan Heren couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that today's surprise operation had failed.
When he opened the door, a gentle smiling face appeared in front of Yushan Kazuto: "Kazuto-senpai, happy summer vacation."
"A-Asu Hina? Are you here so early?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that it wasn't Doma Mai and the others who came back.
"I'm relatively free today, so I came over early to see if there's anything I can do to help." Yuuki Asuna said with a smile.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. It turned out that Yuuki Asuna was still as sensible as before. However, was it appropriate to ask Yuuki Asuna to help with making the cake?
But after thinking about it, even if I didn't want the other person to help, he would definitely find out that I was making the cake if he was at home.
It's impossible for me to tell Asuna Yuuki to go out for a while and come back at noon. It would be strange if the other party didn't become suspicious!
Instead of hiding it and failing to achieve the desired effect, it would be better to let Yuuki Asuna directly participate, and you will also have an extra helper.
Yuuki Asuna's housekeeping skills are excellent, otherwise it would be difficult for her to adapt to living alone. With Yuuki Asuna's help, the preparation efficiency will definitely be greatly improved.
"It just so happens that I'm preparing some things in the kitchen, come and help me." Yushan Heren responded.
Yuuki Asuna smiled and nodded, then walked into the house and looked around: "Isn't Komari home?"
"She went out with Xiaohua and will be back in a while." Yushan Heren said.
"Is that so?" Yuuki Asuna nodded, walked into the kitchen, washed her hands, and waited for Yushan Kazuto to assign her work.
"Please help me whip the cream first." Yushan Heren said.
"Cream?" Asuna Yuuki blinked slightly. This kind of ingredient is not very common in cooking.
"Just put it in the refrigerator." Yushan Kazuto added.
When she opened the refrigerator, Asuna Yuuki saw several cake bases at a glance.
Although they are of different sizes, the shape of each cake base is perfect, which makes Yuuki Asuna blink slightly.
As a baking enthusiast, seeing such a cake base is like seeing a work of art.
It wasn't until the refrigerator sounded the alarm and reminded her to close the door that Yuuki Asuna came to her senses. She quickly took out the cream and closed the refrigerator door.
After bringing the cream to the whipping machine, Yuuki Asuna said, "Kazuto-senpai, whose birthday is today?"
"Guess what." Yushan Heren smiled.
Yuuki Asuna blinked slightly, but finally shook her head.
She only knew that today was definitely not Yushan Kazuto's birthday, nor could it be Doma Yui's or her own birthday. As for whose birthday it was, that was hard to say.
After all, she didn't know who would come to Yushan and his family today, or whose birthday it was, so naturally she had no idea where to start.
"By the way, Asuna." After looking at Yuuki Asuna, Yuyama Kazuto felt that it would be better to remind her.
"What's wrong, Kazuto-senpai?" Yuuki Asuna looked up and asked.
"When Komari and the others come back later, if we have already made the cake, remember to keep it a secret!" said Yushan Kazuto.
"Hmm? Okay." Asuna Yuuki keenly caught the word "they" in Kazuto Hayama's words.
Although Doma Yui and Shirasaki Hana can be called "they", Yuuki Asuna has a vague feeling that this "they" should be more than two people.
Chapter 2043 Cake Making
After walking out of the dessert shop, Doma Yui and the other two were about to walk towards Shinmachi Apartment, but Shirasaki Hana stood still.
The past ten minutes or so did not allow her to come up with a suitable reason to keep Tujian and the others.
But now, Shirosaki Hana still doesn't want to go back.
If I go back so early, then the preparation of the cake will definitely be discovered by Doma and the others.
If that happened, she wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned to her by Yushan Kazuto.
"Xiaohua, why don't you leave?" Looking at Shirasaki Hana standing on the side of the road, Doma Mai couldn't help but ask.
"Bury my sister, I don't want to go back yet." said Shirosaki Hana.
Although there was no reason, Doma Yui and the other two still came over.
"Do you want to walk around outside for a while?" asked Sanae Touma, her voice so gentle that even Mai Doma and Rikka Takanashi found it a little unbelievable.
Shirosakihua nodded without giving any reason.
Doma Mei and the other two looked at Shirosaki Hana and nodded.
"But you can't walk around for too long, we still have to go back before lunch," added Toumori Sanae.
Shirosaki Hana nodded. She hadn't planned to hang around for too long, and she had to reveal a surprise to Toumori Sanae during lunch!
"How about we go over there and take a look?" Domama pointed in another direction.
Shirosaki Hana responded. Anyway, her current task was just to delay Tsuchima and the other two.
Although there was no reason, Tsuchima Yui and the other two still accommodated Shirasaki Hana. Perhaps this was the advantage of being a child.
Not only that, the three of them also made some reasonable explanations for Shirasaki Hana in their hearts.
After looking at Shirosaki Hana, Toumori Sanae felt a little strange, but still expressed her understanding.
Sometimes when I go out in a bad mood, I won’t come back so soon. I always wander around for a while before going home.
Doma Mai has had similar experiences, but when she is in a bad mood and wants to go out, she usually goes directly to Akihabara to play video games.
As for Rikka Takanashi, she is even more familiar with the route, but the only difference is that Rikka Takanashi usually doesn't go home on her own initiative, and every time she is caught by Touka Takanashi directly.
……
In the kitchen, Kazuto Hayama and Asuna Yuuki were still busy.
The four cake bases have been completely dug out by Yushan and his men, and a top cover has been cut out. Several concentric rings have been hollowed out in the middle to inject jam and fruit pieces.
This processing method is actually time-consuming and labor-intensive. The simplest method is to directly layer the cake base, then brush jam on the middle layer and sprinkle it with chopped fruit.
Most jam cakes are made this way, it is simple and delicious.
If Yushan Kazuto only wanted to add a single flavor of jam, he would do so.
However, Yushan Heren wants to add four kinds of jams. If you simply layer them in a simple and rough way, you can taste four different flavors of jams in one bite.
The flavors of the four jams influence each other, and the final taste is not as surprising as a single-flavor jam.
Although richness is a very important indicator in terms of food taste.
But this is not the case when it comes to taste.
Imagine taking a bite and tasting sour, sweet, bitter and spicy at the same time. I believe most people would not like it.
Of course, the taste of the four jams mixed together isn't that terrible, but it won't be very delicious either.
Yushan Heren's approach is more subtle.
In the first bite, you taste applesauce, and in the next bite, you may taste kiwi sauce.
Every bite is a different surprise, and there is no problem of flavor blending.
Of course, if someone insisted on eating from top to bottom, or swallowing the whole cake in one bite, then Yushan Heren would be helpless.
This processing method is extremely cumbersome and requires very delicate movements. Even with the help of Asuna Yuuki, it is still relatively slow.
"Senior Kazuto, what is the function of this layer on top?"
Looking at the top cover carved out by Yushan Kazuto, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but ask.
"This top cover can prevent the chocolate sauce and jam from contaminating each other." Yushan Kazuto said.
Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but blink. She originally thought that she would pour chocolate sauce on it in the end, and this layer of covering didn't seem to be of much use, but she forgot that chocolate sauce could easily seep into the jam.
Yushan Kazuto will not waste the cut cake rings.
Some of it was eaten directly, what a cook who steals food.
The other part can be used to make cake slices, or refrigerated directly, which is great for breakfast tomorrow.
Seeing how serious Kazuto Yuyama was, Asuna Yuuki couldn't help but feel a little envious.
I don’t know if I will have the chance to ask Yushan Kazuto to prepare a cake for me on my birthday.
After pouring in jam and chopped fruits, putting on the top cover, and assembling all four layers, it is finally time to pour chocolate sauce and do the final icing.
The chocolate sauce had already been prepared. It was mixed by Yushan Kazuto himself, and the cocoa butter and cocoa powder used were both of the top quality.
Of course, Yushan Kazuto would not mix 100% pure chocolate, as that would be too bitter.
Although the aftertaste is endless, the bitterness at the beginning is
It will be able to persuade most people to quit.
Therefore, Yushan Kazuto still added some milk and honey to ensure that it tastes sweet and smooth without destroying the rich aroma of chocolate.
After brushing a layer of chocolate sauce all over the cake and spreading it evenly, Yushan Kazuto began to decorate the cake.
Up to this point, Yushan Kazuto had kept things relatively simple, just doing a little bit of painting.
After completion, add a little decoration and a beautiful four-layer cake is ready.
Looking at the cake in front of her, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes.
Maybe not as exquisite as the cakes from those top dessert shops, but in terms of deliciousness and the level of care put into them, they are just as good, or even slightly better.
Looking back, Yushan and others took out a small part of the ingredients in the refrigerator, pulled out several shelfs, and then barely put the cake in.
Fortunately, these ingredients will be used for lunch today, so there is no problem in taking them out.
"I'm going to prepare lunch, Asuna, would you like to take a rest?" asked Kazuto Yuyama.
