Jiang Yan poured the newly bought large plate into water, mixed the flour yeast powder and goat's milk together in a certain proportion, then added a little sugar, poured the cut dried red dates into it and stirred, and put it aside to wait for it to ferment and expand.

However, the people here did not use it in desserts or pastries, and it was generally used to make wine, and she only confirmed that it could be used as yeast powder after searching in the plane mall.

After waiting for a while to put it on the stove to steam, such a simple red date soft cake is ready, this method is simple, and the cost is relatively low, Jiang Yan plans to use it with rice noodles to sell, as the main cake signboard.

The rest of the flour Jiang Yan plans to make Dafu, that is, Xue Meiniang, there are many ways to make this pastry, and she plans to make the kind without butter, because there is no butter in this era.

So she made a regular version, but used relatively more milk, and she didn't find a seller of milk in the town, so she had to use goat's milk instead.

Daifuku needs to use cream, which needs to be homemade, and it is also the most laborious step of this pastry, she separates the egg whites from the egg yolks, and the egg whites are beaten by hand for Lin Xi until there is a small layer of foam on top, and then a little salt, a little sugar and vinegar are added in turn until they thicken into a paste.

The fillings were made into two kinds, one with a red date flavor and a pear flavor, and then the Daifuku skin was mixed with glutinous rice flour mixed with starch and goat's milk to remove the fishy smell, and put it in the pot for heating, in order to make Daifuku look better and more delicious, Jiang Yan also bought pink and green edible coloring in the mall.

After that, add the filling, and use the oil paper prepared in advance, Daifuku's practice is relatively cumbersome, especially the cream, which needs to be done manually, so the price will be more expensive, Jiang Yan is aimed at high-consumption people, this pink and green Daifuku, all round and very cute, the most pleasing to those rich sons and ladies.

"It's so beautiful, mother! What is it? ”

Lin Bei stared intently at the two pastries that had just come out of the pot, and as soon as he spoke, everyone also looked up at it, and even the cooked food was not fragrant.

Jiang Yan opened his mouth and said: "This is the red date soft cake, this is Dafu, our new food, you can taste it or not." ”

Saying that, the red date soft cake was distributed to everyone, and everyone didn't care whether it was hot or not, and they stuffed it into their mouths one after another.

"It's delicious, a bit like steamed buns, but sweeter and softer." Lin Nan couldn't help but take another bite, this sweet and greasy feeling made people linger, and he couldn't help but want to eat more.

"Mother, you're amazing! How did you come up with it? ”

Jiang Yan tasted it, the sweetness was moderate, after all, it was made according to the pastry recipe bought in the mall, it was not familiar enough, and the taste was still poor, but for this era of simple eating and single practice, it was already delicious.

"I just thought about the method of steamed buns, add some things to try, I didn't expect the taste to be okay, you can also taste this Dafu, the filling inside is the egg white of the three dozen just now, it will be sweeter."

When Lin Xi heard this, he immediately took one in one gulp, because he was just experimenting, Jiang Yan was not big, small and round, just one in one bite.

"It's delicious! This one is even tastier! The filling inside is sweet, slippery, and fruity, and it tastes cold and delicious! If you take a bite, it will burst into pulp! ”

Lin Xi's excited eyes lit up, licked his lips and reminisced, looking at this beautiful pink fortune again, the longing in his eyes almost condensed into substance.

"Don't do much, two for one person, you divide it yourself, and then start the meal after eating."

Jiang Yan asked them to divide it by themselves, and took two of them to Old Man Lin, everyone gathered around the kitchen, Old Man Lin had inconvenient legs and feet, just sat quietly in the hall, looking at a table of dishes and several large bowls full of brown rice in amazement.

"Try my new food, it's similar to steamed buns."

Jiang Yan said and handed over the Dafu and the soft cake, Old Man Lin took it carefully, smelling the sweet and greasy fragrance, his mouth couldn't help secreting fresh saliva, he licked his chapped lips, and instinctively swallowed saliva.

"Since it's a livelihood that you use to sell money, I won't eat it, and it's a waste for an old man who has buried most of the loess to eat it, and he smells a lot of sugar, and you can sell it for a few more money if you keep it."

Old man Lin looked at Dafu with attractive colors, and only felt that this thing was really small and delicate, looking at the things that those big families used to eat, he was a mud leg in the countryside, where had he ever touched such a luxury.

Jiang Yan didn't care about him, just pushed the plate again: "You often taste it, you just made it, I don't know if it's delicious or not, a few children have eaten it again, this is for you." ”

Seeing this, Old Man Lin had no choice but to nod, his fingers were about to pinch a big fortune, but seeing that his fingers were black and rough, he changed directions, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and put them in his mouth.

As soon as he entered his mouth, the sweet and cold that burst open stimulated the entire Tianling Gai, and the old man Lin, who had lived all his life, opened his eyes wide and was full of shock, this was simply the most delicious pastry he had ever tasted! The filling in the middle is so sweet that people are reluctant to swallow it, and it is too delicious!

"It's delicious! I've lived all my life, and I haven't eaten such a good thing, second daughter-in-law, your craftsmanship is too good! ”

"I'm relieved that it's delicious, I'll take it to the town tomorrow to sell it and see if anyone likes it."

"I definitely like it, this sweet taste, I think it's delicious for an old man, and it's so small and beautiful, those nobles must like to eat it too!"

At this time, several children also came back, everyone sat on the table, talking about the deliciousness of the new food with laughter, Jiang Yan divided chicken legs and chicken for several children as usual, and everyone began to eat.

After the meal, Old Man Lin couldn't slow down for a long time, he kept touching his round belly, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and his eyes were red unconsciously, and he choked up and said thank you to Jiang Yan.

Since the abolition of his legs, he has seen too many people's warmth and coldness, his most beloved eldest son, increasingly tired of him, the old woman also looks down on him, all day long abuse and sprinkling, often three days hungry for a big meal, two days hungry for a small meal, today in the second daughter-in-law here a meal, is the best and fullest meal he ate after being disabled.

After sending off Old Man Lin, Jiang Yan planned to go up the mountain to see the water diversion bamboo raft built in the village, and by the way, she was looking for anything valuable.

It was still early, everyone set off separately with their backpacks, and Jiang Yan followed Lin Dong and Lin Xi, who were about to go to the ground, because they wanted to see the bamboo rows.

"The village chief is quite smart, so that when no one uses water at night, the water can be stored in this well."

Jiang Yan walked to the nearest well to her house, and watched the steady bamboo row with the foundation frame dug extending to the well, and the water flowed from top to bottom, just into the well.

"The village chief said, our village has five wells, just make five bamboo rows, and in three or five days, they can all be done, I discussed with my eldest brother, and I will work harder at night, carry some water to the fields, otherwise, just wait for God to rain, and the crops in the field will not be harvested this year."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he clasped his hands together, took some water and drank it, the water was still cold and sweet when it was in the mountains, and it had become warm when it flowed to this well.
