Grandma Zhou was in a hurry to do things, and she did it as soon as she said, she put the fruit knife into Gu Xiaobai's hand, "Peel the apple, cut it into cubes, and wait for it to be used."

Don't need servants to help, Grandma Zhou prefers to do it herself, and feels that she needs to move more when she is older, otherwise her bones will become stiffer.This was the case when buying apples before, and she couldn't wait for the servant to buy them, so she went out with the basket by herself, saying that she was just going for a walk, and there were not many ways.

While Xiaobai was cutting apples, Grandma Zhou started to make puff pastry. Her best apple pie is puff pastry apple pie, which is also the most popular pie.

"Xiaobai, look, this meringue is my grandma's best. To make the meringue well, you need to use animal butter. After the dough is wrapped in butter, you have to roll it out. If you find air bubbles, you need to puncture it. Repeat several times. It will be crispy when it is baked. When it is used, it will be cut into a circle of suitable size, and an embryo will appear." Grandma Zhou stood for a while, a little unsteady, but she still supported Gu Xiaobai It is rare for young people to cook delicious food with her to demonstrate the method of puff pastry. Grandma Zhou is also very happy, but she cannot keep up mentally and physically.

Gu Xiaobai had already cut the apple into small pieces of the same size, and the serious and careful appearance of pursing her lips made Grandma Zhou smile knowingly.She was cutting an apple in her hand, but Gu Xiaobai still listened carefully to Grandma Zhou's words. Seeing that Grandma Zhou was tired, she immediately helped her to sit aside, "Grandma Zhou, take a break."

Granny Zhou leaned on the chair, shook her head and smiled, "Oh, I'm getting older, and I promised to invite Xiaobai to eat the apple pie made by Grandma Zhou herself, but now I can only let someone else make it for Xiaobai to taste."

Finally got rid of the tiger's cuckoo and ran to the kitchen, when she heard Grandma Zhou say that, she immediately ran to Gu Xiaobai's paws and hugged Gu Xiaobai's trouser legs, "Meow, meow."

Gu Xiaobai bent down and hugged Gu Gu, and patted Gu Gu's head with playful eyes, "Are you having fun?"

Cuckoo flicked his tail in displeasure, the tiger was dead heavy, he hated it to death by pressing his own tail. 【Master, master, come and make apple pie! ] A cooing voice sounded directly in his mind, urging Gu Xiaobai to make apple pie by himself.

Gu Xiaobai's eyes moved, and he tried to say [I won't. 】

[No, I will teach you. 】

Cuckoo has sorted out the memories of Gu Xiaobai's previous life, and he can call up useful memory materials to play to Gu Xiaobai at any time, but memories are memories after all, and he is limited by the experience of the person involved, so it is impossible to cover all aspects of knowledge. Fortunately, Gu Xiaobai's occupations and experiences in each life are different, covering different fields, providing rich resources for Gu Xiaobai in this life, because of Gu Gu's existence, Gu Xiaobai is considered a blessing in disguise.

A recipe for the thousand-layer meringue apple pie played in Gu Xiaobai's mind. Gu Xiaobai seemed to have experienced it personally, and had already mastered the theory of making the thousand-layer meringue apple pie. What he lacked was the opportunity to turn the theory into practice.

【Master, let's go into details, as long as you make it according to the recipe in memory, it will definitely be better than Grandma Zhou's cooking.The task is to help Grandma Zhou make apple pie, but if you complete the apple pie independently, there will be extra rewards, come on! ] Waving his little paw, Gu Gu encouraged Gu Xiaobai.

Don't look at a memory, time must have passed for a long time, in fact, it was only a while later, Gu Xiaobai put Goo Goo into Grandma Zhou's arms, and said with a smile: "Grandma Zhou, I saw someone else made apple pie, you If you can trust me, let me do it, and you will guide me from the side.”

Grandma Zhou smiled brighter, she put Gu Gu on her lap, and gently smoothed Gu Gu's soft hair, "I knew Xiaobai would do it, it's very simple, Grandma Zhou is watching, don't worry Do it boldly."

"Ah."

According to the way I remembered, Gu Xiaobai was doing it seriously, first pour the diced apples into the pot and mix them with sugar until the water is basically evaporated, then add lemon juice, wine, chopped walnuts and wine-soaked raisins, and stir well Then turn off the fire.After the filling is done, it can be used after it cools down. During the cooling period, Gu Xiaobai modified the puff pastry by cutting a cross pattern in the middle of the top piece, and brushing the bottom piece with egg wash , Gu Xiaobai stopped his hands as soon as he finished brushing, the egg wash acts as an adhesive, now it dries after brushing, it is useless at all.

For those who have never cooked, he should wait for the filling to cool before brushing with egg wash.

Gu Xiaobai glanced at the stuffing annoyed, and wondered when it would be cold with the current weather!

Grandma Zhou gave a loving smile, and tapped the container containing the stuffing lightly with her fingers, only to see a layer of light frost formed on the glass container, and the stuffing inside immediately cooled down, with a layer of refreshing The coolness makes the filling taste better.

"Haha, although Grandma Zhou's cultivation is not high, she can still use it for cooking." Grandma Zhou is an ice elementalist with a high-level apprenticeship. Although she is not a master, she is very good at using elemental power for cooking.

Gu Xiaobai's eyes darkened, and he smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart. He is just an ordinary person, and it is probably impossible for him to experience this feeling in his life.

Fighters and elemental warriors are the names for two types of people, and there are many specific occupations and categories under them. Elemental warriors can be generally called by the elemental power that the person has mastered. In addition to the five elements, there are also There are derived elementalists, gold vs. thunder, wood vs. wind, water vs. ice, fire vs. light, and earth vs. darkness. Many elementalists who sense multiple elements are sensed by both the main element and the derived element.However, multi-element fighters basically focus on the main element and the secondary elements. After all, there is more room for the cultivation of the main element.

Gu Xiaobai knew all these basic knowledge, and he had talked about it in class, but he knew what he knew, except that he used it a little during the exam, and it had nothing to do with him at other times.Gu Xiaobai's smile was a little far-fetched, and he continued to bury his head in making apple pie. His overly long bangs covered his eyes, making Gu Xiaobai look a little lonely at this moment.

Grandma Zhou put away her smile, and sighed in her heart, how difficult this world is for ordinary people, it takes more time and energy to get what martial fighters and elementalists can easily get, Gu Xiaobai is a good boy, But just a normal person.Soon, Grandma Zhou changed her mind again, so what about ordinary people, the current prime minister is not an ordinary person, as long as he works hard and has some opportunities, everything is possible.

"Xiaobai is going to take the unified exam next semester!" Every year in mid-November, there will be a unified exam for the whole of China. Anyone who has reached the full age and has received a systematic college education can take part. There is no limit to the number of times you can take it. , You can pass the exam until you are old or die.Those who pass the exam can get the opportunity to enter a higher education and enter various colleges to continue their studies, and ordinary people can do the same.

"En." Putting a finished apple pie on the baking tray, Gu Xiaobai responded softly.

"Whether Xiaobai wants to continue to study or work, I think it's better to go to school. The Ocean College in Linglan City is good. Xiaobai works hard and passes the unified examination. Grandma Zhou will write you a letter of introduction."

Linglan City is a higher-level city in Nancheng, the capital city of the province, and the Ocean College is also the number one university in the entire empire, and it is very special. The main enrollment targets are ordinary people, who study humanities, arts, legal history and other courses that do not require training. Moreover, the school has a profound cultural background and a free and relaxed atmosphere, unlike schools that mainly enroll fighters and elementalists who look down on ordinary people.

"Thank you Grandma Zhou. I'm still thinking about what to do in the future. After all, I'll be eighteen in a month." Gu Xiaobai placed the last apple pie on the baking tray, and evenly brushed it on each apple pie. A thin layer of egg wash, and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes before eating. "Grandma Zhou is ready, and there are more than 30 of them. Have you seen enough?"

It means that you are truly an adult, and it also means that you do not need a guardian to be truly independent, and you can freely dispose of your own property.The wrinkles on the corners of Grandma Zhou's lips hide a coldness. Gu Xiaobai's adulthood is not easy. With the usual behavior of Ye Suzhen and Gu Changhe, it is easy to imagine what Gu Xiaobai will face. Gu Xiaobai's biological mother, Lin Yuemei, married into the Gu family back then. Grandma Zhou still remembers the ten miles of red makeup.

"Well, that's enough. There's still a month left. If Xiaobai has any difficulties then, just tell grandma, grandma will make the decision for you." Just spent a few hours with Gu Xiaobai, Grandma Zhou completely liked this child, see He looks a bit rude and indifferent, but he is actually a good boy with a cold heart and a warm heart. He likes cats, listens to his nagging without getting annoyed, and can make apple pie. Where can you find such a good boy.

"Thank you Grandma Zhou." Gu Xiaobai smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, and the smile reached his eyes. He could feel that Grandma Zhou's words were not polite words but genuine caring from the heart. He didn't understand that it was just a few hours of being together. How could Grandma Zhou treat him so well, even better than the relatives who have been with him for more than ten years, no, those relatives who have been together for more than ten years cannot be compared with Grandma Zhou at all.

Sometimes the fate between people is so wonderful, you don’t need to get along for a long time to like each other, a casual action, a word that is not special, an inconspicuous little thing... just let two Complete strangers get along harmoniously together, which is better than blood relationship.

[Ding, help Grandma Zhou make apple pie tasks and turn to independently make apple pies for Grandma Zhou. The task is upgraded and 5 points of experience are gained. 】

[Ding, the skill of making food is activated, this is the first compulsory skill activated, rewarding 5 points of experience. 】

Gu Xiaobai opened the system interface suspiciously, two circular badges appeared under the profile picture on the main interface, one lit up and became golden, the other was still dim gray, and a word was written on the golden one—compulsory, and the gray one There are two words written on it - elective.Gu Xiaobai wanted to further research what it was, but it was not his own territory after all, and the weird behavior would make people suspicious. Gu Xiaobai heard the beep from the oven, indicating that the apple pie was ready.

"Grandma Zhou, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

"Yeah, it's already 05:30, and Xiaobai was delayed from going home for dinner. Come on, first help grandma take the apple pie to the yard. You can also take a few back home to try. The taste is even better if you make it yourself." Zhou Grandma also didn't ask Gu Xiaobai to stay for dinner, this was the first time they got along, and the two of them were not the only ones having dinner together later, it was embarrassing for both of them, Grandma Zhou didn't ask her to stay.

The apple pie is baked very well, and the appearance is very good. The crispy golden appearance and the sweet taste make people's index fingers move.

Grandma Zhou invited a lot of people to have fun together in the yard. Many people have already come. They saw a strange young man behind Grandma Zhou, with hideous scabs on her face. I asked Grandma Zhou who that person was.

"It's the kid from the Gu family." Grandma Zhou happily introduced her new friend, and then smiled coldly, "What a wonderful child, to be harmed like this by his stepmother."

"This kid is not bad." After hearing what Grandma Zhou said, everyone said one after another.

Gu Xiaobai was also very happy. The time spent with Grandma Zhou seemed very pleasant. It was nice to have someone care about her. When she entered the door, there was still a smile on her mouth, but she was overwhelmed by the fake concern on the face of the person who was walking towards her. It's gone, doesn't Ye Suzhen feel disgusted, every time we meet, I have to be so caring about myself?
