Chapter 484: Making Orange Cake

“As for new flavors of snacks, I have recently reached the bottleneck period you mentioned, and I have been unable to research new flavors.”

“It’s just a good time that you’re back this time, why don’t you give me some pointers?”

Sister Ying smiled and said, "Okay. I'll teach you something new this time. Let's try some orange cake."

Mei Xian'er was surprised, "Orange cake?"

 “Are you adding oranges to the snacks?”

Sister Ying nodded, "But this time, the cake needs to be softer, and the oranges need to be selected better, so that the flavor can be overflowing."

Mei Xianer wanted to try the results after hearing this, so she immediately pulled Sister Ying up and asked her to teach her.

 “Shall we go try it?”

Sister Ying looked at Jing Shirong's side and saw them chopping ribs. She told him and then went to the pastry shop next door with Mei Xian'er.

Sister Yang also followed her.

 The three of them went to the pastry shop, and Sister Ying asked Mei Xianer to prepare eggs and flour. Cut an orange into pieces too.

Sister Ying first cut the orange in half, then squeezed out the orange juice and set it aside.

 Then sift and shake the flour, then add a spoonful of hot rice corn oil, then pour in the orange juice and stir together.

 Finally, beat a few eggs, add the egg yolks to the batter first, and stir until smooth.

As for egg whites, Sister Ying also invented an egg beater for Mei Xianer, which is very easy to use. It's just more labor-intensive.

Mei Xianer took the eggbeater and said very boldly, "I'll do it."

 She beats eggs very quickly, and it seems that she has developed her arm strength by making snacks every day.

 After the egg whites are beaten, slowly add them to the batter and mix evenly.

Just like making a cake, pour the fragrant cake puree into the mold and shake it to release the bubbles.

 After that, you can put the fragrant cake into the baking stone oven studied by Sister Ying.

This stone oven was something she had thought about for a long time before successfully experimenting with it.

 The inner structure can be kept warm for a long time. Put the fragrant cake in and it will be ready in a short time.

The sweet scent of oranges suddenly filled the whole shop. The customers outside the door were attracted by the scent and asked, "What kind of delicious snacks has your boss come up with?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Maybe he is researching new products."

Mei Xianer spends most of her time in the store researching new flavors of dim sum.

 But this time the snacks seemed to be a little extra sweet, just like the hands of a different boss for the first time.

Out of curiosity, the shopkeeper went to the backyard to take a look. When he saw Sister Ying, he immediately understood.

 “Boss? Are you back?”

Sister Ying gestured "Shh~" to her and told her, "I'm just stopping by and I'll leave tomorrow. Don't make any noise."

 The shopkeeper nodded, he was very discerning. "I know, then you are busy."

Not to mention the shopkeeper, even Mei Xianer's mouth will water when she smells this orange-scented cake.

“Sister Ying, your craftsmanship is really good.”

Sister Ying smiled modestly, "I'm not very good at cooking. I can only say that I have a little talent for cooking. Plus I like to study western Zhejiang, so if I'm willing to spend time studying it, I'll naturally be good at it."

Mei Xianer was very encouraging after hearing this, and followed her example, "Okay, I will try dim sum from other places in the future, and then I will be able to make new flavors of dim sum."

Sister Ying nodded and asked her before the cake came out of the oven, "Are you willing to accept Kang Ge'er now?"

 “No more hesitation?

  When she went to the capital before, Mei Xianer was not too afraid to accept Kang Geer. Now I dare to do so.

  Mei Xian'er's face turned red when she talked about her sweetheart.

"Actually, I don't hate him at all. I just feel that he is one or two years older than me, and my parents' family is not good. I am afraid of causing trouble to him, so I want to keep a distance from him."

 Otherwise, she also likes Kang Geer, but she just doesn’t have the courage to be with him.

 After all, Kang Geer is going to be the top scholar in the future. Marrying a man whose natal family is torn apart will only tarnish his face.

Sister Ying asked, "Then why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Mei Xianer recalled shyly, "I was already very indifferent to him. But this guy is so shameless that you can't persuade him at all."

"Sometimes I get annoyed by him and I get aggressive with him. But he is just like a normal person and comes when he needs to. He is not afraid of me being angry at all."

Mei Xian'er has never seen such a soft-spoken person. He is also a stinky younger brother, so he is naturally very angry.

 But the person refuses to leave, even if you scold him.

 In the end, Mei Xian'er was defeated and stopped chasing him.

Sister Ying almost died laughing after hearing this.

 She said that Kang Ge'er has a proactive and lively personality, which is just right for Mei Xian'er, who is a man of few words.

Mei Xian'er also said, "My grandmother also told me this."

What Mrs. Lu means is that Mei Xianer has a cold and withdrawn personality and is not easy to get in touch with.

If her future husband-in-law is active and enthusiastic, the two of them can gradually complement each other, talk and laugh together, and live happily.

 Otherwise, find someone who is equally taciturn.

The days are boring to death.

Sister Ying agrees with this point, "Every time our brother Kang meets someone he knows, he will chatter a lot. He will keep you company. Not to mention being taciturn, he will make your ears tired with his chatter."

Mei Xian'er experienced this and couldn't help laughing, "He just loves to talk, and he doesn't have any bad intentions. He can't stop talking as soon as he starts talking. It makes my head buzz."

As he spoke, he covered his mouth and laughed.

When Sister Ying saw her smiling so happily, she knew that she and Kang Geer had a good relationship.

She asked, "Do your uncle and the others know about this?"

Mei Xian'er nodded shyly, "I know. I mentioned this to them myself."

 Originally, Kang Geer wanted to wait until he became famous before coming to the Lu family to propose marriage.

 But Mei Xian'er feels that he will be a reliable man in the future and have a good family atmosphere.

If you get married to him in the future, it will definitely be a hundred times better than other wives.

 After all, she has been in contact with both Wu and Liang Jin, and they are both very good elders.

If you can marry into such a happy family, your daughter-in-law will definitely have a good life in the future.

Moreover, since Aunt Wu opens her own shop, she will definitely be allowed to continue to open a shop outside.

 So this matter is very suitable after thinking about it.

Mrs. Wu wanted to give her some dignity, and planned to wait until Kang Ge'er came back to be a Jinshi before going to the Lu family to propose marriage, so that Mei Xian'er's uncle and aunt would feel more at ease.

 For this wish, Kang Geer got up before dawn every day to study. I'll take some time to practice martial arts in the afternoon, and continue studying hard in the evening.

Like this moment, after he chopped the firewood, he immediately ran back to the house, circled all the things he didn't understand in the book, and asked Jing Shirong.

Jing Shirong was also patient and answered him one by one.

Qi Yuanming doesn't like to listen to books. He feels like sleeping when he listens to books, so he might as well go over to find Sister Ying and the others.

 He came to the snack shop and saw Sister Ying and the others gathered together, chatting lively, so he wanted to join in. "What are you doing?"

Sister Yang shrugged, funny and helpless, "What else can we do? Let's chat."

Qi Yuanming came over in a familiar manner, "Can you add me as well?" He said he really liked chatting with people.

Sister Ying smiled and said, "Brother Qi, please sit over here and let's chat together."
