Gu Yuqi was happily beating eggs in the house. The chickens, ducks and geese she raised were very competitive and laid several large nests of eggs. When she was happy, she thought of trying to bake a chicken cake with eggs.
Anyway, it's raining heavily outside, and it's almost moldy if I stay in the house. On a whim, she ran to the kitchen and asked Daimei to help her.
She remembered seeing an introduction on Weibo about using a pan instead of an oven to bake cakes before time travel. At that time, she was a foodie, and the food was the biggest in the world, so she followed a lot of gourmets on Weibo. There is a microblog that releases the recipe of the same delicacy almost every few days. Gu Yuqi will take a look at it, and then find someone to cook it for her, or learn to cook it by herself.
Cakes are too common in modern times, and there are beautifully decorated cake shops all over the streets, so she doesn't need to do it herself, but when she saw that Weibo, she felt drunk to be able to make cakes without an oven. So I glanced twice more, and I remembered this glance.
She brought out fresh eggs and separated the yolks from the whites. Break up the egg yolk, add some honey, sugar, and a little salt, mix well, and add some soybean oil. But there is no butter in this era, so soybean oil can only be used instead, and then flour is added. It's a pity that there is no low-gluten flour in this era, so ordinary flour can only be used to make do... Gu Yuqi deeply felt the helplessness of ancient times. Chi? Brother Zhuang.
She added a little white vinegar to the egg whites. Then she started beating egg whites with rounded arms. Without a mixer, she could only act as a human flesh mixer. Fortunately, she has practiced martial arts for many years, so beating egg whites is a trivial job for her now. up the bubbles. Add the first part of white sugar, then continue beating, add the second part of white sugar when it becomes thick, and add until three parts of the white sugar, the egg white is knocked out to form a sticky paste, use chopsticks to dip a little egg liquid into it When an obvious horoscope is drawn on the surface, and the basin is turned over and will not flow down immediately, the meringue is ready.
Gu Yuqi hummed a ditty, mixed the two ingredients together, and then asked Daimei to help her heat the pot with a low heat. Daimei is a skillful cook, first-class in cooking, and very good at controlling the heat, so Gu Yuqi needed her to help , although she can also cook, but when it comes to dealing with this kind of ancient earthen stove, her eyes are smeared.
She put a clean oil paper on the bottom of the pot, poured the flour paste she had mixed in, and carefully smoothed the paste with a spatula. It's a pity that there were no frying pans in ancient times, but this kind of large round pan is fine if the heat is well controlled.
At this time, it depends on Daimei's ability. With Gu Yuqi's confession, Daimei concentrated on the fire in the stove, and the light of the fire made her little face flush.
Compared to Daimei's concentration, Gu Yuqi looked very relaxed now. She leaned against the stove, humming and singing, not to mention how relaxed she was.
Not long after, there was a smell of cakes from the pot. Gu Yuqi hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot, covered it with oiled paper, and turned over the cakes in the pot one by one.
Daimei's fire control is perfect, although it is a round bottom pan, the cake is very military, yellow and clear. It looks delicious...
The aroma of the cake attracted Bai Fu, and Bai Fu called Run Ying and Chun Xing, one by one, before the cake was baked, the kitchen was full of maids watching the fun, and finally gave Liang Huaiyu attracted.
"Mother is here by coincidence." Gu Yuqi saw Liang Huaiyu coming, and said with a smile, "Look how lucky you are, you will have something to eat as soon as you come." After she finished speaking, she lifted the lid of the pot, and a huge one The cake was plump and yellow, appearing in front of everyone's eyes, emitting a tempting aroma after another.
"What is this?" Liang Huaiyu asked with a smile. She was used to her daughter's whimsy, so it was not surprising.
"This is called a cake." Gu Yuqi smiled proudly, and she asked everyone to help take the cake out of the pot, and put it on a clean large plate.
Not bad, although it is made of ordinary flour, it is not as fluffy as low-gluten flour, but in the ancient times when the conditions were simple and the materials were insufficient, it is not bad to be able to make it like this.
Gu Yuqi cut a bit with a knife and tasted it, she was so moved that she almost shed tears, this is the taste, after so many years, she traveled through a lifetime, was reborn in the first lifetime, and tasted the familiar things again after three lifetimes.
"It won't be so bad that you want to cry..." Liang Huaiyu couldn't help but joked after watching her daughter take a sip, she looked stupid and ready to cry. After taking a sip, her eyes lit up, "It's really delicious! Why did you come out with a bitter face?" She couldn't help asking, the cake had a strong aroma of eggs and honey, and it was soft in the mouth , It’s really as delicious as it is, Liang Huaiyu, who likes to eat sweets, couldn’t help breaking another piece into his mouth.
"It's so delicious that you want to cry, it's so delicious that you cry!" Gu Yuqi hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a disguised manner.
When she said this, everyone in the kitchen laughed, and the maids were eager to taste the deliciousness of the masters' food, but the two masters didn't speak, so they didn't dare to take it.
"Come on, try them all." Liang Huaiyu saw that the maids were staring at their mother and daughter eagerly, so she said with a smile.
"Miss Xie!" Everyone cheered and cut the cake with knives. Sure enough, the expressions of each one were distorted and sweet. It was so colorful, how could it be so delicious. Where did the little lady learn it from!
Just when everyone was expressing their praises, Zhang Lan came to the kitchen holding an umbrella.
"Look, it's said that cats have sharp noses. Zhang Lan's nose is probably sharper than cats'. You can smell it in the front yard." Runying said jokingly.
"Runying, don't talk about this useless." Zhang Lan didn't have the heart to accept Runying's words. He put away his umbrella and walked in with a solemn expression, "Miss, Miss, there is a team of people outside , The person who came to call the door is said to be the governor of Jiangxia City. He asked the owner here to go out to greet him by name, saying that it was a distinguished guest from Beijing."
As soon as Zhang Lan's words fell, Gu Yuqi's heart sank. She subconsciously felt that the honored guest in Beijing that the county guard was talking about was probably Yun Ke who was lingering.
Gu Yuqi was not the only one whose heart sank, the faces of all the people present darkened.
"Miss, miss, let's..." Chun Xing was the first to ask.
Before she finished speaking, Liang Huaiyu raised her hand to stop her, "Just wait for me to go out and have a look. You guys prepare later." She didn't say anything, but these maids have been following their mother and daughter for so long, naturally It is of the same mind.
When Liang Huaiyu said preparation, he was naturally ready to leave here at any time.
It's just that it's windy and rainy outside, and there are refugees, even if they leave, where can they go
The hearts of many maids were dark, but Gu Yuqi was relatively calm.
She had known for a long time that she could not hide from Yun Ke. When the heavy rain left her in Jiangxia City, she was already mentally prepared that Yun Ke would come sooner or later, but now that the plague has not yet broken out, Yun Ke came a little earlier A little bit.
"Mother, be careful in everything." She just told Liang Huaiyu.
"Well, you can rest assured." Liang Huaiyu smiled and patted Gu Yuqi's hand, and then let Zhang Lan accompany her to the front yard with an umbrella.
Everyone was no longer in the mood to eat cakes. They all went back to their rooms and started packing things quickly.
Everyone has lived in this yard for a period of time, and the hearts of the maidservants are really heavy. Everyone managed to manage this place into the current situation, and they did not expect to leave so soon. But no one complained, each of them knew that their rise and fall were inseparable from Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi.
Liang Huaiyu went through several doors and came to the front yard. The door was fully opened. There were two handsome young men sitting in the hall. One was wearing white clothes with a pale complexion and a sickly appearance, and the other was wearing a pair of The drenched armor, although soaked all over, did not hinder his heroic temperament in the slightest.
"Little lady has seen some nobles." Liang Huaiyu recognized at a glance that the man in white with a sick face was An Wang Yunke. He was shocked from the bottom of his heart, but he still calmly went forward to salute.
When the sheriff saw Liang Huaiyu approaching, he felt his eyes go straight.
When did such a beautiful and temperamental lady come to Jiangxia City
She was wearing a light blue long dress with a slightly darker blue shawl. Her long, soft, jet-black hair did not pull any complicated hair accessories, but simply pulled two hairs behind her head. There is a bun, and an ebony hairpin is pinned next to her hair, and a silver drop of water hangs from the bottom of the hairpin. There is a pair of pearl earrings next to her ears, the white pearls are round and bright, and her ear beads are very soft and soft, reflecting the soft white light under the lamplight. Her eyebrows are beautiful and moving, and her eyes are shining with a faint starlight.
Her voice was like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, and her demeanor was even more elegant. Although her attire is not gorgeous at all, people can immediately think that she is a young lady from a rich family.
What surprised the sheriff even more was that he couldn't tell the woman's age.
"Madam, what's your name?" Seeing that she was dressed as a woman, the county guard couldn't help asking before the two princes.
Seeing the sheriff staring at her all the time, Liang Huaiyu was very displeased, but she still said politely, "This lord can call the little lady Liang."
"Hello Madam Liang." The Sheriff smiled. "My humble servant is the sheriff of Jiangxia City. This is His Royal Highness King Ding who is stationed in Jiangbei Camp. This is His Royal Highness King An who came to rescue the disaster in Beijing. His Highness King An will stay here for a few days. Li Garden is one of the four famous gardens in our Jiangxia City, so I want to borrow Madam's treasured land to live here, I don't know what Madam would like?"
He originally wanted to wait for the owner to show up, then drive him out of the garden and let His Royal Highness King An live here, but when he saw Liang Huaiyu's appearance, he changed his tone in an instant.
Liang Huaiyu couldn't help frowning, but now there was nothing she could do. How could she want Yunke to live here? He was the reason why she and Gu Yuqi fled the capital, okay? Who knew that I could hide past the first day of the junior high school, but not the fifteenth day, so I met here.
How can there be such a coincidence in this world that His Royal Highness King An served as an imperial envoy to provide disaster relief, and when he arrived in Jiangxia City, he did not live in the Sheriff's Mansion, but went to live in a private house, really just because this is one of the four famous gardens in Jiangxia City? I'm afraid that His Highness Wang An insisted on living here because of Gu Yuqi.
