Chapter 109: 109 Make a cake
Xiaolong nodded firmly when he saw it, "Sister, how much does this cost?"
The little girl is kind-hearted, "This one costs five cents more, and if you want this kind of thing, it's three cents." The little girl pointed to the row above and replied to the ordinary ones.
Xiaolong took out five cents from his inner pocket and put it on the counter, "Sister, I want this."
"Then you have to take it."
"Thank you, sister." Xiaolong put away the eraser, turned to Han Wen and said, "Mom, let's go back!"
On the way home, Han Wen asked curiously, "Apart from its weird appearance, this eraser is nothing special! Why do you have to buy this?"
Xiaolong took out the eraser and pointed at Han Wen, "Look! There's a plane on it. My brother likes planes the most."
Han Wen leaned forward and looked at it. It really was a drawing of a plane. Because the color was too light, she couldn't really tell if she didn't look carefully.
"Xiaolong, your eyes are so good?"
Xiaolong raised his head and looked at Han Wen in confusion.
Knowing that he was too young to understand, Han Wen pointed to something in the same place and said, "Look at what it is?"
"Aunt Wang put it on the frame at the door."
Standing at such a long distance, Han Wen could only take a rough look, but couldn't see it clearly.
Hearing Xiaolong's words, Han Wen suddenly became interested, "Xiaolong, hurry up! Let's go home early."
It was only when the two of them were more than fifty meters away from Wang Dani's house that Han Wen could see it clearly and thought to herself, "Oh my God, Xiaolong's eyes are too good!"
Before Han Wen could react in shock, she saw Li Jun standing in front of her house, as if waiting for her.
Han Wen: "Is something wrong!"
Li Jun stared at Han Wen's dress for a moment, and replied dryly, "I have something to do, what are you?"
No wonder Li Jun was curious, who would catch an old hen in this unseasonable age.
"Go to the supply and marketing agency."
Because of the chicken in her hand, Han Wen couldn't take out the key, so she could only squat down and ask Xiaolong to help, "Help Mom get the key out."
When Li Jun saw it, he hurried forward to take the chicken from Han Wen's hand, "I'll take it for you!"
Seeing that Li Jun's hand was already stretched out, Han Wen didn't feel embarrassed, and handed it over naturally, "Thank you."
After that, he took out the key from his bag and opened the door, "Come in and talk!"
Li Jun entered the yard and put the chicken on the ground, and said to Han Wen, "You can go to work tomorrow!"
Han Wen couldn't figure out why Li Jun was so anxious all of a sudden, so she asked, "Okay! What's the matter, is there something in the village?"
"There's a meeting in the city tomorrow, and I need you to come over and hold it."
Han Wen: "Why! It's so urgent."
"It seems to be a publicity meeting."
Han Wen: "I'm a female director, what do I do when I hold a publicity meeting?"
Li Jun: "There is no propaganda in the village. Tomorrow, we captains will not be able to go with the villagers to engage in production. After thinking about it, you can only go."
Han Wen thought about it and felt that she would be fine tomorrow, so she said, "Okay, I will go to the meeting tomorrow."
Li Jun: "I'll leave if I have nothing to do."
Han Wen: "Okay, slow down."
After sending Li Jun away, Han Wen handed the key to Xiaolong, "My dear son, go and open the door."
She carried the hen to the henhouse herself, and she didn't untie the rope on the hen's legs. She sent it to the henhouse simply because she was afraid that it would soil the yard.
After washing her hands, Han Wen went into the house to prepare a cake. She had to hurry up, or she would be exposed when Huzi came back from school.
These days, Han Wen has already prepared all the tools she needs, and she only needs to operate it, because without an oven, Han Wen intends to use a pot to steam a cake.
First, I found a bowl that was much bigger than the bowl, and put four eggs into it, because Han Wen planned to make it bigger because there were many people in the family.
At this time, the weather is cold, and the yolk of the egg is still fixed after being beaten, unlike in summer, the beaten yolk melts.
Han Wen carefully separated the egg yolks, put them in a separate bowl, added milk and a little peanut oil, and used the egg beater Wang Hao made for her to fully mix the egg yolks and milk.
Then they added low-gluten flour bought from the city and starch obtained by Wang Hao to make them into a paste.
Before doing this, Han Wen didn't let Xiaolong sit idle. She processed the egg whites first, added a little white vinegar and a lot of sugar to the egg whites, and then started to beat the egg whites with another mixer made by Wang Hao.
Because there is no electric mixer, it takes a long time to mix by hand. Han Wen stirred it a few times by herself. Seeing that the egg white inside was slightly changed, she handed it over to Xiaolong. While Han Wen was processing the egg yolk, Xiaolong had been helping to stir the egg white. .
"Mom, can you see it?" Xiaolong asked immediately after drying for a long time when the liquid protein turned into a sticky white paste.
Han Wen glanced at it, "Very good."
Knowing that Xiaolong may be tired, he naturally took the basin and stirred the protein solution that was not completely set for a long time until he could stand up his chopsticks.
Then add the egg yolks in batches until you get a really nice yellow batter.
Xiaolong watched Han Wen put the basin into the pot, and asked curiously, "Mom! Isn't this similar to steaming steamed buns? Why is it so troublesome."
Han Wen: "This is much better than steamed buns. How about the chicken cake I made last time, it's even better than that."
Xiaolong's eyes widened when he heard it, and then the two of them moved closer, "Mom, let me see if it's okay."
Han Wen was dumbfounded by Xiaolong's eagerness, and stretched out her hand to pull him away, "I just put it in, not so fast."
"When will it be okay?"
"Wait half an hour. You go out and check the time for mom."
Xiaolong happily replied, "Okay." Then he ran to the living room to check the time.
Although Xiaolong is only five years old now, Han Wen has already started teaching him to read ancient poems on the back of the watch.
Maybe children who don't like to talk are smart, and it won't take long for Xiaolong to tell the time by himself after Han Wen taught him.
"Mom, it's 11 o'clock."
When Han Wen heard this, her thoughts went wrong. This tiger is about to leave school soon, and the meal hasn't come yet.
"Xiaolong, you help my mother to wash the beans." Han Wen took two handfuls of beans from the cabinet and put them in the sink and put them into Xiaolong.
"Okay."
Because there was still a fire in the stove, Han Wen wouldn't dare to let Xiaolong stay by himself if Han Wen wasn't in front of him, even though Xiaolong was already very good at seeing the fire.
Han Wen hurriedly cooked two dishes before Huzi came back, and the cake embryo that had been steaming in the pot was ready.
Han Wen lifted the lid of the pot and patted the fluffy cake embryo, very satisfied.
"Mom, brother is coming back soon, hurry up and hide."
"Oh! Oh! Immediately." Han Wen took two thick cloths and held the basin, so anxious that she didn't know where to hide it.
Xiaolong tugged at Han Wen's sleeve, "Mom, come with me."
