Chapter 533 Making Cake

As soon as she turned around, she saw the giant panda walking towards her with a small dumpling in its mouth.

Qiao Ran was surprised. Did the giant panda still decide to give Xiaotuanzi to him?

She stood still and saw the giant panda stop a dozen steps away from her.

Then he put down the small dumpling in his mouth, glanced at Qiao Ran, turned around and left.

Qiao Ran saw that although the giant panda was much better after taking medicine, drinking spiritual spring water, and taking body-building pills, its steps were still a little unsteady, so she advised:

"Hey, your injury hasn't healed yet, don't run around! Just live in that cave. Isn't there such a large bamboo forest here for you to eat bamboo shoots? From now on, I will pick bamboo fungus and dig bamboo shoots here. I won't I’m going to bother you. If you want to see your little cub, come to me and I’ll take it out and show it to you, okay?”

The giant panda turned around when he heard her voice, not knowing whether he understood it or not. After she finished speaking, he turned around and left again.

However, the direction of departure was exactly the cave just now.

Qiao Ran felt relieved, picked up the little dumpling on the ground, and put it back into the nest built for it in the space.

I squeezed another half bowl of goat's milk for it to drink, and then I had some space to continue picking bamboo fungus.

There are so many bamboo fungus in this bamboo forest that it almost feels like there is no end to them.

Qiao Ran no longer worried about destroying the hyphae. Anyway, the basidiospores on the discarded caps would continue to grow into hyphae and then grow bamboo fungi when they fell to the ground.

So she didn't use a knife and directly pulled the bamboo fungus from the ground with one hand. With the other hand, she took off the fungus holder at the bottom of the bamboo fungus and the cap at the top, leaving only the white trunk of the bamboo fungus and put it into the bamboo basket.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After picking and digging bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots so many times, Qiao Ran was now as fast as an assembly line worker. By noon, she had picked two baskets of bamboo fungus and two sacks of bamboo shoots.

She usually puts all these into the space and goes back over the mountains easily.

When we are almost at the foot of the other side of the mountain, we take out the bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots and carry them down the mountain.

Round bamboo and wood are too heavy on the shoulders to carry things, so Qiao Erhe had already made a very useful pole out of elm wood for his eldest niece.

Qiao Ran placed two sacks of bamboo shoots horizontally on the bamboo basket containing bamboo fungus, and directly carried the more than one hundred kilograms of bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus down to the foot of the mountain, where she could work at the foot of the mountain while waiting for her two uncles to arrive. Take the burden and carry it home.

Even though she actually only walked a short distance, her family thought she had toiled back through the mountains carrying two full baskets of bamboo fungus and two sacks of bamboo shoots.

It was difficult for Qiao Ran to explain, so she let them share their pain for her.

As the days passed, those little black ant silkworms grew up and faded day by day, slowly turning into white little silkworms.

The little guys of Qiao's family are very happy this time. They don't have to worry about adults every day. They will take the initiative to go to the foot of the mountain to pick mulberry leaves and feed the silkworms.

But as these little silkworms slowly grow up, the young leaves on the mulberry trees are no longer enough for the little silkworms to eat.

Fortunately, Qiao Ran told them that different mulberry leaves can be picked to feed silkworms at each stage.

The silkworms that have grown into small silkworms can start to eat older mulberry leaves, not the fresh and tender leaves that have just grown out a few days ago.

When the Qiao family came back from working in Devil's Valley, they would pick a bunch of mulberry leaves and feed them to the silkworms.

Even the villagers often help pick some mulberry leaves and bring them to Qiao's tent to see how the silkworm babies that will make them rich are doing.

Just when Qiao Ran was busy preparing to show off her talents and lead the villagers to work hard to get rich.

Her hair extension ceremony is coming soon.

Qiao Ran made the cake in the space one day in advance.

Because we have to make a five-layer cake and a three-layer cake respectively, the amount of work is not small.

Fortunately, the ingredients and materials were available in the space, and she was already very proficient in the steps of making cakes.

In her previous life, Qiao Ran knew that most of the butter on the market was unhealthy, so she used homemade butter every time she made cakes and breads.

As long as you have milk, sugar, and choose one of three options: butter, gelatine, and cornstarch, you can make your own healthy butter.

She had made the cream a few days ago. Today she was going to make the cake base and shape it, decorate it with cream flowers and fruits, and decorate the cake.

There is no need to put the finished cake in the refrigerator. The space courtyard has its own freshness preservation function. The cake will still be as fresh as before after a day or two after it is made.

Adding five layers to three layers means making eight cake bases.

乔苒决定了，姥姥的五层大蛋糕就分别用16寸、14寸、12寸、10寸、8寸的蛋糕坯。

For my three-layer cake, I use 16-inch, 12-inch, and 8-inch cake bases.

如此，她分别要做16寸、12寸、8寸蛋糕坯各两个，14寸和10寸的各一个。

After making the plan, Qiao Ran started making it.

First, beat the eggs.

Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. The egg whites should be placed in a clean basin without water or oil. Add sugar and beat with a whisk until fine foam and cream form.

Add the oil, milk, and sugar to the egg yolks in another bowl, and stir evenly with a mixer.

Then pour the low-gluten flour into the mixed egg yolk liquid and continue to mix evenly with a mixer.

Preheat the oven.

Then pour in one-third of the beaten egg whites and use a rubber spatula to stir up and down to mix evenly.

Then pour the remaining egg whites into the batter, stir well, and it will become the batter for baking cakes.

Then pour the mixed batter into the cake mold and shake it left and right to shake out the air bubbles inside to prevent the baked cake from having too many holes.

Put the cake batter in the mold into the oven, adjust the heat up and down to 180 degrees, wait for 30 minutes, and the cake base will be made.

It's a busy job. Bake all the cake bases, shape them, apply butter, and use a piping bag to squeeze out beautiful decorations.

Then decorate it with strawberries, blueberries, grapes, cherries, cherry tomatoes and other fruits stored in the space, and a beautiful and delicious big cake is made!

After finishing the two big cakes, Qiao Ran looked at the fruits of her labor with her hands on her hips and was very satisfied.

Not to mention that there were no such soft and delicious cakes in Dai Viet Dynasty. Even in her previous life, she, who loved sweets, could never get tired of eating cakes like this.

She believed that having this big cake to support her grandma's 50th birthday would surely amaze the entire audience and make it unforgettable for the guests at the banquet.

Just like the fruits and blue-water fish at the last engagement banquet, it amazes and envy the nobles in the capital who think they are well-informed and have tasted delicious food from all over the world.

However, Qiao Ran didn't plan to take the cake order this time.

It's easy to catch blue water fish, but you have to do it yourself for a long time to make cakes. It's too troublesome!

And she has always been afraid of trouble.

Perhaps, I can teach my mother how to make cakes in the future, so that my family won’t have to do it themselves when celebrating their birthdays.

Of course, she is still happy to make big cakes for grandma and mother's birthdays.
