Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gardenia's Cake
The encouraged gardenia is like a balloon that has been blown up, and it feels like she is fluttering and wonderful.
In the afternoon, he pestered Bai Yan to learn how to make cakes.
The thought of Yuan Jia eating the cake she made with her own hands is indescribable.
Bai Yan was curious: "Gardenia, why do you suddenly want to learn to make cakes?"
Xu Nanyu said squirmingly: "I want to eat......"
Looking at her mother's eyes that seemed to be able to see her heart, and the mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth, Gardenia's face turned a little red: "I just want to give it to Yuanjia to eat...... He, he's usually helped me a lot, nothing else......"
"Well, it's time to give him a present. β
Bai Yan nodded, and she didn't break her daughter's careful thoughts, after all, she had also seen Yuan Jia, and she had no objection to Gardenia and Yuan Jia's relationship, and even maintained a supportive attitude.
After all, she and her husband will grow old one day, and Gardenia refuses to contact other outsiders, so there should always be someone she likes to accompany her for a lifetime.
"It's not difficult to make cakes, does Gardenia want to learn to cook?"
"Cooking......
"You can make it for people you like. β
"No, that's not what it meant. Xu Nanyu's face was embarrassed, and he wanted to run into the room, "Because I don't know anything, I want to learn a little housework, I, I'll cook for you and your father." β
Bai Yan smiled, she was quite expecting her daughter to cook for her.
Making cakes is not difficult for those with a basic level of cooking, but for Gardenia, it's like an experiment.
She stood beside her mother with a small notebook and watched her get busy.
Then carefully record the usage and amount of each ingredient.
5 eggs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, about a small sip of corn oil, about a large mouthful of milk, and about 2 handfuls of flour......
If it weren't for the lack of a measuring device at hand, Gardenia would have had to record the weight in detail, and now she can only rely on her own feelings.
Bai Yan took out five eggs, and after knocking them open, she skillfully poured the eggshells in her hands back and forth, and the egg whites flowed into the basin, and the yolks remained in the shells, separated and packed in two basins.
On the other side, Gardenia also recorded the amount of ingredients, she brought another basin, like her mother, wanted to separate the egg white from the egg yolk, but the technique was not skillful, as soon as the egg shell was opened, the egg white and egg yolk flowed into the basin together.
I tried two more eggs, but they still didn't pour well, and the yolk was scratched by the egg shell and mixed with the egg white.
"Here, try this funnel. β
Bai Yan took a fine-hole colander and put it on the edge of the basin.
Gardenia cracked the egg into it, the yolk got stuck in the colander, and the egg white finally flowed smoothly into the basin.
"Am I so stupid? β
"You haven't cooked, and when you get used to it, you do it better than your mother. β
"Uh-huh!"
Xu Nanyu was full of energy, and began to beat the egg whites with a whisk, adding sugar to the egg whites in three steps, and beating for more than ten minutes until the egg whites became thick white, a bit like ice cream, and they could be gently pulled up for a while.
"Mom, how do you get it now. β
"Put the flour in the bowl with the corn oil and milk in the egg yolk and continue to beat the ...... with a blender."
Gardenia is very serious, it is not difficult to make cakes, Bai Yan is making a portion, and Gardenia is making her own one according to her method, until all the ingredients are evenly mixed together to form a uniform and delicate batter.
"Are you going to start roasting now?"
"Well, wait, don't pour it in yet, the mold must be coated with a layer of oil, otherwise it will get wet. β
Gardenia brushed a layer of oil on the cake mold according to what Bai Yan taught her, poured the batter in the basin into it, and gently sipped it on the table a few times to shake out the large bubbles in the cake batter.
The oven was already preheated, and Gardenia ran to pick up the notebook, recorded the temperature of the oven, and then asked Bai Yan when she needed to bake.
After closing the oven door, Gardenia cleaned up the kitchen with Bai Yan.
Bai Yan looked happier than Gardenia, and she forgot how long it had been since she had done something with her daughter like this.
Bai Yan remembered that when she was a child, she learned to cook with her mother, and her mother taught her how to cut vegetables, how to season them, and how to control the heat, and then after so many years, she could also take over this inheritance to Gardenia.
"Okay, let's go out and rest, I'm going to bake for forty minutes. β
"Well, I'll take a look. β
The kitchen of the gardenia house is huge.
She looked curiously through the glass window at the oven at the cake turning, and over time she could see the batter changing wonderfully.
She took out her mobile phone and took a small video for Yuanjia.
Mom had already left the kitchen, and when Gardenia was taking a small video, she secretly looked at the kitchen door, and when she was not there, she whispered: "I'm baking cakes, it looks like I'm successful......"
Today, Tuesday, Yuan Jia did not have an appointment and was in the office preparing for tomorrow's interview.
When he received Gardenia's message, he clicked on it to see it.
This is the first time Gardenia has sent him a small video,Under the telephone communication in the past two days,Undoubtedly, the relationship between the two has been pulled into a lot in an instant,Gardenia has been able to send voice to Yuan Jia very naturally,It's just not very used to it,But she especially likes Yuan Jia to chat with her by voiceγ
The video was very quiet, and Yuan Jia turned the sound to the maximum before he heard what Gardenia said.
He also replied with a voice: "Did you hide in the cabinet and shoot it?"
Gardenia: "Not really!"
Yuan Jia: "It looks like a success, is this going to be eaten for me?" β
Gardenia: "Well, I'll taste it first, and I'll make another one for you tomorrow~"
Yuanjia: "Then let's say so. β
The chatting time passed quickly, forty minutes passed, and the cake was baked.
Bai Yan took out the cake mold wearing heat-insulating gloves, and after it cooled, she easily demolded it.
The first cake to bake is made of gardenia, which is very simple and not as beautiful as the one in the cake shop, but it smells very fragrant!
Gardenia was a little excited, after all, this was the first time she had cooked food, and it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, so she had a rare appetite.
She couldn't wait to take a cut piece and taste it.
The cake is fluffy and warm, with a soft sweetness and a rich aroma in the mouth.
It's pretty good!
Gardenia has eaten a lot, even if it is a particularly expensive and delicious cake bought from outside, it is not as much as it is today.
So I couldn't eat dinner, so in order to deepen her proficiency, Gardenia made a new cake.
This time, without my mother's guidance, I did it completely according to my impressions and notes, and when the taste came out, it was not bad.
And Gardenia also took out a piece of chocolate, ground it into chocolate powder, and sprinkled it on the cake for decoration, which tasted very good.
Gardenia: "I made it!"
Gardenia: "[Picture] [Picture]"
If it was before, when Gardenia took a picture of Yuanjia, she must have put the cake on a plate and took a picture of it for him, but this time it was different.
Gardenia holds a piece of cake in her left hand.
Yuan Jia's gaze fell on her hand for the first time.
Her fingers look particularly soft, white and delicate, her nails are also a warm color, and there are a few golden cake crumbs on the tips of her playful thumbs, like a beautiful work of art.
The cake in her hand is golden brown, cut into boxy pieces, and she has just taken a small bite in the upper right corner, like a sponge, and you can feel the texture of the cake when you look at it.
Yuan Jia: "This cake is so beautiful. β
