I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 1072 The Cake is Baked and Everyone Enjoys It

There were over a hundred boxes, more than twenty cabinets, and even more boxes and chests, plus drawers of all sizes... It's impossible to check them all in a short time.

Besides, we need to rush out of Beijing to Banshan Manor in a while, and return home that same day. The day is already quite tight!

Leng Rongyue thought for a moment and said to the members of Anguo Public, "Grandpa, Uncle, Big Brother, there are just too many things here, too messy, and too complicated. We can't sort them out in a short time."

Moreover, His Highness Prince Yu will be bringing the Emperor and Empress over soon, and we need to rush out of the capital to Banshan Manor and return the same day, so time is very tight.

Also, the sleeping pills I put in the residences of Vice Minister Jiang and Prince Yi should wear off in less than an hour, and the people in their residences should gradually wake up.

When they wake up and find that all their valuables have been stolen, they will definitely go to the Shuntian Prefecture government office to report the case or to the palace to report the news!

So, once His Highness Prince Yi, the Emperor, and the Empress arrive, we'll set off immediately and leave the capital as soon as possible. Let those two households go looking for whomever they want, let them make as much of a mess as they want, we don't care!

As for these things... let's leave them for now. Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt should go in and sit down and rest for a while.

Big brother, could you please pick some more fruit from the back garden so we can take some to eat on the road? There will be many people and distractions on the way out of Beijing, so it won't be convenient for me to freely enter and exit my spatial dimension.

Everyone agreed that it made sense and nodded in agreement.

Duke Anguo, Fu Peng, nodded and said, "Yue'er is right."

Whether it's Vice Minister Jiang or Prince Yi's residence, let them worry about the lost items first!

Even the case of the loss of property from the Marquis of Qinxing's residence is still on the record at the Shuntian Prefecture, let alone the fact that they only lost their property today.

As for when they'll be found, and whether they'll even be found at all, let them wait and see what fate has in store for them!

After hearing what Duke Anguo Fu Peng said, everyone thought about it and couldn't help but laugh.

The group put down what they were carrying and walked into the small building.

Returning to this space, the feeling is different from the first time. Everything in front of me is no longer unfamiliar, but familiar.

Upon entering the main living room, the patriarch Fu Yinglan, familiar with the place, first went to the restroom on one side.

Everyone else sat down on the sofa;

The eldest son, Fu Mingjun, went straight through the living room to the orchard behind to pick fruit.

Leng Rongyue thought for a moment and calculated the time... They had only been inside for a short while, and they had been outside for at most the time it takes for an incense stick or two to burn. There was still some time before Xiao Jingyu and the others arrived!

So, Leng Rongyue went straight to the kitchen, took out a dozen eggs and a bag of low-gluten flour, as well as milk, white sugar, custard powder and vanilla extract... and laid them out in a jumbled mess.

Then I took out two clean, oil-free stainless steel bowls, put egg whites in one and egg yolks in the other.

The two sisters-in-law, Huo Chanyu and Zheng Suyao, watched Leng Rongyue busy in the kitchen, wondering what new dishes she was making. Curious, they pulled Old Madam Xue along to the kitchen to see Leng Rongyue.

"Moon, what are you doing?"

"Madam Huo Chanyu asked."

Leng Rongyue turned around and smiled, "Aunt, I'm going to make a chiffon cake so we can take it with us on the road!"

"Chiffon...cake?"

Second wife Zheng Suyao said she had never heard of it.

"Yes, chiffon cake is fragrant and soft. I'll make it in a little while, and Grandma and Auntie will know once they try it. I guarantee you'll love it!"

"I believe what Yue'er says!"

"Nothing Yue'er makes is ever bad!"

Second wife Zheng Suyao had long since become a fan of her niece!

Next, Madam Xue, First Madam Huo Chanyu, and Second Madam Zheng Suyao stood beside Leng Rongyue, watching her actions with wide-eyed curiosity...

Add sugar, milk, custard powder, and vanilla extract to the egg yolks, along with a pinch of salt. Mix well, then gradually sift in the cake flour and slowly fold it in until a pale yellow batter forms. Set aside.

Then comes the big task of beating the egg whites!

The three women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, stared at each other, their eyes widening in disbelief

The egg whites were clearly transparent, but after adding a little sugar, they turned into a white paste after beating for a while.

Add more granulated sugar and beat for a while longer; the egg white mixture will become even whiter and thicker.

Add granulated sugar again and whip quickly. The egg whites completely lost their original shape and were whipped to the point that they could stand up with chopsticks. There was more than half a bowl of them!

Next, mix the egg white batter and egg yolk batter together in three batches. Finally, pour the well-mixed batter into a large square pan lined with parchment paper, tap it to release the air, and you'll see many bubbles rise to the surface and then burst.

With the remaining batter, Leng Rongyue made over twenty more cupcakes.

Leng Rongyue took out some raisins and sprinkled them evenly on the batter. The raisins slowly sank into the batter, and the surface returned to its smooth state.

The oven was preheated. Leng Rongyue placed the large plate filled with batter and the paper cups filled with batter into the oven, set the top and bottom temperatures, and started baking.

"That'll be fine?"

Second Madam Zheng Suyao bent down to look at the lit oven and asked curiously.

"Okay, that's fine."

Wait a moment, and you'll hear a 'ding' sound; that means the time is up, and the cake is done baking!

The three women, including Madam Xue and her daughters-in-law, found everything amazing and interesting. Not wanting to sit in the living room, they simply sat in the kitchen watching the oven.

Soon, a rich, sweet aroma filled the kitchen... and the aroma could be smelled not only in the kitchen, but also in the living room outside.

Driven by curiosity, Duke Anguo Fu Peng and his two sons, along with his eldest son Fu Mingjun who had just returned from picking fruit, all came to the kitchen following the aroma.

"Moon, what delicious thing have you made this time?"

The eldest son, Fu Mingjun, leaned over and asked.

"Make a cake!"

Yue'er said this is called chiffon cake, and that it's soft, fluffy, fragrant, and delicious!

Before Leng Rongyue could speak, Second Madam Zheng Suyao answered first.

Several grown men, staring at the lit oven and smelling the sweet aroma, stayed put. They all found chairs at the dining table, sat down, and chatted while keeping an eye on the oven.

Watching the batter slowly solidify, puff up, and change color in the oven...

After everyone had been talking for a while, they heard a crisp "ding" sound.

Second Madam Zheng Suyao remembered what Leng Rongyue had said earlier, and jumped up immediately upon hearing the sound, "Yue'er, didn't you say that if you hear a 'ding' sound, the cake is done?"

"Quickly check if it's cooked!"

Leng Rongyue stood up with a smile, "It should be cooked!"

Leng Rongyue put on two thick gloves, opened the oven door, took out the baking tray and placed it on the rack next to her, and also took out the cupcakes to cool.

Everyone crowded around, staring in amazement at the plump, fragrant... oh, chiffon cake...

"I've already had breakfast, and it's only been a little while, but smelling this... why do I feel... hungry again!"

Second Madam Zheng Suyao's words amused everyone.

Leng Rongyue placed the cake on the shelf and shook it to release the air. Using a special long knife, she cut the cake into squares and triangles, then arranged the cut cakes on plates and packed them into three large boxes.

Leng Rongyue took out some cupcakes for everyone to try, and they tasted the same as the big cake.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, Big Brother, come and try this cake! Isn't it delicious?"
