Chapter 80: Fruit Cake

After Li Cheng cut the pork loin into strips, he said to Li Li: "Xiaoli, now we want to marinate the pork, you can add sugar, barbecued pork sauce, and soy sauce." ”

"How do you add the amount?" Li Li was a little unsure, and looked at Li Cheng as if asking for help, only to see him say: "You just look at it, now you are the head chef, I am just a helper cook, everything is up to you." That being said, Li Cheng still hinted at how much Li Li added.

In the process of adding, Xiaoli paid attention to Li Cheng's expression and gestures very smartly, it seemed that Li Li added it herself, but in fact, Li Cheng had unconsciously controlled the amount of addition.

Li Li put on plastic gloves, and under Li Cheng's guidance, grabbed a few pork tenderloins to fully spread the seasoning evenly, and then it was done, waiting for more than 2 hours before disposing of it.

"Come on, now we start making cakes, the pork has to be marinated for more than 2 hours, during this time we can make a cake, where are the ingredients for making cakes, you can count them, and you have to remember each step clearly." Li Cheng pointed to the materials on the table and asked Li Li to write them down first.

"Eggs, flour, sugar, milk, salad oil, diced fruit, white vinegar." Li Li muttered to herself, carefully noting down the ingredients, and then Li Cheng said: "First of all, separate the egg whites, just like me." Li Cheng opened the egg shell into two halves, the egg white flowed into the container, the egg yolk was still in the other half of the shell, poured the egg yolk into the other shell, and the remaining egg whites all flowed into the bowl.

I have to say that the little girl in the countryside is not inferior to foreign girls at the age of 6, and her hands-on ability is still quite strong. Don't look at Xiaoli usually looks like a princess, but in the countryside will still help with housework, such as washing dishes, playing pigweed, cleaning, etc., Xiaoli has also done a lot, although now the situation in the family has improved, Xiaoli has gradually developed a pampered temper, but before, that is, a year ago, Xiaoli has helped the family reduce the burden.

At least it was not the first time to contact this kind of thing, so under Li Cheng's signal, the 4 eggs Li Li quickly separated. Next, Li Cheng brought an automatic egg beater, handed it to Li Li and said: "Generally speaking, if you use a manual egg beater or chopsticks, you will definitely not be able to use your physical strength, but we have an automatic egg beater, so the work of beating egg whites is also handed over to you." "If it is changed to the point where adults beat egg whites to the point of foaming and creamy, it will take at least about 40 minutes, and if you keep repeating the monotonous action, the damage to the muscles is obvious, and the arm will definitely cramp! This is also one of the more troublesome steps in making cakes.

When using the automatic whisk, Li Cheng added white sugar and a little white vinegar, the effect of white vinegar is to make the foaming process easier, and the egg white will become smoother and more delicate.

The important step only takes 5 minutes to complete, and the automatic whisk is one of the necessary tools for lazy people to make cakes. However, for many families in China, it is more wasteful to spend a sum of money to buy an automatic egg beater, after all, the difference in diet makes it rare for Chinese families to make cakes.

Why don't you go and buy a ready-made one! If you want to do it, you can only use two chopsticks, and saving a small amount of electrical appliances that you don't use often is the way for traditional housewives to save money.

"Well, Xiaoli is doing a good job, just this level." Watching the viscous egg whites turn into a white and flawless dry surname foaming state, Li Li has a sense of accomplishment and full of energy.

The sister-in-law who was standing by and watching suddenly relieved her heart, Li Cheng is worthy of her trust! Then he and Yi Xiaomei left the kitchen and went to the hall to chat, looking forward to what kind of delicious food the six-year-old Xiaoli could make under Li Cheng's guidance, and the wonderful use of the rice cooker, Li Cheng has not used it yet! Under the trend of curiosity, after the publicity of her sister-in-law, everyone knows that Xiaoli, who is only 6 years old, wants to make Western-style cakes and Chinese-style barbecued pork, and these two foods that are not related to each other can be made with the rice cooker that every family has, whether it is a smart rice cooker or a mechanical ordinary rice cooker.

The next step is to stir the egg yolk, Li Li adds salad oil and milk, stirs at low speed, and then adds the flour that is sifted and filtered to filter impurities, making the taste more delicate.

Stir into a batter, then it is time to add egg whites, first one-third of the egg whites, change to chopsticks and stir, slowly stir well in the way of paddling slurry, and then add all the egg whites, and finally the batter is done!

The next thing is the time to use the artifact, the rice cooker has already been washed and set aside, click on the rice cooker's rice cooking function, preheat the pot, put in a little salad oil, spread evenly, and pour in the complete batter.

After all these were done, Li Cheng took over the hand, took the slightly hot pot, shook the batter, and then put it in the rice cooker, covered the lid of the rice cooker, and sealed the air outlet hole with a towel.

That's it? Of course not, there is one more small step.

"Ah Cheng, the cake is ready?" Li Daodao also slipped into the kitchen, and when he saw that the rice cooker could be used like this, he was very curious.

"Brother, of course not, the rice cooker will trip to keep warm in a while, and you have to continue to click the cooking button a few times." Li Cheng said and squatted down to wipe the flour on the tip of Xiaoli's nose, and said, "Xiaoli, the next thing is to wait for the cake to come out, and the cake that you have completed by reading will definitely taste different." ”

"Well, I feel satisfied." Li Li said, ran out of the kitchen, washed her hands, and waited for the cake to come out, and if you make the cake, it will take less than half an hour to make a set of processes, so you don't need to rush to the rice cooker for barbecued pork.

Just when everyone was waiting for the cake to come out, Li Cheng clicked the rice button a few more times when the rice cooker jumped the heat preservation button a few times, and finally the cake was baked! Li Cheng put the cake upside down on the plate, and it was decorated with various kinds of diced fruits, all of which were specialties of the Crystal Palace Fruit Grove, including diced apples, diced pears, and diced kiwifruit......

It makes the cake full of life and plays the role of the finishing touch! Just when the fragrance of the cake spread outside the villa, Noah immediately walked in with a sense of smell comparable to a dog's nose, and brought Banjie and Lulu to eat together.

"Wow, what a delicious cake! You can also make cakes? Noah was surprised, but he didn't expect Li Cheng to not only make good Chinese food, but also make cakes in Western food.

Lulu's saliva almost flowed out, and the little girl was interested in desserts, not to mention that Lulu, who had lived in the national park for many years, rarely ate sweets, so she was also extremely obsessed with cakes.

Li Cheng said: "I didn't do it, guess who?" ”

"If it's not you, it must be my aunt." Noah is very sure that who else in this room will do it? It's not Yi Xiaomei, then it's another Chinese woman.

"No, guess again."

"Could it be this lady?" Noah pointed to his cousin-in-law, and everyone's very mysterious expressions also shocked Noah and the others, who had just come in.

Lulu saw the clue, had a bold guess, and said, "I think it should be Xiaoli......

"How do you know?" This is not only Li Cheng's doubts, even Li Daguo couldn't help but ask in Chinese, Lulu can speak Chinese, it is no secret.

"Haha, I guess, Xiaoli's expression is very strange, it seems to be smiling but not smiling, very suspicious."

Lulu is a qualified Eskimo huntress with the mind of a detective! Li Cheng stopped playing dumb riddles, and said directly: "Lulu is right, this fruit cake is made by Xiaoli!" ”

"Won't it?" Noah and Benjie said in English in unison, their expressions exaggerated, after all, a 6-year-old girl can read and make cakes? It's a delicacy that even adults have to work hard to make, and it's really good.

Li Cheng found a circle center on the cake and cut several small cakes, each cake had some diced fruits on top, which made the cake more flavorful.

Our little chef Li Li distributed the cake to everyone, first to the elders and then to the children.

Everyone was amazed, full of praise for the taste of this cake, Li Cheng also ate a small piece, felt that this cake was really good, better than the cake shop in the city, and safe and hygienic, without any additives, it is worth affirming that Li Cheng This fruit is added very appropriately, and taken from the fruit in the Crystal Palace, the freshness is indescribable, which makes the taste level of the cake further improved.

After Lulu ate a piece, he saw that all the cakes on the plate had been eaten, and he was slightly sad, Li Guang seemed to see Lulu's abnormality, handed his piece to Lulu, and said generously: "Lulu, you can eat it, I'm not used to eating sweets." "Actually, Li Guang likes to eat cake the most.

Lulu was very moved, took the cake, and ate it again, because the cake was so delicious, and it was reasonable for Lulu to be so rude.

After eating two pieces, Lulu was still not satisfied, and said to Xiaoli with a humble look: "Lili, can you teach me how to make cakes?" I will also make it for my father and mother, my people, and my chiefs. ”

Li Li said boldly: "No problem, Lulu is actually very easy to make cakes......" Li Li only did it once and remembered the steps of making cakes with a rice cooker, which shows how reliable this lazy way of making cakes is.

When Li Li passed on the cake skills to Lulu, Li Cheng saw Li Daodao leave the hall after taking a bite, and he didn't know what to do upstairs.

Li Chengsheng was afraid that something would happen to Li Daodao, so he followed, saw Li Daodao in the room, walked in, and said, "Brother, what are you doing?" Aren't you happy? ”

"No, no, I'm so happy." Li Daodao took out a tissue, wiped the tears gushing out of his eyes, and his tone revealed that he was all moved, only to hear him continue: "I have never, I never thought that 6-year-old Xiaoli would actually make a cake for me to eat...... It is not difficult to understand what kind of waves will occur in a father's heart after seeing his little daughter so well-behaved and sensible.

Li Cheng was appeased for a while, and Li Daodao also understood that leaving so rashly would make everyone feel strange, and after washing his face, he went downstairs and hooked up with Li Cheng, looking like a good brother, in fact, the redness and swelling of Li Daodao's eyes had betrayed him.
