Chapter 323 Butter
Wen Zhenyi went to the ice cellar to look at the prepared butter, took out some of the butter that was not completely frozen, and prepared to make some beautiful cookies.
She mixed the flour and almond meal together and sifted them into a large bowl.
The butter in the ice cellar is not completely frozen, so it is easy to beat with a mixer after adding sugar.
While beating the butter, she also added eggs in batches, and finally added the sifted flour, stirred it evenly, and put it into the prepared mold.
Finally, put it in the ice cellar and refrigerate for a while.
Wen Zhenyi took out some dried osmanthus, roselle and rose flowers and soaked them in water.
She came out and looked at the cake Qin Yue had made, and found that she remembered the steps clearly: "Are you tired?"
Qin Yue smiled and shook her head: "Not tired."
Wen Zhenyi walked over and took a look at the egg liquid she made. He dipped his finger in a little egg liquid and found the taste was just right.
Qin Yue looked at her: "Does it taste right?"
"right."
Qin Yue was even happier. The positive praise gave her great motivation to do things.
Wen Zhenyi felt the outside of the cake mold and found it hadn't cooled down completely yet. He added some more wood to the oven to raise the temperature a little.
When the time for the dough in the ice cellar was almost up, I took it out and cut it into thin slices of uniform size. I put the soaked dried flowers on these slices.
Some are osmanthus, some are roselle, and some are roses.
While Qin Yue was still making the egg liquid, she put the cookies in the oven.
Qin Yue watched her put the cookies into the oven: "Miss, what are you doing?"
"A kind of biscuit, I don't know what it tastes like."
“It will definitely be delicious.”
"You haven't even eaten it, how would you know?"
“Because everything you cook is delicious.”
Wen Zhenyi smiled and helped her pour the egg liquid into the mold. After the cookies were taken out of the oven, they could be put in to bake.
The cookies took less than two cups of tea to bake. When she took the cookies out of the oven, she was very satisfied with the flowers on them.
Qin Yue came over and saw that each square biscuit had a variety of flowers on it. It looked very beautiful. "It's really beautiful."
"Let's let it cool for a while and put the cake in the oven."
Qin Yue nodded.
While they were waiting for the cake, they cleaned up all the tools they had used.
The first cake baked had also cooled down, and Wen Zhenyi taught Qin Yue how to remove it from the mold.
Qin Yue looked at it carefully, and saw a fluffy cake appear on the baking tray.
Wen Zhenyi delivered all the cakes to the braised meat shop next door. She thought there weren't many people waiting, but now it seems she was overthinking it.
Many customers stood up when they saw her and looked at what she was holding: "Miss Wen, is this the cake?"
Wen Zhenyi put the cake on the counter beside him and said, "If you want to buy cake, please line up here."
Many people actually lined up: "Miss Wen, I want one."
Wen Zhenyi brought over a cake and said, "This is a cake I made on the spur of the moment. I didn't prepare anything to put in it. Please be careful when you take it."
"Okay, okay, this looks delicious."
"Miss Wen, I can't finish one. Can I buy half?"
"Okay, I'll cut half for you." Wen Zhenyi said as he picked up a cake and cut half for him.
The first batch of cakes she made were sold out in a short while. Some customers didn't get to buy any and expressed regret: "Miss Wen, are there any more tomorrow?"
"Sorry, no more. I have to go to the county town in the next few days, so I won't be making any for the time being."
"That's a shame."
Wen Zhenyi is planning to leave for the county town in the next two days, and Wen Chengwen and the others will go there on the day before New Year's Eve. They can't let everyone go without buying pork before the New Year.
So the cakes made by Wen Zhenyi were to be delivered to Master Cheng and County Magistrate Lei in the next two days. Today was also a chance for Qin Yue to practice making more cakes, otherwise there would be nothing to sell.
When Wen Zhenyi returned to the shop next door, the cookies had already cooled down. She found some partitioned boxes and put all the cakes in them.
As for the cake, it had to be put on a plate and placed in a food box and sent over.
Wen Zhenyi said something to his family, and then took Axiang and Shen Hanxing to the county town first.
Others will not come until after the New Year, and as for the New Year’s Eve dinner job, she has no plans to take it. She wants to spend the New Year at home today.
The three of them went to the town to give pastries to Biaozi, the owner of the beef stall and others.
When everyone received the pastries, no one felt that the gifts were insignificant. You know, the pastries produced by Wen Zhenyi cannot be bought at a high price.
The three of them did not delay and went all the way to the county town. As for the seafood and game, they told Biaozi and the others and someone would deliver them later.
Mayor Meng and the others were a little disappointed that Wen Zhenyi did not accept the New Year's Eve dinner, but they could understand it. They couldn't ask someone to cook for them on New Year's Eve.
However, it was also a very happy thing for Meng Caidie and the others to receive the snacks made by her personally.
When they arrived at the county town, it was a little later than usual and most of the shops on the streets had already closed.
Wen Zhenyi still planned to deliver the pastries first.
Magistrate Lei saw the three people coming in and asked, "Are you bringing us food?"
Wen Zhen nodded slightly: "I can't make New Year's Eve dinner for you. I can only send you some snacks from my own home, as well as some seafood and game, which will be delivered later."
"This gift is quite rich. What kind of seafood is this, lobster?" County Magistrate Lei became interested. He had only heard of it but had never actually tasted it.
"Yes, after it's delivered, you can ask the cook to ask Chef Zhang from Zuixianju. He knows how to make it."
"Oh, it seems I'm in for a treat this year."
Wen Zhenyi and the others didn't stay long. They left without seeing Lei Yingying and Lei Jiayang.
The two were so angry that they called them heartless.
Wen Zhenyi visited the Song Mansion again.
But in addition to dim sum, we also brought hot pot base.
Mr. Song and Song Yi looked at the merchants who came to their house and said, "You are rare guests."
Wen Zhen placed the snacks he brought on the table: "First, I came here to give you some festival gifts, and second, I want to discuss a business deal with Master Song."
Mr. Song looked at her with a smile: "I have always wanted to discuss business with Miss Wen, but unfortunately Miss Wen never gave us the opportunity."
“What Master Song said is true. I just don’t know what kind of business Master Song wants to do.”
Mr. Song looked at Wen Zhenyi. The ideas that this girl Wen gave to Old Man Cheng all made him a lot of money. Anything in his hands turned into small change.
Now his position as the richest man in the county is somewhat precarious, but he was quite surprised that this girl would come to him to discuss business.
