35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
"It's not easy for Teacher Shen to come all the way here, so why don't you stay and have a simple meal? Otherwise, if word gets out, the villagers in Jiangjia Village will say I don't know etiquette."
What Jiang Li said made sense, and Shen Changan nodded reluctantly.
At worst, I can just eat less later. It’s getting dark now anyway, so I can eat before leaving.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Jiang Yi."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, then took out a stack of prepared yam glutinous rice cakes from the steamer.
"Jiang Yi, take it out and give it to Teacher Shen. This is Teacher Shen's first visit, and we can't let him discuss business on an empty stomach."
"Okay, sister, what delicious food did you make? Why does it look so beautiful? And smell so good?"
In order to make the yam glutinous rice cake look better, Jiang Li added some pure natural fruit and vegetable juice into it.
Therefore, these yam glutinous rice cakes are not only available in white, but also in beautiful red, yellow and green.
"I just told you, this is yam glutinous rice cake. If you think it's good, wash your hands and go eat it."
Jiang Yi went out with the plate and came back in to wash his hands after a while.
Jiang Li had already cooked rice and cut vegetables. Now seeing Shen Changan coming over, he quickly prepared another dish.
Shen Changan thought about it and came in to wash his hands. When he came in, Jiang Li had already started cooking.
He knew very well that he should not look at anything inappropriate, but he still couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The stove in Jiang Yi's house is very high. Although Jiang Li is also quite tall, he still stands on tiptoe when cooking.
She is tall but has little flesh on her body, and she looks very thin from behind.
However, she looked focused and serious when cooking, with quick and decisive movements, and looked like a chef in a high-end restaurant.
Shen Changan was just looking around and happened to see Jiang Li adding seasoning to the dishes. She opened the bottle cap with one hand, quickly poured in soy sauce, and then closed the bottle cap with one hand.
She performed the entire movement in one go without any pause.
Shen Changan was amazed at what he saw. This little girl had such great energy. No wonder Jiang Yi was full of admiration whenever he talked about his sister.
Jiang Li cooked a dish and served it on a plate very neatly.
Shen Changan was about to leave quietly when Jiang Li suddenly called him: "Jiang Yi, help me take the dishes out."
Shen Changan walked silently behind Jiang Li and took the bowl of food.
Jiang Li scooped a spoonful of water and started to wash the pot. The moment she turned around, she saw Shen Changan holding a plate of food and preparing to leave.
Jiang Li's whole body froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
Shen Changan came to the main room with the dishes, and Jiang Yi hurried to greet him when he saw him.
"Teacher Shen, just let me do this little thing. How can I ask you to do the work when you're a guest?"
"It's okay. Why bother with such a small matter?"
Shen Changan put the dishes on the table and casually took a piece of yam glutinous rice cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
He used to live in the provincial capital, where there was a particularly famous pastry shop, and Shen Changan loved to eat the pastries there the most.
He always agreed that the pastries in that shop were the best he had ever eaten.
But now, after taking a bite of the pastry made by Jiang Li, Shen Changan quickly overturned this idea.
This yam glutinous rice cake is very sweet and soft, melts in your mouth and tastes very good.
Shen Changan originally just wanted to take a piece to taste. The one he just ate was green and seemed to have the taste of mugwort. However, mugwort is not easy to pick in this season, and Jiang Li didn't know where he got it from?
Shen Changan took another piece of yellow yam glutinous rice cake and took a bite, and found that this cake had a sweet chestnut flavor.
"Huh? There are fruit-flavored pastries?"
"Teacher Shen, this green pastry tastes like kiwi fruit. It's very good."
Jiang Yi began to enthusiastically promote it to Teacher Shen. Shen Changan saw that there were a total of six colors on the plate. He originally planned to try only one piece, but he couldn't help but ate all six pieces.
Glutinous rice cakes are usually very sweet and you won’t want to eat them after eating one or two pieces, but the cakes made by Jiang Li are very refreshing.
Each piece has a different flavor, and you'll still be wanting more after finishing it.
"Teacher Shen, are the cakes made by my sister delicious?"
Jiang Yi ate three pieces in a row. He had never eaten anything good since he was a child. Ever since he escaped from the human traffickers, his sister always found ways to make delicious food for him after she finished her confinement.
There were many delicious things that Jiang Yi had never tried before. He was a child who couldn't even get enough food to eat, so how could he even dream of eating any pastries?
Especially this kind of colorful, beautiful and delicious pastry, it was the first time he had eaten it in his life.
Jiang Yi also likes his sister very much. His favorite sister can make such delicious food. Jiang Yi likes Teacher Shen very much, so he wants to share it with him, so he asked with a show-off attitude.
“Not bad.”
Shen Changan said lightly, he felt very good in his heart, but the words that came out of his mouth seemed very ordinary.
"Oh~ I saw Teacher Shen eat several of them. I thought she liked them very much."
Jiang Yi looked at Teacher Shen with some grievance. The pastries made by his sister were obviously delicious, so why didn’t Teacher Shen give them a high evaluation?
Zhang Guocai put away his tools and some materials, washed his hands and walked over.
Zhang Guocai casually took a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and soon his eyes widened in surprise.
"It's worthy of my niece's craftsmanship, it's absolutely amazing!"
Zhang Guocai was indeed a little hungry after working for an entire afternoon, so he ate two or three pieces in a row. The more he ate, the more he liked it and the more satisfied he became.
He really didn't expect that the local products he dug up from the mountains, besides being sold directly at a low price, could actually be used to make such exquisite and delicious pastries.
"Yeah, I said my sister's cooking must be delicious."
Jiang Yi followed his uncle’s words, and Zhang Guocai raised his head and looked at Shen Changan for a long time, thinking secretly in his heart.
What's going on with this man? Why do his features look familiar? Where have I seen him before?
A man as outstanding as Shen Changan should have an impression after meeting him once, so why can't I remember him?
Shen Changan felt uncomfortable when he was looked at by him. He thought that he had angered him by saying that the pastries tasted only average, so he quickly explained with a smile on his face.
"This pastry tastes pretty good. Jiang Li's craftsmanship is pretty good."
When Jiang Li came out of the kitchen with two bowls of dishes, he happened to hear Shen Changan praising him insincerely.
She coughed lightly twice and then put the dishes on the table.
"Teacher Shen, if you don't think it tastes good, you don't have to force it."
"No, the cakes you make are the most unique and delicious cakes I have ever eaten."
Shen Changan was a little embarrassed to praise her in front of Jiang Yi just now, but now that he saw her in person, he couldn't help but praise her.
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Li was stunned, Jiang Yi was stunned, and even Shen Changan himself was stunned.
