I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

Protect me?

Ping'an felt something inexplicably moving in his heart and nodded slightly.

Butcher Li and Xu Si looked at each other and were both very happy.

"That's settled then. You can just arrive at You time." Xu Si then told them his home address, and Butcher Li wrote it down carefully.

"What dish do you want to make with these ribs?"

"I make sweet and sour spare ribs. My nephew likes to eat them." Xu Si explained.

"Then let me cut this pork rib for you. The meat here is thin, lean, and tender."

"it is good."

When Xu Si was about to pay, Li the butcher refused to accept it.

"You helped me so much, I'll give you these ribs as a thank you."

Nothing makes him happier than to be able to let his son take the initiative to interact with others.

Especially if her son can really become friends with her children, future interactions will be essential.

"That won't work. Let's put things in perspective. If the two children can become good friends, it will be a good thing for us."

Xu Si hurriedly put the money on the stall, turned around and ran away, ignoring the calls behind him.

Normally we would cook three dishes at home, but today is my birthday and there will be guests coming, so we have to have at least six dishes to make it a perfect day.

Xu Si held the spareribs and kept thinking in his mind. Combining the existing dishes at the market, he quickly figured out what to make for the six dishes.

When she returned home after shopping, Lou Yuexin and Su Jinyue had already prepared lunch.

"Second aunt, is he coming?" Qi Ning ran to her anxiously and asked, with some nervousness in his eyes.

"Of course, he will come in the evening." Xu Si didn't tease him and revealed the answer directly.

Qi Ning couldn't help but cheer and laughed so hard that his teeth were visible.

"Are you hungry? Come and have a meal," Lou Yuexin was very happy to hear Xu Si's words and greeted him with the bowl and chopsticks.

Seeing that Xu Si would not be back for a while, and thinking that the dinner would mainly depend on her, they took the initiative to take on the task of preparing lunch.

"Coming."

Xu Si put down the food, washed his hands with soap, and then sat down to eat.

I had a potato tart in the morning and went out to stroll around the market, so my stomach was already empty.

Thinking that dinner was only a few hours away and there was still a lot to do, Xu Si hurried to the kitchen to prepare after finishing his meal.

What’s a birthday without a birthday cake?

Xu Si took out 3 eggs and separated the egg whites and yolks.

Add appropriate amount of sugar and oil to the egg yolks. When adding milk, Qi Ning said, "Second Aunt, this milk doesn't taste good."

He had a bitter face. He had drunk the wine sent by the farm before, but he couldn't help but vomit after taking a sip.

After listening to him, Xu Si roughly understood the reason. Freshly squeezed milk has a fishy smell, but it will be much better after being heated and cooked. Moreover, fresh milk contains a lot of bacteria, so it still needs to be boiled before consumption.

"Don't worry, I've cooked this, so it doesn't have any smell. If you don't believe me, come and smell it."

Xu Si put the bowl of milk next to his nose and watched him sniff it hard.

"Really? There is no smell anymore. Auntie, please smell it." Qi Ning was very surprised. Qing Huan also lowered her head and smelled it.

She had been in poor health before and had to drink a glass of milk almost every day. She had almost gotten used to the fishy smell.

Xu Si smiled and said, "Besides, you still don't believe in Second Uncle's cooking skills?"

"I believe that my second aunt is the most powerful."

Qi Ning's eyes were sparkling with admiration. Not only did his second aunt cook the best food, she was also very powerful and could help him find friends.

Xu Si felt very happy listening to the little guy's praise.

Pour the milk into the bowl and add flour to make a batter.

"Qinghuan, help me boil some water." Xu Si instructed.

Boil water in advance, which is similar to preheating.

Add sugar to the egg whites, add a little white vinegar, and start beating vigorously.

Qinghuan and the others saw the originally transparent egg liquid gradually turn thick white, and they exclaimed in amazement.

Shen Anyi was sitting outside, and when he heard the noise he came in curiously.

"Ah Si, what are you doing?"

"Dad, you're here just in time. Just help me continue this way."

It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Xu Si greeted them hurriedly and shook his sore arms at the same time.

Shen Anyi took it without saying a word and continued according to Xu Si's actions.

When you put the chopsticks in and you can see the hard little tips on it, Xu Si will call a halt and say it’s done.

Shen Anyi stood aside, picked up Qi Ning, and watched with Qing Huan.

Xu Si scooped out a spoonful of egg yolk paste and put it into the egg whites, stirring quickly, and finally poured it all into the egg whites to mix it thoroughly.

Finally, pour it into a round bowl of appropriate size, shake it gently, place a plate upside down on it, put it into the heated pot, and start steaming.

Next it’s time to make the cream.

Prepare two egg yolks in a bowl, beat them, add corn starch and flour.

Pour in some of the boiled milk with sugar, stir into a smooth batter without particles, then pour in the remaining milk and stir well.

Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, and turn off the heat when the batter becomes thick.

After it cools down to room temperature, add the butter in three batches until it is whipped into a fine consistency.

Butter and milk were sold at the same place, and that was the only one supplying it at the market.

Making butter requires a lot of milk, so it is very expensive. That small piece cost her 15 cents.

In the process of whipping the cream, almost everyone in the family participates and takes turns to complete the task.

Xu Si couldn't help but sigh that machines were indeed more useful. Making cakes with only manpower would be too tiring.

Everyone was alarmed by the cake that was about to be made, and stood by waiting for Xu Si's finished product.

At this time, the cake base in the pot was almost done. So he turned off the heat and waited for a while, then Xu Si slowly opened the lid of the pot.

It was very successful. The cake base did not collapse and the color was golden, which looked very beautiful.

Xu Si took out the basin, shook it quickly twice, let it cool and then removed it from the mold.

After the cake base was shaped, the remaining scraps were shared among everyone.

"It looks like egg cake, but tastes better than egg cake." Lou Yuexin commented.

Others also praised it highly and tasted it slowly.

It is very soft in the mouth, has a super delicate taste, and a light milky aroma.

Qi Ning fell in love with milk again. It turned out that he didn't consume it correctly before.

Xu Si cut the cake base into two pieces horizontally and placed one of them on the board prepared in advance.

Apply butter on top, then place another piece on top, coating the entire thing, and make a few simple small flowers on the edge.

Qinghuan had already mashed some spinach juice in advance, and Xu Si mixed it with cream, and used green cream to write the four words "Happy Birthday" in the center of the cake in one go.

"What does this say?" Shen Yanchen asked curiously.

Anyway, everyone knows that he didn't receive a good education, so it's not shameful not to know him.

"Happy birthday." Xu Si answered without thinking.

No one spoke, their eyes were filled with complicated expressions.

Xu Si suddenly realized something. Oh no, these four words were not written like this in ancient times.

She cleared her throat and pretended to be sad. "No one taught me how to read. I just learned it blindly. I don't know if it's correct."

When everyone thought of her life experience, they felt a little pity for her.

"Mom will teach you from now on," Lou Yuexin hurriedly comforted.

Xu Si felt miserable. She didn't really want to study. She had already studied for more than ten years and it would be too miserable to start all over again.

"I will learn this when our conditions are better. Otherwise, I won't have the energy." She made up an excuse.

Lou Yuexin thought it made sense and didn’t say anything more, but she kept this in mind.
