Chapter 58 Making Yam Cake

"Sister Lin Yuan, we have the mold!"

Sun Runchen picked up the mold on the verification table, held it in his hand as if it were a treasure, and his eyes were slightly pious.

Lin Yuan felt a little bit reluctant. After all, this mold was cheated from Tang Qianshuo. Not only was its origin unknown, but their actions might also hurt Tang Qianshuo's heart.

"Runchen, if Qian Shuo finds out later..."

Sun Runchen knew all of Lin Yuan's worries and concerns, and he interrupted her, "Sister Lin Yuan, this is a variety show, not to mention that this episode is a competitive variety show. Only with strategy can you win the final victory, and it will be interesting!"

"Tang Qianshuo must have participated in some such programs before. He knows the tricks here, so even if he finds out that he has been cheated, he won't mind. At most, he will nag you a few times and tell you not to worry. He is still very optimistic."

"real?"

After listening to Sun Runchen's explanation, Lin Yuan was still a little worried.

"Really? If he is really unhappy about this, I will go and apologize to him. This matter will naturally not affect the friendship between us."

With Sun Runchen's repeated assurances, Lin Yuan felt a little more at ease.

[High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey. 】

[Sun Runchen thought that Tang Qianshuo was on the first floor and he was on the second floor, but he didn't know that Tang Qianshuo was already on the third floor under Xu Zhao's arrangement. 】

[Sun Runchen thought his plan was successful, but he didn't expect that Xu Zhao had already planned for him. 】

[I hope Sun Runchen can maintain his optimism after finding out that he has been cheated. 】

"I can run faster. I'll go deliver the mold to the Imperial Kitchen first. You continue to look for materials."

Lin Yuan readily agreed. When two people work together, they naturally need to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses.

Sun Runchen had long legs and quickly arrived at the "Imperial Kitchen". After handing the mold to his cook, he left without looking back, completely unaware of Xu Zhao and Tang Qianshuo who arrived later.

Xu Zhao came to the side of the imperial chef in his group.

"Girl, the handsome boy is back so soon? My last name is Zhang, you can just call me Master Zhang or Sister Zhang."

The royal chef in Xu Zhao's group thought that he had not introduced himself yet, so he simply said his last name.

"Sister Zhang, let's learn how to make yam cake from you."

Xu Zhao briefly explained their group's plan.

After Tang Qianshuo's observation, Xu Zhao felt that his initial guess was correct. Sister Lin Yuan and Sun Runchen were in a group, and they had already taken away the mold that she had already verified.

Zhuan Zhuan and Brother Qiao are in a group, and she has already guessed their secret code.

Now this game is no longer difficult, and even for Xu Zhao, the winner has already been decided.

So why not use this time to learn these traditional pastries.

Tang Qianshuo also nodded and said, "Sister Zhang, I have seen these ingredients. There are many kinds of them. Do you want to make many kinds of yam cakes?"

In the eyes of these masters who make traditional pastries, those who are humble and eager to learn are all good children. They are willing to learn and naturally willing to teach.

"The program team prepared three kinds of ingredients for making yam cakes this time. I just took a look and our team found two complete ingredients."

"Then let's get started now."

Xu Zhao pulled Tang Qianshuo to the sink to wash his hands, wiped them clean and put on gloves.

"While you were away, I had already steamed the yams. It's almost time to take them out now."

Sister Zhang opened the lid of the steamer, and hot mist instantly gushed out of the steamer. As the vapor floated upwards, it gradually became thinner, like curling smoke or a thin green gauze.

After the mist had all dissipated, Xu Zhao saw the situation in the steamer clearly. The white and tender yam was cut into pieces and filled the entire steamer.

Sister Zhang rolled up the steamer cloth on the steamer very skillfully, and all the yams on this layer were gathered together. She then lifted it up with force and poured it into the basin that Sister Zhang had already washed.

"There are two more floors. You can try it."

Sister Zhang took two other identical basins and placed them in front of Xu Zhao and Tang Qianshuo.

This required both of them to follow her and do it together.

As soon as Tang Qianshuo touched the steamer cloth, he was burned by the hot steam coming out from underneath and quickly retracted his hand.

“It’s so hot!”

He looked at Sister Zhang's hands and admired her heat resistance. Is this the legendary iron sand palm?

Sister Zhang forgot that these stars have delicate skin, unlike those of them who are used to doing this kind of work.

Let her do this job.

Sister Zhang gently pushed Tang Qianshuo away and said, "Let me do it. You take the basin."

With another set of clean and neat movements, Sister Zhang put the remaining two layers of yam into the basin in front of the two guests.

"Then we will mash the steamed yams into paste while they are still hot."

With the previous experience as a lesson, Sister Zhang handed the two guests a spoon and said, "You two can use this to press it."

After that, Sister Zhang began to press the yam, "While pressing, put some sugar, cooked glutinous rice flour and milk into it."

Xu Zhao learned everything quickly and soon got the hang of it.

After the three of them finished pressing, Sister Zhang mixed the three pots of yam together.

"Now let's start coloring." Sister Zhang took a small piece of yam cake and said, "Add berry powder to this one and matcha powder to the other one."

"After adding the powder, mix well, and then take about 35g each," he said, pinching a little from the white yam paste and showing it to the two people for comparison, "About this amount."

After making three colors of yam dough balls, Sister Zhang stacked the three-color dough balls together and flattened them. She added a small piece of jujube paste prepared by the program team, gently closed the mouth and rolled it into a round shape, and put it into a gourd-shaped mold to press it into shape.

"Have you learned it?" Sister Zhang demonstrated it.

Xu Zhao nodded.

Tang Qianshuo: "The eyes say they have learned it, but the brain and hands may not."

Sister Zhang raised her eyebrows. This young man is quite honest.

"Qian Shuo, you will be responsible for the final pressing of the model. Sister Zhang and I will complete the previous steps."

Finally, pressing the model is a strenuous job that does not require any skills, so it is most appropriate to let Tang Qianshuo do it.

"good!"

"Sister Zhang, what's the name of this yam cake?" Xu Zhao saw that the surface of the yam cake had three colors stacked together, which looked very beautiful. Such a beautiful yam cake should have a nice name.

“This one uses matcha and berry powder. The name is usually based on the ingredients.”

"It's not called Matcha Berry Powder Yam Cake, is it?"

Tang Qianshuo understood it immediately and made a bold guess. When he saw Sister Zhang nod, he couldn't help but be surprised. It was such a simple and crude name.

"A name should be simple and clear. If it's too complicated, it's hard to remember."

"Then Sister Zhang, what is the name of the one you are making now?" Xu Zhao has completely taken over the first yam cake, and Sister Zhang has already started making the second one.

Sister Zhang is using butterfly pea flowers to color the yam paste. "The one I have has a better name, called Blue and White Porcelain Blueberry Cheese Yam Cake."
