Chapter 206: Making the Cake and Eating It Alone
This is not the first time Yu Hongdou has made a cake.
She did it once a few years ago when Yu Song passed the imperial examination.
However, the technology was not mature at that time, the cake base was a little overbaked, and the cream was not stirred enough, resulting in the whole work being a bit poor.
Fortunately, the taste was good, and the family of four plus Master Mo, a total of five people, happily shared it.
Later, Yu Hongdou practiced twice more, and then found that Qian Sanmei did it faster and better than her, so Yu Hongdou gave up.
No one can be good at everything. She is already good enough, so we should always give others some room to perform.
However, Yu Song has a filter for his younger sister and feels that Qian Sanmei's performance is not as good as his younger sister's.
Yu Hongdou secretly thought that her brother might like a burnt taste, so she planned to make an extra caramel pudding for him today.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, the three brothers of the Tan family followed her.
"What are you doing?" Tan Mengao looked at Yu Hongdou covered in flour with a little disgust.
Yu Hongdou rolled her eyes at him.
"What? You became mute after seeing your cousin?" Tan Mengao raised his eyebrows, his eyes drooped, and his mouth was pursed into a straight line, looking quite tough.
It was the first time he made such an expression. Yu Hongdou was stunned and felt that this kind of Tan Mengao was really strange.
After careful consideration, I feel that he is probably the real nobleman of the capital, with a distinguished family background and tremendous power.
She seemed to have always treated them casually, forgetting that these were "powerful figures" who could call the shots in the capital.
"Seventh brother, if you keep pretending, the little girl will be scared and cry." Tan Yanlin saw the little girl's expression changing with her gaze, and immediately told his brother to stop.
"When did you become so timid? I was nice to you before in vain." Tan Mengao immediately grinned, dipped his hand in some flour and rubbed it on Yu Hongdou's forehead.
"Go away~ You're the one who made fun of me just now." Yu Hongdou was not afraid of course, she just felt that he was weird today.
"I'm not kidding you. I actually had something to talk to you about, but you haven't come to see me for a long time, and I forgot what it was." Tan Mengao looked shameless.
"Heh~" Yu Hongdou sneered, ignored him, and turned around to beat the eggs.
Tan Langxuan looked at his brother, then at his younger brother who looked curious and seemed to be learning, and silently stepped forward to help beat the eggs.
"The egg white and yolk must be separated." Yu Hongdou's expression looked better, and she instructed Tan Langxu how to separate the egg white.
It was the first time for Tan Langxiu to do this, but his hands were quick and he quickly mastered the rhythm and even became a little addicted.
However, Yu Hongdou did not give him a chance. She took away the egg yolk, handed him the egg white with sugar, and also stuffed a bamboo brush in his hand.
"Beat it in one direction until it forms white bubbles." Tan Langxu did as Yu Hongdou said and started stirring quickly.
"Does this cake have a layer of dessert inside and a layer of white frosting outside?" Tan Yanlin watched as the egg whites in Ninth Brother's hands turned into white bubbles and hesitantly described what he remembered.
"Yes, it's not frosting sugar. Although it is whipped with egg whites, it is called cream." Yu Hongdou looked at Tan Yanlin in surprise.
She didn't tell them about the cake in her letter, mainly because she wanted to keep cake as a skill of her own.
Although Tian Manman might be able to do it...but Yu Hongdou has not seen Tian Manman make any snacks yet.
"My master's wife once said that on her birthday when she was young, her mother would personally make her a kind of snack with a layer of yellow fluffy pastry inside and a layer of white foam-like ingredients on the outside."
"It tastes soft and sweet, but Master's mother disappeared when she was seven years old." Tan Yanlin recalled Master's wife's words, but his eyes never left Ninth Brother's hand.
Wen Xin suddenly turned into horror, and Yu Hongdou couldn't help but stop what she was doing.
"Why did she disappear?" Yu Hongdou's first reaction was that she was abducted.
"I don't know. My teacher's wife only remembers that after my mother disappeared, her father entrusted her to a classmate, who is my teacher's home, and then disappeared with her mother." Tan Yanlin shook his head.
After my wife left her parents, she fell seriously ill and forgot about her parents. It was only in the past few years that she gradually remembered some of them.
However, over the years, there have been many natural disasters and man-made tragedies, and the world has changed so much that even if you want to find it, there is no trace of it.
Yu Hongdou was silent for a moment. "This cake is actually very easy to make, but it takes a little effort. You have to pay attention to the time and the heat. Remember it and ask someone to make it for your wife later."
If the cake can comfort a child who has left her mother and help her fulfill her childhood dream, Yu Hongdou would not hesitate to make it public.
"Well, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." Tan Yanlin nodded.
If his master's wife had not been dying, he would not have done this. The little girl had never mentioned the cake to them, obviously wanting to keep it a secret.
"This thing is just troublesome to make and can't be preserved for too long." Yu Hongdou said lightly, which was also a disguised explanation for why she didn't make cakes for them.
"Then is this made for us?" Seeing that the crisis was over, Tan Mengao shamelessly came over to take over the conversation.
"Of course not. This is a celebratory gift for my brother and cousin." Yu Hongdou rolled her eyes at him.
"I say, why were you so resentful when you first met my cousin? Are you jealous that my cousin is good-looking and good at studying?" Yu Hongdou is not a fool. She naturally saw that Tan Mengao was somewhat hostile to his cousin.
"...That's right. It was enough to make me angry when Xiao Shiyi was the previous example, and now another one pops up. How can I not be jealous?" Tan Mengao was choked and "admitted" with a wandering look.
"Ha, there's nothing we can do about it. Our bodies and hair are from our parents, but our brains are developed after birth." Yu Hongdou raised her eyebrows, imitating what he had just done, and laughed at him bluntly.
"Heh~" Tan Mengao was speechless and raised his hand to knock the little girl on the forehead.
"Seventh Brother, you are not smart enough so don't criticize others~" Tan Langxu blocked it with a bamboo brush with a cream hook.
Tan Mengao was tapping the white cream on the bamboo brush with one hand. The wet touch made him frown. He put his hand to his nose, smelled it, licked it, and immediately widened his eyes in surprise.
"Have another bite." Tan Mengao stretched out his hand with a smile, but this time his brother hit him back.
"I haven't washed my hands." Tan Langxiu hit his brother with a bamboo brush and turned around to rinse the brush.
"I don't care, little girl. You can't be so partial. Why are your brother and cousin brothers, but we are not brothers?" Tan Mengao circled around Yu Hongdou, complaining as he walked.
“Okay, okay, I’ll make one for you too~” Yu Hongdou raised her foot impatiently and kicked him in the air, signaling him to dodge.
Tan Mengao achieved his goal, jumped away happily, and stood aside to watch the fun.
Tan Yanlin rolled his eyes speechlessly. He really couldn't bear to look at his silly brother.
With the little girl's hospitality, she would never abandon her guests and eat alone with her family, not to mention that there was a big shot like An Hedi there.
But this time, Tan Yanlin miscalculated. Yu Hongdou actually secretly gave her brother some special treatment.
