Chapter 119 Preparing to Make a Cake
"Your mouth is like poison."
Xia Mi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll talk to my aunt about this matter again, and we'll see then."
This matter needs long-term consideration, and you can't just leave like that.
Huo Jingchen nodded and silently calculated his vacation time. The most troublesome pirates had been eliminated, so he could take a leave and go for a trip.
But recently, Lao Jiang has been saying some things that hint at something, intentionally or unintentionally, and his words and deeds all hint at the news of moving.
What else could be the reason for the sudden move? It's nothing more than a promotion.
As for who would take Jiang's place once he left, Huo Jingchen was not too concerned, because he had the most military merits and this question was no doubt to him.
But he can't spread information about something that hasn't been finalized yet.
The reward for the last pirate case has not yet been paid out, and Huo Jingchen estimated that it would take a long time.
"I haven't had much vacation in the past few years. My vacations are all piled up together. If you want to go back, I'll go back with you if you're worried."
By the way, he also wanted to go back and see Sangqi's regretful face.
Huo Jingchen has his own plans.
The meal wasn't even finished yet, and Xia Mi didn't know why Huo Jingchen's attitude suddenly changed so much.
"We'll discuss this when my aunt comes. We can't miss out on work arrangements if we leave so suddenly."
Xia Mi picked up the bowl again and motioned Huo Jingchen to continue eating. -The next day, Xia Mi got up very early. Now she would go to the space sea area to check the fish every morning.
I don’t know if it’s because of the special nature of this space, but Xia Mi squatted by the river and looked at the fish in the river. She always felt that they grew much faster than those in the outside world.
It's only been two months, but the fry already weigh more than a kilogram.
The deep sea area was too dark to see. Xia Mi stood on the island and looked at the bottomless sea that was over a hundred square meters. She was in trouble.
[Host, this system supports detecting sea conditions. You can spend 1 coin to check each time. ]
It’s not expensive at just one dollar.
Xia Mi immediately used one dollar to check the seabed conditions, and a bunch of professional values appeared, including pH value, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity.
A series of numbers appeared in front of her eyes. Xia Mi couldn't understand them, so she could only scroll down. Finally, she saw that the test results were normal.
She only understood the temperature and the test results, but she was relieved to see that they were normal.
Xia Mi stayed in the space for an hour before coming out and returning to reality.
When I opened the door, the yard was filled with sunlight. The light was so dazzling that people subconsciously squint, and the high temperature followed.
Xia Mi looked at the vegetables that were wilting in the sun, pulled out the weeds first, and then watered the vegetables.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon. Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen had just finished their meal. She was busy feeding Black Panther. Jiang Shengmei and Fan Chunhua had already arrived.
"Xiao Mi, Black Panther eats more than humans?"
Looking at the full bowl in the iron basin, Fan Chunhua, as someone who has experienced hardships, felt her heart bleed.
"It was too hot and I didn't have much appetite. I threw the food to it after only a few bites."
The black panther was concentrating on eating, not caring at all that others disliked him for eating too much. When he looked up again, he had finished the food in the bowl and licked his lips with satisfaction.
"Black Panther, you've really come at a good time. A few years ago, people wouldn't have eaten as much as you."
Jiang Shengmei teases Black Panther.
The black panther glanced at the two of them, then calmly found its den, as if it knew it was time to take a nap after eating.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down first. I'll go pack my things."
Although noon is not the hottest, the sun is definitely the brightest, and it is impossible to stay in the yard.
Fortunately, Xia Mi had boiled mung bean soup in advance and put a lot of ice cubes in it to chill it, and put it in a thermos bucket. When she opened it, the ice cubes had not melted yet.
I served a bowl to each of my two sisters-in-law, and prepared to leave the rest for Yaya, my uncle and Lin Qianyue.
Xia Mi brought the mung bean paste to the table, "Sister-in-law, please try it. I made this mung bean paste for lunch today. It's so hot, and drinking this is just the right thing to cool you down."
Fan Chunhua touched it and said, "Wow, why is this bowl so cold, just like a popsicle."
"Really, Xia Mi, how did you do it?" Jiang Shengmei quickly touched it and found that the bowl was indeed cold.
"After cooking, let it cool down and then put it in well water to chill."
Xia Mi was just talking nonsense, but the water in the well was really cold. Fan Chunhua and Jiang Shengmei didn't doubt it much, but just thought that Xia Mi was too delicate in cooking.
After the meal, Xia Mi brought all-purpose flour, eggs, beef, prepared chili powder, white vinegar, and tools to the living room.
She had marinated the beef last night and would just put it in there and roast it later.
Xia Mi was responsible for the cake alone. She first separated the egg whites from the yolks, and then beat the egg whites until they formed a hook when picked up with chopsticks.
Beat the egg yolk, add sugar and flour, and finally pour some white vinegar to remove the fishy smell, and add it to the beaten egg white in three times.
Finally, it was poured into a stainless steel basin. Xia Mi picked up the basin and shook out the bubbles inside.
Because the kiln is so big, it would be a waste to bake only one cake at a time, so Xia Mi plans to make some more fermented rice cakes.
The mold was bought in a mall, but she told others that she bought it in Qingcheng.
Zaozigao is also called old-fashioned egg cake. Add four eggs and sugar and mix them together. Then add oil and mix together. When it is almost done, add flour and stir for the final time. Then pour it into the mold.
"Xia Mi, you prepared so much firewood, how long will it take to burn it?"
Jiang Shengmei looked at the firewood piled nearby and wondered why Xia Mi suddenly became so diligent a few days ago, looking for firewood everywhere.
Xia Mi was also unsure, so she planned to bake it for 40 minutes to see how it went, constantly observing the situation.
"Let's boil it for half an hour first. Sister-in-law, please bring me a bench."
Fan Chunhua and Jiang Shengmei rushed to get it.
Then the three of them sat under the eaves, each holding a palm-leaf fan, their mouths moving and their hands not idle.
The cicadas' chirping made people feel inexplicably irritated, but fortunately Xia Mi had cooked a lot of mung bean porridge, and after drinking a bowl of it, I felt much cooler.
Xia Mi's attention was always on the kiln opposite.
"By the way, Xia Mi, when did you build this pavilion? It looks nice. It's nice to sit and sleep in the cool at night."
The weather was hot, and when Xia Mi was building the kiln, she mentioned to Huo Jingchen that she wanted to build another rack in the yard. It would be a good choice to sit in the yard at night to enjoy the cool air and watch the moon.
The next day, Huo Jingchen, a man of action, brought people to build the pavilion.
But I didn’t dare go to the pavilion in the afternoon because the sun was shining brightly and I would get heatstroke if I sat there. There was no coolness at all.
"I don't dare to sleep anymore. I was scared to death when I encountered that snake last time. It's nice to sit outside at night, enjoy the cool breeze, eat some fruit and watch the moon."
Jiang Shengmei nodded, "Yes, speaking of moon-watching, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon."
"You have a pavilion here, why don't the three of us spend the night together? Xia Mi will go to the venue, I'll go buy food, Chunhua's family will cook, the men will be responsible for washing dishes, and the children will be responsible for decoration. It will be more lively with more people."
Xia Mi calculated that there were nine people in total from the three families. She must invite her aunt's family to the Mid-Autumn Festival. There would be twelve people, which would be too lively.
"I'm fine."
After my aunt and her family came, I didn’t have the chance to make other friends, and Xia Mi also liked the hustle and bustle.
The division of labor is clear, so she doesn't have to run around alone like the host when entertaining guests.
When Fan Chunhua heard this idea, her eyes lit up instantly, "I have no problem with this either, this is a great idea, sister-in-law, you'll find a way."
