Chapter 186 New Cakes
When passing by the cattle farm, Xu Zhiyi wondered if there was cow's milk or goat's milk?
"Wuyou, stop for a moment"
Xu Zhiyi walked in and looked around before asking, "Grandpa, do you have cow's milk or goat's milk for sale here?"
"I don't have any here. All the animals here are for sale. But there are some on South Street. You can ask around and find out which store it is."
Xu Zhiyi: “Thank you!!”
Then he went to South Street, found the shop, and filled three large bamboo tubes with four pounds of milk.
After returning home, Xu Zhiyi went to the kitchen first to see if her dough had fermented well. In fact, it would be more appropriate to leave it to ferment until the next day, but she couldn't help but want to give it a try.
Shen Changan Shen Wuyou came into the kitchen and saw Xu Zhiyi mixing milk and dough, so he hurried over to grab the job: "Madam, let me do it!"
Xu Zhiyi took some sugar and poured it into the egg whites that had been separated in the bowl, then said, "Take three chopsticks and stir the eggs in this bowl as hard as you can until I say it's okay. If you get tired, you two can take turns."
"good"
"Oh, light up the kiln outside too."
An hour later, Xu Zhiyi finished baking the bread.
Then he looked at the two brothers taking turns beating the cream and signaled them to stop: "That's enough, give it to me."
After wrapping the cream, bring out the bread that is ready to be baked and go to the kiln mouth. First, take out all the charcoal inside. After making sure there is no charcoal on the bricks underneath, carefully put the bread to be baked in. After it is full, quickly seal the kiln mouth.
Su came back from outside with a small basket of vegetables, smiling. Xu Zhiyi looked at the vegetables in the basket and asked curiously, "Mom, who gave you these vegetables?"
"Mu gave it to me. I just passed by her vegetable garden and she was picking vegetables. She insisted on giving me some. She was so enthusiastic that I couldn't refuse her."
"Also, there will be a wedding in the village tomorrow. Every household in the village will invite one person to the banquet, and our family is also invited, so I understand, you can go after you come back from the stall tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi shook her head and said, "I won't go, Mom, you should go!"
Su: "Why not? Mother wanted you to go and have some fun."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at the two brothers sitting under the eaves, then looked at Xu Zhiyi, pulled her and whispered: "Zhiyi, you and Changan Wuyou were brought to our house so hastily, let alone holding a banquet, you didn't even pay homage to the ancestors."
"Although their household registration is under your name, and it is clearly written in the household registration that you are the son-in-law, so the status is real, but you haven't gone through the ceremony of worshipping heaven and earth yet."
Xu Zhiyi: "Mom, so you mean that Chang'an Wuyou and I should also hold a wedding banquet?"
Su nodded: "That's a must. We didn't have the conditions before, but now we have them, so we have to make it up to the two brothers, right?"
"Whether you are a woman or a man, who doesn't want to worship heaven and earth with their wife in front of everyone? Especially for the other party's deceased parents, at least they have to worship formally before the ranking to let them know, right?"
"But if you don't want to make it too troublesome, we can just keep it simple. We can just be family and have the three of you wear wedding clothes and get married."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi pondered for a moment before saying, "Mom, let's wait until we move into our own house before we decide!"
Su: "Then you have to hold it in your own house! There aren't enough rooms here, how can we make a wedding room for you?"
As she said this, she glanced at Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou again. She was really getting more and more satisfied with these two female sons-in-law. They were handsome and obedient. More importantly, they loved their wife very much, and she really couldn't find any fault with them.
"Wuyou, bring the wooden tray over, we can start the kiln!"
Xu Zhiyi removed the seal, and the hot steam continued to come out. He used a spatula to carefully scoop out the baked breads one by one.
The two brothers were very surprised when they saw the bread that Xu Zhiyi scooped out. Was this another unique baked steamed bun made by their wife?
Shen Wuyou: “Madam, is this a steamed bun?”
Shen Changan: “It’s not steamed buns, right?”
Su came out of the kitchen and saw what Xu Zhiyi was doing. She also came over to take a look: "Zhiyi, can you make food like this in this kiln?"
Thirteen loaves of bread and fifteen small puffs. Xu Zhiyi looked at the bread on three large wooden plates and reached out to pinch it. She found it was very soft. After all, the conditions were limited, so she was very surprised that it turned out like this!
Xu Zhiyi: "Come and try this new pastry I just made. If possible, we can add some of it to the food and sell it together with the bowl cake when we set up the stall."
Su picked up a large loaf of bread, which was a little hot, but she endured the heat and broke it in half, handed one half to Xu Zhiyi, then took a bite and started eating.
"Zhiyi, what is this made of? Why is it so soft? It smells so good!"
Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou on the side also got one. They took a few bites and nodded frantically: "It's delicious."
"Mom, try the puff next to you."
When Su took a bite of the puff, the outside was a bit crispy, and she didn't know what was put inside. It melted in her mouth immediately, very delicate, with a milky flavor? Or an eggy flavor?
"Zhiyi, this is amazing. What's the filling inside? How is the outer layer crispy, and the filling inside melts in your mouth? It's very fragrant."
Xu Zhiyi also tried some. Although they were not as good as those in modern bakeries, in this environment, they might be amazing and allow her to make some money.
"Mom, I plan to add this bread and puffs to my stall in the future. Oh, I didn't make cake today, I'll try cake another day, it will definitely be more delicious than these two."
Su: "Bread, puffs, cake? Not only are these pastries delicious, but their names are also so nice!"
Xu Zhiyi: "The name is very appropriate, right? Okay, take these back and let everyone taste them later."
Then he remembered something: "Oh, mother, this bread is big anyway, you can send two to Aunt Mu!"
Su nodded when she heard this: "Mother knows, these are inevitable in social interactions. I'll send it over later."
Xu Zhiyi: "Mom, if our pastry business is good, we can open a pastry shop."
"I don't understand these things either. You can make the decision. I can only support you physically. If you have any work, leave it to me."
"Mom, thank you!!"
Hearing this, Su reached out and touched Xu Zhiyi's head, very gently: "Why thank me? I'm your mother too! Why are you being so polite?"
In her heart, she had long regarded Zhiyi as her own daughter. In her life, she had two daughters, and Daya and Zhiyi were equally important.
