Chapter 139: Milk Cake
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Heng poured tea for the two of them and glanced at the milk cakes that Madam Ye had personally made. He did not want to share them, but he suddenly remembered what his mother had said. Madam Ye wanted to sell milk cakes. He only hesitated for a moment before taking out three portions of milk cakes and placing them on the tea table for Du Heng and Xie Yu to taste.
He sat down as well with a book by Mencius in his hand.
Xie Yu could not wait to talk to Chu Heng about his studies.
Du Heng had already discussed this with Xie Yu a long time ago, so he naturally did not interrupt. He excitedly picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.
Du Heng’s eyes lit up as soon as he ate the milk cake.
He, who loved sweet food, finished it in two or three mouthfuls in an instant.
He took a sip of tea and slowly savored the milky fragrance of the pastry in his mouth.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, Xie Yu and Chu Heng both stopped. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. This topic clearly had a different understanding and harvest.
Xie Yu’s mood instantly became better. He tilted his head and saw Du Heng hugging his teacup and looking delighted.
“Old Du, what’s wrong?” Xie Yu laughed.
Hearing this, Du Heng instantly sat up straight and looked at Chu Heng expectantly. “Brother Heng, this pastry is too delicious. Can I have another piece?”
As he spoke, he recommended it to Xie Yu. “Brother Yu, this pastry is too delicious. Try it quickly. I’ve never eaten anything before. Even you
don’t have it at home.”
When Xie Yu heard this, he subconsciously retorted, “That’s impossible. All the pastries in my house are the most complete in Nanchang County. Are there any pastries that I haven’t eaten before?”
As he spoke, he lowered her head to take a look. “Hey, I’ve really never seen this pastry before. It smells like milk.”
“Shall I try?” Xie Yu asked reservedly.
Du Heng still wanted to use Xie Yu’s name to ask Chu Heng for more pastries, so how could he stop him? Instead, he urged, “If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
When Xie Yu saw this, he did not stand on ceremony anymore. He picked up the milk cake and took a bite.
Her eyes instantly widened in surprise and she ate a piece in two or three bites. “It’s really delicious. It’s sweet but not greasy. Also, what’s this layer in the middle? Why have I never eaten such pastries before?”
While the two of them were talking, Chu Heng silently picked up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth. When the sweet fragrance entered his mouth, he could not help but think of the cold, quiet, and gentle Madam Ye.
In his previous life, he had never eaten the pastries made by Madam Ye, let alone this new type of pastry.
Chu Heng’s heart was greatly shaken, and he quickly finished a piece of pastry.
When he heard the two of them shouting, Chu Heng came back to his senses after a while and said without any guilt, “Sorry, I was distracted just now.”
“Brother Heng, Brother Yu wants to ask you, is this pastry really made by Madam Ye? I wonder if I can buy it.” Du Heng asked.
Xie Yu also looked at Chu Heng expectantly. Although he usually did not put much emphasis on his appetite, he was a picky eater. He would never let go of any dish or food that he liked. Otherwise, it was very easy for him to starve because of his poor appetite.
In fact, he originally wanted to ask if Chu Heng could sell the recipe, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. It was too abrupt, so it was better to take it slow. Xie Yu still wanted to be on good terms with Chu Heng.
Just the fact that the other party was knowledgeable and had very similar views to him, Xie Yu did not want to use money to interfere between the two of them, lest there were too many interests mixed in their friendship.
Chu Heng stood up and took out the last three pieces.
“This milk cake was indeed made by my wife, and she had plans to sell it, but it doesn’t seem to be in large quantities, and the shelf life is short..”
