Chapter 45 Making Chicken Cake

  After dinner, Su Xiu and the younger sister took a shower and went to bed. A person who has worked hard during the day has been exhausted for a long time, and will have to get up early tomorrow to work in the fields. After all, the younger sister is young, and children are energetic during the day, so they should go to bed early at night.

  Su Wen took Su Qing and started to get busy—

   Make chicken cakes.

  I will make it tonight, and I will go to the town to sell it early tomorrow morning with a basket.

   "Can big sister do it?" Su Qing was in a panic, worrying about being arrested for a while, and worrying about not doing well. People in rural areas have never made chicken cakes, so it would be good to make hair cakes during the Chinese New Year. If it fails, it would be a waste of good things.

  Su Qing never knew that her eldest sister would do it, but she dared not say anything if she questioned it.

   Afraid of offending the elder sister, the life at home was finally more stable. If the eldest sister is unhappy, all of them will be sad and suffer together.

  How could Su Wen fail to see what Su Qing was thinking, but she pretended not to see it.

  The seven sisters of the Su family, apart from the original body who had no brains, the other six were too cowardly. Su Qing was full of doubts but dared not ask them. But it's also convenient for her, at least she doesn't have to bother to explain.

   "Don't think about it, I learned it secretly from others. Even if I don't succeed at the first time, I can always learn after trying a few more times. If you don't work hard, you will never succeed."

  Su Qing's heart was shocked by Su Wen's words, tears were shining in her eyes when she looked at Su Wen.

   "Thank you for your hard work, big sister. Don't do such dangerous things in the future. If you can't do it, let me do it." Stealing other people's crafts is a big taboo, and it is normal to be caught and interrupted.

  Su Wen thought she was too lazy to learn! In modern society, there are tutorials on making pastry everywhere, and it doesn't take much trouble at all.

  When she was resting at home, she often made it, and tried it without an oven. There are many methods such as rice cooker, steaming, etc., as long as you master the tricks, you can make a soft and fluffy chicken cake.

   "Come and help me beat the eggs, separate the egg whites from the yolks, and put them in these two basins."

  Su Wen had already prepared the tools for making egg cakes in advance. She even found thin wire, made a vise and twisted a crude egg beater by herself. It's not as easy to use as an electric one, and it's tiring, but Su Wen is already mentally prepared.

  From sieving fine flour, to beating egg whites into foam, and then adding sugar... Su Wen did all the steps according to her own experience. She doesn't have an electronic scale for the kitchen, and she has already simulated the ratio in her mind in advance. Coupled with previous experience, it is not difficult to do it.

   It is time-consuming, and every step cannot be wrong. Without an oven and a rice cooker, she racked her brains to find a way to use an iron pan to try to make an egg cake like an oven.

  If you are lazy, you can steam it directly in the pot, but the taste of the egg cake made in that way is much worse. Finally, I came up with the idea of ​​adding a layer of iron lid to the wooden pot lid, and wrapping it with a thick layer of steamed bun special cloth around it.

  As long as the heat is well controlled, the effect similar to that of an oven can be achieved.

  When Su Wen poured the prepared batter into the iron box that was found temporarily and used it as a mold, after covering the pot and making all the follow-up preparations, she stared at Su Qing to light the fire.

  Fire is too important, too big or too small.

  If the heat is not well controlled, everything will be in vain, and so many eggs, flour and sugar will be wasted.
