Chapter 372
Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin greeted the old couple and then went into the house.
"Who is that?"
"I'm Wei Ren, hehe, that boy's brother." Wei Ren grinned as he leaned back on the bed.
Xu Wenyan frowned and looked at Xiaoman: "Is this thing your brother?"
"What is this? Can't you see that I'm such a handsome and heroic man?"
Xu Wenyan rolled up his sleeves and said, “Hey, you have a bad temper, you have shit in your mouth.”
"Damn it, you want to fight me?" Wei Ren raised his chin and said, "I can beat you with my legs.
"Shut up." Xiaoman glared at Wei Ren and pulled Xu Wenyan: "Ignore them, he has a problem with his brain."
Afterwards, Xiaoman told Xu Wenyan what had happened.
Xu Wenyan didn't expect that Wei Ren was the younger brother of Wei Caiwen and Wei Nanchun.
No wonder he was so arrogant when Wang Zeren was around. His elder brother was a businessman and his father was an official.
Wei Nanchun doesn't look like a weak woman. The young master of the Wei family is really arrogant.
"Next time, let Luo Sanyuan beat you up." Xu Wenyan pointed at him and cursed.
But thinking back, I still have to attend Mrs. Wei's birthday party tomorrow, and it would not be good to offend her little grandson like this.
Forget it. If I endure it for a while, I will only get angrier.
"You still know that guy? I'll beat up three of him."
Xu Wenyan was too lazy to say anything more to him: "Let this bastard rest here for one more night. I will go to Wei's mansion tomorrow to send him back."
"No, why does your mouth stink so much? Did you eat shit?"
"Then I'm really sorry. I can't eat you." Seeing that Xiaoman was fine, Xu Wenyan naturally went home with Chen Sanlin.
Wei Ren was also very angry. He originally wanted to use Xu Wenyan's words to rebuke him, but he didn't expect to be sanctioned instead.
Thinking that Xiaoman has to stay with this man for another night, I feel a little sorry for Xiaoman.
"Wife, do you want to kill him on the way?" Chen Sanlin asked.
Xu Wenyan waved his hand: "I met Wang Zeren once when he was still alive. When Guihua Village was burned down, I heard Wang Zeren tell me the whole process.
Maybe it's because this guy is too playful and doesn't know how to manage the refugees in detail, but he definitely doesn't treat them harshly.
This phenomenon is largely related to the soldiers under his command."
As for why that guy started to get angry when he saw me, it should have something to do with Wang Zeren.
After all, Wang Zeren stole the official position that his father had originally intended to pass on to him.
Xu Wenyan has a lot to do today.
He spent the whole morning looking for Xiaoman. After all, it was the cabbage from his own home, and it was raining so heavily outside, so Xu Wenyan set out early in the morning.
Xu Wenyan also thought for a long time before he came up with what to give to the old lady.
He was not as rich as those businessmen, and the few hundred taels in his hand were really nothing in their eyes.
The birthday gift given is definitely worth several hundred taels.
Xu Wenyan didn't want to lose face, so he prepared to make something unique.
Fortunately, I have so many sheep. I can have cake on my birthday.
It just so happens that the business in the store has been slow these days, and the ewes have more milk to use.
"Brother Chen, ask Yuyin to bring back a bucket of goat milk."
After returning home, Xu Wenyan began to work non-stop.
First, prepare two basins, several clean bowls, eggs and flour.
After Chen Sanlin brings back the goat milk, Xu Wenyan can start making it.
If you want to make cream, you have to use butter.
The so-called butter is the fat separated from milk.
Xu Wenyan poured some of the goat milk into the small basin: "Brother Chen, you need to stir the goat milk quickly with the iron spoon."
This is not only a physically demanding job, but also one that tests one's patience.
In modern times, we have egg beaters that can quickly mix the food, but in ancient times, we basically had to rely on manpower.
"it is good."
After Chen Sanlin took over the special iron spoon made by Qian Sen, he began to stir the goat milk quickly.
Looking at the situation, Xu Wenyan thought that he was worthy of being called Brother Chen, full of endless energy.
During this period, Xu Wenyan had to make the cake base and take turns with Chen Sanlin from time to time.
First, you have to separate the egg white from the yolk. This kind of thing requires a lot of skill, but for Xu Wenyan, who has cooked so many times, it is not a difficult task.
There must be no water or oil stains in the two bowls, otherwise it may fail.
Then pour goat milk and corn oil together in a ratio of two to one, and stir with a special spoon until the oil and milk are completely mixed together.
Then pour it into the egg yolks, and then stir, stir continuously.
Then add a small amount of corn starch.
Then you have to start stirring again.
After stirring it evenly, Xu Wenyan found the iron sieve he had obtained from Zhao Shanhe before.
Use a spoon to filter the flour into the paste, then stir it in a Z shape. The flour needs to be added in small amounts and multiple times. This will make the bread dough softer and less granular.
After processing the egg yolks, you have to start processing the egg whites. Add white vinegar, and then it’s the familiar step of stirring like crazy.
Add sugar after foaming. Add the sugar in three times, stirring each time until it becomes soft.
After being beaten like this, Xu Wenyan felt like his wrist was going to be broken.
He trotted out and yelled to the fields below: "Tiger smash!!!"
Chen Sanlin is probably in a tough situation, and Xu Wenyan doesn't want him to get his wrist injured.
Xiaohu came quickly and the two of them took turns stirring the milk.
Xiaohua, Rongrong and other four children were helping Xu Wenyan to light a fire. Everyone was busy working to make the cake.
Then mix the processed egg whites and egg whites together in two batches.
In modern times, Xu Wenyan did this once in a rental house.
At that time, the family bought too much milk, and Xu Wenyan didn't want to waste it, so he made it himself. Since he had a blender, it was relatively simple.
Now that he was making it, Xu Wenyan once again experienced the helplessness of primitive society.
And at this time Xu Wenyan could only use a ceramic mold, brush a layer of oil inside the mold, put it in the fireplace and wait for an hour.
"Brother Xu, what is this?" Xiaohu looked at the yellow thing in the basin in confusion.
Xu Wenyan walked over and took a look. The butter was almost done.
The remaining liquid in the basin is skimmed goat milk, and the solidified lumps are butter.
Then use two egg yolks, corn starch, flour and sugar, pour in hot milk little by little and stir into a paste.
Next, simmer the paste over low heat.
Keep stirring during this time.
When it becomes a thick paste, you can turn off the heat. Let the paste cool down and add butter in three batches.
"Brother Chen, help me."
In the end, he still had to stir it, and Xu Wenyan really felt that his arms and wrists were going to be broken.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Wenyan boiled some Roselle and added a small amount of water and sugar.
You can't just send a white cake for someone's birthday, it's unlucky.
When it turns bright red, pour it in and continue stirring.
"Have a taste."
Xu Wenyan scooped a spoonful for each child.
The dense and silky taste enters the mouth, and the rich milky aroma fills the mouth.
"Wow! Uncle, this is so delicious."
Chen Dong watched the uncles stirring the food for half an hour. After such complicated steps, the food they made was really delicious.
It tasted better than anything he had ever eaten before.
"As long as it tastes good." Xu Wenyan also tasted it. It was made with cow's milk before, but he didn't expect that the cream made with goat's milk would taste stronger.
He distributed some to several children, and let Xiaohu and Chen Sanlin try some.
After a while, the bread dough will be ready.
Xu Wenyan made a standard chiffon cake, which was extremely elastic and soft.
Applying butter is a delicate job. Without a tray, you can only apply it little by little.
Under the bread dough is a wooden board with grooves that can be assembled into a box.
There were no fruits available now, so Xu Wenyan could only add some plants of different colors and decorate with cream.
Although there are some flaws, Xu Wenyan is still very satisfied.
