After feeding the chickens, looking at the lively appearance of these small animals, Zhao Yuan was in a much better mood, and the ones who should come will always come, and it is useless to worry about them.

"Uncle, you are always like this, you don't tell me every time something happens." Luoluo said dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Yuan thought about it, it was true, sometimes he was asked by the little girl, and when he didn't know how to say it, he told the little girl that he would tell her later.

"It's true this time, and you'll find out tomorrow." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Well, trust you." Luoluo stared at Zhao Yuan for a while, choosing to believe in his uncle.

"Let's go, close the door of the chicken pen, and go back to the house." Meng Ying looked at Zhao Yuan and Luoluo and said with a smile.

Close the door of the chicken pen and check the donkey shed, Zhao Yuan patted the head of the white head, and took Meng Ying and Luoluo back to the house, Shao Meng and Guo stayed in the market and did not come back, only Zhao Yuan's family was there tonight.

After washing, the family went to bed early.

Early the next morning, after Zhao Yuan and Meng Ying got up, they were not busy exercising, but were busy in the kitchen, and Zhao Yuan was going to make a cake for the little girl.

"Brother Yuan, can egg whites really become another kind of stirring like this?" After washing, Zhao Yuan and Meng Ying started to move.

"yes, it's time to work out in the morning." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

There is no electric whisk used in later generations, and there is no manual one, only a whisk made of bamboo by Zhao Yuan, and it really takes a bit of effort to beat the egg whites.

Zhao Yuan mixed the egg yolk with flour, added some soybean oil and sucrose, and began to make the batter.

"It's a pity that there is no milk, otherwise the cake would have tasted better." Zhao Yuan said.

"Where there is milk, there is no cow in the vicinity." Meng Ying said with a smile while beating egg whites.

"Don't you know that there is a cow that produces milk almost all year round." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Is there still such a cow, why haven't you heard of it?" Meng Ying said in surprise.

"Yes, but we don't have it here, it's too far away, maybe there is no chance to bring it in." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

Cows originated in Europe, and it was not until the Opium Wars that they were brought to China by foreign colonists.

"Brother Yuan, look, this egg white has been blistered, isn't it almost ready." Meng Ying said.

"It's not done yet, you have to beat the egg whites into white bubbles, and the egg whites won't fall off when the bowl is turned upside down." Zhao Yuan looked at it and said.

"Oh, this cake is quite complicated to make." Meng Ying shook her somewhat sour hand and said.

"I'll come, Xiaoying, take a break." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Zhao Yuan took over and began to beat the egg whites, and Meng Ying began to make breakfast, it was still early, and the little girl was still sleeping.

"Uncle Wen and Sister-in-law Osmanthus won't come today, right?" Meng Ying asked.

"No, I'll ask them to come every few days, and the small things such as toothbrushes and biscuits needed in the store will be sold for a while." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

When he came back yesterday, Zhao Yuan checked the sales of biscuits in the small supermarket, maybe the new things have not been accepted by everyone, only a small part has been sold, and the biscuits made in the past few days may take a few days to sell out.

Zhao Yuan is not worried about the sales of biscuits at all, compared to dry food such as baked flatbread, biscuits are not only better preserved, but also taste better, and some people who need to hurry are the biggest customers.

"Uncle Feng from Zhulin Village today, they are going to send bamboo shoots again, what they said a few days ago seems to be today." Meng Ying said while sitting at breakfast.

"Yes, spring bamboo shoots have only been available for a while, and they will grow faster and faster." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

The people of Zhulin Village sent spring bamboo shoots, Zhao Yuan would ask them to help deal with it, although they only sent spring bamboo shoots twice, but the several large jars bought by the family were almost full, it seems that they have to go to the Li family in the market to buy more jars and come back, by the way, buy some small clay pots, try to make some canned bamboo shoots.

"I see that the two bamboos planted behind our house are also growing bamboo shoots." Meng Ying said with a smile.

"Yes, I didn't even look at it, it looks like I can grow a few bamboos this year, okay, the egg whites are almost beaten." Zhao Yuan looked at the egg whites that had turned snow-white and said with a smile.

"It turns out that it's really okay, egg whites can be stirred like this." Meng Ying looked at Zhao Yuan's beaten egg whites and said in surprise.

"The next step is to mix the whipped egg whites into the batter and add some sugar to it by the way." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Although sugar has been invented as early as the Tang Gaozong era, the price is still very expensive, and there are few ones sold here in Gray Plains Town, and the sugar bought by Zhao Yuan's family is also with red sucrose.

Zhao Yuan mixed the beaten egg whites with sucrose, stirred again, then picked out half of them and slowly added them to the batter, slowly stirring well.

"Alright, it's time to bake the cake." Stir the batter and egg whites, Zhao Yuan said.

"Okay, I'm going to burn the little oven." Watching Zhao Yuan smear some soybean oil on the inner wall of a small porcelain basin, and then pour the batter into the small porcelain basin, Meng Ying said.

"Okay, Xiaoying, you first burn the small oven and preheat it." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

Pour the batter egg whites into a small porcelain basin, Zhao Yuan carefully put the remaining egg whites on top of the batter, carefully smoothed them, and then picked up the small porcelain and sipped it a few times, trying to let the bubbles in it disperse, and then added some raisins, and you can start baking.

"Okay, Xiaoying, after the fire in the oven is built, don't burn wood, use charcoal, so that the temperature can be stable." Zhao Yuan said to Meng Ying.

"Okay, Brother Yuan." Meng Ying nodded and said.

Thanks to baking cookies during this time, Zhao Yuan also has some experience in controlling the temperature of the small oven, and there should be no problem in baking this cake.

"Xiaoying, go make breakfast first, I'll watch here." Putting the small porcelain basin in the oven, Zhao Yuan said to Meng Ying.

"Okay, I'll go see if Luoluo is awake first." Meng Ying nodded.

In later generations, Zhao Yuan was a relatively amateur baking enthusiast, and with a lot of baking knowledge in his mind now, although it was the first time to make cakes in this era, Zhao Yuan was confident that he could do it well.

"The temperature is about the same, that is, the thermal conductivity of ceramics is as strong as that of metals used in later generations, and this temperature should be okay." Zhao Yuan estimated the temperature in the oven and regulated the size of the charcoal fire.

"Uncle, are you baking cookies again?" After a while, Meng Ying came to the kitchen with Luoluo, who was still a little sleepy-eyed.

"No, it's another thing to bake, Luoluo will wash her face and brush her teeth with her aunt first, and it will be baked in a while." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, auntie, I'm going to wash my face first." Luoluo nodded and said to Meng Ying.
