Chapter 313: He is so kind to me!
Soon it was Jian Zhen's birthday, and Jian Yue decided to make a strawberry cake for her.
Walking into the kitchen and putting on an apron, I feel full of anticipation and concentration.
First, place the flour, eggs, granulated sugar and other ingredients on the table one by one.
Carefully crack the eggs into a bowl and separate the egg whites.
Next, hold a pair of chopsticks and stir the egg whites vigorously until they become fluffy like clouds.
At this time, Xiaoyi and Yaoyao staggered into the kitchen.
Their big black eyes were wide open, looking at Jian Yue's busy figure with curiosity.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Xiaoyi asked in a baby voice, full of curiosity.
Yaoyao also nodded vigorously, her eyes fixed on the materials on the table.
Jian Yue was as gentle as water, "My dears, Mommy is making a birthday cake for Auntie. When it's ready, you can have a taste."
When the two children heard this, they danced with excitement.
Xiaoyi immediately started to happily circle around Jian Yue, his little feet making a "clacking" sound on the ground, and he kept saying, "Cake, cake."
Yaoyao stretched out her chubby little hands, wanting to touch the materials.
Jian Yue quickly stopped Yaoyao and said, "Yaoyao, you can't touch this. Mommy will make it for you later."
Yaoyao nodded as if she understood, but her eyes were still fixed on the materials, full of desire.
At this time, Aunt Li came in.
"Madam Second Young Master, I'm here to help."
Jian Yue looked at Aunt Li gratefully and said, "Aunt Li, thank you for your help."
Aunt Li first came to the earthen stove and lit the fire skillfully.
Carefully adjust the size of the firewood to ensure that the oven heats evenly.
When the oven is almost preheated, Jian Yue pours the mixed batter into the mold and shakes it gently a few times to make the batter more even.
Then, she carefully placed the mold into the oven, watching the wood flames licking the outer walls of the oven with some anticipation.
I haven’t made cakes for a long time!
Brother Xiaoyi and Yaoyao stood aside, staring at the oven without blinking.
At the same time, Jian Yue started preparing strawberry jam.
Pick out fresh and juicy strawberries, wash them, remove the stems, cut them into small pieces, and put them into the pot.
Then, Aunt Li added honeycomb coal under the stove to keep the fire stable.
The strawberries in the pot gradually soften as the temperature rises, emitting a rich fruity aroma.
Jian Yue added appropriate amounts of granulated sugar and lemon juice and stirred it constantly with a spoon. The strawberry jam became thicker and the color became brighter.
Brother Xiaoyi and Yaoyao would come over to smell it from time to time.
"Mom, it smells so good."
Yaoyao also nodded, "It smells good, it smells good."
Jian Yue smiled and touched their heads.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of cake and the fragrance of strawberries.
Finally, the cake in the oven becomes golden and crispy.
Jian Yue couldn't wait to open the oven door, and a rich aroma of cake hit her face.
Remove the cake from the pan and let cool on a cooling rack.
Xiaoyi and Yaoyao clapped their hands excitedly and kept circling around the cake.
Jian Yue began to spread strawberry jam and cream.
Use a spoon to spread the strawberry jam evenly on the cake, and then spread a thick layer of cream on it.
Next, carefully place the cut strawberry slices on the cake to form a beautiful pattern.
A delicious strawberry cake is ready.
Xiaoyi and Yaoyao looked at the cake and kept shouting, "Beautiful, beautiful."
In addition to strawberry cake, Jian Yue also prepared a silver and pearl bracelet as a gift.
The bracelet is placed in a beautiful wooden box.
This cheap sister is so nice to me!
So, give it your all!
After preparing the strawberry cake and the silver and pearl bracelet, she took Xiaoyi and Yaoyao and set off on the journey back to her mother's home.
The two children were very excited along the way.
Finally arriving at her mother's house, Jian Yue walked into the yard holding a child in each hand.
When Jian Zhen heard the noise, she immediately came out.
"Sister, you are here!"
Jian Yue smiled and nodded, then handed the prepared gift to Jian Zhen.
Xiaoyi and Yaoyao shouted in their sweet voices: "Happy birthday, auntie!"
Jian Zhen took the gift and was very surprised.
When I opened the gift box containing the bracelet, my surprise was beyond words.
"Sister, this bracelet is so beautiful!" She loved it so much that she held it in her hand and looked at it again and again.
At this time, Wang Chenglan heard the noise and came out.
As soon as she saw her grandson and granddaughter, Wang Chenglan's face immediately lit up.
He walked over quickly, picked up Xiaoyi and Yaoyao, and kissed them again and again.
"Oh, my precious grandchildren are here. Grandma missed you so much."
The two children were also infected by their grandmother's enthusiasm and laughed.
Jian Yue walked into the house silently to see her grandmother.
Coincidentally, Zhang heard the noise and walked out slowly with a cane.
"Grandma, are you feeling better?"
Zhang smiled happily, "It's much more comfortable! Yueyue, come and sit down."
The whole family sat together happily, preparing to celebrate Jane Zhen's birthday.
Jian Yue placed the carefully made strawberry cake in the middle of the table.
When the cake appeared, everyone was stunned.
"This... is this a cake?" Jian Zhen's voice was full of surprise and astonishment.
I have never seen such a beautiful cake, with bright strawberries and white cream.
Wang Chenglan was also amazed, "Yueyue, you are so skillful! This cake is so beautiful."
Holding Xiaoyi and Yaoyao, the two children also looked at the cake excitedly, saying "beautiful" over and over again.
Zhang looked at the cake with a pleased smile on her face, "Yueyue is such an amazing child."
Jiang Lin was also very surprised that his daughter, who had been married for several years, had learned such a good skill.
Jian Yue looked at everyone's reactions and felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Today is Jian Zhen's birthday, let's have some fun together. Come on, Jian Zhen, make a wish."
Jian Zhen was slightly stunned, and finally, under Jian Yue's guidance, she closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently made a wish.
Jane blew out the candle.
Jian Yue picked up the knife and started cutting the cake.
First, he cut the biggest piece for Jian Zhen, and then gave a piece to everyone.
When everyone tasted the cake, they were all overwhelmed by its sweet flavor.
"This cake is so delicious!" Jian Zhen praised as she ate it: "I have never eaten such a delicious egg cake."
Wang Chenglan also nodded and praised, "Yueyue's craftsmanship is really amazing."
Xiaoyi and Yaoyao had cream all over their faces after eating, they looked so cute.
The family was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the birthday when they heard footsteps at the door.
When everyone looked over, they saw Jiang Zeyuan rushing over with a hint of apology on his face.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Jian Zhen quickly called out, "Brother-in-law, come quickly, just in time for cake."
Jiang Zeyuan walked to Jian Yue and gently held her hand.
Jian Yue smiled and handed him a piece of cake.
Jiang Zeyuan took a bite and said, "Mm, it's delicious."
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and the birthday celebration gradually came to an end.
After saying goodbye to her family, Jian Yue took Xiaoyi, Yaoyao, and Jiang Zeyuan and left her mother's home.
Sitting in the car, the two children fell asleep exhausted after a while, probably because they were too tired from playing.
Jiang Zeyuan and Jian Yue habitually shared what happened today.
