Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Did your father really get bitten by a mosquito on the mouth?"
Su Ningjie nodded: "You go and take a look, Dad doesn't even enjoy his meal anymore."
Xiao Lingyu reached for her shoulder bag and said, "Okay, Mom will go check on him later and apply medicine to him."
"How could Dad be so careless? How swollen is his mouth?"
"You'll know when you go and see."
Su Ningjie pulled Xiao Xier out of the room first.
Xiao Lingyu took out the anti-swelling ointment from the space and squeezed it into a blank porcelain bottle that was to be used to store perfume, then came to the yard.
"Dad, you should have slapped it to death yesterday, but you let it get away."
"..." Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly when he heard this. Would he dare?!
Su Xingyi caught a glimpse of Xiao Lingyu from the corner of his eye, his expression instantly froze, and he said awkwardly, "Dad, be careful next time and don't let the big mosquito sting me again... Come on, open your mouth."
A spoonful of egg custard was fed into Xiao Xier's mouth.
"Is Dad's steamed egg custard delicious?"
"fragrant."
Xiao Lingyu came closer and glanced at the corner of Su Xingyi's lips, his eyelids trembling slightly.
A closer look reveals bite marks of even sizes on the wound, and a high swelling that affects the overall beauty.
She went easy on him last night, yet he was still hurt so badly.
"You... that mosquito sting is pretty serious."
"I... didn't pay attention and let her succeed." Su Xingyi said with a slightly panicked look on his face.
Xiao Lingyu complained in his heart: I let you succeed in stealing the kiss, this is just a small lesson for you.
"Take this and apply it on yourself. Don't let the big mosquitoes sting you next time. Your mouth will rot if you keep getting stung by mosquitoes."
Su Xingyi's heart finally settled down, luckily Xiaoyu didn't notice anything unusual.
He quickly took the ointment and said, "I'll go back to my room and apply it now. I promise I won't be stung by mosquitoes again." After saying this, he hurried back to the east wing.
Xiao Lingyu looked at his fleeing back and twitched the corner of his mouth.
If you dare to kiss her secretly again next time, it won’t be as simple as being bitten.
After dinner.
At the urging of Xiao Xier and Su Ningjie, two foodies, Xiao Lingyu started making egg tarts and birthday cakes.
Low-gluten flour is needed to make soft and crispy egg tarts, while high-gluten flour is needed to make cakes.
In this era, there is only ordinary flour, and she cannot take it out of thin air in front of the children, Xu Mo and others.
Considering the prospect of egg tart birthday cake.
Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to make the two kinds of flour on the spot.
Xiao Lingyu poured half a bag of flour into the oil- and water-free pot, and kept stirring it over a low heat.
Xu Mo and Li Yuanliang looked at each other when they saw this.
Why did the princess dry-fry the flour?
Isn't this a waste of time?
"Xu Mo, stir-fry until the noodles are fragrant, then turn off the heat, serve, and filter them through a sieve."
Xu Mo didn't dare to ask more questions and just did as he was told.
Xiao Lingyu poured the remaining half bag of flour into a clean large basin, added an appropriate amount of egg white according to proportion, and kneaded it thoroughly to make high-gluten flour.
"Mrs. Su, is it time to take the powder out of the pot and filter it out?"
Xiao Lingyu sniffed and was filled with the aroma of flour. The flour in the pot was stir-fried into a very fine and even consistency.
"It's ready to be served. Strain it through a sieve and the low-gluten flour is ready."
Low-gluten flour?
Isn't it still flour?
Xu Mo didn't dare to say or ask, so he could only work silently.
After making the two kinds of flour, Xiao Lingyu first made egg tarts for the children.
"Brother Jie, does the Lu Mansion have milk?"
"Yes... Weiying, quickly go get two large jars of fresh milk."
Wei Ying responded and left, causing a strong draft.
Xiao Lingyu instructed Xu Mo and others to heat the oven with silver charcoal and preheat the oven in advance.
There is no way to control the temperature intuitively, you have to rely on feel.
Xiao Lingyu beat eight eggs into a bowl, added sugar and an appropriate amount of low-gluten flour and stirred thoroughly. After the milk was delivered, he added an appropriate amount of milk and continued stirring until the liquid in the bowl turned milky white and slightly yellowish.
Xiao Lingyu then poured the egg tart liquid into sixteen small ceramic bowls wrapped in oil paper, and then placed them in order on a large iron tray and put them into the oven.
After closing the iron door, add a little silver wire carbon into the stove under the oven to ensure that the oven is hot enough.
After a while, Xiao Lingyu reached his hand close to the oven to feel the temperature. It was a little hot, so the egg tarts were likely to be made successfully.
"Mom, how long will it take before we can eat egg tarts?"
The two little ones gathered around the oven and tried to touch it like Xiao Lingyu did.
"Stop! Stay away from the oven." Xiao Lingyu quickly pulled the two of them apart. "Be careful, you might get burned. This is my first time making egg tarts. If you're lucky, you'll be able to enjoy them in less than 50 minutes."
"You can make fragrant dew, milk tea, ketchup, and salad dressing all in one go. You can also make egg tarts in one go."
Xiao Lingyu laughed dryly, "Don't hold your hopes too high on mother. Egg tarts can easily get burnt."
"Even if it's burnt, we'll eat it too."
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
Twenty minutes later, everyone gathered around, attracted by the sweet smell coming from the oven.
"Xiao Yu, the egg tarts must be done." Feng Jinyu also came to the oven out of curiosity.
Xiao Lingyu nodded slightly, "Okay, now I'll open it and let you guys take a look..."
"Be careful, it's hot!" It was too late.
However, Su Xingyi opened the small iron door so quickly that he didn't even feel the heat.
The rich and sweet smell of the egg tarts, along with the heat wave, hit everyone's face.
Xu Mo saw Su Xingyi pick up the large pliers and quickly snatched them from his hands, "Master Su, let me do it."
Xu Mo used two large tongs to carefully take the tray out of the oven.
The golden egg tarts, steaming hot, appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow, it's golden and looks delicious."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the sixteen egg tarts and found that four of them were burnt.
Just reduce one piece of silver carbon next time.
"It wasn't a success. Four of them were burnt."
Su Xingyi used chopsticks to pick out the burnt parts and said, "Xiao Yu, is this okay to eat?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Yes, you can eat it."
"Dad, feed me, I want to eat."
The egg tarts were still a little hot, so Su Xingyi broke them into two small halves, blew on them, and stuffed them into Xiao Xier and Su Ningjie's mouths respectively.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xiao Lingyu asked hurriedly.
"It's sweet, crispy and soft, very delicious. Can it be eaten with milk tea?" Su Ningjie asked casually.
"Of course, egg tarts will be sold together with milk tea from now on..."
Su Ningjie's eyes sparkled as the milk tea shop had gained new revenue.
Xiao Lingyu selected a brightly colored egg tart and handed it to Feng Jinyu along with the oil paper.
"Jinyu, it's not hot anymore. Try it and see if you like it."
Feng Jinyu took a small bite and tasted it carefully.
At first, his eyes were full of surprise, but in the end he started to praise.
"Xiao Yu, I didn't expect that during your three years of mourning, you not only learned medical skills, but also invented new and unique foods. Your cooking skills are comparable to the chef in my 'mansion'."
