Yu Jinggui looked at her cute appearance and nodded helplessly, "Satisfied."
Chen Zhaozhao smiled and said, "So, what should I give you?"
"Let me think about it. It's too expensive and may cause problems. Let's give it some food."
Chen Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, "How about giving me a cake?"
"Can."
"But there is no cream~" Chen Zhaozhao pondered, "Then I will make a naked cake and mix a sauce to replace the cream. Okay, I decided happily like that."
"Yeah." Yu Jinggui nodded.
But he felt that he was not very happy.
Chen Zhaozhao noticed it and stepped forward to kiss him.
Then she went to the kitchen with a smile. She wanted to decorate the birthday cake. She had to make the cake base tonight first, and then make the sauce first.
Just assemble it tomorrow morning.
After all, she wanted to deliver the fruits early in the morning, so she had to get up tonight.
Yu Jinggui was coaxed, stood there and smiled, then chased him to the kitchen.
Standing at the door of the kitchen, he looked at Chen Zhaozhao humming a little tune while busy, and asked: "What song are you humming? Why have I never heard it before?"
Chen Zhaozhao immediately closed the song. This was a popular song for later generations, and she was careless for a moment.
He smiled and said, "I just hum randomly." Then he really started humming randomly.
In this way, in later generations, if the song she sang before becomes popular, she can explain that it is similar or a coincidence, right?
I hope Yu Jinggui won't think too much about it then. After all, no matter how smart he is, he can't think of such a bizarre thing as rebirth.
She was in a good mood making cakes. Yu Jinggui didn't go into detail about the tune she was humming, but said, "You also have to make me a cake on my birthday."
"Okay, I must make it. Make it bigger and more delicious than the one I'm making now."
"Okay." Yu Jinggui walked in, "Do you want to help?"
"Please help me beat the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites."
"good."
Chen Zhaozhao looked at Yu Jinggui's quick movements and smiled with satisfaction.
Now the more she looks at Yu Jinggui, the more satisfied she becomes, and the more she thinks he is perfect.
Early the next morning, Chen Zhaozhao got up to assemble the cake and put it in the bamboo basket box he had remade last night.
When everything was ready, she headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative with Chen Dawang and Yu Jinggui.
Today she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, so Zhang Genshan didn't have to go.
When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Xisi was already waiting in the yard.
Now, under normal circumstances, Chen Dawang and others deliver goods without having to go through Lin Xisi.
Most of the time when I come here, I don’t see Lin Xisi, so I just hand over the goods directly to the staff who receive the goods.
However, because Chen Zhaozhao was coming to deliver gifts today, he asked Chen Dawang to tell Lin Xisi the day before.
Lin Xisi saw them coming and greeted them with a smile.
After greeting each other, Chen Zhaozhao handed the cake over and said, "Happy birthday, Director Lin."
Lin Xisi was stunned, "How did you know today is my birthday?" He took the basket hesitantly, "What is this?"
"A birthday gift for you." Chen Zhaozhao said with a smile: "I made the birthday cake myself, I hope you don't dislike it."
"Birthday cake? Do you know how to make cakes?" Lin Xisi was surprised. He opened the basket and looked at it, "Wow, it smells so good! Is this the birthday cake used by foreigners to celebrate their birthdays?"
"Yes, but it's a little different. Other people's birthday cakes are baked and covered entirely in cream, while mine is steamed and only uses sauce as the top layer and filling." Chen Zhaozhao explained.
Eating cakes on birthdays is not yet popular in Huixi County, even in the provincial capital. After all, cakes are a luxury food.
"That's great." Lin Xisi covered the basket box, "Thank you. To express my gratitude, I'll treat you to Aunt Zhang and her friends at their state-owned hotel for lunch."
"No need." Chen Zhaozhao refused, "You have helped me a lot. I don't know how to thank you, so I made a cake for your birthday. I can't let you spend any more money."
"It doesn't cost anything. A cake this big needs to be eaten by more people to make it more lively. That's it. Director Yu and uncle, you all will come."
Chen Dawang immediately shook his head and refused.
However, Lin Xisi insisted, so Chen Zhaozhao agreed.
She made an eight-inch cake, which was actually not very big.
Chen Zhaozhao went home first, and when it was almost noon, he bought a bottle of shochu, packed some strawberries, and went to Yu Jinggui to celebrate Lin Xisi's birthday.
When they arrived at the state-owned hotel, Lin Xisi was already waiting there.
He booked a table, and besides them, there were also his aunt, uncle, and Aunt Zhang and his wife.
This was the first time that Chen Zhaozhao met Aunt Zhang's husband, Wang Dezhi, who was slightly chubby, smiling, and kind-hearted.
The men at the table all recognized Yu Jinggui and greeted him immediately.
Yu Jinggui didn't need Lin Xisi to introduce Chen Zhaozhao to others. He introduced him directly, "This is my partner Chen Zhaozhao."
The excitement at the table stopped for a moment, and then there were warm congratulations, praising them for being a perfect match.
Aunt Zhang and Lin Yinghong looked at each other with regret in their eyes.
Lin Xisi was also surprised. He didn't expect Chen Zhaozhao and Yu Jinggui to be together. Although his heart twitched, he soon felt relieved.
I have to say that Chen Zhaozhao and Yu Jinggui are indeed a good match.
After everyone met, they sat down, men chatting with men, and women chatting with women.
Listening to the conversation between Yu Jinggui and the others, Jiang Guodong and Wang Dezhi admired him very much, and did not understand why he went to become the director of a factory.
Lin Xisi didn't understand either, but he didn't say much.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Yu Jinggui poured wine for others, "This is the wine brewed by Zhaozhao's father. Let's have a try and wish Director Lin a happy birthday!"
The wine brought by Chen Zhaozhao was served directly on the table, as were the strawberries, and the cake was placed beside it for dessert.
Wang Dezhi loves wine. After taking a sip of this wine, he praised it, "Not bad, really good. You can't buy such delicious bulk wine in the supply and marketing cooperative."
Chen Zhaozhao suddenly thought of another way to make money.
Her father's wine-making skills are very good, and if her spiritual spring is added to the wine, the wine will not be so good.
I’m almost out of rice wine at home, so I’ll give it a try.
Anyway, they are not short of food now, and her father can brew as much as he wants. Unlike before, it took a long time to brew the wine once and for all.
And you can drink it for four or five years at a time.
Thinking of this money-making opportunity, Chen Zhaozhao's mood suddenly soared.
This was destined to be a pleasant meal. After the meal, the cake was brought to the middle of the table.
As the cake maker, Chen Zhaozhao is responsible for taking out the cake, cutting it, giving it to the birthday girl first, and then dividing it up one by one.
Since it is not popular to make wishes and blow out candles, that process is omitted.
Everyone ate the cake, and everyone was amazed and praised it, especially Aunt Zhang, who liked it very much.
"Zhaozhao, how did you make this? Isn't it delicious? Especially the sauce in the middle, what is it made of?"
"This sauce is made with milk, eggs and strawberry puree." Chen Zhaozhao replied.
She made a double-layered cake, and the sauce in the middle was actually similar to the custard sauce made in later generations, except that she added strawberry puree.
However, there was no pure milk at home, so the milk used here was used to prepare the milk powder that Jinggui brought for Chen Xiaoni from the provincial capital.
"Can you tell me how to make this? It's so delicious." Aunt Zhang was very excited.
"Of course you can." Chen Zhaozhao then explained how to make the cake and sauce.
After hearing this, Aunt Zhang sighed that Chen Zhaozhao was amazing.
Because everyone except Chen Zhaozhao had to go to work in the afternoon, we had a chat after eating the cake and then dispersed.
When leaving the hotel, Aunt Zhang pulled Chen Zhaozhao aside and asked...
