My delicate husband

Chapter 104 Trying to Make Desserts

Everyone in the family has been busy recently. Lan'an doesn't know why, but she always wants to eat desserts. Anyway, she is bored at home, so Lan'an thought about making desserts.

There were only a few kinds of pastries in the Chuqi Kingdom, and there were no cakes and breads that are common in later generations. Lan Euan also liked to eat sweet things, probably because life was bitter, so he preferred all sweet things.

In his previous life, Lan An would not express his particular liking for anything because it was not allowed. Now that he and Zhang Xiaomo both like sweet food, he wants to try making some simple desserts.

Lan An had never thought that he would be so gentle. After being with Zhang Xiaomo, he became much calmer. All the negative emotions in the past seemed to have disappeared. It turned out that loving someone really makes you want to face life positively.

Zhang Xiaomo is really nice. She tolerates all of Lan An's little tempers and supports all of his strange ideas and fantasies. Zhang Xiaomo gives Lan An everything he longed for in his previous life.

"Brother Xiaomo, I want to make a cake."

"What's a cake?"

“It’s very soft, sweet, and fragrant. You’ll feel very happy when you eat it.”

"Then I'll make the cake with An An. I hope An An can be very happy."

Zhang Xiaomo was also very curious about what kind of magical food it was that could make one feel happy after eating one bite. If possible, he hoped An An could eat it every day. He hoped An An could be happy every day.

Lan An discovered that there were no dairy cows in this era, so if she wanted to make cakes, she could only use goat's milk. There were very few people raising sheep in Yunling County, let alone a ewe that had just given birth. Lan An felt a little lost for a moment.

Zhang Xiaomo immediately wrote to Brother Wu, asking him to help look for them. Luckily, within two days, he found two newly-born ewes, and without delay, they were delivered immediately. Lan An was very happy to see this, and his dissatisfaction with Brother Wu was somewhat reduced.

Zhang Xiaomo had previously asked Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, to repair the ice room, and construction had started in the past two days. Brother Xie was also very happy. Last time when he was drunk, he seemed to have realized his feelings for Zhu Ni, the bricklayer. He was sure he couldn't let go, but he couldn't disturb him. Now he was quite content to be able to see him every day.

He was very happy to know that Lan'an was going to research new food. He had always been a big fan of food. When he learned that Lan'an was going to build a bread kiln, Brother Xie volunteered to take it over to him. Brother Kong happened to be there too, so he was relieved to hand over Lan'an to the two of them.

Brother Kong came this time with the intention of marrying into Brother Xu's family, but he didn't know why the person who had a good impression of him before was so cold this time. It was obvious that he only regarded him as an ordinary friend. Originally, he thought that the one who is close to the water will get the moon first, but recently everyone in the Zhang family except Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo has been very busy, and he has not found a chance to get along with Brother Xu.

"Brother An, what new food are you going to make? This brick kiln is quite novel."

"For baking bread and cookies."

"What's this new thing, little brother An? Your brain is just different from ours."

Lan Eucalyptus wanted to roll his eyes. How could it be the same? After all, they were thousands of years apart.

"Thank you, brother. I'm just a bit idle and like to think about things."

Brother Xie and Brother Kong built the oven quickly, finishing it in half a day. It's not very big, only able to bake seven or eight loaves at a time. It's very cute, and Lan An likes it very much, although everyone else thinks it's a bit odd.

"Angel, are you sure this can be used to make bread?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely work, but you have to try more."

Lan Euan planned to start with simple pudding. In order to make better desserts, he exchanged for a set of distillation equipment, which he could only use secretly, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

Lan Euan asked questions about the Egret distiller and learned that it was only available in the capital and it was very troublesome to customize it. He thought it would be better to exchange it from the space mall, which was simple and convenient.

Pudding doesn't require a distiller, but butter cookies do. To make the pudding more successfully, Lan Euan had Brother He customize a special clay cup. Perhaps the less skilled the person, the better the equipment.

Although Lan An was forced to learn cooking in her previous life, she had never made desserts herself. They were all made by her mother Wang at home. When she first started cooking, they were just candlelight dinners, soups, and loving bento boxes. Later, she began to learn many recipes in order to gain her parents' approval.

Everyone in the Zhang family was very curious about this new food. It was the first time they saw Lan Eucalyptus spend so much time preparing something, and everyone was looking forward to it.

The first thing to start with is caramel pudding, which is the easiest and most delicious. Just boil the goat milk to remove the fishy smell, mix the goat milk, sugar and eggs, pour it into a cup, and bake it in a bread oven to get goat milk pudding.

Aunt Li was also very curious. She thought it was quite easy to make blue eucalyptus. However, considering the raw materials and the strange kiln, most people would not want to cook it.

This time Lan'an was not so lucky. He prepared eight cups in total, but all of them failed. Some were not cooked and some were burnt. Lan'an was a little disappointed. Zhang Xiaomo comforted him for a long time and even tried to eat the burnt pudding. Lan'an quickly stopped him for fear that he would be poisoned.

Everyone was also very surprised. They didn't expect to see Lan Euan have a chance to turn over. They were also looking forward to this so-called pudding. However, Brother He and Aunt Li were also very distressed when they saw what Lan Euan had destroyed. It was all hard-earned money.

After trying two or three more times, Lan An readjusted the proportions and was more careful when baking. After wasting more than ten eggs and two or three cans of milk, he finally succeeded. Everyone watching on the side breathed a sigh of relief. If he had failed again, Zhang Xiaomo would not have known how to coax Lan An.

Lan Euan was reluctant to share the pudding with others. He spent a lot of effort on this pudding. He probably won't make it easily in the future. After all, he is very lazy. Fortunately, Aunt Li learned how to make it, but it is impossible to succeed in one go. She dare not waste it like the young master.

However, everyone in the family still got one. In fact, after eating the half-finished product, no one was so excited about the pudding, but under Lan An's expectant eyes and Zhang Xiaomo's cold eyes, everyone accepted it. Brother He had already thought of how to praise them.

But when we really took a sip, we were really amazed. The taste was delicate and smooth, and the sweetness of caramel and the milky aroma of pudding were perfectly blended. It was so unexpected. It was a pity that it was only a small cup and it was gone before we had time to savor it.

Zhang Xiaomo really loves sweets. Lan An noticed that the corners of his eyes would curve upwards when he ate pudding, which was really cute. Lan An suddenly felt that it was worth it no matter how many times or how many times he did it.

"You went through all this trouble just to make this small cup of pudding? Brother An, you're really good. You ate it in two bites and it was gone before I had time to savor it. Can't you make a bigger cup next time? You're wasting your time."

"No, Brother Xiaomo likes desserts, so I wanted to try making some."

Although everyone wanted to get another cup, there was no need to think, as they were all left by Lan An for Zhang Xiaomo.

Guo Ge'er finally got a cup after begging Lan An, but it was taken away by Zhang Xiaomo. He could only look at Zhang Xiaomo with resentment and didn't dare to say anything.

"Brother Xiaomo, it's delicious. I will make it for you often in the future."

"Okay, An An, just be mine."

Everyone looked at him with some contempt. After all, he was such an adult, yet he was so confident in eating alone. However, they were angry but dared not say anything.

Brother Xie felt that this pudding could not soothe his wounded heart. Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, deliberately avoided him. He had been here for several days and had not seen Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, let alone communicated privately. This made Brother Xie a little annoyed.

Brother Xu and Brother Kong did not talk to each other. There was something strange between them. The expressions on their faces changed a lot, as if they were communicating with their spiritual consciousness. However, Lan An did not care. All his thoughts on him recently were on making desserts. He even dreamed of distilling butter in space at night.

Lan An has been busy in the kitchen recently. Zhang Xiaomo originally accompanied her, but because he failed too many times, Lan An asked him to leave the kitchen. Aunt Li left on her own initiative. Her heart bleeds when she watched Lan An waste food, so she chose to turn a blind eye.

After about a week, Brother Xie went back to the county town. He felt that he would go crazy if he stayed there any longer. It was fine not to see anyone before, but now it was even more annoying to see him every day. Occasionally sneaking home with someone and seeing him being affectionate with his wife was even more self-destructive, so Brother Xie chose to return to the county town.

The ice room was almost built and was almost finished. By the time Zhu the bricklayer decided to finish building the ice room and confess to Brother Xie, the man had already left.

Brother Kong didn't leave. He felt that what the boss said was right: if you want to find a partner, you have to be thick-skinned. He began to stick to Brother Xu every day, and Brother Han was happy to give them opportunities. After all, it's not easy to be a light bulb. Their relationship improved, and they often went out to work together.

"Brother Xiaomo, I finally succeeded. I can make delicious food for you."

Looking at the flour on the tip of Lan'an's nose, Zhang Xiaomo felt his heart soften. He knew how much his An'an was afraid of trouble. Zhang Xiaomo had seen Lan'an's efforts during this period. He rarely saw Lan'an so serious. Now he just wanted to put him on the bed and bully him severely. They had rarely been intimate this week, and his beast could no longer be contained.

"Okay, wait for An An to make me something delicious."

Set the butter, brown sugar powder, flour, and eggs aside. Soften the butter and add the brown sugar powder, stirring until combined. Add the eggs and continue stirring until the butter and eggs are fully combined. Then, add the flour and knead the dough with your hands.

Of course, Lan An did not forget to call Aunt Li into the kitchen. It was so troublesome, and he didn't want to do it again after doing it this time. He would let Aunt Li do it next time.

The two rolled the dough into thin sheets, pressed them into square slices with a square mold, and put them into the bread oven to bake.

Blue Eucalyptus was the only one responsible for baking, but he accidentally burned some of the cakes. Later, he baked them until both sides were golden brown. They only needed to be cooled and then put into sealed bottles and jars, which can be kept for a week.

I made a lot of blue gum this time, but the burnt blue gum cookies were distributed to the servants at home. Everyone still liked them very much, and the burntness did not affect the taste at all.

Guo Ge'er also got a small half can. Although Zhang Xiaomo was reluctant to give it away, his family member An An worked hard for more than a week to get such a small can or two. He wanted to keep it and eat it slowly.

But Lan Euan coaxed him, saying that it couldn't last too long and it would affect the taste. After kissing and hugging him for a long time and even signing an unequal treaty, she finally got Guo Ge'er such a small half can.

Finally, he could eat An An. Zhang Xiaomo was very fierce, and Lan An was unable to eat dinner in the end. Zhang Xiaomo kissed the corner of his eyes with a satisfied look on his face. He ate a few more cookies that he was reluctant to eat. After all, An An said that he could only eat them for a week.
