90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

 Chapter 120 Making a cake for the boss

 “Sister-in-law…”

 The small voice disappeared around the corner.

Xiao Wei lowered his head blankly, staring blankly at the big hand covering his sausage mouth, feeling both pain and happiness.

 It’s the big brother’s hand!

 Brother caught him... and pulled him back into the corner!

Still motionless, it stopped behind him. The distance was so close and so clear that I couldn’t take my hand away!

This is a closeness that has never been seen since childhood. As expected, the eldest brother still has him in his heart.

  Xiao Wei was feeling happy when four cool and warning words fell on his head: "Don't tell her."

 “Why?” He didn’t understand.

　　A small voice came out with difficulty from the gap between the fingers.

Xiao Cheng let go of his hand, glanced down at the furry little head, and said in an unquestionable tone: "There is no reason."

 When the words fall, people move from darkness to light.

Haunted the corner and returned to the front yard, and soon disappeared from the small and flat sight. As if it was just an illusion, Xiao Wei touched the mouth of the sausage where the pain was clear.

 It’s not an illusion!

 Brother really met him!

  If the eldest brother says he won’t tell his sister-in-law, he won’t tell her!

Bai Lu planned to make a cake for Xiao Cheng on his birthday to thank him for taking care of him during this period.

 With the electric chestnut stir-frying machine, a new market has been opened, and the sales of sugar-fried chestnuts are booming.

 It’s only a little short of the goal of 30,000 yuan.

Xiao Cheng can collect enough money on his birthday. When the time comes, tell him the good news and return the money to him.

She no longer has to stay at his house or borrow things. He must be very satisfied with this birthday gift.

 April 12, after selling sugar-roasted chestnuts and keeping accounts, Bai Lu went to the street to buy milk and low-gluten flour.

 Eggs and fruits are available at home, so there is no need to buy them separately.

There is no cake shop in the town, no one knows what cream is, and you can’t buy it even if you walk around the streets.

 Fortunately, the cakes made by Bai Lu in later generations can be made without cream. The yam is steamed, added with sugar and mashed into yam paste instead of cream. It tastes sweet and healthy.

When Father's Day and Mother's Day came, Bai Lu made the first and second cakes after returning from school. They used mashed yam instead of cream. Both parents liked it very much and ate them all.

 Xiao Cheng likes to drink maltose water, so she will add more sugar mixed with yam paste to make the cake taste sweeter.

 Xiao Cheng will definitely like cakes too.

Today is the weekend, Xiao Wei doesn’t have to go to school, so he came to the kitchen early to help.

 The mouth and eyelids that were stung by bees in the past two days have been swollen by applying cold well water regularly every day.

 The delicate little face has returned to being as handsome as Xiao Cheng, and it is a pleasure to look at.

The logging project in Xiaojiacun has been completed. Xiao Cheng contacted the truck to load the goods to the dock, preparing to leave the province tomorrow.

　　Since I was busy with many things, I probably wouldn’t be back until the afternoon or evening. Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang also went to help.

There were only Bai Lu and Xiao Wei at home. They made a simple lunch, and the whole family was busy in the kitchen making cakes.

  Xiao Wei was assigned the task of helping to clean, peel and cut fresh fruits into small pieces.

There was an enamel basin on the small square table. Bai Lu poured milk into it, added an appropriate amount of cooking oil, stirred thoroughly until emulsified, and then sifted the low-gluten flour and added it.

 Stir until dry powder particles are no longer visible, beat the eggs to separate the egg whites and egg yolks, pour the egg yolks into a bowl and continue mixing.

 Mix well and add a little salt to remove the fishy smell. The mixed egg batter should not be too thick and should be fluid.

 Add the sugar in three additions.

 Add two drops of white vinegar to the egg whites, beat them clockwise with chopsticks until big bubbles form, and add the first sugar. When the meringue is creamy, add sugar for the second time. Beat again until the meringue has obvious lines, add sugar for the third time.

 Bai Lu's hands never stopped for a moment, and kept beating the meringue clockwise, with a fast and unhurried rhythm.

Xiao Wei was dazzled by what he saw. After washing the fruit, peeling and shelling it, and quickly cutting it into small pieces, he went to ask if he could help. He had already seen it for a while.

Bai Lu gave him her seat and encouraged her: "Come on Xiaowei! Mix the meringue successfully. Let's make the cake together. Your brother will be very happy after eating it!"

Xiao Wei wanted to say that my eldest brother doesn’t like sweet things.

After thinking about it, I still didn’t say anything. Anyway, my elder brother would eat whatever Bailu was given to me, even maltose water.

　　I will definitely eat something like a cake that I don’t know what it is, even though Bailu has a lot of sugar in it.

Xiao Wei felt happy when he thought that his eldest brother was about to eat the cake in his belly and that he had done his own part.

 The corners of his mouth could not help but raise.

Bai Lu took advantage of the situation and cheered: "Come on, Xiaowei! You can make sweet and delicious cakes soon!"

"Come on, Xiaowei! If you learn how to beat meringues and bake cakes, you will be able to make cakes for your brother every year, and you won't have to eat the devilish meal made by Luo Shiliu and the others. Your brother will definitely thank you for being such a smart little boy. "

Xiaowei whipped the egg whites faster.

 It doesn’t take long to successfully whip the meringue into the desired effect of white dew, and it won’t flow even if it’s upside down.

 Pour one-third of the meringue into the egg yolk paste, mix evenly, and then pour all of it back into the meringue.

While stirring, he said to the student Xiaowei beside him who was studying hard without blinking: "This egg batter will need to be mixed for a while. I have already put yam in the small pot on the stove. Please help me light the fire. Steaming the yam for later use is also an important step in making cakes.”

 Xiao Wei went to light the fire obediently.

"The pot with water next to it must also be boiled. After the egg paste is mixed, it must be placed on top of the boiling water to steam." Bai Lu added.

 Xiao Wei said hello.

 The two stove holes were ignited with blazing fire at the same time.

Bai Lu Mix the egg batter evenly, pour it into a small iron basin for vegetables, and steam it in boiling water.

 A pot lid with a small ventilation hole.

 After a while, the soft and delicious cake embryo came out of the oven, and Xiao Wei added sugar and pounded the yam into yam paste.

 Put it into the plastic piping bag prepared by Bailu.

Bai Lu cut the cake embryo into three layers, spread yam puree evenly on the first layer, put small pieces of fruit on it, added yam puree, and then stacked the second layer of cake on top...

The courtyard door was pushed open at some point.

The girl's silver bell-like laughter came out of the courtyard from the direction of the kitchen. Xiao Cheng closed the door and walked towards the kitchen.

 Bai Lu's fruit cake has been successfully made and placed on the bottom shelf of the cupboard, hidden away.

 The remaining sweet yam paste was just wiped onto classmate Xiaowei’s face when his eyes were occupied by the big boss who suddenly appeared, and he looked away with a smile on his face.

"you are back!"

"We made something delicious. You will definitely like it after you taste it." Bai Luqiao smiled and made a pass.

Xiao Wei quickly wiped the last bit of yam paste off his face, ate it, and nodded in agreement with Bai Lu's words.

Xiao Cheng walked over, raised his big hand slightly, and lightly touched Bai Lu's face, and a small thing was scraped off by his fingertips.

 It’s yam puree!

Bai Lu didn't have time to get a towel, so she wrapped her hand around Xiao Cheng's fingertips and wiped them clean in circles.

Xiao Cheng's eyes were slightly raised, and his rippling eyes gradually moved from the held fingertips to Bai Lu's face.
