Chapter 86 Cake
Duan Lifeng just said that he was upright. Tangning didn't even bother to talk nonsense with him. It is impossible for any military chief to not want such an artifact like the Pluto Warrior.

It took the base team three days to repair and optimize the power resources of the entire city as much as possible without interrupting the work of collecting capital in the state. It also equipped the system with dual backup, which greatly improved the safety. .

The large-scale drying equipment is guaranteed by the power supply at the first time, and the speed of grain storage has also been accelerated.

Tang Ning also noticed that after harvesting the farmland, Zizhou immediately plowed it, and then refilled it with water.

After asking the reason, I realized that it was to turn the rice piles and grains left on the ground into the ground, and put water on them to speed up the decay, so as to avoid attracting the surrounding animals to gather, which would eventually cause disaster.

Tangning also understood the reason why a large number of active chlorophyll factories had been developed in the outskirts of the Shu capital settlement, and it might be because of this.

Duan Lifeng is also a bachelor, and he entertained the working group with delicious food and drinks for three days. Before leaving, he fully fulfilled his promise. In addition to a large amount of rice, flour, and oil, he also dispatched dozens of technical teams and agricultural machinery Vehicles, help the base to open up an agricultural base in the Dahui Bay of the Tuojiang River in the north of the high-tech zone on the opposite bank.

There is a Tiandu Avenue perpendicular to Han'an Avenue, with convenient transportation, and the central location is a large building complex in Datong Times, No. 1 Civilian Hospital.

The hospital can guard the cross passage, which is the forward base of Downing's plan.

The hospital is connected to the industrial area in the south and the agricultural area in the north. The agricultural area and the Tuojiang River and the industrial area are separated from the jungle, which can prevent the destruction of mutant beasts to the greatest extent.

The east-west Han'an Avenue passes through the hospital, the west leads to the jungle, and the east Han'an Avenue connects to the Han'an Bridge. Crossing the bridge is the exhibition base.

Because of the highly automated production mode, the daily management personnel of the advance base of the No.1 Civilian Hospital do not need to set up too much.

The team also brought back a team of military personnel, all of whom were elites from the Third Field Division. Tangning agreed to Duan Lifeng to train the Pluto fighters' control team for him.

The return of the team with a full load also greatly boosted the morale of the settlement. Reinforced concrete can strengthen the walls and provide enough food reserves for 300 people in the base to consume for three years, which made the older generation of researchers like Hai Yun who had experienced the famine laugh.

During this period of time, the Han'an Base and the Third Field Division assisted each other, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a honeymoon.

When Zhang Qiuyi heard that the team had returned, she came to the square downstairs to greet her.

Xia Xiaoyu also rushed over.

Zhang Qiuyi was still wearing a lab coat, with her hands in her outer pockets, as if she was still working just now.

Seeing Tangning and Tang Lujin get out of the car, Zhang Qiuyi couldn't help but smile a little on her usually stern face, "Tangning, Lujin, just received a thank you letter from Commander Zhang, saying that you helped the third field division. Busy, thank you for your hard work this trip.”

Tangning smiled and said, "Xiao Lutou is the one who worked hard, so I will drink tea and chat with Mr. Duan."

Zhang Qiuyi smiled slightly: "If we can get so many materials through chatting, it will be a great contribution."

Tang Ning hurriedly humbled herself, thinking that if you can chat with a smiling face, big beauty, why do you need me?
But I dare not say that: "I brought a lot of supplies this time, and I just informed all the team members to come back, so I have to put them into storage as soon as possible."

"There are also those agricultural vehicles that are donated by Zizhou. We must scan the automatic control number to the vehicle management bureau as soon as possible. In addition, we need to install armor plates and replace transparent aluminum windows."

"There are also agricultural technicians and Weipei soldiers brought over this time, and they need to be identified as friendly forces."

Zhang Qiuyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Seeing that you are in good condition, then go to work quickly, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow morning."

"Wait!" Xia Xiaoyu expressed dissatisfaction: "You came back from a business trip, didn't you bring us a gift?!"

"There are still such rules?" Tangning couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at the convoy on the square, "Aren't these?"

Just when Xia Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, Xiaozhi's voice sounded at the right time: "Dad, Dad, there is a basket of big Zizhou specialty grapes in the trunk."

"Wait a minute..." Tangning turned around and walked towards her car, she quietly asked Xiaozhi, "When did you buy it? Why didn't I know?"

"I bought it online with my dad's ID, and they delivered it directly to the car. Dad Xiaozhi is great, isn't he?"

"You are amazing!"

"But I only bought it for sister Qiuyi, not sister Xiaoyu."

"It's okay, just say I bought it for them together."

When the carriage opened, Tangning was stunned. On the big basket of grapes was a bouquet of roses.

What's the matter now?

After thinking about it, Tangning took out the roses and the big grape, came to the second daughter, and handed the grape to Xia Xiaoyu, "This is yours, Xiaoyu."

He handed the rose to Zhang Qiuyi: "This is for Qiuyi."

"Wow!" Xia Xiaoyu is a person who knows the goods, and took the grapes happily: "This is the most expensive Zicui grape in Zizhou. It is a mutant variety. There are not many trees in total, and it must be tasted within two hours after the tree is planted. Only then can you feel the wonderful flavor.”

Opening the label and looking at the tree-down time, Xia Xiaoyu hurriedly ran into the building: "I'll go wash it up first, Qiuyi and Luzhen, come quickly, it's too late if you don't eat..."

Zhang Qiuyi took the roses. When Tangning came over with the roses and grapes, the eyes that were still a little nervous were now full of smiles, "Thank you Tangning, the flowers are very beautiful."

"You're welcome, I should." Tangning felt a little embarrassed by Xiaozhi's contribution, "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go to work first."

"Well, let's go." Zhang Qiuyi hugged the flowers: "I'm going to work too."

All said so, but no one moved.

Tang Lujin stepped in just in time, and took Zhang Qiuyi's hand, "Go and eat grapes first, and then go to work! I didn't buy them for me when I was in Zizhou. Brother Tangning is so partial!"

"Hey! Who shouted that you must eat mutton skewers in Zizhou, and nothing else? Didn't I take you there?"

The second daughter had already turned around, giggling and ignoring him.

……

……

More than ten years after the post-contemporary era, coffee and cocoa in settlements are extremely expensive things.

In the Datong era, the two plants were introduced to Yunnan Province for a small amount of planting. In the 17th year of Datong, botanists discovered several small saplings that were brought from there by birds and germinated in Sichuan.

Four years later, the two shrubs are growing in size and bearing fruit in a simulated tropical environment below the tower's level, but yields are still scarce and costly.

Gao Ang was so angry that Wang Li, the dean of the Academy of Sciences, would get angry when Tang Ning refused to drink the coffee she made.

On Friday night, Tangning didn't go to the game hall to guide the battle, but was busy making a cake under Xiaozhi's guidance.

For Tangning, to perfectly restore the Andalusian praline cake in today's world is simply a crime against humanity.

The status quo of settlements is not so refined that the flour has to be divided into high gluten and low gluten.

The flour used to make cakes is low-gluten flour among wheat flour.

To quickly obtain low-gluten flour, it is necessary to knead most of the gluten in the flour, then filter the remaining starch, put it into liquid nitrogen for quick freezing, and then blow in cold wind to sublimate the water that has become ice crystals Molecules are blown away, turning into fluffy clumps of flour that are re-crushed.

There is also chocolate, which uses baked cocoa nuts, grinds them into very fine cocoa powder, adds milk and sugar to make chocolate sauce.

Also add some aromatic plants to adjust the flavor.

Then… make candied hazelnuts.

In addition to hazelnuts, there are other dried nuts. Tang Ning did not lack these. The ingredients he carried all the way from Manzhou to Shuzhou, all kinds of edible nuts, used to be an important herb for him to accompany him through the wilderness.

However, it also needs to be processed, soaked, baked, and ground into various degrees of fineness.

Then you can bake cakes and make cream.

"This is too troublesome, Xiaozhi, why do you want me to make this? Isn't twice-cooked pork delicious?"

"Because I want to try to see if I can restore the Andalusian praline cake from Ruyi Bakery in reality."

"It's only now that the food is plentiful, so I let you be presumptuous and let me tell you." Wearing a white apron, Tangning looked at the many failed products that had been scrapped in the bucket on one side: "What about those?"

"Hey the dog." Xiaozhi said concisely: "Tangyuan and hair cake will not be rejected."

"I'll go catch fish next weekend, okay? It's fun, but I can also contribute to the base. I thought of a good hunting method, and I'm sure I'll be able to catch a lot of fish."

"That's also next week's business. If the cake is not well done, it may be next week's business."

"Dad said that the most fearful thing is to give up halfway. Dad, come on!"

"If you weren't so picky, it would have been over long ago!" Tangning complained angrily.

Fortunately, it has entered the final stage. The final process is to spread the chocolate cake on the turntable, squeeze the cocoa butter cream core, smooth it, sprinkle the nut crumbs, squeeze the cream core, and spread the second layer.

After the three layers are finished, the next step is the outer decoration. Wrap the whole cake with another flavor of vanilla cream, use the turntable and scraper to modify it into a short column, and then decorate the cream flower, sprinkle chocolate and nuts .

Tangning finally let out a sigh of relief by decorating with a few canned fruits, "Is it almost done?"

Tang Ning's technique is very precise now, as long as he gets through the preparatory work in the early stage, the post-decoration part is really not difficult for him at all.

"Okay, put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate, and dad can tell me stories after feeding the dog!"

Putting the beautiful cake into the refrigerator, before closing the door, Tangning looked at the beautiful and exquisite products in the refrigerator: "Actually, I'm a little hungry..."

"There's still a lot in the trash can, why don't you eat it first, dad, and then give the glutinous rice balls to them after eating."

Looking for food in the trash can really didn't have any psychological barriers for Tang Ning who had survived from Datong for 20 years.

Picking up the trash can and putting it on the table, after struggling for a while, Tangning closed the trash bag and took it out, "Forget it, just these are not enough for glutinous rice balls to stick between your teeth."
