Chapter 15 first quarter

Reiko, who returned to the company, carried the dessert and said to Muto as if she had discovered some new world, "This is super delicious!" But Muto resisted when he saw the shape. The glass container contained something dark brown like chocolate, and a layer of cream, topped with bright red fruit soaked in a viscous black liquid that should also be chocolate. Although the dessert brought back by Reiko is much smaller than the average chocolate sundae, there are many desserts that are small but still delicious. Perhaps it should be said that although many desserts are small, they are not low in sweetness. learned from accumulated experience.There are many sweets in the world that "just because they are high in sweetness, they should be small."

Muto asked Reiko tremblingly. "What's in it?" "Let's have a taste! Listen to other people's explanations, why don't you eat and see for yourself—" "No, if it's as sweet as macarons, I'll be sweetened to death again." "Aren't you exaggerating too much?" Reiko smiled and handed the spoon and dessert to Muto. Muto reluctantly took the hand, hesitated for a moment, then touched the fruit with the tip of the spoon as if judging something, but then stopped. Lizi urged: "This product will become a competitor of 'Goldfinch'!"

"what?" "I think the concept is very similar, but the materials are obviously different. Compared with the 'white' emphasized by 'Goldfinch', this store is 'black'. It depends on the preferences of customers! It's really exciting!" When Muto heard what Reiko said, he had no reason not to try it. After all, it was Muto who suggested that "Goldfinch" launch French almond panna cotta. If you don't taste it yourself, you can't compare the difference. Muto dipped the spoon down and scooped up a mouthful from the bottom. The moment it was stuffed into the mouth, the sweetness and aroma of chocolate diffused elegantly, and then mixed with a strong combination of coffee bitterness, which surprised Muto.The taste of chocolate and coffee will not kill each other, but harmoniously create another realm of deliciousness.

It has a deep aroma and bitterness refined from coffee beans, as well as a sweetness that caters to mature adults. This is the first impression of this dessert. Moreover, Muto thought that this sundae had a smooth texture similar to mousse or pudding, but he didn't expect it to taste like cracker crumbs. It seems that a lot of thought has been spent on the change of texture. With every bite, there will be a vivid impression. It feels like soaking biscuits in chocolate-flavored coffee, or sitting in an open-air coffee seat blown by the breeze in the afternoon, reading fashion magazines while enjoying delicious food. ——In short, it is a dessert that gives people such an impression.

Reiko seemed to see through Muto's mind. "How so? Interesting, isn't it?" "This..." Muto had to admit. "It tastes like a fusion of chocolate pudding and coffee pudding. Moreover, it is pudding, but it tastes a bit chewy. It's incredible." "There is a dessert in Italy called 'Piemont hat pudding'," Lizi started the conversation enthusiastically. "It's cocoa pudding made by mixing macaron powder, so it's a big feature that it's pudding, but you can eat particles... This dessert is probably created by using this point."

"Which brand is this new?" "Felice Bianca, one of the shops invited to participate in the dessert carnival." "Oh." "This is a shop that specializes in Italian desserts, and this dessert was made by a male chef named Beiso, named 'Opera Freddo' (Opera Freddo), using French chocolate cake - also known as Opera Freddo La – an Italian-style dessert based on which, as the name suggests, is a dessert served chilled.” "How did you make it?" "Overlap chocolate and coffee-flavored mousse. The French obera cake is based on almond cake made of dark chocolate and coffee, but this dessert uses amaretti instead of almond cake."

"What's the meaning?" "The prototype of this dessert actually comes from macarons. French cuisine was developed when the daughter of the Italian Medici family married a French prince and nobleman and brought several Italian chefs to France. Of course, the way of dessert is also the same. So the basic skills of French cuisine come from Italian cuisine. Later, French cuisine showed a completely different style from Italian cuisine in a unique form.” "Yes!" "Whether it is almond cake or Italian almond cake, almond flour is used, and only the egg white is used, and the egg yolk is not used. However, the almond cake has a soft taste, while the Italian almond cake is relatively brittle, but after all, the materials used They are all the same, and the taste is also very similar, I think Chef Bei Suo noticed this common point... Isn't this idea interesting?"

Muto sighed.In terms of the cold and springy taste, this "Cold Oberla" is indeed very similar to the French almond panna cotta made by Xiaori. Not only that, but the distinctive taste is one of its selling points. Although Muto likes the simple and elegant French almond panna cotta, those who really like desserts will definitely prefer the "cold Ombara" that highlights the characteristics of chocolate and coffee.When two desserts are displayed side by side, will "Goldfinch" be reduced to a supporting role? "Troublesome!" Muto murmured worriedly. "Have you decided to launch this dessert? Does Chef Bei Xi have any other filings?"

Reiko opened her eyes in surprise. "Mr. Muto, is it possible that you want to ask Chef Kitano to give up this dessert? Can you speak?" "How can you open your mouth about this kind of thing..." "That's right! So I can only ask Ms. Morisawa of 'Goldfinch' to work harder. However, the French almond panna cotta flavored with coffee liqueur that Mr. Muto fancyed may be forced to be removed from the waiting list Eliminate it. Because the selling point of 'Cold Obella' is the coordinated taste of chocolate and coffee, it would not be good if the two products are too similar."

Muto sighed again.In this way, it seems that Morisawa Natsuori is getting more and more into a predicament. Reiko asked Muto: "Is there any question?" "It's okay. I was just thinking, wouldn't it be better to ask 'Goldfinch' to develop another dessert?" "Ask them to make French almond panna cotta, but Mr. Muto yourself!" "I didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to be killed halfway!" "That is to say, you think Miss Morisawa's work can't win this dessert, so you don't even want to give Luo a chance to compete?" "In terms of personal preference, I prefer the desserts made by Ms. Morisawa. Although they are not impressive enough and lack special features, the desserts she makes are easy to eat. This alone is worthy of praise. The problem is, when you encounter 'Cold Obella' is a gorgeous dessert that is sure to sell well and is sure to be very popular. I'm afraid Ms. Morisawa's efforts will be wasted... So, if we can change the type of dessert to avoid this kind of conflict, Isn't it better?"

"Do you think Miss Morisawa will accept your idea?" "What's the meaning?" "Anyway, give her another chance. If you make a new request now, it will definitely annoy Miss Morisawa. We are just the people who plan the event. As for which desserts will be popular, we will leave it to the professional chef to decide. We Stand still and observe again. If Miss Morisawa still can't compare with the 'Cold Obella', then make a new request. I think it's more appropriate to do so!" "Where does your confidence come from?" "Intuition! Intuition! As someone who loves sweets, I have a hunch this is going to be a good match."
