Chapter 281 Making Cookies
Chapter 281 Making Cookies
Meiya was looking through a book on making cookies with great interest today. She found this book from Mingxu.
"Well, sometimes it's nice to change your mood and do something you haven't done before. This cookie looks good. How about making cookies yourself? It seems very interesting. By the way, wasn't making cookies one of my dreams before I got married?" At this point, Meiya immediately rolled up her sleeves.
But then she changed her mind and turned to look inside the house and shouted, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Xin, come out for a moment~"
"What?" Mingxu's voice was heard, followed by Xiaoxin. The two of them poked their heads out in confusion, and following behind them was Xiaokui's little head.
"Hey, come here." Meiya waved at them.
"Okay." The three of them looked at each other, walked over, sat in front of Meiya, waiting for Meiya's next words.
"Hey, Xiaoxu, Xiaoxin, let's do something fun together." Mei Ya said with a grin.
"Interesting things?" Mingxu glanced at the book in front of Meiya and scratched his head: "Mom, are you going to make cookies?"
"Yes, do you want to make cookies with mom?" Meiya said with a smile.
"Cookies? I prefer chocolate cookies." Shin-chan scratched his head.
"What you want is chocolate bears, right?" Mingxu complained.
"Just buy this kind." Meiya shook her head.
"Since you can buy it, why should you make it yourself?" Xiaoxin asked puzzledly.
"This is fun. We make our own cookies and can make them in various shapes. You can't buy this kind of cookies in the market." Mingxu replied with a smile.
"Yes, and this kind of cookies is made by you and your mother together, and it is full of everyone's love." Meiya followed Mingxu's words and said.
"? Cookies that can't be sold." Shin-chan curled his lips.
"It's that there's nothing to sell, not that it can't be sold." Mingxu shook his head and corrected.
“Can’t others buy it even if they want to?”
"We made it ourselves, why would anyone else buy it?" Mingxu spread his hands.
"It feels weird." Shin-chan scratched his head.
"Okay, let's start preparing to make cookies." Meiya stood up and stretched her waist.
Putting Xiaokui aside to play, Mingxu and Xiaoxin followed Meiya into the kitchen, turned out the pots and pans, and took out some flour, eggs, and some seasonings.
"Hehe. The preparations have been made." Meiya looked at the things on the table and nodded with satisfaction.
"We're ready too." After putting on their aprons, the two rolled up their sleeves and shouted.
"Okay, then let's start making cookies!" Meiya nodded with satisfaction.
In a large bowl, mix the room temperature softened butter and sugar, and use a mixer to stir until it turns white and becomes a creamy paste. Then Meiya adds an egg and continues stirring.
"Once these are mixed, you can add the flour." Mingxu thought about the steps in the book and said.
"That's right." Meiya nodded, took the sieve and sifted the flour, and the flour fell into the bowl like snowflakes.
"Hehe, does it really look like it's snowing?" Meiya laughed as she looked at the scene in front of her.
"Really, it really looks like it's snowing." Shin-chan looked closer and nodded in agreement.
"Well, while making cookies with the children and playing with them, I finally fulfilled a little wish of mine." Meiya closed her eyes and smiled.
"Well, the next step is to continue stirring." Mingxu said, touching his chin. Xiaoxin took the book over at some point and fanned the flour that was being sifted. The flour immediately flew all over Meiya's face, and her whole face was covered in white. Some of her hair was also stained.
"Xiao Xin!" Mingxu turned his head and looked at Xiao Xin. He didn't dodge it just now, and the flour got on his face!
"Oh, Xiaoxu, why are your faces covered with flour?" Xiaoxin said deliberately.
"Don't you think about who is responsible for this?" Mingxu rubbed his hands and looked at Xiaoxin.
"Okay, wash it and continue making cookies. I will never give up easily!" Meiya suddenly became excited and looked full of fighting spirit.
"Mom seems a little different from usual." Mingxu and Xiaoxin looked at each other.
"Come on, Xiaoxu, Xiaoxin, help your mother knead the dough!" Meiya looked at the two children, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in her eyes.
"Okay." The two nodded, then Meiya divided the dough she had just made into two halves, handed it to them and said, "You have to knead it slowly like this, and then the dough will slowly become very tough. Come on, try it." After Meiya demonstrated, she handed the dough to the two brothers.
"Okay." The two of them reached in and started kneading the dough. Mingxu's progress was very smooth, while Xiaoxin kneaded and kneaded and pinched hard, and the dough squeezed out from between his fingers like noodles.
"Hehe, it looks like noodles." Xiaoxin laughed as he looked at what he squeezed out.
"Shin-chan, don't do that. It looks dirty." Misae stopped Shin-chan.
"I've washed my hands." Xiao Xin continued to rub.
"That was not what I meant."
"what does that mean?"
"What mom means is that you shouldn't treat the dough like this. Let it quickly become the shape it should be. This is its mission." Mingxu explained simply.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Xiaoxin nodded, and as expected, he stopped playing and kneaded the dough seriously with Mingxu.
"Hey, it's a little itchy." Xiao Xin suddenly touched his belly, and then wanted to continue kneading the dough. Mingxu pulled the bowl over and pointed to the faucet beside him and said, "Go wash your hands."
"I have washed my hands."
"You just touched your belly again. Go wash your hands again." Mingxu continued pointing at the faucet.
"Okay." Xiao Xin looked at Mingxu, who had a clear attitude, scratched his head and went to wash his hands.
Meiya nodded with satisfaction, but she still had to choose Xiaoxu.
The dough was kneaded quickly. Meiya took a rolling pin and rolled the dough flat.
"I want one too. I want one too." Xiao Xin became interested and stretched out his hand and shouted.
"No."
"Let me do it."
"No." Meiya refused clearly.
"Don't be so angry, Mom." Shin-chan spread his hands.
"What you want to say is petty." Mingxu poked his head out from the side and said.
"Yes, but why can Xiaoxu do it but I can't!" Xiaoxin nodded and found that Mingxu was also rolling noodles with a stick.
"...Xiao Xu, where did you get this?" Mei Ya was a little confused.
This one looks a bit like metal.
"Oh, Sui Xintie, you've seen it." Mingxu shrugged.
“…” Meiya and Xiaoxin were also speechless. How can you play with a magic weapon like this?
"You have to take it out and use it occasionally." Mingxu said casually. Anyway, He didn't protest.
"Mom, I want to do it too." Xiao Xin continued to shout.
"It's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that doing this requires skill and strength, and you're still young." Meiya shook her head.
Then set the prepared dough aside to rise. After the time has passed, shape the dough into cookies of different shapes, simply decorate them and then put them into the oven.
Mingxu and Xiaoxin smiled and made face-shaped cookies for the whole family. Xiaoxin also carefully made cookies for Nanako and prepared to give them to her the next day.
The cookies came out of the oven quickly. Looking at the cookies in front of them, the two brothers smiled with satisfaction. They had made them very successfully.
At night, when Guangzhi returned home, he was pulled into the living room by the two men and the finished cookies were displayed in front of him. Guangzhi immediately laughed, because they were cookies for the whole family.
"This is dad, this is mom, this is Xiaoxu, and here are me, Xiaokui, Xiaobai, and sister Nanako." Xiaoxin said, pointing at the cookies one by one.
"Well done. It looks very similar." The couple looked at each other and smiled.
"It looks very similar, but it's not edible." Guangzhi said helplessly.
"why?"
"It's so similar, I can't bear to eat it."
"Yes, they are so beautiful, we can't bear to give them up." Meisai and Hiroshi said hurriedly, looking at the two children's lost expressions.
"Oh oh." The two nodded.
The family looked at the cookies in front of them and happy smiles appeared on their faces.
