On the day of the banquet, a night rain slightly reduced the continuous high temperature, and the long-lost cool weather in the capital.

The day before Yu Jian's banquet, he will inevitably let himself relax and sleep well.

A short moment after dawn, she opened her eyes and got up to move her muscles in the yard. When she was young, she was thin and weak, so the master taught her a health mantra, and with the moves, she felt a lot stronger and stronger.

The cook is a hard worker, he doesn't have any strength in his hands, but he can't even hold a spatula.

After a set of health exercises, a thin sweat was already on his forehead, and Yu Jian exhaled a turbid breath.

The sky has already brightened, and in a while it will be time for Dad Yu and them to get up, and it will be time to make breakfast.

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

"Jujube rice is steamed, see the flower is in", the nineteenth dessert in this roasted tail feast, is actually just an ordinary glutinous rice flour jujube cake, but today is a big day, a good omen for this dragon and phoenix.

Yu Jian clamped the scattered broken hair with a hairpin, cleaned her hands, and stood in the kitchen refreshingly.

Jujube noodles are fresh goods that I saw in the market yesterday, it is said to be a specialty in a remote town in the central part of the country, Yu Jian pinched a cluster and smelled it, the aroma of red dates is very strong, and the flour is slightly brownish-red.

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

Another ingredient is a bag of fresh glutinous rice noodles 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 hot water and stir first, and then add cold water several times.

Mixing and kneading the two flours, the color gradually changed to a beautiful pink, Yu Jian increased his strength, and his arms and wrists worked together to knead the dough.

The next step is to let the dough rise. Ancient fermentation was done in a stupid way, and it took about a day to let it ferment naturally.

Yu Jian found another way to put the dough next to the stove with the pot to greatly reduce the fermentation time. But how did the stove come in this summer, Yu Jian retreated and put the dough basin next to the steamer, and 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 that it resembles a dragon and a phoenix. Yu Jian grabbed two handfuls of dried red dates from the bag, the tip of the knife slashed through, the skin and flesh bloomed, and a slender core rolled to the side.

The back of the knife was stretched horizontally, and the flesh with the skin was spread flat on the board, and Yu Jian carefully slipped it, leaving a thin layer of jujube skin.

Crush the jujube meat, then add sugar and mix well. The remaining red dates cannot be wasted, and the core is removed for later use.

At this time, the dough had already swelled up a lot, and Yu Jian poked the softness with chopsticks, almost over.

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 jujube meat in each cake.

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

How long does it take to steam, and how long?

Yu Yuan smelled the fragrance of jujube wafting from the kitchen, and his saliva was about to flow out. With the same expression, there is also Dad Yu, who couldn't help but go out and eat a bowl of tofu brain.

Yu's father pulled a tissue for his son: "Wipe it, it's going to drip on the ground." ”

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

yes, how much longer?

Father Yu also turned to the kitchen, the smell was too tempting.

When the lid of the cage was opened, the pink and white cake at this time had been steamed slightly, and the jujube meat could be vaguely seen. Yu Jian directly took the steamer to the side to cool, took out a thin boning knife from the drawer, smeared the jujube paste, and made it on the jujube cake in one go.

This is incredible. A five-clawed golden dragon appeared on the jujube cake, and on the other side, it turned out to be a flying phoenix.

Yu Yuan couldn't wait any longer, as soon as her sister brought the steamer to the table, she grabbed a piece of it with a roar, and took a bite of it, and it was fragrant all over her body.

Dad Yu took a closer look, the transparent skin was full of red jujube meat, and the jujube mud dragon on the face was vivid, and there was one word at the entrance: sweet! But the sweetness is just right, this taste is unforgettable!

……

"Sister! Come on! "You can't bring children with you in the back kitchen, so Yu Yuan can only stand at the door to say goodbye to her sister.

Since my sister came, the level of food 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, just a pastry, and he can make dozens of different kinds of things over and over again.

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

Yu Yuan's child glanced at him seriously and pouted: "You are a soy sauce maker." ”

Turning his head and getting tired of Yu Jian, he hugged her thighs and rubbed: "Sister, bring me some delicious food when you come back." ”

Yu Jian knocked his little brain melon seeds and smiled silently.

The back kitchen was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

Yu Jianhu stepped in suspiciously, it was empty, and he touched the stove again, it was cold, and it seemed that there was no fire at noon.

"Daddy?" She shouted in confusion.

Father Yu silently took out his mobile phone and dialed a call: "What about you?" ”

The other party probably knew that he would make this call, but he was also very frank: "Master Yu, Boss Xiao Han said that Jinfu Building has distinguished guests today and is not open during the day." ”

"So...... Where are you? Where are the little apprentices? The green tendons on Dad Yu's forehead burst out.

Wang De laughed: "We? We're out there! Behave well tonight, I'm waiting for your good news! ”

As he spoke, he hung up the phone. Yu's father dialed again, but no one answered.

Father Yu concealed the sourness in the center, reluctantly smiled at Yu Jian, and comforted his daughter: "It's okay, the living father of the side dishes can be alone." ”

So......

Is this the struggle of the back kitchen? Yu Jian was a little incomprehensible. This Jin Fu Lou is simply dying.

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 bit of a hurry, there should still be a surplus.

The father and daughter hurriedly looked at each other, rolled up their sleeves and began to get busy.

Two hours later, Yu Jian finally finished processing all the ingredients, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, let's see if the lotus paste is still there!" ”

Since this Wang De can be such an old god, he must have expected that Yu's father will make a mistake. But the rest of the things didn't do anything, and the only thing that could move was the box of lotus paste.

Dad Yu probably realized something, and without saying a word, he went into the storage room and opened the refrigerator.

It's still there!

The stainless steel crisper lies quietly on the shelf.

But in the next second, his face changed suddenly, what about the bag on the crisper box?

He's got a bag!

Trembling as he opened the box, a strong sour smell hit the tip of his nose, and a thick layer of brown unknown liquid floated in it.

He took two steps back and barely stood with his back against the wall, and suddenly felt weak in his hands.

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

She hurriedly pushed open the door: "Dad, what's wrong with you?!" ”
