Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 82 Cream Cakes and Egg Tarts
"Aunties, the oven is ready to use. I just checked and you've already preheated it. Today I'm going to teach you how to make two new pastries. We'll need to make these pastries fresh, so I might need to send a few of you to town."
"I plan to offer these snacks in limited quantities, and everyone should learn how to make them so that we can work in shifts and not get too tired. What do you think?"
Yu Banxia said to the women who were busy in the kitchen.
Zhao was the first to respond: "You're the person in charge of our village, you won't let us suffer. You say what we should learn, we'll learn from you, right everyone?"
“Yes, Xia girl, whatever you say, we’ll learn it.” The other women quickly agreed.
Yu Banxia smiled and agreed, then began to teach.
She's going to teach everyone how to make egg tarts and sponge cakes, with cream spread in the middle; all of these need to be made fresh.
Fortunately, everyone had been making pastries for quite some time, so Yu Banxia first taught them how to make puff pastry and then how to refine butter.
One traditional method involves heating the milk and then separating it.
One method is natural fermentation, which doesn't require any complicated procedures.
As for the cows, not long ago Yu Banxia released two cows, a male and a female, from her space.
When she was making goat milk and cow milk soap, she bought a pair of cows and kept them in her space. Later, Xiaobai put them in the acceleration zone.
There are now a bunch of cows of all sizes in the space, not to mention sheep. On the hillside not far away, a large flock of sheep is leisurely grazing.
Very cheerful.
Now the villagers don't ask anymore. When they do, they just say it was given by the Qian family, and that the Qian family is from Beijing.
Who would bother to verify that?
"This is the cream I refined earlier. After whipping it, it turned into this." Yu Banxia demonstrated, and the liquid cream quickly turned into solid cream.
Everyone was amazed when they saw the white cream.
Yu Banxia let them try some, and everyone thought it was really delicious.
Once the puff pastry is made, it is sent to the ice cellar to be chilled.
While the puff pastry dough was being chilled, Yu Banxia baked a batch of sponge cakes.
It's basically just replacing steaming with baking; you can just use what's already prepared.
As the cake baked, a sweet aroma filled the air.
The younger children in the family lost all interest in studying and gathered around.
"Auntie, what is this? It smells so good and sweet!" Tiger asked Yu Banxia, his eyes fixed on the stove.
Yu Banxia patted his head and smiled, saying, "It's a baked cake, different from a steamed cake. You'll see when you try it; it's delicious."
"When will it get better?" Tiger looked at Yu Banxia expectantly.
Yu Banxia thought for a moment and figured it would be about time before it was time for another cup of tea.
Tiger and the others started to look forward to it. Yu Hongwen smiled and shook his head. A bunch of little gluttons, but the smell was indeed quite tempting.
It's no wonder that children are attracted to it.
The adults looked at the children with smiles on their faces, and when the cake came out of the oven, not only the children but also the adults showed expressions of surprise.
Isn’t this too fragrant?
"Try it, it's a little hot, be careful, eat less. I'll make you a cream one later." Yu Banxia divided the cake into portions.
Everyone was surprised to see the cake baked to a golden brown and crispy color, yet soft and fluffy inside.
“Delicious, really delicious.”
"The steamed cake is soft and fluffy, and the surface of this one is crispy. It's really delicious."
"Our Xiaxia is really amazing. How does her little brain grow? It tastes so good."
While spreading cream on the cake, Yu Banxia said, "There's another step to take now. I've already asked my uncle to do it. He'll press the parchment paper into this shape."
She took out a cake paper bowl, put the cake inside, and it actually looked quite nice.
This thing is not unusual in modern times, but it was a rare find in ancient times.
"This is great, it's beautiful and convenient. Can it be reused?" an auntie suddenly asked.
Yu Banxia looked at her and teased, "A child licked it, and you still dare to use it?"
"I really wouldn't dare, haha, it sounds disgusting." The aunt laughed, and the others laughed along.
"Try this." Yu Banxia handed over the cream cake she had just finished.
Yu Banyue silently watched and learned to do it; even with their hands moving quickly, they could only make a dozen or so.
After Zhao finished eating, she didn't rush to eat the cream cake. Instead, she wiped her hands and went to help.
Several women saw this and quickly went to learn how to do it.
The dozen or so cakes were distributed to the children first. After receiving them, the children cheered happily: "Oh, oh, cream cake! I'm going to find Xu Gou Dan, I'm going to make him drool!"
"He was showing off a pig's trotter in front of me more than a month ago, humph." The child's mother laughed and scolded him in annoyance.
Didn't your cousin give you some too?
"Oh, then I'll give this to him." This child has recently been receiving his early education at the Yu family's home and has become much more polite.
The woman smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this, and Yu Banxia gave him another one: "Go ahead."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaxia." The child happily took the cake and ran towards Xiaoxu Village.
Xu looked at Yu Banxia, wanting to thank her, but Yu Banxia smiled at her instead, and then smiled back without saying thank you.
"Girl, this cream cake is delicious!" Yu Hongwen also got one, and after tasting it, he gave Yu Banxia a thumbs up.
"Father, you can't have too much cream cake, it'll be too sweet. Try the egg tarts later," Yu Banxia said to her father.
Yu Hongwen agreed, then called to the children, "You little rascals, go back to learning characters. We can't wait for that little rascal Yu Hao anymore."
"Yes, Master." Tiger and the others responded loudly. When they were in school, they didn't call him Grandpa, but Master.
Yu Hongwen laughed heartily and invited them into the house.
Yu Banxia handed the cream cake over to her aunts and sisters-in-law to make, and then went to the ice cellar.
After checking it, I took the puff pastry back to the kitchen.
"How do we do this?" A group of aunties gathered around.
Yu Banxia picked up the dough and mixed it with the puff pastry, then shaped it into a bowl. Because the puff pastry had been frozen, it wouldn't become soft and collapse.
In no time, she had made several.
Several aunties also started learning, and with many hands making light work, she quickly finished making the puff pastry.
Then, the previously prepared egg tart filling was poured into the crust. The group of women looked at each other in bewilderment. Wouldn't this break or rot?
Then I saw her place the egg tarts on a metal tray and put them into the oven one by one.
"It's almost time for half an incense stick to burn. Let's test the heat for the first time." Yu Banxia covered her mouth with a wooden lid.
The woman tending the fire nodded and began to tend the fire.
Everyone waited quietly, and slowly a milky aroma wafted out, attracting those working nearby to come in.
"What is this? It smells so good, it's irresistible."
"It smells so good." Another man sniffed as well.
