Chapter 188: Taro Cake Roll

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The most magical thing was that there was really a shop among the bookstalls that was emitting a familiar fragrance of food. Even the young lady at the door was quite familiar.

He elbowed Gongsun Zhongjing. “Do you have a dog’s nose?”

Seeing Xiaoxiao’s greeting, Li Muyan put away his expression that was worse than death and put on his usual business smile. “I was wondering where I had smelled this smell before. So this is the shop that Shopkeeper Xu mentioned that Miss Ning is going to open.”

The day he arrived at the Ning Family was a little late. He did not have a share of the milk tea, and he only ate one piece of the sponge cake. The rest was eaten by Gongsun Zhongjing, this inhumane fellow. He did not even leave a crumb for him!

He asked casually, “Miss Ning, are you planning to do a snack business here? I wonder if it’s possible to…”

“Impossible.” A smug voice came from the shop. Shen Tianci, who had come over at some point, laughed with his hands on his hips. “Ning Xiaoxiao has already decided to work with my mother! You should know the Li Family’s rules best. Married daughters and the main family’s business do not interfere with each other. Whoever interferes with the other party’s business is against the family rules!”

Li Muyan’s smile froze. Xiaoxiao did not want the surrounding people to see him as a joke. She invited these young masters into the house and poured them a cup of milk tea.

Fortunately, she had prepared a lot today and had something to entertain the guests. However, she did not let anyone touch the small pot at the end. She even specially reminded Yun Yi, “That pot is reserved for my brother and Little Big Brother Ah Yan. No matter how Shen Tianci pleads, we can’t give it to him.”

This guy was simply extreme. He was either picky at home and did not eat anything, or he ate everything when he was at her place.

Just as she had expected, Shen Tianci, who had finished two cups in a row, sneaked into the kitchen with the cup. If Yun Yi had not caught him quickly, he would have successfully drunk it.

As the host, Xiaoxiao couldn’t really let the guests sit there with empty cups, especially when there was a genius doctor who had treated her father with acupuncture to clear his blood vessels. Her father was still waiting for him to do a few more treatments.

That day, after Doctor Gongsun checked on the recovery of the back of her father’s head, he really discovered hidden dangers. Back then, they could not get rid of the clotted blood. He could not sense any discomfort now, but he might feel dizzy in the future. It was even more difficult to say if it got more serious.

Previously, the Ning Family had also hired other doctors to treat Ning Fengnian. However, those doctors could only treat the external injuries and not internal injuries. Madam Song and the others did not understand, but Xiaoxiao knew the seriousness of the cerebral hemorrhage and hurriedly asked Doctor Gongsun to help treat it. This doctor was also cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He immediately administered acupuncture and promised to administer acupuncture to Ning Fengnian again every five days until the hemorrhage dissipated.

How could Xiaoxiao dare to neglect such a good doctor?

“Doctor Gongsun, Young Master Li, please sit down for a moment. I’ll make some simple snacks. If you don’t mind, please stay and try them.”

Shen Tianci hurriedly raised his hand high. “There’s still me, there’s still me. Why didn’t you ask me?”

Xiaoxiao smiled. “Because I know you definitely won’t mind.”

Shen Tianci was instantly comforted. He even showed off to Li Muyan. “Did you see that? With our relationship, I’ll definitely get my share of food.”

Xiaoxiao did not care how they bickered here. After asking her mother and finding out that Mrs. Shen had actually fallen asleep on the sofa, she was also convinced. Seeing that Mrs. Shen’s nanny and maidservant had already covered her with a thin blanket, she let her be. The weather was good now, so she would not catch a cold.

The oven had already been preheated. Xiaoxiao had plenty of flour, eggs and milk. This time, she wanted to roast a rectangular thin cake. While waiting for the cake to be baked, she started to process the other ingredients.

After washing the taro, removing the skin, cutting it into pieces, and steaming it in the pot, she added a suitable amount of honey. Now that she had money, she could buy the honey directly. She did not have to go into the mountains to take the risk herself. It was very convenient. After the taro paste that she had prepared was placed at the side to cool down, the cake was also baked. She took out the mold and placed it to a level where it was not hot to the touch. She smeared the taro paste on the cake embryo and rolled it up.

After rolling up the long strip cake into a roll, she cut it into rings with a clean knife.

The light purple taro paste in the light yellow cake embryo was moderately sweet and melted in the mouth.

She was telling the truth to Mrs. Shen just now. With her current ability, milk products like cream and butter could only be made in small quantities and could not satisfy a lot of needs, especially since summer was coming. She could not just put them aside after making dessert and let them fight against the high temperature.

However, she had already gotten Mrs. Shen to contact the herdsmen to buy the milk. If the ice cubes depended on Mrs. Shen, then she would have to get involved in the milk tea shop. Xiaoxiao was unwilling.

She just wanted a shop that completely belonged to her. It was simpler and more comfortable. She could do whatever she wanted, even if she earned less money. She had enough to eat and drink.

The milk tea shop meant a lot to her. This was the first place that truly belonged to her after she transmigrated. It was not easy for her to buy the shop herself. How could she bear to share it with others?

She wanted to do up this shop according to her preferences and interests.

Hence, if Mrs. Shen was interested in cream cakes, she might as well let her make them. Xiaoxiao planned to make milk tea as the main dish in the milk tea shop and make whatever snacks she wanted or her family wanted to eat according to her mood.

There was no need for a large quantity. If they really could not sell it, it would be very honorable for them to eat it or give it to their neighbors.

But on second thought, why was she unwilling to break up with Mrs. Shen but willing to pull Little Big Brother Ah Yan in? Scratching her head, she put this question aside and took out a carefully selected set of cutlery to store snacks. Then, she poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for everyone.

[Ding… The Gourmet Taro Cake Roll has been successfully recorded for the first time. It has been tested that this gourmet’s usage of ingredients is unique and unique in this space-time. Reward: 1,000 points. Current total points are 4,900 points.]

The points earned from cooking for the past two days were not even comparable to a Taro Cake Roll. It could be seen how important innovation was.

Knowledge was power, knowledge was wealth, and knowledge was points.

[Ding! Chrysanthemum Tea has been successfully recorded for the first time. Reward: 200 points. Current total points are 5,100. Master, come to the space to take a look later! The seedling rewarded for the last upgrade has grown up!] Oh, didn’t that mean that she would know its true colors?

The space kept her in suspense and wanted to surprise her. It was not appropriate for Xiaoxiao to disappear in broad daylight, so she walked forward with food and drinks.

There was a light purple snack in the middle of the goose yellow, and a few flowers floated in the flower tea. Just by looking at it, Shen Tianci had already started to swallow his saliva. “You’re thinking of new snacks again? Are you going to put this in the shop where you worked with my mother?”

He admitted that he had said it on purpose for Li Muyan to hear. Ever since he knew that his family had beaten him to it, he had not said anything. Hehe, he must be disappointed and sad.. He deserved it! He must be so angry!
