Bai Guoguo put a lot of oil in the square cake mold so that it would be baked a little drier and extend the shelf life by a few days.
In the interval of baking the cake, Bai Guoguo went to the strawberry field and took some effort to dig out more than 20 strawberries.
Add the blueberries and raspberries she picked from the wild, also known as wild raspberries, and you can make a three-color fruit cake.
After 45 minutes, the cake was baked. Bai Guoguo put on gloves and took the round cake out of the oven. The square one was baked for another 20 minutes.
Bai Guoguo was worried that the cake would be burnt, so he turned down the heat a little, leaving only a little charcoal and baking it on low heat.
After baking the cake, it was still early for dinner, so she dug out the canvas and sewed a new packing bag.
This time the seam was bigger than last time, longer and wider, and from a distance it looked like a huge green brick.
This time, I made the packing bags in the space using a sewing machine, which took more than 20 minutes.
After sewing, Bai Guoguo carried the huge bag and rode his bicycle to the pastry factory to buy half a bag of bread and biscuits, spending more than 10 yuan.
After returning home, Bai Guoguo first heated up the oil in a pan and fried the soybeans that he had soaked last night.
It doesn’t take much time to fry the soybeans. They will be done after more than 10 minutes. Then put some pepper powder, chili powder, cardamom powder, star anise powder, some salt and MSG powder in them.
This is the crispy soybean, which is also spicy. It is spicy and fresh and delicious. It is also a good side dish to go with wine.
After frying the soybeans, fry the ginkgo nuts in the oil in the pan until they are crispy.
Cut the pork belly into 2 cm squares and put it into the pan. Fry out 80% of the oil and water, then scoop out the fried diced meat.
Pour out most of the oil, put the diced meat back into the pot, add white vinegar, rice wine, a little sugar, a little salt, stir-fry for a while, then pour in half a bowl of water.
Wait until the water is boiled dry, and then fry the diced meat again until it is 70% to 80% dry and crispy.
At this time, the crispy whistle skin is burnt red and has a crispy and fragrant taste. It is perfect for mixing with rice noodles.
People are short of oil and water these days. After Bai Guoguo scooped out a bowl of crispy noodles, he poured the rest into a glass jar, even pouring all the oil he had just scooped out into it.
The oil in the crispy whistle is a mixture of lard and vegetable oil. It will not solidify and also retains the meaty aroma of lard.
He Gang trained hard, so when he scooped a spoonful of meat and oil during meals, it not only satisfied his craving but also provided him with nutrition.
Of course, Bai Guoguo also knew that He Gang would not eat alone, so she specially prepared some extra.
Every time Bai Guoguo sent him something, it was generous, just so that his comrades could also have a taste.
She admired soldiers the most. When things were delivered to the army, Bai Guoguo would be happy no matter which soldier ate it.
Bai Guoguo also set aside a bowl each of the crispy whistles, crispy soybeans, and crispy peanuts.
The rest were put into glass jars. Each of the four glass jars contained crispy soybeans, crispy peanuts, crispy whistles and oil tea noodles.
I originally planned to put crispy pork belly in one jar, but there are only 6 pieces of crispy pork belly left.
You can also wrap it in oil paper, and an extra can is just right for holding the crispy soybeans.
Bai Guoguo put the can into the luggage bag and placed black bread around the can to prevent collision.
The bottom layer of the jar was also a layer of black bread, the top layer was a layer of biscuits, and a bamboo basket containing cake and pork belly was placed at the very edge.
The cake was cut into pieces and wrapped tightly with wax paper. Two lime desiccant bags were placed next to the cake.
In order to prevent lime from leaking, Bai Guoguo uses a small pocket sewn with 4 layers of cloth to keep the cake box dry. It can also kill some bacteria and extend the shelf life of the cake.
After packing up the things to send to He Gang, Bai Guoguo started making Xiao Huzi's birthday cake, spreading the cream, decorating it with flowers, and adding fruit decorations.
Because there are no cream flowers marked with pigments, it is just a simple cirrus pattern.
However, with the blueberries, raspberries and strawberries neatly arranged on the surface in distinct colors, the whole cake is still very beautiful.
Bai Guoguo also found a small candle and stuck it in the center of the cake.
Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Guoguo put the cake and crispy peanuts and soybean crisps on a large tray.
She put the small clothes made specially for Xiao Huzi into a paper bag and walked towards the He family yard.
When they arrived at the He family's house, the gate was still open, and Bai Guoguo walked straight in with the things in his hands.
"Oh, why are you carrying so many things? Put them here quickly."
When Mrs. Zhang saw Bai Guoguo bringing in a large plate of food, she hurried over to help hold the tray.
The two of them carefully placed the things on the table and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The cake that Bai Guoguo was holding looked very big, and Mrs. Zhang thought it was very heavy.
"Grandma Wen, sister-in-law, where is Xiao Huzi? This is the birthday cake I made specially for him!"
As soon as Bai Guoguo entered the yard, he found that several people were missing, including Aunt Wang, Uncle He and Xiao Huzi.
"Little Tiger went to the outlet store with his grandparents to buy some snacks. He said it was his birthday today and he wanted to buy some candy for his mother!"
Grandma Wen was very happy when she thought about how little Huzi was so filial at such a young age!
