Chapter 054: Birthday Cake
First, beat a few eggs, separate the egg whites from the yolks, and put them in a large bowl with no water and no oil and set aside.
Add sugar, water and oil to the bowl with egg yolks, stir well, then add flour and stir into a paste. The egg white is beaten with chopsticks until the fish bubble eye is added half of the sugar, continue to beat until there are no big bubbles, then add the remaining sugar, and finally continue to beat, so that the semi-liquid becomes semi-gelatinous, to the extent that the texture will not disappear, even if the bowl is tilted, it will not flow out of the degree is qualified.
Then add the beaten egg whites to the egg yolk paste twice, stir evenly, apply a layer of oil to the pot, pour the cake batter in, and then tell the jade to steam slowly over high heat.
There was no such thing as an oven in ancient times, so Lin Xia had to settle for the next best thing and switch to steaming. And there is no mold, and it is not easy to form, so it is estimated that you have to go to the blacksmith shop to make one.
It didn't take long for a sweet smell to emerge from the pot, Lin Xia took a deep breath, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face, this familiar taste, isn't it a cake embryo?
After it came out of the pot, the cake embryo only had the shape of a pot, Lin Xia put it directly in the plate, carefully cut it into squares with a knife, and then put those leftovers in another small plate, seeing Cuiyu's eyes shining on the plate, Lin Xia couldn't help laughing.
"I said Jade, your eyes are like a hungry wolf who has been hungry for several days, do you need to be so aggressive, you just take a piece and taste it."
With Lin Xia's consent, Cuiyu hurriedly took a piece with chopsticks and put it in front of her to study it first, looking at the color like the sun in the sky, the edge is slightly dark golden, and the middle is pink and light yellow, no need to smell it, the extremely sweet fragrance seems to surround her body, and the smell is much stronger than the pastries she used to eat.
Cuiyu hurriedly put the cake in her mouth, and her eyes lit up.
The delicate taste spreads between the lips and teeth, and compared to the smell, the sweeter it only feels in the mouth, and people can't help but sandwich another piece.
As soon as she stretched out her chopsticks to grab one more piece, Lin Xia quickly glanced at her, "Don't eat alone, take it to Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu to try it." ”
Cuiyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the plate with the leftover cake and walked out of the house excitedly, "Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, Xiaozhong, Xiaoxin, come and taste the cake made by Mrs. Fu!" ”
In the kitchen, Lin Xia put the cake base in the pot to warm it and began to prepare the cream.
The method of whipping the cream is similar to the method of whipping the egg whites just now, but after the foam, the milk, oil, and sugar should be divided into quarters and added separately, and then the milk, oil and sugar are added after beating the viscous until the cream does not drip and the taste is smooth.
Taking out the cake base, Lin Xia scooped up the cream and smeared it layer by layer on the cake base, carefully smoothed it, and decorated all the fresh cherries, strawberries, and grapes on it, and the cake that took two and a half hours was freshly baked.
Cuiyu was carrying a plate into the kitchen, and saw a white square thing in front of Lin Xia, and when she got closer, it was covered with fruit, and it was beautiful, "Madam, what are you doing?" ”
"It's called fruit cream cake! Go get the ice box, freeze the fruit cream cake, and serve it out after dinner. ”
Cuiyu nodded hurriedly, and carefully took the fruit cream cake and put it into the ice box that Lin Xia ordered to make a few days ago.
This ice box is Lin Xia used a large piece of ice, chiseled out of it, and then put the cold things into it, and then sealed the mouth with a piece of ice, and used saltpeter to produce ice at intervals to maintain the temperature of the ice box.
Thinking of the great use of ice in the ice box, Lin Xia directly put the ice box in the bedroom, and now the bedroom is cold and cold twenty-four hours a day, just like a modern air-conditioned room, and you have to cover the quilt when you sleep at night.
After dinner in the evening, Lin Xia asked someone to bring out a jar of cherry wine, a few plates of homemade pastries, and the most important fruit cream cake on the table, and Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu and the others looked forward to it.
After pouring everyone full of wine, Lin Xia said with a smile: "Ming'er is the sixth day of June, which is my birthday, but my husband and I will go out of the city tomorrow to celebrate for me." I'm going to celebrate my birthday with the big guy tonight. ”
Everyone was surprised, and Aunt Fu frowned and said, "Madam, aren't you going to do a good job?" ”
Now people with a little money and strength will choose to hold a birthday banquet and invite people to be guests, and it will be lively. And Yalin lives under the management of Lei Biao and Lin Xia, and the leisurely Accord, the first-line lead, and the fast food restaurant have met a lot of people in various places, and it stands to reason that it should be a banquet, but they didn't expect Lin Xia to even say a word, they didn't know that Lin Xia was going to celebrate his birthday.
Lin Xia didn't care at all, "Let's talk about it later, not to mention that this birthday is mine, I can live it as I want." Aunt Fu, don't worry about it! ”
Uncle Fu patted Aunt Fu's hand and signaled her not to worry so much, so Aunt Fu didn't say anything.
Lin Xia picked up the wine glass and raised her thin lips, "I once said that as long as you do things seriously and don't have different intentions, my husband and I will naturally compare our hearts with you, treat you as family, and will not treat you badly." Therefore, my birthday wish is that I hope that everyone in Yalinju can be healthy and healthy, not worry about eating and drinking, and follow my husband and me, eating meat and drinking wine. As he spoke, he picked up his glass and drank it down.
Uncle Fu, as the oldest housekeeper, took the lead in standing up, holding a wine glass and said kindly: "We all know how the master and Mrs. treat us, and we have already regarded ourselves as the Lei family. ”
When the words fell, Qian Dong and the others nodded one after another, and they all stood up, took the wine glass and toasted: "Madam, we wish you good health, a harmonious relationship with the master, and an early birth of a noble son." ”
After speaking, everyone drank it all.
After a few glasses of wine and a few chats, the point came.
Lin Xia took a bamboo knife and cut the cake and divided a piece for everyone, but selfishly cut a relatively large piece for Lei Biao.
"It's a fruit cream cake, you all try it, it's different from the cake you had in the afternoon." Lin Xia enthusiastically introduced to everyone.
Everyone picked up the spoon and scooped the cake into their mouths, the cake was sweet and soft, the cream melted when the tongue touched, and the taste of the fruit just neutralized the sweetness of the cream......
Lin Xia also tasted the cake he made by himself, and felt that it was almost the same as the one sold in the cake shop, and he was quite satisfied with it. However, seeing that Lei Biao was not too surprised, Lin Xia was obviously a little disappointed, "Isn't it delicious?" ”
Lei Biao shook his head, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "It's delicious, the little lady is really surprising me all the time." ”
When Lin Xia heard this, his tender face couldn't help but be dyed with a touch of blush, and he bit the spoon shyly.
Cuiyu seized the opportunity and quipped: "Madam, why is your face so red, is it because you have drunk too much cherry wine?" Do you want to go to bed? ”
Lin Xia glanced at Jade fiercely, wanting to fight back, "Cui ......"
"Since Madame has drunk too much, let's rest early, you can do it yourself, remember to clean up these things." After speaking, he directly picked up Lin Xia and walked to the inner courtyard.
Seeing the backs of them leaving, Lei Zhong said strangely: "You said that the relationship between the lord and the lady is so good, why is there no good news for the lady?" ”
Qian Dong glanced at him and said, "The time has not yet come, we don't want the emperor to be in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry." ”
Aunt Fu frowned slightly, although she said so, she was always a little unstable in her heart, wondering if she should ask Lin Xia to go to the medical hall in the city to see her body, and then go to the temple to worship Guanyin.
On the side of the bedroom, Lin Xia didn't expect things to happen too quickly, and when she reacted, the person had already arrived in the bedroom, Lei Biao carefully put her on the bed, Lin Xia was alarmed, "What do you want to do!" ”
"Why does Madame ask me what I want to do every time, you know very well what your husband will do next." Lei Biao pretended to be puzzled and said, the charming smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Aren't you going out of the city tomorrow morning, you, I can't get up tomorrow like you!"
"I'll pick up my wife."
When the words fell, Lei Biao kissed Lin Xia's watery red lips, rolled his long tongue, and tasted the taste of cream and fruit, sweet and silky, which made people can't help but taste it again and again. The big hand came to Lin Xia's waist and tore off the straps of her clothes, and the pink dress opened a gap, as if there was nothing, faintly revealing the skin under the skirt.
With a slight pull, the dress fell to the ground, Lei Biao untied Lin Xia's belly pocket with ease, kissed the two soft balls on Lin Xia's chest along his neck, and his hand probed downward, a lot of water had oozed out, and he kneaded it gently, causing the people under him to tremble.
"Lei Biao, you big villain!" Lin Xia protested against how this person's small movements were getting more and more, and suddenly, the next moment, something was entered under him, and he exclaimed: "Ah......hh
In the bedroom, the white gauze bed tent shook violently with the creaking sound of the bed, and sometimes the woman's intermittent words came from the bed tent.
After a long time, a low roar was heard from the bed tent, and the bed suddenly stopped moving, and the bedroom returned to calm. The taste of the sinister taste.
After the fierce action, Lin Xia lay on the bed and pretended to be dead, Lei Biao covered her with a quilt, and walked to the bath room with the quilt and the person in his arms.
"I don't want to take a mandarin duck bath!" Lin Xia protested quietly. Today, Lei Biao is quite restrained, he only came once, probably because he thought of going out tomorrow, he didn't toss much, but he didn't get into the bath room and he came again!
The corners of Lei Biao's slightly pursed mouth drew a beautiful arc, and he readily agreed: "Okay." ”
When he arrived in the bath room, Lin Xia exclaimed, "Lei Biao! You're lying to me again! Don't!! ”
Woo, the man's words are not credible!
