Chen Xueniang beat the egg whites here, and Ye Yunshu poured the flour into the egg yolk liquid, poured some oil, and mixed well.

"Auntie, take a break. Ye Yunshu said, put the remaining sugar in the egg white basin, and continued to whip instead of Chen Xueniang.

After beating for more than a quarter of an hour, the egg whites become delicate and have the shape of hooking back when lifted, but the egg whites beaten with chopsticks still can't have a small upright hook like a whisk.

However, everyone was still shocked: "How did the egg white become like this?!"

Ye Yunshu stirred the egg white and egg yolk batter twice, poured the mixed batter into a bowl, sealed the lid, and steamed it in the pot.

Thirty minutes later, the cake was steamed, and in everyone's expectation, Ye Yunshu opened the lid.

Because the egg whites are not enough, the cake is not so fluffy, a little collapsed, the color is pale yellowish-white, and the smell seems to be a little different from what I remember.

Ye Yunshu cut two pieces for everyone to taste.

Chen Xueniang: "The taste is a little weird. ”

Ye Yunzhong's face was disappointed, "I don't like to eat eggs." ”

Chen Yunniang smiled and encouraged, "But the taste is very good, soft and delicate." ”

Ye Yunshu himself also tasted two bites, the taste was indeed unsatisfactory, the fishy smell of eggs and the taste of soybean oil were blended together, how to eat how to feel strange.

"Soybean oil doesn't work. Ye Yunshu, who encountered Waterloo, began to look for problems, "It should be tea oil or ghee." ”

It would be better if there were lemons, go fishy.

Chen Xueniang said with a smile: "Why are all the rare cakes you use?

Ye Yun said humbly: "The book just says that this is the royal tribute." ”

Chen Yunniang said: "Actually, my mother thinks that this taste is still good, and you don't have to use the oil mentioned in the book." ”

Ye Yunshu understood Chen Yunniang's subtext, tea oil and ghee are only available to very wealthy families, and small families like them who have just crossed the threshold of food and clothing should not think about it.

"Alas, why don't you two eat and come back!

Chen Xueniang ran away when she saw that the cake in the hands of the two children was not finished and thrown away, and hurriedly shouted.

Chen Yunniang also said: "It can't be wasted." ”

It's eggs and sugar, even if there are two dollars at home, you can't waste it like this.

Ye Yunshu looked down at the unfinished cake in his hand: I don't want to eat it either, what should I do?

After several struggles, Ye Yunshu still finished the cake in his hand.

Seeing that Ye Yunshu had finished eating, Ye Yunzhong could only hand the cake to his mouth aggrievedly.

"Brother Erlang. Zhou Fangyin's eyes were shining, "If you don't want to eat, I'll help you eat." ”

In fact, he thinks the taste is not bad, sweet, soft, and he loves boiled eggs, so he doesn't feel fishy at all.

When Ye Yunzhong heard this, he immediately stuffed them into Zhou Fangyin's arms one by one, "Here you go." ”

Zhou Fangyin picked it up with a smile and ate it.

"Keep the rest for Daddy. Ye Yunshu really didn't want to eat it.

Chen Yunniang smiled, "I know you don't like to eat, okay, let's go play, let your father taste it later." ”

Ye Yunshu smiled slyly and ran out of the kitchen.

For dinner, Chen Yunniang and Chen Xueniang made a large table of good dishes.

A steamed platter of cured meat, a scrambled egg with leeks, a stewed chicken broth, and a soybean stewed pig's trotters and stir-fried shredded radish.

The dishes on the table were all Ye Yunzhong's favorite food, and the children's eyes were about to fall on the plate.

sighed: "Sister, it would be nice if you had your birthday every day." ”

"Mother, why do I celebrate my birthday because Erlang loves to eat. ”

Chen Yunniang smiled and asked, "Which dish you don't like to eat?"

Ye Yunshu choked, too, she is not a picky eater, and she really loves to eat.

The family sat at a big table, and Chen Xueniang brought longevity noodles up, with eggs, slices of meat, and vegetables in the noodles.

Ye Yunshu remembered last year's birthday, eating a bowl of lard egg lying noodles is a luxury, and although this year is still egg noodles, there are more good dishes on this table, and it is the result of God's reward for hard work.

"Eat it while it's hot. ”

"Hmm!"

After eating a large bowl of noodles, Ye Yunshu said rather melancholy: "My stomach is full." ”

Everyone laughed.

Chen Xueniang said: "What I eat on my birthday is the color of longevity noodles, other dishes, just take a look." ”

"That's not going to work. Ye Yunshu shook his head, "Even if it's a bite of each dish, I have to taste it." ”

Chen Yunniang also smiled, "Okay, okay, just don't eat it." ”

After eating, it was already dark, Ye Yunshu took a stool and sat under the eaves in a daze.

Chen Xueniang was washing dishes, and when she saw Ye Yunshu in a daze from the door of the kitchen, she said, "Yunshu seems to have something on her mind today." ”

Although he kept smiling, there was always a melancholy in his eyebrows.

Chen Yunniang also glanced at it, but she didn't care too much, "Aren't we the same at this age?"

"That's right. Chen Xueniang smiled, "I said that the girl should be thinking about Ming Ting, right?"

Chen Yunniang's hand paused, "Maybe it's true." ”

"Ming Tingke has been gone for more than ten days, this day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, can you rush back?"

Chen Yunniang shook her head, "Who knows." ”

"Nothing will happen, will it?"

"No, it won't. Chen Yunniang said, her brows couldn't help but wrinkle, "This kid is full of thoughts, didn't he also say that a person came from Kuizhou?"

Chen Xueniang nodded, "Eldest sister, I'll go back tomorrow." ”

Chen Xueniang mentioned it twice, but Chen Yunniang was not surprised, "Ming'er, I'll ask your brother-in-law to send you and Xiaoyin back, and by the way, I will bring the New Year's gift to my father and mother." ”

"Don't give too much of the eldest sister's New Year's gift, otherwise it will seem like I'm so stingy. ”

Chen Yunniang smiled, "How much can I have yours? ”

The words are exaggerated, but as far as the New Year's gift is concerned, Chen Xueniang has really prepared a lot this year.

This year is different from previous years, she is Guining's daughter, although she does not live in her parents' house, but after all, she is also causing trouble to the family, and she is not ready to do more, she is uneasy.

Ye Yunshu, who was sitting on the eaves in a daze, felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't know why, although everything went well on today's birthday, he always felt that something was missing in his heart.

She stood up and shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Mother, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Don't go far!" Chen Yunniang walked out of the kitchen, and Ye Yunshu had already arrived at the courtyard gate at this time.

She opened the courtyard door and was stunned.

Xiao Mingting was standing outside the courtyard gate, his whole body was shrouded in the night, his hand was slightly raised, as if he wanted to knock on the door, although his eyebrows and eyes were not distinguished, Ye Yunshu just knew that he must be smiling slightly at the moment.

Xiao Mingting opened his mouth, and the first sentence was to explain: "It rained heavily in Kuizhou, delayed." ”

Ye Yunshu hummed softly, with a choked tone.

Xiao Mingting said: "Fortunately, I caught up." ”

He took a step forward, and Ye Yunshu finally saw his face clearly, and it seemed to be a little thinner, but the smile on his face was much lighter and gentler than before.

"Yun Shu, I'm back, happy birthday. ”
