Chapter 10: The Unheard of

Min Wanwan hurriedly returned home and put down her things, went out with two eggs in her arms, and turned around and ran to Aunt Ma's house at the east end of the village.

Cream is indispensable for making cakes, but where can she find any cream here, she can only start from the raw materials.

There are only a few sheep families in the whole village, and she inquired, and Aunt Ma's family happened to raise such a milk ewe.

As soon as I walked to the door, I smelled a strong smell of sheep's flesh, and a few sheep cries came from time to time.

"Aunt Ma, are you at home?"

Min Wanwan tried to knock on the door and shouted inside.

It didn't take long for the door to creak open from the inside, and I saw Aunt Ma holding her trouser leg and a sieve in her arms.

"Yo! Isn't this Cheng Yan's new daughter-in-law, hurry in. ”

Aunt Ma pulled her voice and hurriedly beckoned Min Wanwan to enter the courtyard.

Min Wanwan was not polite, and hurriedly walked in, carefully took out the two eggs from her arms, and handed them to Aunt Ma with a smile.

"Auntie, I got married to Cheng Yan a few days ago, and you are also a distant relative of my mother's family, so I don't want to send you two red eggs."

Speaking of this Aunt Ma, she can be regarded as a distant relative of her mother's family, and with this level, she will be able to speak next.

Looking at the two eggs handed over by Min Wanwan, Aunt Ma suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly put the eggs down and carefully placed them in the basket on the side.

"You see you're here all here, what eggs are you bringing, since you have brought them, the aunt will accept them!"

Aunt Ma grinned, she was so happy, obviously she wasn't polite to Min Wanwan at all, after all, she was not stupid enough not to accept the expensive eggs delivered to the door.

Min Wanwan couldn't see that this aunt Ma was also a person who liked to take advantage of small things, nodded with a smile, sat down and chatted with her for a while, and then said the purpose of this trip.

"Auntie, can you squeeze some milk from our sheep to me, don't you see how much money is appropriate, I'll buy some ......"

Before Min Wanwan finished speaking, she was interrupted by Aunt Ma, who hurriedly waved her hand and grinned: "What kind of money do you want, just squeeze as much as you want to take it, this goat's milk is not a precious thing!" ”

This goat's milk is indeed not a precious thing in this era, the smell is so bad and fishy, no one will drink it at all, and it is basically poured.

Although Aunt Ma was greedy and cheap, she had just received some benefits from other people's eggs, so she hurriedly walked into the kitchen, took a scoop, and squeezed a scoop full of goat milk for Min Wanwan.

"Thank you so much, auntie." After taking the ladle filled with goat's milk, Min Wanwan followed Aunt Ma to say a few polite words, and then went home with great interest.

Back at home, Min Wanwan carefully put the goat's milk on the table, and Cheng Yan, who was lying on the kang, smelled the smell of sheep from a distance.

He was a little puzzled: "Wanwan, what are you milking this goat for?" ”

Looking at the things on the table, Cheng Yan really couldn't think of what he was going to do.

Min Wanwan smiled mysteriously, touched her chin and looked at the materials on the table and thought for a long time.

"I don't know if it will work, but let's try it first......"

Seeing her in the house, busy working back and forth, Cheng Yan was also lying on the kang and doing anxious for her, only hating himself for not even being able to help with this little favor, and secretly made up his mind that if his leg was really good, he would definitely not be able to live up to Min Wanwan.

Of course, there were no electric ovens for making cakes in this era, but fortunately there was an old-fashioned stove with warm water in the kitchen, and it could be replaced by improvisation.

Although there is no regular flour for cakes, Min Wanwan can make do with ordinary flour and cornstarch directly mixed with corn starch bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Making cream is the heaviest, because there is no stirrer, you can only use chopsticks to stir slowly, looking at Cheng Yan who was lying on the kang and wanted to help, Min Wanwan specially handed over the egg beating work to him, and it would not let him be in a hurry there.

"Wanwan, what is this beaten for, the eggs are so sparsely beaten, can they still be used?"

Looking at the already frothy egg yolk in the bowl, Cheng Yan couldn't help but question.

After all, this egg is very expensive, can you still eat it like this?

Min Wanwan smiled and nodded, stunned not to tell him what it was for.

"It's not enough to fight, you just fight, and when I say stop, you will stop ......"

She explained to Cheng Yan carefully, and kept rubbing the noodles that had just been reconciled in her hands.

Because the place inside the stove is about the size of two fists, the big cake can't be made, so you can only make two small cakes and try it first.

Because of Cheng Yan's help and the strength of his big man, the cream was soon ready.

Looking at the white foaming cream in the bowl, Cheng Yan really opened his eyes, he had lived for so long, and it was the first time he had seen this thing.

What he couldn't figure out the most was that he saw Min Wanwan carefully sprinkle some finely chopped white sugar on it and stir it.

"Wanwan, this thing, do you want to put white sugar?"

After all, in this year, sugar and eggs are a level of expensive things, who would have thought that there would be sugar in it, which made Cheng Yan even more eager to see what she made.

After all, the materials in this are very expensive.

It didn't take long for Min Wanwan to take out two baked small cake embryos from the stove, although the face was a little mushy because the old-fashioned stove could not control the heat well, but she didn't care about these, after all, it was already a great luck to be able to make cakes with these things in this era.

After setting the cake base aside to cool, she took a sliced tree trunk and skillfully applied the cream to the cake base.

Although these tools are very immature, as a senior chef at Michelin in the 21st century, using these things is still a piece of cake for Min Wanwan.

Soon, the cake began to take shape, she made a simple piping bag out of flour-wrapped oil-headed paper, and under Cheng Yan's gaze, she squeezed lifelike flowers on the cake embryo.

Cheng Yan opened his mouth wide and was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he had never seen such a thing, he only felt that the cake on the table was amazing, and he secretly wondered what it tasted like.

"Would you like to try it?" Min Wanwan was very satisfied with Cheng Yan's reaction, what she wanted was such an effect, when the time came, putting this cake on the old man's birthday banquet would definitely overpower the scrivener's shark fin.

Min Wanwan smiled and narrowed her eyes, handed one of the small cakes to Cheng Yan, and pulled a piece with a spoon.

Cheng Yan opened his mouth and ate it without ambiguity, and nodded a few times in Min Wanwan's expectation, this is a taste he has never tasted, sweet but not greasy and there is no fishy smell of goat's milk at all, it is simply a novelty.

"Wanwan, what the hell is this?"

He hadn't eaten it since he was a child, and if this thing appeared at the old man's birthday banquet, it would definitely amaze the whole village.

"It's called a cake, and absolutely no one in the village has ever heard of it."

Min Wanwan grinned and grasped it very well, because the trial of the cake was successful, she couldn't wait to find Dr. Fang to try it.
