Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Cream Cake - Ice Mist - Mint Edition
Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
"Sisi, I'm going out for a bit, please look after the shop."
"Okay, boss."
After buying Mrs. Sun's tea house, Wang Daoyi fulfilled his promise and continued to run this affordable tea house, providing tea for the dockworkers.
Of course, Wang Daoyi wouldn't stay in the shop every day. So, he hired a waitress named Sisi. According to her, her lover works on a ship, and she wants to keep an eye on the port to see him as soon as he returns. So, when Wang Daoyi was looking for a waitress, and since this tea house catering to dockworkers didn't require a professional waitress like other tea houses, they quickly reached an agreement, and Sisi became the tea house's waitress.
And this month, Sisi's performance also satisfied Wang Daoyi. Apart from always mentioning her brother Sihai, she managed everything in the tea house very well.
Leaving the tea house, Wang Daoyi today is planning to go to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Yes, he is going to see Zhongli. Since Zhongli said last time that Wang Daoyi could come to see him anytime, Wang Daoyi felt that Zhongli must have figured something out.
According to the game's performance, Zhongli must know some secrets, at least about the travelers who came from across the starry sea, Zhongli knows something.
And now, Wang Daoyi, the soul-transmigrated, appeared in front of Zhongli. Whether Zhongli can see through his secrets, Wang Daoyi has been thinking about it for half a month, and it's very likely.
However, before going to S Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, he had to eat at Wanmin Restaurant first. After all, no matter how urgent things were, he couldn't forget to eat. He also needed to ask Xiangling for a favor, to make some pastries to bring as a gift to Zhongli. After all, when visiting for advice, it didn't feel right to go empty-handed.
Carrying a bag of nuts given by the dockworkers, he arrived at Wanmin Restaurant.
"Chef Mao, is Xiangling cooking today?"
"What's wrong, if I, Master Mao, am cooking, would you not eat, young man?"
Regarding Wang Daoyi, who had only known him for half a month but had already become quite familiar with his daughter, Chef Mao no longer showed the enthusiasm of just getting acquainted, but instead revealed a hint of disdain.
"Haha, how could that be? I discussed a dish with Xiangling last time and wanted to see if I could taste it today!"
Just as he said that, a strange creature like a bear came out from the kitchen, waving its sturdy arms: "Ruru~"
"Ha, good morning, Guoba. Is Xiangling here?"
"Ruru~"
Guoba called out to the kitchen.
Then, a pretty young girl poked her head out, it was Xiangling.
"Ah, Brother Daoyi, you're here. Come in, I'm just making the Ice Mist Flower Cream Cake we discussed last time. Come and try it."
Xiangling is sixteen years old this year, her birthday is on November 2nd. According to what Auntie Ruoxin told the original owner, the original owner's birthday is on July 30th, so after comparing their birthdays, Xiangling naturally changed her way of addressing him to "Brother Daoyi".
Actually, Xiangling is best at various spicy dishes, but after Wang Daoyi discussed cream cakes with her several times, Xiangling also showed a keen interest.
Perhaps because few people of the same age discuss cooking with her, this made her have a greatly increased favorability towards Wang Daoyi. If it were in the game, she could almost hand out business cards.
Of course, this might also be one of the reasons why Chef Mao is getting more and more unhappy with Wang Daoyi.
Chef Mao showed an innocent smile to Wang Daoyi, who had a black face, and casually placed a bag of nuts on the counter. Guided by Guoba, Wang Daoyi entered the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Xiangling held up an exquisite little cake to Wang Daoyi.
"Brother Daoyi, try this. It's the latest improved version!"
The girl handed the cake to the young man's mouth, unaware that her father was watching her "messing around" from the doorway with a face as dark as the best Wutan in Liyue.
"Hmm!!" A dissatisfied voice interrupted the girl's attempt to feed the cake to the young man.
Seeing her father watching her "fooling around," which she didn't notice while trying to feed the cake to the young man, Xiangling quickly noticed it while hanging halfway on the young man's body.
While Guoba on the side was trying hard to signal her, unfortunately, Guoba's small eyes were trying hard to convey a
sense of danger, but to no avail.
The girl, who realized that something was wrong, quickly stepped back two steps, blushing, and looking at the ground.
[Huh, it's all Guoba's fault. Why didn't he remind me earlier that my dad was here!]
[Ruru!?] Guoba: Your black pot deduction is a bit unreasonable!
Seeing his daughter's blushing face, Master Mao sighed silently, regretting letting the wolf into the house and feeling that his daughter has grown up.
"Dad is going out to buy ingredients. Xiangling, you watch the shop, don't go out to play, got it?"
Regardless, he absolutely cannot let this stinky brat deceive his daughter into going out now.
"I got it, Dad!"
After Master Mao left, Wang Daoyi finally picked up the carefully made little cake by the girl.
This small cake is divided into two layers, the base is golden, highlighting the gorgeous and luxurious; the first layer is pink, giving a very warm feeling; the second layer is pink petals surrounding the white cake, looking very tempting.
There is a lotus flower on the cake that can rotate. The lotus flower is slightly tilted, and a small ice crystal butterfly rests on it, vividly vivid, with every trace of the pattern clearly visible.
It's hard to imagine how the girl's skill could make such a cake that rivals a work of art under completely manual conditions.
"It's so beautiful!"
Wang Daoyi sighed, this is truly a beautiful little cake.
Xiangling, who had just calmed down her blushing face and emotions, looked up at Wang Daoyi, only to hear his praise for her little cake.
The shyness that had just subsided surged up in her face again, and her small face blushed as if it was about to bleed.
"Uh, Xiangling, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"
"Ah, no, nothing, it's just a bit hot!"
Xiangling was stunned, looking at Wang Daoyi, and realized that he was praising her little cake just now.
The girl's feelings instantly subsided, and she felt a little revengeful for misunderstanding Wang Daoyi just now.
"Sorry, Brother Daoyi, I just wanted to use the Ice Mist Flower to cool down the cream, I didn't expect the reaction with mint to be so strong!"
Xiangling said somewhat embarrassedly.
In this short time, Wang Daoyi had already recovered. Shaking his head, "It's okay, I actually feel pretty good. When I just tasted it, I even felt happy. Just reduce the amount of Ice Mist Flower and mint next time, and it will be a great summer dessert."
After speaking, he remembered that he came to find Xiangling for something today.
"Oh, by the way, Li Gongtou from the port sent me some nuts. Today, I want to visit Zhongli, the guest consultant at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. I came to ask you to help me make some nut pastries."
