Chapter 148: A small cake was baked
At the beginning of the morning, Zhao Ji opened the door, and the guests who had been waiting outside the door flocked in.
Today, Zhao Ji's reputation has been completely launched in Fengchi County, although the prices of snacks in the store are generally very expensive, but this still can't stop the hearts of foodies.
Originally, Xue Wu positioned children and women as the main guests, but later she found that it was not only children and women who loved to eat snacks, but also guests of all ages, and even more men.
Of course, most of the male customers are entrusted by the children or women of the family to buy snacks home.
Today, as soon as the guests enter the store, they smell a rich fragrance that is not from any kind of food they have eaten before, but unheard of.
Could it be that Zhao Ji has launched a new snack again?
That's right, Zhao Ji launched a new chicken cake.
The chicken cake was introduced to warm up the cake, but Xue Wu learned from Pei Lian and his mother that it would be his birthday soon, and she naturally had to eat birthday cake on her birthday, but when she was Xue Yu, it was not good to take out the cake directly, otherwise it would be easy to arouse suspicion.
So she planned to use Zhao Xiaoxian's identity to teach the cake to Zhen Niang and them, and when they learned it, they would sell it in the store, and then the birthday cake she made for Pei Lin could be excused to say that it was bought from Zhao Ji.
Although she told Mother Xue that they were doing business with another identity, she didn't tell them the specific situation for the sake of insurance, so they didn't know that Zhao Xiaoxian was her.
The cake is mainly made of chicken cake and cream.
Xue Wu first taught Zhenniang how to make their chicken cakes.
She taught the old-fashioned chicken cake method, because this is relatively simple, and the oven that needs to be used can also be replaced by a special stove, and she has seen a video of a food blogger who has remodeled the earthen stove on the basis of the earthen stove, and the built earthen stove can be used as an oven.
Although the temperature cannot be controlled precisely, there is no way to force more in this era.
And this kind of simple oven, she asked someone to build it when she asked someone to decorate the shop, after all, biscuits are a large category of snacks, and to make biscuits, you must use the oven.
It's just that it's summer, and the main snacks in the store are ice cream and spicy bars, and it's not yet the best time to launch cookies, so she didn't teach Jane how to make them.
In fact, the time when she originally planned to launch the cake was not now, but isn't it that the plan can't catch up with the changes? In order to allow Pei Lin to eat cake on her birthday, she could only advance the time.
The ingredients used to make chicken cakes are low-gluten flour, eggs, honey, sugar, and some raisins and white sesame seeds, and the ingredients are salad oil.
Salad oil is a high-grade edible vegetable oil refined by various vegetable crude oil through degumming, decolorization, deodorization (degreasing) and other processing procedures.
Of course Xue Wu can't take it out, after all, the current oil extraction process is not allowed, but the salad oil can be replaced with butter, she has already made a batch of butter in advance, and it is stored in the warehouse in the space.
The warehouse is equipped with a space formation, a temperature control formation and a time formation, which is equivalent to a super-large fresh-keeping warehouse, and it is the kind that keeps it fresh forever.
This has greatly solved her original food storage problem.
Now she doesn't have to worry about the snacks being made for a long time, so that Mu He can also let go of his hands and feet, but he can bury his head in the production of food.
The first jar of butter was made by herself, but after Mu He followed it and read it, she had already learned it, so she didn't have to worry about running out of butter in the future.
As for white sugar, although the production skills of white sugar have been unlocked in this era, the price is still high, and the white sugar produced is not fine, and the color is yellowish, so Xue Wu has decided to grow sugar cane and sugar beets in large quantities in the space.
White sugar is extracted from these two plants.
She had experimented with making sugar by hand before, and now although she didn't have some convenient machines, she had mastered another method - spells, as well as refining tools, talismans and formations, maybe she could refine magic weapons with the same function in the future.
Although she has only mastered the superficial formation skills at present, when she cultivates to a higher level in the future, the memories of her previous life will awaken more, and she will master these skills sooner or later.
For now, let's start with sugar cane and sugar beets.
Once the ingredients are ready, it's time for the specific steps.
In the first step, put the sugar, eggs, and honey in a large basin.
In the second step, a custom-made manual whisk from the carpenter's shop is stirred until a fine foam appears.
Step 3: Continue blending at a much faster speed than just now, and whip the mixture completely until the egg mixture on the tamper does not drip off.
To put it bluntly, these two steps are stirring, constantly stirring, there is no technical content, Xue Wu didn't feel any difficulty when she used a whisk before, but now she mixes manually, and she knows how happy she was to use a whisk before.
Fortunately, she has cultivation now, so she can still insist on such high-speed exercise.
In the fourth step, add the sifted cake flour to the whipped egg mixture, mix well, then add a ball of melted butter and continue to mix well.
If you like raisins, you can put some in them, Xue Wu didn't put them, after all, she is teaching Zhenniang them now, or teach them the most basic methods first, as for what tricks they can develop after they learn it, it is all after they learn.
And after all, it's the first time to do it, and she's not sure if she can succeed, if she doesn't make it by then, won't it be a waste of raisins?
It's better to wait until you're proficient before adding ingredients.
In the fifth step, pour the well-mixed egg mixture into the mold.
Before that, Xue Xue had already asked Xia Xue to burn the oven as a preheat.
Step 6: Put the egg wash in the mold into the oven along with the tray and heat it.
The temperature required to bake a cake is about 160 degrees Celsius, which can be adjusted directly if you use an oven, but now with firewood and an earthen stove, the temperature is not easy to control.
She estimated it, and roasted it on a small fire for a quarter of an hour.
The earthen oven is not sealed, so the fragrance will continue to emit during the roasting process, Qiu Rong took a deep breath: "It's so fragrant!" Girl, how long will it take for the cake to be ready? ”
Xue Wu found that her sense of taste has become much more sensitive after practicing, and she can roughly judge whether it is better or not by smelling the fragrance of food.
At this time, the aroma of the cake has not yet reached its peak.
"We'll have to wait a while."
At one point, her nose told her that the cake was baked!
Earlier, the cake is not fully cooked, and later, the cake will burn, not too early or too late, just right!
