It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 26 Su Wan's Birthday (October Eighteenth Lunar Calendar)
Su Rui thought that Xiaowu Su Wan's birthday would be in a few days, and was a little worried about what to give her?Thinking of the cream cakes that can be seen everywhere in modern times, Su Rui's eyes lit up.

"I can't make cream, but I can make egg cake!"

But we need to get rid of the oven first, how to solve it?
Su Ruiji, a blogger in a certain music that Su Ruiji likes very much, made an old-fashioned bread kiln, which can be used simply as an oven.

When you have an idea, act immediately. It will be your birthday in a few days. If it doesn't work, you can try it a few more times.

Su Rui found Su Changle and told him the shape and function of the bread kiln.

After all, Su Changle had built a stove by himself, so he probably understood what it was after hearing it, so he found a few stove-builders in the village, dug some soil in the back mountain, and bought some soil embryos from other people's houses. .

Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang.It’s not for nothing, the ancients never deceived me...

Su Rui just talked about it, and they immediately understood how to cover it, and even modified it, which is said to make the temperature inside more even.

In the afternoon, Su Changle and the others lit a fire in the bread kiln, smoked it and looked for any smoke leaks outside...

Because it was said to be a help, Su Rui didn't pay her wages.Just one person took five eggs.Don't underestimate the five eggs at this time. Due to the drought and reduced production, few ordinary families can raise chickens. Su Rui gave them five eggs, basically saving them for the New Year's dinner...

"Uncle Chang Le, thank you for coming out to help in such a cold day." Su Rui sent everyone out of the hospital.

Su Changle didn't think it was a big deal, so he just waved his hands behind his back and left.

The next day, Su Wan wanted to go out to play with Su Min, Su Rui didn't ask Su Qiao to follow her this time, instead she asked Su Chen Rui to hug Su Chen Nan and follow her.

Seeing that the elder sister left her behind, Su Qiao looked at the elder sister a little strangely: "Elder sister, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Well, won't it be Wan'er's birthday in a few days. I want to make some delicious food for her..."

Su Ying said angrily at the side: "Oh, I forgot..."

Su Rui thought about the things needed for the chicken cake in her mind, and replied: "It's okay, there are so many things at home this year, it's right to forget. All your birthday sisters will remember it in the future."

Su Qiao thought of a strange-shaped thing that the eldest sister asked someone to build yesterday.Then he asked, "Sister, do you want to use that thing by the wall for food?"

Su Rui was amazed that every time Su Qiao focused on the key points, she grasped them accurately: "Yes, that is called a roasting kiln, and you can roast food without staring at it."

"And steamed buns and pancakes can be baked without steaming, and there are many other things that can be baked."

Su Qiao's eyes sparkled: "Then what are you going to do with this kiln now?"

Su Rui touched her chin and said slowly, "chicken cake"

Su Ying was puzzled: "Is it a cake made of eggs?"

"Well, take a cake made of eggs, sugar, flour, and oil."

"Sister, tell me. I'll do it..." Su Qiao pulled Su Rui into the kitchen, took out eggs, sugar and flour lard.

"Wait a minute, first fire up the oven."

Su Ying grabbed the elder sister who was going to the barbecue pit, and said quickly: "Elder sister, I don't have anything to do, I'll cook it. You can teach Qiaoer how to do it."

"Okay." Su Rui thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Su Qiao had prepared everything, Su Rui looked at her eagerly, and replied with a smile: "Separate the egg yolk and egg white into two large bowls, add some melted and cooled oil to the egg yolk, Just put as much water as oil, and put it on...one egg, one and a half teaspoons of white sugar, mix evenly, then add half a bowl of flour, mix evenly and that’s it.”

Su Qiao listened to the step-by-step operation, and continued to look at Su Rui after finishing.

"Sister, what then?"

Su Rui continued, "Then, add an egg and a spoonful of sugar into the egg white, and beat in one direction until the egg white turns white and solidifies."

"This process will take a long time. The eldest sister will switch calls with you."

While Su Qiao was beating egg whites, Su Rui directly applied a little oil with her hand because she didn't have a brush, and put it in a few porcelain bowls, lest the egg cake would not come off after it was baked...

The two played alternately for about three quarters of an hour, about forty minutes, and finally finished the fight.

Su Rui thought to herself, "If this is done in a modern machine, it will be fine in a few minutes at most."

"First put the beaten egg white into the egg yolk batter to one-third, and stir gently, don't stir in circles, otherwise it won't rise when it's baked."

"After it's ready, pour the egg yolk paste into the egg white and mix well."

"Sister, it's all right."

Su Rui quickly put the bowl smeared with lard in front of Su Qiao.

"Pour the mixed batter into a bowl, and a bowl should be at most [-]% full"

Su Ying watched in amazement, "Sister, with only four eggs, you can crack so much egg white."

Su Rui didn't know how to explain it to her. The egg white was whipped into meringue when exposed to air.

I can only say: "When it is baked, it will become bigger, even bigger than steamed steamed buns."

"Wow………"

When Su Rui waited for Su Qiao to finish it soon, she opened the burning oven, shoveled out the excess firewood, left only a little residue and swept it around, leaving an open space in the middle.

Su Qiao filled all the bowls with egg mixture and shouted, "Sister, it's all done."

"Okay, you guys bring them here." Su Rui put the chicken cake batter into the baking pit bowl by bowl.Use wooden boards to block the entrance and exit tightly...

Su Rui clapped her hands and said, "Okay, just wait for a quarter of an hour."

"Second Sister, go and call Wan'er and Chen Rui back. You are calling Chen Yuan's siblings and Qin'er's siblings to eat chicken cakes together."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

"Sister, I seem to smell the fragrance. It smells so good..." Su Qiao stood in front of the baking cellar, reluctant to leave, and tried her best to inhale her nose.

Su Rui smiled, "It will be delicious after a while."

After a while, Su Ying came back with a group of children.

Su Wan smelled the fragrance and ran over, "Sister, why is it so fragrant?"

Su Rui smiled, "Wan'er, today is your birthday. Eldest sister and your second and third sisters will give you a birthday gift together."

"Wow... This delicious one is Wan'er's birthday gift? When can Wan'er eat it?"

"On behalf of the eldest sister, greet all brothers, sisters and younger brothers, and sit in the main room. It will be fine in a while." Su Rui signaled everyone to enter the main room and wait a while.

Su Chennan hugged Su Rui's thigh, and said in a childish voice, "Elder sister, eat, eat."

Su Rui picked him up and said, "Okay, eat. After a while..."

When the time came, Su Rui handed Su Chennan to Su Qiao, and then opened the oven.A burst of rich sweet aroma hits the nostrils...

Carefully take it out, turn it upside down on the chopping board, and cut into small pieces.Everyone saw that pieces of fragrant, soft and light yellow cakes were served on the table.

"Elder Sister hereby wishes that Wan'er will have a smooth life."

"Sister Wan'er, happy birthday"

"Little sister, I hope you are always happy"

Everyone said their blessings one by one.

Su Rui was too embarrassed to pick up each one of them, but just looked at her.

Then he handed everyone a piece: "Eat it quickly, this is chicken cake, it tastes best when it's hot."

I took a bite first, and the others started to eat...

"Eldest sister, this is delicious." Su Wan said vaguely as her mouth was full of food.

Su Rui picked up the handkerchief and wiped Su Wan's mouth, "Eat slowly, there will be more, and I will often cook for you in the future."

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, it was getting late and they were all ready to go home.

Su Qiang walked to the door and came back, a little embarrassed and said: "Sister Rui, my grandma has bad teeth, so she can definitely eat this... Can I get some materials, and you can help me make some?"

Su Rui sighed, when Su Qiang eats a chicken cake, he can always think of his elders with bad teeth, he is really a filial child...

"I'm just guiding by the side, and the process is all done by Qiaoer. You can discuss it with Qiaoer..."

Su Qiang looked at Su Qiao: "Sister Qiaoer, I will often help you collect firewood and water in the future. Can you do it for me?"

Su Qiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yes, yes."

"Thank you sister Qiaoer."

Su Qiang ran away like a little fool...
