Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 411 Egg Cake

After experiencing the boom of opening, the clothing store gradually entered a period of calm.

Zhong Yun and Li Fang managed the two stores, while Liu Huizhen would visit them when she was free.

Lin Qingyan, who has returned to her normal studies, would come to the store after school every day.

She took the day's sales and saved it. In the first few days, she kept all the money in her space and did not deposit it in the bank.

Because she would go to the store after school every day, and the bank would be closed by then.

She could only put the money in the space first and deposit it in the bank a few days later. However, after seeing a thin stub given by the bank, she stopped depositing money in the bank.

After school every day, Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan would rush to the clothing store to work.

After the shop closes, she and Li Fang work together to sort out the goods to be sold the next day. Sometimes Lin Qingyan accompanies them in sorting, and sometimes she goes home first to accompany Liu Huizhen to experiment with new desserts.

Yes, after Lin Qingyan’s clothing store business stabilized, Liu Huizhen and Lu Wan’er’s dessert shop was also renovated, and it could open after the last oven was installed.

One day, Lin Qingyan returned home and saw the new earthen kiln in the yard and asked Liu Huizhen.

"Mom, is the earthen kiln oven in our house ready?"

"Well, the oven in the dessert shop is ready. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to build an oven at home? So I asked the chef to build an oven at home as well."

Liu Huizhen came out of the kitchen, wiped the water off her hands, and asked Lin Qingyan:

"By the way, girl, what are you going to do with this oven you built at home?"

"Make desserts! Your dessert shop has enough varieties, but your store and Aunt Lu's are also quite large, and selling only desserts may limit business.

I am thinking of making some more cakes and putting them in the dessert shop, so that customers who come to our shop can buy some cakes to take home while eating desserts. "

What Lin Qingyan is thinking about now is actually the various pastries in modern bakeries. If she learns how to make all those varieties, her mother's dessert shop business will explode.

Our country has a history of 5,000 years, and every era has its own unique food, and there are also some famous poets.

To use food as poetry, in a nutshell, in addition to loving to watch the fun, Chinese people also love to eat.

An oven is indispensable for making desserts, but she dared not buy a modern electric oven, and she could only use the oven that her ancestors had used for hundreds of years.

She had never used this kind of oven, so she asked Liu Huizhen to build one at home. When she came home from school, she could use the oven to try to make various pastries.

However, she didn't dare to buy an oven, but she dared to buy an egg beater. She bought several manual egg beaters and even electric egg beaters from Modern.

There was also an episode. The things she bought on Modern Online were usually sent to Zhou Limei, who put them in the warehouse where they stored vegetables.

When Zhou Limei saw the word "egg beater" on the express package, she sent her a message asking if she wanted her to buy an oven.

It happened that she was in modern times at that time, so she called Zhou Limei back via video. Tongtong, who hadn't seen her for a long time, had tears in her eyes when she saw her on the phone.

"Sister Qingyan, when will you come back to see Tongtong? Tongtong misses you!"

Lin Qingyan listened to the little girl on the phone telling her about her longing for her. Suddenly, she had an urge to go and accompany Tongtong right now.

Lin Qingyan looked at the people passing by and walked to a place with fewer people, calming the tenderness in her heart that had just been touched.

"Tongtong, don't cry. I will come over to accompany you next time I have a holiday."

"Really?" Tongtong asked in disbelief.

"Really, sister doesn't lie."

After Lin Qingyan's repeated assurances, Tongtong let go of the phone and gave it to Zhou Limei.

Zhou Limei took the phone and said to Lin Qingyan with emotion: "You just do your own thing and don't worry about her. The child has grown up and is not as sensible as she was when she was young.

By the way, the egg beater you bought, the high-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, and butter have all arrived. They are quite large boxes.

I put it in the warehouse. Remember to tell your family to bring two more people when you pick it up. Is your family going to make cakes?"

"Yes, I'm going to make some pastries. It's not very convenient to buy things at my place, and the pastries are all traditional pastries. I want to buy some tools to see if I can make cakes and other Western pastries."

"Did you buy an oven?"

"I didn't buy an oven. There's no electricity over there, so I can't use the oven for now."

Lin Qingyan suddenly remembered that she had bought an electric egg beater. How should she explain this? Just as Lin Qingyan was thinking about how to explain it,

Zhou Limei smiled and said, "Didn't you buy a small home generator last time? Can't that generator power the oven?"

After being reminded by Zhou Limei, Lin Qingyan remembered that she had bought a small generator. She had forgotten why she bought it. It seemed like she bought a bunch of things, and this was just one of them.

"Don't buy an oven for now. The earthen kiln oven at home is already built. Let them try to see if this one can be used first."

"Earthen oven? What kind?"

Zhou Limei had never seen an earthen kiln baking oven, but since she often ate bread and cake, she knew how to use an oven.

"It's covered with high-temperature resistant bricks. In the past, when there were no electric ovens, we used this oven."

In the end, it was Lin Qingyan who introduced Zhou Limei to the oven. Zhou Limei also gave Lin Qingyan a lot of suggestions on making pastries, which Lin Qingyan wrote down one by one.

Lin Qingyan cut off her memories and followed the steps she copied from her phone to make egg cakes. There were a bunch of ingredients in front of her.

She replaced the high-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, etc. with transparent packaging, with only the name of the ingredient written on it.

Liu Huizhen had already beaten the eggs according to her request and was using an electric egg beater.

"Qingyan, this thing is really useful. If I use it manually, I think my arms would be too tired to lift them in less than a day."

She glanced at the manual egg beater beside her, then looked at the electric egg beater she was using and asked:

"This egg beater costs a lot of money, right?"

"Mom, this is not a matter of money. It's just that we can't buy it here yet. We spent a lot of effort to get it from somewhere else.

Put one at home and two in the store. Just be careful not to let others take them away. The source of this product is unclear."

Lin Qingyan was weighing flour. There was a ratio for how much flour was needed for each egg. She knew that there were electronic scales in modern times, which were much more convenient than the one she had in her hand.

"Mom, from now on, if your store needs any materials other than ordinary flour, such as high-gluten flour and low-gluten flour, just tell me when you run out, and I'll get it for you. The same goes for other materials."

After Lin Qingyan gave Liu Huizhen instructions, the two continued to make egg cakes. After failing two more batches, Lin Qingyan finally got the temperature under control.

When Lu Wan'er came to find Liu Huizhen, she smelled the fragrance as soon as she reached the door.
