Chapter 52: Birthday
"Smack!"
In the forest house, He Yuan broke the eggs and put them in a small steel basin.
Then, beat the egg yolk with a hand whip and shake well.
Pour in the corn oil, add milk, sugar, salt, low flour, etc., and continue to stir well.
Take out a woven pattern of bamboo and put it in the pot and cover the pot.
With a sigh, He Yuan put the basin on the fire in the kitchen and waited slowly.
"Puff puff!"
After a few minutes, the lid on the basin was pushed open by the rising heat, He Yuan turned down the heat slightly, and then, with force, pressed the lid down to prevent the heat in the basin from escaping.
Originally, to make cakes, you can put the pot (mold) directly into the oven and adjust the time.
However, since this game is on the path of cold weapons, there must be no electrical appliances or anything like that.
Therefore, He Yuan can only use this stupid method, turn down the heat to avoid the cake under the bran, and hold down the lid of the basin to keep the cake in the basin above a certain temperature.
"Huh?"
After a few more minutes, He Yuan felt that the pressure coming from the basin was getting bigger and bigger, and there was a tendency to gradually lift the lid of the basin, knowing that this was cake foaming, he counted silently in his heart.
"Almost."
The fire was extinguished, the lid was removed, and sure enough, the woven bamboo slices were all topped by the cake.
"Then, the cake needs to be poured out, uh......"
Removing the bamboo slices, He Yuan was just about to pour the cake out of the basin, but he saw the pattern of the cake on the surface.
If you just pour it out, the pattern will be pressed underneath, right?
"Is it the other way around?"
After looking at the sky, He Yuan sighed, reached out and clicked on the cake in the basin, digitized it, and then beat the eggs again and put in the condiments......
……
"I'm back."
A clear voice sounded, followed by the sound of the door closing.
"Welcome back, Asuna."
He Yuan stood up from the table and greeted Asuna.
"What's wrong? Is there something going on? Why did you email me today and tell me to come back? ”
"I said, have you forgotten what day it is?"
Putting the chair in place, after Asuna sat down, He Yuan sat down opposite Asuna and rolled his eyes.
"What day is it?"
Asuna pondered for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Is it a holiday today?" But why do I feel like everyone has a festive atmosphere? ”
"Of course, it's not a holiday in the first place." patted his head, He Yuan didn't understand Asuna's confusion.
After all, if you don't look at the date in the system bar almost every day for the last month, few people pay attention to the date except for holidays when time passes in the game.
"Today is September 30th, September 30th."
"September 30th, huh? September 30th? ”
Asuna muttered a little, and finally, as if suddenly reacting, her voice increased considerably.
"Uh-huh."
Smiling and nodding, He Yuan got up and brought out a birthday cake from the kitchen, and on the white cream, He Yuan wrote the words "Happy Birthday" with a red recovery potion.
Placing the cake in front of Asuna, He Yuan said softly: "Happy birthday, Asuna." ”
"My, birthday?"
With her right hand slightly bent to her mouth, Asuna looked shocked.
Think about it, how long have you been in the game?
I even forgot my birthday, and I still need He Yuan to remind him.
It's just that he shouldn't have told He Yuan about his birthday, right? Why would he know?
But it's a lot of fun.
"Thank you, thank you, He Yuan."
Looking at He Yuan standing next to him, Asuna's eyes were hot, she hugged He Yuan's waist and muttered.
"Hey, hey."
patted Asuna on the back, and He Yuan said softly: "Okay, Asuna, today is your birthday, be happy." ”
"Well, make a wish, and cut the cake."
"Hmm."
Letting go of the hand holding He Yuan, Asuna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded with a smile.
Then he folded his hands slightly in front of his chest and closed his eyes.
"Happy Birthday!"
"Hmm."
A few seconds later, Asuna, who had made a wish, opened her eyes and heard He Yuan's blessing again.
And, took the knife in He Yuan's hand and prepared to cut the cake.
"Na, He Yuan, what do these words mean?"
Asuna, who was about to go under the knife, saw the strange words written by He Yuan using the red recovery potion on the cake cream, and couldn't help asking.
"Huh?"
He Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the cake under Asuna's knife, which made He Yuan almost not jump.
"Fainted, miscalculated."
The words on the cake are none other than the words "Happy Birthday".
However, it is not "Happy Birthday" in Japanese, but "Happy Birthday" in Chinese.
The "main god" sent himself into Sword Art Online, perhaps because of the AR game, or maybe because of the power of the "main god", He Yuan can understand the neon language in it, and on the other hand, what He Yuan said, Asuna and others can also understand.
This made He Yuan ignore a problem, that is, he couldn't speak or write neon at all.
So, habitually, he wrote "Happy Birthday" in Chinese.
Moreover, it is the text of the world in which he lives.
The world is different, and the language and writing will definitely be different.
He Yuan would not have thought that with Asuna's mother's request for her, she would not be allowed to learn the language and writing of this dragon country.
However, now Asuna doesn't know these words written by He Yuan, which proves that there must be a difference between the words of the two worlds.
"This is a kind of text that means 'Happy Birthday.'"
As for the source of the text, He Yuan could only make a haha and translate the meaning of these words to Asuna.
"Huh? That's right. ”
Nodding, Asuna expressed her understanding, but in her heart, her sense of He Yuan's origin became more and more blurred.
In terms of pronunciation, the pronunciation of "He Yuan" is indeed the name of the huge country across the sea, but looking at this text, it doesn't look like that country at all.
"So, I'm going."
Shaking her head and throwing these thoughts out of her mind, Asuna smiled and divided the cake into eight pieces, put it on a plate, handed one to He Yuan, and then folded her hands and spoke.
"Well, I'm on the move, too."
Following Asuna's doing, He Yuan raised the fork in his hand.
In other words, although this cake was made by himself, and a few copies were wasted in the previous practice, He Yuan really hadn't eaten a bite.
"Well, it's delicious!"
That's Asuna's comment.
