Night 47: Chicken Cake
After Huo Bai came back from the hospital to deal with the burns, he saw Ah Zhai gather all the small wontons that had been scattered on the ground and could no longer be eaten.
She squatted on the ground with her back to her back alone, muttering in a low voice, "Bless bless, little wonton bless!"
What kind of immortal is that? Huo Bai stood behind her with a bag of medicine, "These are all broken, sweep them and throw them in the garbage can." ”
Ah Zhai was startled by his sudden voice, she turned her head and glared at him, and then stared at his gauze-wrapped arm, and asked, "How are your hands?"
Huo Bai stepped aside and put the bag in his hand down on the stool, "It's okay, it's burned three times." ”
Ah Zhai didn't know the level of burns, she really thought it was no big deal when she heard Huo Bai say it was okay, nodded and twisted back.
"What about Duan Ping?" turned his head and looked around, and there was no figure of Duan Ping in the food stalls.
"He went inside to move the stove, and the stove was broken. Ah Otaku patted his clothes and stood up, stepped aside, and took a broom and a dustpan.
The stove that was originally damaged had been put away, and Huo Bai didn't know where it was received, so he could only wait for Duan Ping to come over and ask.
"Come over here and help!" the girl who was in the food stall to help with the garbage rushed over, stabilizing the large stove that almost toppled over.
Huo Bai looked at it and walked over to help lift it with his uninjured hand, and after putting the big stove smoothly in the place where the stove was originally placed, Duan Ping wiped his sweat and asked him about his situation.
"It's ok. It's not too early, so let's cook the porridge first. Huo Bai was injured and did not forget to do business, not that he was greedy for money, he definitely wanted to earn money, but more because of those who got up early every day to have breakfast, regardless of wind or rain.
"Huh. ”
Huo Bai's right hand and arm were wrapped in white gauze from arm to elbow, and he couldn't even raise his hand.
During the whole process, he could only instruct Duan Ping what to do, and he helped hand over meat, preserved eggs or something.
Ah Zhai and the girl saw that there was nothing that the two of them could help, so they went into the tent with Sister Hua, who came back from parking the car, and continued to watch the movie.
Huo Bai took the small bowl handed over by Duan Ping and tasted it, "It's a little light." ”
"The takeaway will be closed for the time being, and I will do it when I have good hands. ”
Huo Bai put down the small bowl and pulled a stool to sit down, "Can you make a cake?"
Duan Ping, who was standing in front of the pot holding a bag of salt, shook his head, "Then how can I ...... Brother Huo, do you want to eat?"
"No, Lao Zhang said that today Mingwa asked me to help make a cake on Mingwa's birthday, and I agreed. ”
Looking down at his arm that couldn't move even under the wrap, Huo Bai sighed helplessly.
Duan Ping looked down at the pot and stirred it in the porridge with a big spoon, "Then it's the same as just now, Brother Huo, you come and I'll do it, it won't be impossible." ”
"That's fine. Huo Bai thought about it and thought it was a good idea, Duan Ping learned things quickly, and a cake with him watching it must be no problem at all.
However, his idea was completely shattered before it reached the evening.
Because of Huo Bai's problem, many things are not sold for the time being, so he is extremely quick to make preparations in the afternoon.
After packing up the things, Duan Ping had nothing to do, so he proposed to try to make a cake in advance just in case, and Huo Bai agreed.
After that, tragedy happened, no matter what Huo Bai said, the cake embryo that Duan Ping made was hard and stone-like.
After the fifth defeat, Huo Bai didn't bother to say anything more.
Duan Ping was also confused when he looked at his failure, he obviously did what he Huo Ge said every step.
And Huo Bai watched from the side throughout the whole process, there was nothing wrong with his operation, how did he make the finished product so unpresentable?
"Forget it, forget it, try again. You're so unenlightened, let's do it another way...... You always have chicken cakes, right?" Huo Bai thought about it and simply asked Duan Ping to make chicken cakes.
"I will. "Chicken cake this Duan Ping is indeed good, when he was a child, his grandmother often steamed it for him to eat, and when he ate too much, he saw too much, so he engraved the practice deeply into his heart.
"Okay, you make a small one and I'll try it first. ”
"Brother Huo, you wait, I'm good at this. ”
Duan Ping took a clean basin and beat two eggs into it, and then took two chopsticks to quickly beat the eggs.
Huo Bai didn't have a whisk or anything here, so he could only rely on his strength to send it away.
But even if there is a whisk, Duan Ping may not be able to use it.
In his memory, when his grandmother made chicken cakes, she held the basin in one hand and opened it with the other, and held two chopsticks to stir quickly in the basin.
Beat the eggs until there are coarse bubbles on the egg mixture, stop, add powdered sugar and continue to beat until it is a paste.
After beating into a paste, the flour is sifted, stirred evenly and put into a bowl, and then knocked a few times on the table to knock out the air inside, covered with gauze and put it in the steamer for more than ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, the chicken cake came out of the pot, Huo Bai tasted it, it tasted good, fluffy and soft.
He looked at the small piece of uneaten chicken cake in his hand and wondered, "Your chicken cake is very good, how can you make a cake and make it alive and dead?"
Duan Ping also looked aggrieved, "How do I know...... Brother Huo, that's it?"
Huo Bai stuffed the chicken cake into his mouth and rubbed the residue on his fingertips, "Think of it beautifully, and send the cream away." Birthday cake can't say anything, it's just a cake embryo, nothing else can be done, brush a layer of cream and put some fruit can still be made. ”
"It's really troublesome, Brother Huo wants to make another bowl of longevity noodles at night?" said that it was troublesome, but he still honestly ran to hold the basin and beat the cream.
"You do?"
"I'll roll the dough, Brother Huo, what are you doing down there?"
"Okay. ”
On this day, the food stall business was much colder, and most of the customers who came to eat could not make the dishes they ordered today, and many people were disappointed.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Sister Hua came.
Sister Hua asked for two bottles of wine and a snack as usual, but she still sat with Ah Zhai.
"I've seen you every day for the past two days. Sister Hua stuffed a edamame knot into her mouth, and looked at Ah Zhai who was typing at the computer and laughed.
Ah Zhai lifted her face with thick glasses, and she was pale, "Yes." ”
"What's wrong with you?" Sister Hua was a little worried when she saw that her face was wrong. Ah Zhai helped the sliding glasses frame and shook his head, "It's nothing, I don't dare to stay at home alone after watching too many horror movies." ”
"Ah?...... Oh. ”
In the food stalls, Sister Hua and Ah Zhai sat opposite each other, and the two chatted with each other.
Huo Bai squatted in front of the advertising sign and reached out to rescue the kitten stuck on it, and the sign was left outside for a whole day.
The cat boss is not on it at this time, but there is also a string of cats, just hugged down one and the other went up again, and if you want to take back the brand, you can only think about it.
Huo Bai, who patted his pants and stood up, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, "It's almost time, let's make chicken cakes." ”
Duan Ping, who moved a stool and sat in front of the freezer to string potato chips, nodded, and got up to make chicken cakes.
Huo Bai went into the front room to wash his hands with hand sanitizer, and after washing his hands, he single-handedly took out a pot of fruits from the Xiaoice box opposite the pool, which were ready to be decorated on the cake.
Duan Ping is responsible for making the chicken cake and whipping the cream for the whole, and he is responsible for the decoration.
Huo Bai, who returned to the food stall with the fruits, cut the fruits evenly with one hand.
"The owner...... Fried wontons......" A ghost-like voice drilled into Huo Bai's ears, and he couldn't help but rub his ears with his shoulder, "I won't sell them today." ”
It was the young man who slept in the food stall until it closed.
Duan Ping also recognized who it was, and he kept whipping the egg liquid while talking to the young man, "Why didn't I see you here before?" ”
The young man stared at a small blackboard temporarily hanging out above his head, "Overtime......"
"It's hard work. ”
“…… It's not hard...... One serving of hot and sour noodles. ”
"Wait a minute. Huo Bai asked the young man to go in and sit and wait, he went to make hot and sour noodles, or it would be fine in two minutes.
When he walked into the tent with hot and sour noodles, he found that the young man had fallen asleep on the table.
Huo Bai turned around and went out with hot and sour noodles, changed it to a packing box, and then took it back and put it on the table where the young man slept on his stomach.
At twelve o'clock, Huo Bai answered a phone call, it was Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou asked him if he was ready, and Huo Bai gave him a positive answer.
The food stalls began to make noise outside, Lao Zhou and they came over, and they all knew that everyone had a smile on Mingwa's birthday today, "Mingwa, Uncle Jin'er's share of meat and vegetables will be given to you." ”
But everyone tacitly didn't tell Mingwa about the surprise they had prepared for him.
"Yes, yes, my meat dish will be given to you today. ”
Mingwa was surrounded by everyone and walked over, he was a somewhat shy child, and his ears were red under everyone's jokes, "No, my food is enough." ”
Mingwa, who doesn't know how to speak, said something offensive in a hurry and didn't know it.
After entering the tent, Mingwa sat down with everyone, which was no different from usual.
Lao Zhou glanced at the fat man who was sitting closest to the curtain at the door, and the fat man quietly slipped out.
The person next to him saw the fat man leave and automatically leaned over there, blocking Mingwa's view of looking out.
After the fat man went out, he took the tray that Duan Ping gave him, and on the tray was a cake about ten inches covered with fruit and a bowl of steaming longevity noodles.
"It's so fragrant!" the fat man tried to keep himself from drooling as he smelled the bowl of noodles, he was tired all day and was now hungry, and his whole stomach rebelled at the smell.
After rubbing into the tent with the tray, he just heard Lao Zhou say that he wished Mingwa a happy day, and the fat man quickly stood up straight and revealed the cake and longevity face he was holding.
Mingwa was stunned when he looked at the colorful cake in front of him, and the next second he lowered his head and wiped his eyes fiercely with his hand. He looked up at the people around him with red eyes and cried and laughed, "Thank you!"
Lao Zhou patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Come on, come on, make a wish, make a wish." ”
