Chapter 113: The Birthday Begins
Lan Bin casually handed the plate he was holding to Lan Wuhou, and said with a smile: "It will be the queen's birthday in a while, and Xiongying wants to give the queen's birthday gift."
"I suggested that he make a birthday cake for the queen mother!"
"Birthday cake? Is this it?" Lan Ling'er pointed thoughtfully, Lan Wuyi held the plate in one hand and the cake in the other.
Lan Bin glanced at it, shook his head and said, "Of course not, this is just a kind of cake, and the birthday cake hasn't been made yet!"
"Brother, is the birthday cake delicious?" Lan Ling'er is interested, the cakes are so delicious, the birthday cake shouldn't be bad, right?
Lan Bin smiled and said, "Wait for the afternoon, I'll try to make it, you can taste it and you'll know!"
"Brother, when did you learn to make pastries? I remember you never went into the kitchen!" Lan Ling'er nodded again and again, and then said suspiciously.
Lan Wu, who had just eliminated the remaining cakes on the plate, also pricked up his ears, a person who had never been in the kitchen and couldn't even use the stove, actually made delicious and delicious pastries.
He can't afford not to be curious.
"It's talent, you don't understand!"
Of course, Lan Bin would not say that before coming to Lanfu, he cooked every day in order to save money during the business period, and he was no stranger to the kitchen. After a haha, he changed the subject and said, "Okay, Lan Wu, let the kitchen make lunch!" Everyone in the house is still waiting!"
"Yes, yes, make lunch, make lunch!"
It's almost past lunch time at this time, Lan Wuyi listened, and didn't care about curiosity, urging the cook, the cook went into the kitchen, and prepared lunch.
Lan Bin also followed into the kitchen, put the cake and the rest of the cream, milk and other things in place, and after telling the kitchen again, he went out of the kitchen and left with Lan Ling'er. ……
After lunch, Lan Bin went into the kitchen again and began to try to make a birthday cake.
This time, he didn't close the kitchen door, and even took the cook and the cook to try it out. And Lan Wu saw that Lan Bin was resolute, and the cake he made in the morning was really delicious, so he put out his mind to persuade him.
However, he still specially summoned his subordinates to warn him to prevent the matter of Lan Bin's cooking from spreading.
After all, it is not a glorious thing for the son of the Hou Ye to cook, and it is easy to make jokes.
As for the trial production of the birthday cake, because Lan Bin made the cake in the morning, his unfamiliar craftsmanship became proficient, and he was assisted by professionals such as Lanfu chefs and cooks.
The trial production progress is quite ideal, and before dinner, the first one, a relatively simple birthday cream cake, was made.
As soon as the birthday cake came out, its milky aroma, melt-in-your-mouth and other advantages instantly conquered Lan Ling'er, Lan Hu, Lan Yu and others, who had never eaten a birthday cake, attracting praise.
The next day, the main hall was closed, and before Zhu Xiongying came to Lan Mansion, Lan Bin took the kitchen to make a birthday cream cake and an ordinary cake, and waited in the house.
At the end of the morning, Zhu Xiongying came to the Blue Mansion with the eunuchs and guards.
Lan Bin went to the door of the Lan Mansion, took Zhu Xiongying to the main hall, and after a short rest, without waiting for Zhu Xiongying to speak, he took the first step to let his subordinates prepare the prepared birthday cream cake and ordinary cake.
In front of Zhu Xiongying, he pointed to the birthday cream cake and cake, and said with a smile: "Big nephew, this is the birthday cake I told you, how can you taste it!"
"Okay, I'll try it!"
Zhu Xiongying has long been attracted by the cream cake on the tray carried by the next person, a large piece wrapped in white cream, and the current jam is decorated with the words Happy Birthday.
Enthusiastically, under the guidance of his subordinates, he picked up a thin wooden knife on the tray, cut a small piece of cream cake, inserted it with a wooden knife, and fed it to his mouth.
The cream cake melts in your mouth, and the sweet and creamy flavor constantly stimulates the taste buds.
Zhu Xiongying fell instantly, and his eyes lit up: "Cousin, this birthday cake is so delicious!"
"Give your Imperial Grandmother a birthday cake as a gift on your Imperial Grandmother's birthday. What do you think?" Lan Bin said with a smile.
"It's a good gift for a birthday cake!"
Zhu Xiongying hesitated, "It's just, is this birthday cake easy to make? I've never cooked,
As long as she doesn't compare with Mo Xiaoxue, she is really powerful.
She is also the pride of the whole family!
Before the movie started, the classmates sitting by the window had already drawn the curtains.
Mo Xiaoxue, who was also sitting by the window, was no exception, and pulled down the curtain numbly.
In the afternoon of the next day, Mo Xiaoxue, who had classes early in the afternoon and returned to the Candy Science and Technology Park after school early, was to rush to the office.
While running, Mo Xiaoxue thought in her heart, Teacher Wang was absolutely deliberate, a class is only 45 minutes, and I only watched a third of the movie played yesterday, what is the storyline behind it, and what is the ending, which makes people think about it again and again.
Running all the way into the office, Mo Xiaoxue found that only her sister-in-law was alone.
Seeing the candy, Li Xuanyu was stunned for a moment, "It's Friday today?"
"Come, come and eat the grapes, I just washed them, and they are very sweet."
Mo Xiaoxue grabbed a few grapes and stuffed them into her mouth in one go, "Sister-in-law, where is my brother?"
While speaking, Mo Xiaoxue had already put her schoolbag on the back of her brother's boss's chair and hung it up.
"He's having a meeting with a few of your uncles and sisters, and your sister Xiaoxia has also gone."
Hearing this, Mo Xiaoxue nodded, and sat in the boss's chair and opened her brother's computer.
"Want a member?"
Hearing that Candy said that she wanted to be a member, Li Xuanyu leaned over and looked, it turned out that she was talking about a Penguin Video member.
"You open the login and scan the code, I have a member, I'll scan it for you."
"Hehe, thank you, sister-in-law, Mo Mo Da~"
At this time, there is no one, Li Xuan smiled and teased: "No thanks, you will have to pay it back in the future, you have to bring more babies."
"No problem!" Mo Xiaoxue agreed very casually.
Anyway, most of the time is at school, isn't it just Saturday and Sunday with a baby, what a big deal.
I think that back then, my brother could raise her with a handful of and urine while going to school, and help my brother take care of the children in the future, how could I say a "no".
When you can't coax the baby, it's a big deal...... It's a big deal to send the baby to my sister-in-law.
Got her wish and continued the movie that Mr. Wang showed yesterday, and Mo Xiaoxue stared at the screen intently.
Wait, it feels like there's something missing.
Right! Less to eat.
When you watch a movie, you have to watch it while eating.
Glancing back at her sister-in-law who was leaning her head, Mo Xiaoxue smiled, but in the next second, Li Xuanyu silently put the plate in her hand behind her back.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Mo Xiaoxue's mouth twitched, what's going on, how can my sister-in-law learn like her brother, and it's getting harder and harder to fool.
Doesn't it be said on the Internet that pregnant mothers often can't turn their minds? What's going on, how can she feel that her sister-in-law's thinking and reaction ability is faster.
It's counterintuitive, but it's realistic.
Li Xuanyu looked at the candy with resentment in her eyes, and said, "You don't want the baby I gave birth to to be a small eye, right?"
"Ahem, sister-in-law, there's no scientific basis for this. We have to believe in science."
Hearing this, Li Xuanyu pursed his lips, "Your brother, as a Nobel Prize winner and an academician, didn't say that we should believe in science. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Mo Xiaoxue asked subconsciously.
"Because some unscientific things often happen around you, from childhood to adulthood, how good is your own luck, you don't have points in your heart?"
"I also heard from your brother that you once made a wish on an asteroid, and the asteroid exploded. You tell me about science, come on, come on, you and your sister-in-law have a good analysis, why did this asteroid blow up?"
Mo Xiaoxue, who couldn't refute it, smiled awkwardly, "That's just a coincidence, really. I'm just an ordinary person, how can I have that ability."
Obviously, what Mo Xiaoxue said was not convincing at all.
can't explain why she has always been lucky since she was a child.
Other people's good fortune is that one
I'm worried that I won't be able to do it well!"
The moment he saw the birthday cake, he had already decided to use the birthday cake as a gift and give it to Queen Ma at Queen Ma's birthday banquet.
Only let him make his own birthday cake, which made him worried.
Especially since he was a child, he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, his ten fingers don't touch the spring water, and he hasn't even been to the kitchen, how to make a birthday cake?
"Big nephew, don't jump to conclusions about things you haven't done. You won't, I'll teach you!" Lan Bin waved his hand.
Of course, he knew Zhu Xiongying's situation, and he knew that it was very difficult for Zhu Xiongying to learn and make a birthday cake by himself in a short period of time.
But he insisted on doing so.
is not only for Zhu Xiongying's gift to Queen Ma, but also hopes that by making a birthday cake, Zhu Xiongying will learn to do what he does, so that he will not be indistinguishable from grains and his body will not be diligent.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Lan Bin and said solemnly, "Cousin, I will study seriously!"
"Let's eat! I'll teach you how to make a birthday cake!" Lan Bin smiled.
Zhu Xiongying nodded, looked at the birthday cake again, cut off two pieces with a wooden knife and ate them, and then stopped: "Cousin, I've finished eating, you can take me to make a birthday cake now!"
"Why don't you eat two more pieces?" Lan Bin was surprised.
Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "Although the birthday cake is delicious, I want to learn it as soon as possible and make a birthday cake for the imperial grandmother."
Lan Bin looked at Zhu Xiongying and nodded with satisfaction, just now Zhu Xiongying's love for the birthday cake, he saw it in his eyes. And now Zhu Xiongying can restrain his desires.
There is no indulging in the deliciousness of the cake and forgetting the purpose.
Especially Zhu Xiongying is only an eight-year-old child.
In this regard, Zhu Xiongying is better than many adults.
Since ancient times, people who have been able to achieve things have been able to restrain their desires, and no one is an exception.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but say, "Okay, I'll take you to the kitchen!"
When the sound fell, Lan Bin got up and took Zhu Xiongying into the kitchen to learn how to make a birthday cake.
Considering that Zhu Xiongying was young and had never been in the kitchen, Lan Bin did not teach him to make a birthday cake for the first time, but taught him to know various kitchen tools.
Then he taught Zhu Xiongying and noodles and so on.
Not surprisingly, Zhu Xiongying, who is used to fine clothes and fine food, has very poor hands-on ability, makes a lot of jokes, and hurts his hand. But Zhu Xiongying's perseverance is good, and he didn't say anything when he was injured, but humbly asked for advice.
And Lan Bin had expected that when he taught, he was also very patient and unreserved.
Even so, for a day, Zhu Xiongying still didn't learn to make a birthday cake.
And Queen Ma's birthday is approaching, Zhu Xiongying took a long vacation in the main hall, came to the Blue Mansion every morning to learn how to make birthday cakes, and returned to the palace before the palace gate closed in the afternoon.
Hoping. ……
On this day, the Ming Qianqiu Festival, Queen Ma's birthday.
This time, in order to avoid extravagance and waste, Queen Ma did not make a big deal, but only joined Zhu Yuanzhang in the Huagai Hall to accept the worship of the ministers, and after congratulating her birthday, she returned to Kunning Palace to attend the family banquet.
