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

After hearing Li Fu describe his illness, Cheng Yuntao immediately came up with a number of dietary recipes that could improve the condition.

After a brief consideration and screening, she decided to make a yam pancake, because yam has the effect of nourishing the kidney qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and also has a regulating effect on fatigue caused by weak spleen and stomach.

Yam pancakes are also relatively easy to make and do not require any complicated seasonings or tools, which is just right for the current situation.

The next morning, Cheng Yuntao greeted the innkeeper, spent a little money, borrowed some kitchen utensils, and planned to cook by himself.

First, take half a pound of fresh yam and carefully remove the skin with a sharp knife to reveal its translucent white texture.

When peeling the yam, you need to be extra careful because the saponins and alkaloids contained in the yam can cause allergies in many people.

If you don’t have gloves to protect it, you can hold the very end and place it on the table to prevent your hand skin from directly contacting the yam’s mucus.

After peeling, just discard the tail end. Although it is a bit wasteful, it is nothing compared to the torture of allergies.

If you accidentally come into contact with yam mucus and experience itching symptoms, do not scratch vigorously with your hands, as scratching may cause skin damage and lead to more serious allergic reactions or infections.

You can rinse the contact area with plenty of water and apply some vinegar to the itchy area. This uses the principle of acid-base neutralization to help relieve itching.

When Cheng Yuntao was processing the yam, Jiang Yu rushed over and wanted to help.

"Hey! Don't touch it!"

Cheng Yuntao stretched out her hand nervously and stopped him hastily. She had to find out in time, otherwise Jiang Yu would be itching like a monkey.

"I'll be fine here. I'll call for help when I need it."

Jiang Yu had never been in the kitchen, so naturally he didn't understand that it was easy to cause allergies when handling yam. But when he saw Cheng Yuntao's hurried tone, he knew it was not convenient for him to get involved, so he honestly stepped aside.

"Okay, I won't move. I'll just stay nearby."

Jiang Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest and paid close attention to Cheng Yuntao's hand movements. He was very curious about how those delicious foods were made.

After peeling the yam, Cheng Yuntao put it into a container to steam it, and then mashed it into a paste.

The yam pieces are rough at first, but as the grinding action continues, they gradually become delicate and smooth. Occasionally, tiny yam fibers can be seen, but they do not affect the taste.

During this process, you can gradually add some sugar for seasoning. After preparation, take a clean frying pan and place it on the fire. Pour in a little clear cooking oil and stir lightly with bamboo chopsticks to make the oil evenly spread on the bottom of the pan.

Then use a small spoon to scoop an appropriate amount of yam paste, carefully place it in the center of the frying pan, and slowly press it with the back of the spoon. The yam paste will then obediently extend to the sides and turn into a yam cake prototype of even thickness.

When the first piece of yam cake quietly embraces the warm bottom of the pot, begins to turn slightly white and the edges are slightly solidified, you should prepare the second piece without stopping.

Slowly pour the raw yam paste into the frying pan. At the same time, quickly pick up a bamboo stick (the thickness, width, and width are just right) and lightly stir it on the pan. Also, keep the heat low and fry slowly. Any more and it will burn, and any less and it will be raw.

Cheng Yuntao controlled the heat and followed the same steps and techniques over and over again, carefully making more than ten pancakes, which were stacked layer by layer to form yam pancakes.

Until the task was completed, the whole room was filled with the rich and mellow aroma of yam. The aroma seemed to have a tangible substance, penetrating into the nasal cavity and teasing the taste buds.

While it was still hot, Cheng Yuntao quickly cut off a small piece and handed it to Jiang Yu, motioning him to taste it first.

"Come and try."

Jiang Yu bent down slightly, tilted his head, opened his mouth, and directly took the yam cake. Then he stood up and tasted it carefully.

At first glance, the crust feels slightly crispy, like a cracker gently touching your teeth, with a gentle "crunch." As your teeth slowly sink into it, the soft, glutinous yam paste inside dissolves like a cloud in your mouth, its exquisite texture forming a stark contrast to the crispy crust.

The taste is sweet and elegant, not too strong or straightforward, but like a trickle of water, it flows slowly between the taste buds, and the sweetness gradually permeates the entire mouth.

"It's delicious, sweet but not greasy, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside. I think it's suitable for the elderly and children. I'll serve it to them right away."

Cheng Yuntao had not had the time to explain this matter in detail to Jiang Yu, so Jiang Yu thought that the yam pancake was a snack that Cheng Yuntao intended to make for them.

"Don't worry!"

Cheng Yuntao quickly stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Yu, and took the yam pancake back from his hand.

"Once we find a suitable house to settle down, you can have as many snacks as you want. But it's not ready now. I have other uses for this plate of snacks."

Jiang Yu looked at the snacks moving away from him and wailed with some regret: "So it's not for us to eat. Who are they giving it to?"

After packing the yam pancakes, Cheng Yuntao stood there holding the oil paper bag and explained.

"Do you remember the dentist Li Fu I told you about yesterday? I was planning to give him this yam pancake. He has a weak spleen and stomach, and doesn't like bitter medicines. So I came up with this idea to let him experience the charm of food therapy."

"By the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask him to help us find a suitable house. This inn is fine for a few days, but if we stay here for a long time, my wallet will be exhausted. I'm hoping that he can find us a good house at a good price. This way, we can have more money for business."

"Well, that's what we call spending little money to achieve great things! Oh, and I'm planning on going to the old teahouse to look for him. Do you want to come with me?"

When Cheng Yuntao passed by Jiang Yu carrying the oil-paper bag, she stopped and asked another question.

Anyway, there was nothing for him to do today, so Jiang Yu thought of accompanying Cheng Yuntao to the old teahouse to meet this powerful broker.

"Okay, I'll go have a cup of tea too."

The two of them walked together and soon arrived at the old teahouse. With yesterday's experience, Cheng Yuntao looked towards the corner as soon as she entered the door.

As expected, Li Fu was spotted hiding in the crowd at a glance. Cheng Yuntao reached out and grabbed Jiang Yu's wrist, leading him forward.

Before they even got close, Li Fu's face lit up with joy, and he stood up to greet them: "Miss Cheng is here! I brewed some new tea today, come sit down and taste it!"

"Hey, this little brother looks unfamiliar. Is he the friend Miss Cheng brought with her?"

Seeing Jiang Yu's extraordinary demeanor and the intimidating weapon on his back, Li Fu couldn't help but take a closer look.
