Chapter 428 Mysterious Cousin

"Anyone who owns this bracelet will be very happy."

The darkness gradually dissipated, and Mingzhu could clearly see that the young child was her childhood self. She turned to look at the person opposite her, but found that the person opposite her was completely blurry and could not be seen clearly at all. The

young Mingzhu blurted out in a curious and childish voice: "Then cousin, are you happy? What will you do if you give the bracelet to me?"

"I..."

A slight squeak suddenly came from her ear.

Mingzhu slowly opened her eyes, and the light came into her eyes. The strange picture that looked like a dream or a memory receded from her mind.

Jiang Duo pushed the door open carefully and saw that Mingzhu had opened her eyes and raised her hand to rub her eyebrows.

He frowned: "Did I wake you up?"

Mingzhu pursed her lips: "Honey, I just had a dream. I dreamed of this bracelet."

"Do you remember where you saw it?"

"It should be a picture of me and my cousin when I was little. That cousin gave me the bracelet, but strangely, the bracelet did not accompany me as I grew up, so I don't have a deep impression of it."

Jiang Duo lay on the edge of the bed, intending to accompany her for an hour's lunch break: "What kind of person is your cousin?"

Mingzhu shook her head: "That's why I'm confused. I don't remember such a cousin. Could it be that our two families rarely interacted?"

Jiang Duo pondered for a moment and stroked her wrist: "This bracelet should not be cheap in the future."

Yes, this bracelet should not be cheap. How could someone called a cousin give such a valuable bracelet to me so easily?

How strange.

Moreover, she felt that the cousin in her dream was... very kind, very, very kind. If she liked someone very much, there was no reason for her parents not to interact with her cousin's family.

Seeing that Mingzhu was racking her brains but couldn't figure it out, Jiang Duo rubbed her head: "Don't think about it if you can't figure it out."

Mingzhu gathered her thoughts. Indeed, she was just looking at something familiar, but now because of a dream, she has vaguely found the origin of the bracelet. Maybe the opportunity has not come yet.

Maybe in the future she will slowly remember who this mysterious cousin who can't even see her face is.

She put her head in Jiang Duo's arms: "Don't think about it anymore, go to sleep."

Jiang Duo folded his arms and hugged her.

Mingzhu thought of something and looked up at him again: "Hubby, when you go out, help me move the oven into the kitchen and put it on the table. If I'm free in the afternoon, I want to bake a cake for myself."

Jiang Duo nodded and stroked the back of his head gently: "You are not in better shape now than before, don't tire yourself out."

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect your young wife."

Jiang Duo smiled, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

Mingzhu was exhausted in the morning, so she slept very soundly this time. When she woke up, Jiang Duo was gone.

Mingzhu raised her wrist and saw that it was almost four o'clock.

She stretched her waist and got up and went to the kitchen.

To make chiffon cake, you need low-gluten flour, but it is impossible to buy it here, so she won't be picky and use ordinary flour. As long as it can be made, she doesn't pursue the appearance.

She took the sugar ticket and the empty glass bottle for infusion and strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative on the street, bought a large can of sugar and a bottle of milk.

Recently, Jiang Duo would come to get her a bottle of milk every morning, and then boil it at home for her to drink. In those days, milk was not fake. After boiling, it was full of milk flavor and tasted very good.

When passing by the door of Kang Jing's house, his driver was sitting there on duty with nothing to do. Seeing her, he took the initiative to say hello to her: "Ms. Ming, you went shopping. Is it heavy? Do you need me to send it back for you?"

"It's not heavy." Mingzhu thought about beating the egg whites later, and her eyebrows turned: "Master Li, I really need your help."

Master Li stood up and said enthusiastically: "Ms. Ming, you don't have to be polite. Just tell me what you want?"

"I want to use the newly bought oven to make cakes, but beating eggs requires some strength. It's not convenient for me because I'm pregnant. Can you come and help?" "

Okay, Miss Ming, wait a moment, I'll go back and ask my husband if he has any other instructions this afternoon. If not, I'll come to you immediately."

"Thank you very much."

Mingzhu went home first, put a piece of rag between three chopsticks and tied them into a triangle. A respectful voice came from outside the door: "Miss Ming, can I come in?"

Mingzhu opened the kitchen door and said loudly: "Master Li, please come in."

Master Li came in with a smile. Mingzhu separated the egg whites and yolks of six eggs and handed him the egg whites and chopsticks: "Master Li, keep stirring like this, don't stop. When it becomes a fine foam, tell me and I will add sugar."

"Okay, you watch it."

Master Li came to the kitchen door and kept stirring with his hands.

This is not a hard job, but it really takes a lot of effort.

Mingzhu was in the house and used a beam scale to weigh out the appropriate amount of corn oil, starch, flour and milk.

She poured corn oil and milk into the egg yolks, stirred them evenly, then added flour and starch, stirring in a zigzag pattern.

Master Li's wrist was almost broken from beating with the manual egg beater. Mingzhu added sugar three times and finally beat the egg whites.

She went into the house, stirred the egg whites and yolks evenly, poured them into the mold, and put them in the oven.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Master Li took his leave first. Mingzhu also went back to the bedroom and lay down. When the time was almost up, she got up to turn on the oven.

Wearing thick gloves, she took the cake out and demolded it.

Even though there was no low-gluten flour, it was successful.

Surprise!

I can make it often in the future.

She took the cake to the living room to cool down, but as soon as she came out of the kitchen, she saw Kang Jingzhi come in without knowing when.

Mingzhu was surprised: "When did you come in? Don't you knock on the door when you come to my house now?"

"I just came in, your door was open, why should I knock?"

Mingzhu: ...

When Master Li left, she forgot to ask someone to close the door.

"What are you doing here?"

"Didn't you make cakes? I took you to buy the oven, so of course I have to come and taste your craftsmanship."

Mingzhu was speechless: "You are so shameless to say that. People who don't know would think that you bought the oven for me."

Kang Jingzhi smiled wickedly. She was very good at bargaining for the oven she sold to her. Not only did he not make a penny, but he also lost a lot. It can be regarded as an indirect contribution.

He walked forward while talking, "Master Li is my man. I lent it to you for so long. You wouldn't even exchange it for some cakes..."

Before he could finish the word "willing to", Kang Jingzhi was shocked when he saw the cake in Mingzhu's hand.

No, how can this be a cake? This is clearly... a cake.

He looked at Mingzhu in surprise: "How do you make these foreign things?"
