Cai Xiaolian thought to herself: Gu Nian is an academic genius who can do anything!
After preparing the chili sauce, Gu Nian rested for a while before starting to cook dinner.
I promised to make a cake for Xinxin, and they have a lot of eggs, and I also bought flour when I went shopping before.
Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Add sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until combined. Whisk the egg whites separately until they form white, flocculent strands.
Pour the mixture into the beaten egg yolks, add a pinch of salt, place it in a large bowl, and steam over cold water.
Gu Nian made six large bowls in total, planning to send some to the old house as well.
Gu Xin tended the fire in front of the stove, while Cai Xiaolian washed vegetables, helping Gu Nian.
After the cake was steamed, Gu Xin felt her mouth watering. It smelled so good!
"Xin Xin, come and try it, see if it's good?" Gu Nian picked up a piece with her chopsticks and gave it to Gu Xin.
"Mmm, delicious, sister, so delicious! This is the best I've ever eaten!" Gu Xin nodded vigorously after finishing her meal.
"Let me try it!" Cai Xiaolian also stepped forward and ate a piece.
She didn't find it particularly delicious; it was far inferior to any cake she had ever eaten. However, she knew why: the ingredients were insufficient.
There wasn't even milk.
“That’s great, Niannian. If our chickens keep laying eggs like this, can we go sell cakes?” Cai Xiaolian is a money-making expert.
"Mom, let's forget it. It's too much trouble to whip egg whites. How about we just sell kimchi and pickled chili peppers instead?" Gu Nian was unwilling.
"Sister, I can do it. I'll take care of the egg whites! Let's sell more and make more money to pay off Dad's gambling debts quickly, then no one will bully us anymore!" Gu Xin's big eyes sparkled; she had been thinking about Gu Shouxin's gambling debts all along!
“Xinxin, Dad said he’ll pay off his gambling debts himself. Don’t worry about it. Worrying too much will stunt your growth. How about this, you take the cake to Grandpa and Grandma later and let them eat it. If they say it can be sold, then we’ll make some every day to sell.” Gu Nian looked into those big eyes, not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm.
Sigh, never mind, let's get to business first!
Solve the problem of food and clothing first, then consider other things.
Gu Nian felt a little sad. She missed her days in the laboratory. Unfortunately, even if this era were to develop for another thousand years, it would still not be able to provide her with a laboratory.
"Sister, are you unhappy?" Gu Xin was very sensitive to changes in her family's emotions and immediately noticed that Gu Nian was a little unhappy.
"No, that's not true. My sister is just worried about having to beat egg whites every day, it's so tiring!" Gu Nian said with a smile, coming back to her senses.
"It's okay, sister, I'm strong, I'll do the fighting, you can steam the cake." Gu Nian's bright eyes were especially sincere when she heard this.
"You little brat, you talk like your parents are useless! Why should you do anything? From now on, your job is to eat well, gain weight, and grow taller. Leave everything else to your parents." Cai Xiaolian hugged Gu Xin tenderly. This child is so sensible!
"Alright, Mom, Xinxin, I'll cut this cake into small pieces, and you two can take it to the old house together! Mom, you should also ask Grandpa and Fourth Uncle what they think of this cake, whether it can be sold, and if so, what price per piece would be acceptable to others," Gu Nian said, separating the mother and daughter.
After saying that, she turned the cake out of the bowl, put it on a clean plate, and then cut it into small pieces with a knife.
