Chapter 107: The Origin of the Master and Servant

Chiffon cake Peng Song, high moisture content, light taste is not greasy, the taste is moist and tender, elastic, and no soft feeling, you can pour various sauces when eating, in order to cater to the taste of the judges.

To make chiffon cake, the eggs are best placed in the refrigerator, take out the eggs in advance and slow down, separate the egg white from the yolk, add corn starch, baking soda, and salt flour to mix evenly, and sieve for later use.

Because she had long thought about making chiffon cakes, Song Yao had already asked people to prepare cornstarch.

In the second part, add an appropriate amount of white sugar to the egg yolk and whip evenly, then add vegetable oil and milk three to four times, whip until the egg yolk liquid is uniform and thick, and there is no oil-water separation.

At this time, the oven can be preheated, the oven was built only three days ago, in fact, it is a small earthen kiln, and it has not been used after drying, Song Yao needs to experiment and do it several times before she can master the heat, which is why she wants to make cakes now.

Let the girl burn the fire, Song Yao watched while carrying out the next process.

Lemon juice should have been added to the egg white, but Song Yao didn't find a lemon, so she could only use lime instead, use a homemade whisk to make a large bubble in the shape of a fish's eye, then add a little sugar, and add it again for about a minute or two to continue whipping, a total of three times to add sugar.

Until the egg whites are hard foamed, lift the whisk and the top egg whites are set up in a triangular shape without bending. This process is also the most tiring, testing one's patience and perseverance.

Take out about one-third of the egg white and mix it with the egg yolk that was stirred before, cut it with a knife made of bamboo chips without a rubber spatula, then pour the mixed batter into the egg white, quickly cut and mix evenly, immediately pour it into the cake mold, put it in the oven, and bake it for 40 minutes at no less than 180 degrees.

This step is the most difficult for Song Yao, she can only judge the temperature of the fire by feeling, and the time cannot be so bad.

Take it out after baking, immediately upside down, it can be demolded after cooling, you can cut it into pieces and eat it directly, or you can decorate it, modern cake shops like to use chiffon cake as the base, Song Yao does not have so many auxiliary materials, she can only use jam to write calligraphy or draw pictures to make up for this shortcoming.

But this cake, Song Yao doesn't plan to waste so much thought, but needs everyone to taste it and give advice.

Fortunately, the cake was a success, which made Song Yao breathe a sigh of relief, as a reward, a piece of the fire girl was indispensable, let her also try it, and the little girl was happy to forget her humility, and was busy begging Song Yao to call her if she had any fire burning work in the future.

Not to mention the little girl, Song Yao came to Song Yuanbao's room with a food box, the old man and the servant were playing with Song Yuanbao, this set of building blocks is a drawing drawn by Song Yao, made by Song Zhiyuan, the quality can only be regarded as ordinary, but it is better than this era, and it can be regarded as a novelty.

After an investigation in Qinghai, this white-haired man turned out to be the most famous Confucian scholar today - Mr. Rong Chuan, named Zheng Hongxian.

Even the old servants around Mr. Rong Chuan are also famous, and everyone respectfully calls him Uncle De.

It is said that Uncle De is Mr. Rong Chuan's scholar, and Mr. Rong Chuan once intended to let Uncle De gain fame.

But both the master and servant had no intention of their careers, and after signaling Uncle De to get the fame of Xiucai, he gave up his future, even if he was not bound by the deed of sale, he still regarded himself as a servant, and he never left Mr. Rong Chuan for decades.

Mr. Rong Chuan was once in the cabinet, and if it weren't for the fact that he didn't like the battles in the court, it would not be a problem to be the prime minister.

Especially the identity of the former emperor's division, even the current emperor has to respect a little.

What's more, Mr. Rong Chuan's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and there are countless young talents who want to ask him for guidance, and offending Mr. Rong Chuan will definitely have unimaginable consequences.

This is also the reason why Mr. Rong Chuan can spend a lot of money just for food, any calligraphy, painting or codex is enough for him to live freely.

Of course, it is impossible for Mr. Rong Chuan to do these things by himself when he sells calligraphy and paintings, and Uncle De has to consume a little study space every once in a while, wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away?

Don't say that it is Mr. Rong Chuan, it is Uncle De's calligraphy and painting, and a pair is at least a thousand taels.

If he is out of office, he will definitely be reused by the imperial court, and he will also be sought after by the big families.

But he was willing to stay by Mr. Rong Chuan's side to serve, not forgetting Mr. Rong Chuan's kindness, let alone Mr. Rong Chuan's permission to let him be free.

Song Yao was very satisfied with the identity of the old man, it should be said that she was surprised, but Song Yao did not show a different way of treatment, and pretended not to know the identity of the old man, but got along more harmoniously.

"Don't play yet, come and help me taste how this chiffon cake tastes." Song Yao opened the food box, and the fragrance of the cake wafted out, and while bringing out the plate, Song Yao stopped the three masters who were going to grab the cake, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, this is just my experiment, it needs to be improved, and there is no decoration, you just need to tell me how it tastes, and what needs to be improved." ”

"Girl, why is this snack called chiffon cake? The name sounds weird, not good. Uncle De asked, first took a piece for Mr. Rong Chuan, and the second piece wanted to give to Song Yuanbao, and when he saw that he was already eating, he sent it to his mouth.

"Uh......" Song Yao was stunned for a moment, she forgot this, the origin of the name of chiston cake belongs to a foreign country, even if it is the country where she was born, she can't explain the allusion now, so she shrugged her shoulders and said: "It doesn't have any special meaning, but I suddenly thought of this name, and I felt that it was very personal, maybe it could be remembered by more people, so I called it so." ”

Uncle De nodded, and after swallowing a bite of the cake, he saw that his master and Song Yuanbao did not mean to stop talking, so he said: "This snack is different from the past, the entrance is soft and chewy, the taste is fragrant but not greasy, suitable for people of any age, but the sour taste is slightly heavier." ”

"I think it's just right for the sweet and sour, but it's too little, and I haven't eaten enough." After Song Yuanbao finished eating a piece, he wanted to take the second one, but Song Yao stretched out his hand and patted it away, and said pitifully: "Mother, Yuanbao has a great appetite, can I eat another piece?" ”

"My mother said it was an experiment, and I will do it again in a while, so that you can eat it until you have enough." Song Yao said, put away the plate, leaving only one piece to eat by herself, but her eyes fell on Mr. Rong Chuan, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"One piece is too little to taste anything, and the opinions of the two of them are about the same." Mr. Rong Chuan saw that there was nothing to eat, and he flicked his sleeves unhappily.

Zhao Song Yuanbao beckoned: "Boy, let's go build blocks, and the province is looking at it here." Your mother is so bad, don't take so much if you don't give it food, hook out the gluttonous worms and let you wait, it's not right to be so irresponsible, you can't learn from her in the future. ”

"My mother is very good, grandpa can't speak ill of her!" Song Yuanbao pouted dissatisfiedly: "And my mother said that there will be delicious food in a while, what if I am full now and I can't eat it for a while?" ”

Song Yuanbao maintained Song Yuanbao on his mouth, but the small eyes that looked at the food box, and the appearance of constantly licking the corners of his mouth, all made people feel distressed.

In order not to change her mind, Song Yao hurriedly left with the food box, ready to let Red Sleeves and Song Zhiyuan also give some advice, without Qinghai, these two are also full foodies.

As for Uncle Cheng, no matter how satisfied he is, at most he just nods his head and says that it is good, but his share is indispensable, but he can't get a useful answer.
