Chapter Ninety-Five: Making Desserts
"Chengxing came to you, in fact, I know that he also wants to open a department to do this industry, no matter what the results are, it is more or less a blow to the cutting and painting company. He couldn't let go of the knot. Li Xiangrong sighed.
"Hey, people, let your heart open and look forward. Spirit, you have to remember: when the heart is wide, everything big will become small, and if the heart is too small, everything that is small will become a big thing. Li Xiangrong said earnestly to Mu Mengling.
"Hmm. Master, I can make all kinds of desserts, I see an oven in the kitchen, how about I make you a sweet tasting in the afternoon? Mu Mengling pulled away from the topic.
Li Xiangrong may have also seen Mu Mengling's intentions, so he immediately smiled: "Okay, make more, I remember Xiao Rui's favorite desserts." ”
"Really? That's okay, I'll make it sweeter, and I promise my brother likes it. Mu Mengling spoke, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the four people standing faintly outside the living room.
"Alright, let's move on." Listening to Li Xiangrong's words, Mu Mengling restrained his mind and listened carefully. When the class is finished, I have to go to the study to look through it, and I don't know what treasures the master has.
After finishing the morning class, Mu Mengling and a few people nested in the study after lunch.
Li Xiangrong's study is located on the first floor to the southeast. Mu Mengling opened the door and entered, the height of this room was high, and the bookcase was also a little high, all standing against the wall, with dense books on it. On the left-hand side of each bookcase hangs a piece of bamboo, on which the type of books in the bookcase is written with a brush.
Mu Mengling also saw a small step shelf in the corner of the room, which was probably prepared for picking up the books at the top of the bookcase.
The middle of the room is vacant and divided into two parts. On one side is a desk and chair that you are accustomed to in the library, and on the other side is a leather sofa. Half of the beaded curtain hangs from the middle of the roof, the length is exactly the height of the sofa and the table, and it is divided into two spaces, so that you can hear the opposite side clearly without affecting each other.
Directly opposite the door, the light that came in through the two large windows was enough to illuminate the entire room. It's just that the weather is a little overcast today, and the emerald green curtains covered with jasmine flowers are flying up and down with the cold wind outside the window.
Mu Mengling quickly stepped forward and closed the window, and then looked up at the bamboo piece to find the book he wanted to read. She pulled out a copy of "Chinese Classic Paper Cutting" and flipped through it against the bookcase.
"Miss Wood." Xiao Yu's shout came from outside the door.
Mu Mengling looked up from the book, walked to the door, poked his head out and asked, "I'm here." Xiaoyu has something to do with me? ”
Xiaoyu ran over with great interest, "Miss Mu, I heard that you are going to make desserts, so Sister-in-law Qing asked me to help you." If you need anything, just ask me. ”
"Oh, that's it. Well, I see. Thank you. Mu Mengling nodded, retracted his head and prepared to read the book again, only to find that Xiaoyu was standing still.
"Is there anything else?" Mu Mengling asked.
"Miss Mu, aren't you going to do it now?" Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.
"Oh, do it, do it now. Let's go. Mu Mengling closed the book in his hand and put it back in the bookcase, turned off the light, and went out of the study door to the kitchen with Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu: "What is Miss Mu going to do?" ”
Mu Mengling: "Xiaoyu, you still call me Lingling." What to do, I haven't thought about it yet. Wait to see what materials are available before ordering. By the way, Xiaoyu, what do you like to eat? ”
"I like to eat cake." Xiao Yu replied quickly, and her face turned red after speaking.
"I also like to eat cakes, so let's make a cake." Mu Mengling clapped his hands and made a decision.
"Isn't it going to be complicated?" Xiaoyu asked worriedly, afraid that Miss Mu did it for her.
"No, it's easy." After finishing a language school in his previous life, in order to mix visas, he chose a specialized school to teach desserts and continued, and when he came back from rebirth, Mu Mengling regained his confidence in making desserts.
"Don't you usually make desserts?" Xiaoyu asked this question, it must be that Li Zhai rarely does it, or almost does it. Therefore, Mu Mengling asked.
"Do it, usually only do it on holidays when the young master comes. Make cookies or tarts or something like that. As for the cakes, I probably make them too, but I go home most of the holidays, so I don't know. Xiaoyu said.
"Oh." Mu Mengling nodded after hearing this.
Soon the two were in the kitchen.
"Flour, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, blender, cream. Give me these first, and I'll tell you the rest when I think of it. Mu Mengling searched his mind for memories.
"Okay." Xiao Yu quickly took out the things that Mu Mengling wanted from each cabinet and placed them on the counter.
"You'll have to get me two big bowls, the bigger the better. If you don't have a big bowl, you can bring me two bowls. Oh yes, and oil. Mu Mengling stepped forward to pick up the egg and said to Xiao Yu behind him.
"Okay, right away." Xiao Yu quickly took two large bowls.
Mu Mengling put down the egg, picked up the bowl and wiped the water stains with a white cloth, then cracked the egg open, and skillfully divided the egg yolk protein into two bowls.
Turning back to find the sugar, Xiaoyu carried the sugar in front of Mu Mengling, and Mu Mengling dug six large spoons, three spoons per bowl.
Add a spoonful of oil to the egg yolk, pick up the blender and spin it around.
Sift the flour, beat the egg whites, mix the three and add the milk. A series of movements were presented in Mu Mengling's mind, and she did it step by step in an orderly manner, and Xiao Yu helped with the handle from time to time on the side.
In the end, it was finally done, Xiaoyu brought the mold, and Mu Mengling carefully poured the materials into it. Finally, put it in the oven, set the time, and wait for it to come out.
"Lingling, do you make cakes a lot?" Xiao Yu, who was cleaning up the table, asked.
"No, why do you ask?" Mu Mengling was beating cream, and when he heard this, he replied strangely.
"It's just that you are very skillful in your movements, and I think you do it often." Xiaoyu spoke her mind.
"Oh, yes. Hehe...... "She really doesn't know how to explain this, but fortunately, Xiaoyu didn't continue to ask."
Mu Mengling beat the cream, took a quarter, added a little strawberry jam and stirred it, and waited until the color turned reddish before stopping and receiving a special bag. In this way, marmalade was added to each one, and it was yellow; Add grape sauce and it will be purple. The other quarter is left in the bowl. Xiaoyu also brought her all kinds of model heads.
"What tricks do you like? You can draw one by yourself later. Mu Mengling handed the thing to Xiao Yu.
"Is that okay?" Xiaoyu's eyes were shining.
Mu Mengling nodded, and Xiao Yu was excited.
"Ding" the sound of the oven. Xiao Yu went over and turned the oven on, and Mu Mengling put on his gloves and reached in to take out the mold.
"Wow, it smells so good." Xiao Yu couldn't help muttering when she heard it.
"You can't serve the cream until it's cool." Mu Mengling poured out the baked chiffon cake to cool off.
"I'll go to the study to read a book, and call me when it's cold." Mu Mengling instructed Xiaoyu.
"Okay." Xiaoyu responded.
Mu Mengling washed his hands and dried them, then turned around and went back to the study, took out the original "Chinese Classic Paper-cutting", paced to the sofa and sat down, read it quietly, and soon immersed himself in the book.
It was an hour later when Xiao Yu came to call her. Mu Mengling went back to the kitchen, took out the bagged cream, and put it on the mold he liked.
"Xiaoyu, give me the turntable in the microwave." Mu Mengling said to Xiaoyu.
"Ah, what do you want that to do?" Although Xiaoyu was puzzled, she still did it.
"You'll find out in a moment." Mu Mengling put the cold cake on the microwave oven again, turned it under the bottom with one hand, and took the cream left in the bowl with the other hand and spread it on the surface of the cake. After a while, the matte surface of the cake turned white.
"Wow, you can do it like this." Xiao Yu sighed.
Mu Mengling trimmed it for a moment, and then picked up the cream in the bag again.
"I picked out what color I liked." Mu Mengling said a word, and lowered his head to draw on the cake.
"Okay." Xiaoyu picked up the purple with great interest and put it into it seriously. The two of them tinkered in the kitchen, and brought seasonal fruits, washed and peeled them, cut them into small pieces, and put them on the cake.
