Chapter 25: Birthday Gifts

Longevity noodles, Yue Li doesn't like it a little, if it's an ordinary person's, making longevity noodles is naturally brilliant.

But this is the palace, and the person he needs to give a gift to is the emperor, so he makes a bowl of longevity noodles, which is too shabby.

Longevity noodles can be made privately for cheap fathers, and on the day of the saint's birthday, it is congratulated by civil and military officials.

Everyone's gifts will be put on display, just a bowl of longevity noodles, Yue Li really can't take it.

She pondered for a while, what do you eat for your birthday in modern times?

Birthday cake!

Yue Li's eyes lit up, the birthday cake could be made a little more bells and whistles, and the design was a little more colorful, it was completely out of control!

"Let's Jing'an Palace, do we have a kitchen?"

Now that you've decided to make a birthday cake, you can't do it again when it's time to do it, and what if you forget any steps and mess up the makeshift cake.

"Princess, of course there is a small kitchen in Jing'an Palace, and there are all the ingredients in it!"

Yue Li smiled with satisfaction, she got up from the chaise longue and decided to go to the kitchen to experiment now!

In the kitchen, Yue Li read out a series of ingredients and asked them to help find them.

To make a birthday cake, the most important thing is the cream, Yue Li beat a few eggs in a bowl and separated the yolk and egg white.

She first added some white sugar to the egg white bowl, demonstratively sent the egg whites a few times in one direction, and then gave the bowl containing the egg whites to Xundong, and instructed:

"Just like I just did, I have been mixing quickly in one direction, if you are tired of mixing, pass it on to the next one, and the next one will continue to mix, do you hear?"

They nodded, signaling that they understood.

Yue Li circled around the small kitchen twice, she was thinking about a question, what if there is no oven, do you steam it directly?

What will happen when it is steamed, Yue Li has not tried it in the 21st century, but now he can only try it with the steaming method first.

She took out a bowl, added some cooking oil and milk to the bowl and stirred it a few times, and added flour to mix it into a batter.

At this time, you can add the eggs that have just been separated, and Yue Li added three egg yolks.

Since it was only the first experimental cake, she didn't know what it would be like to make it.

Stir again until well blended.

Yue Li raised her head at this time and looked at the palace maids, who were trying their best to beat the egg whites.

She chuckled a few lowly, always finding it amusing.

She walked up to the men, checked the egg whites, and motioned for them to continue before they were ready.

Yue Li was extremely glad that she was wearing a princess, and there were many palace maids accompanying her.

If she was asked to whip the cream with her bare hands, she sighed, it wasn't impossible, but after making a cake, she would feel like her hands were wasted.

The time for a stick of incense passed, and Xun Dong finally wore a shout.

Yue Li hurriedly walked over to take a look, scooped a spoonful from the cream with a small spoon, and found that it could be turned upside down into a curved hook, and it was done, and it could be used.

Yue Li took this bowl of cream to the previous bowl of batter and instructed, "Go and boil the water in the pot." ”

Yue Li added one-third of the cream to the batter, tossed from bottom to top, mixed well, and then poured the bowl of batter into the cream, and continued to mix evenly.

The surrounding palace maids had never seen such a fresh thing, and they all stood by and watched.

"Looking for winter, see if the water is boiling?"

He looked over there and replied, "All right, princess!" ”

Yue Li found a round-bottom mold, and I don't know what it is for, but the shape is very suitable for steaming cakes.

She poured the batter into the mold, laid it out, and shook it on the table a few times.

I found a disc from the kitchenware and covered it on the mold, so that the side could be steamed in the pot.

She carefully put the batter into the pan. Cover the pot and instruct:

"Take care of the fire, and don't lift the lid of the pot!"

The day in June was already very hot, Yue Li couldn't stand the heat wave in the kitchen, so she ordered someone to set up a chair at the door and lit a stick of incense, and now she didn't know the passage of time, so she could only look at this pillar of incense.

Yue Li sat at the door and guarded, and there was a little palace maid beside her who was afraid that she would be hot, so she fanned her diligently.

Half a pillar of incense passed, Yue Li estimated that it was already good inside, so he went into the small kitchen, opened the lid, and wanted to take something to cover it and bring it down.

But Panxiang saw her movements and hurriedly stopped her.

"Princess, don't go, it's dangerous by the fire, let the slave and maid help you bring it down."

Yes, Yue Li could only stand and wait.

watched Panxiang grab a handkerchief, wrap the edge of the mold, and put it on the table in one go.

Yue Li turned the handkerchief in Panxiang's hand and wrapped the plate covered on it, took the plate off, put it on the table, wrapped the mold again, and carefully shook it on the table a few times.

Commanding the little palace maids to find a big plate, Yue Li put two pairs of chopsticks on it, and then buckled the mold upside down on the chopsticks, waiting for it to cool and demold.

Whether it is successful or not, it depends on how the mold is released.

The palace maids around them took a deep breath, and they smelled a particularly sweet smell, which came from the round thing.

I didn't expect what the finished thing would be, after all, their princess had never been in the kitchen.

But the burst of fragrance coming from now made them think that their princess was too powerful! The first time I cooked, I didn't burn down the kitchen, but instead made something that made people smell very attractive.

I don't know if it's going to be delicious, everyone can't help but think about it.

Yue Li was also a little apprehensive in her heart, after all, it was the first time for her to make steamed cakes, and the steps were all according to the test cake, and she didn't have the tools to use the amount or anything, and she couldn't get it for sure.

Finally, the cake in the mold was cold, and Yue Li carefully unmolded the cake.

A round and fragrant cake that did not collapse appeared in front of everyone.

Yue Li carefully cut it, cut it into a small piece, and took a bite, the taste was soft and sweet.

Yue Li's eyes widened when he ate, this is the taste!

Unexpectedly, the first time I used the steamed one was successful, Yue Li opened his mouth with a smile.

motioned to a group of palace maids to come and share the food.

This time, they were able to make a successful cake without their help, and this first trial gave them a taste of freshness.

Yue Li walked to the study satisfied, she had to think about it, she should make a birthday cake with a good appearance

Try to make it look good and tasty.

But what should be used to dye the cream when the time comes?

Yue Li secretly wondered if she could use the juice of any flowers and plants to dye the cream.

You can try it, but I don't know if the cream will have a strange taste.
