Chapter 122: The Cake

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mother, is it enough once we finish digging this part?” Chu Ziluo listened to Ye Muyu more and more. She was picking up the Wild Fan flowers and fruits on the ground.

Ye Muyu had just finished digging up Solomon’s Seals.

Solomon’s Seals were expensive. If she did not finish digging, it was hard to guarantee that someone would not steal it. After all, digging Solomon’s Seals would not waste time.

After Ye Muyu confirmed that he could sell them for silver, she decided to dig them all out.

“Yes, we’ll go back after digging some more Kudzu roots.”

Perhaps the villagers had also noticed the Chu family’s actions.

They could not help but ask. Only then did he know that the mountain was not filled with wild grass and trees, but medicinal herbs that could be sold for money. In less than two days, the news spread throughout the entire village.

Basically, every family would free up their hands to pick Wild Fan flowers and fruits, and Kudzu roots in their own mountains. If they were lucky enough to find Solomon’s Seal, it would be even better.

Therefore, when Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo went out to pick Wild Fan flowers and fruits, they often met many villagers.

Seeing how skilled her hands were, they all asked her how she could pluck it more completely.

Ye Muyu was patient. She basically answered all the questions that came. With Ye Muvu and Chu Ziluo’s hard work, thev finallv managed to collect all the wild fan flowers and vines after five days.

These days, apart from going out to harvest at a fixed time every day.

During this time, he made cream.

She tried to make a cake.

It did not taste good as she steamed the cake in a pot.

She had already planned to build another oven. It would not cost much if she only used stones and soil.

“Mother, Uncle Ah Xing is here.”

Ye Muyu was bringing the newly made cake into the central room, along with the last bit of cream made from milk, intending to style it.

When she heard Chu Ziluo’s voice, she smiled and looked up. She shouted at the two people outside the room, “Come in quickly. The central room is quite cool. Ah Xing has a fan here.”

Chu Xing did not stand on ceremony. Ever since he helped his sister-in-law buy broken porcelain pieces, he often ran errands for her. In the long run, he was used to coming here, so he did not stand on ceremony.

“Come, I called you to try it last time. Try it.” Ye Muyu cut a small piece of cake into two halves, put cream in the middle, and closed it.

She had made the cream in the morning and put it in the well to freeze. At this moment, the temperature was lower than room temperature.

“Sister-in-law, what kind of pastry is this?”

Chu Xing looked at the cake for a long time but still could not recognize it. He did not even know how it was made.

Chu Ziluo also took a small piece and started eating. She smiled and said,

“Uncle Ah Xing, you should eat it. This pastry is delicious.”

“This is a method my mother accidentally discovered.” Of course, Ye Muyu was deliberately putting on a show in front of Chu Ziluo that she had accidentally discovered delicious food.

However, she had acted too naturally, and there were many coincidental factors involved, so Chu Ziluo did not suspect anything at all.

Chu Xing did not suspect anything. He only ate it after hearing that Ye Muyu made it himself.

After taking a bite of the cake, Chu Xing’s eyes instantly lit up because of the sweetness in his mouth. In fact, most of the people in Nanchang County liked sweet food.

The soft cake, as well as the cool cream mixed in it that he had never eaten before, made him eat a piece in one go without noticing.

“Uncle Ah Xing, how is it?” Chu Ziluo said with a smile.

Chu Xing was reminded by her and realized that he had actually eaten the pastry so unreservedly. He instantly blushed. “Sister-in-law, your cooking is really good. I’ve never eaten such delicious pastries..”
