Chapter 1003 Oven
The next day, when the boy came to pick up strawberries, he indeed brought an oven, ten kilograms of high-quality white flour, and one kilogram of white sugar.
These things are not cheap.
In fact, although white flour and white sugar are expensive, they are not very expensive.
But the oven is different.
The oven is made of iron, and a lot of iron is used.
When the final bill was settled, not only could he not take the money for today's strawberries, but he also had to give some silver to the waiter.
Su Ruanruan secretly went to see Su Cangshan, but found that Su Cangshan looked normal, not heartbroken or unhappy.
Seeing this, Su Ruanruan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After sending the waiter away, Su Qin and Su Li called out to Su Ruanruan, "Ruanbao, how do you make the egg cake you mentioned?"
The method of making egg cake is actually very simple. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then add some white sugar, and use chopsticks to beat in one direction until there are no big bubbles in the bowl.
Then add the flour, add it a little at a time, and continue beating in one direction.
Make sure it becomes a smooth paste.
Pour the beaten paste into the bamboo tube, only halfway up, then sprinkle some sesame seeds on it and put it in the oven.
Su Runrun explained the method in detail and confirmed that Su Qin and Su Li knew how to make it before running to a corner of the yard to check the oven.
The oven is a square iron box, and there is an iron plate that is larger than the iron box.
As the young man just said, we need to first make a simple stove that can allow the iron plate to be placed flat on it without tipping over.
After the iron plate is placed, put the iron box on top.
When needed, put the food to be baked into the iron box and light a fire underneath.
It sounds simple, but the most difficult part is actually making fire.
Once the iron box is closed, you can no longer see what's inside.
If the fire is too big and the temperature in the iron box is too high, the food might get burnt.
But if the fire is too small, the food inside may not be cooked through.
It is very difficult to control the temperature of fire.
The paste hasn't been mixed yet, so Su Cangshan wants to try it first.
Su Ruanruan didn't know how to use the iron box, and couldn't give any advice. She could only squat aside and watch.
Su Cangshan was quite smart. He took a bamboo tube, put water in it, placed it in the iron box, covered it with a lid and started a fire.
When the time is right, use a stick to pry open the lid and look at the bamboo tube inside.
I saw that the surface of the bamboo tube had turned black, and the water inside was bubbling.
Su Cangshan frowned and looked at it for a while, "It seems to be about the same."
Su Ruanruan also took a look, but didn't see anything.
While they were fiddling with the oven, Su Qin and Su Li had already mixed the paste.
Because it was their first time and they used only good materials, Su Qin and Su Li did not make too much. In the end, they all poured it into the bamboo tubes, and only filled six bamboo tubes.
Su Qin said to Su Ruanruan, "This is our first time making this, and we don't know if it will work or taste good, so let's try it first!"
Su Ruanruan was not a person who liked to waste things. She understood Su Qinshi's caution and nodded continuously, "I will listen to grandma."
Su Qin carefully placed all six bamboo tubes into the iron box, and Su Cangshan closed the lid with a stick.
Unlike just now, Su Cangshan's expression was more serious this time when he was making the fire.
