Chapter 107 Birthday
Place upside down on a plate set with two chopsticks to cool.
After an hour, the homemade cream is ready.
Zhao Yeqing cleaned the homemade egg beater and started trying to whip cream.
Whether it will succeed or not depends on now.
Beating cream was easier than beating egg whites. She had just beaten it for five minutes, and the liquid in the basin slowly turned into solid cream.
Zhao Yeqing dipped her fingers into some and tasted it. The milky taste was slightly lighter than the finished cream she bought, but she was already very satisfied.
Beat for a few more minutes to allow the cream to harden slightly so it doesn't melt too quickly.
I glanced at the time, it was already seven o'clock, and the sunlight outside turned orange.
The cake embryo has cooled down, and after being turned upside down, it shrinks a little more than before. Overall, it is very successful.
The golden skin around and on the cake embryo must be peeled off to expose the sponge-like middle part, and the shaved parts will go into your stomach.
Zhao Yeqing found a knife, dug out the cream from the basin and spread it on the cake. There was no fruit to decorate, and there were some fruit-flavored candies among the supplies she collected. She decorated the cake with round fruit candies.
There were no birthday candles, so Zhao Yeqing found a rush. The rush was thin and white and could be lit and inserted into the cake as a candle.
Rushes are also an herb and are not harmful when placed on cakes.
After everything was ready, Zhao Yeqing hid the cake in a bucket and lowered it into the well to refrigerate it.
I originally planned to make smoked fish for dinner tonight, but I'm afraid it's too late now. Making the cake takes a bit long.
Zhao Yeqing took out the flour and planned to make two bowls of noodles tonight.
Longevity noodles should be long and unbreakable. After kneading the noodles, she carefully kneaded an extra-long noodle to avoid breaking it after cooking. The noodles were as thick as a little finger.
It’s not necessarily delicious, it’s mainly a good sign.
If it’s not delicious, there’s cake behind it.
I will feed the dogs at home with the remaining fish soup tonight, just in time to consume the last fish.
After Zhao Yeqing cooked the fish soup, Mu Xi entered the house with the sheep and the dog.
"We can eat soon." Zhao Yeqing was afraid that he would find the cake when he went to fetch water, so he pointed to the bucket at the door, "The water is ready for you, wash up quickly."
Scoop out two tablespoons of the cooked fish soup. The noodles have been cooked with water in advance, and then put into the fish soup. Add a poached egg and a few freshly grown vegetable leaves on top.
Zhao Yeqing's bowl was ordinary noodles, and Mu Xi's bowl was handmade by her. She thought that today was not her birthday, so she didn't want to have that meaning, just in case the noodles she made were not delicious.
It is enough for one person to bear this suffering.
Mu Xi walked in, and Zhao Yeqing brought the noodles to him, "Try it."
Mu Xi took it and looked down at the unusual noodles in the bowl. The noodles were very thick and had to be cooked for a long time, so the surface of the noodles was a little mushy.
He was impressed by such an unsightly bowl of noodles. Zhao Yeqing coughed slightly in embarrassment, "It's a good sign, don't take it too seriously."
Mu Xi shook his head, picked up the chopsticks and stirred it gently in the bowl, found the head of the noodles, and started eating from the beginning carefully.
The outside of the noodles was a little puffy, but the inside was just barely cooked. Zhao Ye Qingguang knew it wasn't very tasty, so he ate the finished noodles in his bowl with a guilty conscience.
Mu Xi didn't say a word until he finished all the noodles, side dishes and soup before he raised his head.
"delicious."
Zhao Yeqing thought that these three words were somewhat sarcastic, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Mu Xi's eyebrows softening, a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, and little bits of light dancing in his eyes.
She didn't know why she looked blankly, but after a few seconds she came back to her senses. Her cheeks were a little hot, she lowered her head quickly and said randomly, "It's delicious. I'll make it for you next year."
Unexpectedly, the other party's voice responded solemnly, "It's agreed."
Is it really that delicious?
Zhao Yeqing even doubted whether he had performed beyond his normal capabilities.
After she finished eating the noodles and the rice on the pot was steamed, Mu Xi walked over and filled Gouzi's rice bowl.
Zhao Yeqing took the opportunity to go out and go around to the back of the house to pull the cake up from the well.
I lit rushes outside the house and carried them in carefully.
She didn't sing happy birthday, feeling that would be a bit embarrassing.
Afraid that the rushes would go out, I walked in cautiously.
When he reached Mu Xi, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said with a smile, "Mu Xi, happy birthday."
Mu Xi lowered his head slightly and looked at the girl in front of him with crooked eyebrows and her pretty face looking a little hazy in the weak firelight.
His throat moved slightly, and some emotion in his heart seemed to be unsuppressed and about to burst out, and he looked at her with deep eyes.
Seeing that the person in front of him was motionless, Zhao Yeqing urged, "Hurry up and make a wish, this rush is almost emitting black smoke."
Mu Xi suppressed his emotions, reached out to take the cake, held it for himself, closed his eyes and made a wish before blowing out the candles.
This cake probably took a lot of effort. He wanted to spend this birthday well before talking about anything else. He was afraid of affecting her mood and wasting all his efforts.
"Try it quickly!" Zhao Yeqing took a spoon and handed it to him.
Since it's just the two of them, they don't have to worry about cutting the cake, and there are two less dishes to wash.
Mu Xi took the spoon, took a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's delicious."
The cook must be the happiest when his food is praised. Zhao Yeqing also took a spoon and took a bite from it.
"As expected of me."
Mu Xi looked at her triumphant look, and without stopping, he ate most of the whole cake.
Zhao Yeqing handed him the unused milk after opening the cake, "Drink some and don't choke."
She also ate half of it. The cream cake soothed her recent fatigue. If only there were cows, there would be inexhaustible milk to make the cake.
Logically speaking, goat's milk should be able to be used, but I'm afraid it won't be too spicy if it's not processed properly.
After eating the cake, Mu Xi cleaned up the bowls while Zhao Yeqing went to take a shower.
I sweated no less in the kitchen than when I went outside. After washing myself and lying on the bed, I fell asleep within a few minutes.
Mu Xi put night grass in the sheepfold and stables before going to take a bath.
Zhao Yeqing was already asleep when he returned to the room. The moonlight shone in and shone on the bed. The girl was sleeping soundly holding the quilt. Her knee-length shorts had been pulled up a bit, and there were three or two red spots that looked particularly dazzling.
Mu Xi only glanced at it and immediately looked away. He lit mosquito coils in the corner of the room. Before the mosquito coils took effect, he squatted beside the bed to drive away the mosquitoes with his hands.
The top of the moon.
The sleeping bag was completely opened and spread out on the ground. Mu Xi lay down on it and closed his eyes.
He hasn't had a good birthday for a long time. Since his grandparents passed away, the most he can do on birthdays is go out for dinner with a few work friends.
The feeling of celebrating birthdays at home is already blurry.
He thought he didn't care.
Mu Xi couldn't sleep very well, but he didn't dare to open his eyes and look in the direction of the bed.
His last thought before falling asleep was that it would be nice if he could just make a wish.
