In the previous life, Tian Minyan was not a person who would feel sorry for herself, nor was she someone who would follow one path to the end. If this road failed, she would decisively change direction.
So when the plan to sell mulberry fruits for money failed, Tian Minyan quickly put away her depressed mood and took another path.
In order to inspect the market, Tian Minyan went to town several times, and even rushed out a jewelry drawing for a new plan, and took the opportunity to chat with shopkeeper Qin for a long time.
The most famous dim sum shop in town is Lian Xiang Lou. A set of exquisite eight-piece dim sum boxes there costs one or two silver. The varieties of dim sum inside are different. The boxing is generally luxurious, and it is very decent to give as a gift.
Thanks to Shopkeeper Qin, she also tasted those kinds of pastries. Although they were all very ordinary pastries, they tasted really good. Moreover, Lianxiang Tower is a century-old shop, so it would not be expensive to box up a high-quality product for just one tael of silver.
It's quite expensive.
If you want to compete for the same kind of dim sum with a century-old store, then unless you have a big backend that can monopolize this business, a small farm girl, no matter how smart she is, will not be able to compete with a century-old store that has been established for a long time.
.
Of course, Tian Minyan would not be stupid enough to do something that she was not proficient in, but there is a saying in the Time Travel Book that as a time traveler, you have one more advantage than the ancients, that is, you know things that are more developed and more refined than those of the old era.
She doesn't know how to make dim sum of this era, so she knows how to make modern dim sum, right?
In her previous life, Tian Minyan was a person who was very worthy of herself. No matter how busy she was at work, she would never forget to reward herself and enjoy life. Therefore, in her free time, she liked to drive around in search of delicious food. When she got home, she would try to make her own snacks and cakes. Of course she
I also learned a lot.
When the family was divided, Sanfang also received next spring's grain, including 300 kilograms of soybeans, which were all new grain harvested last autumn.
Tian Minyan weighed five kilograms of big soybeans and soaked them in well water. She took Tian Minrui to the town and bought all the ingredients for making a cake. In the afternoon, when everyone was about to rest, she started to make her cake.
Smooth sailing can obviously only appear in novels. Only when she came to this world did she realize how serious the reality was. Just like the Sangguo incident, she had never known that a person could be so unreasonable and unreasonable.
"If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you, a stinky girl, will waste food. Ah, Yaoshou, how many eggs are these?" Mrs. Jiang stared at her triangular eyes and stood at the door of the kitchen and pointed.
Tian Minyan, who was busy breaking eggs to separate the egg whites in the kitchen, got scolded.
"Mom, I bought these eggs from the town, I definitely didn't put them in the jar. Besides, didn't you sell all the eggs in the jar to Aunt Dong's house?" Tian Minyan put down the big bowl in her hand and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He turned around and retorted: "Besides, I didn't waste anything. All this is of great use."
She scolded her for as long as she messed with the eggs, wasn't her mouth tired?
"Oh, my wings are strong, and I have learned to talk back to you." Jiang took two steps closer. His small stature was almost the same as that of the tall and thin Tian Minyan. His saliva sprayed directly onto Tian Minyan's face, and he cursed: "
How could you, a prodigal thing, have given birth to a prodigal thing like you, who wastes things like this?"
"That's right, even though we are separated, there is no niece like you who wastes good things. Second aunt is very weak these days, why don't you steam it for me to eat." Mrs. Li stood at the door of the kitchen and added coolly, her eyes
Keep looking at the eggs and egg whites separated in the two bowls.
Since the separation, Jiang has become even more stingy. Because she is going to Henghe, Jiang has sold all the eggs in the earthen pots where eggs are stored. These days, there is not even a piece of meat in her meals. She has not touched it for a long time.
Too meaty.
Now Tian Minyan bought so many eggs, but she didn't know what she was doing. She only separated the egg whites and egg yolks, and she didn't see any steaming.
But how do these three families have enough money to buy eggs?
"Okay, I can't cure you, so I don't believe it. I can't cure you either." Mrs. Jiang saw that she was angry, but Tian Minyan ignored her. She was so angry that she walked out angrily.
After a while, Tian Minyan heard her yelling in the west wing, and then heard Tian Huairen's persuasive explanation, and then heard Mr. Tian's deep lecture voice, and soon it became quiet.
"Second Aunt, don't you have back pain? Why don't you go and rest." Tian Minyan glanced at Mrs. Li and said lightly.
Mrs. Li curled her lips, snorted, turned around and walked away.
Finally clean, Tian Minyan breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the big bowl again to stir the separated egg whites.
In modern times, cakes are very easy to make. A rice cooker can bake a cake, and the ingredients are also very simple.
She added a pinch of salt to the half-beaten egg whites, and then added sugar and a few drops of vinegar. She concentrated on beating the egg whites until she finished adding the sugar three times.
He inserted the chopsticks on it and stopped when he saw that the chopsticks would not fall down. Then, he quickly added sugar to the separated egg yolks and stirred them into a light yellow egg yolk paste.
There was also a bag of purchased fine white flour on the stove. Tian Minyan mixed half of the egg whites and egg yolks, then slowly sifted in the flour and stirred thoroughly. After putting all the flour in two small bowls and stirring, she used her hands to start from the bottom.
Drain and stir evenly, then pour in the remaining egg white and stir again until it becomes a paste.
Tian Minyan didn't have a rice cooker, but only found a small old copper basin. It was said that it was Luo's original dowry, but Jiang took it away under the pretext.
After washing the copper basin thoroughly, put it on the stove to heat it up a little, then poured some oil over the copper plate, then poured the batter in and smoothed it out.
Since there was no oven for baking, Tian Minyan's idea was to steam. After boiling the water in a large pot, he placed a wooden rack for steaming vegetables, then carefully placed the copper plate with the batter on it and closed the lid.
Tian Minyan was in trouble when it came to how long to steam it. If it wasn't difficult to open the lid to see during the steaming process, she would have really wanted to poke a hole in the lid.
In modern ovens, a cake can be baked in an hour. Tian Minyan calculated how long it would take to burn two sticks of incense with high fire, and then switched to slow fire.
Tian Minyan felt a little drowsy as she controlled the firewood boredly. After another moment of burning the incense, a sweet fragrance came, which shocked her and quickly put out the firewood.
When the firewood went out, she opened the lid of the pot, and the sweet aroma filled her nostrils. She fanned away the steam with her hand, and then she looked around, and saw a round and yellowish cake in front of her eyes. Tian Minyan couldn't help but smile with her eyebrows creasing.
Hey, it’s done!
"It smells good, sister, what does this smell like? Why does it smell so good?" Xiao Wu's voice sounded from behind. Tian Minyan looked over with a smile, and saw him walking in with his nose raised like a puppy, and couldn't help but wave.
Yan said that her head really hurts and she finally had to type it out. There may only be three chapters today. It’s painful~
