Luo He glanced at the cave.

There is no light at the dark entrance of the cave, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"Are we going deep into the cave?" Luo He asked.

"The stove sacrificial ceremony is held outside the cave."

Xia Xunian lowered his head and glanced at the ground, and immediately said: "We will arrange the outside into a suitable venue, and then we need three people to cook on site, so that the Kitchen King can taste the food for the Kitchen God at the first time."

"When does the stove sacrifice begin?" Butler Cheng asked.

Xia Xunian raised his hand to take down the compass floating beside him, like a Feng Shui master measuring auspicious times, then he raised his head and glanced at the sky:

"You three, please discuss what you want to do first. At dusk, when the sun is about to set, the stove delivery ceremony will be held."

Food for worshiping the stove mainly includes stove candy, stove cakes, stove soup, stove cakes, etc.

After discussion, Luo He was responsible for making stove candies and stove cakes; Master Miao Xi was responsible for making vegetarian soup; and Uncle Cheng was responsible for preparing pastries and farewell dumplings.

The site layout work continued in an orderly manner, and in the afternoon, an altar was set up outside the cave.

There is a long table covered with red cloth on the altar. There is currently nothing on the table.

But Luo He and the others were already waiting in front of the stove under the altar, waiting for the auspicious moment to come.

In addition to the three people and Xia Sunian, there were also many archaeological and scientific researchers on site, waiting nervously.

The sun gradually tilted, and the first ray of sunset shone on the cave.

The depths of the bottomless cave seemed to flicker with light for an instant.

"Today I respectfully bow down and send you off. The Master of the East Chef of the Nine Heavens orders the Lord Zao to make a wish and send Gao Zhen to you, so that I can keep my kindness and bring blessings to you."

The essay on worshiping the Stove God after the Xia Su Year is finished reads:

"Start the stove!"

The light of the summoning array shines in the field, like a fiery red cloud coloring the earth.

Luo He said: "Xiaojiu, make a fire!"

Xiaojiu took a deep breath and exhaled suddenly.

In an instant, the stove fire burned brightly!

The first thing Luo He made was stove cakes.

A famous snack with a crispy outer skin, layered with sesame paste, and a mouthful of brown sugar in one bite. It has a mellow sesame aroma, is soft and delicious.

Brown sugar sesame sauce pancakes.

First add warm water and yeast powder to the milk, then add peanut oil to the flour, mix the milk liquid, and knead it with your hands to form a smooth dough.

While waiting for the dough to ferment.

Luo He poured the white sesame seeds into the wok, stir-fried them until they turned slightly yellow, turned off the heat and set aside. He also added salt and honey to the sesame paste to make a secret sauce.

After the dough has risen, it’s the Xuanwu board’s turn.

During the process of kneading the dough, the base of the basalt board shone slightly, the edges of the emerald pattern were as bright as night pearls, and the black center was matte.

Legend has it that the energy provided by the kitchen utensils is added to the ordinary dough, making the surface of the dough smoother and whiter.

Luo He used a rolling pin to roll out the dough on a chopping board as smooth as jade, spread the prepared sesame paste evenly, and sprinkled with brown sugar.

Immediately roll and stretch, roll into long strips, cut into small pieces, press into the shape of sesame cakes, and brush the surface with water and sesame seeds.

Finally, it is attached to the upper wall of the sesame cake oven and baked slowly by the stove fire.

During the baking process, Luo He started a new stove and prepared to make "stove candy".

Kitchen sugar is usually sticky and sweet maltose, and there are many types such as Tanggua and Guandong sugar.

But Luo He felt that he could follow Xiaojiu's taste and replace the traditional stove candy with sweets.

I want to ask Xiaojiu what her favorite sweets are.

That was undoubtedly the earliest sugar dish I made, Glazed Snake Fruit.

Glaucous cabbage is strictly a type of cabbage.

The sticky sugar strands of carrots are exactly the same as kitchen sugar.

Luo He has made "glazed snake fruit" countless times, and even Xiaojiu is familiar with the heat required to cook this dish.

Cut the red snake fruit into small pieces on a basalt board, boil it over a fire until it turns into sugar, and then put the fruit pieces into it.

Luo He stared at the crystal-clear fruit pieces soaked in caramel in the hot pan, his eyes flashing slightly.

This dish can be said to be my best dessert, and there is no possibility of improvement in technique.

But in terms of external conditions, there is still room for improvement!

"Xiaojiu." Luo He ordered through the beast space: "Yantian Commander!"

The fire in the stove suddenly turned from orange to gold.

This inheritance from Zao Lord contains insights into cooking.

In the past, the Kitchen Lord used this trick to provide fire for the Nong Emperor who was cooking colorful soups.

At present, the brighter stove fire provides this glazed snake fruit with the "pot gas" that is highly valued in Donghuang cooking techniques, adding a taste!

Turn off the heat and remove from the pot.

The golden fruit pieces are coated with sugar juice, crystal clear and bright, with flying sugar threads and attractive shapes.

Luo He opened the lid of the sesame cake furnace again, and white smoke and sweet smell floated straight into the clouds. Even the staff outside the venue couldn't help but cast a glance.

"It smells so good."

"I'm so greedy..."

"After the stove sacrifice is over, can we eat these sesame cakes?"

Xia Xunian turned around and saw Luo He and Xiao Jiu each carrying a plate of tributes and walking towards the altar.

The fragrance wafted away, causing him to secretly swallow his saliva and thought to himself, it was undoubtedly a wise choice to let Luo He take the spoon to deliver the stove ceremony!

The soup cooked by Master Miaoxi and the cakes made by Butler Cheng were taken out of the pot one after another. The two of them placed the tributes on the altar and placed them on both sides of Luohe's tributes.

Xia Sunian glanced at the sky and thought to himself, next, as long as the second part of the memorial text is read, it will be done.

The sun was setting in the west, and the golden afterglow shone on the nine-section wolf beside Luo He, and its tail ring seemed to be burning.

Warm breeze blows.

Xiaojiu stuck out her tongue.

Suddenly, as if he noticed something, he tugged on Luo He's trouser leg.

Luo He did not respond, but looked at the altar and said nervously:

"Xiaojiu, what are you doing there? Come down quickly!"

Xiaojiu was slightly startled: "Huh?"

Am I right here?

Luo He turned his head and glanced at Xiaojiu, also stunned.

Xiaojiu is here?

Who is that on the altar?

On the altar, a "nine-section wolf" appeared at some point, holding a brown sugar sesame cake in his left hand and a glass snake fruit in his right hand, with his mouth full of sauce, enjoying it happily.

Luo He froze on the spot.

Looking back and forth between Xiao Jiu and the figure on the altar.

Luo He was shocked and said in shock:

"Zao, Zaojun?!"

…
Chapter completed!
