45 Making a Cake

After dinner, Su Xiu and her little sister took a shower and went to bed. After a whole day of hard work, she was already exhausted and had to get up early to work in the fields the next day. Her little sister was still young, and even though children were spirited in the mornings, they needed to go to bed early at night.

Su Wen and Su Qing started to get busy.

Making cakes.

She would finish them by tonight and go to town to sell them in the morning.

“Can you do it, big sister?” Su Qing’s heart was a mess. She was worried that she would be caught and that she would not do a good job. The villagers had never made cakes before. It was already good to make sponge cakes during the Chinese New Year and holidays. If she failed, it would be a waste of good stuff.

Su Qing never knew that her elder sister knew how to make it, but she did not dare to question her.

She was afraid of angering her elder sister. The days at home finally became more stable. If their big sister was unhappy, all of them would be sad and suffer together.

How could Su Wen not know what Su Qing was thinking, but she pretended not to see it.

The seven sisters of the Su family, except for the original character who was brainless, were too weak. Su Qing had a lot of questions in her heart, but she did not dare to ask. However, this was convenient for her. At least she did not have to use her brain to explain.

“Don’t even think about it. I learned it secretly from someone. Even if I won’t succeed the first time, I’ll learn it after a few more tries. If you don’t work hard, you won’t be able to do it for the rest of your life.”

Su Wen’s words made Su Qing’s heart tremble, and she looked at Su Wen with tears in her eyes.

“Big sister, you’ve worked hard. In the future, don’t do such dangerous things. If it really doesn’t work, let me do it.” Stealing other people’s skills was a huge taboo, and it was normal to have one’s hands broken if caught.

Su Wen was too lazy to learn! In modern society, there were Western food courses everywhere, so it was not difficult at all.

She used to make it a lot when she was resting at home. She had tried making it without an oven, using a rice cooker, steaming, and many other methods. As long as one can master the trick, one can make a fragrant and soft fluffy cake.

“Help me crack the eggs. Separate the egg whites and yolks and put them in these two bowls.”

Su Wen had already prepared the tools for making the cake in advance. She even found a thin wire and used a pair of pliers to make a simple version of the egg striker. It was not as easy to use as an electric one and was very tiring, but Su Wen was already mentally prepared.

From the fine flour to the egg-white foam, and then the sugar… all the steps were done according to her own experience. She did not have an electronic scale for the kitchen, so she had already simulated the ratio in her mind in advance. With her previous experience, it was not difficult to do it.

It was time consuming, and she could not make any mistakes. Without an oven or rice cooker, she racked her brain to try to make a cake with the iron pot taste oven made.

If she was lazy, she could steam it directly, but the taste of the cake made that way would be much worse. In the end, she thought of adding an iron lid to the wooden lid and wrapping it with a thick layer of cloth used for steaming buns.

As long as the heat control was good, it could achieve an effect similar to an oven.

After Su Wen poured the prepared flour paste into the iron box that she had found last minute to serve as a mold, she covered the pot cover and did all the follow-up preparations. She personally watched Su Qing start the fire.

The heat control was too important. The fire could not be too big or too small.

If the fire had not been controlled well, everything would have been in vain. All the eggs, flour, and sugar would be wasted.
