It's really easy to convince a veteran foodie to change his mind and back down on something related to eating.

Because, there is nothing that cannot be solved with one meal, and if there is, then another meal!

Qi Lele thought about it and decided to toss the cake out. After all, the cake needs both milk and eggs, what a good excuse to raise livestock, isn't it?

Since they are all planning to raise chickens and cattle, it is not a big deal to raise a few more pigs and sheep by the way, right?

The wishful thinking in his heart crackled, and Qi Lele began to buy the bill for Xie Zi An Liecai early in the morning.

"You don't want to go along?"

Qi Lele shook his head: "No, I still have to do some preparations, in case I mess up, I can try a few more times before it gets dark."

Xie Zi'an smiled: "Then just let Uncle Wang go, I'll accompany you."

"No, you don't!" Qi Lele refused: "Can you obediently go to the room to read, write, and paint?" No matter how bad it is, you can just pound that spiral out! Don't always worry about eating in two bites, and you can't do without it! A gentleman is far away from cooking!"

"Don't worry, our family doesn't pay attention to these rules, you don't have to worry about your father and mother blaming you for leading me astray."

Qi Lele silently raised his head and stared at Xie Zi'an.

"What?"

"Why do you always guess what I'm thinking?"

"Maybe you and I have a soul?"

Qi Lele tilted his head, feeling that he was stupid enough to ask this sentence.

Xie Zi'an smiled, and said, "Madame doesn't know, the gentleman is a distant cook, not a gentleman is a distant cook."

"It is because a gentleman is to a beast, and he cannot bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It's a gentleman who cooks far away."

As he spoke, Xie Zi'an told the story of Mencius's persuasion of King Qi Xuan.

Qi Lele suddenly said, "So that's the case."

Xie Zi'an bowed: "People in the world love to take things out of context, listen to what they want to hear, and think about what they think. Sometimes, even what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears may not be true."

Qi Lele is humbly taught.

"If you have something you don't understand, say it, and always give yourself a chance to know the truth, so that you don't add a thorn to your heart when you are confused."

Qi Lele heard the meaning of Xie Zi'an's words, and replied seriously, "I remember."

In the end, Xie Zi'an got his wish and stayed in the kitchen.

Qi Lele was busy with his work, and glanced at the person beside him, always feeling that he was being tricked again, but she really didn't know the allusion to the gentleman's kitchen before.

In this way, I didn't suffer a loss, right?

Xie Zi'an watched Qi Lele take some ordinary flour, spread it on the steaming drawer, poke around a few times with chopsticks, and planned to steam it in the pot on cold water, and couldn't help asking, "Steamed and eaten like this?"

"It's not." "This is to make cake flour, which makes cake cake softer and sweeter," said Qi Lele.

Xie Zi'an bowed his head and didn't ask any more questions, just cooperated to help her carry the flour, and watched her steam three drawers.

After boiling the water over a high fire, take out some of the firewood, steam it over medium-low heat for half an hour, and then wait until the steamer is not so hot, and then take out the flour inside.

Then put it in a clean cloth bag, roll it out with a rolling pin, and finally go through it with a fine sieve, and what you get is the low-gluten flour that Qi Lele wants.

Pack most of them and set them away, leaving a small portion ready to make a cake.

After finishing these, Wang Yuzhong hadn't returned, Qi Lele washed his hands, went to the silkworm house, carefully looked at the silkworm seeds, and made sure that they were all the same, so he retreated again.

"As far as I know, it takes more than half a month to hatch, usually a month." Xie Zi'an looked at Qi Lele: "Or, does Madame have a method of incubation?"

Qi Lele said: "I know a little, but it will take ten days and a half months to do it, this is not like a seed, and I can't rush it."

"That

Just take your time, the days ahead are long."

Qi Lele's heart warmed inexplicably: "Hmm."

Wang Yuzhong rushed back before noon and came back with a lot of eggs and milk.

Qi Lele rolled up his sleeves and began to get busy.

First, separate the yolk and egg white of the egg, add an appropriate amount of sugar to the egg yolk, and then add the boiled milk and oil. Finally, add the processed flour, stir gently and set aside.

Then it was time for the main event, because there was no whisk, Qi Lele picked a colander instead, and began to stir wildly in the egg whites.

There is no whisk, everything depends on hand speed, and Qi Lele is ready to scrap one hand.

Xie Zi'an looked at it for a while, then reached out to take the colander: "You say, I'll come."

Qi Lele said, "This will be a little troublesome."

"You say yes."

Qi Lele let go of his hand: "This egg white must be hit with dense big bubbles to be considered a preliminary success."

Xie Zi'an bowed his head and began to stir like her.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Lele shouted, "Okay, stop first."

He added some sugar to it and said, "Go on, it's good to make it into a thick bubble this time."

Xie Zi'an bowed his head and continued to stir, and when the bubbles became fine, Qi Lele added white sugar again, and this time without saying it, Xie Zi'an continued to stir again.

Seeing that the original egg white turned milky white and could bring out the lines, Xie Zi'an's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Stop, I'll add some more sugar."

After adding this time, Qi Lele took the colander and continued to stir until he could bring up a short sharp corner, then he stopped, took a chopstick and inserted it inside, and it could stand still.

"That's it!"

Add a portion of the whipped egg whites to the egg yolk paste and stir-fry quickly with a spoon. Add the egg yolk paste to the egg whites and stir-fry again.

Seeing that the final cake batter texture was very delicate, Qi Lele showed a satisfied smile, shook the utensils a few times to exhaust, and then put it in the steaming drawer and began to steam.

"Alright! Wait for more than half an hour, and you'll be ready to eat!"

Xie Zi'an laughed: "Although I haven't tasted it, the taste of this cake must be the same."

Qi Lele blinked triumphantly: "Of course! I just want to use it to make my father and mother feel relieved."
