I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 27
On the day of the banquet, a night of rain slightly lowered the continuous high temperature, and the cool weather in the capital has not been seen for a long time.

The day before Yu Jian's banquet, she would definitely let herself relax and get a good night's sleep.

Just a little while after dawn, she opened her eyes and got up to exercise in the yard.When she was young, she was thin and weak, so her master taught her a formula for keeping in good health. With the moves, she gradually felt much stronger.

The cook is a laborious job. I don't have any strength in my hands, but I can't even lift a spatula.

After a set of health-preserving exercises, thin sweat was already breaking out on her forehead, and Yu Jian let out a foul breath.

The sky is already bright, and Dad Yu and the others should get up in a while, and it's time to make breakfast.

Yu Jian is going to make a crystal dragon and phoenix cake.

"Jujube rice is steamed, and flowers come in when they see it", the nineteenth dessert in this Shaowei banquet is actually just an ordinary jujube cake with glutinous rice flour, but today is a big day, and it is a good sign for the prosperity of the dragon and the phoenix .

Yu Jian fixed the scattered hair with a hair clip, cleaned her hands, and stood in the kitchen refreshed.

The jujube noodles are a fresh product that I saw in the market yesterday. It is said that they are a specialty of a remote town in the central region. Yu Jian squeezed a bunch and smelled it. The aroma of red dates is very strong, and the flour is slightly brownish red.

This is one of the most important ingredients of crystal dragon and phoenix cake.

Another ingredient was a bag of fresh glutinous rice flour that Yu Jian held in her hand.

Pour a bowl of white glutinous rice flour into the basin first, then add the same amount of jujube noodles, still add half a bowl of boiling hot water and stir, and then add cold water several times.

Mix the two kinds of flour and knead it until the color gradually turns into a beautiful pink. Yu Jian increases her strength, her arms drive her wrists to knead into a dough.

Next is to let the dough rise.In ancient times, the fermentation was done in a stupid way, allowing it to ferment naturally, it would take a day or so.

Yu Jian found another way, placing the dough in pots next to the stove, which greatly shortened the fermentation time.But how come the stove in this summer, Yu Jian took a step back and put the dough basin next to the steamer, the heat of the steamer can greatly increase the temperature of the space.

The reason why the crystal dragon and phoenix cake is called this name is because of its pattern of dragon and phoenix.Yu Jian grabbed two handfuls of dried red dates from the bag, slashed the knife point, the flesh split open, and a slender fruit core rolled aside.

With the back of the knife stretched horizontally, the flesh and skin were spread flat on the chopping board. Yu Jian sliced ​​it carefully, leaving a thin layer of jujube skin.

Crush the jujube meat, then add sugar and mix well.The remaining red dates can't be wasted, and the cores are removed for later use.

At this time, the dough has swelled a lot, Yu Jian poked the softness with chopsticks, it was almost ready.

The thickness of the dragon and phoenix cake is about eight or nine centimeters. Yu Jian took out the dough and made it into a rectangle more than an inch long, and wrapped each piece of cake with jujube meat.

The water in the steamer had been boiling for a long time, Yu Jian put them into the steamer one by one.

This steaming takes a long time, when will it last?

Yu Yuan smelled the aroma of dates wafting from the kitchen, and his saliva almost flowed out.With the same expression, there was also Father Yu who couldn't bear to go out and eat a bowl of tofu brain.

Father Yu pulled a tissue to his son: "Wipe it, it's almost dripping on the ground."

Yu Yuan unconsciously took the napkin, wiped it on his mouth twice, stared at Yu Jian in the kitchen, and asked, "How long is it?"

Yeah, how long is it?
Father Yu also turned to the kitchen, the smell was too tempting.

Open the cage lid, at this time the powdery white cake has been steamed slightly, and the jujube meat inside can be vaguely seen.Yu Jian directly took the steamer to the side to let it cool, found a thin boning knife from the drawer, smeared the date paste, and finished it on the date cake in one go.

Looking at it this way, it's amazing.A five-clawed golden dragon appeared on the jujube cake, and on the other side, it turned out to be a soaring phoenix.

Yu Yuan couldn't wait any longer, as soon as her sister put the steamer on the table, she hurriedly grabbed a piece, swallowed it in one bite, and smelled delicious all over her body.

Father Yu looked at it carefully for a while. The red jujube flesh was revealed in the transparent skin.But the sweetness is just right, this taste is unforgettable!
……

"Sister! Come on!" The cook couldn't bring the children with him, so Yu Yuan could only stand helplessly at the door to see off his sister.

Since my sister came, the food level at home has skyrocketed.It's not that he doesn't eat well on weekdays, it's just that Yu Jian has broadened Yu Yuan's horizons a lot. With just one pastry, he can make dozens of different ones over and over again.

Father Yu pointed to himself: "Don't you encourage me?"

Kid Yu Yuan took a serious look at him and curled his lips: "You're just a soy saucer."

Turning her head to Yu Jian again, she hugged her thigh and rubbed against her: "Sister, bring me something delicious when you come back."

Yu Jian patted his brain, and smiled secretly.

It was quiet in the back kitchen, there was no sound at all.

Yu Jian stepped in suspiciously. There was no one there, and she touched the stove again. It was cold, and it seemed that no fire had been fired at noon.

"Dad?" she called out in confusion.

Father Yu took out his mobile phone silently and dialed a number: "Where are you guys?"

The other party probably knew that he would make this call, but he was very frank: "Master Yu, Boss Xiao Han said that Jin Fulou has distinguished guests today, and it is closed during the day."

"So... where are you? Where are the little apprentices?" The veins on Yu's father's forehead burst out.

Wang De laughed: "Us? We are outside! Be good tonight, I am waiting for your good news!"

Said, hung up the phone.Father Yu called again, but no one answered.

Father Yu concealed the sourness in his heart, forced a smile at Yu Jian, and comforted his daughter: "It's okay, the live father who serves the dishes is fine."

and so……

Is this the struggle of the kitchen?Yu Jian didn't understand.This Jinfulou is simply trying to die.

This Han Yubai, is his brain twitching? ?
"Dad, don't worry, it's still early, we have plenty of time." Yu Jian calculated the ingredients and processing time of each dish. Although the two of them were in a hurry, there should be plenty of time.

The father and daughter hurriedly met each other, rolled up their sleeves and started to get busy.

Two hours later, Yu Jian finally processed all the ingredients, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, quickly see if the lotus seed paste is still there!"

Since Wang De can be so godlike, he must have predicted that Yu's father would make a mistake.But the rest of the things have not been tampered with, and the only thing that can move is the box of lotus seed paste.

Father Yu probably realized something, and without a word, he plunged into the storage room and opened the refrigerator.

still!

The stainless steel crisper lies quietly on the shelf.

But in the next second, his face changed suddenly. Where's the bag on the crisper?

He obviously put on a bag!

Opening the box tremblingly, a strong sour smell rushed into the tip of the nose, and there was still a thick layer of brown unknown liquid floating inside.

He took two steps on his hind legs, barely stopped when his back was against the wall, and suddenly felt weak in his hands.

Yu Jian stood outside the door, only to hear a "cracking" sound.

She quickly opened the door: "Dad, what's wrong with you?!"
