Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ever since Lin Xiaowan’s success with the no-bake cake, she seemed to have awakened some hidden desire. She would go to the kitchen every day; her desire to bake was out of control. Apart from cakes, she would also make bread, biscuits, and other pastries. However, it was not a success every time. For example, she failed many times when trying to bake the most basic chiffon cake. However, this did not affect her passion for baking. She would still eat the failed product happily. If it was a success, she would even send them to Qiao You’an.
Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao were naturally delighted. They were little gluttons, after all. When they came home from school, their mouths would water when they saw the pastries that Lin Xiaowan sent over. After that, they would flatter her in the group chat.
The two children got along with Lin Xiaowan very well because they shared similar hobbies such as watching cartoons and eating snacks. Moreover, perhaps Lin Xiaowan was a little slow, the two children, who were much more mature than ordinary kids, loved the feeling of being admired and respected when they were with her. For all these reasons, they really liked her.
On this day, Hong Minhua arrived a little late due to her research. As soon as she entered the house, she could smell the fragrance in the air. She felt as though she had walked into a bakery. She asked curiously, “Is she making something again today?”
Aunt Wu brought the guest slippers out for Hong Minhua as she replied, “Yes, Teacher Hong. She made bread rolls today. You came just in time. Come in and have a taste.”
Aunt Wu followed Lin Xiaowan’s example and addressed Hong Minhua as ‘Teacher Hong’ as well.
After changing her shoes, Aunt Hong put her small bag down and said, “I’m going to join the fun.”
In the kitchen.
Apart from meat floss bread rolls, Lin Xiaowan made mango layer cake as well. At this moment, she was carefully holding a palm-sized bread roll in her hands that were clad in disposable gloves. She applied a layer of salad dressing on the sides of the bread roll before she filled it with a lot of meat floss.
On the plate next to her, there were already quite a few finished products.
When Lin Xiaowan saw Hong Minhua, she was surprised since she did not hear the doorbell ring. She quickly called out, “Teacher Hong, you’re here! Come and have a taste of the bread rolls I made today!”
Hong Minhua said with a hint of disapproval, “Did you forget again? You can call me Teacher when we’re in class. However, when we’re not in class, you should call me Grandma Hong.”
“Grandma Hong,” Lin Xiaowan called out obediently.
Hong Minhua had tasted the food Lin Xiaowan made a few times now so she did not stand on ceremony. She took a small plate and spoon from the side over.
The bread rolls were still warm. They were soft, moist, and very fragrant. The dressing was generous, and the sweetness of the dressing complemented the saltiness of the meat floss very well.
Lin Xiaowan looked at Hong Minhua expectantly. She had done her best today. She felt that the bread rolls she made today were especially tasty.
Hong Minhua gave Lin Xiaowan a thumbs-up. Her smile was very wide as she said, “It’s delicious! I’m not exaggerating, but I think you can even sell them!” Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaowan could not wait for Huo Zheng to get off work so he could try it. It was not enough to send a photo. In the end, she decided to pack the bread roll in a takeaway box and send it over to him. She also did not forget about Qiao You’an. In fact, she gave Qiao You’an even more bread rolls. Her takeaway boxes were all newly bought. After she folded them and stuck a small sticker on them, they really looked like the ones in dessert shops.
“You’re quite well prepared. Do you want to open up a dessert shop?,” Hong Minhua commented casually.
Lin Xiaowan really wanted a dessert shop of her own. It did not have to be very big. What was important to her was the display. This was because the thought of filling the display with all kinds of cakes and bread made her happy. She could imagine standing in front of the display as the scent of the pastries permeated the air.
Hong Minhua was very observant. When she saw the expression on Lin Xiaowan’s face, she suddenly felt the bread roll meat floss was not as fragrant as before. She asked, “What? Did I really hit the nail on the head? Do you really intend to open up a dessert shop?”
Lin Xiaowan giggled.
Hong Minhua looked at Lin Xiaowan with a helpless expression, She reached out and tapped Lin Xiaowan’s forehead. She grumbled a little but she could not hide her affection as she said, “You’re lucky Mr. Huo had already spoken to me in the beginning and told me that you’re only learning art as a hobby. Otherwise, I would’ve hit your palm, you fickle-minded fellow.”
Hong Minhua was naturally just joking. The pair of hands that learned to draw were so precious.. How could she hit Lin Xiaowan’s hands?
