Chapter 119 Preparing to Make a Cake
"Your little mouth looks like it's been poisoned."
Xia Mi rolled her eyes at him, "I will talk to my aunt about this matter again, and we'll see then."
This matter needs to be considered in the long term, and it cannot be just a matter of time.
Huo Jingchen nodded and silently thought about his vacation in his heart. The most troublesome pirates had been eradicated, so he could just take a leave.
But lately, Lao Jiang has been saying things that hint intentionally or unintentionally, and both inside and outside of his words are news that he is moving.
What else could be the reason for the sudden move? It's just a matter of mention.
As for who will take his place once Lao Jiang leaves, Huo Jingchen is not too concerned, because he has the most military merits, so this issue has no suspense for him.
It's just that he can't spread things that haven't been implemented yet.
The reward for the last pirate case has not been paid out yet, and Huo Jingchen estimated that it would be a long time.
"I haven't taken many vacations in the past few years. The vacations are all piled together. If my aunt wants to go back and you are worried, I will go back with you."
By the way, he also wanted to go back and see Sanchi's regretful face.
Huo Jingchen has his own plan.
Before the meal was finished, Xia Mi didn't know why Huo Jingchen's attitude suddenly changed so drastically.
"We'll discuss it when auntie comes. If we leave suddenly, work arrangements must be made."
Xia Mi picked up the bowl again and signaled Huo Jingchen to continue eating.

The next day, Xia Mi got up early, and now she goes to the space sea every morning to see the fish.
Not sure if it was due to the special space, Xia Mi squatted by the river and looked at the fish in the river. He always felt that they grew much faster than the outside world.
It has only been over two months, and the fry is already weighing more than a pound according to visual inspection.
It was impossible to see in the deep sea area. Xia Mi stood on the small island and looked at the bottomless sea, which was more than 100 square meters. She was in trouble.
[Host, this system supports detecting sea area conditions, and you can spend 1 coin each time to view it. 】
Not a dollar expensive.
Xia Mi immediately spent a dollar to check the seabed situation, and a bunch of professional values appeared, including pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity.
A series of numbers appeared in front of him, and Xia Mi couldn't understand them, so he could only scroll down, and finally saw that the test results were normal.
She only understood the temperature and the test results, but she was relieved when she saw that they were normal.
Xia Mi stayed in the space for an hour before coming out and returning to reality.
Opening the door, the yard is flooded with sunlight. The glare makes people squint subconsciously, followed by high temperatures.
Xia Mi looked at the wilted vegetables, pulled out the weeds first, and then watered the vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen had just finished eating. She was busy feeding the black panther, and Jiang Shengmei and Fan Chunhua had already arrived.
"Xiao Mi, does the black panther eat more than people?"
Seeing the iron basin full of bowls, Fan Chunhua felt her heart bleed as a person who had experienced hardship.
"It was too hot and I had no appetite, so I poured the rice over to it after only a few bites."
The black panther concentrated on eating and didn't care at all that others thought it was too much. When it raised its head again, it found that it had finished the food in the basin and licked its lips with unfinished content.
"Black Panther, you have caught up with the good times. A few years ago, no one had enough to eat like you."
Jiang Shengmei teases Black Panther.
The black panther glanced at the two of them, then found his nest aloofly, as if he knew it was time to take a nap after eating.
"Sister-in-law, you guys sit down first, I'll go and pack things up."
Although it is not the hottest at noon, the sun is definitely the strongest, and there is no way to treat people in the yard.
Fortunately, Xia Mi had boiled the mung bean paste in advance and put a lot of ice cubes in to chill it. She placed it in a thermos bucket. When she opened it, the ice cubes had not yet melted. I filled a bowl for each of my two sisters-in-law, and left the rest for Yaya, uncle, and Lin Qianyue.
Xia Mi brought the mung bean paste to the table, "Sister-in-law, you guys have a try. I made the mung bean paste at noon today. It's hot. Drinking this can just relieve the heat."
Fan Chunhua touched it and said, "Ah, why is this bowl so cold? It's like a popsicle."
"Really, Xia Mi, how did you make it?" Jiang Shengmei quickly touched it and found that the bowl was indeed ice.
"After cooking, let it cool and then put it in well water to chill."
Xia Mi was talking nonsense, but the water in the well was really ice cold now. Fan Chunhua and Jiang Shengmei didn't doubt it, but they just felt that Xia Mi was too meticulous in cooking.
After eating, Xia Mi brought all-purpose flour, eggs, beef, prepared chili noodles, white vinegar, and tools to the living room.
She had marinated the beef last night and would just bake it in it later.
Xia Mi was responsible for the cake alone. He first separated the egg whites from the yolks, and then beat the egg whites until they formed a barb when picked up with chopsticks.
Beat the egg yolk liquid, add sugar and flour, and finally pour some white vinegar to remove the smell, and add it to the beaten egg whites in three batches.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Finally, it was poured into a stainless steel basin. Xia Mi picked up the basin and shook the air bubbles inside.
Because the kiln is so big, it would be too much trouble to bake one cake at once, so Xia Mi planned to make some more cakes.
The mold was bought in a mall, and she told the public that she bought it in Qingcheng.
Zongzi cake is also called old-fashioned chicken cake. Add four eggs and sugar and stir together, then add oil and stir together. Just add flour for the final stir, and then pour it into the mold.
"Xia Mi, you have prepared so much firewood, how long will it take to burn it?"
Jiang Shengmei looked at the firewood piled next to her and asked why Xia Mi was suddenly so diligent a few days ago, looking for firewood everywhere.
Xia Mi was not sure either, so he planned to bake it for forty minutes and keep an eye on the situation.
"Bake it for half an hour first. Sister-in-law, help me get a bench."
Fan Chunhua and Jiang Shengmei rushed to get it.
The next three people sat under the eaves, each holding a cattail leaf fan, moving their mouths and hands.
The cicadas chirped intermittently, making people feel agitated for no reason. Fortunately, Xia Mi cooked a lot of mung bean porridge, and after drinking a bowl, he felt much cooler.
Xia Mi's attention was always on the kiln opposite.
"By the way, Xia Mi, when did you build the pavilion? It looks pretty good. It would be nice to sit in the shade and sleep at night."
It was hot. When Xia Mi was building the kiln, he mentioned to Huo Jingchen that he wanted to build another shelf in the yard. It would be a good choice to sit in the yard to enjoy the coolness and admire the moon at night.
The next day, Huo Jingchen, an activist, brought people to build the pavilion.
I just didn't dare to go to the pavilion in the afternoon. The sun was shining directly on me. If I sat there, I would suffer from heatstroke. I didn't get any shade.
"I don't dare to sleep anymore. The snake I met last time scared me so much. It's good to sit outside at night, enjoy the cool breeze, eat some fruit and watch the moon."
Jiang Shengmei nodded, "Yes, speaking of moon appreciation, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon."
"You have a pavilion here, otherwise the three of us can spend the evening together. Xia Mi leaves the venue, I go to buy vegetables, Chunhua's family cooks, the men are responsible for washing the dishes, and the children are responsible for decorating. It will be lively when there are many people."< br>
Xia Mi did the math and realized that the three families added up to nine people. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the aunt's family would definitely be invited. Twelve people would be too lively.
"I'm fine."
After my aunt's family came, they didn't have the chance to make other friends, and besides, Xia Mi also liked the excitement.
The division of labor is clear, and she doesn't have to work alone like a host entertaining guests.
When Fan Chunhua heard this idea, her eyes instantly lit up, "I don't have any problem with it. This is such a great idea. Sister-in-law, you will find a way."
"
