Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

But everything should be done in moderation. Eating too much sweets can easily lead to a "sweet" burden.

"The origin of Yin lies in the five flavors; the five palaces of Yin are damaged by the five flavors. Therefore, excessive sweetness causes the heart to become short and full, the complexion to become dark, and the kidney Qi to become unbalanced."

Eating too much sweet food will cause irritability and shortness of breath, and will also affect the balance of kidney qi, leading to problems such as dark complexion.

Therefore, Cheng Yuntao doesn’t make much sweets on a daily basis, and their main purpose is to satisfy people’s cravings.

A plate of candied sweet potatoes was almost finished after each person took a few chopsticks. Shen Shulan held up his chopsticks with a look of reluctance on his face, obviously not having eaten enough.

The world's delicacies and the people in the world generally have similar circumstances.

Those foods that accompany us day and night and appear at every meal are like old friends who are so familiar that no further words are needed. Over time, they will inevitably lose their luster in the dull repetition and dull the expectations and surprises that may have once existed.

Instead, it is those delicacies that streak across the night sky of life like shooting stars, which only appear for a fleeting moment, or can only be tasted once or twice, just like a dragonfly skimming the water, but they leave the most profound and indelible mark in the long river of time.

In the long river of time, people's memories will inadvertently repeatedly carve and carefully polish the initial glimpse and taste.

After it becomes a beautiful moment, whenever you look back, it exudes an enchanting aura that makes people obsessed with it and unforgettable.

Shen Shulan now feels that every meal he eats in this cave is much more delicious than before. When he thinks that he will not be able to eat these delicacies after returning to Junhua City, his mood suddenly becomes a little depressed.

Before, she always wanted to find an opportunity to say goodbye to Cheng Yuntao, but at this moment, she really couldn't bear to leave.

But there are still too many mysteries waiting for her to solve in Junhua City, and her mother is also in the City Lord's Mansion. No matter what the reason is, she can't continue to waste time.

Shen Shulan put away the reluctance in his heart, regained his former calmness and composure, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said solemnly to Cheng Yuntao.

"Miss Yuntao, thank you for taking care of me these past two days. Thanks to you treating my wounds and making soup for me, I was able to recover so quickly."

"My wounds have scabbed over and I've recovered a lot of my strength. It's time to go back. I'm afraid the longer I stay here, the more trouble will happen in the city."

"As for what you asked me to do, don't worry. I will help you with it when I get back. After I finish dealing with things in the city, I will escort you here personally. By then, I hope you don't mind me coming to eat for free again."

After spending these two days together, Cheng Yuntao quite liked Shen Shulan. Moreover, since she had done her such a big favor, she felt a lot more relaxed. How could she possibly refuse her?

"You're a lucky person, blessed by fate. You're fine even after falling from such a high cliff. I only know some simple pharmacology, and I can't treat more complicated injuries. Luckily, the wound on your shoulder was just a simple skin wound, not poisonous, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save you."

"As for such a small matter as eating for free, that's easy to say. If you like my cooking, I promise to make more delicious food for you next time you come."

"I'll show you the way down the mountain later. If I remember correctly, we're not too far from Junhua City. If you're fast, you might be there tomorrow."

"Oh, that's right! You have to hurry and you can't be without some dry food! Sit for a while and I'll make you some bread to eat on the way."

Cheng Yuntao slapped his head, remembered this key issue, and hurried back to the stove to work.

Be a good person to the end and see the good things through. Since you have already helped so much, it doesn't matter if you put in a little more effort.

Besides, Shen Shulan is still injured. What if he travels on an empty stomach and faints from exhaustion halfway?

Shen Shulan opened his mouth, looked at Cheng Yuntao's busy back and whispered thank you.

God did not let her die, and she met a noble person at this desperate situation. Now Cheng Yuntao is simply a walking bright spot in Shen Shulan's heart.

She is a kind person, cooks delicious food, and is very thoughtful. After a heart-to-heart talk with her, Shen Shulan has long regarded Cheng Yuntao as an important friend.

Cheng Yuntao also learned about a more colorful world from Shen Shulan, and realized that outside this cave, there was a vast world waiting for her to explore.

The two got to know each other and their friendship gradually deepened.

……

The most convenient dry food to carry on the journey is probably flatbread, but dry flatbread is not tasty and has no flavor, and it will leave you with no energy to travel.

Cheng Yuntao planned to make a pot-shaped crispy cake for Shen Shulan. She first took an appropriate amount of white flour, added cold water to mix it, and added a little salt.

If you want the cake to be crispy, add lard; if you prefer sweetness, add sugar. Cheng Yuntao thought Shen Shulan liked sweet food very much, so she put more sugar in it.

Then knead the dough dozens of times until it is smooth and chewy, roll it into a pancake about half a finger thick, then bake it over a low heat until cooked through, and then cut it into pieces.

The so-called mother-and-child fire is to first lay red charcoal on the bottom of the stove, then cover it with a layer of hot ash, place a pot on it, fill the pot with charcoal blocks, and then place another pot on top, and add smokeless red charcoal to the pot for baking and heating.

After the pancakes came out of the pan, Cheng Yuntao kept a portion to eat immediately, and took out the rest while they were still hot and wrapped them in oil paper.

"Here, take these and have a bite when you get hungry on the way."

"This cold pancake is definitely not as delicious as the hot one, but we are in a hurry, so there is no other way for the sake of convenience and speed."

"But before you go, you can take a bite and remember the best flavor."

After saying that, Cheng Yuntao first handed a piece of hot pancake to Shen Shulan, and then gave a piece to the rest of the people one by one.

The crust of the pot-shaped pastry has distinct layers. The outer layer is crispy and delicious, and it breaks into pieces in your mouth with a light bite, while the inner layer maintains a rare softness and toughness. The two complement each other, and the taste is rich and varied.

The moment your teeth penetrate the crust, the unique aroma of the pork fat rushes into your nose like a warm current.

The fat in the pork belly is completely rendered out during the baking process and seeps into the crust, giving the crust that tempting oily aroma.

This unique aroma, intertwined with the crispy crust and the tender and fragrant meat filling, creates an indescribable deliciousness that makes people unable to stop.

The meat filling is processed with great care, without any fishy smell, retaining only the most tender and fragrant side of the meat. The amount of pepper and Sichuan pepper powder is just right, bringing a hint of numbness, which both enhances the flavor and relieves greasiness.

"good to eat!"

One bite was filled with crispy fragrance, and Shen Shulan praised it frankly without any reservation.
