Lin Xueyan
In 2014, he joined the police, and was the fourth-level police chief of the 20th prison district of the seventh prison district of Fujian Provincial Women's Prison, mainly responsible for the business work of the e-education center (prison television station).
In her work, she interprets the responsibility of the prison people's police with a sense of responsibility and action. During the epidemic period, she stepped forward, charged ahead, and took the lead in joining the closed duty, "I am the person in charge of the e-education center, in this special period, it is the time for our center to play an educational and publicity role, please let me stick to the front line of epidemic prevention publicity and ensure the completion of the task." ”
In addition to her intense and serious prison work, she was attracted by the exquisite and seductive shape of desserts and the varied taste of the variety of layers, and entered the world of baking. Baking is not only a good medicine to relieve the pressure of work, but also a piece of the puzzle to add to the joy of life. The raw materials are prepared, fused, and made, from a mediocre batter to a seductive finished product, and this process of change conveys a happy signal.
Baking is an art, and many people play with the original intention of baking is to feel that those beautiful cakes will be particularly fulfilling if they are made by themselves. "I always like to eat desserts, I often go to the store to buy them, and I usually see those beautiful desserts on the Internet." Lin Xueyan pondered, the dessert style in the store is similar, it is better to do it yourself, what kind of food you want to eat, "In fact, calculate the cost of eating desserts, and it may be more economical to do it yourself." ”
Heading towards "sweetness"
In the early days, Lin Xueyan filled the shopping cart like a squirrel storing pine cones, ovens, molds, accessories, packaging...
After making preparations, she thought she could become a "cake maker" in this regard, but she did not expect that there would be greater difficulties waiting in the rear. If nothing else, kneading dough is a technical job, the technique and strength are exquisite, even if you knead it with great effort, it is not necessarily baked well, and this alone is a test for beginners.
And each baking is like a chemical experiment, which requires strict control of the accuracy of the ratio of ingredients. Lin Xueyan, who has zero experience, can only rely on the "scientific spirit" to carefully weigh and deploy, so as not to abandon the previous achievements, Rao is so careful, or can not avoid various situations. Speaking of "failed products", it is worthy of the chiffon cake that makes people "mad", looking at the defective products of the soul returning to the garbage can, the desktop after a scuffle, and the dishwashing pool full of pots and pans, and the heart is sad. Comparing the tutorial, controlling variables, and analyzing the reasons, Lin Xueyan calmed down and adjusted step by step, "Ding~" When a decent finished product is taken out of the oven, all the hard work is dissipated, and the joy brought by the sense of achievement exceeds the snack itself.
Explore towards "fun"
"Baking is actually not difficult, if you want to do it well, without him, only the hands are familiar." Lin Xueyan, who began to contact baking in 2016, is now at ease in the blossoming baking world, mousse cakes, cookies, Black Forest cakes, soy milk boxes, cheese bags, dirty bags, red velvet, snowflake puff pastry... With the improvement of baking technology, in addition to the conventional types, Lin Xueyan gradually began to challenge some more difficult works.
The most basic prototype is found, a solid taste level is constructed, and other decorations and changes can be played at will.
The festivities of the Spring Festival, the coldness of summer, the reunion of autumn, the snow of winter... "No Christmas can lack gingerbread houses, make houses made of biscuits, and then smear frosting and white chocolate to create a snowy world." Finally put some Christmas decorations and a Christmas fairy tale cottage is born! "Every festive season, Lin Xueyan will make some seasonal desserts to share with her family and colleagues," Xueyan's cake makes people have an appetite when they see it, and they will look forward to the small snacks she brings every time they celebrate. "My children always like to ask me when Sister Xueyan makes cookies, and every day she expects me to bring small cookies back." Everyone's happy smiles once again added full energy to Lin Xueyan, "Sometimes, colleagues will find me to customize cakes, and the most is the birthday of my family." They were so happy to trust me and love the cakeSmithSma. ”
Baking is the record of life, just like photography, engraving important moments of life, changing seasons, and customs and festivals on desserts.
Moving towards "love"
Working in the prison, facing a variety of criminals, in the process of educating and reforming them, Lin Xueyan also played her "cake master" specialty. In the face of juvenile offenders, Lin Xueyan seized the opportunity of the "Rite of Passage" to lead the juvenile offenders who were about to become adults to feel the vitality of the ingredients through their hands, and used beautiful food to evoke the warmest memories in their hearts and inspire their love for life.
Embryos are born between ten fingers, carrying expectations into the oven, time flows in waiting, baking is a slow process, only by sinking down to find and experience, can we harvest the happiness brought by the oven "ding" a sound, in order to pick up the power of happiness in the small place, create a taste and memories full of love.
In addition to the identity of the prison police and the "cake master", Lin Xueyan continued to "expand the territory", sock dolls, wrought iron boat models, fabric decorations, colored lead paintings, paper flowers... With a clever mind, she signed up for the summer camp organized by the prison, teaching children to make biscuits and origami handicrafts, and was warmly "sought after" by the children at the event site.
Maybe we can't use our leisure time to change the world and realize great dreams, but at least we can use our leisure time to make life more interesting and warm. Baking brings Lin Xueyan not only a sense of happiness and satisfaction, but also a attitude of excellence and perseverance, believing that all persistence will be rewarded.
