On the day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the women from the three families gathered together early to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Tiantian said, "How can a birthday be without a cake? I can make this, leave it to me."
There is a small oven in Song Shuxi's yard, which is usually used to grill dried meat for the soldiers. Today is a good opportunity for Tiantian to use her skills.
She first put the egg white and egg yolk into two bowls respectively. Then beat the egg yolks, add milk and butter and mix well.
Then slowly sift in the flour with a sieve and mix well.
Song Shuqian watched for a while and found that the steps were somewhat similar to when she made pastries, both of which involved placing things on a table.
Saren likes cooking very much and has been learning from Tiantian and helping her at the same time.
The next step shocked Song Shuqian a little.
Tiantian stirs the egg whites in a bowl quickly in one direction.
The egg white turned into white and delicate bubbles.
Song Shuqian took a little bit with her hand. It was slippery and didn't taste very good.
Tiantian explained, "It's not ready yet. It will taste really good when it's ready."
As she spoke, she added more sugar and continued stirring. When you think it’s about right, continue adding sugar, three times in total.
The egg white that is beaten at the end can be pulled into a small pointed corner, and there is no sign of collapse.
While Song Shuxi was wondering, Tiantian added the beaten egg whites into the batter with egg yolks in three batches.
Stir well.
Then take the tools and pat and hit until there are no bubbles.
Put it in the heated oven and start burning.
Do you think that's it?
No.
Tiantian washed everything, dried them, and started beating the egg whites.
Saren was so distressed that he had eaten 15 eggs.
Tiantian was still beating the egg whites.
Song Shuqian didn't feel sorry for the eggs, but she felt a little sorry for Tiantian's arm.
"Tiantian, are you anxious? If not, just wait for the men to come back and fight. They are full of energy every day, so let them do this job."
Tiantian slapped her forehead and made a snapping sound. "I am really confused. Yes, let them fight. With such a large grid, they will have to do more work."
Although this cake is difficult to make, it smells really good.
After being roasted, the whole yard is filled with fragrance.
Wei Jianguo and his two companions were walking home together. They could smell a unique aroma from afar. "Whose wife made this delicious food? It smells so good."
Wei Jianguo pointed to his own home and said, "Let's celebrate the children's birthday together."
After bidding farewell to their comrades, the three men voluntarily joined the working team and replaced their wives.
Liu Xinguo started to beat the egg whites. After all, he was a soldier and had a lot of strength. He was like a perpetual motion machine and finished it in 15 minutes.
By this time the cake base had cooled down, and Tiantian took something and threw cream on it.
"This one would look better if it was smoothed out, but I'm not good at it, so let's just make it abstract, whatever shape it is when it falls."
Song Shuxi still has high standards for beauty and cannot accept her perfunctory attitude.
He looked at Tiantian with disdain and took the tools from her hand, "Let me do it. If you have such delicate work in the future, leave it to me. I can do it!"
Song Shuxi originally knew how to make small cakes, the kind found in ancient times.
After taking two bites of this cake made by Tiantian, I know how to improve it to make it more delicious.
She cut the cake and spread hawthorn jam and sea buckthorn jam in the middle, layer by layer with distinct tastes. Then spread cream on the outermost layer and decorate with the pulp from canned yellow peaches and hawthorns.
I also learned how to make chocolate flavor without any instruction. Chop two chocolate bars into small pieces and sprinkle on top.
It looked pretty good after it was finished.
Received praise from the original author of Tiantian’s cake.
When the meal was ready, all the children stared at the cake. It was a new food they had never seen before.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with stewed chicken with mushrooms and vermicelli, blood sausage stewed with sauerkraut, lamb with cumin, fried tofu with green onions, cold-mixed sand onions, shrimp and zucchini dumplings, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that had been stewed since yesterday.
For this meal, Song Shuxi and the other two were busy for three whole days, starting with preparing the ingredients.
This blood sausage was exchanged by Saren from someone at her mother's house. It is stuffed very well.
In the military district, Wei Jianguo and his colleagues were not allowed to drink alcohol due to concerns about missions, and had to drink tea instead.
Song Shuxi took out the fruit wine she had brewed herself, and together with Aunt Fu, the four women each had a glass.
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the four little ones’ happy birthday. It was their first birthday.
Put the cake in the middle and An An Le Le went to get the camera.
"Mom, let me take pictures for you all."
"Okay. Take one and give it to Dad. Let him help with the timing. We'll take a photo of everyone together."
The four little kids didn’t know what the adults were doing, but they thought it was so lively with so many people together.
They had limited food to eat, so they were fed by the adults and placed in a fenced area to play with the dogs.
An An couldn't stop laughing. It was obvious that the adults wanted to have a party themselves, but they used the name of a few children to hold it.
As a result, the real birthday boys and girls were ignored.
Song Shuqian saw what the child was thinking at a glance, and served him a bowl of soup unhappily, "Stop thinking and eat first.
This soup is your aunt Tiantian’s specialty, it’s really delicious.
An An, you will be 7 years old soon. Mom thinks you can learn to cook.
How about starting with this soup? "
An An…it’s over, his mother is becoming unreliable again.
"Mom, I want to start by cooking porridge and rice."

"No problem, I'll take my brother with me."
Wei Jianguo watched his wife fool the silly boy, and the silly boy happily said thank you.
The traps his wife dug are really everywhere.
He reached out and scooped a bowl of soup. "Wife, you have some too. I can make this too, I'll make it for you next time."
Saren looked at Song Shuxi and then at Tiantian, feeling inexplicably envious. Who doesn't want to be taken care of by her husband?
But people are different, and Captain Yang is not someone who knows how to take care of others. After I figured it out, I still feel envious, but it's just envy, not jealousy.
After dinner, several adults gathered together and placed the prepared food in a big circle, and let the four children choose for themselves.
There are four treasures of the study made of scraps of cloth, a big unity placed directly on it, Song Shuqian's seal, books, abacus, toys, small tanks, small airplanes and bridge models provided by An An Le Le, guns, small animals and bows and arrows...
They put everything they could think of on it, even the cooking spoons.
An An said, "Yang Yang, look around and see what you like and bring it to your brother."
Lele was not far behind, "Sister, come on, look at that little mirror and the beautiful skirt."
Sihu and Jirigala also joined in, calling on their younger brothers to quickly get the things.
Yueyue ignored her brother's chattering and hugged her father.
"Yueyue, you need to find Daddy. First check if there is anything you want to take, and then come find Daddy, okay?"
With her father's encouragement, Yueyue chose the gun.
Song Shuqian was unwilling to give up and tried to persuade him, "Yueyue, look at that harmonica, it can produce music, it sounds very nice. And that paintbrush, mommy will teach you how to paint, okay?"
Yueyue simply ignored her old mother and went to get the plane.
Song Shuqian's heart finally died down. Her sweet and soft daughter would become a girl with hard muscles in the future.
"Yangyang, what about you? What do you want to choose?"
Yangyang looked at his mother and his brother. He had just eaten and was sleepy, so he fell asleep on the spot.
Song Shuqian stared at Wei Jianguo and said, "You take care of it."
Wei Jianguo picked up Yangyang and discussed with him to choose things first and then go to bed.
As if to please his mother, Yangyang chose unity.
Tiantian's kids were unwilling, but they also wanted to unite, so the two children started fighting over it.
In the end, it was snatched away by little Gerile from Sarin's family.
Tiantian's baby was unwilling and cried at the top of his voice. Seeing that no one was bothering him, Yangyang fell asleep.
A ceremony of grabbing the first month of the lunar calendar ended in chaos.
