Chapter 563: Popularity of Sweets

The main hall of Shen Qingqian's house is not spacious enough, so she has to go to Wu's house to entertain Liang Cheng.

This is also the rule of Dajin. Wu represents the main house. The Shen family has not split up. Logically, guests should be received in the main house. Therefore, when designing the layout of the house, Wu sacrificed the size of the bedroom and made the main room big enough.

Liang Cheng was led to the Shen family's main room, and the first thing he saw was the table full of dishes.

"Just some tea and some food will be fine, there's no need to spend so much money." Liang Cheng shook his head.

Shen Qingqian heard this when she came in with the cake, and immediately took over the conversation, half-jokingly saying: "This is your uncle's first visit, how can you be so careless? Don't worry, next time you come, it will definitely be a commonplace meal."

"Haha, okay! You have to keep your word, girl." Liang Cheng smiled and pointed at Shen Qingqian, saying this deliberately.

Shen Qingqian blinked, "Of course."

Whether it is "home-cooked" or not, isn't it still her decision? By the time everyone's living conditions are better and they have meat to eat every meal, Liang Cheng will have nothing to say.

Liang Cheng's eyes fell on the cake in her hand, "What is this?"

It looked like a pastry, but it was made in a fancy way, so Liang Cheng was not sure.

The Shen family did not have separate tables for men and women today, and the food was placed on the big round table where they usually ate together.

Because of the large population, the Shen family built a large foldable round table, and they usually eat at the same table.

"This is a new pastry I developed. Since it is made of eggs, flour and other ingredients, let's call it a cake!" Shen Qingqian said casually, and used two clean chopsticks to divide the sixteen-inch cake into small pieces.

Shen Qingning saw her taking action and opened his mouth to shout, but held it back.

Oh my god, what a pity! How could Sixth Sister have the heart to take away such a beautiful thing?

Liang Cheng also felt it was a bit of a pity, but he wanted to taste it even more.

Originally, the cake shouldn't be eaten at this time, but Shen Qingqian thought that it was just food, and in this era of material scarcity, there was nothing wrong with eating it as food.

And by making this cake, she had one less dish to prepare, so it was not impossible to use it as an appetizer.

"Uncle, happy birthday!" Shen Qingqian gave the biggest piece of cake to Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng paused slightly, looked at the big smile on her face, and suddenly felt that the kiss was not in vain.

He took it with a smile, "Let me see what this cake you made is like."

Then he picked up the chopsticks, but was suddenly stopped by Shen Qingqian.

"Wait, I forgot to bring the spoon!" As she said this, she wanted to go to the kitchen, but someone was faster than her.

"Sixth Aunt, I'm going!" Shen Qin ran out quickly.

Shen Qingqian apologized, "It's more convenient to eat this with a spoon."

"It's troublesome," Liang Cheng chuckled, "Only young ladies like you like to do this."

Shen Qingqian was unhappy when she heard this, "You can't say that. I've made farm tools and I like to use silver needles!"

Liking anything cannot be defined by gender, and you cannot be restricted by gender.

Liang Cheng was stunned, and soon pointed at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You, you're still so sharp-tongued!"

At this time, Shen Qin came back again with a small basket containing spoons for the whole family.

"Don't look at me, try it." Seeing that the Shen family members were looking at him, Liang Cheng signaled them to eat their own portions quickly.

Shen Qingqian also took one. She took a bite and nodded secretly. It was quite successful. The sweetness was just right, not greasy. It tasted better than some cake shops.

However, she underestimated the sweet treat's popularity.
