Chapter 40: A Group of Little Guests
The front of this source oven is transparent, so you can see what is baked inside. On the top of the right side is a rotary button to adjust the temperature, in the middle is a rotary button to adjust the time, and on the bottom is a touchscreen button with the names of various recipes, and there are a total of 16 kinds of recipes, including cakes, bread, and biscuits.
It's a hassle-free, just click on the cake button. Don't be afraid to forget the time and temperature, the oven will automatically stop heating after the cake is baked.
Zhang Xiaoxue put the baking tray with the cake liquid into the oven, clicked the button on the cake, haha, the oven started working, and now sit and wait for the cake to bake.
When the cake was ready, Zhang Xiaoxue poured the cake on the baking net and let it cool, the cake was very successful, it did not collapse at all, the color was golden, and the unique fragrance of the cake spread throughout the kitchen.
However, this cake is just a simple cake embryo, and it would be nice if the cream could be touched on the top of this cake, and the cake would be more delicious and beautiful.
Zhang Xiaoxue suddenly remembered that she could make jam, and the strawberry-flavored jam cake was also very good.
I thought of it, and it was very convenient to take out two servings of strawberries from the warehouse with my mind, Zhang Xiaoxue was going to make more, and if I couldn't finish eating, I could keep it for later.
In fact, the strawberries on the farm are very clean, even if they are not washed, but Zhang Xiaoxue has always been used to cleaning things before cooking, so after washing the strawberries, control the moisture and remove the strawberry stems.
Cut the strawberries into small pieces, pour in the honey and stir well, and marinate for about half an hour. In fact, white sugar should still be used here, because there is no white sugar or honey is used instead.
Zhang Xiaoxue lit the bottom of the pot on the fire, and poured the pickled strawberries into the pot after the pot was hot.
Zhang Xiaoxue kept stirring with a spoon at home, stirring and crushing the strawberries at the same time. Strawberries actually have a lot of moisture, and the strawberry jam in the pot is very thin at the beginning, and then the more you boil, the thicker it becomes.
Wait until the jam thickens and scratches it with a spoon to make marks. Zhang Xiaoxue dug into the strawberry jam with a spoon, and saw that it was a little sticky, already hanging on the spoon, and the strawberry jam was ready to come out of the pot.
There were no containers at home, so Zhang Xiaoxue had to find a basin and put the strawberry jam from the pot to the basin, and the strawberry jam would become thicker after it cooled.
When she was busy with these things, she heard several people outside calling Sister Xiaoxue.
When I came to the yard to take a look, it turned out that the boys who were beating sparrows had come back, and a group of boys, holding sparrows in their hands, were excitedly calling Sister Xiaoxue one by one.
"Hey, yes, it seems that you have a good harvest!" Zhang Xiaoxue said to the boys with a smile: "It just so happens that when I was making strawberry jam, there was a lot of hot water in the pot next to me, you can eat sparrows if you want, but the old rule, you have to do it yourself to remove the feathers of sparrows." ”
"Okay", "Yes", the boys agreed to defeather the sparrows themselves.
Now the house is really very lively, so many little boys are chattering together non-stop, Zhang Xiaoxue may have been alone for a long time, and she especially likes such a lively environment.
After the sparrows' feathers were cleaned, Zhang Xiaoxue lived up to expectations and made them a delicious braised sparrow.
There is a lot of oil at home, and Zhang Xiaoxue is willing to put oil, so there is a lot of oil and water in the braised sparrow, and the little ones eat with their mouths full of oil, and they are especially envious in their hearts that Bin'er has a sister who cooks so deliciously.
Since there were more sparrows this time, Zhang Xiaoxue also set aside a small half pot of braised sparrows for the family to eat later at night.
"Sister Xiaoxue, your cooking is so delicious, why don't you come to my house to be my sister?" Bao'er, who was about the same age as Bin'er, begged Zhang Xiaoxue.
"No, she's my sister, and no one can rob her. "This Bao'er's words can make Bin'er anxious.
"When you're done eating, let's go, don't be in my house, I promised to invite you to eat sparrows, and now I've done it." "Bin'er has begun to issue an eviction order.
I wanted to reach out and drag my sister, but I looked at my little hands that were oily, and if I dragged my sister, my sister would definitely not agree.
My sister is wearing new clothes made by my mother today, and I have oil on my hands, if the clothes on my sister's body are dirty, and if they can't be washed, it will be bad, and my sister is just this beautiful dress.
Little Bin'er was entangled in her heart, and couldn't help pouting, not to mention how cute that little appearance was.
"Haha, Bin'er, I'm your sister, our sister and brother are related, so no one can snatch away my sister, what are you worried about?" Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't help but smile and said to Bin'er.
"Your little friends come to the house one after another, then they are our little guests, and you, as the little host, you have to greet them well, but you can't do this kind of behavior to pick up guests. Zhang Xiaoxue said to Bin'er, while looking at Bin'er's expression, seeing the appearance of Bin'er's small mouth just now, she finally resumed her smile.
"After eating, everyone quickly wash their hands, and I have made something good for you to eat. Zhang Xiaoxue told the group of boys another piece of good news.
"Oh, Sister Xiaoxue, you are really good!" Huzi took the lead and began to cheer, although he didn't know what was delicious, but as long as it was made by Sister Xiaoxue, it would definitely be delicious.
Everyone couldn't wait to wash their hands, and then they saw Zhang Xiaoxue cutting the cake, a large piece of golden dim sum, I don't know what it was, it looked soft, and a burst of fragrance came, and the seducer couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Sister Xiaoxue, what are you doing? It's so fragrant!" Tie Zhuo, the oldest among the boys, couldn't help but ask Zhang Xiaoxue.
"Hehe! The name of this snack I made is called cake, it is made of eggs and honey, don't worry, I'll cut it and give it to you. Zhang Xiaoxue cut the cake into small square pieces for easy access, and then gave each of these boys a piece.
Everyone now has a piece of cake in their hands, and some are in a hurry, and they can't wait to bite into it.
Wow, the cake is fragrant, tender and soft in the mouth, so delicious, it is really fragrant, sweet and soft, everyone feels that they have never eaten such a delicious dim sum.
Everyone looked at Bin'er's eyes and couldn't help but be jealous, Bin'er's life is really good, there is a sister who can cook and make snacks like this, so envious!
The little boy who finished eating a piece of cake looked at the rest of the cake with his eyes, and he was not embarrassed to ask for another piece, Zhang Xiaoxue saw it and shared another piece of cake.
I remembered to make strawberry jam, and then taught them to spread strawberry jam on the cake and eat it, so that the cake tasted better.
There were a lot of people on this day, and everyone was noisy and giggling together.
