Chapter 118: Cake

When Ye Xiaoyu arrived in the kitchen, several mothers-in-law who were cooking had already gone home, leaving Liu's mother washing the dishes alone. Seeing Ye Xiaoyu, Liu's mother immediately put on her face, and the action of washing the dishes was much bigger, but because Lu Yishou had already gone home, she didn't say anything.

Ignoring Liu's mother's expression, Ye Xiaoyu walked directly into the kitchen, walked to the cabinet, took a piece of oiled paper, scooped several spoonfuls of salt in the salt shaker with a big spoon, put it on the oiled paper, then wrapped it, and took some baking powder for steamed buns. It stands to reason that Ye Xiaoyu has already gone out to cook rice and stir-fry her own vegetables, so she didn't need to come to the kitchen to get salt, but every time Hong'er came to get salt, Liu's mother gave very little, so Ye Xiaoyu never had extra salt in the house.

"I said Miss Ye, you took so much salt in one go, did you use it as a meal?"

Mother Liu finally couldn't look past it and spoke.

"If such a little salt is eaten as a meal, then Mama Liu, can you open a restaurant with the salt you take home every day?"

Ye Xiaoyu didn't plan to give face to Liu's mother, so she choked directly. Anyway, these people are also shameless.

"I'm not old, and my mouth is so poisonous!"

was beaten by Ye Xiaoyu like this, and Mother Liu couldn't come back, so she had to scold hatefully.

didn't want to scold Liu's mother like a shrew, Ye Xiaoyu took the salt and left the kitchen, without looking at Liu's mother.

"Such virtue, it depends on how you marry in the future......"

Staring at Ye Xiaoyu's back, Mother Liu scolded behind her back again. With a temperament like this, she doesn't want to give her a daughter-in-law.

It's funny, it's none of your business to get married or not, right? What are you bothering about. Ye Xiaoyu thought to herself, but she didn't turn her head to go to Mother Liu, but left directly, she still had to go to the village to find milk, and she didn't have time to talk to Mother Liu here.

There are many cattle in the village, but there are almost no milk sellers. Cattle are of great use to the villagers, ploughing the fields, and pulling carts as means of transportation, so people with slightly better family conditions will have a cow. But this is a bull, and if you have a cow, there are also people who raise it, but the number is not so much, Ye Xiaoyu asked one by one, and went around in a circle, only to find a family with cows. This family bought such a cow because the daughter-in-law's milk was not enough and the grandson's nutrition could not keep up, mainly to supplement the nutrition of the little grandson.

After listening to Ye Xiaoyu's intentions, the farmer didn't say anything, anyway, his grandson couldn't finish drinking alone, and now he can sell some spare money, which is the best. It's just that the little girl in front of me doesn't know if she has money.

"Uncle, I don't want much, just fill this cup is enough, as for the price, you don't have to worry about ......"

Seeing the hesitation of the farmers, Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile. Although the cup is not small, such a glass of milk is more than enough to give him two cents, and pure milk in his previous life was only a few yuan a bottle.

"No, no, it's all from the village, how can I collect money, this milk, count it as the ...... I gave you"

The farmer suddenly remembered that the girl in front of him lived in Lujiazhuang, so he immediately changed his mind.

"Uncle, I received your heart, but I didn't give you this little money, I bought some small things for your little grandson, they are all from the village, and I didn't bring anything when I first came, so you can accept this little money......

After receiving the milk handed over by the farmer, Ye Xiaoyu took two cents and handed it to him. Everyone's life is not easy, and it is definitely not okay to take other people's things for nothing.

Ye Xiaoyu was reasonable, and the farmer no longer insisted, accepted the copper coin, went into the house and took his own cup and filled it to Ye Xiaoyu.

That's a windfall, right?

After Ye Xiaoyu thanked the farmers, she returned to Lujiazhuang with a glass of milk in one hand.

Although her time in Quanxiu Village was not long, she learned a lot, especially in dealing with people. Many times, treat people with kindness, don't worry about everything, and what you can get in the end is often not only what you expect to gain. Just like just now, he just insisted on giving a little money to the farmers, but in the end, he not only took an extra glass of milk, but also won the hearts of the people, if he came to get milk next time, he would definitely be happy to give it to himself. That's the catch. In his previous life, he lived in a high-rise building irrigated by reinforced concrete, in addition to work or work, the indifference between people, he also developed the concept of interest first, and took his own interests as the measure of doing things, although the outcome was not bad, but he was always alone, neither an eternal friend nor an eternal enemy. When I first came here, I also adhered to this idea, taking myself as the starting point in everything, and revenge will be avenged, and then gradually, Ye Xiaoyu found that as long as I don't touch my bottom line and principles, I can give others some help and benefits appropriately. The so-called "give people roses, leave a lingering fragrance in your hands" is such a principle.

Since there is no oven and no refrigerator to keep it fresh, she plans to try a few in the afternoon, and if it doesn't work, she still has time to improve it. Qian Yi and Ling Yu will only leave tomorrow afternoon, so judging from the time alone, if there is nothing wrong, it will be in time.

Beat the egg in a large bowl, add sugar, let it mix with the egg, take the chopsticks and make the foam hard, and stop after feeling the heaviness; Put the flour, baking powder, butter (because I couldn't find butter, Ye Xiaoyu directly replaced it with lard), and milk into the egg mixture, and stir vigorously again. Then pour the beaten batter into a small bowl and cover it with oiled paper. In order to prevent the bottom from sticking, Ye Xiaoyu wiped the bowl with lard in advance. Finally, place these small bowls in a pot with a steaming plate and let them heat up inside.

After doing this, just squat on the stove and burn the fire, keep the fire stable, and control the heat.

After a while, the smell of eggs and cream wafted from the pot. Estimating that the time was almost up, Ye Xiaoyu lifted the lid of the pot, and in an instant the strong fragrance came to his nose, took a chopstick, inserted a small bowl in it, and after pulling it out, he saw that there was no sticking phenomenon, it seemed that it was cooked, and Ye Xiaoyu was very satisfied.

Holding a spatula in one hand and a water-stained rag in the other, Ye Xiaoyu carefully "shoveled" the small bowls placed on the steaming board one by one, the pot is not big, and it can only steam four small cakes at a time, however, this smallest bowl is used by Ye Xiaoyu for eating, even if the pot is big enough, she doesn't have many bowls to hold.

When I put the bowl with the small cake on the table, the hall was filled with the taste of eggs and cream, and it was very sweet. Lifting the oil paper attached to it, what is presented in front of you is a small cake with four golden gold, although the tools for making zuò are simple, but the appearance is really good. Ye Xiaoyu felt that she was simply a genius.

Hong'er, who was embroidering handkerchiefs on the side, was also attracted by the fragrance, and poked her head to look at the table.

"Miss, what is this? It doesn't look like an egg custard......"

Looking at the golden things in the bowl on the table, Hong'er asked curiously, she knew the egg custard, but the thing in front of her tasted so attractive, but it was not the same as the egg custard, she had never seen it.

"This is called cake, it is a special food of my hometown, can you taste it and see how it tastes?"

Ye Xiaoyu said as she took the small cake out of the bowl and wrapped it in oiled paper. The lard I wiped just now really worked, and it didn't stick to the bottom at all.

After following Ye Xiaoyu for so long, Hong'er is not polite to Ye Xiaoyu now, took a small cake, put it to her mouth and took a bite.

"Wow...... Miss, this one is delicious, much better than egg custard, I have never eaten such a delicious one, and it tastes good, sweet and fragrant, well, and milky......"

Hong'er said while eating, she didn't know how many things she hadn't seen in Ye Xiaoyu's head, but this thing was really delicious.
