Gu Xinran became interested. She never thought that there were still dairy cows in this era. Milk could be used in many ways.
However, the Tukhanid Kingdom is an enemy country, and it is not easy to introduce their dairy cows. We can only act according to circumstances and proceed step by step.
I wonder if my all-powerful boyfriend can get one? Despite the border conflict, there are still merchants reselling cattle and sheep from both countries at the border.
Alas, it's too far away. At present, my own cow is the most reliable, so I asked, "Xiaomei, do you know when the calf will be born?"
"Butler Zhao said it would take another two months."
Gu Xinran shook her head with some regret, and at the same time asked everyone to pay attention to whether there were any cows giving birth nearby.
The cake shop business ended here. After lunch, Gu Xinran asked Man Niang to make two more cake bases. After repeated attempts, she added diluted spiritual spring water and the cakes were as successful as before.
Gu Xinran used various fruits to decorate two cake bases into simple smiley face shapes. She put one into the space and gave it to Xiao Mingzhan, and used the other for his birthday that night.
After a sumptuous dinner, it was time for the cake show. Gu Xinran first taught everyone to sing the birthday song. The melody was super simple and everyone could learn it in no time.
Then he told everyone the whole process, saying that he saw it in a travelogue and that this kind of birthday ceremony can bring good luck and help fulfill wishes.
When the candles were lit, the birthday song was sung, wishes were made, and the candles were blown out, Gu Xinran seemed to have returned to the moment before the end of the world and celebrated her birthday with her grandmother, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She wanted to tell her great-grandmother that she was very happy here and had many family members who loved her. She wished that those who loved her and those she loved would be happy and healthy.
Xuanxuan Tingting is the one who likes this new way of celebrating birthdays the most.
No matter how sensible Xuanxuan is, he is just a child under seven years old, and his nature of loving to eat and play is still there.
He ate the delicious and novel cake and said with a look of enjoyment: "Sister, can you prepare a cake for me on my birthday? I also want to celebrate my birthday like this, which is delicious and meaningful."
Little Tingting was unwilling to be left behind, "Sister, sister, I want one too, I want one too. When the time comes, I will make many, many wishes."
After finishing speaking, the little face sank and he sighed like an adult, "Oh, big brother is so pitiful, it's a pity that he can't eat the delicious cake."
Gu Xinran touched her little bun and smiled, "There will be many opportunities in the future. Everyone will have a cake on their birthday. When I get some milk, I'll make you something more beautiful and delicious."
Duan Yunchi finished a piece of cake before speaking, "Ranran, this dessert is absolutely amazing, and the meaning is great too. If it can be promoted, it will surely bring in a lot of money."
Gu Xinran sighed, "If you want to make a delicious and beautiful cake, you need milk. Do you have a way to get some dairy cows? The kind that specialize in producing milk from the Tuhanji Kingdom?"
Duan Yunchi pondered for a long time before saying, "It's possible to get some, but it's difficult to raise. I heard that after the dairy cows from Tuhanji were shipped to our south, their milk production dropped significantly and they became more susceptible to disease."
Oh, it seems she's not the first person who wants to raise dairy cows. She smiled and asked, "Is that fellow who raises cows still raising them? Does he have many? If so, we can spend a lot of money to buy two."
Duan Yunchi saw his cousin's strong interest and couldn't bear to discourage her. "I don't know. This happened a year ago. I'll ask for you."
Grandpa and Grandma Gu also like the taste of cake, especially its melt-in-the-mouth texture. This is very friendly to them, the elderly with bad teeth, and they strongly support their granddaughter opening a cake shop.
Grandma Gu expressed her opinion: "Actually, it's already delicious like this. If you cut it into small, delicate pieces of different shapes and give them nice names, I'm sure many people will like it."
This woke Gu Xinran up from her dream. She only thought about making birthday cakes. Birthdays only come once a year. Even if she could sell them at a high price, the sales volume would definitely not increase.
Selling small cakes is different and may be more profitable. Then you can add various biscuits, bread, toast... and open a unique bakery.
It's a pity that I only know the basics, and I still need to conduct various tests before making the finished product. However, with Man Niang here, and with my own ideas, it shouldn't be difficult.
Gu Xinran hugged her grandmother's arm and praised her, "You are so smart. Even without milk, we can open a pastry shop that mainly sells small cakes. I need to research more new products.
Brother Yunchi, I'm going back to my room to draw the blueprints now. When the time comes, please ask the people who are renovating the winery to help decorate the pastry shop as well."
Gu Xinran left after she finished speaking. Everyone was impressed by her determination to get things done and stared at her back in amazement.
After returning to the room, Gu Xinran slipped into the space and immersed herself in drawing. She drew the cake shop of her imagination, and also drew the pastry making room and oven in the backyard one by one.
Then I picked up my pen and wrote down some simple methods for making biscuits, toast, and bread. These methods are just the most basic, and whether they will work or not still depends on trying and practicing.
I sighed again in my heart, if only I had milk, I could make whipped cream and have more delicious food, such as puffs and Swiss rolls...
An hour later, it was done!
She stood up, stretched, walked out of the yard, and headed towards the hanging flower gate on Xiao Mingzhan's side.
When I saw the handsome guy leaning against the door, I was distracted for a moment.
Xiao Mingzhan is different today. He is wearing a light yellow brocade robe with cloud patterns, a purple gold crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and black shoes on his feet. With his handsome and precious face, he has a calm and elegant demeanor.
It's obvious that he has been well taken care of. I've seen him a few times recently, and he was always in military uniform, either marching or on his way to march.
What a feast for the eyes! Gu Xinran stared at her intently. She thought to herself, if she didn't want anything else, she could live her whole life just for this face.
Xiao Mingzhan also looked at Gu Xinran. She was wearing a goose yellow jacket and skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, which made her fair face look even more delicate, and her double hanging buns adorned with pearl flowers made her look even sweeter and more lovely.
At the age of fourteen, she is getting more and more beautiful, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
Xiao Mingzhan walked over quickly, showing a charming smile, "Ranran, happy birthday! You look so beautiful today. This is for you, I made it myself."
Gu Xinran withdrew her gaze from him and reached out to take the sandalwood box he handed over.
She said playfully, "Thank you, Brother Xiao. You look exceptionally handsome today. I'm completely dazzled. Are you trying to trick me with your beauty? Tell the truth! Also, am I only beautiful today?"
After Gu Xinran finished speaking, she opened the box swiftly, and a white jade plum blossom hairpin appeared before her eyes. The jade was crystal clear, the carving was exquisite, and the plum blossoms looked lifelike.
"Brother Xiao, did you really make this hairpin yourself? Wow, my boyfriend is so amazing! Not only can he bring peace to the world with his pen, but he can also conquer the world with his martial arts. You even took away the job of a master carver."
