Chapter 852 Forgetting Time

"Let's think about that later. Write down what desserts you can make so I know. We can't just prepare one kind of dessert for the banquet, otherwise it would be too monotonous."

"Yeah, if I make a new dessert I learned, it would be hard to control the time and quality. Let's choose some desserts that I can make."

"It's okay. If the number of things you can make is not enough, we can learn from others. Anyway, we still have so much time. At worst, we can practice a few more times until we can control the quality."

"Okay, luckily you're here to help me, otherwise I'd be flying around like a headless fly, not knowing what to do."

"It's okay. I'm here to control it. I will definitely not let your promise to Mu Bai be ruined like this."

"That's fine, I'll start writing now."

While Wu You was writing these things, Man Man was not idle either. She picked up her phone and searched online for desserts that looked good and appetizing. After all, these were to be made for the guests at Xiang Xiang's 100-day banquet. They couldn't just taste good, they had to look good too, right? If they didn't look good, who would eat them?

After reading the recipes, Manman collected several desserts at once. As an outsider, she thought that these were not complicated to make and looked good. She planned to show them to Wu You and discuss them together.

After Wu You finished writing, she showed Manman what she knew. While she was talking to Manman, she was eliminating the desserts that would take a long time to prepare.

In the end, there were only three desserts left on the notebook. "These three are definitely not enough. Luckily, I collected some online while you were writing. Wu You, take a look at the recipes they shared to see if they are time-consuming. If not, how about we make some of these? It would be best if I could help, so that we can ensure that everything is done."

After hearing what Manman said, Wu You immediately took the phone and started reading: "Manman, these things you collected are quite useful to me. The things in here are similar to the last few desserts we have left. As long as the cake base is baked and the cream is whipped, we can squeeze them directly into the box and decorate them directly."

"That's very convenient. We can just go to Jiang's house early to prepare the materials, and then I can help you decorate it."

"Okay, but to be on the safe side, I have to practice at home to see how it tastes. If I'm too confident, I'm afraid that it might not taste right because I haven't done it for a long time."

"Of course. I'm here to help you learn in advance. This way, you won't be so flustered on the day of the Hundred Days Banquet."

"Okay, we just finished breakfast and there's nothing to do at home. It's too early to prepare lunch now, so let's get ready now."

Manman was not interested in these things before, but because she wanted to help Wu You, she slowly started to take charge of these things herself.

The two of them were busy in the kitchen. While the oven was running, Wu You was teaching Manman how to whip the cream. Fortunately, they had an egg beater at home, otherwise if the two of them had to do it by hand, who knows how long they would have to wait for the payment.

Things became much more convenient with the help of the machine. Wu You had to take care of the oven and cream by himself, so the task of cutting the fruit was left to Manman.

"Any fruit in the refrigerator will do. Wash some and I'll see which one tastes better."

"Okay."

Manman rummaged through the refrigerator and found seven or eight kinds of fruits in it, including the most basic ones like oranges and mangoes, as well as more advanced ones like avocados and berries of various colors.

Manman didn't know which fruits would go well with the cake, so she washed each fruit as Wu You said, and peeled the oranges and mangoes and cut them into cubes according to Wu You's instructions. Then, after preparing all the fruits to her liking, she placed them in clean small bowls, waiting for Wu You to decide their fates.

After the cake was baked, Wu You squeezed the cream into it after it cooled down. The next step was how to decorate it. While Wu You was still thinking about how to start, Manman began to let herself go and create freely.

Manman's designs gave Wu You a lot of inspiration. After the two of them made some adjustments, they finally knew how to decorate these desserts.

"Just fruit is not enough. Dessert shops also put biscuits, chocolates, and decorative flowers on top. Unfortunately, we don't have that."

"It's okay, we can go out and buy it this afternoon. I think this kind of decoration is very beautiful. You can take a picture with your phone to record it so that we won't forget it tomorrow."

"Well, let's not try it yet. It won't work if it only looks good but doesn't taste good."

"No, I could already smell the fragrance when you were making it just now. How can it not taste good if you add milk and eggs to it?"

"You should try it first, otherwise I won't have the confidence to speak."

Cheng Xiangdi saw that the two of them had been in the kitchen and hadn't come out yet, so he came over to check out the situation. After seeing Cheng Xiangdi coming, Manman pulled him over and started singing with him. With one more person, there would be more opinions.

Cheng Xiangdi was not interested in these things, but when he saw the two people working so hard for so long and they were looking at him with expectant eyes, Cheng Xiangdi couldn't say the words of refusal no matter what.

After tasting the food, Cheng Xiangdi felt that the dessert made by Wu You and the others tasted good. The highest level of praise for a dessert is that it is not sweet. Cheng Xiangdi and Manman also gave this evaluation of the food made by Wu You.

"It's delicious. The key is that what we make is not sweet or greasy at all."

"really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you'll know if you try it yourself. Wu You, you see, even uncles who don't like desserts are almost finishing this one, which means it's really delicious."

Cheng Xiangdi said that he wanted to try other flavors of desserts. Wu You saw this and quickly stopped him: "Uncle, don't come out. Don't you dislike eating these things? Don't give me face like this, right? Uncle, are you hungry?"

After Wu You reminded Manman, she realized that it was already noon. In order to finish these things, they forgot to look at the time and forgot to prepare lunch.

"It would be a waste if we don't eat all this food. You guys don't have time to prepare lunch, so why don't we eat these for lunch?"

"No, that won't work. Eating too much of these things is not good. Although we made them ourselves without adding any preservatives, flour and butter are still not good. Besides, uncle is also working out, so he should eat less of these things."

"Let's clean up right now and prepare to cook."

"It feels like we're still not in enough time." The kitchen was messed up by the two of them. It would take time to clean it up, and it would also take time to start cooking now. By the time lunch is ready, they will definitely be too hungry.

"Can we have some fruit to cushion the pain?"

"That's fine. There are still a lot of green leafy vegetables in the refrigerator that can be eaten raw. How about I wash them and mix them with the fruit to make a salad?"
