Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

Early the next morning.

After the milk was delivered to the shop, Yan Xia started making it.

She only used less than half the milk.

The rest was left to the two daughters to render butter.

Looks like I need to buy some cows.

If cake is introduced, the demand for milk will be greater.

In the afternoon, all the extracted whipped cream was stored, and Yan Xia took out a small jar to try making it in advance.

She read a baking book at noon while her children were sleeping.

Memorize the steps, bake the cake base, and then use two pairs of chopsticks to manually whip the cream.

God knows her hands are almost broken.

After whipping the cream, take a clean wooden board and spread the cream on it. Place a layer of rose jam and a layer of cream in the middle of the cake.

After everything was wrapped, Yan Xia spread the cream on the outside of the cake evenly and put a green leaf on it for decoration.

"Mom, is this a cake? I thought the cake you were talking about was egg custard."

Lamei looked at the birthday cake in front of her and was stunned.

"Come on, let's each taste a piece. Xiaoji will take this piece to the front first and give it to Jin Fu to eat."

"It's aunt."

Xiaoji was holding a plate, which was made of white ceramic.

On top was the same white cake, slightly yellowed.

There is a wooden spoon on the side of the cake.

"Brother Jin Fu, my aunt asked you to try this birthday cake. She just made it."

"Hey, I'll eat it now."

Jin Fu packed the cookies for the guests, took the cake, picked up the spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Oh, I've never tasted this before. It's so sweet. Mom is so awesome. The cake is more delicious than flower cakes and peach cakes, even better than biscuits."

Jin Fu didn't even care about the guests when he ate. Kuku even stuffed several spoons in. He didn't lick the spoon with dissatisfaction until all the cakes were finished.

"Is it so delicious? What is a birthday cake?"

Several customers sitting in the shop drinking tea asked curiously.

They were just about to leave when they came down the stairs and saw the shopkeeper's son eating something called a cake.

It looks white and yellow, and looks soft and waxy.

It's completely different from the egg custard they imagined.

"Sir, this is a new product that our shop has not launched yet, so we can't say anything yet."

Yan Xia's appearance interrupted the questions of several guests. She wanted to put a "mysterious veil" on the cake and wait for the county magistrate's lady to reveal it.

As for why Xiaoji was specifically asked to give it to Jinfu.

That is to whet the appetite of the guests.

Because of the introduction of biscuits, long queues began to form in the shop again.

One pass to ten and one hundred to pass.

Everyone will know she is working on new products.

The kind of gourmet who is not short of money and likes to eat may come to the shop every day to take a look.

Wait for her to push out the cake and be the first to take it into her mouth.

Yan Xia naughtily said a few nice words, dismissed the guests, and returned to the backyard. The weather was cold and the cake would not melt. She took the remaining half to the restaurant herself and cut it for Jin Lu Jingshui and six servants. a small piece.

The cake I tried this time was 6 inches.

There is simply not enough food for so many people.

Each person only gets a thin slice.

Take a quick taste.

Soon, the birthday of the magistrate’s only daughter came.

Yan Xia started making cakes early in the morning.

This time I made a ten-inch one.

It doesn’t matter the style when trying it out, but it can be given to the magistrate’s daughter, so the cake can’t look ordinary.

It has to look good!

She baked a light pink cake base with a small amount of red yeast rice powder, then took out the green plums she bought in advance and made green plum jam, which was sour and sweet, and spread it in the middle of the cake as a filling. The first layer was green plum jam mixed with cream. The second layer is rose jam mixed with cream, and the third layer is peach jam mixed with cream.

With three layers of fillings, the flavor is absolutely rich.

Get two pieces of gauze and wrap the cream to make a simple piping bag.

Pipe a circle of small balls onto the evenly spread butter cake.

A washed peach blossom is placed on each ball.

In the middle, a bamboo stick was dipped in rose sauce and the words "Happy Birthday" were written on it.

This time she learned a lesson. Instead of using chopsticks to whip the cream, she fixed dozens of bamboo skewers together and made a homemade manual whipper.

After it was done, Yan Xia called Zuo Li in.

I gave him a few instructions, telling him how to light candles on the cake, cut it into pieces, make wishes, and not to shake it when holding it, otherwise the cake would be damaged, etc.

Because she had enough time, Yan Xia also paid extra money to customize small birthday candles, also light pink, as well as wooden cake boxes and cutlery plates with simple patterns carved on them.

It says Yan's pastry shop in five big characters.

Tie the cake box with beautiful gauze.

Tie a bow on top.

That's it.

Yan Xia roughly calculated the cost, at least two taels of silver.

The gauze alone cost five taels to buy just one piece. Yan Xia cut the gauze into the shape of a rope in distress.

No wonder I used to watch TV and find that girls from wealthy families spent hundreds of taels a year.

The gauze she bought was only enough to make a ready-made garment for a two-year-old child.

It's enough to prove how expensive it is.

But worth it.

As long as the birthday cake is praised by Miss Lu, her shop will become an instant success. There are many rich families. Many merchants are richer than the magistrate. They learned that Miss Lu had eaten at Yan's Pastry Shop on her birthday. Of course, they will follow the trend and buy cakes.

Just wait for Yan Xia to set the price.

Yan Xia plans to draw a brochure for the cake.

Draw her pattern on it for guests to choose from.

Zuo Li left with the cake.

His body was extremely stiff, and he was afraid that if he shook too much, the cake would be ruined. With his cold face, everyone stayed two meters away from him when walking on the street, for fear that he would get angry and cause trouble to Chiyu.

Arrive at the magistrate's house.

The young lady was already waiting in the garden. The sun was in the sky at noon and it was not that cold. I saw the young lady playing guessing games in the garden with a dozen girls.

"Excuse me, Miss. This is a birthday cake that the magistrate specially sent to Yan's Pastry Shop to customize. It is the only one in the world and no one has ever eaten it. I hope Miss will like it."

Zuo Li bent down and after saying this, he placed the cake box on the stone table.

"Cake? What is a cake? Is this a surprise from daddy?"

Lu Baozhu is 15 years old this year and is the only daughter of Lu Zhixian. For birthdays in previous years, the Zhixian would send people to pick up her little sister and give her various precious gifts. Lu Zhixian is an upright official and his salary is actually not much. , if it weren’t for his wife’s dowry, he would probably have a very difficult life.

Because of his busy schedule this year, Magistrate Lu gave his daughter a hosta early and told her that he would not be able to celebrate her birthday with her.

For several days, he was so busy that he almost rested in Linxian County.

Lu Baozhu was very unhappy. On her birthday this year, she was without her father. Even after eating and playing with her little sisters for half an hour, she still didn't smile.

At this time, like a curious baby, she looked at the wooden box in front of her and asked Zuo Li.
