Su Qingluan looked at the sky outside - she just lit a fire and cooked some porridge, and the thick fog outside had gradually dispersed.
Trying hard to ignore the fact that her cooking skills needed to be further refined, Su Qingluan could finally feel free to go to the chicken shed in the backyard to touch eggs.
At this time, she heard footsteps behind her. Still looking up, it turned out to be Yang who was walking this way while putting a cloak on her body. She looked at Su Qingluan with distress: "Didn't I ask you to sleep a little longer? Why did you get up earlier than usual?"
Looking at the kitchen, the fire inside was already burning brightly. Yang estimated that Young Master Su Qingluan would have to get up for more than half an hour.
Su Qingluan smiled and shook his head: "You are all sick, how can I sleep soundly? Anyway, I woke up, not for a while - not to mention that it was an emergency that I didn't sleep well last night, and I can't sleep every time. It’s been like this every time. The worst thing I can do is go to bed earlier tonight.”
Seeing that Mrs. Yang wanted to go to the kitchen to help, Su Qingluan quickly shook her head: "Mom, please don't help me. I can handle it all by myself - not to mention, as you said, if you let me go, If we get sick, won't our family be completely wiped out?"
While talking, Su Xueyan must have woken up. After waking up last night and finding herself in a strange environment, the little girl was still a little scared, so she could vaguely hear her asking for her mother and sister.
Mrs. Yang sighed: "I'm going to check on the third girl, and I'll leave this to you." After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and went back to comfort the child.
Su Qingluan then turned around and went to the chicken shed - the weather was cold. In order to prevent the hens laying eggs in the chicken shed from frostbite, Su Qingluan also added a "quilt" to the chickens outside - of course. The Su family didn't really have the luxury of using real cotton. They just used reed catkins and rags that were cheap and had a certain warmth-keeping effect, plus a layer of windproof and waterproof oil paper.
Although simple, it is enough to be used outside the chicken shed - after all, the hen itself has "fur" and lives in a "group dormitory", so even in the coldest winter, it will not freeze to death.
Thinking that everyone should ensure the intake of at least one egg, Su Qingluan touched five eggs.
This time, Su Qingluan planned to make an egg cake. However, compared to the simplest method of adding flour and vegetables and spreading the cooked egg cake directly on the frying pan, Su Qingluan planned to make a simple cake this time. Way to make egg pancakes.
Back in the kitchen, Su Qingluan first looked at the state of the porridge - since she had controlled the fire in the stove to be as small as possible without extinguishing it, the porridge was already thick and flowing slowly, but not "gurgling" Bubbling state.
Su Qingluan took advantage of this moment to carefully separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two bowls, then add two parts of white water to the egg yolks, beat them thoroughly to form a light yellow liquid, and then add a scoop of flour. Stir thoroughly again, and finally the flour and egg yolk liquid are fully mixed and stirred to form two light yellow semi-liquids.
In fact, the two portions of "white water" contain different seasonings - one contains white sugar, and the other contains salt, a little black pepper and Sichuan peppercorns.
The sweet one is naturally for the younger brothers and sisters - children are always irresistible to this fragrant and sweet food.
As for the salty ones, they naturally take care of Su Guangfu and Yang who don't like sweet things.
As for herself - a joke, foodies don't do multiple-choice questions. Su Qingluan, who loves sweets and likes sea salt style cakes, said she wants them all!
In order not to waste the extra ingredients, Su Qingluan decided not to sift it - after all, it was just a meal for the sick, and he was not so focused on appearance.
With this in mind, Su Qingluan started to pick up the bowl of egg whites, took a deep breath, and started to throw them away.
Manual whipping is naturally not as efficient as the modern egg-beating machines. When Su Qingluan's right hand was tired from whipping, he had to take a break and switch to his left hand - and by the way, he also had to pay attention to the order of whipping to prevent defoaming.
After it was fully cooked, Su Qingluan immediately picked up the thick porridge and set it aside. Then she immediately placed her non-flat frying pan on the stove and brushed it with a layer of oil.
The pan is an iron pan after all, so it needs to be preheated a little. Su Qingluan took advantage of this preheating period to mix half of the meringue into the sweet egg yolk and flour mixture, stir it thoroughly, and put it into the frying pan.
This frying pan has been "raised" because of Su Qingluan's frequent use and diligent maintenance. As long as it is used properly and is fully preheated before frying food, it can be completely non-stick.
So Su Qingluan quickly made the eggs into an egg pancake that was slightly burnt on both sides. And in order to prevent the egg pancakes from being made too big for everyone, especially the two little guys, the egg pancakes are only the size of a bowl, and even Su Xueyan can probably eat two.
In the end, Su Qingluan made more than ten sweet and savory egg pancakes, but they were all as big as a palm, so Su Qingluan was not worried about not being able to finish them.
And because it is mixed with completely whipped meringue, this egg cake tastes particularly fluffy and soft, and because the sides are slightly browned, it looks very chewy.
Sure enough, when the egg pancake was served, it was snapped up by the whole family. Even the little girl Su Xueyan and Mr. Yang, who didn't sleep well in the first half of the night yesterday, ate a lot. Su Guangfu even ate an extra piece of sweet egg pancakes as a reward, but he obviously liked the salty ones more, so he ate six of them in one go.
Su Qingluan sat alone at the small low table that was brought from her room, watching the people at the main dining table eating enthusiastically, and felt very accomplished - it seemed that she had successfully improved her taste.
After breakfast, Ms. Yang said nothing to let Su Qingluan clean up the dishes: "Go to your room and rest! Our family can't go out to the stall today anyway, so I can still wash two dishes—— If it doesn’t work, there’s still your father!”
"Ah?" Su Qingluan was stunned, "My father washes the dishes?"
"What's that expression on your face?" Ms. Yang said with a smile, "Your father is good at making furniture and repairing houses, but he only washes dishes. What can't he do?"
"..." That's true. Su Qingluan said in her heart: The reason is very good, and she can't refute it.
However, it was obvious that Su Qingluan was destined to not be able to catch up on his sleep in broad daylight—and it was broad daylight after the recruitment notice had been posted.
Because she had just returned to her room, and before she even touched a corner of the bed, she heard someone shouting from outside: "Shopkeeper Su, Mrs. Su! Are you there? We are here to apply!"
Su Qingluan stood up when he heard this: This is someone coming! And listening to the meaning behind the other person's words - he was probably one of the people who worked overtime at her place last time!
So, she immediately walked towards the door.
