Chapter 319 Making Cookies
A few days ago, Xiaocao'er was molested by someone in the Jixiang Restaurant. After this incident, everyone knew about it and was scared when they recalled it. Since then, everyone has secretly made up their minds that no matter what, they will never let Old Lady Yang and Xiaocao'er go out on the street alone again.
"Okay, then let's set off tomorrow! However, let's first think about what we need to purchase. Xiaocao'er, please help grandma make a list. Grandma is old and has a bad memory. It will be troublesome if she misses something important." Old Mrs. Yang instructed Xiaocao'er.
"Okay, grandma, just tell me, I will definitely remember it clearly for you!" Xiao Caoer picked up a pen and paper and prepared to take notes.
So, the two of them started to discuss what they needed to buy, from cakes and snacks to small toys... They carefully considered and thought about everything, fearing that there would be something missing.
In this way, for the next two days, the whole family was busy preparing various items to be brought back to their hometown. When everyone went out to buy things, they were holding large and small, bulging packages in their hands, and their faces were filled with satisfied and expectant smiles.
Early that morning, Yun Er was seen carrying a large box on his shoulders, with a few people following him.
Before she even walked into the door, Yun Er's loud voice came in: "Old lady! Little Miss Cao'er! I'm here!"
Hearing the voice, Old Lady Yang waved to Yun Er with a smile on her face and said kindly, "Oh, it's Xiao Er, you're here at the right time, come and have breakfast with us."
Yun Er quickly shook his head, carefully placed the box on his shoulder on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, old lady. I had already eaten when I left this morning." Then, he patted the box beside him and continued: "The things that Miss Xiaocao asked us to make a few days ago have all been completed. I specially sent them here today for Miss Xiaocao to check."
At this moment, Xiao Cao came out of the kitchen carrying a steaming breakfast. She saw Yun Er standing at the door and immediately smiled brightly, saying happily, "Brother Yun Er, good morning! Come and have breakfast with us."
Yun Er also smiled and responded, "Good morning, Miss Cao! I came here after breakfast, so please eat it while it's hot. Wait a moment, let's see if the drawing you drew a few days ago has been perfectly produced according to the requirements.
Oh, and I brought the craftsmen who made the furnace with me, so if there are any changes or adjustments that need to be made, they can make them right there and then." As he spoke, Yun Er bent down, opened the box with a swift movement, and began to take out the items one by one.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yun. You guys sit down first. I'll be there quickly. I'll be back after eating a few bites." Xiao Cao'er said to Yun Er.
After Xiaocaoer finished breakfast, he discussed with a few craftsmen where it would be best to build the stove.
While preparations were being made here, Yun Er ordered people to bring in the materials. When everything was ready, they started.
First, build a stove, put the iron box on the stove, and then wrap the iron box with things on three sides, leaving one side open for easy access. After all these are done, you need to wait for it to dry naturally before you can start trying it.
Butter is needed to make cookies, but there was no such thing as butter in ancient times, so Xiao Caoer had to secretly get it from the mall.
Also taken out were the pre-written steps for making cookies.
Ingredients: Butter, sugar, eggs, flour, salt
Steps: 1. Soften the butter and beat the eggs until fluffy and lighter in color.
2. Add fine sugar in two batches and continue beating until the butter is smooth and the sugar is fully blended.
3. Add the egg liquid in three more batches, stirring evenly each time to allow the butter to fully absorb the egg liquid.
4. Add flour and salt to butter, stir evenly with a spatula until a dough without any dry powder is formed.
5. Put the dough into the bag and cut a flower mouth on one corner of the bag.
6. Pipe out flower shapes on the baking tray, leaving some space between each cookie.
7. Place the cookies in the middle layer of the oven preheated to a certain temperature and bake for a quarter of an hour until the surface of the cookies is golden and the edges are colored.
The most difficult part of making these cookies is beating the eggs. There were no egg beaters in ancient times, so one had to rely on hands. Fortunately, Yun Er was here, otherwise, even if Xiao Cao'er used his hands, he would not be able to beat the eggs into liquid for making cookies.
