Cai Xiaolian thought to herself: She can do anything she wants!
Gu Nian took a break after she finished preparing the dried pepper and began to prepare dinner.
She had promised to make a cake for Xin Xin, and they had plenty of eggs in their house. They had also bought flour when they had gone shopping earlier.
She separated the egg yolk from the egg whites. She added white sugar to the yolk and beat the egg whites until they were white and fluffy.
The scattered egg yolks were poured into a large bowl with a little salt. A pot of cold water was placed on top and steamed.
Gu Nian had made a total of six large bowls and was planning to send some over to the old residence.
Gu Xin started the fire in front of the stove while Cai Xiaolian washed the vegetables and helped Gu Nian with the cooking.
After the cake was steamed, Gu Xin felt like her saliva was about to flow out. It smelled so good!
“Xin Xin, come and try it. Do you think it’s good?” Gu Nian picked a piece of cake with her chopsticks and gave it to Gu Xin.
“Yes, it’s delicious, Sister. It’s so delicious! It’s the best I’ve ever tasted!” Gu Xin nodded vigorously after she finished eating.
“Let me have a taste!” Cai Xiaolian also went up and ate a piece.
She did not think it was very delicious. It was far worse than the cakes she had eaten before. However, she knew the reason as well. After all, the ingredients were not used enough!
There was not even any milk.
“It’s quite good, Nian Nian. If our chicken keeps laying eggs like this, can we sell cakes?” Cai Xiaolian was a money-maker.
“Mom, forget it. It’s very difficult to get rid of the egg whites. Can we sell spicy cabbage and dregs of sea pepper?” Gu Nian was unwilling.
“Sister, I can do it. I’ll get rid of the egg whites! Let’s sell more money and quickly pay off father’s gambling debts. No one will bully us in the future!” Gu Xin’s big eyes sparkled. She had always been thinking about Gu Shouxin’s gambling debts!
“Xin Xin, Dad said that he would pay off his gambling debts himself. Don’t worry about it. If you think too much about what you’re worried about, you won’t grow tall. How about this? In a while, you bring the cake to Grandpa and Grandma’s place and let them eat it. If they say that this can be sold for money, then we’ll make some every day and sell it.” Gu Nian looked at her big eyes. She couldn’t bear to discourage her.
‘Sigh, forget it. Let’s do business first!’
‘First, we have to solve the problem of food and clothing. Then we can think about other things.’
Gu Nian was a little sad. She missed her days in the laboratory. Unfortunately, even if this era continued to develop for another thousand years, it would still not be able to give her a laboratory.
“Sister, are you unhappy?” Gu Xin was very sensitive to the changes in her family’s mood. She immediately noticed that Gu Nian was a little unhappy.
“It’s nothing. I just don’t want to beat egg whites every day in the future. It’s so tiring!” Gu Nian came back to her senses and smiled.
“It’s okay, Sister. I have the strength. I’ll do it. You can just steam the cake.” Gu Nian’s sparkling eyes were especially sincere when she heard this.
“You little thing, you talk like your parents are useless. Why do you have to do it? You’ll be responsible for eating well, growing more meat, and then growing taller. Leave the rest to your parents.” Cai Xiaolian hugged Gu Xin lovingly. This child was so sensible!
“Alright, Mother, Xin Xin, I’ll cut this cake into small pieces. You two can send it to the old residence together! Mother, you should also ask Grandpa and Fourth Uncle about their thoughts on this cake. See if they can sell it. If they can sell it, how much is the price of one piece that others can accept?” Gu Nian separated the mother and daughter.
After that, she took the cake out of the bowl and put it on a clean plate. She then used a knife to cut it into small pieces.
