Chapter 142: Victoria's Sponge Cake

Li Fang nodded, "Yes, it's a blacksmith I know well, and all kinds of ironware are very good." "When it comes to familiar topics in everyday life, I finally feel less nervous.

He saw Ji Xiyun watching the young man pour out the syrup, and the solid that shone like crystal in the iron bucket was revealed, and he hurriedly introduced, "This is frosting, also called rock sugar." ”

"Isn't rock candy white?" Modern Song Qingzhi couldn't hold back his surprise.

Ji Xiyun and Li Fang were also surprised, "There is no white frosting, the best is this purple, followed by reddish-brown." ”

Oh, and there is no effective decolorization technique for about the big week.

"How do you turn into powdered sugar?"

"Manpower smashes."

It's so simple and crude?!

Qingzhi was about to ask the details again, so as to see if he could boil the sugar himself and reduce the cost, but Ji Xiyun couldn't stand Li Fang's burning eyes, and went straight to the point, "We want a kilogram of powdered sugar, if it is used appropriately, we will buy it again in the future, we must be as fine as possible, there is nothing else, let's go first!" After speaking, he pulled the green branch and wanted to leave.

Li Fang immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" I know, I'll send you the best. ”

Ji Xiyun was about to leave, but Qingzhi said to Li Fang, "Can you introduce me to that blacksmith?" I'd like to get him some tools. ”

Li Fang nodded, "Okay!" You went and said that I introduced it, and it would be cheaper. ”

"Thank you!"

She just needed to make cake molds.

Li Fang sent the two out of the door and waited for them to go away before going back.

Ji Xiyun could feel the hot eyes behind him.

Next, the two went to the blacksmith shop, Qingzhi took out the schematic diagram drawn in his arms, and explained it for a long time, and the blacksmith nodded and said that he could do it, and he could take it tomorrow.

The sun was in the west, and the two returned home.

Ji Xiyun sat on the chair and shouted, "Qingzhi, let's let the mother-in-law cook some noodles and eat them, let's rest quickly!" I'm so tired that I'm going to fall apart! ”

"Gotta make jam!"

Victoria's sponge cake is usually strawberry or raspberry jam, Qingzhi tried to inquire for a while, and Da Zhou didn't seem to have strawberries or raspberries.

So she had to use the apple hawthorn common in Liangzhou City in winter to make a mixed sauce, and add a little more sugar, which should be good...... Right?

Ji Xiyun sighed, came over to help Qingzhi wash the hawthorn, and used a knife to remove the pedicle and core, and the apples were also cleaned, peeled and cored.

Put the fruit in a pot and cook it, press it into small pieces constantly, add a lot of rock sugar, bottle it, and then steam it even in the bottle, and it's done.

After making jam, it was late at night, and the old woman who did the rough work had already gone to sleep, Qingzhi personally cooked the noodles, and the two hurriedly washed and fell asleep after eating, and she read the strategy again before falling asleep.

When I got up the next morning, I went to try the apple hawthorn sauce first, which was really sweet and refreshing, appetizing and delicious.

It's off to a good start.

Qingzhi lit firewood, preheated the oven, and ran to the blacksmith to get the mold.

After Ji Xiyun married Pan Ba at the age of sixteen, he didn't worry about everything, he was still a child, and he saw that making 'cakes' was interesting, so he also made it with Qingzhi.

The two of them reconciled the powdered sugar, butter, flour, eggs, and milk that Li Fang had brought them, and put them into two round molds of the same size, and Qingzhi carefully put the two molds into the oven.

It didn't take long for the smell of freshly baked cakes to come out, and Ji Xiyun asked several times, "When can I eat it?" ”

"I also want to make sandwiches!"

Ji Xi Yunyan watched as Qingzhi mixed butter with powdered sugar, and because the powdered sugar had a purple tinge, he made a slightly purple cream.

The cake was baked and taken out, the shape was perfect, Qingzhi was shocked, could it be that the original body was a little expert in baking skills?

When the two cake embryos have cooled down, Qingzhi begins to carefully apply cream on top of one embryo and jam on top of the other.

Wash the kitchen knife, cut a piece and hand it to Xiyun, "Eat!" Delicious! ”

Xiyun was a little hesitant at first, but after tasting it, he quickly ate the rest.

"Qingzhi, this one can definitely be sold! It's so delicious! Hurry up, you eat a piece too! ”

Qingzhi looked at the rest of the cake, "Forget it, let's try to sell it first, the cost is so expensive!" "Powdered sugar, butter, milk are all expensive.

Ji Xiyun then remembered, pulled Qingzhi to sit down and calculate the cost, the more he calculated, the more frightened he became, even if everyone liked it, no one would buy it, it was too expensive!

"Why don't we share this cake and eat it, and then think of another way?"

Aoeda laughed, "It's a beautiful idea!" No way! The dim sum shop still wants to rely on this to turn over! Let's take it out, and you will take a look at it among the regular customers? ”

Pan Ba's dim sum has many regular customers in this area, most of them are female dependents of various families, Ji Xiyun and Qingzhi divided the cake into a large piece, cut it into the shape of dice, and went out to market research.

The feedback is very good, everyone likes to eat it very much! However, no one said they wanted to buy it, it was too expensive! For the money you pay for a piece of cake, you can buy a small bag of snacks! Enough to eat for several days.

Ji Xi Yun sat by the fire, "I love to eat!" I just can't afford to buy it! Stingy! ”

Qingzhi covered the cake and put it outside, fortunately it was cold, and it shouldn't be a problem to leave it for three or four days, and walked in and said, "Maybe rich people are willing to buy it." ”

"Rich people live in places like Chunmingfang, and the houses are deep, and we can't see them."

Qingzhi thought for a while, "The Hu people over there in Todai Temple may love to eat, they are in business, they have money in their hands, they should be willing to spend, I will go there tomorrow to recommend it." ”

"Don't, don't, if someone says a few words, it's embarrassing!"

"What's that? It's okay, if you're afraid, you don't have to go, I'll do it myself! ”

Qingzhi said this, she was quite surprised, she was doing administrative work in the office before the crossing, and she didn't have any sales experience, let alone selling on the street, so it stands to reason that she should be a little nervous, but now she is in a stable state of mind.

Could it be that the original body was for door-to-door sales? Awesome, I feel that the original life experience is very rich, and Qingzhi suddenly has a little confidence.

However, Ji Xiyun didn't, she said to Qingzhi with a sad face, "No one will buy the cake, and I must not want to have a step-nephew, otherwise I would still marry Li Fang, the Pan family relies on his sugar mill, marry him, at least I can hire a dim sum chef, and this shop will be opened." ”

"Huh? Can you also hire a dim sum chef? Why didn't you tell me? ”

"The two of us can't hire it! Liangzhou City makes home-cooked dim sum, how much does it know the Pan family, unless the Pan family says yes, how can anyone dare to help me? ”

Song Qingzhi thought for a while and said sincerely, "If you think Li Fangren is okay, then this idea is not bad." ”

"I don't like that he only has one eye, and besides, he always looks at me so hotly, I think it's weird."

“…… Then let me try it at Todaiji Temple, it's better to rely on yourself than to get married. "Although Qingzhi has never been in love, she often sees statements like 'men are unreliable' on the Internet, and I think it makes sense.
