After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 34 Fried Cake

When Jiang Li woke up early the next morning, he saw snowflakes falling outside.

"It's snowing!"

In fact, snowing is not a rare thing in City A. There are several snowfalls in one winter, and sometimes it lasts for several days.

It’s just that this winter was not too cold, and the first snow didn’t fall until just before the Chinese New Year.

Feeling the cold air outside, Jiang Li turned on the air conditioner and put on a sweater.

I got up so early this morning to make fried cakes. Jiang Xu had been clamoring to eat fried cakes last night.

If he hadn't been her only brother, she would have kicked him out long ago.

Fried cakes are a delicacy that is commonly eaten in every household. They have a crispy outer skin and a soft inner skin.

When you take a bite, the sweet filling will flow out, full of the taste of happiness.

Just thinking about it, Jiang Li couldn't help drooling.

The first step in making fried cakes is to make the bean filling.

Jiang Li soaked the beans in advance last night to allow the beans to fully absorb water and expand.

Jiang Li put the soaked beans into the pot and cooked them over medium-low heat until they were soft. He then crushed them with a spoon and mixed them evenly with brown sugar.

The bean filling is sweet but not greasy, and the one you make yourself will not be as sweet and greasy as those sold outside.

The next step is to cut the dough into small pieces and roll them into thin slices.

Then Jiang Li wrapped the bean filling into the thin slices and pinched the opening tightly to prevent it from leaking out during frying.

The fried cakes he made the first time didn’t look very good, but Jiang Li didn’t care.

After all, there is no need to make the food you cook at home so exquisite. The more casual it is, the more appetizing it will be.

With the experience of frying twisted dough sticks yesterday, it was easy for Jiang Li to fry fried deep-fried cakes today.

Pour enough oil into the pot, and when the oil temperature reaches the right level, Jiang Li puts the wrapped fried cakes into the pot.

You also need to turn the fried cakes back and forth from time to time so that they are heated evenly.

When the fried cakes were almost done, Jiang Xu got up after smelling the scent.

He couldn't wait to sit down at the table, looking at Jiang Li eagerly.

"It smells so good, sister! You are so amazing! You can even make fried cakes!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Your sister knows a lot."

There were some beans left after making the bean paste, so Jiang Li put them into the soy milk maker.

In just a short while, a cup of soy milk is ready.

Just like that, a perfect breakfast was placed on the table.

Jiang Xu didn't mind the heat and just wanted to grab a piece with his hands and eat it.

As a result, Jiang Li hit him and said, "Go get the chopsticks."

"Oh." Jiang Xu felt aggrieved and obediently went to the kitchen to get chopsticks.

The fried cakes fresh out of the pan were just as delicious as she had imagined.

The crust is golden and crispy. When you take a bite, the crunching sound makes people happy.

The bean filling inside is particularly sweet and delicious, forming a perfect taste contrast with the crispy crust.

Every bite of fried cake is full of happiness, making people unable to help but eat one bite after another.

Just when they were enjoying their meal, Jiang Xu received a call from his high school classmate Zuo Wenbing.

"A Xu, have you returned to S City?"

Jiang Xu put his phone aside and talked to his classmate on the other end of the phone while eating.

"No, I'm spending the New Year in City A this year."

S City is the hometown of Jiang Li and Jiang Xu. They used to spend the New Year there every year. "That's perfect. Those of us in A City, why don't we get together for dinner?"

Zuo Wenbing was overjoyed. He thought Jiang Xu had already returned home, but it turned out to be a coincidence.

Jiang Li, who was sitting opposite Jiang Xu, paused while eating when he heard this.

This part is in the plot. Similarly, Jiang Xu and Jiang Li stayed in City A for the New Year and received the invitation before the New Year.

Jiang Xu agreed to go out and attend the high school reunion, and the heroine Lin Ruxin was also there.

It was at this class reunion that Lin Ruxin made up her mind to pursue Jiang Xu.

Adhering to the idea that if a man pursues a woman, it's easy to get her to chase after him, while if a woman pursues a man, it's easy to get her to chase him, Lin Ruxin began a two-month long stalking.

Not only did she fail to catch up with Jiang Xu, but she made the male protagonist who accidentally passed by A University fall in love with her at first sight.

As Jiang Xu was being pursued by Lin Ruxin at the time, he was naturally regarded as a thorn in the male protagonist's side.

The first thing I will do when I have the ability is to send Jiang Xu to jail.

Before Jiang Li could speak, Jiang Xu had already agreed.

Obviously, we are all from S City, but instead of going home when the Chinese New Year is approaching, we go to a class reunion.

This bizarre operation really made Jiang Li unable to understand, but now Jiang Xu has agreed to it.

It's also because she has been living too well recently that she actually forgot something as important as the plot.

Jiang Li patted his head, feeling a little annoyed. What kind of brain is this? He can't remember anything at all.

Jiang Xu, who was sitting opposite, felt a little strange when he saw his sister's abnormal behavior.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xu said to Zuo Wenbing on the other end of the phone, "By the way, can I take my sister with me?"

Zuo Wenbing uttered an "ah" in doubt, a little hesitant.

"Forget it, my sister is home alone, I'd better stay at home with her."

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Jiang Xu still didn't want to leave Jiang Li alone at home, even though he might just go out for dinner.

Jiang Li looked up and met Jiang Xu's puzzled gaze. What was this kid doing?

Jiang Xu smiled sweetly. He was indeed his sister's good brother. He didn't even go to the class reunion in order to accompany him, although he also wanted to go.

Upon hearing Jiang Xu's words, Zuo Wenbing did not hesitate.

"Of course you can, you can bring as many sisters as you want."

What a joke! He came here on a mission this time. The beauty in their class, Lin Ruxin, specifically asked to invite Jiang Xu.

Thinking of how Jiang Xu had been friendly with everyone before, Zuo Wenbing naturally agreed.

It's just a sister. Even if all the aunts and uncles are brought along, Zuo Wenbing has no objection as long as Jiang Xu himself comes.

"Okay, see you tonight then."

After saying that, Jiang Xu hung up the phone.

"Did you ask for my opinion when you took me to the class reunion?"

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Xu with a smile.

Jiang Xu touched his head guiltily. He had originally wanted to ask her sister to come along, as Zuo Wenbing might find it inconvenient and he could then decline to go.

I didn’t expect Zuo Wenbing to accept it, so there’s nothing I can do.

"You're so bored staying at home every day, so I'll take you out to play, good sister."

Looking at Jiang Xu like this, Jiang Li smiled helplessly.

But it's a mixed bag. The good thing is that Jiang Li unexpectedly joined the class reunion, so she can keep an eye on it and understand the progress of the plot better.

What’s worrying is that Jiang Li once again feels the power of the plot, and what is supposed to happen will happen.

Just let nature take its course and deal with it as it happens.

Thinking about it, Jiang Li took another big bite of the fried cake in his hand. He had to admit, the bean filling was really delicious!
