Chapter 27 Out of Control
Mother Lin took the soft red date cake and could clearly see the neat little pores on it. When she pinched it, she found it was soft and elastic.
I was greatly surprised and tried to put it in my mouth. I could smell the strong aroma of milk and red dates. It did not fall apart like egg cakes. It was chewy and delicate in texture, and full of fragrance. I wonder how much better it tastes than those cakes sold outside.
Mother Lin stopped reminiscing and went out to call Father Lin and the others. After finishing their breakfast, the others were still discussing which family had made the delicious meal.
When they heard Lin's mother calling them to the kitchen, smart people like Wang Yanmei and Wu Fangfang remembered what their mother-in-law said and realized something at once.
But there are still some naive people like Lin Jianguo who don't understand what's going on and keep saying, "What's up, mom? I'm going to work now."
Seeing her stupid son, Lin's mother glared at him helplessly, then turned around and went back to the kitchen, saying, "Come if you want."
Lin Jianguo was confused by his mother's words, but seeing that his wife and children had already gone to the kitchen, he hurried to follow them.
In the kitchen, Lin Xia had already cut the red date cake. Seeing her sister-in-law and Hu Zi coming in, she picked up the red date cake and handed it to them.
Wang Yanmei took it and took a look, confirming that the previous fragrance was this one. She picked it up and tried a bite, and felt that she had never eaten such delicious pastries. It would be a waste if her sister-in-law didn't become a cook with such skills. Unfortunately, there were very few female chefs in this era, and most of them were male chefs.
Hu Zi thanked his aunt, took the red date cake, and couldn't wait to take a bite. The sweet and soft taste was delicious to him.
When the Lin family came in, the kitchen was as crowded as it was a few days ago. Lin Xia asked them to get the food from the pot themselves.
She also picked up a piece of the surrounding corner and tasted it. Nowadays, there are ovens, so she used to bake it. That kind of thing requires oil to prevent it from drying out, but this kind of thing that is steamed without oil is more moist and chewy. The sweetness is just right for Lin Xia, sweet but not greasy.
After taking a sip, Lin Xia nodded approvingly. It felt good to succeed in one go.
However, the people in the Lin family who had just finished breakfast were reluctant to eat any more after taking one or two bites. It was too sweet and delicious.
Lin Xia looked at everyone taking small bites of the red date cakes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "If you can't eat it now, then take it to work to eat."
Unfortunately, she guessed wrong. It was because it was too delicious, not because she couldn’t bear to eat it.
After listening to this, everyone finished their meal in a few bites. It was almost time to go to work, so Lin Xia wrapped each person with oil paper from home and took them with them.
Lin Jianjun has to go to the countryside to repair a machine today. He is in a good mood holding the red date cake. Usually, there are no restaurants in the countryside, so they will bring food in advance and eat when they are hungry. When this red date cake is taken out, it is so delicious that it will kill you.
Except for Wu Fangfang, everyone else went out happily. Lin Xia put the remaining red date cakes in an iron basin and prepared to start steaming the next pot.
When she was making the red date batter, she didn't weigh it. At first, there were more red dates, and later there was more batter. She had to cook all the red dates again.
Anyway, there are many people in the Lin family, so we can make more and not have to worry about not being able to finish it.
Lin Xia was busy steaming the next pot, and time passed slowly.
A cute voice came from outside the door, "Sister Xiaoxia~"
As soon as Lin Xia heard the voice, she knew it was An An. She looked at the time and it was only nine o'clock. The time they had agreed to meet yesterday was half past nine.
When Lin Xia came out of the kitchen, she saw Lu Yuxiu had just put An An down. The little girl was wearing a red dress and was very cute, like a pampered little girl from later generations.
Lin Xia squatted down, opened her arms and waited for An An to come over.
As soon as An An got off the ground, he saw the beautiful sister Xiao Xia. She ran over with her short legs and threw herself into Lin Xia's arms.
Lin Xia picked up the little girl, kissed her soft little face, and looked at the smiling man.
Lin Xia looked away, hugged An An and said, "Let's go and eat cakes with sister."
As soon as she said this, Lin Xia realized that she would unconsciously use repetition of words when talking to a child. But looking at the little guy's expectant eyes, she no longer felt conflicted and decided to just use repetition of words.
Lin Xia put the little one on the ground, picked up a piece of red date cake and handed it to An An. The cake was soft and sticky, so she was not worried that she would choke.
When I looked up, I saw Lu Yuxiu following in. He was too tall and he didn't pay attention to lowering his head when he came in, and was almost hit on the head.
"Here you go." Lin Xia smiled secretly and handed the red date cake to the man.
Lu Yuxiu looked at the white and tender fingers in front of him, reached out to take them, and their fingers touched for a moment.
When Lin Xia saw the man caught it, she immediately withdrew her hand. The place that was touched felt numb and she seemed to lose consciousness for a moment.
Lu Yuxiu tried a bite. He didn’t like sweets, but the sweetness of the soft cake in his mouth was just right.
Looking at the little guy who was eating so sweetly, a smile flashed in Lu Yuxiu's eyes. He knew that Lin Xia was a good cook, but he didn't know that she could also make pastries.
The sweet taste of the red date cake seemed to reach his stomach, and he felt that time was peaceful and good.
Lin Xia looked at the man eating and was struck by his handsomeness again. She actually thought that the man was very attractive when he was wearing a shirt and lowering his head to eat. His shirt was neither thick nor thin, and his mouth was very nice. He didn't smack his lips while eating.
Lin Xia came back to her senses and realized that she was being teased unintentionally again. She thought about it and picked up another piece of red date cake and handed it over.
The man was about to reach out to take it, but Lin Xia moved her hand away and handed the red date cake to the man's lips.
Lin Xia saw that the man did not open his mouth, so she raised her eyes and met the man's deep eyes, which seemed to have turned into an abyss that was about to suck her in.
Looking at the man's dangerous eyes, Lin Xia felt that she seemed to have used the wrong method and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She was about to withdraw her hand, but the man grabbed her hand.
The man held her hand and slowly put the pitiful red date cake into his mouth. Lin Xia's heart beat faster and faster, and it seemed as if her hand was also eaten by him.
The red date cake was not big, and the man ate it in one bite. He held her hand but did not let go. When he took it from his mouth, it accidentally touched his lips.
Lin Xia only felt a touch of warmth and nothing else. She tried to struggle free, but the man's other hand held her waist.
The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, and a clear masculine scent brushed against her face. She knew it was Lu Yuxiu's scent.
Looking at the face getting closer and closer, Lin Xia felt her face burning, her heart pounding, and she didn't know where to look.
Thinking of what happened in the Lu family recently, Lin Xia inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation in her heart and closed her eyes devoutly.
Lu Yuxiu was startled by the little girl's actions at first, but when he saw the mischief flashing in the little girl's watery eyes, he couldn't help but hold her hand.
Until things started to get out of control.
