Chapter 167: New Year Cake
Knock knock——
After the call was disconnected, Ye Jiaojiao sat stupidly on the edge of the bed, holding her laptop.
Ye Xiao knocked on the door and came in to see Ye Jiaojiao's infatuated look. He suddenly had a bad feeling: "Who were you talking to just now?"
"It's Si Ming." Ye Jiaojiao's heart beat faster when she uttered the name. Her eyes were slightly evasive. Before Ye Xiao could catch her and continue to question her, she rushed out from beside him: "I'm going to make something to eat!"
Ye Xiao didn't intend to let Ye Jiaojiao go so easily. He always felt that something happened to Ye Jiaojiao while he was cleaning the restaurant and the kitchen, so he followed her.
Seeing Ye Jiaojiao blocking the freezer, not knowing what she was picking, he mistakenly thought she was hungry so quickly: "It's not even ten o'clock yet, and you're hungry?"
"No, these are to be sent out." Because of Si Ming, Ye Jiaojiao would make some cakes and sweets and store them at home. Thinking of the situation at the research institute, she reluctantly took out half of Si Ming's sweets, and packed the small cakes one by one into the packing box, ready to send them out.
Because he was too focused, he didn't notice that Ye Xiao's expression was a little ferocious: "Ye Jiaojiao, you are not going to send these to that Major General Si, are you? He doesn't need a bite of your food!"
Ye Xiao thought that if Ye Jiaojiao answered yes, he would eat all the cakes in the freezer in a moment.
Make a batch and eat it all, leaving someone with nothing to eat!
"It's not for Si Ming." Ye Jiaojiao packed the small cakes and made an appointment for a delivery person on her computer. After making all the arrangements, she turned to Ye Xiao and grinned, "Si Ming is not in the capital recently. I will make it for him when he comes back."
Ye Xiao: “.” No, isn’t this the point?
Is Ye Jiaojiao really planning to bring him a brother-in-law this time?
Or his brother-in-law, whom he probably couldn't defeat.
So angry.
-
The delivery person came to pick up the package quickly. After sending the person away, Ye Jiaojiao bought a batch of ingredients on Star Online. It was just past 11 o'clock, so she chose to start the broadcast early.
With a ding-dong sound, the live broadcast room opens.
Fans who followed the live broadcast room of [I am a Chef] received a push notification.
The big screen was filled with audience IDs and various system prompts.
Ye Jiaojiao is now a contracted anchor. Lanqi Live has assigned her several manual room managers. At first glance, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room seems particularly harmonious.
[Huh? It's actually airing now?]
[Miss! Is today a good day? It actually started early? Luckily I turned on notifications, otherwise I would have missed a lot!]
[Good morning, host. Am I not late? ]
[Ahhh, Miss Anchor, I haven't gotten off work yet. I was secretly following the live broadcast and didn't turn on the hologram. Can you open the tasting function later? ]
[I also need some time to process the report I have on hand.]
[Hahaha, I'm a student and I'm already on vacation, so I'm not afraid.]
[Is the young lady going to broadcast early because she wants to make some amazing food? ]
"We're starting the show early because we'll prepare a bit more for today. It won't affect everyone. You should get busy and don't delay your work." After greeting the group of people going to work, Ye Jiaojiao posted today's menu on the bulletin board:
"I suddenly realized that I rarely broadcast vegetarian dishes, so today I specially prepared two lighter dishes without any meat. One is stir-fried rice cake with shepherd's purse, one is lotus root with glutinous rice and sweet osmanthus, and the last one is twice-cooked pork. I hope you will like it."
After two vegetarian dishes were served, the meat-loving audience immediately became noisy and ignored the last dish of twice-cooked pork that Ye Jiaojiao added.
Why should we be vegetarian?
【I want to eat meat! Eat meat, eat meat, eat meat! 】
[Host, only lop-eared rabbits like those lush green grasses. We don't like them. We like to eat meat, big chunks of it.]
[Miss, can't we discuss this further?]
Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root is also known as honey glutinous rice lotus root.
It is one of the eight major cuisines and can also be considered a Chinese dessert.
The taste is sweet and soft, with a strong osmanthus aroma.
Ye Jiaojiao thought she could use this dish as an appetizer, so she started with the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root dish. "Exotic animals and plants are all rich in nutrients. Things like brown sugar, osmanthus, and honey should also be eaten. It's not good to be picky about food!"
After joking, Ye Jiaojiao cut off one end of the lotus root node and set it aside, exposing the lotus root holes. She then washed away the mud and sand in the holes, drained the water, and crushed the rock sugar for later use.
After processing all these, wash the glutinous rice clean, dry it, pour the glutinous rice into the cut part of the lotus root, plug the end tightly with bamboo chopsticks, then close the cut lotus root node at the cut part, and tie it tightly with small bamboo sticks to prevent the rice from leaking.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then switch to low heat and cook until the lotus root is 50% hot, add a little alkali and continue cooking until the lotus root turns red, then take it out and let it cool.
The lotus root is red when it comes out of the pot. When it cools down and the brightness decreases a little, the core is ready. Finally, Ye Jiaojiao boils the honey juice mixed with sugar osmanthus and honey, and pours it over the sliced glutinous rice lotus root.
Ye Jiaojiao shared a small portion of sweet-scented osmanthus and glutinous rice with lotus root in the livestream. She kept an eye on the comments section while explaining the process: "Osmanthus is warm in nature, and lotus root is rich in trace elements and plant protein. It also contains brown sugar and honey, which are all very good for the body. Everyone, give it a try! This dish is on the sweet side, so people with a sweet tooth will definitely like it."
Looking at this dish of glutinous rice with sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root, Ye Jiaojiao thought of Si Ming.
Si Ming likes to eat sweets very much.
Unfortunately, he is not in the capital star now.
Live broadcast room comment area——
This dish does look pretty. The outer layer is a bit like a ruby, shiny and bright. It tastes sweet too. It's quite nice.
[It's delicious, but a bit greasy. I don't like sweet things very much.]
【I have a sweet tooth and I love this dish! 】
[Ahhhhhh, anchor, anchor, there's someone behind you! ]
[Oh wow, who is this who suddenly appeared? ]
[Could it be the top guy on the list? The top guy on the list hasn't appeared in a long time.]
Ye Xiao stepped into the kitchen after hearing the noise, glanced in the direction of the big screen in the live broadcast room, and then looked away: "Do you need help?"
[This voice sounds familiar, is it the host's younger brother?]
[My younger brother hasn't appeared much lately, I almost forgot about him.]
[Is this young lady's early broadcast today because of her brother? That's great! I also want a sister like this, with a gentle voice and delicious cooking.]
[Eating glutinous rice lotus root with sweet osmanthus, I shed tears of envy]
Ye Jiaojiao told Ye Xiao that she was busy enough and handed him the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, asking him to try it. Turning around, she saw people in the comment section talking about Ye Xiao: "He just had his holiday, and you might see him more often from now on."
Live broadcast room comment area——
[Will the little sister and little brother stay in the capital planet from now on? ]
"Yeah." The old fans in the live broadcast room knew that she had changed the location and was currently in the capital star. Ye Jiaojiao did not hide it. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, she started to prepare the next dish:
"Stir-fried rice cake with shepherd's purse is a staple food with a fresh and fragrant taste. The main ingredients are rice cake and shepherd's purse. In ancient China, rice cake was also called Nian Nian Gao. It is a seasonal food for the Lunar New Year. During the Spring Festival, every household will eat rice cake."
