Chapter 211: Colorful Cake

Because of the arrival of Cui'er's eldest brother Ye Qing, the trip to Gushantun was originally planned to be postponed for ten days, and after Ye Qing saw Cui'er's happy life up close, he finally relieved himself slightly and prepared to leave for Huxi.

"Cui'er, are you really not going back with me?" Before Ye Qing got into the carriage, he couldn't help but ask again, but when he looked back and saw the little nephew in Cui'er's arms, he knew that Cui'er's answer was definitely negative.

"The children are still young, and they can't stand the long distance, so when the children are older, I will take them back to see their parents, and then I will have to bother the eldest brother to pick me up!" Cui'er looked at the softness of her big eyes in her arms, shook her head with a smile and said.

Xiaobao and Soft are only two months now, the road to Huxi is far away, the two children really can't stand it, although Cui'er has the heart to see the original owner's father, but after all, the relationship is not deep to that point, so that he can run back regardless of the child's comfort.

"That's fine, when the children are older, my uncle will take them back!" Ye Qing smiled and didn't persuade Cui'er again.

"By the way, my uncle has been staying for so long, and he hasn't given the children a meeting gift, this is a jade plate that I found someone to order, and I give a pair of small bags and soft ones each, as well as big girls and little tigers." Ye Qing reached out and took out four purses from his sleeve, carefully put two of them into the small bag and soft swaddling clothes, and handed the other two to the hands of the big girl and the little tiger.

"I've heard that a few days are the birthday of the big girl, and this is also a birthday gift from my uncle to the big girl in advance!" Ye Qing said to the big girl with a pleasant face, this soft and tender little girl was raised very well by Cui'er, although it was the child of Lian Qingshan's ex-wife. was hurt by Cui'er as her own child.

Ye Qing, who is an elder brother, naturally can't drag his sister back, although he doesn't care about the big girl and Xiaohu in his heart, he doesn't mind giving Cui'er face, treating them as ordinary juniors, and treating them equally on the surface.

"Thank you, uncle!" The big girl thanked her sweetly. I'm very happy about having a birthday gift.

"Cui'er, the eldest brother is going back, wait a few days, Xu is Ye Bi will come over for a walk, and take away the tea by the way. During this time, you can take care of your body at home, and you don't have to worry about anything, just wait. Ye Qing instructed Cui'er carefully, only feeling that she was facing her sister. As if there are endless words, where is there still a little bit of jade-faced Yama in the shopping mall, it is clearly a broken-mouthed mother-in-law.

"Big brother, I know, I'll be fine, Qingshan will take care of me, didn't you still leave Xiangmo and Uncle Zhong behind? You're relieved! Cui'er smiled and comforted the eldest brother, Uncle Zhong is the third housekeeper of the Ye family. Uncle Zhong, the chief housekeeper of the Ye family, is a brother of the same mother, and he is the old man of the Ye family for several lifetimes, and his loyalty and ability are absolutely reassuring.

"Hmm. Take care! Ye Qing saw that the time was really not early, nodded in response, and glanced at Lian Qingshan deeply, seeing that Lian Qingshan nodded to him, and hugged Cui'er's shoulders tightly, Ye Qing turned around and left.

Until Ye Qing's car turned over the mountain road. There was no longer a shadow to be seen, and Cui'er withdrew her gaze. He sighed slowly.

"These days, it's like a dream. I really have relatives......" Cui'er said faintly, and the abruptness in her tone made Lian Qingshan's heart tighten.

"Silly girl, you have me, there are big girls and little tigers, and small bags and squish, even if you don't find your family, there are still us, aren't you? We are all your relatives! Lian Qingshan put his arm around Cui'er's shoulder and said, and then handed the small bag in his hand to Cui'er as if offering a treasure, "Cui'er, look, the small bag is spitting bubbles, he said that Dad is right!" ”

"Ah, it's really spitting bubbles!" Cui'er looked at Xiaobao's pink and tender mouth and spit out a small bubble, and then snapped it off, startling Xiaobao herself, and then continued to spit bubbles and continued to be scared, Cui'er only felt that it was very fun, and she was still a little stunned just now, and she also got better.

"Aoyama, let's go home." Cui'er smiled and looked at the mountains outside the town, only feeling that her heart was clamoring to return to the green mountains and the green countryside.

"Okay, let's go home!" Lian Qingshan smiled and agreed, holding the child in one hand and his wife in the other, and slowly walked towards the house in the town.

"Girl, what do you want to eat for your birthday in two days?" Cui'er smiled and turned her head to ask the girl.

"I don't know, what does my mother think should be done?" The big girl blinked her eyes and said quite slyly, intuitively she should cook a lot of delicious food on her birthday, and if she wanted the same, wouldn't it be too much of a loss!

"You little clever, okay, then the mother will watch and do it herself, but if the girl doesn't like it at that time, the mother won't be able to do it!" Cui'er pretended to be embarrassed and looked at the big girl, and said jokingly.

"It's okay, I like everything my mother does!" The big girl cheered, ran around Cui'er, and then rushed to Cui'er's side and said cutely, making Cui'er laugh happily, and the family was happy.

Xiangmo and Zhongbo walked behind, looking at such a cheerful and cheerful eldest lady, they couldn't help but smile.

After returning to the courtyard of the town, Xiangmo and Zhang's mother helped clean up the things in the house, and Zhongbo helped Lian Qingshan set up the car and pick up the things used outside.

After arriving at the house, the big girl and the little tiger were like ponies off the reins, running excitedly in front of and behind the house, even Qingshan and Cui'er's hearts were relaxed, only to feel that it was pleasing to the eye, and to see which was pleasing to the eye, Cui'er also pulled Xiangmo to the nearby hillside on a whim, and dug a lot of wild vegetables back, to make vegetable dumplings to eat.

In the evening, Cui'er arranged Xiangmo in the West House, and took care of the big girl and Xiaohu at night, while Zhongbo lived in the old courtyard. Cui'er washed and slept early, only to feel that when she got to her own kang, she slept a little sweeter, and she got up a little late the next day, and Cui'er was embarrassed to make a big red face.

In late spring and early summer, because there were Aunt Lu and Sister-in-law Mu at home to help them live, the chickens were fed, the vegetables were planted, and even Aunt Lu took the idea for Cui'er, and caught four little piglets.

Seeing that the girl's birthday is coming, Cui'er has made a summer dress for the girl as a birthday gift, and the collar and cuffs of the clothes are also embroidered with beautiful flowers at the suggestion of Xiang Mo, making this already good-looking dress even more beautiful.

Cui'er was in a good mood to help the big girl make a birthday gift, and she wanted to have a little novelty in the food that day, so she studied it in the kitchen.

Modern birthdays have to eat cakes, ancient birthdays have to eat noodles, Cui'er thought that noodles have no tricks, this cake can be studied carefully. The egg family has it, and Cui'er doesn't worry about the raw materials at all when she makes the cake, but there is no milk in this place, and it is unlikely that there will be cream, so she can't make a cream cake, how can she make this cake more beautiful?

Looking at the blue sky outside, white clouds floated above, and the green leaves swayed gently with the breeze, making Cui'er's whole heart can't help but soften, the color is so beautiful, like a rainbow cake...... Rainbow cake! Cui'er's eyes lit up, and on the girl's birthday, let's make a rainbow cake!

Although there is no cream, no milk, and no artificial colors to color cakes, the wisdom of working people is endless, and Cui'er can find a lot of natural ingredients that can be used to color cakes at home.

Red hawthorn, bright orange carrots, yellow pumpkins, and rich green spinach are all four colors that go together, and the gradient from red to green is just like the feeling of a rainbow.

After Cui'er washed the hawthorn, carrots and pumpkins stored in winter, removed the seeds and crusts, put them in a large pot and steamed them separately, pressed them into a brightly colored puree, and put them directly into the batter when they were ready to be used.

Spinach can't do that, Cui'er cut the spinach into fine pieces, put it in a stone mortar and mash it, and after a while, the thick green spinach juice was poured out.

"Miss, you're too powerful!" Xiangmo stood in the kitchen, stunned and followed Cui'er's instructions to deal with the ingredients, seeing Cui'er's efforts for a while, she made out several brightly colored foods, and suddenly her brain couldn't turn around, only to feel a stream of hot tears welling up.

"Woo woo woo ......" Xiang Mo's heart was sour, her own lady didn't do any housework except for stir-frying tea, why was it only a little more than a year, and she had already done so much in the kitchen, how much suffering she had to suffer!

Xiangmo followed Cui'er while wiping her tears, helping her beat eggs, it is not easy to beat the egg liquid by hand, even if it is half a beating, it will take a long time, fortunately, there is Xiangmo, a ready-made labor force, Cui'er commanded Xiangmo to beat eggs, and she is to combine the colored snack raw materials, sugar and batter together.

After Xiangmo prepared the eggs, Cui'er cut and mixed the cake liquid, put it directly into different small basins according to different colors, put it into a large pot and steamed it, and after a while, she made five pots of fragrant colorful cakes.

The cake was slowly cooled, and Cui'er sliced the cakes of different colors and placed them together, there was no whipping cream that could be used for bonding, Cui'er used flour and granulated sugar to beat a little syrup out, and smeared a thin layer on each piece of cake, and the rainbow cake was sticky!

Looking at the five-layer rainbow cake with a faint aroma, Cui'er's heart is beautiful, and she can make such a beautiful cake under such simple conditions, Cui'er has to praise herself.

Imagining the smile on the beautiful cake when the girl is born tomorrow, Cui'er only feels that the fatigue on her body is gone, replaced by full joy. (To be continued)
