Chapter 032:Kitchen
Aunt Zhou washed her hands and separated the yolks and egg whites of five eggs. The egg whites were placed in a deep and large copper basin.
Shen Zhiqing added two spoons of sugar into the copper basin and quickly stirred the egg whites with a pair of clean chopsticks until after a cup of tea, his right hand was too tired to move.
"Qing'er, you have only recovered for two days, don't be tired." Cheng Yurong felt distressed and grabbed his arm to massage.
Ruan Ruan watched the whole process from the side, laughing so hard that his whole body shook and he glared at the cradle with his calves.
"Mom, I'm fine." Shen Zhiqing put down his right hand and pretended that there was nothing wrong. He didn't want to be laughed at by his sister.
At this time, Shen Zhiyu walked into the kitchen and took over the task of beating the egg whites.
A quarter of an hour later, the egg whites were finally made successfully, adding sugar twice more along the way.
After Shen Zhiqing mixed an appropriate amount of cake flour and egg yolks together, according to the instructions in the cake album, he put the egg whites into the cake batter in three batches and stirred until no trace of egg white was visible.
Finally, the cake batter was poured into a large, shallow copper basin, and the copper basin was tapped several times until no bubbles in the cake batter were visible.
The whole process took half an hour because I was not skilled, but it was my first time making a cake and the result was still very good.
Shen Zhiyu had been guarding the oven and controlling the heat. At this moment, a lotus leaf chicken that had been put into the oven was ready.
It took exactly two quarters of an hour.
Opening the small wooden door of the oven, he took out the lotus leaf chicken with an iron tong. Because the outside is wrapped in a thin layer of yellow mud, the flavor of the chicken cannot come out.
A boy brought a small hammer and smashed the yellow mud shell of the lotus leaf chicken, revealing the dark yellow lotus leaves.
Suddenly the aroma of chicken and lotus leaves hit your nostrils, making your mouth water.
"Yeah..." Ruan Ruan suddenly smelled the fragrance of chicken and lotus leaves in the air, and he flapped his hands.
[Mom, I want to eat roast chicken, I want to eat it. ]
[Second brother, I want to eat roast chicken. ]
[Third brother, I want to eat lotus leaf chicken, please give me a chicken leg. ]
"..." Shen Zhiqing and others were speechless, pretending not to hear.
How can a baby who is less than two months old eat chicken?
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Ruan Ruan really cried.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu If dad were here, he would definitely give me a big chicken drumstick. ]
Cheng Yurong rolled her eyes and pretended not to hear.
Shen Zhiyu walked into the kitchen with lotus leaf chicken and heard Ruan Ruan crying. "Why are you crying, sister? Honey, don't cry. There is delicious food. Do you want to eat it?"
Ruan Ruan kept crying, but nodded obediently. [Third brother, I want to eat chicken legs, but my mother won't let me eat them. ]
Shen Zhiyu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that his sister was less than two months old and the baby really couldn't eat chicken.
He glanced at his mother and simply shut his mouth. Considering how much his mother loved his sister like her own eyes, she would definitely not let her eat chicken.
He tore off a chicken leg, wrapped it in fresh lotus leaves and handed it to his mother. "Mom, you eat first. You have worked hard to raise us brothers over the years and put a lot of thought into it."
"As long as you are good, mom can do anything." Cheng Yurong did not refuse, took the chicken drumstick and ate it slowly.
"Second brother, you also eat chicken drumsticks, so you need to take good care of it." Shen Zhiyu tore off the second drumstick and handed it to Shen Zhiqing's mouth, fearing that he would refuse.
Even though he had taken the muscle repair solution and had returned to a normal level in the past seven days, his body was still very weak and he needed to take supplements for a long time.
When Ruan Ruan saw that both chicken legs were gone, he was heartbroken and cried even louder.
[If you don't want to eat the chicken legs for me...forget it, just give me the chicken wings...just eat them! ]
[Mom, you're the best. Can you give me some chicken wings? ]
[Second brother, Ruan Ruan wants to eat chicken wings. Ruan Ruan likes you the most. ] [Third brother, you are the best. Ruan Ruan really wants to eat chicken wings. ]
She complained five times+, ten times+, thirty times+...
But no matter how many times, no one paid attention to her.
Shen Zhiqing quickly finished a chicken leg, then took a basin of cake batter outside and put it into the oven.
After Shen Zhiyu finished eating half of the chicken, he quickly went out to add a few pieces of charcoal and stayed to watch the heat.
"Wow wow wow..." Ruan Ruan cried for the duration of the incense stick. No matter how much the wet nurse coaxed her, she couldn't stop.
[You bullied me and made me cry to death... I can't live anymore, dad, brother, they bullied me...]
The two brothers Cheng Yurong and Shen Zhiqing, who overheard their voices, thought that it was quite hard for them to pretend not to hear, but Because my daughter's (sister) cry sounds like a demonic sound, I don't know who is bullying whom.
The wet nurse carried Ruan Ruan outside for a walk, trying to coax her.
I thought to myself that the little lady used to be quiet and well-behaved, why do she keep crying today?
The wet nurse didn't know that her little lady was moaning because she wanted to eat chicken drumsticks.
Seeing Ruan Ruan being carried outside by the nanny, Shen Zhiqing secretly kept a piece of chicken, found a chance to go to the toilet, and turned around to find the nanny.
"Let me hug my sister! Maybe I can calm her down when she loses her temper. You can go and rest for a while."
"Yes, Second Young Master." The wet nurse agreed directly. She knew that every young master in the Shen family had their own personalities and tempers. I can't push it away at all.
Ruan Ruan opened his eyes and peeked at Shen Zhiqing. His open mouth was still shouting, but his voice was three points weaker.
Shen Zhiqing took Ruan Ruan away from the nanny. When the nanny turned around, he immediately took out a pack of oil paper from his arms, took out a small piece of chicken as quickly as possible, and stuffed it into his sister's mouth.
When Ruan Ruan tasted the chicken, she didn't stop crying immediately. Instead, she looked at the nanny's figure and couldn't see it at all, and she stopped crying.
snort! I'm so tired of pretending to cry.
[Second brother, why did you come just now? I'm so exhausted, why am I so tired pretending to cry? This trick doesn't work. ]
Shen Zhiqing:? ? ? What are you tired of? You didn't even shed a single tear, you just howled, your acting skills were really bad.
"Good sister, stop crying. Second brother feels sorry for her. Be good, eat the chicken quickly, lest mother finds out." She cried for a quarter of an hour, and he was indeed distressed.
Ruan Ruan hummed twice, pulled the chicken by his mouth with his little hands, and bit hard with his little mouth.
If she knew that Shen Zhiqing said that his acting skills were bad, wouldn't she be able to take off his Tianling Cap?
After absorbing all the soup from the chicken, he bit into it for another quarter of an hour until the chicken turned into minced meat, and Ruan Ruan swallowed it all.
Seeing that her sister can eat meat so well, Shen Zhiqing is a little worried. I wonder if her stomach can handle it tonight?
What he didn't know was that she had eaten a piece of braised pork at her father's place more than ten days ago.
If he had known, he would not have given her this piece of chicken.
With the precedent set, she will cheat more and more often in the future.
...
When Shen Zhiqing carried Ruan Ruan back to the kitchen, he could already smell the aroma of cake.
"How's the situation?"
"It's almost there. I've been watching the heat, hoping to succeed the first time." Shen Zhiyu frowned. This experiment was successful. When the cake shop officially opens, it will take about two months. .
