I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

the next morning.

The production team was finally no longer interrupted by last-minute phone calls.

As soon as the director got into the car, he put his phone on silent and even showed it to everyone.

"Today, there are no police stations, no temporary route changes, and no unexpected missions."

"Our job experience today is—a dessert baking workshop."

The car was silent for a second.

The next second, Chen Doudou seemed to be lit up.

"Dessert?"

"Is it edible?"

Lin Jia was too lazy to stop him anymore, and just nodded helplessly.

"Of course you can eat desserts."

Chen Doudou immediately sat up straight, her little face serious as if she were attending some important meeting.

"Then I will be very serious today."

Zhao Lei also perked up.

"Dear viewers!"

"Today I finally had a truly relaxing, warm, healing, and edible professional experience!"

Bai Sisi glanced at him.

"You said you felt relaxed yesterday too."

Zhao Lei immediately lowered his voice.

"I won't raise any flags randomly today."

Shen Ling'er sat next to Yang Mi, holding a small water cup in her arms, and glanced up at Zhao Lei.

"The fact that you know you can't just say 'relaxed' shows that your fall yesterday wasn't in vain."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The car immediately erupted in laughter.

The live chat was already buzzing with activity early on.

"Hahaha, Zhao Lei is getting more and more cautious with his training."

"Dessert Workshop! This episode features DouDou!"

"Could Teacher Ling'er even spot the problem with the cake?"

"Don't underestimate desserts; it seems she can see details that others can't."

"Today should be a bit easier, right? Let's not work on any more cases, my heart can't take it."

Looking at the comments on the screen, the director finally smiled with a hint of relief.

The dessert baking workshop is located on a very pretty little street.

The glass display case is filled with various cakes, breads, cream puffs and macarons.

As soon as you enter, the air is filled with the aroma of butter, cream, sugar, and freshly baked bread.

Zhao Mengmeng's eyes lit up immediately.

"It smells so good!"

Zhou Xiaoyu whispered, "It's like a shop from a fairy tale."

Chen Doudou stood at the door and took a deep breath.

"This place has great potential."

Lin Jia: "..."

Chen Hao laughed so hard his shoulders shook.

Shen Ling'er did not rush to the shop window immediately.

She stood at the door and looked around.

Look at the control panel.

Check the oven.

Look at the refrigerated display case.

Look at the flour bags and egg baskets on the table.

Then she nodded.

"It's quite clean here."

The director immediately looked at the assistant director.

The assistant director has already opened the memo.

[The dessert workshop: The environment is clean, which has earned Shen Ling'er's initial approval.]

Upon seeing this, Zhao Lei couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

"Assistant director, you really are like an on-site quality inspector now."

The assistant director said earnestly, "If Teacher Ling'er approves of something, we won't make any mistakes in the later arrangements."

Shen Ling'er glanced at the assistant director.

"That statement is correct."

The assistant director straightened his back in an instant.

Zhao Lei's eyes widened.

"Wait, assistant director, you're getting certified now too?"

Bai Sisi laughed and said, "The competition within the production team is getting fiercer and fiercer."

They were greeted by a young pastry chef surnamed Xia.

Chef Xia was wearing a white chef's uniform and had a gentle smile.

"Welcome to our bakery."

"Today we will experience three activities."

"First, make small cookies."

Second, squeeze out cream puffs.

Third, decorate a small cake.

Chen Doudou's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she listened.

"Is everything edible in the end?"

Master Xia nodded with a smile.

"It's edible, but you have to wait until it's cooked."

Chen Doudou's expression instantly turned serious.

"Then I can wait."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

You'll be a little more patient than usual today.

Chen Doudou said proudly, "Because there was a result."

Zhao Lei couldn't stop laughing.

"DouDou has a very clear motivation in life."

Chef Xia first introduced everyone to the ingredients.

Flour, butter, powdered sugar, eggs, milk, heavy cream.

Each item was arranged in a transparent bowl, looking clean and beautiful.

Zhao Mengmeng asked softly, "Is this white thing candy?"

Master Xia nodded.

"Yes, this is powdered sugar, which is finer than regular granulated sugar."

Zhou Xiaoyu touched the flour bag.

"This is flour."

Chen Doudou looked at the butter.

"This looks like cheese."

Shen Ling'er corrected her earnestly: "It's not cheese, it's butter."

Chen Doudou asked, "Can we eat it directly?"

Master Xia smiled.

"You can eat a little bit, but you generally won't eat a lot at once."

Shen Ling'er added, "Eating it directly will make you feel sick of it, and you'll regret it."

Chen Doudou immediately stopped.

"Then I won't eat it."

Zhao Lei looked at the camera and lowered his voice.

"Teacher Ling'er's words, 'You'll regret it,' are more effective than any food safety statement."

Master Xia then began teaching everyone how to make cookies.

"Soften the butter first, then beat it with powdered sugar."

"Add the egg mixture, and finally sift in the flour."

Zhao Lei listened and nodded.

"I understand, it's about getting mixed up."

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"It's not something you can just drift along for no reason."

Zhao Lei immediately shut up.

Master Xia asked with a smile, "Ling'er, do you know why you can't just mess around?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at the butter on the table.

"If the butter is too hard, the powdered sugar won't mix in, and it will clump together."

"If the butter melts into water, the batter will be too thin, and the baked product will easily collapse."

"You can't pour all the egg mixture in at once, otherwise the oil and water will separate, and the batter will look weird."

"The flour is added last because flour cannot be stirred for too long, otherwise it will become hard."

She spoke slowly and clearly.

The children seemed to understand, but the adults were stunned.

Master Xia's eyes visibly lit up.

Have you ever made cookies before?

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"no."

Zhao Lei immediately retorted, "How do you know so much if you haven't done it?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"Look at what they were originally like, and then think about what they would become if they were mixed together."

"Butter is oil, eggs contain water, and flour absorbs water."

"They won't behave just because you put them in a pot."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi couldn't stop laughing.

Even the ingredients have to obey.

Master Xia couldn't help but nod.

"That's very true."

"Baking is like this: the steps may seem simple, but the temperature, order, and degree of mixing are all very important."

The comments section exploded instantly.

"Here she comes! Teacher Ling'er is starting to understand desserts."

"She explained it so clearly, even someone like me who can't cook could understand it."

"The ingredients won't just obey orders after you pour them in, hahaha!"

"It's outrageous that someone who has never made cookies can explain the principles behind them."

"I'm increasingly convinced that she's not good at just one thing, but that she can see patterns."

After starting the process, Zhao Mengmeng was responsible for pouring the powdered sugar into the butter.

Zhou Xiaoyu was responsible for stirring gently.

Chen Doudou was responsible for keeping an eye on the bowl.

Lin Jia asked, "What are you staring at?"

Chen Doudou said seriously, "I'm afraid it will run away."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"The batter won't run away, but you'll sneak a bite."

Chen Doudou: "..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Lei's side also started operating.

He held the egg beater, his expression very focused.

"I'm sure I'll succeed this time."

Bai Sisi stood beside him, watching him.

"Don't throw the powdered sugar away."

Zhao Lei nodded confidently.

"Won't."

next second.

He acted quickly.

A small piece of powdered sugar gently rose from the bowl.

Zhao Lei froze.

Shen Ling'er looked at him calmly.

"Look, the powdered sugar flew away."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed so hard she bent over.

Master Xia quickly handed him a wet wipe.

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "You can't use too much force on something light from the start."

"The powdered sugar is very fine. If you apply too much force, it will float up first and won't obediently go in."

"You should press it in slowly at first, wait for it to stick to the butter, and then press it in a little faster."

Zhao Lei nodded vigorously.

"clear."

"First, let it feel a sense of belonging."

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"That sentence is a bit strange, but the meaning is roughly the same."

Zhao Lei was instantly satisfied.

"I've almost got another 'almost' confirmed today."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, fans need a sense of belonging!"

"Zhao Lei is really learning how not to create disasters every episode."

"Ling'er explained it in too much detail. She wasn't scolding him; she was directly telling him what to do."

"This rhythm is so comfortable, I can finally relax."

After the batter is made, use a mold to press out the shapes.

Zhao Mengmeng chose the little rabbit.

Zhou Xiaoyu chose Xiaohua.

Chen Doudou chose the chicken leg shape without hesitation.

Master Xia was stunned for a moment.

"We don't have chicken leg molds here."

Chen Doudou's expression turned sour for a moment.

Shen Ling'er looked at the mold box and took out a cloud-shaped one.

"This can be changed."

Chen Doudou's eyes lit up.

"How should it be changed?"

Shen Ling'er used a small knife to gently press an arc into one end of the cloud, and then pinched the other side to make it slightly rounder.

"It looks like a chicken leg."

Chen Doudou looked for a few seconds and nodded in shock.

"It really looks like it!"

Zhao Lei watched from the sidelines, thoroughly amused.

"Teacher Ling'er resolved Dou Dou's life regrets in five seconds."

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "Don't hold onto small things for too long, or the cookies will get soft."

Master Xia nodded upon hearing this.

"Yes, the cookie dough shouldn't be left at room temperature for too long, otherwise the butter will soften and the shape won't be as nice."

Zhao Lei immediately looked at the camera.

"Dear viewers, this is Teacher Ling'er's second baking lesson."

"Not every regret needs to be cried over; if you can change the mold, then change the mold."

Shen Ling'er frowned as she looked at him.

"The first half of your sentence is too broad."

Zhao Lei quickly changed his tune.

"Biscuits and dough should not be kept for too long."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"This sentence is much better."

Bai Sisi smiled and rubbed her forehead.

"Zhao Lei's current summary will be reviewed on-site by Teacher Ling'er."

After the cookies were put into the oven, Chef Xia began to teach everyone how to make cream puffs.

Add water, milk, butter, and a pinch of salt to a pot, bring to a boil, then pour in flour and stir quickly to form a dough.

The children found it amazing to watch the batter slowly form into a ball in the pot.

Zhao Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, "It's all rolled into a ball!"

Zhou Xiaoyu whispered, "It's like sticky Play-Doh."

Chen Doudou asked, "Can we eat this now?"

Master Xia smiled and shook his head: "Not yet."

Shen Ling'er glanced at the bottom of the pot.

"We need to stir-fry it a bit more now."

Master Xia was taken aback: "Yes, you need to stir the batter until a thin film appears on the bottom of the pan."

Zhao Lei immediately looked at Shen Ling'er.

"You figured it out again?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"If there's too much water in it, adding eggs later will make it too runny."

"If the cream puffs are too runny, they will collapse when squeezed out and won't puff up when baked."

"Now let's evaporate some of the excess water so it can hold its own."

Master Xia was genuinely surprised this time.

"Ling'er, you really haven't learned baking?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"no."

She paused for a moment, then added, "My dad said that for something to bulge out, there has to be room for the air to escape."

"Cream puffs should be like that too."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi couldn't help but smile and pat her little head.

Zhao Lei's ears twitched slightly, but this time he only whispered restrainedly:

"Mr. Shen participated in the cream puff teaching remotely."

Bai Sisi immediately patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't unfold it."

Shen Ling'er glanced at Zhao Lei.

"You held back this time, that's good."

Zhao Lei immediately straightened his back, but did not shout.

The live chat was already exploding.

"Mr. Shen has said it again!"

"For something to bulge out, there needs to be room for the air to escape. Doesn't that sound simple yet scientific?"

"No wonder Ling'er can understand cream puffs. It's not about memorizing recipes, it's about understanding the structure."

"How exactly does Shen Fei teach his kids? They can even fit a cream puff inside."

After the cream puff batter has cooled down, add the egg mixture little by little.

Chef Xia reminded everyone: "Don't add too many eggs at once."

"It depends on the consistency of the batter."

Zhao Lei carefully poured a little and asked, "Is this enough?"

Shen Ling'er stood to the side and glanced at it.

"Not enough."

Zhao Lei fell down a little more.

"And now?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"Almost there."

Shen Ling'er finally nodded after Zhao Lei finished pouring for the third time.

"Can."

Master Xia picked up a spatula and scooped up the batter. The batter slowly fell, forming an inverted triangle.

She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just right."

Zhao Lei's eyes widened.

"Teacher Ling'er, did you weigh it with your eyes?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"No need to weigh it."

"You can tell just by the way it fell."

"If it's too hard, it won't fall; if it's too thin, it will flow down immediately."

"The fact that it's willing to slow down now shows that it's not too stubborn or too scattered."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed so hard her shoulders shook.

"Even the batter has a personality now."

Master Xia said with a smile, "Actually, this description is very accurate. A baker has to pay attention to the state of the baker."

"The recipe is just the foundation; ultimately, it depends on the batter, temperature, and humidity."

The comments section was flooded with messages.

"Too stubborn and not too loose, hahaha!"

"Ling'er's description is so down-to-earth."

"This is easier to understand than technical jargon."

"Master Xia has fully approved it."

After piping the cream puffs, put them in the oven.

Just as everyone was waiting for the cream puffs, a little incident suddenly occurred in the workshop.

A strawberry cream cake next to the shop window was originally reserved for customers.

However, when the staff took the cake out of the refrigerator to check it, they found that the cream on the side had slightly slid down.

The shop assistant's expression changed.

"Teacher Xia, this cake seems to have collapsed a bit on the edges."

Master Xia immediately went over.

"How could this be? She was perfectly fine this morning."

Zhao Lei subconsciously looked at Shen Ling'er.

Shen Ling'er had already looked over.

She didn't approach the cake, but only looked at it from a safe distance for a few seconds.

"The cake isn't spoiled."

Master Xia immediately asked, "What's the problem?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the edge of the cake box.

"The box was placed at an angle just now."

The shop assistant was taken aback.

"what?"

Shen Ling'er said, "The cream only slides to one side, it's not soft all around."

"If the temperature is too high, the surrounding area will collapse a little."

"If the cake base is too wet, the bottom will also change."

"But only a little bit of the cream on the right side was pressed out, and the strawberry on top is also slightly off to the right."

"This means that when it was put into the refrigerator or taken out, the right side sagged slightly."

The shop assistant was stunned, then blushed.

"When I took it out just now, I think I did bump into the cabinet door, and the box tilted slightly."

Master Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt somewhat helpless.

"Luckily, it was discovered early."

Zhao Lei is already numb from watching it.

"No, Teacher Ling'er."

"You could even tell the cake was tilted?"

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "The cake is very soft."

"Soft things are the most likely to tattle."

"Wherever you touch it, it will change to that direction."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed and said, "That's so cute."

Master Xia quickly asked the staff to readjust the cake and added some more cream to the sides with a piping bag.

Shen Ling'er glanced at it.

"When repairing, don't just repair the collapsed areas."

Master Xia was taken aback: "Why?"

Shen Ling'er said, "If you only fill in the right side, the right side will look thicker than the left."

"Customers may not know exactly what's wrong, but they'll notice the cake is a little crooked."

"You should gently smooth the entire edge to make them look like a single unit."

After listening, Master Xia's eyes became completely serious.

"right."

"When fixing a cake, you can't just fix the bad part; you have to make the whole thing harmonious again."

Zhao Lei turned to the camera, his voice filled with laughter and admiration.

"Dear viewers, this is the third lesson from Teacher Ling'er's Dessert Workshop."

"Soft things are the most likely to tattle."

"When fixing a cake, you can't just focus on the collapsed side; you have to make the whole cake look good again."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"This summary is comprehensive."

Zhao Lei immediately covered his mouth.

He was afraid he would get too excited.

The live chat exploded with comments.

"Soft things are the most likely to tattle, hahaha!"

"She even noticed the cake was placed at an angle?"

"It's too fine; it can spot a strawberry even if it's slightly off-center."

"Master Xia has gone from simply showing the children around to seriously listening to their advice."

"This kid really can give a live lesson anywhere he goes."

The cream puffs are finally baked.

The aroma wafted out the moment the oven door was opened.

Each cream puff is plump and round, with a golden-yellow outer shell.

The children's eyes lit up.

Chen Doudou almost held her breath.

"Did they succeed?"

Master Xia nodded with a smile.

"It's a success."

Shen Ling'er glanced at it.

"This one is good."

Zhao Lei immediately asked, "Where can I do this?"

Shen Ling'er said, "They bulge quite evenly, without one side being higher than the other."

"The bottom didn't collapse, which means the batter consistency and oven temperature were both good."

"A few cracks are a little larger, but they don't affect the taste."

Upon hearing that it "wouldn't affect eating," Chen Doudou was completely relieved.

"That's a good cream puff."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Next, whip the cream.

Zhao Mengmeng and Zhou Xiaoyu both really enjoyed this segment.

The white cream slowly thickened in the bowl, like a cloud.

Zhao Lei also tried hitting it.

He was very cautious this time, asking as he played, "Teacher Ling'er, can we stop now?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at it.

"We can still play for a little while longer."

Zhao Lei continued to fight.

"And now?"

"stop."

Zhao Lei stopped immediately, his movements so clean that even Bai Sisi was surprised.

Master Xia used a spatula to lift the cream; the lines were clear, and the consistency was just right.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Teacher Zhao did a great job this time."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up, but he looked at Shen Ling'er first.

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"This time it was really good."

Zhao Lei's whole persona has finally received an official medal.

But he still held back from shouting.

He simply said to the camera in a low voice, "Dear viewers, I received double recognition today for my work in the cream whipping segment."

Bai Sisi laughed and said, "You're really getting better and better at controlling yourself now."

Shen Ling'er added earnestly, "Because cream can't take away your excitement."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"The cream can't handle Zhao Lei's excitement, hahaha!"

"Zhao Lei has really improved today."

"Ling'er's training has yielded remarkable results."

"This episode was easy, but it was still quite shocking."

Finally, the children began decorating the small cakes.

Zhao Mengmeng made a pink bunny cake.

Zhou Xiaoyu made a blue flower cake.

Chen Doudou made a very extravagant strawberry stack cake.

Lin Jia watched him put strawberries on top and couldn't help but remind him, "Put less, it'll tip over."

Chen Doudou said earnestly, "The more strawberries, the more sincere I am."

Shen Ling'er glanced at it.

"Too much sincerity will cause the cake to collapse."

Chen Doudou paused.

He looked at the cake, then at the strawberries.

Finally, I reluctantly took off two.

"Then I'll keep some sincerity to myself."

Zhao Lei couldn't stop laughing.

Shen Ling'er's own cake was very simple.

The surface was covered with white cream, with a ring of small flowers piped around the edge, and only three strawberries and a little chocolate shavings were placed on top.

It's not flashy, but it's very neat.

Master Xia looked at it for a few seconds and couldn't help but praise, "This is very beautiful."

Shen Ling'er said, "Cakes are meant to be eaten."

"If there's too much stuff on top, it'll get messy when you cut it, and it'll fall off when you eat it."

"It has to look good, but it can't be a hassle for the people eating it."

Master Xia nodded.

"This is a very important point in dessert design."

"It has to taste good, look good, and be easy to eat."

Zhao Lei looked on with a sigh.

"Dear viewers, this is the last lesson of the day."

"Cakes aren't meant to be displayed for worship; they're meant to be eaten."

"Looking good shouldn't cause trouble for the people who eat it."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You spoke very well this time."

Zhao Lei finally couldn't hold back and gently clenched his fist.

But the voice was still kept very low.

"Very easy to verify."

Bai Sisi leaned back in her chair, laughing.

"You've even learned to keep your excitement to yourself now."

Chen Doudou has already started eating the cream puffs she made herself.

He took a bite, and his eyes instantly lit up with an astonishing light.

"This is a good profession."

Lin Jia laughed and said, "Because it's edible?"

Chen Doudou nodded earnestly.

"Because it's edible, and you can make it yourself."

Shen Ling'er also took a bite of the cream puff and gave a serious evaluation.

"The outer shell is fine, and so is the cream."

The director immediately looked at the assistant director.

The assistant director lowered his head and quickly took notes.

[Dessert Workshop: The cream puff shells and cream fillings received Shen Ling'er's approval.]

Zhao Lei looked at the words and couldn't help but laugh.

"The assistant director's booklet is becoming more and more valuable."

"If anyone opens a shop in the future and gets written into Ling'er's book, they'll probably be able to hang up a signboard."

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"Don't hang things haphazardly."

"I'm only saying that today's batch is okay."

Zhao Lei immediately changed his tune.

"Yes, rigorous."

"Today's batch is limited and approved."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"That's accurate."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Today's limited batch is approved, hahaha!"

"Teacher Ling'er's food reviews are very rigorous."

"She really doesn't overpraise, which makes her recognition seem valuable."

"Today's dessert session was so relaxing—delicious, fun, and I even learned something!"

"The audience was shocked but not nervous; I like this rhythm."

As they left the workshop in the evening, Master Xia gave each child a box of homemade cookies.

Chen Doudou held the box with a devout expression.

"I will cherish this."

Lin Jia asked, "How long are you prepared to cherish this?"

Chen Doudou thought for a moment.

"By evening."

Everyone: "..."

Shen Ling'er handed her small cake box to Yang Mi.

"Mom, take it back and put it in the refrigerator."

Yang Mi nodded with a smile.

"it is good."

Zhao Lei leaned closer and asked, "Teacher Ling'er, how was your dessert workshop experience today?"

Shen Ling'er thought about it seriously.

"Good."

"Butter is obedient, and so is the batter."

"Uncle Zhao Lei was more obedient than usual today."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi burst out laughing.

"This is comparing Zhao Lei to noodles."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"The intensity needs to be controlled."

Zhao Lei clutched his chest.

"I actually think this is quite a high compliment."

Yang Mi smiled and took her daughter's hand.

The setting sun shone on the glass display case, making the row of small cakes inside sparkle.

The crew slowly walked towards the car.

This episode didn't involve chasing thieves, viewing cultural relics, or any thrilling or dramatic scenes.

Small cakes made with only butter, flour, cream, and a group of children.

Yet the live stream's popularity remained shockingly high.

The topic quickly climbed to the top of the trending searches.

#Shen Ling'er noticed the cake was placed at an angle#

#Soft things are most likely to tattle#

#TeacherLing'er'sDessertWorkshopOpens#

#Both Zhao Lei and the batter need to be cooked with controlled force#

#Shen Ling'er's Limited Batch of Approvals Today#

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"I didn't think the dessert segment would be shocking, but she could even tell that the cake had been touched."

"She explains the principles of baking so clearly."

"This child doesn't just memorize facts; she genuinely understands why things turn out the way they do."

"Zhao Lei did a good job today; at least he didn't ruin the cream."

"How did Shen Fei raise his daughter? It seems like Ling'er can see the underlying patterns in everything she sees."

In the car.

Shen Ling'er leaned against Yang Mi, holding a box of cookies in her arms.

Zhao Lei sighed softly in the front row.

"Today was so relaxing."

The voice just fell.

Everyone on the bus turned to look at him.

Zhao Lei froze instantly.

Shen Ling'er slowly raised her eyes.

"You spoke too soon again."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The director silently put his phone on silent again.

The car was silent for a second.

The next second, everyone burst into laughter.
