Chapter 397 - 397 Serving Tea
397 Serving Tea
“This is great… This is really perfect!”
Liu Yanran licked her red lips and praised the lingering fragrance of the french toast.
Then, she crossed her arms and tapped her chin with her fingertips, thinking about what dessert to make next.
“Oh… I have the appetizer. The weather has been so hot recently. I’ll make another dessert.”
After the plan was finalized, Liu Yanran opened the fridge and searched to see if there were any fruits to find some inspiration. Unfortunately, other than bananas and some plain cakes, the fridge was empty.
“Ah, I forgot to buy fruits when I came back from work.”
Liu Yanran patted her head and pouted.
Looking at the remaining two or three bananas, she frowned. After some thought, her eyes lit up and she had an idea.
This dessert was very suitable for afternoon tea or after-meal desserts. It was also extremely simple and convenient.
She first peeled the bananas and took out the banana flesh. Then, she cut the banana flesh into sections and strung them together with chopsticks.
Then, she placed the banana skewers into a container. After pouring some yogurt on them, she sprinkled bread crumbs on them. Then, she closed the box and placed it in the fridge to freeze it.
Actually, this step was a little similar to the fried bananas that were usually sold on the barbecue street, but the fried bananas had to be fried, while this one had to be refrigerated.
After about 10 to 20 minutes of refrigerating, the frozen banana was completed.
Next, it was time to make the main dish.
Liu Yanran opened the fridge and wanted to take out the plain cakes. After some thought, she put it back.
It was rare for the Young Master to come. No matter what, she had to prepare a fresh reception.
With this thought in mind, Liu Yanran took five eggs and placed the egg yolk and egg white in two bowls.
Then, she added 20 grams of white sugar to the egg yolk. After gently mixing it with a whisk, she added 45 ml of corn oil and 40 ml of milk to the egg yolk and stirred it into an egg paste.
After that, she sifted 90g of low-gluten flour into the egg yolk paste and gently mixed it evenly with a rubber sc.r.a.per.
After doing this, Liu Yanran heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she picked up the bowl of egg whites on the other side and started the next step.
First, she added a few drops of lemon juice to the egg white. Then, she used an electric whisk to beat the egg white until it formed peaks. At this moment, she added 20 grams of white sugar and continued to stir it.
When she was stirring the egg whites, she had already preheated the oven. She heated it up by 160 degrees and preheated it for nearly 10 minutes.
Then, she continued stirring until the egg white was thick. After that, she added another 20 grams of white sugar and continued stirring.
Then, she placed one-third of the egg white into the egg yolk paste. She used a rubber sc.r.a.per to gently mix it from the bottom up until it was evenly mixed. Then, she placed another one-third of the egg white into the cake paste and mixed it evenly.
This continued. When it was finally completed, Liu Yanran wiped the sweat off her forehead. Then, she poured the mixed cake paste into the mold and smoothed it out slightly. Then, she picked up the mold with her hand and shook it twice on the table.
Then, she placed the cake paste into the preheated oven. It would be done in an hour.
As long as nothing unexpected happened to the oven, this chiffon cake would be done.
After finishing all of this, Liu Yanran finally took a few deep breaths.
The chiffon cake and frozen bananas would take some time, so she wasn’t in a hurry. After cleaning up, she placed the honey french toast in front of Ye Xuan.
“Young Master, try this appetizer. The main dish is in the back. It will take more than half an hour.”
Ye Xuan stuck his head out and took a look. Then, he sat up and picked up a piece of bread with his chopsticks. He put it in his mouth and tasted it.
“Yes, not bad. It’s better than the food in restaurants.”
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Liu Yanran’s tired expression instantly disappeared without a trace like a blooming flower.
“I didn’t expect you to be so talented in making desserts. I’ve eaten many french toasts, but none of them are as flavorful as yours.”
Ye Xuan picked up the bread slices one by one and kept praising them.
From his tone and expression, it was obvious that he was praising her from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Yanran naturally understood and was overjoyed.
“Young Master, if you like it, I’ll make it for you every day in the future.”
When Ye Xuan heard this, he was delighted and waved his hand.
“Don’t. If you cook it every day, what if I get fat from eating?”
Liu Yanran naturally knew that sweet food made one fat.
She immediately smiled and teased him.
“You’ll be even cuter when you gain weight.”
Cuter…
Ye Xuan’s lips twitched and he was a little speechless.
He wondered what Liu Yanran would think if she knew that he was a young man whose soul had transmigrated.
Thinking of the scene back then, he couldn’t help but smile.
Then, he changed the topic.
“By the way, what’s the main dish?”
“It’s a chiffon cake. I made a very big cake. It should be enough for us to eat. If it’s not enough, I’ll make something else later.”
Liu Yanran replied seriously. After saying that, she picked up a cup and poured two cups of hot water from the water purifier.
Ye Xuan thought about the appearance and texture of the chiffon cake and didn’t say anything. After taking a sip of hot water, he snuggled back into the sofa.
An hour was neither long nor short. She swiped her cell phone and an hour pa.s.sed in a short while.
The chiffon cake was already out of the oven, and the frozen bananas were ready.
Liu Yanran cut the chiffon cake into slices and brought them to Ye Xuan. She looked at Ye Xuan expectantly, waiting for him to praise her.
Ye Xuan smiled and tasted a piece of the cake. Liu Yanran’s cake-making skills were indeed high.
If she opened a shop, it would definitely be popular, but there was no need.
“Sure, your craftsmanship can be considered to be at the level of a master.”
When Liu Yanran heard the praise, she smiled as she wished. Then, she picked up her fork and joined in, chewing and swallowing slowly.
The cakes and desserts didn’t seem to have large portions, but were quite filling. After Ye Xuan ate the last frozen banana, he finally couldn’t take it anymore and collapsed on the sofa.
Liu Yanran was also a little full. She leaned against the sofa and stretched her legs lazily.
After resting for a while, she couldn’t help but feel sleepy. She greeted Ye Xuan and returned to her room to take an afternoon nap.
Ye Xuan was fine with anything. He wasn’t interested in the bedroom Liu Yanran mentioned at all. Compared to that, this soft sofa was the source of comfort.
Hence, he did not move at all. He hugged the pillow and fell asleep.
Time pa.s.sed quickly. When Ye Xuan woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Liu Yanran yawned and was making tea. Clearly, she was not fully awake.
“Yanran, what tea did you make?”
“It’s the Jade Pool Snowflake tea. This is the only tea I have at home for the time being. Young Master, are you used to it?”
The Jade Pool Snowflake tea?
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. No wonder the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
“I’m used to it. This tea is not bad. Help me make it stronger. It’s meaningless if the tea is tasteless.”
Liu Yanran glanced at Ye Xuan. She was a little surprised by Ye Xuan’s taste as a child, but she didn’t show it.
“Uh-uh, okay.”
As she answered, she brought the tea over.
