Lu Ke thought it was already gratifying enough to be able to reunite with his relatives, but he didn't expect that his cousin would bring such a big surprise.

Not only is it well-made tofu in Yangzhou area, but it also has excellent cooking skills.

The Lu family has only one daughter like him. Although Lu Ke had married to the capital before, he had given birth to a child before, but the child died shortly after he died.

I originally thought that the Lu family's dim sum craftsmanship would be over in her generation. Even if it was passed on, I would have to accept an apprentice. But then I was just an outsider after all, but now Chen Nian has such a high level of understanding, and this craft is a successor.

You should know that there are hundreds of ways to make dim sum in the Lu family, some of which are from Jiangsu, and some are from other places in their early years when his father went to other places to learn.

"That's great!" Lu Ke was overjoyed, "Do you want to learn to make snacks with me? I can teach you everything I know."

When Chen Nian heard this, he immediately sighed in his heart: "It turns out that my relatives are the closest to each other!"

Although he came here to learn crafts, he didn't speak at all this time. His cousin planned to teach him all the craftsmanship."

"Think!" Chen Nian nodded heavily. Now that he is a fool.

Agedan is naturally very willing to learn craftsmanship. Although this kind of dessert and pastry is different from the cooking and stir-fry that he uses most often, many things are based on analogy.

For example, when cooking, you need to add starch, and the ratio of starch to water can be used, which can actually be referenced from the white table. For example, when making squirrel mandarin, you need to wrap a layer of starch paste on the outside, but after wrapping the starch paste, it will be fryed in the oil pan for a long time to cook inside without overheating, and the surface is not burnt, which is also a matter of attention.

What's more, I'm opening a restaurant now, so maybe I'll sell some desserts in the future?

As for the aging of sour plum soup, I am not particularly anxious. As long as I am sure that I can learn it here, it is just a matter of time.

After Lu Ke saw Chen Nian nodding and agreeing, he couldn't help feeling relieved.

"Then you will learn to make snacks from now on. You are younger and smarter than me. You will definitely be able to do better than me in the future." Lu Ke said from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Nian was praised so hard that his little face turned red and felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the topic: "Cousin, why don't you try the soft cake we made before and see where I have any shortcomings."

"Okay." Lu Ke nodded.

Then Chen Nian gently picked up the soft fragrant cake made by Lu Ke with his hands.

The touch is very soft and delicate. Since it was just out of the pot, it was still a little warm at this time, so he didn't even dare to use force, for fear that if he used force, he would crush the soft and fragrant cake and destroy the beauty.

Carefully observe that the soft cake is light green in color, as if it had just been revitalized in the early spring when everything is revived. The tender green grass buds extracted from the ground, fooling a breeze, and the young grasses lie on the ground without the wind, blending into the earth.

From a distance, they have no individual differences, all of them are integrated into such a soft ointment.

Just by looking at the naked eye, you can feel the chill in it. In addition, there are some sesame seeds on it. It seems like I have just experienced a fine spring snow. The tiny snowflakes have not yet completely melted, and they look extremely delicate.

While admiring, there is a faint fragrance that is close and distant. If you smell it carefully with your nose, it seems that there is nothing. But if you keep it away from it, it will penetrate into your nostrils and stir up your nerves.

For this exquisite pastry, A Nian has always been a habit of eating it into her mouth in one bite. Unless she needs to bite it open to see what kind of filling it is inside, A Nian will only be divided into two bites.

Put a piece of soft and fragrant cake directly into your mouth, which will be cool in your mouth, sweet but not greasy, and light but more refined.

Cut it gently with your teeth, and the mint tastes even more. No wonder it is a pastry suitable for summer.

In this era without ice cream, it would be a good thing to eat a few soft cakes in extremely hot weather.

I think it's so beautiful.

Moreover, my cousin didn’t add much sugar to it just now, but it just brought a hint of sweetness to it, so it won’t feel greasy at all when it tastes.

In addition, the glutinous rice flour and stem rice flour are perfectly blended into this soft and fragrant cake, which will not stick to the teeth at all. Instead, it tastes extremely refreshing and crisp with the mint.

"It's delicious." Chen Nian exclaimed from the bottom of his heart while eating, as if he was back when he was a child, and went back to his hometown in the village with his parents.

As a result, before I stayed at home for a long time, I was called out to play by my playmates in the village. Originally, the adults wanted to eat two pieces of pastries at home, but because of their eagerness to play, I had to take two pieces in one hand and stuff them into my mouth while running around the village.

It turns out that the snacks made in ancient times are so delicious!

The taste is not worse than that of modern ones.

Then Chen Nian went to eat what he made himself, and the taste was almost as good.

Chen Nian took a look at the recipe in his mind at this time. This soft cake was also recorded, and there was an extra column of snacks in the subsequent classification.

Soft balm 1 98%.

It's not difficult, Chen Nian thought so.

In the next morning, Chen Nian helped Lu Ke to make pastries while remembering some of the pastry making steps he was interested in in the small notebook in his mind. Although he still can't do every detail, he can learn from real knowledge after practicing it. He tried it a few more times sooner or later.

It was almost noon, and a man in the shape of a servant came to the store: "Shopkeeper Lu, I'll buy some pastries, half a pound of 100 fruit cake, half a pound of chickpea cake, three ounces of snowflake cake, one pound of spring cake, and I'd like to send it to our mansion in the afternoon. This is the dessert money, and the money is given to you first."

"Okay." Lu Ke nodded.

Although some wealthy families use monthly payments to pay, some families do not come to buy them every day, so they will pay them once.

Chen Nian looked at him from the back, and for some reason, after Lu Ke finished speaking, he turned to look at him with a smile.

"Xiao Nian, please help me in the afternoon. Their family occasionally comes to me to buy it. They are considered old customers. And many nobles and wealthy families often ask for snacks to be delivered. I always ran away by myself before, but when the store comes, no one will watch me. This time you have to work hard and you can help me run away."

"Okay." Chen Nian nodded. Isn't it just a errand? "But sister, why are you talking to me about hard work or not? It's more common."

Chen Nian also thought that he could go to the houses of those officials to check out.

Although I visited some gardens before when I was in Yangzhou, they were basically preserved from ancient times to modern times, and may have undergone some antique restoration by modern technology in the middle.

But this time it was a real family of ancient officials.

At noon, Chen Nian went out to buy some vegetables, meat and tofu and came back. He made a simple portion of Wensi tofu and stir-fryed a dish with mutton and scallions.

Lu Ke looked at the pot of clouds and mist, and couldn't help but be amazed: "Little New Year, your skills may be a bit in my mind. Even those restaurants in Chang'an may be difficult to make tofu shreds like you."

"My cousin has been awarded, this is not difficult, just practice more." Chen Nian scratched his head with a smile.

After a few days, he and Lu Ke got along well, mainly because Lu Ke treated him like his younger brother, and he would always follow him if he had any food and drink.

In the past few days since she came to Chang'an, she had already bought several new clothes for Chen Nian. Every day when she was working and making pastries, she would make it by herself, for fear that Chen Nian would be tired.

When I called Chen Nian, I also whispered softly every time I spoke to an adult, there was a smile between my eyebrows and eyes.

Humans are emotional animals, so adults quickly accepted the fact that they had such an older sister.

Besides, calling me cousin is easier than calling my parents.

However, after hearing what Chen Nian said, Lu Ke was stunned: "It's not difficult?"

"Xiao Nian, do you have any misunderstandings about the word "It's not difficult"?"

“Is there any?”

"Yes!" Lu Ke nodded helplessly. She felt that Chen Nian probably didn't know the value of his own craftsmanship now. "Xiao Nian, let's tell you, let's not talk about other things for now. Just the craftsmanship of making Wensi Tofu, there will definitely be something that can be done in the entire Chang'an City, but there are definitely not many!

When your brother-in-law's family was not yet ruined, I had eaten many precious dishes and tried many famous chefs' skills. With your skills, no matter how you go to any restaurant in Chang'an, they will definitely rush to ask for it!"

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Chen Nian was also a little surprised. Although he was valued by the boss of Ruyilou when he was in Yangzhou, and later Wensi tofu in Ruyilou became a well-known soup dish, this was in Chang'an!

"That's right, don't you think this is in Chang'an, but your craft is not something that ordinary people can do with more practice. There are many cooks, but God doesn't give many people to eat. If Xiao Nian, you'd better not help me. My sister will introduce you to a big restaurant. If you go there, you will definitely earn more than your sister, and you will have more room to play."

But how could Chen Nian do this when he heard it?

I came here to learn how to make sour plum soup. If I went to other places, how could I have time to learn this?

Besides, the recipe has arranged a cousin for myself, which means that my cousin's craftsmanship must be unique.

If you leave yourself...

Isn't that going in the opposite direction?

When you enter a dream, the main purpose of aging is to learn the dishes arranged in a systematic way. In addition, it is to experience life in other time and space, and learn some other things by the way, rather than actually coming to work.

Besides, you won’t be fat if you eat it in one bite.

Even if I know ten thousand dishes, I can’t get busy and I don’t have that much money to expand the store again.

At that time, Chen Nian didn’t want to be a worker and didn’t want Honghong Hotel to remain silent, so she chose to open a store.

"Cousin, let's forget it. Compared to those restaurants, I still prefer small shops like ours. Being with relatives is more important than anything else, right?" Chen Nian said.

But Lu Ke was stunned when he heard this, Niannian said, "Yes... being with his relatives is more important than anything else... You are right."

As he said that, his eyes were a little red and his nose was twitching slightly.

He turned around and hugged the adult: "I'm sorry, my sister shouldn't say that. You and I have finally met each other. Now that we are here, even if we are a little harder and tired, we will at least have no worries about food and drink."

The voice was choked, but it had some guaranteed meaning.

Feeling the warmth from family affection, Chen Nian couldn't help but think of his family. When he was a child, his father would always carry himself on his shoulders and turn around every time he went out to play.

My mother was smiling and watching the whole family happily.

But when I grew up, my father died of illness, and my son wanted to raise him but his parents were not waiting.

Although my mother is still so optimistic all day long, sometimes the old woman can be seen in the kitchen, and sometimes my mother looks a little lonely when she looks at her phone.

You should know that my mother never read novels before, especially the type of bully-selling wife, because before her father passed away, her father was the boss of her mother, and her mother was spoiled like a little bitch.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel moved by the scene. He raised his hand and patted Lu Ke on the back: "Sister, it's okay, aren't we reunited now?"

Chen Nian can only say this now, saying that now, not the future.

Because he thought that there would be one day when he would be separated in the future, and he would not be able to stay here for the rest of his life, and he might not be able to come back next time.

"Oh, you are still young now. My sister's only wish now is to watch you get a wife and have a baby. My sister can also watch you. After all, my sister has been married for so long and hasn't really held a child."

Aged: “???”
