Chapter 31: Birthday (Part II)

After a brief moment of silence, both of them savored this hard-won warmth.

Recently, Jessica has been very busy, running announcements almost every day, and Li Erya has also begun to prepare for the preparation of a new album, and there is not much time, so the two have very little time to meet.

"Okay, let's make the cake first, lest little crystal come later, but we're not ready yet," said Liarya, who broke free of Jessica's grip on her hands.

"Hmm" this time Jessica nodded obediently, although she didn't seem to care about what she said, but in fact, she was quite concerned about her sister's birthday, to put it bluntly, it was a typical oral suspicion of integrity, and she was just lazy before.

As she spoke, Lear took out the eggs and flour from the bag, and took out bowls, pots, and other containers from the cupboard, as well as a colander spoon.

"Say, what do you want me to help with" Seeing that Li Erya had already taken action, Jessica also rolled her sleeves to her elbows, looking like a 'little kitchen expert', and asked Li Erya to assign her tasks.

"......" glanced at Jessica stunned, Li Erya handed her the colander, and handed a bowl by the way, "The first step in making a cake is to separate the egg whites, just hold the colander and don't move"

After saying that, Li Erya picked up an egg and knocked it lightly on the stove, a crack appeared in the originally closed shell, and under Jessica's gaze, Li Erya broke the egg from the crack, and the egg white and yolk instantly fell on the colander she was holding.

"You wait until the egg whites have completely fallen into this bowl, and then pour the egg yolk into another bowl," Lier instructed, picking up another bowl and putting it aside.

"It's as simple as that?" Jessica asked curiously, in her opinion, as long as everything in the kitchen should not be very complicated, who knew that Li Erya said it was so simple.

"This is just the first step, it's still far from making a cake" Jessica glanced at her angrily, and Lier turned to pour out the flour.

"Cut" Jessica wrinkled her nose and gestured twice at Lierya's back, seeing that he didn't pay attention to what she meant, she pursed her lips and focused on the colander.

The beaten egg is mixed with egg yolk and egg white in the colander, and the egg whites slowly drip from the hole in the colander to the bowl directly below under the action of gravity.

"It's disgusting" Jessica whispered a low estimate as she watched the sticky egg whites form a thin line, which reminded her of scenes from many American blockbusters, where the aliens from outer space were covered in this slimy, disgusting liquid.

It didn't take long for the egg white separation of an egg to be ready, but since it was to make a big cake, such a small amount was obviously not enough, so Li Erya broke a few eggs one after another and put them on the colander.

Jessica, who thought it would be easy to complete, was instantly dumbfounded? It's easy! In the end, in the midst of Jessica's constant complaints, the first step of egg white separation was finally completed.

Placing the ingredients on the table, Lier ran outside and brought in the electric egg beater and handed it to Jessica.

"You use this whisk to beat the egg whites until the egg whites are creamy and then turn them off, you know?"

"It's troublesome...... Can I apply to go outside to rest" Jessica broke down instantly, and she began to regret that she had come to help out on her own initiative.

"You said you were going to help," Liarya shrugged.

"Damn" took over the egg beater, and Jessica muttered quietly, obviously mistaking the egg whites in the bowl for Lierya, and venting all her grievances on it.

Looking at Jessica's childlike behavior, Li Erya couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but the more she looked at this picture, the more she felt that something was wrong, and the egg beater in Jessica's hand kept making a buzzing motor sound, which instantly reminded Li Erya's mind of the replies from the gods who searched for what birthday gifts to give to girls on the Internet yesterday.

XX brand electric x stick, who uses it and who knows......

Li Erya hurriedly shook her head, trying to throw some discordant images out of her mind.

"How?" Jessica glanced at Li'er in surprise.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing," Liarya laughed wryly, if he dared to say it, he would definitely be beaten to death by Jessica......

After a small episode, Li Erya also began to focus on making cakes.

He took the bowl with the egg yolk, added sugar, flour, and a little cooking oil to it, and then used chopsticks to stir the ingredients in the bowl well, and on the other side, Jessica also used a whisk to beat the egg whites into a creamy shape.

Li Erya poured the creamy egg whites into the already stirred seasoning in three parts, and slowly stirred with a small spoon until the seasoning in the bowl was stirred into a very viscous liquid, just like fermented yeast.

Then he took out the cake mold he bought, slowly poured the contents of the bowl into the mold, and then put the mold in the oven, and the clerk of the pastry shop told him that it would take about 20 minutes to bake.

"That's it?" Jessica asked.

"It's not good yet, I'm going to put cream and chocolate on it later, by the way, I didn't buy mangoes when I was in the supermarket just now, I remember that Little Crystal likes to eat mangoes, and you can also get a little cake on it."

"How do you know that Little Crystal likes to eat mangoes?" Jessica suddenly felt a little curious, how did Li Erya know Krystal so well, most people only know that Krystal is allergic to fruits, but Li Erya knows that Krystal is the only mango that she can eat and likes to eat.

"Uh...... I...... I found it yesterday in Little Crystal's fanclub on the Internet," Liarya stammered as she explained.

"Oh......" Jessica nodded thoughtfully, probably thinking too much.

It was another long waiting time, of course, the two of them would not really wait so stupidly, Li Erya took out the fresh vegetables and fruits he bought from the refrigerator, handed them to Jessica and asked her to help wash them, and then he prepared to make some sauce for tonight, and by the way, he cut all the ingredients, and when the time came, as long as Krystal was free, he only needed to come over and fry the ingredients.

The two people with a clear division of labor have a tacit understanding, here Jessica handed over the cleaned vegetables and fruits, and Li Erya took the opportunity to cut the fruits and vegetables, and then found a plate, and placed the cut apples, mangoes, etc., into a fruit platter.

Looking at the finished product in her hand with satisfaction, Li Erya finally showed a satisfied smile, but looking at Jessica's outstretched hand, his smile quickly disappeared.

"Don't steal food" Lierya turned around, allowing Jessica to catch the air.

"I want to eat! After working for so long, can't you treat yourself?" Jessica pouted and glared at Li'er with dissatisfaction.

"That can't be moved here, you just wait for me to get it for you"

"Stingy"

In desperation, Li Erya had no choice but to put the prepared fruit platter in the refrigerator, and then hurriedly ran over to help Jessica cut the fruit she wanted to eat into pieces.

At the same time, the oven made a 'ding' sound and the cake was baked.

When the oven is turned on, a rich cake aroma wafts out of the oven and instantly fills the entire kitchen.

"It's so fragrant, it looks delicious" took a deep breath, Jessica's face showed an intoxicated expression, what she made by herself was different, it smelled more fragrant than the one she bought, although the cake was bare at this time without any cream or chocolate embellishment, but in the bottom of her heart I felt that it was much better than those cakes that were very beautifully made.

"Be careful, this one is very hot" for fear that Jessica would reach out and get it directly, Li Erya hurriedly admonished, and then put on thick protective gloves and brought out the cake that was still in the mold.

Even through the thick gloves, Li Erya could still feel the hot temperature on the mold, and when she took off her gloves, Li Erya still said to Jessica next to her with anxiety, "This thing is very hot now, if you don't want to be burned, stay away from it first."

"Oh," Jessica, who had wanted to enjoy the results right now, nodded reluctantly.

After a while, Lear felt that the time was almost up, and first got the cake out of the mold, and then took out the cream and chocolate from the bag.

"Now it's just the last step, that is, you get the cream and chocolate and these mangoes and cookies on the cake, of course, it's best to make it as beautiful as possible, don't just stuff things on it," Li Erya put the things on the table next to the cake and told Jessica, the last process is similar to makeup, as a girl, Jessica should be much better than herself.

"Leave it to me!" Isn't this equivalent to a platter game?,I'm still quite interested in this Jessica.,Immediately took the cream and compared it to the cake.,It seems to be intoxicated.。

"It's really fickle" Lier whispered and underestimated, Jessica didn't want to work before, but now she is so energetic, she can only sigh The girl's mind don't guess.

Shaking his head, Li Erya turned around and took out the Korean beef in the crisper bag, then cut it into slices with a knife, stacked them on the plate at a time, and then he took out the ribs he bought, and today he is also going to make a dish called sweet and sour pork ribs, which he learned not long ago.

According to his vision, for Jessica, Krystal and the three of them, 2 meat dishes with 3 vegetarian dishes and miso soup would be about the same.

Time passed quietly as the darkness of the night slowly occupied the entire sky, the light in the room dimmed instantly, and Li Erya and Jessica, who had made a lot of preparations, left the kitchen and returned to the living room.

In the last moment, they also need to decorate the living room, at least hang ribbons and colorful balloons on the walls, and then make three birthday hats out of colored paper.

When Yiqiē was completely ready, and the time came to 7 o'clock in the evening, Jessica received a call from Krystal, in which Krystal said that she was almost ready, and then asked Jessica what surprise she had prepared for her.

Naturally, Jessica didn't just tell her so lightly, but asked Krystal to tell her the address, and then she went to pick up Krystal.

Sending Jessica out of the house, Lier hurriedly returned to the kitchen, cooked and cooked, and waited for Krystal to come after a busy day of work for this final step.
