"When making snacks, you need to get medicinal ingredients from home? Do you think your father is that illiterate man? Can he teach you this trick in a few words!"
Yan Guangyuan felt deeply embarrassed, grabbed his son's hand and walked to the back hall. He bumped into Mr. Yan who was about to come out for a consultation.
"Why are you angry with Bowen?"
Old Master Yan glanced at him indifferently, and Yan Guangyuan's anger suddenly dropped by three points, and he was speechless.
"Let's talk after you come in."

The three of them came to the back hall. Yan Bowen didn't wait for his father to complain, but he said first, "Miss Zhuang is studying pastries recently. I just helped buy some medicinal materials, and I didn't do anything shameful."
When Yan Guangyuan heard that his son had done this and had something to do with Zhuang Keqing, he was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He angrily shouted: "What kind of ecstasy soup did this girl give you? You hang out with her every day and do some unknown things."
s things!"
He yelled here and blushed, but over there, Mr. Yan just raised his hand and said, "Guangyuan, be quiet, you are too noisy."
"father?!"
Yan Guangyuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief.
Dad actually thinks he is noisy?
Could it be that I am no longer my father’s eldest son?!
He was still doubting his life, but Mr. Yan had no time to pay attention to him. He just looked at his grandson and asked in a deep voice: "Making cakes? What medicinal ingredients does she want?"
Yan Bowen panicked when he heard this.
It's over, it can be said that the secret was revealed just now.

Normally, medicinal materials are not needed to make cakes. Now that I was caught red-handed, I wonder if my grandpa will be angry.
It's a minor matter to get angry, but if he can't get the medicinal materials by then, he will lose face in front of Miss Zhuang.
The grandson didn't answer for a long time, and Mr. Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, even his eyes were serious.
Feeling so stressed by this look, Yan Bowen could only hesitantly say: "It's just ordinary Poria, Huaishan, Gorgon, and Atractylodes."
"Nothing special."
After finishing speaking, the young man wanted to explain a few words, but Mr. Yan raised his hand and stopped him.
These four herbs are indeed common. Although there are slight differences, they all have the effect of strengthening the spleen. If they are really used to make cakes, there is nothing wrong with them.
"The Gorgon Rice Cake a few days ago was just an act of this young banker's girl?"
Yan Bowen thought his grandpa was angry, but he didn't bother with the medicinal ingredients. Instead, he turned around and asked about the Gorgon Cake, and he guessed it right away.
He secretly raised his eyes to look at Grandpa Ji, and when he saw that his face was as usual, showing no sign of blame or anger, he relaxed.

"Ah, grandpa, you have guessed it."
"Miss Zhuang just wants to make delicious and healthy pastries. I see that the four herbs she found have mild medicinal properties, so I am willing to help. If you don't agree, then I will refuse."
He said this, but in his heart he was already thinking about where to get these medicinal materials.
How about privately finding shopkeeper Li who supplies the goods? But the quantity I want is small, so I don’t know if they will agree to it.
"No need to refuse."
Um……
Um?
For a moment, Yan Bowen thought there was something wrong with his ears.
"Wha, what?"
The young man was still surprised and looked at Mr. Yan with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Go and take away the needed medicinal materials. When the cakes are ready, bring a portion back to grandpa."
The first sentence may have been misheard by him, but the latter sentence was enough to leave Yan Bowen speechless.
"Ah, grandpa?"
When did grandpa become as greedy as him? He actually asked for cakes to eat?
"Go ahead. If this cake is done well and if you need anything else later, feel free to tell me."
Old Master Yan said indifferently, then stood up, obviously not intending to say anything more, leaving his son and grandson standing in the back hall, staring at each other in silence.
…
The banker's courtyard.
With the medicinal materials brought by Yan Bowen, Zhuang Keqing and Lu Qingshu worked hard the next day, grinding powder and mixing fillings, and finally made the Bazhen cake. Perhaps the medicinal powder was not sticky, or for some other reason.
The steamed cake body is more than solid, but not soft enough. It tastes average and the texture is even worse.
"Miss Zhuang, this doesn't seem to work."

Lu Qingshu pinched a piece of Bazhen cake, took another bite, and then frowned. "It's too hard."
Zhuang Keqing was also aware of this problem.
Not to mention how excellent the cakes at Lai Fu Ji are, the Bazhen cake they are steaming now is not even as good as the Gorgon cake last time. If this is sold, even if it has some benefits to the body, it will be useless.
People care about it.
"What can we do?"
Lu Qingshu couldn't help but have a look of worry on her face, and the confidence brought about by the success of the Gorgon Cake the day before yesterday was reduced a bit.
"Sister-in-law Lu, don't be in a hurry."
Zhuang Keqing comforted him, then he sat at the small table, took a piece of cake in his hand, broke off a piece and rubbed it gently.
It's indeed a bit thicker.
However, there is no solution at all.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Zhuang Keqing put down the Bazhen cake in his hand, stood up, and walked to the kitchen to ask.

"Mom, is there any flour at home?"
"There is a small bag under the cupboard. It is reserved for Aman to make egg dumplings. You can use it if you want. I will buy it tomorrow."
Qin Manzhi didn't know that the Bazhen cake had failed today, but although she was anxious, she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she took out the flour bag and asked her daughter if she wanted to add more flour to try.
"If you want to add it, you should add rice flour. Why use flour?"
Lu Qingshu was really puzzled.
This Bazhen cake is already strong enough. If you add flour and mix it, it will become a lump of dough. It will be harder and harder to eat than it is now.
"Sister-in-law Lu, I just thought of some ways to solve this problem."
Zhuang Keqing smiled, and there was no sign of failure on her face. She did not immediately explain what method she had thought of, but smiled and took the noodle bag from her mother, then went into the kitchen and fetched three eggs.
"This is……"
This time, not only Lu Qingshu, but also Qin Manzhi was confused.

It’s both flour and eggs, so how can you make cakes? I’ve never seen anyone make cakes that also add eggs.
This, can this be delicious?
But Zhuang Keqing didn't care. She put all the ingredients on the small table, took the remaining Bazhen powder and some flour and mixed it. Then she mixed the egg yolk and clear oil and added water. Finally, she sifted in the flour and mixed it into a fine consistency.
of egg paste, and the remaining egg whites were put into another basin.
"Girl, this egg paste..."
Lu Qingshu was embarrassed to say that the egg batter was too thin and would not be able to form at all. She was just thinking about how to speak. Over there, Zhuang Keqing got into the kitchen again, took out three chopsticks, and held them in his hands.
Holding the bowl of egg whites is a wild stir-fry.
???
What does this mean?
This time it was even more incomprehensible. Lu Qingshu simply stopped thinking about asking again and just waited silently to see what kind of cake Zhuang Keqing could use this new method to make later.
"Mom, help me light the stove. I'll need it later."
Zhuang Keqing gave instructions without raising his head, and concentrated on beating until the egg whites were swollen and fine, and the volume was more than three times larger.

"This, this is egg white?!"
Everything that happened before her eyes was like magic, and it was obviously beyond the scope of Lu Qingshu's understanding.
However, the whites of the three eggs were obviously transparent and viscous, but after being stirred by Miss Zhuang, they actually became light and delicate. Compared with before, they were two different things.
In late autumn, Zhuang Keqing had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, but she didn't notice it at all. Instead, she mixed the beaten egg whites with the previous Bazhen egg yolk paste, stirred carefully and evenly, and then put it into the container.
The water in the kitchen had already boiled and the baskets had been placed. It was not until the prepared Bazhen cake paste was carefully put in that Zhuang Keqing let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally finished, she thought her arm was going to be useless.
There was a blazing fire in the stove, and soon the aroma of eggs spread out, but it was completely different from the fragrance of the steamed gorgon cake before.
Two quarters of an hour later, the fragrance became more and more intense. Zhuang Keqing thought that time was almost up, so he went into the kitchen, turned off the furnace, and opened the drawer.
The sweet fragrance instantly overflowed into the air, and the small kitchen could not hold it all, and it floated along the chimney throughout Tianshui Alley.
In this day and age, most pastries are made cold. How can they be so sweet and alluring? Just smelling them will make you drool.

The neighbors in Tianshui Lane all sniffed and sniffed, and some even opened the door to see which restaurant was cooking.
