Chapter 62: Gathering to Taste the Flavor of Qi
As soon as I finished eating eggs at noon, the little hen at home was very face-saving, and laid eggs in the afternoon.
Speaking of which, these chickens are still coral-fed, and now that they have laid eggs, the little girl must be happy.
It's just five hens, but they only lay two eggs, and there are four children in the family, but it's not enough.
With nothing to do, Liuli pondered what to make with this egg, and when the children came back, she would treat them well.
The first thing that comes to mind is the famous dish of later generations, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but there are no tomatoes at home......
After searching around the kitchen, he suddenly found that there was still some milk at home, and Liuli suddenly had an idea.
She bought the milk to give the family a few small body supplements, but she didn't expect the two to be disgusted tight, saying that there was a milky smell and she didn't like to drink.
Now this milk is just right for her to use to make cakes.
In the past, her favorite food was chiffon cake, and she was willing to make it at home, but since she came here, Liuli really hasn't eaten this flavor for a long time, and she was eager to try it.
The most critical and difficult part of making cakes is the step of beating the egg whites.
Beat the egg whites and yolks separately in different utensils, especially the ones containing egg whites, which must be oil-free and water-free to ensure a smooth whipping.
Liuli played for a whole hour, and her tired arm was sore, so she could be regarded as beating the egg white.
The rest of the steps are not difficult, mix the milk, egg yolk, flour and sugar and stir well, and finally mix with the beaten egg white, and steam in the pot.
This toss and turn until dusk, and the sound of the carriage sounds, and it is the coral who has returned.
Liuli hurriedly greeted him: "How is it, is it going well?" ”
"It's so smooth," Coral ran in front, holding Liuli's hand and chattering: "The shopkeeper at the beginning was afraid that we wouldn't sell well, Tete arranged a clever guy to help, but as soon as the sale started, we sold the top of the best, I was responsible for collecting money to entertain guests, Xiaocao just took the goods, I said how much she would take, the guy later saw that he couldn't intervene, so he left, hahaha." ”
"Is it really that capable?" Liuli was pleasantly surprised, "Next time I go, I have to ask Shopkeeper Zhou." ”
"Ask, ask, even Shopkeeper Zhou praised us, what green and what blue."
"Blue is better than blue." Ruri corrected, "So, it's more powerful than my sister." ”
"Hey, hey," Sango smiled, her face full of pride, "In the afternoon, there was a beautiful sister who bought a lot of fruit dan peels at once." ”
Thinking that this person is Hongxiang, Liuli said in his heart.
A few people entered the courtyard, and Coral suddenly exclaimed again: "Wow, it's so fragrant!" ”
Liuli smiled: "Knowing that you are working hard today, my sister specially made delicious food." ”
"Really? What is it? Coral asked busily.
Zhou Xiaocao's eyes were also shining, full of anticipation.
"It's not ripe yet, let's eat it together when Amber gets out of school."
After a while, Amber came back, and Ruri happened to prepare other dinners, after all, the cake was not much, and it would definitely not be enough to eat this alone.
When the pot is raised, a burst of sweet flavor comes to the nostrils, mixed with a rich milky aroma.
Coral saliva is about to flow out: "Second sister, what is it?" It's so fragrant~"
"It's called a cake, and it's made with milk and eggs that you don't like to drink."
"Milk?"
"Eggs?"
Two exclamations sounded at the same time, it was Zhou Xiaoshu who shouted milk, he didn't like the taste of milk the most, how to cook it was full of fishy smell, I didn't expect that the food called cake would smell so good.
It was Coral who shouted eggs: "Our little hen has laid eggs?" ”
"Yes, I made this cake with two pieces today." Liuli Road.
"Oh, oh, the hen lays eggs." Coral is like a mother who has finally raised her child to become a talent, dancing with her hands.
Liuli cut the cake into five parts, everyone got a small piece, and sat down with coral: "Hurry up and rest, it's been a busy day outside, how can you still have so much energy." How about tasting this cake? ”
Everyone sat around the dining table, holding this fluffy and soft thing, and they were reluctant to eat it for a while.
Amber pressed the top of the cake: "It's so soft." ”
"It's delicious just by smelling it." Zhou Xiaocao praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Then let's try it." Liuli's words fell, and he took the lead in eating.
Others also started eating.
Although the cake is not oven-baked, it looks worse than the real chiffon cake, but the taste is just as delicious.
A few small ones have never eaten such soft and fluffy food, and when they bite into it, they are like biting cotton, but they still have a milky fragrance and an indescribable rich taste, and for a while only the sound of "En" and "Huh" came out, and they couldn't speak.
"Is it delicious?" Ruri asked.
"Delicious! Is there still a second sister? "I obviously didn't get enough of the coral snacks.
"It's gone today, and I'll do it again when our hens lay eggs again."
The other people are also obviously unsatisfied, but now they can only eat obediently.
"By the way, Xiaoshu, how about you go to the city to find craftsmen today?"
"Well, I've almost inquired, and the craftsman team led by Li Dachuang in the south of the city heard that it was good, so I went to inquire, and the people in the market praised them for doing their best work."
"But you see someone else?" Ruri asked.
"Seeing this, I also inquired with him about the price, and it costs five taels of silver to build a wing, and we have to buy the materials ourselves."
"This nature," Ruri said, "how long will it take for them to finish?" ”
"Eight of them will work together, and it will be covered in about a month."
Liuli nodded: "In this way, when I go back to the city next time, I will go with you to find him, and the two sides will make a contract, and then ask them to start construction." ”
Zhou Xiaoshu nodded yes.
The next day, the little hen at home laid two more eggs, and Liuli made a cake again, but it was carefully packed in a food box, and no matter how a few dolls in the family salivated, they went to the mansion with the finished cake.
Speaking of which, people rescued her and helped her, but she didn't know the other party's name yet, Liuli said in her heart, she must ask his name this time.
I've been here many times, and the porter has known Liuli for a long time, although the attitude is still not good, but he is willing to pass it on for her to go in.
After a while, the porter returned, followed by Ace.
Seeing the acquaintance, Liuli immediately greeted him: "Ace, I'm here again, and I've brought you and my son new food." ”
Who knew that Ah Ce did not look relaxed as before, and pulled Liuli aside with a solemn face: "Childe is not free today, Erniang will come back another day." ”
"What's wrong?" Liuli was stunned.
Ah Ce glanced left and right, and whispered: "Childe's brother is sick, and he wants to copy the scriptures and pray for his brother, so he can't see you today." ”
