Chapter 106 Making a Birthday Cake

After molesting Mu Chenghe and leaving, Xue Ning patted his mouth lightly, why is he so bad?It scares people, don't dare to come next time.

She looked at her hands, the fingers were white and tender and slender, Xue Ning realized it later and blushed again.

She hurried to the kitchen to put the packed cold rabbits into a basket, and rode out on her bicycle.

When he arrived in the town, he handed over the cold-eating rabbit in the basket to Heihu, and after receiving 33 yuan, Xue Ning talked about his future plans.

She wanted to sell cakes, but Heihu didn't know what a cake was, Xue Ning said it was a kind of pasta, the fluffy and soft pastry was much tastier than steamed buns.

It is also delicious if there is some cream on it. The cake with cream can be used as a birthday cake, which is a very meaningful pastry.

Hei Hu immediately remembered that there are birthday cakes for sale in big cities now, a cake made of colorful colors, with writing on it and bright red and green flowers, it is very beautiful.

He has only seen it once, and he is not willing to buy it. After all, a 10-inch cake costs 8 yuan, which is a high-end product, and he is reluctant to eat it.

When Heihu heard what Xue Ning said, he immediately became interested and looked forward to the cake she made.

That's how Xue Ning made an agreement with Heihu.

After Heihu left, she wandered around the black market again and bought some flour, eggs and sugar.

These are the most indispensable things for making cakes.

Xue Ning also saw three jars of wild honey on the black market, and bought them all.

When she got home, she didn't immediately start making cakes.

After all, the most essential thing for making cakes is the oven, and cakes cannot be made without an oven.

But in this era, there must be no ovens. Xue Ning still knows this. She has no choice but to make a household version of the oven by herself, which can be made with mud.

I went to the ground and dug half a bucket of mud, moistened it with water, and made it into a sticky mud.

She came out with a clean place under the eaves.

First draw a square with a length of 50 cm and a width of 50 cm on the ground.

Then I started to use mud to build along the drawn length and width, and only built three sides, leaving one side as a door for food.

The total height is about 30 cm, too high and easy to collapse.

In order to be firm, the top is made into an arc shape, so that it is not easy to collapse during the firing process.

When all the mud is piled up, an oven with a square bottom and an arc-shaped top is obtained.

Xue Ning lit the firewood, put it into the oven, filled it with firewood, and let the fire dry the mud to make the oven stronger.

Wait until the firing is complete, and then sweep the ashes inside, so that an oven is ready.

Cakes also need to use molds, which is also very important.

It is quite difficult to buy the right mold in this day and age.

But Xue Ning couldn't be troubled by this.

Xue Ning immediately ran into the room, took out a pen and paper, and drew several cake molds.

There are round chiffon cake models, egg cake models with a rectangle inside, and square models.

After drawing these models, she went to find Mu Chenghe and showed him the drawn things.

"Do you have any extra iron over there? Can you help me make a set of such molds?"

Mu Chenghe glanced at the things drawn on the paper, they were all very simple, he nodded his head, indicating that there was no problem.

The speed of the man's work is also fast, it only took half a day to finish the things and bring them to Xue Ning.

Xue Ning received the freshly baked mold in the evening, and when she saw the mold exactly like the one she drew appeared in front of her, she was so excited that she jumped up and down.

"Mu Chenghe, you are too good! It's all done! Just wait, I'll make you a cake."

Mu Chenghe didn't know what a cake was, so he went with it cheekily, completely forgetting the embarrassing thing the two of them had experienced in the morning.

In the kitchen, Xue Ning took out all the ingredients to be used, and then weighed the ingredients and put them aside for later use.

She is going to make an eight-inch chiffon cake.

Separate the egg whites and yolks of five eggs and store them in oil-free and salt-free containers.

Add corn oil, cornstarch, and pure milk into the egg yolk and stir well, then sift in the flour and stir until smooth and set aside.

Add soft white sugar to the egg whites and beat quickly with chopsticks. The egg whites need to be beaten until they are smooth and creamy.

This process is very torturous. Now there is no automatic egg beater, so it can only be stirred manually by hand.

In order to speed up the passing process, Xue Ning took all the chopsticks in the house, made them into a large handful, and quickly stirred the egg whites.

Her hand was like a spinning top, spinning non-stop, making Mu Chenghe's eyes dazzled.

So he reached out to take the job, "Let me fight!"

Xue Ning happened to have a sore hand, and now someone would do it for her, she wished for it.

Under Xue Ning's guidance, Mu Chenghe whipped the egg whites in less than 15 minutes.

Pour one-third of the beaten egg whites into the prepared batter, stir again, then pour all the stirred things into the beaten egg whites, and stir again until smooth.

Finally, pour all the prepared cake batter into the mold.

Burn the oven with firewood in advance, wait until the temperature inside rises, then sweep away the ashes inside, put the mold filled with cake batter, seal the oven with a slate, and bake for half an hour.

While waiting, Xue Ning began to make cream.

Buttercream is made with whipped cream.

But now she can't buy ready-made whipped cream, so she has to use homemade earthen method to make cream.

Pour the milk into the pot and add lemon juice into it. Now is the season for lemons to ripen. There are some in the village. Xue Ning went to the village to buy the milk. The milk is also squeezed from the cow raised in the village. It’s not for nothing. money.

Keep the temperature in the pot at 60 degrees, stir quickly with a spoon, and stir until the whey separates.

Finally, filter the whey with gauze, pour the rest into a bowl, add sugar, and send it quickly again. This process adds an appropriate amount of sugar three times.

In the process of sending him off, it must be that Mu Chenghe came. Who told him that he is so strong and his arms are so muscular, it would be a waste not to help with the work.

Xue Ning ordered his partner to be free labor without any sense of guilt.

The man is good at work, and the things that were originally difficult to get rid of are like a joke in his hands, and the cream is quickly removed.

The whipped cream is in the shape of a milky white paste, and the upside down does not flow, which means it is well whipped.

Xue Ning dug a little with his fingers and tasted it. Although it was not as good as whipped cream, it was amazing to be able to get such a delicious thing under such a difficult environment.

Xue Ning likes to eat sweets, and he feels good when he eats sweets.

She dug some more into her hand and fed it to Mu Chenghe directly.
