Holding the jasmine plant, Chen Niannian walked into the kitchen.

Because she had already arranged for the servant to cook today, there was no one in the kitchen.

The meals are relatively easy. Today, Chen Nian Nian mainly wants to make crystal cakes.

Because there are already prepared side dishes in the kitchen, it can be regarded as saving more than half of the time of aging.

Cooking is not troublesome, but the most troublesome thing is the crystal cake.So Chen Niannian decided to make crystal cake first.

Remove the root of jasmine, wash it, and set it aside.

Then the other steps of making crystal cakes began in the old year.

In fact, the most difficult thing about this crystal cake is not the method, but the ingredients and proportions.

The most important material for making crystal cakes is to adjust the ratio of glutinous rice flour, water and sugar, neither too much nor too little.

In the past, when I watched my grandma make crystal cakes, I always liked to use a bowl as a container.

Mix two bowls of glutinous rice flour with half a bowl of water, and then add diluted sugar water.

This must be water, only water can better blend with glutinous rice flour and water.

However, white sugar is not used in Chenniannian, because sometimes it is difficult to control the amount of white sugar, and it will be too sweet if you are not careful.

So Chen Niannian finally chose to put honey instead of white sugar, because honey is not as sweet as white sugar, and its nutritional value is also higher than white sugar. Moreover, adding honey can increase more sweetness than white sugar.

When Chen Niannian was young, because honey was more expensive, grandma always used white sugar, but she occasionally heard her grandma say that it tastes better with honey, so Chen Niannian also thought of using honey this time.

After mixing them all together, it's just a small start, which is the crust of the crystal cake.

The essence of the crystal cake lies in the filling inside.

Ordinary snacks like crystal cakes are called Qingtuan or glutinous rice balls by most people. Most of the inside is filled with red bean paste, or similar to Qingtuan. The glutinous rice flour on the outside is squeezed into juice with wormwood. The outer skin is made after kneading with glutinous rice flour.

Of course, this is just a common practice. There is a unique reason why crystal cakes are called crystal cakes, and they are naturally different from ordinary dim sum.

Not only is the method different, but even the appearance is very different.

Ordinary cakes are white on the outside, but the red bean paste inside is easily exposed from the white skin on the outside, while the crystal cake is white from the outside to the inside, and the skin on the outside is crystal clear. It is clear, so it is called crystal cake.

Of course, the name Crystal Cake has no other meanings, because it was the old grandmother who looked at the crystal cake very interestingly that called him Crystal Cake.

The filling of the crystal cake is mixed with egg white and icing sugar, and then mixed with some jasmine juice.

Finally, put the stuffing in the refrigerator to freeze for a while to form, and then wrap it with skin.

After finishing all this, Chen Niannian sprinkled the last little jasmine juice on the surface of the crystal cake, and then put it in the pot to steam.

It takes about 30 minutes to steam, and it will be a little old if it is too much.It must be steamed just right, and the heat must be well controlled.

So crystal cake is a very technical test.

Relying on the method in memory, Chen Niannian tried his best to restore the method and dosage of crystal cake according to grandma's method and dosage, just to find the most familiar taste in memory.

While the crystal cake was steaming on the pot, Chen Nian Nian went to prepare some other dishes.

After finishing all this, it was just time for dinner. Chen Niannian brought all these dishes to the table by himself, but Gu Chen and Mr. Gu hadn't come down yet.

So Chen Niannian went upstairs to call Gu Chen down for dinner, and then asked Zhang Xiao to call Mr. Gu down for dinner.

Gu Chen was not sleeping, but was looking at the information given to him by the old man.

He didn't have time to read it from last night to this morning, so he just took advantage of this time to watch it.

But when Gu Chen just saw the previous information, he was already extremely surprised.

It turns out that the Gu family known to everyone is just the tip of the iceberg of the Gu family, and these are only one-tenth of the information Gu Chen saw that Mr. Gu gave him. I don't know what is more shocking behind it. Things are waiting for Gu Chen.

"It's time to eat!" Just as Gu Chen was about to continue looking down, Chen Niannian came up, and when he came in, he called Gu Chen to eat with a gentle voice, how could Gu Chen refuse?

Putting down the materials in his hand, he said to Chen Niannian: "Let me guess what delicious food you made." Gu Chen smelled the smell of Chen Niannian, and then said to Chen Niannian: "You must have made something delicious." Sweet and sour pork ribs! Right?"

It seemed as if she was caught by Gu Chen, Chen Niannian was a little embarrassed, she did make sweet and sour pork ribs, which was her favorite dish.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's go down to eat." Seeing Chen Niannian with a reddish complexion, Gu Chen stopped making fun of Chen Niannian, and said he wanted to go down to eat.

In fact, he still looks forward to the meal cooked by Chen Nian Nian.

When he first came to the human world, he used to cook for him every year. Thinking of the two of them getting angry because of hundreds of dollars, Gu Chen thinks it's funny when he thinks about it now.

Maybe in his eyes, as long as he is with Chen Niannian, even if they pick up trash together, they will be happy and happy.

When the two of them went down, Mr. Gu wasn't there.

"Uncle Zhang, where's the master? Why don't you come down to eat?" Chen Niannian asked curiously.

Now it's time for dinner, it stands to reason that I should come down to eat, why don't I come down.

"Back to Young Madam, the master said that he is not feeling well. He doesn't want to eat today. He wants to rest upstairs for a while. Let you and the young master eat first. He will naturally come down to eat when he is hungry." Zhang Xiao quoted the original words of Master Gu. It was conveyed to Chen Niannian and Gu Chen.

No matter how tired you are, you can't skip eating.

What's more, after a busy morning, Master Gu didn't even drink his saliva, how could his body hold on?
When he came down to eat, the food would probably be completely cold, so it wouldn't taste good.

"Well, Uncle Zhang, go and put these meals in the tableware, and then send them up to Mr. Gu. If the meal gets cold, it won't taste good. Let him eat some." I still think it would be better to send some food to Mr. Gu.

So he arranged for Zhang Xiao to deliver some of these dishes to Mr. Gu, since she and Gu Chen were the only ones eating, and they couldn't eat much.

"Yes." Zhang Xiao readily agreed.

In fact, Mr. Gu is also a little anxious if he doesn't eat. How can he not eat at such an age?What's more, Mr. Gu's health is not good. If he doesn't eat, his body will not be able to bear it.

According to Chen Niannian's instructions, he sent all kinds of dishes to Mr. Gu, including the crystal cake.
