Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"Happy New Year." Yesterday, Liu Zhizhi received a message from Ye Ziyu saying that she would come to pay New Year's greetings today, so she prepared early in the morning.

"Happy New Year, Zhizhi, why are you waiting at the door so early?" Ye Ziyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Liu Zhizhi there.

"Happy New Year, Zhizhi." Ye Qingyin followed out.

"I had nothing to do, so I thought of coming out to wait for you." Liu Zhizhi said.

"Hello, sister." Jiang Xiping also got off the carriage.

"Hello, little sister." Liu Zhizhi said with a smile, then looked at Ye Ziyu, "Who is this?"

"My cousin is Jiang Xiping, you can just call her Ping'er." Ye Ziyu replied.

"Okay, let's go. It's cold outside, let's talk inside." Liu Zhizhi stepped forward and took Ye Ziyu's arm, while Ye Qingyin took Jiang Xiping's hand and walked in together.

Walking into the room, "Sister Qingyin, Sister Ziyu." The new love bowed.

"It seems that my new love is doing well these days and has gained some weight." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

Xinhuan smiled embarrassedly, "It's all thanks to the young lady. The young lady treats me very well. Every time she makes cakes, she makes a lot of them, and gives me the leftovers."

"Bai Bai Pang Pang looks happy." Liu Zhizhi said, "By the way, Ayu, you said you came to see me for something today, what is it?"

"I asked Yifeng to help me see if there are any shops for rent or sale these days. I was thinking about whether I should open a pastry shop?" The period after the Chinese New Year should be the time when the most shops are put up for rent or sale. This is a good time to look for a shop with a suitable location and a suitable price.

"Are you going to open a shop so soon? Didn't you say before that you would use Mr. Ye's tea house as an intermediary first?"

"Before, you were only thinking about doing your pastry business, but these few days, you suddenly had an idea. You want to open a shop to sell pastries and cakes or teach people how to make cakes." Ye Ziyu said. Lixia had asked her a few days ago that the second young master's birthday would be in a while, and what kind of birthday gift should be prepared. This made Ye Ziyu think of cakes.

"Cake? What is cake?" This is a new term for Liu Zhizhi.

Ye Qingyin also looked at Ye Ziyu in confusion.

"In the past, cakes were usually used to celebrate birthdays, but later on, everyone can eat them whenever they want," said Ye Ziyu.

"Birthday, oh~ are you preparing this as a birthday gift for your second brother?" Ye Qingyin asked.

"This is just a ceremony for his birthday. I have prepared other gifts." Ye Ziyu said.

"What do you think? Zhizhi?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"I don't know much about store matters. You have always been in charge of it. If you think it is feasible, you can do it. I will fully support you." Liu Zhizhi replied.

"I support it too." Ye Qingyin agreed.

"Okay, then I'll go back and think about the plan carefully. Yifeng is still looking for a suitable shop anyway, so let's get started. I brought Ping'er here specially to learn how to make pastries from you." Ye Ziyu pulled Jiang Xiping to her side.

"Xin Huan, go prepare the things, we'll go over and make them later." Liu Zhizhi ordered. Xin Huan had been learning to make pastries from Liu Zhizhi for a while, so she knew what to prepare.

"Yes." The new love went down.

"Miss, let me go help my new love." Lixia asked.

"Well, go ahead and prepare the things I need." Ye Ziyu said.

Upon hearing this, Lixia left with her new love.

"Sister, what are you going to prepare for the beginning of summer?" Ye Qingyin asked curiously.

"Prepare the ingredients for the cake I just mentioned. I was thinking about Zhizhi and the others making pastries, so I'll try to see if I can make it. If it succeeds, you can also taste it and give me some opinions."

"Then I'm still a little looking forward to it." Ye Qingyin smiled. Every time Ye Ziyu created something, it was unexpected and very practical.

After Lixia and the others prepared everything, Ye Ziyu and the others went to the kitchen.

"Milk, flour, eggs, sugar, and pastry?" Liu Zhizhi read out the ingredients in front of Ye Ziyu one by one, "Is this what you mean by the cake you're talking about?"

"Actually, these aren't what we have, but there aren't any here and we can't find them, so let's use them instead. Let's get started."

Lixia helped Ye Ziyu, while Ye Qingyin and Jiang Xiping followed Liu Zhizhi to make pastries.

Ye Ziyu first asked Lixia to grind the crisp into fine pieces, and then add some oil. "Miss, will this work?" Lixia asked while grinding.

"I'm not sure, but how do I know if it will work if I don't try? What if it works?" Normally, butter should be added to the puff pastry, but I can't find butter here, so I'll use oil instead.

After compacting the pastry, Ye Ziyu asked Lixia to put it in the cold storage. "It's cold in the cold storage. When we are almost done, we can take it out."

"Next comes the most difficult step - beating the egg white." Ye Ziyu separated the egg white and egg yolk, then took out three chopsticks and began to stir clockwise, adding some sugar while stirring.

Two quarters of an hour passed...

"Miss, is this okay? I can't turn anymore..." Lixia shook her arms.

Ye Ziyu looked at the state of the egg white and said, "Well, it's almost done. Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a reward when I get back."

After beating the egg whites, Ye Ziyu started to prepare the egg yolks. She cooked the egg yolks and milk together in a pot, then added sugar and some white powder and stirred them thoroughly.

After that, let it cool down a little, Ye Ziyu asked Lixia to take back the base film. Then, she poured the beaten egg white into the stirred milk, stirred it together clockwise with a whisk, and finally poured it all into the base film, and asked Lixia to put it back into the freezer.

After finishing everything, Ye Ziyu returned to the room and stretched, "Oh, I'm so tired."

"Miss, I was the one fighting just now. Why are you tired?" Lixia poured a glass of water for Ye Ziyu.

"Hey, Lixia, you've worked hard." Ye Ziyu said with a smile, "Are they not done yet?" Zhizhi's house has two kitchens. They originally cooked together, but later the space was too small, so Ye Ziyu and Lixia moved to another small kitchen.

"Miss, please take a rest first. I will go and take a look."

"Didn't we say we were going to eat? Let's go." Ye Jiaxuan said.

"Jiaxuan, I..."

"Lin Yun, what do you mean? Are you planning to hit on Ayu? I tell you, it's impossible!" Ye Jiaxuan said excitedly.

"Why not? Jiaxuan, we have been brothers for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I don't have concubines, I don't gamble, and I don't visit brothels. I don't have any bad behaviors. What's wrong with me?" Lin Yun was puzzled.

"My sister is so young, and you have such thoughts about her."

"I am only less than two years older than your sister, and I don't mean to marry so quickly. I can wait for her to pass the imperial examination. I can also promise not to take a concubine. After we get married, she will be the only one."

"Tell me the truth, have you been planning on hitting on my sister from the beginning?"

“Actually, I didn’t fall in love with your sister at the beginning. I admired her at the beginning and thought she was amazing. She had so many novel ideas in her mind at such a young age. And she didn’t think that I was not doing my job properly like others did (Ye Ziyu: sorry, I just wanted to find someone to help). She thought that I was doing what I love, and she supported and encouraged me. Later, when I got along more with Ayu, I felt that she was a lively and cheerful girl. Gradually, I was attracted to her and wanted to be with her.” As he spoke, Lin Yun’s expression became more infatuated.

Ye Jiaxuan looked at him and shook his head, "It seems that you still don't know my sister very well, don't think about it."

"You always guard me so tightly, how can I have the chance to get to know A-Yu?" Lin Yun said bitterly, "Jiaxuan, don't you know me, your brother? I'm so reliable, please give me a chance."

"No - Impossible! Don't say I don't agree. Even if my parents knew, they wouldn't agree. Besides, Ayu doesn't like you either. I'm just kindly reminding you, so don't make yourself suffer."

"You are not Ayu, how do you know that Ayu won't like me? As long as you don't stop her, I guarantee that Ayu will definitely like me." Lin Yun said confidently.

Ye Jiaxuan rolled his eyes at him, "Anyway, forget about my sister. If you still want to be my brother, put your heart back in your stomach." Ye Jiaxuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he got up and left. "Also, you don't have to do what my sister asks you to do. I will do it for her myself."

"Jiaxuan..." Lin Yun stood up and tried to stop him, but Ye Jiaxuan had already left quickly.
