Chapter 66: Birthday Cake

Views:

About ten minutes later, Feng Junwei came over, holding his son whose eyes were swollen from crying. He apologized apologetically to Han Aiguo and Su Yue: "Aiguo, brother and sister, I'm really sorry today, it's because this stinky boy in my family is ignorant, and the child's mother is also ignorant, making my brother and sister feel wronged today. I just I've educated them, and now I'm bringing this stinky boy to apologize to you."

Feng Junwei is not as unreasonable as Fang Xiaoli is. He just learned about the situation outside. When he heard that Su Yue almost slipped and fell by his son's marbles, he was also shocked. If a pregnant woman fell down the stairs, it would be a problem. It's just one corpse and two lives, and there's really no way to explain it at that time. Fortunately, it didn't turn out to be a disaster in the end.

Originally, the child's mother sincerely apologized for this matter. I believe that Su Yue will not hold on to a child without mercy. As a result, the child's mother is unreasonable and only blindly protects the child, which is how it is now. .

This child was spoiled and spoiled by his grandfather and grandmother, so he did his best to take the child back from his grandfather's house. If he didn't take it back, he would be abandoned. But how could he have thought that he would cause such a big thing on the first day he was brought back! Really pissed him off.

Feng Junwei was so angry that he slapped his son again and shouted, "Apologize soon!"

Feng Zitao was staggered and wanted to cry again, but he was afraid that his father would beat him again, so he reluctantly said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry."

Su Yue could see that Feng Junwei was sincerely apologizing, and the child was beaten and the child came to apologize. What else could she and Han Aiguo say now? Is it difficult to catch people and children and scold or beat them

Su Yue had no choice but to wave her hand and said, "Captain Feng, this matter will be over today, but in the future, I have to talk to the child well and stop playing marbles on the stairs. It's too dangerous."

"Definitely!" Feng Junwei hurriedly assured, "I have already educated him, this stinky boy will never dare to play with these things on the stairs again, if he dares to do this again in the future, I will break his legs."

Su Yue no longer pursued it, and let Feng Junwei take the child home.

Han Aiguo didn't speak from the beginning to the end, Su Yue could tell that he was still angry.

She touched his face and coaxed him: "Okay, don't be angry, I'll be more careful next time, it won't happen again, you see I'm fine now, just smile~"

Han Aiguo couldn't laugh, he was still holding on tightly in his heart, and he couldn't relax when he thought of the danger she almost faced just now.

Su Yue raised her head and kissed his Adam's apple, "Aiya, you're going to scare the baby with a sullen face, and the baby's mother is also scared. Why don't you laugh~"

Han Aiguo twitched the corners of his mouth, finally showing an ugly smile. But in the end, he was uneasy, so he put her down, covered her with a quilt, and said that he was going to the head of the regiment and asked Xu Can to come over and show her.

Su Yue knew that she wouldn't be at ease if she didn't let the doctor see him, so she didn't stop him and let him go.

After a while, Han Aiguo brought Xu Can over.

Xu Can took Su Yue's pulse, checked it carefully, and said, "The child is fine, but he is shocked, so he has no strength. It's fine to rest for two days, don't worry."

Hearing what she said, Han Aiguo was completely relieved, and his face was not as ugly as before. He went out to make dinner and let the two women talk.

Xu Can said: "I just heard about it, it's really too thrilling. Next time you walk, you have to look at the road. There are many children in this compound, and many of them are very skinny. You may not know where to play next time. As for Zhu, it is hard to prevent, you still have to be careful yourself, pregnant women can't make jokes."

Su Yue also tasted the power this time, and nodded with a lingering fear, "I know now, this time I was too careless, and I didn't know how to pay attention to my feet. Fortunately, I'm fine. Next time I will definitely pay more attention to my feet."

"Just be careful, don't be too nervous. Look, I brought you something good." Xu Can said, showing Su Yue the canning bottle he brought with him, "My mother marinated it herself. Sour plums are especially salutary and appetizing, so they are very suitable for pregnant women who have no appetite to eat.

The cans were filled with sour plums. Su Yue immediately unscrewed the bottle cap and took out one of them to taste. As soon as she entered her mouth, she felt sweet and sour, especially delicious.

This is another thing that makes her feel particularly delicious besides the sour radish, and it is not nauseating at all.

Su Yue couldn't help but took another one and stuffed it into her mouth, eating with relish, her eyes narrowed with happiness.

Xu Can watched her eat one bite after another, her eyes narrowed involuntarily, and she felt as if her teeth were about to be sour. The pregnant woman really had an abnormal appetite, and she could eat sour.

Su Yue ate a dozen or so in a row before closing the bottle cap reluctantly, "Thank you, Sister Xu Can, this is really delicious, and thank you auntie for me."

Xu Can waved his hand and suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of my mother, I would like to ask you a favor, it will be my mother's 50th birthday in a few days, and our family plans to give her a little birthday, and I don't either. I know what to bring on the day I go back. My mother also has the money. My mother also has some canned snacks. But last time, I brought some of the cakes and snacks you gave me back to my mother, and she was very happy. Even said it was delicious. Otherwise, sister, you can help me make some more, and I will bring some pastries back home. "

Su Yue thought about it for a while but said, "Auntie's birthday, it's not good for you to bring some snacks back home. You have to have a mind. Otherwise, I'll make you a birthday cake and you can bring it to your auntie for her birthday."

"Birthday cake?" Xu Can hadn't eaten this, so he couldn't help but wonder, "What is a birthday cake? What is it?"

In this era, cream cakes are not as popular as later generations in China. It is estimated that the top talents have eaten foreign cream cakes, and even fewer people have seen things like birthday cakes. No wonder Xu Can does not know.

Su Yue explained to her in detail: "Birthday cake is a kind of cream cake, round, one is as big as a face plate, and the cake is topped with cream. When you celebrate your birthday, cut it and let everyone taste it together. The purpose is to celebrate others. Birthday. That's why it's called a birthday cake."

Xu Can's eyes lit up, and he was so curious that he could not wait to taste it immediately, "That must be delicious, right?"

Su Yue nodded, "It's really delicious, especially women and children like it." It's easy to gain weight, and girls don't dare to eat easily, but for people in this era of lack of food and drink, there is no need to worry about this. , People here are eager to get fat.

"That's it!" Xu Can immediately put his hands together in a plea, "Then Su Yue, please help me make one, please~"

"Okay." Su Yue agreed in one bite, "I'll make it for you the day after tomorrow. The cake can't be kept for a long time. It's better to eat fresh."

Xu Can hurriedly went to take out his pocket, took out all the food stamps and money from his pocket, a total of three catties of food stamps, one catty of non-staple food stamps and three yuan, and stuffed them into Su Yue, "I'm just a girl. I don't know if it's enough. Don't be embarrassed to say it. I'll bring it to you at home. I know that making that cake costs white flour and white sugar.

"Enough is enough, that's all." Su Yue accepted the money and food stamps, and did not say that they would not accept them. After all, times have changed. She will definitely give them generously and directly in future generations, but in this era , a cake also needs a lot of flour, eggs, sugar, oil and other materials. These things are all good things. The key is to limit the amount. Just making one may give them all the food stamps in their hands this month. If you use it, if you don't accept it, she and Han Aiguo will have to eat coarse grains and drink porridge every day.

——

Su Yue rested at home for two days and her body was fine, and she continued to live and dance. Then she started to make cakes for Xu Can.

At this time, there is no oven and ready-made materials. If you want to make cakes, it is all by hand, especially for cream. Come out, and then adjust the taste of the cream little by little, adding a lot of ingredients to make the taste almost the same.

In the past, a cake was made in a short time, but now it takes a whole day to make it, but the hard work pays off. The cakes made are similar to modern ones, and the taste is only a little worse. After Su Yue tasted it herself It still feels delicious.

Su Yue made a birthday peach with cream on top of the cake to express her birthday wishes, and then wrote with red jam: Happy birthday to Ms. Jiang!

Xu Can's mother's surname is Jiang.

When the cake is ready, I can’t just take it away, I have to pack it, but there is no special cake packaging box, so I put the cake in a cardboard box about the same size at home, and put the lid on it. It doesn't look good, but it doesn't work.

Xu Can brought Nini over to get the cake the next day. When Su Yue opened the cardboard box to show her, she couldn't help but "wow" like a child, "It's so beautiful, and it smells so good. Ah, I want to eat it now."

Nini also stood on tiptoe and stretched her head to look in, sniffing hard, "Mom, I want to eat cake."

Xu Can quickly closed the box, lest his daughter be too greedy, so he comforted the little girl and said, "I can't eat it now, I'm going to take it to my grandma's house to eat. I'll give you a big piece then, okay?"

Nini lowered her face regretfully, but her eyes kept glancing at the cake.

Xu Can couldn't help but ask Su Yue: "Su Yue, are the tickets and money I gave you really enough? Why do I feel like it's not enough? This cake is so big and delicious, it must have cost a lot of things. You can't post it backwards, then I'm ashamed."

"Enough is enough, you only gave me more or less. Don't look at how big this cake is. In fact, the cake inside is very fluffy and doesn't use as much flour as you think." Su Yue was telling the truth, Xu Can gave a lot of tickets and money. She made a small profit. Han Aiguo only issued a limited number of tickets each month. It's time to live frugally, but with the votes from Xu Can, it's a lot better.

Hearing what she said, Xu Can took Nini away happily. She felt that her mother would definitely like this present.

In the evening, Xu Can happily came to Su Yue, and when he saw Su Yue, he said cheerfully: "Su Yue, let me tell you, today's cake is so delicious, no one who eats it doesn't give a thumbs up. , the children who came today are not enough to eat a piece, and they still have to eat one by one, and as a result, there is not a single piece of cake left."

Xu Can said with a bit of regret, "I originally planned to keep some, but the people who came here ate them all. Seeing that there was no cake left, Nini was so greedy that she was crying, and she even shouted that she was celebrating her birthday. I want a birthday cake."

Su Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make another one for Nini when she has her birthday."

Xu Can: "Then this little girl is probably going crazy with anticipation. Now she has to count the days at home every day and wait for her birthday."

After saying this, Xu Can smiled, leaned slightly closer to Su Yue, and whispered, "Today, a relative of my family likes to eat your cake, and asked me where I bought it, and I said that a neighbor helped me make it. Yes. After he heard it, he said that one of his elders would have a birthday in a few days, so I asked if you could help him make one too, and he was willing to give food stamps and money."

When Su Yue heard this, she was very moved, but she was a little hesitant, "This... won't be said by anyone, right?" Does it count as speculation

Xu Can knew what she was worried about, shook his head and said, "No, you won't tell me or the person who bought it if you pass my hand, and even if others know about it, it's nothing, it's just food stamps and food stamps. The money is just for you to do it for you, it’s just a favor among friends, and it’s not like selling things, and others can’t get hold of it.”

Hearing Xu Can say this, Su Yue was relieved. After all, Xu Can was also involved in it. With the status of Xu Can's family, she said it was all right.

Since Su Yue agreed, and now there is no way to do business, it is just in this way to earn some food stamps and money to supplement the family. Otherwise, in terms of the monthly bills issued by Han Aiguo, it is really not enough. You have to eat coarse grains, and coarse grains can't fill your stomach.

Xu Can didn't want Su Yue to suffer, so he said, "I told my relative to ask him to give you three catties of food stamps and one catty of non-staple food stamps, and another five yuan. Do you see enough? If not enough. I'll let him add it."

Su Yue nodded, "Enough is enough, that's all. When does he want it? I'll make it for you a day in advance."

"He wants it in five days, when you give it to me, he comes to me to get it."

"Okay, then I'll go to the supply and marketing agency tomorrow to buy some flour, egg meringues or something, and I'll have nothing at home."

"You are pregnant, don't go out and run, if you hurt the child, it will be bad, tell me what you want, and I will bring it to you from the commune. Anyway, I have to go to the commune to work every day, and it's easy. "

Since she said so, Su Yue also wrote down what she needed and gave it to her to bring it back.

Through this incident, Su Yue found another way to make money. Although she can't make food and sell it, she can do it at home. Asking people to give out food stamps and money is equivalent to helping them process it. Externally, it can be said to give Friends help to cook, so you can make money without worrying about being reported by some people as speculation, the best of both worlds.

Moreover, she only needs to do it at home, and it also avoids the fatigue of going out, which is quite suitable for her.

Because of this, Su Yue is more and more careful in making cakes, trying her best to make the cake taste the best, and make the cake look better. Only when it tastes good and looks good will people like it and come here. Ask her to make cakes to order, and when the time comes, her business will not worry about it.

She figured it out. For one cake, she could earn four yuan for two catties of food stamps. Even if she only made five cakes a month, she could earn twenty yuan for ten catties of food stamps. Now she works all day in the city. A worker can only earn 30 yuan a month. She can only make five cakes at home, which is very satisfying to her.

Because Su Yue made the taste of the cake very delicious, the fragrance wafted out along the crack of the window and door, and everyone who smelled it swallowed. The first thing they smelled was Fang Xiaoli's house next door.

Fang Xiaoli's son Feng Zitao smelled the smell at home, and he didn't even want to play. He kept sniffing to find where the smell was, but when he found it, he found the door of Su Yue's house. Fragrance, finally determined that the tempting fragrance is from this house.

He immediately ran home, hugged his fucking thigh and started to ask for something delicious, "Mom, I want something delicious, you go and get it for me."

Fang Xiaoli: "What do you want to eat, I'll bring it to you from the supply and marketing cooperative."

Feng Zitao pointed to the door and said, "I want to eat the food made by the restaurant next door. His house is delicious, and his house must be making delicious food. Mom, go and ask me for some."

When Fang Xiaoli heard that she was next door, she thought that she was beaten by her husband just because of Su Yue's own son, and even she was reprimanded by him. Give it to us! Mom will bring you canned food and sugar from the supply and marketing agency tomorrow."

When Feng Zitao heard this, he immediately quit, and immediately sat on the ground and danced around, howling, "No, no, I'm going to eat something made next door, and the canned food doesn't have the incense of his family. Mom, go and give it to me. I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Fang Xiaoli went to pull him up, but was kicked several times by his kicking legs. In the end, she was so angry that she didn't care about him. Anyway, she didn't let go.

She and Su Yue are now in a relationship. How can she pull her face and take the initiative to come to the door to ask for something to eat, then she should not be laughed at by Su Yue.

Feng Zitao was rolling and crying, but he didn't let his mother relax. In the end, he was so angry that he didn't even eat, and he closed the door and did not want to come out, which made Fang Xiaoli feel distressed. .

As a result, this scene was seen by Feng Junwei, who was returning home. He was so angry that he stomped open the door and dragged Feng Zitao out of the room. Despite Fang Xiaoli's obstruction, he beat the boy so hard that he burst into tears. .

Fang Xiaoli was so distressed that she immediately went to work with Feng Junwei. She cried, made trouble, and scolded her. The voice spread to the next door, making Su Yue and Han Aiguo unable to live in peace.
