Chapter 122 Baking Class (Part 2)(1/2)
While chatting and drinking tea, Baker received a mysterious phone call. After hanging up the phone, he was a little unbelievable: "The commander of the Southern District Criminal Division of the Frontline Police Department asked me if anyone wanted to join the Southern District Criminal Division.
The three criminal departments of the South, Central and North are all under the jurisdiction of the Frontline Police Department. In addition to investigating criminal cases within their jurisdiction, they also provide reinforcements and assist in the investigation of major criminal cases in towns and groups.
Liang Xi said happily: "This is good." Baker was still a senior agent.
Baker hesitated: "I'm not familiar with criminal investigation."
Liang Xi persuaded, "If you're not familiar with it, you can learn." Liang Xi guessed that it was most likely the solution that Bobby found someone to think of. Bobby wanted to save face, and it was impossible for Baker to be transferred to a position lower than his current professional status.
.
Baker still shook his head: "I still don't like using my brain."
Liang Xidao: "How can there be so many professional crimes? There are more and more public security cameras now, and criminal investigation technology is becoming more and more professional. All you have to do is visit, record and interrogate this matter. Bobby will definitely not take you
Put him in an awkward position."
Baker asked: "Bobby arranged it?"
Liang Xi nodded: "My guess is that Bobby's uncle seems to be an assistant police superintendent. In terms of your qualifications and achievements in the police, you are transferred from the anti-powder team to the criminal investigation team, which is considered a condescension. And criminal investigation work is often difficult.
Contact with flour criminals requires an expert detective who is familiar with the flour market."
Baker is someone who is easily persuaded by words, and thinks what Liang Xi said makes sense. Although his ideal is to be a special police officer, criminal investigation is also possible. At least he can leave the current turbulent anti-powder team. The anti-powder team has a new captain.
Under the leadership of the boss, life must be getting harder day by day. The bosses who have been tempered from the bottom pay more attention to the process and results, and do not stick to the details. The bosses who are parachuted as clerks pay more attention to rules and regulations and focus on the details. Doing too much and making too many mistakes is their motto.
Baker stood up and said goodbye to Mary. It was now four o'clock in the afternoon. He was going to the Southern District Criminal Investigation Department to have a direct interview with the commander. Liang Xi and Mary were so familiar that they didn't need to talk. After Baker left, they drank tea leisurely and enjoyed the good times quietly.
Afternoon tea time.
…
Before eight o'clock in the evening, twenty students had arrived at the baking class, and everyone welcomed Mary with applause. Mary responded with a smile, introduced Liang Xi, and said: "Today we are going to make the refrigerated mousse cake we made last week.
, last week our products were good, but not the best. There are two reasons. The first reason is that you stick to time too much, instead of judging and modifying the time based on the product. The second reason is that gelatin tablets have
Some students have overlooked one point. After soaking the gelatine tablets in water, the taste is unpalatable. The gelatine is melted through water and cannot be stirred. After absorbing the water, the excess water must be soaked up with a cloth. The gelatine must be reduced as much as possible.
The fishy smell brought by the tincture.”
Mary said: "The community charity committee also asked me to express my gratitude to everyone. The cakes and desserts everyone made in the past few weeks have been very popular and raised a lot of donations. Thank you everyone."
Everyone applauded.
Mary said: "Let's get started."
Everyone gets busy, either alone or in pairs, depending on their respective relationships. Those who are capable do more, and those who are not capable do less. Mary is responsible for guiding and finding out the reasons for their food problems. The students
Not only can they learn, but they can also help raise funds for charity, which makes them happy.
Community donations are usually only used in the community and have many uses, such as organizing community activities, helping people in need in the community, hiring more community police, improving the community environment, donating to community school libraries, building sports venues, etc. Community councils are voluntary by community members.
Applications are voted by community residents based on the applicant's status. These people are not paid, and not every community has a community council. Usually communities with stable residents and a group income of about average will form a community council. Similar to a homeowners committee
, but it is more transparent when doing things and residents have a stronger sense of participation.
There are many people in need of help in a community, including the disabled, lonely elderly people, fans, bankrupts, etc. In most cases, these people need to be self-reliant or seek help from the city hall and charitable organizations. If you live in a community
There is a community council, you can contact the community council directly.

Mary led Liang Xi to a woman wearing a white chef uniform: "Sofia, that is Liang Xi."
"Nice to meet you." Liang Xi shook hands with Sophia. Sophia is not old, but her eyes are big, beautiful, and pleasant. The first impression she gives people is that of elegance. Compared with ordinary people's polite smiles, she is more attentive,
It makes you feel like you are smiling after seeing you, instead of looking at you with a smile. Just like gourmets, some people chew the food once or twice and then praise it. This is called a courtesy compliment. Some people come back to taste it after chewing.
Only when the food is good or bad will you praise the food. Whether this kind of praise is sincere or false, it will make the other person feel very comfortable.
Liang Xi judged that Sophia was a girl who had received special etiquette training. The word "special" has a special meaning here. Ordinary etiquette training requires hands, feet, smiles, standing, sitting, etc. Specialized etiquette training was spread from the nobility to society.
An etiquette training method with only one core: elegance. Elegance is a temperament that can be comprehensively reflected in a person's gestures, words, expressions and other aspects, giving people a sense of nobility. Only professional
A woman who smiles sexually is a hotel greeter, and a woman whose smile reflects her elegance may be a rich lady.
Liang Xi had already predicted Sophia's situation through Mary's description of Sophia's background. The situation was better than he thought, but it was not beyond his expectations, so there was no sense of surprise or surprise. Liang Xi was gentle and chatted with Sophia politely.
Mary was of course dissatisfied and used her influence to say: "Sofia is a professional chef. Liang Xi, you are responsible for helping Sophia today and make as many cakes as possible."
Liang Xi nodded: "Okay." Now that he is here, he is already mentally prepared.
Sophia was not shy or embarrassed, she was generous and said, "Mr. Liang, you have to work hard today."
Liang Xi said: "Just call me Liang Xi."
Seeing this, Mary was very satisfied and left.
…
Liang Xi and Sophia chatted very normally, tepidly, with appropriate humor, appropriate topics, and there was social pressure caused by strangers. But they could handle it more easily. Neither of them had the intention to develop in the direction that Mary wanted.
They planned to just be busy and chatting about the past until a male student who was making cakes with his girlfriend came over.
"Excuse me, are you Kou Kou?"
Sophia was startled and replied with a little embarrassment: "Yes, hello."
"Nice to meet you." The male student's expression was obviously: Damn it, why are you here? After coping with it, the male student returned to his girlfriend and whispered something. The girlfriend looked at Sophia. Soon the girlfriend took the
Take off your gloves and quietly take photos with your phone.
Liang Xi took a step forward, his plump body blocking his view. His girlfriend looked at it for a while and finally gave up and continued making cakes, but kept whispering to her boyfriend. Kou Kou changed her generous character and became taciturn and immersed herself in work.
Silent.
Liang Xi was only a little smart, but his IQ and memory were about the same as ordinary people. Liang Xi remembered where he had heard the name Kou Kou, but he couldn't remember it. Taking the opportunity to get kitchen utensils, Liang Xi looked it up on his mobile phone and found out.
Kou Kou was ranked eighth on the UK list of bad bananas last month. Most of the people who are on this list have done something uncomfortable or unpleasant.
Kou Kou is a small internet celebrity on Xiaguang (the most famous short video website in the world). She is famous because she teaches people how to cook without showing her face. As a result, there are so many people who want to see her face. There are no dishes that can be seen.
The attractive and invisible face attracted the attention of countless people, and Kou Kou became famous. Kou Kou has a small restaurant of her own in a commercial street near the wealthy area. It has only two tables. It is only open on weekends every week and only accepts reservations from acquaintances.
, only accepts dinner. All food is cooked, delivered and cleaned by Kou Kou herself.
To put it simply, it's just fun, but Kou Kou plays it very seriously and her cooking skills are quite good.
A month and a half ago, a woman brought two women to a restaurant, calling Kou Kou a vixen, seducing her husband, calling Kou Kou a mistress, a fourth person, etc. Kou Kou was beaten, the restaurant was smashed, and the police intervened in the investigation. Because
Kou Kou, a young Internet celebrity, is a public figure and has public influence. Therefore, the police reported the case anonymously. It was confirmed that the boyfriend Kou Kou was dating was the legal husband of the attacker.
The batterer suffered miserably in front of the camera. He described his husband as treating the batterer's illness and was forced to accept Kou Kou's orders like a dog. Someone found out that Kou Kou was the illegitimate daughter of a rich man. This rich man had a great reputation.
It was so bad that she even humiliated and ridiculed the poor in public. Under the arrangement of the people behind the scenes, Kou Kou became the target of attacks for a week. This was also her bad luck. She was originally just a small Internet celebrity, but no more famous person came out.
I had no choice but to fight hard for a week. A week later, the restaurant closed down and Kou Kou disappeared. Unexpectedly, she moved to this community.
After the release of Rotten Banana, a big Internet celebrity commented on the ranking. When talking about Kou Kou, he named the promoter company and ridiculed the IQ of many netizens who attacked Kou Kou. This big Internet celebrity relies on his daily mocking of the IQ of keyboard warriors.
A famous person, he announced the truth about the whole Kou Kou incident in his second short video.
Truth 1: He is not a boyfriend at all, but someone who has helped Kou Kou. The two are friends. What is even more frightening is that the man approached Kou Kou with a purpose.
Fact 2: Kou Kou is an illegitimate daughter. The mastermind behind the whole thing is Kou Kou's father's wife. The reason is that when the wife listened to her husband reprimanding her children, she repeatedly used Kou Kou as a positive role model, which made her intolerable.
Fact 3: The whole thing is run by a certain promoter company.
This once again ignited the enthusiasm of netizens, and then something very bad happened. The rich man divorced his wife, but the wife did not agree. The wife broadcast live to netizens on her own account and said many touching words between husband and wife, explaining the harm that Kou Kou had done to their family.
In the end, she apologized to everyone and took sleeping pills. Naturally, she was saved by enthusiastic netizens who called the police. After this incident, due to the mainstream's disgust for the mistress and sympathy for the original wife, the voices of criticism for Koko were much higher than the voices of sympathy. The most important thing is that
The reason is that neutral people will not waste time paying attention to her after they think that Kou Kou is fine. Sympathetic voices come from Kou Kou's big fans, who are very angry that Kou Kou was exposed online. Unfortunately, the person involved, Kou Kou, never spoke up, leaving her father's wife alone
Fabricating various rumors. Although this incident slowly dissipated over time, the label was also imprinted on Kou Kou.
Liang Xi saw the accompanying news in the push notification on his mobile phone. In five days, thirty Internet celebrities from Europe will be invited to participate in the first Internet Celebrity Festival organized by media tycoon Johnson. At the Internet Celebrity Festival, they will compete for huge prizes.
All processes will be broadcast live online. It is rumored that the prize is as high as 20 million pounds. Kou Kou is one of the invitees.
Considering that some Internet celebrities cannot take care of themselves, the Internet Celebrity Festival allows each Internet celebrity to bring an assistant to participate in the Internet Celebrity Festival.
Liang Xi came back and after being busy for a while, he kindly reminded: "Don't participate in the Internet Celebrity Festival."
"Oh." A very easy answer.
"Johnson is a suspected internet celebrity killer."
"Ah?" This time there was a feeling of surprise.
Liang Xidao: "I am a detective, I suggest you not to participate."
Kou Kou worked silently, and after a while she said: "I have agreed to participate."
Liang Xi asked: "Why?" From the information he read, he could roughly guess Kou Kou's character. She is not a proactive person and does not like to participate in so-called Internet celebrity festivals.
Koko replied: "My mother asked me to participate. She said I need to face everything bravely."
Kou Kou is indeed the illegitimate daughter of a rich man, but Kou Kou's mother is also a rich man. She was his partner at that time, and they fell in love during the cooperation. The two parties separated because the original wife came to the door. The rich man did not have a relationship with Kou Kou after that.
The mother has no contact with her anymore, but she often visits Kou Kou and even takes Kou Kou with her on trips.
The first wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is an official member of the Clement family and Bobby's cousin. It is precisely because of marrying her that the rich man has developed and has the opportunity to cooperate with Coco's mother.
