Chapter 66: Birthday Cake

About ten minutes later, Feng Junwei came over, still holding his crying son whose eyes were swollen. He apologized to Han Aiguo and Su Yue apologizing: "Patriotic, younger brother and sister, I'm really sorry today. It's because this stinky boy in my family is ignorant, and my child's mother is also ignorant, making my younger siblings wronged today. I’ve educated them, and now I’m bringing this stinky boy to apologize to you."
Feng Junwei is not as unreasonable as Fang Xiaoli. He just learned about the situation outside. He was shocked when he heard that Su Yue was almost slipped and fell by his son's marbles. If a pregnant woman fell down the stairs, it would be fine. It is a dead body and two lives, and there is really no way to explain it. Fortunately, it did not cause a catastrophe in the end.
Originally, the child’s mother made a sincere apology for this matter. I believe that Su Yue would not hold on to a child reluctantly. As a result, the child’s mother didn’t make sense, and just blindly guarded the child. This is how it is now. .
This child was spoiled by his grandfather and grandmother, and he was spoiled lawlessly. That's why he took the child back from his grandfather's house against all opinions. If he didn't take it back, the child would be adopted and abandoned. But no one thought that he would have caused such a big deal on the first day after receiving it back! I'm really mad at him.
Feng Junwei was so angry that he slapped his son again and shouted, "Hurry up and apologize!"
Feng Zitao was staggered and wanted to cry, but he was afraid that his father would hit him again, so he reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."
Su Yue could see that Feng Junwei apologized sincerely, and the child was beaten firmly, and the child also came to apologize. What else can she and Han Aiguo say now? Is it possible to catch people and children scolding or beating?
Su Yue waved her hand and said, "Company Captain Feng, today this matter is over, but in the future, you have to tell your children to stop playing marbles on the stairs. It's too dangerous."
"Sure!" Feng Junwei hurriedly promised, "I have already educated, this stinky boy will never dare to play with these on the stairs anymore. If I dare to do this in the future, I will break his leg."
Su Yue stopped pursuing it anymore and asked Feng Junwei to take the child back home.
Han Aiguo didn't speak from beginning to end, and Su Yue could see that he was still angry.
She touched his face and coaxed him: "Okay, don't be angry, I'll be careful next time, be careful, this kind of thing won't happen again, you see I'm fine now, you smile~"
Han Aiguo couldn't laugh, he was still clutching tightly in his heart, as long as he thought of the danger she had just faced, he couldn't relax.
Su Yue raised her head and kissed his Adam's apple, "Oh, you are going to scare the baby with a sullen face, and the baby's mother is also scared. You smile~"
Han Aiguo twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally showed an ugly smile. But after all, he was not at ease, so he laid her down, covered her with a quilt, and said that he was going to head Yu's house and asked Xu Can to come and show her.
Su Yue knew that he would not be relieved not to let the doctor show him, so she didn't stop him and let him go.
After a while, Han Aiguo brought Xu Can over.
Xu Can took Su Yue's pulse, checked it carefully, and said, "The child is fine. It's just that I'm shocked, so I don't have any energy. Just rest for two days. Don't worry."
Listening to her saying that Han Aiguo was completely relieved, and his face was not as ugly as before, so he went out to cook dinner and let the two women talk.
Xu Can said: "I just heard about it. It's really thrilling. Next time you walk, you have to watch the road. There are many children in this compound, and many of them are very skinny. Maybe next time they play bombs. Beads are hard to guard against. You still have to be careful. Pregnant women can't make jokes."
Su Yue also tasted it this time. She nodded with lingering fear, "I know now. This time I was too careless. I don't know how to pay attention to my feet. Fortunately, it's okay. Next time I will definitely look at my feet."
"Just pay attention, don't be too nervous. Look, I brought you good things." Xu Can said and showed Su Yue the canned bottle he brought with him. "My mother pickled this by herself. The sour plums are especially appetizing. They are very suitable for pregnant women who have no appetite when they are pregnant. I ordered some of them. Don’t you think that you can’t eat anything? You can eat this.
The canned bottle was filled with sour plums. Su Yue immediately unscrewed the cap and took out one to taste. The taste was sour and sweet, especially delicious.
This is another thing that makes her feel particularly delicious besides sour radish, and it is not nauseous at all.
Su Yue couldn't help but took another one and stuffed it into her mouth, eating with relish, her eyes narrowed with happiness.
Xu Can watched her eating bite after bite, her eyes narrowed involuntarily, and it seemed that her teeth were about to fall out of acid. The pregnant woman had an abnormal appetite, so she could eat it so sour.
Su Yue ate a dozen or so in a row before she reluctantly closed the bottle cap, "Thank you Sister Xu Can, this is really delicious, and thank you Auntie for helping me."
Xu Can waved her hand and suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of my mother, I would like to ask you a favor. It will be my mother's 50th birthday in a few days. Our family intends to give her a small birthday. I know what to bring on the day I go back. My mother also has money, and my mother doesn’t lack such things as canned snacks, but last time I took the cakes and snacks you gave me back to my mother. She was very happy to eat. Even said it’s delicious. Otherwise, sister, take the time to cook for me, and I’ll bring some pastries home."
Su Yue thought for a while and said, "Auntie has a birthday, so it’s not good for you to bring some snacks back. There must be something wrong. Otherwise, I will make you a birthday cake and you can bring it to Auntie for her birthday."
"Birthday cake?" Xu Can hasn't eaten this yet, so he couldn't help being curious, "What is a birthday cake? What kind of one?"
In this era, cream cakes are not as popular in China as later generations. It is estimated that the top talents have eaten foreign cream cakes. Even fewer people have seen things like birthday cakes. No wonder Xu Can doesn't know.
Su Yue explained to her in detail: "Birthday cake is a kind of cream cake, round, one as big as a face plate, and topped with cream. When you celebrate your birthday, you can cut it and taste it together. The purpose is to celebrate others. Birthday. So it’s called birthday cake."
Xu Can's eyes brightened when she heard it, and she was so curious that she wanted to taste it right away, "It must be delicious, right?"
Su Yue nodded, "It's really delicious, especially women and children like to eat." It's easy to get fat, and girls don't dare to eat easily, but for people who lack food and drink, there is no need to worry about it. , The people here want to get fat.
"That's it!" Xu Can immediately folded his hands and made a request, "Then Su Yue, help me make one, please, please~"
"Okay." Su Yue agreed, "I'll make it for you the day after tomorrow. The cake can't be left for long. It's better to eat fresh ones."
Xu Can hurriedly went to his pocket and took out all the food stamps and money from his pocket. The total was three catties of food stamps, one catty of non-staple food stamps, and three yuan, which he gave to Su Yue all his head. I don’t know if it’s enough. Don’t be embarrassed to say it. I’ll bring it to you when I go home. I know that making that cake is nothing but white noodles and sugar. You must charge it, I can’t ask you for nothing.
"Enough is enough, that's it." Su Yue accepted the money and food stamps, and did not generously say not to accept them. After all, the times are different. In later generations, she will definitely give them generously, but in this era , A cake requires a lot of flour, eggs, sugar, oil and other ingredients. These things are good things. The key is to limit them. Just making one may give all their food stamps this month. If they don't accept it, she and Han Aiguo will have to eat coarse grains and porridge every day.

Su Yue's body was fine after resting at home for two days, and she continued to be alive and kicking again. Then she set about making cakes for Xu Can.
At this time, there is no oven and ready-made materials. I want to make cakes by hand, especially for the cream, which requires manual mixing of the egg mixture. After stirring for a long time, Su Yue almost scrapped his hands before finally beating the cream. Come out, and then adjust the taste of the cream bit by bit, adding a lot of ingredients to make the taste almost the same.
A cake was made in a short time before, but now it’s done for a whole day, but the effort pays off. The cake made is similar to the modern one, and the taste is only a little worse. After Su Yue tasted it herself It still feels delicious.
Su Yue made a birthday peach with cream on the top of the cake to express her birthday, and then wrote the words in red jam: Happy birthday to Ms. Jiang!
Xu Can's mother's surname is Jiang.
When the cake is done, you can’t just hold it and pack it, but there is no special cake packaging box, so I put the cake in a carton box of exactly the same size at home and put the lid on. Although it is not good-looking, there is no way.
Xu Can brought Nini over to pick up the cake the next day. When Su Yue opened the carton to her, she couldn't help but "wow" like a child, "So beautiful, and it smells so good. Ah, I want to eat it now."
Nini also tiptoed and stretched her head vigorously to look in, and kept sniffing her nose, "Mom, I want to eat cake."
Xu Can hurriedly closed the box so that her daughter would not be too greedy, so she calmed the little girl and said, "I can't eat it now. I have to take it to my grandma's house. Will I give you a large piece?"
Nini bowed her face regretfully, but kept her eyes on the cake.
Xu Can couldn't help asking Su Yue: "Su Yue, are the tickets and money I gave you really enough? Why do I feel that it is not enough? This cake is so big and delicious, it must have cost a lot of things. You can't post it upside down, then I am embarrassed."
"Enough is enough. You only gave me a lot. Don't look at this cake so big. In fact, the cake inside is very fluffy. It doesn't use as much flour as you think." Su Yue was telling the truth. Xu Can gave a lot of tickets and money. She made a small profit. Han Aiguo gave a limited number of tickets every month. She made a lot of pastries before, and all the tickets in her hand were spent. I have to live frugally, but with the votes given by Xu Can, it's a lot better.
Hearing what she said, Xu Can took Nini away happily. She thought her mother would definitely like this present of her.
In the evening, Xu Can happily came to Su Yue's place. When he saw Su Yue, he said cheerfully, "Su Yue, I told you that the cake today is so delicious. No one who ate it didn't give a thumbs up. , The children who came today didn’t have enough to eat one piece, and they still had to eat it one by one. As a result, there was nothing left of such a big cake."
Xu Can said there was a little regret, "I originally planned to keep a little bit, but the people who came here ate it all. Seeing that there was no cake left, the little girl Nini was so greedy that she was crying, yelling for her birthday. Want a birthday cake."
Su Yue smiled and said: "Okay, I will make another one for Nini for her birthday."
Xu Can: "Then this little Nizi is expected to be crazy about expectation, and now she has to count the days at home every day, waiting for her birthday."
After saying this, Xu Can smiled, approached Su Yue slightly, and whispered: "Today a relative of my family likes to eat your cakes, and asked where I bought them, I said that a neighbor made them for me. Yes. After he heard this, he said that an elder in his family will have a life expectancy in a few days, so let me ask if you can help him make one. He is willing to pay food stamps and money."
Su Yue was very excited when she heard that, but she was a little hesitant, "This... won't be said of anything." Is it speculation?
Xu Can knew what she was worried about, and shook her head and said, "No, you pass my hand, and neither I nor the person who bought it will tell you, and even if others know it, it’s just a food stamp and Money lets you do it for you. It's a matter for friends to do a favor, and it's not a sale. Others can't hold on to anything."
Hearing what Xu Can said about Su Yue, I felt relieved. After all, Xu Can was also involved. With Xu Can's status, she said nothing would be fine.
In this case, Su Yue agreed, and now there is no way to do business. It happens to earn some food stamps and money to subsidize the family through this method. Otherwise, in terms of the monthly ticket issued by Han Aiguo, it is really not enough and used up. You have to eat whole grains, which can’t fill your stomach.
Xu Can didn’t want Su Yue to suffer, so she said,
I told my relative and asked him to give you three catties of food stamps and one catty of non-staple food stamps, plus another five yuan. Do you see enough? I let him add it."
Su Yue nodded, "Enough is enough, just so much. When will he want it? I will make it for you one day in advance."
"He wants it in five days. You will give it to me when the time comes and he will come to me to get it."
"Okay, then I will go to the supply and marketing agency tomorrow to buy some flour, egg whites and so on. I will have no more at home."
"You are pregnant. Don't go out and run. If you hurt your child, it will be bad. Tell me what you want and I will bring it to you from the commune. Anyway, I have to go to the commune to work every day. "
Now that she said that, Su Yue wrote down what she needed and gave it to her, so she could bring it back.
Through this incident, Su Yue found another way to make money. Although he can't cook food and sell it, he can do it at home. If someone pays food stamps and money, it is equivalent to helping others process it. Friends help to cook and eat. You can make money and you don’t have to worry about being reported as speculation by some people. The best of both worlds.
And she only needs to do it at home, and it saves the fatigue of going out and running, which is quite suitable for her.
Because of this, Su Yue is more careful in making cakes, trying his best to make the cakes taste the best, and make the cakes look better. People will like them only when they are delicious and look good, and they will come. Ask her to make a custom cake. When the time comes, her business will not worry her.
She calculated an account. She can earn two catties of food coupons and four yuan for a cake. Even if she only makes five cakes a month, she can earn ten catties of food coupons and 20 yuan. Now she works all day in the city. The worker of's can only make about 30 yuan a month. She can make five cakes only by making five cakes at home, which is quite satisfactory to her.
Because Su Yue made the taste of the cake so delicious, the scent drifted out along the window and door, and everyone who smelled it swallowed. The first thing that smelled was Fang Xiaoli's house next door.
Fang Xiaoli’s son Feng Zitao smelled the smell at home, so he didn’t want to play with it. He kept sniffing his nose to find where the scent was. But after looking for it, he found the door of Su Yue’s house. He squeezed his nose at the door. Fragrance, I finally determined that the alluring fragrance came from this house.
He ran home immediately, holding his thigh and began to order delicious food, "Mom, I want to eat delicious food, you go and ask for it."
Fang Xiaoli: "What do you want to eat, I will bring you from the supply and marketing agency."
Feng Zitao pointed to the door and said, "I want to eat something made by the next door. His family is delicious, and his family must be making some food. Mom, go and ask me to come back."
When Fang Xiaoli heard that she was next door, she thought that she was beaten by her husband a few days ago because of Su Yue’s own son, and even she was reprimanded by him. She was upset, and she immediately shook her head and said,
I don’t know what people do. Give it to us! Mom will bring you canned food and sugar from the supply and marketing agency tomorrow."
Feng Zitao quit as soon as he heard that, he immediately sat on the ground and danced wildly on all fours, screaming, "No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm going to eat the things made next door, the canned food doesn't have the fragrance of his family, mom, go and give me Yes, I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Fang Xiaoli went to pull him up, but was kicked several times by his kicking legs. In the end, she was so angry that she didn't care about him. Anyway, she didn't let go.
She and Su Yue have now forged a big beam. Where can she pull her face down and take the initiative to ask for something to eat, then she must not be laughed at by Su Yue.
Feng Zitao was rolling and crying and didn't let his mother let go. In the end, he was so angry that he didn't even want to come out with the door closed. Fang Xiaoli was so distressed that he coaxed him out to eat outside the door. .
As a result, Feng Junwei, who was going home, saw this scene. He was so angry that he slammed the door open and dragged Feng Zitao out of the room. Despite Fang Xiaoli's obstruction, he gave the boy a big beating, and beat the kid so much. .
Fang Xiaoli was so distressed that she immediately went to work with Feng Junwei, crying, making trouble and scolding, and her voice spread to the next door, making Su Yue and Han Aiguo also uneasy.
