Chapter 421: Twenty Birthday
When the luxury is over, you have to work to earn money.
It's all here, of course, you have to go back to your old job.
Help people hunt, hunt all day and collect 400 wentmen.
Be a big boss in the eyes of others.
The closer he got to Wuping City, the more capable people appeared, and the stronger his strength became, Xue Langjing could occasionally see those with similar strength to himself, or even stronger.
Needless to say, those who are stronger than her are definitely in the innate realm or stronger.
On this day, after breakfast, Xue Langjing went hunting, but Lin Yuwen did not sleep back as usual, but untied the burden of his baby.
After carefully selecting for a long time, she took out a set of clothes and wrapped it in distress, and walked out with it in her arms, walking and walking, muttering in her mouth, "This girl is not as stingy as you, hum." ”
Then she went out with her clothes in her hand, walked around the city for a long time, and then entered a pawnshop.
When he came out, he was empty-handed.
It seems that she is finally willing to be her own clothes.
If anyone approaches her, one can hear her complaining, "What a broken pawnshop, if it is as black as a crow in the world, this girl will give me twelve taels of silver for the clothes she bought for thirty taels of silver." ”
After complaining a few words, he continued shopping.
Compared with the usual empty-handed shopping and empty-handed, today she can finally have a luxury, she can buy whatever she wants, hehe.
Of course, she didn't forget to get down to business.
When passing by the wax shop, I went in and bought a lot of candles, then eggs, sugar, flour, etc., and finally went to the house of the cow to pick up a lot of milk, as for other needs, the back kitchen of the inn should have it, and she didn't need to match it one by one.
Speaking of this milk, she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, this was promoted by her ancestors, saying that it was beneficial to the people's health.
In the past, milk and meat were the standard for soldiers in the army.
It is also because the imperial court has invested heavily in the army, so that the soldiers of Da Chu can conquer everything and be invincible.
It's a pity that later, because of the emptiness of the treasury, ordinary soldiers could not enjoy it, and they became the exclusive use of the upper ranks.
Alas, don't talk about this.
Having bought almost everything she needed, she wandered around for a while before returning to the inn.
I used to make cakes in the palace a few times, but there were no professional tools outside, and I didn't know if I could make it successful.
Forget it, let's cut the candle first.
Back at the inn, Lin Yuwen went directly back to the room and began to sharpen the candles, and he was busy in the afternoon.
The candle on the birthday cake has to be cut much thinner, and it can also be carved with some patterns.
There are no good candles in the incense candle shop, that is, yellow wax and white wax.
Yellow wax is much more expensive than white wax, and on her twentieth birthday, she can put two yellow candles, each ten years old, but she feels that two are a bit too little, and it can't show her sincerity, so simply one yellow, and ten white ones are inserted around, which also represents twenty years old.
A sword carved on a yellow candle, a white candle, five carved bows, and five carved arrows.
Well, perfect.
You have to do your best, and she buys a lot of candles anyway.
After cutting all the candles, she picked the one she was most satisfied with.
A morning went by.
After lunch, she went to the shopkeeper with the materials she bought and borrowed the kitchen from him.
The inn they live in is not small, and the back kitchen is also large, and the time she borrowed is past the busiest time in the kitchen, and she has enough rental fees, so the shopkeeper naturally agrees.
Looking at what she is wearing, she looks like a rich lady, not like a frequent cook, and the shopkeeper specially sent a small chef to be her assistant.
When she came to the back kitchen, Lin Yuwen looked around and asked the chef to find out all the ingredients she needed, and she was going to start making cream.
The method of making cream is not complicated, that is, the raw milk is boiled first, and then the cream is beaten after cooking.
In the past, she basically failed four or five times out of ten, not to mention that there were no tools she needed here, and the success rate was even smaller, so she bought enough raw milk.
Subsequently, she boiled six servings of milk in a row.
During this period, I asked the chef to beat a lot of eggs, and I had to separate the egg whites from the egg yolks.
To make the cream, you only need egg whites.
Prepare the ingredients and whip the cream.
Of course, it wasn't her who came, but the cook.
Don't get me wrong, she didn't plan to direct the cook, but let him try it first, see if the milk he cooked was good, and if not, change it until he succeeded in making the cream, and then try it himself.
Making a birthday cake for Lang Jing, she is very sincere, but no matter how sincere she is, how tiring this cream is, especially if there is no whisk here, she is even more tired.
If you let her try the milk over and over again, her physical strength will not allow it!
This cake is made by herself, which is already her greatest sincerity.
The first time, failure.
The second time, it still failed.
I did it five times in a row, and finally, this milk seems to be good.
Looking at the cream made by the cook, she used her chopsticks to pick some and try them, they would not drip and stand up when they were picked up in the basin.
Make the cream successfully.
She then cooks the cream by heating it and stirring it herself.
Scooped a spoonful and put it in my mouth, well, the taste is good, but it is a little lighter, and I will add more sugar later.
Looking at the tired and paralyzed cook, Lin Yuwen was fiercely grateful, and then handed him the cream, "Xiao Zhao, for your hard work, it will be given to you, which can be regarded as a reward for you." ”
Carefully taking the cream, the cook asked her in disbelief, "Give it, give it to me?" ”
There were a few eggs, and there was expensive milk, and a lot of oil, and sugar.
Moreover, in order to make this snow-white thing, they wasted a full four ingredients, which was worth several days' wages.
At this moment, the chef's heart is full of warmth, and if he says that he is not moved, it must be fake.
Lin Yuwen didn't care much and said, "Yes, you deserve to make you work so hard." ”
After saying that, she started making it herself.
Divide the milk, oil, and sugar into quarters and set aside.
The production process is not difficult, but it is laborious.
First of all, knock the eggs, separate the egg yolk and egg white, take only the egg white, put it in a basin, there is no whisk, you can only use chopsticks, beat the egg white in one direction, and break it up.
Subsequently, the sound of "tuk tuk, tuk tuk" continued to sound.
Until a small layer of foam appeared on the egg white, she stopped, put the first milk, oil, and sugar into the basin, and continued to beat.
Alas, this is really manual work, and after only fighting for a while, Lin Yuwen shook his hand several times, shouting in his heart that he was tired.
That's why every time she makes a cake, she always tells herself that this is the last time she will make it.
It is an immutable truth that sincerity comes at a price.
Spit and complain, and the work at hand still has to continue.
Seeing that the milk in the basin was already a little thick, Lin Yuwen continued to add ingredients.
Fight like this for a while, and then add the next ingredient.
Halfway through the fight, she regretted it again, she should have let the cook fight, so tired, woo.
Hmph, this villain, she treats her so well, she also eats some cheap food for herself, lives in a waiting room, she eats meat, drinks soup by herself, she is so angry, I really don't want to make her cake!
The more his hands were beaten, the more sore he became, Lin Yuwen remembered the meal a few days ago, and then looked at the white thick foam in the basin, and imagined it as Xue Langjing, who was stingy with himself, and beat and beat hard.
Well, that's a lot easier.
