Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

If you spit it out now, can you still go back alive?

Mu Xi took two bites and fell silent.

He pointed at the carp and said, "This species seems to be a type of naked carp. I checked it in the book and saw it, but I don't know about this big one."

Some naked carps are farmed. The ones she has seen look different from the one in front of her, but they are indeed somewhat similar, so they are not considered protected species.

After eating, Zhao Yeqing fed the remaining fish soup made from sea bass to Gouzi, as well as a naked carp, which she planned to make into smoked fish tomorrow.

The fish bones were thrown to a few puppies to grind their teeth.

Coyotito grows up very fast. In just a few months, he is already almost as old as his mother.

Fortunately, the grassland was very big, and the dogs were really smart, so she didn't need to walk them. Otherwise, with the energetic dogs at home, she would be too tired to get up after walking them every day.

Although the sun is not very bright now, Zhao Yeqing still wants to get up early and go to the fields to plow them.

After taking a shower, I returned to the room and heard Mu Xi cutting today's grass in the hay room next door.

Zhao Yeqing said hello and went to bed first.

Go to bed early and get up early.

It's not bright yet, and it's still gray outside, with some faint light.

Zhao Yeqing climbed up gently.

Pick up the plow, take Xiaohong and go out.

Gumu and Xuebing heard the noise and ran out.

Now the two and four dogs live together, becoming brothers and sisters.

She doesn't take them out often anymore.

The clouded leopard cannot grow very big, and it is only 70 to 80 centimeters now.

Zhao Yeqing touched their heads and said, "Then come with me."

Walking to the wheat field, Zhao Yeqing fed Xiao Hong a handful of grass before letting him start working.

Sticky and Snow Cake were on the hilltop nearby, jumping down and running up again.

Zhao Yeqing had plowed the wheat field for more than half when the sun rose from the horizon.

The morning mist was dispersed and the first ray of morning light was shed.

Zhao Yeqing touched his belly and felt hungry. He left the plow in the field, led Xiaohong and called the two little leopards home.

Guomu and Xuebing meowed twice, turned around and ran into the forest.

It's like guarding their mother while she works. After finishing her work, they go out to look for food.

This made her, an old mother, very happy.

When he got home, Mu Xi was already up.

In the yard are wheat and highland barley seeds that were taken out to dry after the morning dew.

There is still a faint fragrance floating around.

Zhao Yeqing walked into the kitchen, and Mu Xi brought over a bowl of omelette noodles with milky white soup.

"I've eaten. You eat slowly. I'll take Xiaohong out to feed her."

Zhao Yeqing took the noodles. The edge of the bowl was warm but not hot to the touch. He slowly ate the noodles and watched the show. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Mu Xi going out.

She ate all the noodles in a few times and dug out the flour from under the cabinet.

January 1st, today is Mu Xi’s birthday.

It was a little too early to make cakes now. She decided on the ingredients first and then built an oven similar to the brick oven outside.

Zhao Yeqing moved the red bricks from the corner to the back of the greenhouse. It was relatively hidden here and even if Mu Xi came back, he would not be discovered for a while.

Use yellow mud and bricks to build a simple version of the oven, and wrap the middle layer with tin foil to prevent the top yellow mud from falling into the cake.

She didn't have cream, but she could use milk instead.

Among the first supplies brought back from the village were two cartons of milk.

When the milk turns into cream, you need to add some gelatine sheets.

There is none in this village, but she has the raw materials to make her own.

Yesterday's fish had a swim bladder in its belly, which is the raw material of gelatine.

Zhao Yeqing had to take advantage of Mu Xi's absence to prepare all the materials.

Carefully rub the fish maw with water and soak it in white vinegar to eliminate the fishy smell.

This step will take some time. Zhao Yeqing plans to go out to plow the fields first and send Mu Xi out later.

After building the oven and handling the fish maw, Mu Xi had already brought back the first load of grass with Xiao Hong.

Seeing Zhao Yeqing about to walk out, he blinked in confusion, "You're eating noodles and watching a drama at home, and you're still sweating?"

Zhao Yeqing immediately squatted twice on the spot, "I'm exercising my body and practicing self-defense skills."

Mu Xi no doubt nodded, "If you want to learn, I will teach you later."

Zhao Yeqing nodded repeatedly, "Then I'll go out first."

Xiaohong was in a good mood after eating, and the speed of pulling the plow was so much faster that Zhao Yeqing couldn't keep up.

But in this way, a piece of land was plowed before evening.

Zhao Yeqing picked up Xiao Hong and ran back, leaving the plow in the field without taking it.

When I got home, Mu Xi was not there.

Zhao Yeqing breathed a sigh of relief and collected the seeds that were dried outside the yard first. The humidity was heavy in the evening, and the dried seeds were easily affected by moisture again in the morning and evening.

Go to the kitchen and start making cakes.

Take out the fish maw, rinse off the white vinegar, put it in the pot and start steaming.

After the fish maw was steamed, part of it melted in the steamed soup. Zhao Yeqing took it out on a plate with a rag to let it cool.

The steamed isinglass is gelatine.

Zhao Yeqing went to the oven at the back and turned up the fire.

Make the cake embryo first.

Take three eggs out of the basket, separate the egg yolks and egg whites, beat the egg yolks and add some sugar and corn oil, then add the flour and milk and stir evenly.

Egg whites are more labor-intensive.

Zhao Yeqing took a beverage bottle, cut it in the middle, and cut the half of the bottle with the cap into two-thirds of it, one by one, to turn it into a homemade egg beater.

Put the homemade egg beater into a stainless steel basin filled with egg whites, add a little sugar, and start stirring wildly until the egg whites turn into white bubbles, then add sugar and continue stirring.

When the big bubbles disappear and the egg whites turn into small bubbles, add the third sugar. Wait until the egg white bubbles disappear and become snow-white and dense.

Her hand was almost broken.

Mix the meringue and egg yolk batter together and pour it into a large stainless steel round bowl. The bowl has been brushed with oil in advance to facilitate unmolding after baking.

Put the bowl into the oven, seal the mouth of the oven with tin foil, and increase the heat.

Make the cream during this time.

Zhao Yeqing also felt a little guilty. The principle was that it could be made with homemade gelatine. This was indeed the first time. If it failed, he would have to eat vegetarian cake embryos.

The cooled isinglass condensed into a piece, and Zhao Yeqing melted it again. He let it cool before mainly to see if it was successful.

Pour the melted isinglass into the milk and sugar and stir evenly.

After reaching this step, it needs to be put in the refrigerator to keep it cold, but the conditions at home are a bit embarrassing, so Zhao Yeqing can only put it in the well and hang it.

Take it out and stir it every fifteen minutes and put it in again.

Forty minutes later, the cake was baked. After Zhao Yeqing removed the fire, he wrapped his hands in a thick towel and took out the bowl.

The surface is golden and the aroma of egg is overflowing.

Even without tasting it, Zhao Yeqing knew that it was definitely not overturned.
