Chapter 90: With You, Every Day is Valentine's Day

She really had no choice but to slowly stretch out her hand.

It was an object that had been deformed when held in the hand, with a burnt surface, but it could still be seen as a small cake.

"I, didn't I tell you? I recently learned several quick recipes that look particularly simple, including this egg cake.
I saw how easy and simple it was for others to do it, so I thought about trying it myself, but it turned out to be nothing like what they said.
I clearly followed their instructions step by step."

At the end, Jiang Mengyan's voice sounded obviously aggrieved.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at. How can we generalize?

You can teach, draw, and design jewelry. How many people want to do the same but can't.

It's not your fault that I didn't use my talent points in cooking."

Lin Han picked up the dark egg cake and broke it in the middle.

Looking at the cake with a runny core and uncooked outside, Lin Han's mouth twitched slightly.

It's quite shocking to be able to do this.

But of course he couldn't say that.

He broke off the burnt part on the outside and scraped off as much edible part as possible. When Lin Han was about to put the broken cake into his mouth to taste it, he was stopped by Jiang Mengyan:
"Don't eat it, it's not cooked inside."

She whispered, hesitatingly.

"It's okay, just eat it as a lava cake."

Lin Han smiled and tasted the cake:
"Well, it's pretty good, except that the outside is a little burnt because I didn't control the heat well. The rest is still very good."

"Really? Why do I feel like you're comforting me?"

Jiang Mengyan asked in a low voice with a look of disbelief.

"Really not, I promise."

Lin Han reached out and wiped the burnt grease off Jiang Mengyan's face:

"Do you really want to make something yourself?"

"Ah."

She nodded.

"How about this, you go wash your face and tidy up first, I'll clean up the kitchen, and then we can make a simple baked cake together, okay?
I will teach you, and you will not fail. "

Lin Han asked with a smile.

"But it's late now. You've been busy all day."

When Jiang Mengyan heard Lin Han say that he wanted to teach her how to make cupcakes, she was obviously tempted, but still shook her head.

"It's okay, this is very simple and can be done in just ten minutes."

As Lin Han spoke, he reached out and took off Jiang Mengyan's dirty apron.

"Go ahead, go wash up, then we can make a cake together."

"it is good."

Jiang Mengyan nodded obediently and carefully washed the dirty oil on her face and hands.

When he came back, Lin Han had already tidied the kitchen and made it look brand new. He also prepared several necessary ingredients and placed them on the counter.

As he said, it was indeed simple, cake flour, eggs, butter, half a sliced ​​lemon, and a carton of milk.

"Come on, first use the kitchen scale to weigh out 200 grams of cake flour, and then use this egg separator to separate the egg white and egg yolk."

"Yes, squeezing a little lemon juice into the egg whites will help them whip."

"Then use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they are like this, with a little bit of a hook left when you lift it up."

"Then mix all the ingredients evenly, pour them into the mold, adjust the upper and lower fire, and then just wait."

Lin Han explained patiently step by step.

He did not become impatient with Jiang Mengyan's clumsy work, nor did he step forward to try to replace her more skilled operations.

Instead, he patiently guided her step by step.

Jiang Mengyan was very nervous at first, but she slowly relaxed under Lin Han's patient and gentle tone. "Is it okay to just wait like this?"

Pushing the mold filled with cake batter into the oven, Jiang Mengyan looked at the cake batter being baked under the dim light in the oven and asked.

"Yes, all we have to do is wait like this. Isn't it really that simple?"

"Um"

She nodded and reached out to grab Lin Han’s hand:
"Why are these things so easy when you are around? I can't do it alone."

"It means you just need me in your life."

Lin Han smiled and held Jiang Mengyan's hand, but heard her cry out in pain:
"hiss"

?

Lin Han quickly pulled her hand and looked over, and found that there was a blister the size of a fingernail on her hand.

"I, I couldn't find baking gloves, so I used a rag to pick it up, but I accidentally touched the iron rack."

Jiang Mengyan said in a low voice.

"Burns are the most painful. Have you taken a cold shower?"

Such a big blister made Lin Han feel distressed. He quickly went to find the burn ointment and asked while applying it.

"I washed it for quite a while. I know this common sense. Now it doesn't hurt much if I don't touch it."

Jiang Mengyan replied with a smile.

"Still laughing, still laughing. Next time you can't find something, just ask me, okay? I'll be heartbroken if you hurt yourself."

"Hey, I know."

Jiang Mengyan knew she was in the wrong, so she couldn't help but kiss Lin Han on the cheek. She saw his frown relax at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his gloomy face turned into a helpless smile:
"You, really."

As he was speaking, the oven made a dinging sound.

"It's baked."

Lin Han glanced at Jiang Mengyan who was eager to try:
"You go sit over there at the dining table. Your hands are already burned. As a punishment, you are not allowed to touch the oven for a week."

"Okay."

Jiang Mengyan could only sit at the dining table and wait in disappointment.

Of course, it would be boring to just eat the cake base. Lin Han took out a bottle of squeezed cream from the refrigerator, cut the cake base into two slices, squeezed the cream in the middle, and then cut some of the fruits he had just bought on top as decoration.

This way, it becomes a simple fruit cake.

When the small cake was brought to the dining table, Jiang Mengyan's eyes lit up the moment her eyes fell on the small cake.

“Wow this is the cake I just baked?”

"Of course, where else can I conjure up a fruit cake for you on the spot?"

"Hey, I made the cake. I made it~"

Seeing her salivating, Lin Han couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly reached out to cut a piece and put it in front of her.

"But today doesn't seem like a day worth celebrating. There's no point in eating this cake, right?"

She picked up a piece of cake with a fork, put it into her mouth and swallowed it beautifully. Then Jiang Mengyan spoke.

"What's the point of eating a cake? It's not like you can only eat it on anniversaries or holidays."

Lin Han also cut a piece of cake for himself and said with a smile:

"Besides, when I'm with you, every day is Valentine's Day, so just think of this as a Valentine's Day cake."

"Your mouth is getting more and more greasy!"

"So you also like my style?"

"Annoying~"
