Although the kitchen of this manor is not as large as the kitchen of the Taishi Mansion, it also has as many as seven large stoves, which is much larger than the kitchen in the later school.

Coming to the kitchen, a tall figure was busy inside.

This person is Lu Meimei, one of the two beauties in Yangzhou, she has been busy taking care of the children's diet and daily life during this time, and she is very diligent in doing things without any complaints, which Li Qi sees in her eyes.

When Lu Meimei saw Li Qi coming, she hurriedly saluted and said, "Master Li, you are here." ”

Li Qi said "um" and said, "What about your senior brother?" ”

Lu Meimei replied: "He went to the bar early in the morning. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect him to be quite diligent." Li Qi nodded.

Lu Meimei said: "Master Li, in fact, my senior brother is not bad, what he promises to do, he will definitely do it." ”

"Really?"

Li Qi smiled and half-jokingly said: "Didn't he promise you that he would definitely let me take you as an apprentice, and I didn't see him do it." ”

Lu Meimei was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Li, in fact, I have always had a question for you. ”

"Do you like cooking?" Li Qi suddenly threw out such a sentence.

Lu Meimei was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Li Qi said lightly: "When you think you really like cooking, you can ask me this question again." ”

"Do you know what I want to ask you?" Lu Meimei was surprised.

Li Qi smiled slightly, didn't answer, and asked, "Did the people from the Taishi Mansion send the materials?" ”

Lu Meimei nodded and said, "Oh, it's already been delivered." ”

"Where's the cream?" Richie asked again.

"It's all ready, it's all done according to your orders, it just came from the ice cellar of the Taishi Mansion along with the ice cubes, I'll help you get it now?"

"Hmm."

After a while, Lu Meimei brought all the materials to the table.

Dozens of fresh eggs, a large bag of flour, a large wooden barrel of cream, and a little cold air, a basin of fresh milk. There are also some ingredients such as sugar, jam, etc.

"Master Li, are you going to make quiches?" Lu Meimei saw these materials and said curiously.

Li Qi shook his head and smiled, "No. I'm going to make a cream cake. ”

"Cream cake?" Lu Meimei said with a puzzled face.

Li Qi didn't explain too much, and said, "You go and make the fire first." ”

Lu Meimei didn't dare to ask more, so she answered and went to make a fire.

Li Qi washed his hands and prepared for work. Then he began to make a cake that he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was also the first cream cake.

He first cracked a few eggs into a large bowl and added the yolks and sugar. Then he used his own bamboo whisk to quickly beat it, but he complained vigorously in his heart, why there is no electric whisk this year, it's too cheating.

There was no way, he could only use his hands alternately.

In fact, he wanted to replace the baking powder by pumping air into the egg mixture, causing it to swell. However, this is the most crucial part of making zuò cakes, and it requires skillful whipping skills. If you are a novice without professional guidance, it is generally difficult to succeed.

Lu Meimei had already lit the fire, and there was nothing to do to stay aside.

Li Qi saw her strong body, and had a crooked idea in her heart, it doesn't make sense, my boss is tired and tired here, but she has nothing to do on the side, no, this boss is too tired.

Thereupon. He immediately called Lu Meimei over and began to teach her the skills of whipping while beating the egg wash.

Na Lu Meimei thought that Li Qi's attitude towards him had changed, although her expression was still meticulous, but there was a hint of joy in her eyes that could not be concealed. It's called a serious thing.

The egg liquid becomes more and more fluffy in the process of beating, and the volume expands several times. Beat until the whisk is lifted, the dripping egg liquid will not disappear immediately, and Cheng dù, who can draw a pattern in the bowl, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Dense beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead. Then he asked Lu Meimei to preheat the iron oven he had asked Cai Yong to make earlier.

Then he poured the sifted flour into a bowl and stirred. Then pour the cream and milk into the mixed batter and continue to mix evenly. The batter is delicate and fluffy.

Then, using a wooden mold that had been prepared long ago, he shaped the batter into small doughs one by one, and once they were ready, he put the small dough in the oven.

Then he taught Lu Meimei how to make this small cream cake.

These small cakes are just made for those children, and he has to make a more distinctive cake for Bai Qiannuo and Li Qingzhao.

Not to mention, this Lu Meimei's body is quite good, the egg liquid is fast and steady, Li Qi instructed her to practice a few times, and then began to make a cake for Bai Qiannuo, this cake is naturally more troublesome than the previous one, and it takes some thought.

After a while, the small cake made by Lu Meimei was the first to be baked.

Li Qi asked her to send it to the children first, although it stands to reason that Li Qingzhao should eat them first, but Li Qi has always ignored this set

．

"Wow! What a thing, it smells so good! ”

Feng Yinu, Li Qingzhao, and Bai Qiannuo, the three beauties, had just come to the front yard and were about to rest, when they happened to see Lu Meimei carrying a dustpan of earthy yellow dough to distribute to those children.

A thick, creamy scent filled the front yard.

"Lady Lu, what are you holding in your hand?" Feng Yinu said curiously, she has been here for so long, and she is more familiar with this Lu Meimei.

Lu Meimei saw that Feng Yinu and them were coming, so she hurriedly saluted and said, "Oh, this is the cream cake that Master Li just made." ”

Bai Qiannuo grinned: "It turns out that this is a cream cake, it looks like it's delicious." ”

Feng Yinu snorted disdainfully and said, "I really haven't seen this. ”

Bai Qiannuo knew that Feng Yinu had always been on the wrong path with Li Qi, so she stuck out her tongue and didn't say much, she felt like she had eaten honey today, I am afraid that even if someone scolds her in front of her, she will not care.

"Well, this cream cake is delicious."

"Mmmm, this is made by Master Li, of course it's delicious."

The children took the cake and stuffed it into their mouths, smiling happily on their faces, and praising the cream cake for its deliciousness.

These are cheers. It is the best slap to Feng Yinu.

Feng Yinu looked embarrassed, and her stomach also felt a little hungry, she had been dancing all morning just now, and she was already tired, so she asked Lu Meimei: "Lu Niangzi, what are we going to eat at noon today?" ”

"Oh, your cream cake, Master Li is making it."

"He did it on purpose." Feng Yinu said depressedly.

Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "Sister Feng." I don't think Master Li is the kind of person who is stingy, it's understandable for him to let these children eat first, we're okay anyway, and it doesn't matter if you wait. ”

Bai Qiannuo said helpfully: "Sister Li is right, Brother Li has always had his reasons for doing things. ”

Li Qingzhao had spoken, and Feng Yinu naturally didn't say much, so he pouted, and the three of them went to the living room in the front yard to rest.

Li Qingzhao came to the living room and took a sip of tea. Thinking of the happy smiles on the faces of those children just now, he smiled faintly and said, "This is Master Li's cooking skills." It's really remarkable. ”

"What about the Bachelor of Sioux? I heard that Scholar Su's cooking skills are also very good, Sister Li, when you were with him before, you must have tasted many of the delicacies he made. Bai Qiannuo asked with a smile.

Li Qingzhao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, maybe Master Li wants to be more skilled, after all, Uncle Su is just a whim, and Master Li is devoting himself to it." ”

"Qi Niang, how can he be compared to Su University?" Feng Yinu said disdainfully.

Bai Qiannuo retorted: "Why not. Brother Li's calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, except for the poor handwriting, the others are unique and unmatched, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms compiled is also deeply loved. The talent is much stronger than that of Song Gongzi, and they don't know how much stronger. ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a laugh outside, "Qi Niang, if you praise me like this, I will blush." ”

The three of them turned their heads to look. I saw Li Qi walking in with a tray, and because of the cover, he couldn't see what was inside for the time being.

Bai Qiannuo's face flushed, and he whispered: "I didn't praise you, I just said the truth." ”

Is this still called a boast? As soon as Feng Yinu heard this, everyone was almost dizzy.

This girl is really my true biography! Li Qi smiled, walked over, and said with a smile: "Qi Niang, we have to keep a low profile, lest some people be jealous, you know, women can't marry until they are thirty years old, this is a kind of sadness, low-key, low-key." ”

"Li Qi, who do you say can't get married." Feng Yinu Dai raised her eyebrows and said angrily.

Li Qi glanced at him curiously and said, "Feng Xingtou, why are you making such a big fuss?" I'm talking about women who are thirty years old, and I don't say you, aren't you only 29 years old? ”

Bai Qiannuo saw Feng Yinu, who was about to break out, and hurriedly said, "Brother Li, don't talk nonsense, Sister Feng is only 27 years old this year. ”

“27？”

Li Qi glanced at Feng Yinu with a strange look, with a little doubt in his eyes.

Feng Yinu gritted his teeth, squeezed out a smile and said, "What do you see?" ”

"Oh, sorry, curious, pure curiosity."

Li Qi shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "It doesn't look like it!" ”

Feng Yinu heard these words clearly, and he was furious.

Li Qingzhao smiled bitterly, diverted from this sensitive topic, and said, "Master Li, what is under your cover?" ”

"Oh, the cake, the cream cake."

As he spoke, Li Qi lifted the lid as well.

When the three of them saw it, they immediately gasped.

But I saw a cylinder about two centimeters in diameter placed in the plate, snow-white and snow-white, with some patterns carved on the side, and on it were a few orange flowers.

"Wow! It's beautiful. Bai Qiannuo exclaimed.

"You-why is your cream cake different from what Lu Meimei served to the children just now?" Li Qingzhao was surprised.

Li Qi laughed and said: "Actually, it's pretty much the same, but there's more thought in it." ”

"And how do you eat this cream cake?" Bai Qiannuo said with joy in his eyes.

Sweat! You also ask me this question?

Li Qi sneered: "This--I should eat it with a spoon." ”

As he spoke, he used a knife to cut the cake into four parts, and the first one was naturally handed to Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao nodded and thanked him.

Li Qi thoughtfully took a flower on top of the cake with a knife, put it in Bai Qiannuo's bowl, and said with a smile: "Give it to you." ”

Bai Qiannuo naturally understood what Li Qi meant, his pretty face was red, his eyes were full of joy, and he secretly glanced at Li Qingzhao and Feng Yinu, and saw that one of them didn't see it, and the other had an angry expression, and said "thank you" happily.

Then. Li Qi divided another piece of cake and put it in Bai Qiannuo's bowl. Then he added a cake to his bowl, sat down, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and taste it." ”

Feng Yinu, who was snubbed on the side, his angry hair was about to stand up, and he snorted angrily to express his strong protest.

Bai Qiannuo pulled down Li Qi's sleeve and said, "Brother Li, there is also Sister Feng." ”

Li Qileng said: "Didn't I leave a piece for her." As he spoke, he asked Feng Yinu again, "You won't want me to send it to you, will you?" I smiled in my heart. Sample, if it weren't for Qi Niang and Sister Qingzhao here, Lao Tzu wouldn't be too lazy to bird you.

Feng Yinu snorted coldly and tilted his head, indicating that he didn't eat it.

Bai Qiannuo didn't want Li Qi and Feng Yinu to be too stiff, and wanted to give Feng Yinu the cake in his bowl, but when he thought that there were flowers given to him by Li Qi, he was reluctant to give them, so he got up and said, "Sister Feng." I'll help you. As he spoke, he put the rest of the cake into Feng Yinu's bowl.

Feng Yinu saw that Bai Qiannuo had already made a move, so naturally it was not easy to put up a shelf anymore, so he hurriedly said: "Qi Niang." Don't bother you, I'll do it myself. ”

"It's fine." Bai Qiannuo smiled slightly.

When Li Qi saw it, he sighed lightly and said, "Qi Niang, you are so sensible, Brother Li doesn't know what to praise you, they are all women, why is the difference so big." ”

Bai Qiannuo bit his lip and gave him a blank look. Motioned for him to stop talking.

This is really a pair of enemies. Li Qingzhao also felt helpless in his heart, and said, "Let's try Master Li's cream cake." ”

Bai Qiannuo couldn't wait for a long time, picked up the soup spoon, scraped a little white cream and put it in his mouth, the first feeling. Sweet, it is simply sweet to the heart, which really coincides with her mood at this time, and she glanced at Li Qi tenderly.

Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart, it seems that cream really has a fatal temptation for women.

Li Qingzhao tasted it. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly, but he didn't say much, one bite after another, and the surprises were more and more, it turned out that Li Qi also put a lot of nuts in the cake, and the cake itself was also very soft, melting in the mouth, and it was really delicious.

Li Qi naturally didn't have too many feelings about this cake, and solved the cake in the bowl in three or two bites.

Feng Yinu over there hadn't moved the spoon yet, but seeing that Bai Qiannuo and Li Qingzhao were eating so attentively, his heart was itching, and he couldn't care about face, so he picked up the soup spoon and scraped a small piece of cream and tasted it, the essence in his beautiful eyes flashed, and he immediately ate it with the same concentration as Bai Qiannuo and them.

In a short time, the three girls all wiped out the cakes in the bowl.

"Master Li, your cream cake is really delicious, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious pastry in my life." Li Qingzhao praised unsatisfactorily.

"Sister Qingzhao, as long as you like to eat, that's the best compliment to me." Li Qi laughed.

Bai Qiannuo knew that Li Qi admired Li Qingzhao tightly, so he was not jealous, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, how did you get this white cream, why is it so delicious." Bai Qiannuo was pleasantly surprised.

Li Qi smiled and said, "This cream is made of milk, nothing special." But don't be greedy, eating too much is easy to gain weight, and it's not very good for your body. ”

"Will you get fat?" Li Qingzhao frowned.

Li Qi said with a smile: "Sister Qingzhao, it doesn't matter if you eat more, you just don't pay attention to your body too much, you look at the head of the line, you are about the same age as you, how strong your body is, you jumped up and down all morning, like a nobody." ”

Strong?

Feng Yinu was about to bite off the roots, but she couldn't refute it, because as soon as you refuted it, weren't you sarcastic about Li Qingzhao's old age, and the anger pushed the already towering chest to the extreme.

Li Qingzhao's face turned red, and said: "You have to talk nonsense here, what is about the same age, I am more than ten years older than Sister Feng." ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

Li Qi pretended to exclaim, and saw Li Qingzhao looking weak, and said: "However, Sister Qingzhao, you do have to eat something good, or else, after the first birthday banquet, you simply come to Drunken Xianju every day to eat with my wife, you look at my wife, I raised a white and fat woman, how good the complexion is, I promise, within three months, Sister Qingzhao, you can definitely return to the age of eighteen." ”

These words are his sincere words. He knew that Li Qingzhao had been suffering from illness in his later years, and he had never felt good in his heart, but now that he had the opportunity, of course he wanted to help her, wasn't it just a meal, which was nothing to Drunken Xianju.

Chubby for nothing? I really don't know what Sister Wang will think when she hears this? At the age of eighteen, this kid really dares to say anything. Li Qingzhao's delicate face revealed a hint of redness, she really didn't dare to continue this topic, and was just about to refuse Li Qi's kindness, but she heard Li Qi say: "Sister Qingzhao, if you don't come, I will ask someone to deliver food to your house every day." ”

Feng Yinu snorted: "I've seen a lot of people, but I haven't seen anyone forcing others to eat in their own restaurant." ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Feng Xingshou, you are mistaken, I said before, Drunken Xianju is free for Sister Qingzhao forever, and will never charge a penny, this is a kind of respect, forget it, anyway, people like you will not understand what respect is." ”

As soon as Feng Yinu heard this, his face turned iron-blue.

Bai Qiannuo was afraid that Feng Yinu would be mad again, so he hurriedly said: "Sister Li, you just promise Brother Li, otherwise he will really do this kind of thing." ”

"It's still Qi Niang who knows me better." Li Qi nodded.

Li Qingzhao was given a headache by this little couple, nodded and said, "That's-okay then." ”

"That's right?" Li Qi said with a smug smile.

Bai Qiannuo asked again: "By the way, Brother Li, is this cream cake your latest cooking?" ”

"This."

Li Qigang wanted to say yes, but thought that this cream cake was a good card, and he still had to add some color to it, so he shook his head and said, "Oh, no, this cream cake was created by a woman." ”

"Woman?"

Bai Qiannuo was curious: "What woman?" ”

Li Qi explained with a smile: "Actually, this cream cake is also known as 'take me away', in other words, in the past, in a small village in the west, there lived a woman, his husband in the second month after marriage, with the army, went for three years, three years later, his husband finally returned, but not a month, the expedition again, this time the woman did not want to leave her husband again, so he begged his husband to take her with him, but the war is not child's play, how can you bring the family with you." In desperation, the day before her husband went on his expedition, the woman poured together all the things she could eat in the house and roasted them on the stove, not knowing that the milk, mixed with flour, jam, eggs, etc., would make her a very delicious pastry. His husband was also incredulous, but he also understood the meaning behind the pastry, so he agreed to take his wife with him. ”

What's the meaning behind it? What does it mean? Bai Qiannuo was puzzled.

Li Qingzhao smiled bitterly and said: "Qi Niang, that woman has used up all the things that can be eaten in the house, if her husband leaves, then she will starve to death, this woman is indeed respectable for the sake of love." ”

Bai Qian Norden suddenly realized, his eyes turned red, and he sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that there is such a touching story behind this cream cake." ”

After hearing this, Feng Yinu's eyes became deeper, and it was more of a kind of envy.

It seems that I was born to be a big fool.

Li Qi looked at the three girls who were moved, and sighed in his heart. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
