Chapter 60 Mother’s Day (Part 1)

The second Saturday in May, according to international practice, tomorrow is Mother's Day. It just so happens that Xing's mother is not at home today because she is working overtime, so Xiaonan plans to team up with her sister to make a cake for Xing's mother as a surprise.

Speaking of which, although Xiaonan still lives at home, she has not had family activities for a long time because she is too busy, and she is quite leisurely on vacation today, not to mention that she is full of energy after sleeping for four hours.

Although her parents have told her more than once because of her scarce sleep time, she really has had enough sleep, but it is really not good to be so high at night and go to family activities, otherwise Star Mom will kill her.

Fortunately, the family is big enough, so it doesn't bother them if she turns on the light and reads sometimes late at night. She just needs to be quiet.

"Sister~ What should I do?" Xiao Nan was separating the egg whites at this time, while her sister looked very interested and always looking for something to do.

"Wait until I finish beating the eggs and let you do your best!" Although my sister is almost in the first grade of junior high school, it is better for her to do this kind of detailed work by herself.

After all, she had done it many times in her previous life, so she just let her sister learn from it first.

After separating the egg whites, the next step was to make the cake embryo. Xiaonan added milk and corn oil to the bowl and started stirring. However, she saw her sister's pitiful expression and asked her to stir.

After quickly stirring the mixed liquid until it was emulsified, she began to sift low-gluten flour into it. Because what she was going to make today was a cocoa cake embryo, Xiaonan also added cocoa powder to it.

Of course, my sister did all the pouring and stirring. Then I added the egg yolks that had been separated before. I couldn't help but stir evenly.

Add a little lemon juice to the egg white bowl and add fine sugar in three batches. Beat with a machine until it reaches a small curve. Take part of the newly beaten meringue and mix it with the previously separated egg yolk paste. Pour back the remaining meringue again.

Mix well, pour into a mold to knock out the air and place in the oven at 150° for 50 minutes.

"Sister, will there be gold... gold in a few days?" The two sisters were watching TV and chatting. The cake was already being baked, and they also took some time off.

"Pfft, you mean the golden ring solar eclipse..." Xiaonan couldn't hold it in anymore and quickly corrected her sister's pronunciation. Having studied Chinese, she always felt that this was not a good word.

"Yes, gold. Golden ring solar eclipse"

"Pfft" Xiaonan covered her mouth and kept suppressing the smile on her lips.

"What is a golden ring solar eclipse?" the younger sister asked her elder sister with a speechless face, not understanding why her elder sister smiled so happily.

"It's just that the moon blocked the sun, and then the sun was only left with a ring-like shape~" Xiaonan also suppressed her smile and seriously educated her sister on science.

"Did you know? There was also a golden ring solar eclipse at the Battle of Yuanping on Mizushima on November 17, 1183~" Xiaonan continued to educate her sister.

"???" She saw her sister looking at her in confusion. Did she know about the Yuan Ping Hezhan, but in such detail? Are you sure this is not knowledge learned in high school?

"In the end, Ping won the day because of his knowledge of celestial bodies. Knowledge is power. You are too stupid and have no power, so this story tells us that you should study hard." Xiaonan looked at her confused sister and said simply

Summarized it. By the way, it hurt her.
