The two discussed the wholesale market until the aroma of the stead cake base wafted through the air. Xu Nianhua hurriedly took it out.
Without an oven, the stead cake base fell a bit short in appearance and texture, but the soft stead cake, once smothered with cream, shouldn’t taste too different.
As for the cake decoration, Xu Nianhua felt a bit regretful, as there weren’t suitable ingredients at hand. When the ti ca, they could adorn it with waterlon, which would still look nice.
Xu Nianhua set the stead cake base aside to cool. Seeing the ti was right, she took out the cream and used a fruit knife to spread it bit by bit over the cake. Smoothing it out evenly wasn’t an easy task.
With Pei Yicheng’s help, Xu Nianhua finally finished making the cake. She garnished it with pieces of waterlon. She even painstakingly scooped out many small waterlon balls resembling red pearls to embellish the cake. It looked exceptionally beautiful!
"Little sis, is this a cake?" Xu Nian’an gulped at the sight of the cake. He wanted to taste the waterlon on top and was curious about how it would taste with cream!
And the cake itself—he’d heard from classmates that it was especially delicious. He wondered what taste this cake made by his little sis would have?
"Second sister, you’re amazing!" Gu Mingcheng gave her a thumbs up. He had tasted cakes before, but they looked particularly difficult to make!
Xu Nianhua was so pleased that her eyes crinkled with joy. When the cake was brought out before dinner that evening, it received unanimous praise from everyone.
Especially Ji Ying and Zhou He, who kept praising it.
Xu Qinghe looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, feeling extrely joyful!
The best decision he had ever made was moving out of the Xu Family. Otherwise, how could their family enjoy days like this?
And this daughter, although not related by blood, rembered his birthday, personally cooked up this whole table of dishes, and even made a cake he had never heard of. He felt so proud and happy!
With Xu Qinghe’s joy, cups kept filling with alcohol. The daughter is like a darling little quilted vest, and this son-in-law is like the big bad wolf who took his quilt away. Today, he was set on drinking him under the table.
However, while Xu Qinghe ended up drinking too much, Pei Yicheng seed perfectly normal, with only his eyes still deep-set.
"Yicheng, you can’t bully Nianhua in the future."
Xu Qinghe spoke with his eyes tinged with intoxication. Once tipsy, he dragged Pei Yicheng to talk, "You’re a man; you must protect Nianhua."
"Uncle, rest assured, I won’t let anyone bully Nianhua!" Pei Yicheng didn’t answer flippantly even though Xu Qinghe was drunk.
"Who knows if your words are true when your two lips et?"
Xu Qinghe was dissatisfied with Pei Yicheng’s ready answer, staring at him, "Our Xu Family may not be as wealthy as yours, but Nianhua is my daughter. I will certainly make the Qingsong Furniture Factory grow one day!"
Even though Xu Qinghe spoke incoherently in his drunken state, his words ward Xu Nianhua’s heart, knowing her father rembered her even while drunk.
"Don’t bully Nianhua." Xu Qinghe, in the end, repeatedly emphasized those words.
Xu Qinghe kept talking, not giving Pei Yicheng a chance to express himself until finally, Xu Qinghe fell asleep on the table, asleep...
