Oil, cake flour, sugar, egg yolks......

I muttered as I added the things to the bowl in the order I remembered, and stirred.

To make a cake base, the most important thing is to beat the egg whites well.

But I didn't have a whisk at home, so I had to use chopsticks to whip wildly, and I changed it with my mother a few times, and finally it became a wet foam.

"Cut and mix to avoid foaming...... I mixed the egg mixture, took a large bowl and poured it in, and then put it in the steamer, and the steamed chicken cake embryo came out on high heat for 20 minutes.

"It smells so good." Shen Bi came back from learning the violin, just in time for the chicken cake to come out of the pot, and reached out to take it to eat, but I slapped it back.

"Go away, keep the cream cake." I glared at her.

"Sister, such a fragrant cake, let's sell it in our store." Shen Bi, a little money fan, rubbed her hands and smiled, "I'm sure someone will buy it." ”

"More on that later." I lazily opened the whipping cream that I had bought all over the county, "You have the time to do it, help me make the cream." ”

Then, I handed the chopsticks to Shen Bi.

So, that Saturday night, our entire bungalow was filled with Shen Bi's screams, "Ah, I'm so tired, my hands are so sore, I don't eat cake anymore...... I don't want to fight ......."

My mom and I couldn't help but snicker.

Let you have a bad idea, and make cakes to sell, not to mention anything else, no one can stand just beating the egg whites into wet foam.

In the absence of an electric whisk, it is simply a sin to do this.

The night passed happily.

The next day, Shen Bi didn't finish the violin class and came back a long time early, because today was her birthday.

We weren't ready to make a big deal, so we smeared a rough cream cake, made a few more hamburgers, fried some fries and chicken cutlets, Zhang Xiaofei's mother and my mother fried a few more dishes, and at noon, let Xiaofang look at the store, and gave it to Shen Bi on a round table in the lattice shop.

Shen Bi, the kid, was not hypocritical, simply blew out a candle, made a wish, and happily prepared to eat.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofei's mother suddenly pulled my sleeve and asked me to look outside.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw my dad standing outside the glass door of the lattice shop with something in his hand, staring blankly at us, not knowing what he was thinking.

Because of yesterday's slap, I didn't want to pay attention to him, but I didn't want my mother to take care of him, so after thinking about it for a while, I still stood up, opened the door, and asked politely, "Dad is here, have you eaten lunch?" ”

I only greeted him, and didn't turn sideways to invite him in, obviously just being polite to him, and didn't want him to go in for dinner.

My dad obviously realized this, and lowered his head and said, "Eat...... Eaten. ”

"Oh." I nodded indifferently, "What are you doing here, Dad?" ”

My dad looked up and shoved something in his hand to me, "I...... I know it's Xiaobi's birthday, so I'm here to give her a gift, and I used to buy gifts for your sisters every year. ”

When he said this, the tip of my nose couldn't help but sour.

Thinking about last year, it seems that our family of four gathered together to celebrate Shen Bi's birthday.

This year, it became two families.

"Dad just beat Xiaobi yesterday, what are you doing today to give a birthday gift, aren't you afraid that Aunt Zhang and Qiongyu will be unhappy?" I deliberately asked my dad.

My dad lowered his head a little embarrassed, "Xiao Jiang, no matter what, you are also my biological daughter." ”

"But in your heart, we are not as good as the non-biological one." I didn't feel angry.

My dad raised his head sharply and argued, "Qiongyu is different from you, you have always grown up in a warm family, and you have the love of your father, but Qiongyu has no father when she was born, and she has been missing her father's love for more than ten years, and it is not easy for her." ”

"Oh......" I lengthened my voice, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "So Dad, you transferred our fatherly love to Zhang Qiongyu, Zhang Qiongyu will have a father in the future, and Shen Bi and I will be people without a father, right." ”

I was laughing so hard that tears came out.

My dad looked at me in a daze, as if he didn't expect me to argue with him so sharply.

His lips quirmed for a moment, and he wanted to say something more.

I stretched out my hand to stop him, "Dad, don't say it, that's it, I'll thank you for your birthday gift for Shen Bi." ”

With that, I closed the door and turned away without mercy.

After sitting back in her seat, Shen Bi looked at my hand with some curiosity, "Sister, what did you take?" ”

"Daddy's birthday present for you." I threw the little box into her hand.

Shen Bi held the small box and fell silent.

My mother sighed beside her, "Actually, your father still loves you very much, I have never missed your birthday gifts in previous years, and I am still thinking about it this year, Baba sent a gift over, Xiaobi, Xiaojiang, he ...... It's your dad after all. ”

I didn't speak, I took out my knife, cut the cake and gave it to everyone.

Zhang Xiaofei was already hungry, and she ate the cake unceremoniously.

Shen Bi was also thinking about the cake, but her mind was on the small box at the moment, and her expression was a little hesitant.

"Tear it down if you want." I said lightly, "He's gone, and you won't go back." ”

Shen Bi turned her head suddenly, and sure enough, my dad was no longer in front of the door.

She let out a long sigh of relief, slowly unwrapping the small box and pulling out a scarf.

It is a pale pink silk scarf.

Shen Bi is a boyish girl who never wears pink series things.

But she still tied the scarf around her neck.

Because of the hot weather, she quickly removed it and put it in her small drawer.

I watched from the sidelines, and there was some pantothenic acid in the corners of my eyes.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofei had almost gobbled up her cake and was about to cut off a piece, Shen Bi was afraid that she would finish it, so she hurriedly rushed over to grab it.

The lattice shop was filled with laughter again.

I smiled, absentmindedly ate a few bites of food, and cut a piece of cake for Xiaofang to send over.

Xiaofang's family can provide for her to go to high school, and her family background is not particularly bad, but she still eats and devours it, and she doesn't forget to praise my dexterity while eating.

I asked her to eat at the lattice shop and then stood at the counter to help with the order.

During this time, the number of people imitating our burgers gradually increased, and although the taste was not authentic, it still attracted a small number of customers because of the cheap sales, so I was not very busy.

After ordering food for the two young couples, I began to sit there in a daze.

After a while, after finishing the meal at the lattice shop, my mother and Zhang Xiaofei's mother came over and started to get busy, while Shen Bi was bouncing up the dishes and chopsticks.

I was silent for a while, then pulled my mother's sleeve, "Mom, let's buy Xiaobi a birthday present too." ”

My mother was stunned and nodded, "Okay, give you twenty yuan, take Xiaobi to buy something." ”

In an era when a burger was only two dollars, twenty dollars was a lot of money.

I nodded, took out two ten-yuan ones from the cabinet, and when Shen Bi finished brushing the bowl, I took her out.

I didn't want to hide it from Shen Bi, so I just spread it out and told her that I could buy her something for twenty yuan today, and asked her what she wanted.

Shen Bi was very excited, and counted twenty yuan with her fingers, "I want a gown, a stationery box, and a schoolbag...... Would like to buy two more pens......"

I smiled, "As long as you don't overspend, it's up to you." ”

"Really." Shen Bi was overjoyed, took me by the arm and went to our grocery market.

There will be no high-end shopping malls yet, people come to the grocery market to pick and choose, the east is vegetables, meat, pots and pans, and the west is clothes and jewelry, and the division is clear.

Shen Bi and I plunged directly into the west.

"Sister, this gown looks good, this trench coat looks good, hey, this pants look good." Shen Bi picked his eyes, lingering in front of many small shops, and he didn't know which one to buy.

Fortunately, she kept in mind the "limit" and did not greedily want to buy it all because her family had income.

"Otherwise, I'll buy some pants, my pants were short." Shen Bi finally stopped in front of a shop where she bought pants.

I bent down and touched the quality of the pants, and it felt general, at most it was worth eight or nine yuan, but the boss asked for fifteen, and I wanted to bargain with him.

Unexpectedly, a somewhat familiar voice came from my ears, "How much is that trench coat?" ”

"Thirty-five." The boss said loudly.

"Why is it so expensive?" The man was a little surprised, "You can buy several pairs of pants with this trench coat." ”

"Our trench coat has a good version, look at it, it's a style that only big stars wear, can it be compared with ordinary clothes? Besides, it's also your girl. The boss smiled and said, "Your girl is thin and thin, and she looks good in this kind of windbreaker." ”

"Thirty, thirty, I'll ask for it." The man bargained, "I still want to buy another pair of pants, you give me a cheaper." ”

"Take these bell bottoms again, the new ones that are popular this year, I bought twenty-two goods, count twenty for you, plus a windbreaker, a total of fifty yuan, do you think it's okay?" The boss turned around and took a pair of denim bell bottoms.

"Okay, yes." The man said cheerfully.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of squirming money.

Shen Bi and I froze, not daring to look back, for fear of seeing the person we thought we were.

However, in this world, you can come whatever you are afraid of.

Zhang Qiongyu, who had just obtained a complete set of new clothes, slowly walked up to me and greeted me with a smile, "Sister Xiaojiang, Sister Xiaobi, what a coincidence, you also come to buy clothes." ”

I stiffened my neck and twisted my head, just in time to see my dad take out fifty dollars and hand it to the boss.

"Does my sister look good in my clothes?" As if seeing my stiffness, Zhang Qiongyu suddenly shook off the long trench coat in her hand as if showing off, and said happily, "Dad said, the day after tomorrow is my birthday, take advantage of today Sunday, take me to choose a birthday gift, do you think it looks good?" ”

I didn't speak, only the pink scarf that Shen Bi regarded as a treasure swirled in my mind.

It's worth five dollars. ()
