Speaking of this matter, Zhiji felt a little sad and said: "My parents died early. When I couldn't survive, it was the young lady who saved me and brought me back to the house. She never took me seriously.

Become a servant."

Gao Yejing didn't expect that Zhiji was an orphan. Seeing that it brought back bad memories for Zhiji, he quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to mention your sadness."

"King Jing's words are serious."

Zhi Ji turned to Gao Yejing and smiled.

Looking at Zhiji who was obviously sad but still pretending to be strong, Gao Yejing felt a little distressed.

In the carriage.

"Xiao Wan'er, what gift do you want for your birthday today?" Gao Yeyun looked at Wen Wan with a smile and asked.

Wen Wan was actually a little touched. Even though today was not his birthday, it was still very useful. He said, "Actually, I don't need anything. If you can help me celebrate, I will be very happy."

"How can this work? You are the birthday boy today. No matter what you want, I will do it for you." Gao Yeyun rarely looked serious.

Wen Wan thought about it and realized that she had never had a decent birthday. She had experienced similar experiences to her original owner since she was a child. Her mother passed away early, and her father married her stepmother and gave birth to a daughter.

She was not favored since she was a child, and no one even remembered her birthday.

Whenever I see my half-sister celebrating her birthday, the thing I envy the most is the big cake.

Later, when I grew up and had the ability to work and support myself, I bought myself the first cake on my birthday. However, eating it alone would inevitably make me feel lonely.

"Well, I really want to eat cake now. Do you have any idea?" Wen Wan looked at Gao Yeyun with a smile, knowing that it is impossible to buy cake in this era.

"Cake?" Gao Yeyun was worried. Wen Wan would always say something he had never heard of, "Xiao Wan'er, what is that? Can you tell me where I can buy it?"

"You can't buy it. It's a kind of pastry, very sweet." Wen Wan shook her head.

"Then what should you do? I can ask the chef to cook it for you." Gao Yeyun said.

After Gao Yeyun's reminder, Wen Wan also remembered that he could make cakes by himself, and said with a smile: "Then your cook will know my secret recipe again."

"Xiao Wan'er, why are your mind full of strange things, and you don't know where you learned them."

Gao Yeyun said.

"I came up with it all in my head, I'm smart!"

Wen Wan smiled and brushed off the question.

When Wen Wan arrived at Prince Yun's Mansion, as soon as Wen Wan walked in, he saw that the palace was filled with lanterns and colorful decorations, looking very happy.

"Did you prepare this early in the morning?"

Wen Wan was so moved when he saw everything in front of him that he forgot to ask Gao Yeyun how he learned about his birthday so early in the morning.

"Yes, does Xiao Wan'er like it?"

Gao Yeyun asked with a smile.

"Well, thank you." Wen Wan felt Gao Yeyun's sincerity and thanked him.

"It's ridiculous to say thank you. You are my princess! Of course I want to be nice to you." Gao Yeyun curled his lips, not happy with Wen Wan's thank you.

Wen Wan smiled and suddenly felt that Gao Yeyun was still very cute, even though he was a little silly.

"Xiao Wan'er, don't you want to make some cake?" Gao Yeyun said.

Gao Yejing, who was beside him, heard this and asked doubtfully: "What are you going to say again? What is the second sister-in-law going to do?"

"Cake, I just heard from Xiao Wan'er that it is a kind of cake that should be eaten on birthdays. I really have never heard of it."

Gao Yeyun scratched his head and said he didn't know either.

"You will know when I finish it." Wen Wan smiled, looking forward to his results.

Arriving at the kitchen, the cook called out respectfully as soon as he saw Wen Wan: "See you, Princess! Congratulations to the Princess on her happy birthday."

Wen Wan looked at the happy look on the cook's face and said, "Thank you. Today is my birthday. I will teach you another secret recipe for dessert. Do you want to learn it?"

Given such an opportunity, the cook quickly nodded and expressed that he wanted to learn.

"Do you have milk here?" Wen Wan asked with a little hope, but according to her observations, there were no cows at all in this era.

Sure enough, seeing the surprised look on the cook's face, Wen Wan knew it must be gone.

If there is no milk, there is no way to make cream. Wen Wan frowned and thought of a substitute.

"Xiao Wan'er, can you look at the goat milk?"

Gao Yeyun remembered that when he was in the border town, he would see many people in the border area milking goats for drinking. He didn't know how this was different from the milk Wen Wan mentioned.

Goat milk?

"Okay, but do we have it here?" Yes is better than nothing, although the taste is a little stronger.

"What a coincidence, when I came back this time I brought two back just for fun, and they are in the house!" Gao Yejing said. It was rare to see interesting things, so he thought of bringing them back, but unexpectedly they came in handy.

.

"Seventh brother, I have never thought you are as cute as you are now." Gao Yeyun said with a smile.

"If you say I'm cute, I won't lend you any sheep!" Gao Yejing curled his lips.

Gao Yeyun ignored it and hurriedly asked someone to milk the goat.

When Wen Wan got the goat's milk, she smelled it. The smell was indeed fishy.

"Okay, now put the goat milk aside for later use. Let's make the cake embryo first." Wen Wan looked around the kitchen and said, "Get the raw materials ready. We still need ten eggs, three pounds of flour, and one pound of sugar."

As Wen Wan said, the cook had prepared the ingredients according to the instructions.

"Now, we need to separate the egg yolk and egg white. Do you know how to do this?" Wen Wan asked the cook.

"Don't worry, Princess, I can still do this." The cook said with a smile.

As he said that, the cook took out two large basins, cracked the eggs, then skillfully separated the egg yolks and egg whites and put them in two different basins.

"Very good, now mix the sugar with water, pour a little more goat milk, put the egg yolk in, mix evenly, then add the flour and mix it into a paste."

The cook followed the instructions one by one, and Wen Wan thought about it and said, "Do you have any baking powder?"

"What is baking powder?" The cook didn't understand.

"It's what you use to make steamed buns to make them bigger and puffier." Wen Wan didn't know what baking powder should be called in ancient times.

"Is the princess talking about alkaline noodles?" the cook asked.

"That's it, I guess. Just put an appropriate amount of alkaline noodles in and stir them together." Wen Wan said.

Watching Wen Wan busy at work, Gao Yeyun and Gao Yejing could not help at all and could only watch from the side.

The cook did a good job. Wen Wan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Now pour the batter into the container and steam it into a round shape of about this size."

Wen Wan made a gesture with his hand.

The cook thought about it, found a similar container, and asked: "Princess, is this okay for you?"

Although it was not satisfactory, Wen Wan still nodded.

Put the cake batter in and steam it, and Wen Wan is about to start making cream.

The cook was lighting the fire, so the cook continued to help Wen Wan make butter.

"This step is very simple, just put some sugar in it and keep stirring. However, you have to spend a lot of effort until it turns into white foam, and it must be turned upside down without dripping.

, do you know?"

Wen Wan looked at the cook and asked.

"Okay, I will cook it carefully." The cook really didn't know that egg whites could turn into white foam.

"Xiao Wan'er, what is the white foam? Can it still be eaten?" Gao Yeyun was a little curious.

"Of course, it's not only edible, but also very delicious. I believe you will like it." Gao Yeyun likes sweets so much, so he will definitely like cream.

"Does this white foam have a name?"

Gao Yeyun asked.

"Of course there is, it's called cream." Wen Wan watched as the cook began to stir.

"Second sister-in-law, the name you mentioned is really interesting, and the things you do are also very interesting." Gao Yejing said with a smile. "This is a very common thing. As long as you have seen it more, it will not be surprising." Wen Wan

Clap your hands and wait for the cook to whip the cream.

Without a whisk, beating the cream is a very laborious task, but I am used to doing tiring work as a cook, so I have a lot of strength.

Looking at the white foam, the cook was also very surprised and shouted: "Princess, there is foam!"

Wen Wan came over to take a look and found that it was really good. He said, "Just beat it for a while and it will be almost done."

Seeing such a magical thing, Gao Yeyun and others were also shocked. They did not expect that such a thing would appear again.

After the cook finished cooking, Gao Yeyun walked over to take a look and asked: "Xiao Wan'er, are you sure this is edible?"

"Of course you can, do you want to try it?" Wen Wan took a spoonful and asked.

Gao Yeyun looked at Wen Wan suspiciously, and seeing the expectant look on her face, he couldn't bear to refuse. He frowned, lowered his head and took a sip.

"Wow! It tastes good!" Gao Yeyun had never eaten anything so delicious before and said, "Xiao Wan'er, I'll eat a little more."

"Is it really that delicious? Second brother, are you lying to me?"

Gao Yejing didn't believe that something so white and flowery could be so delicious, so he took a bite and his eyes flashed with surprise.

"Second sister-in-law, how did you come up with the idea that it tastes so delicious?"

Gao Yejing is not a person who likes sweets very much, but after tasting the cream, he felt that this soft and fine food has a unique taste and is really the best among sweets.

The royal chefs in the palace may not have such skills.

"It's just blind research." Wen Wan smiled, "It seems that the results are pretty good."

"It's not just good, it's simply the best in the world." Gao Yejing said exaggeratedly.

Gao Yeyun on the side didn't bother to talk and kept eating cream. Wen Wan saw it and said: "I can't eat anymore. If I continue to eat, I'm afraid there won't be enough to decorate the cake."
