Chapter 40 Because It Looks Good
"Yes, I will."
Bai Yunfei scratched his head, finally reacting, and asked curiously, "The director wants to make peach blossom cake for the prince?"
“…Who said it was made for him?”
Our second director attaches great importance to face, so it is impossible for him to admit it.
She swallowed guiltily, "I think the brothers are too tired from their shifts, can't I do it for them?"
"Haha, sure."
Bai Yunfei did not expose it and took his director to the kitchen.
"To make peach blossom cake, you need Chinese yam, glutinous rice flour, and sugar..."
He explained while rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for raw materials, while Shen Yue listened attentively and washed the petals.
When she heard the word sugar, she frowned slightly and interrupted him, "Can't we just not put sugar in it?"
"Of course not."
Bai Yunfei patiently explained, "Basically, all pastries need sugar, and you need to put more sugar to make them delicious. If you put less sugar, the texture won't be delicate enough, and the taste won't be sweet enough."
"I see."
Seeing that his director was a little discouraged, Bai Yunfei raised his eyebrows and said, "However, if the director wants to make this for someone who doesn't like sweets, you can replace some of the sugar with honey. This way it won't be too sweet, but still tastes good."
"No, I told you I'm not doing it for him!" The director was a little exasperated.
Bai Yunfei pretended to be innocent: "Ah? But I didn't say who the person who doesn't like sweets is, Director... Haha!"
The second director blushed when his thoughts were exposed, and picked up a spoon as if to hit someone.
"Well, you're really brave, aren't you? I even dare to tease the director!"
"No, Director, calm down..."
Bai Yunfei ran out of the door as if his feet were greased, shouting as he ran:
"The ingredients and molds are all on the counter. Remember not to overheat or underheat!"
Shen Yue was the only one left in the kitchen. She touched her burning face and felt very upset.
Was her behavior that obvious? How did Ah Fei see it right away?
She pursed her lips, and angrily put the glutinous rice flour into the pot and fried it, then steamed the yam into a paste and put it together with the chopped peach blossoms.
When she was kneading the dough, she picked up a spoon and added two spoonfuls of sugar, but when she added the third spoonful, she honestly reached out to the honey jar beside her.
Knead the dough, put it into the mold, press it tightly, remove it from the mold, and steam it in a pot. After a while, the fragrant peach blossom cake is ready.
She was carrying two large plates of peach blossom cakes as she walked towards the study. Before she reached the door, more than a dozen shadow guards emerged from all directions and surrounded her.
"Director, is this for us? You're so thoughtful!"
"Director, you have great cooking skills. This peach blossom cake is so delicious!"
"The Director is awesome! The Director is awesome!"
"Director, there's more..."
"Hey, eat less, don't eat it all!" Shen Yue said while protecting the plate, but the shadow guards seemed not to hear, and stretched out their claws one after another.
The crowd gathered together, not noticing Xiao Yuheng with a sullen face standing in front of the window.
"Chen Er!" He said loudly.
The shadow guards were frightened by the sound and fled in all directions, returning to the roof, treetops, rockery, and behind the water tank.
"Your Majesty?"
Shen Yue showed a happy expression, holding the remaining half plate of peach blossom cake and walked a few steps towards the window, looking at him through the window.
"What a fuss! Is this the person you trained in the Second Division?"
Xiao Yuheng didn't know what had irritated him, and his face looked sour.
You could say he had a sour face, but when his eyes fell on Shen Yue's new clothes, his brows suddenly relaxed.
It was clearly just an ordinary director's uniform, but it looked so good on Shen Er. Every stitch and thread seemed to be tailor-made for him, fitting his slightly thin figure perfectly.
His waist is so thin...
Chen Yue didn't notice the change in Xiao Yuheng. She just laughed dryly and complained in her heart: I left the beautiful sunshine to make peach blossom cake for you, and I got scolded by you. I really deserve it!
But considering that Xiao Yuheng had just made her new clothes, she decided not to bother with him for the time being.
She forced a smile and said softly:
"I made peach blossom cake for the prince and just let them taste it, hehe..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuheng looked down at the peach blossom cake in her hand, his eyes shining.
Even though he had a mold, he still made the pastry crooked. This Shen Er was just as stupid as his mother.
He curled his lips and wanted to say yes, but what came out of his mouth was: "This prince said that he doesn't like sweet things..."
"Forget it then."
Shen Yue turned her head calmly, but the anger in her heart was already burning.
Damn it, I gave you face, didn't I? I shouldn't have made peach blossom cake for you. I wouldn't have let you eat it even if I had fed it all to the pigs, ah no, to the shadow guards!
"Chen Er, come back." The man's voice was a little anxious.
Shen Yue turned back slowly, with a fake smile, "Your Highness, don't you want to eat?"
Xiao Yuheng said stubbornly, "I only said I don't like sweets. When did I say I don't want to eat them anymore?"
"Haha." You can do it, you are the prince and you are right.
Seeing that she no longer refuted, Xiao Yuheng's eyebrows suddenly curved, "Come in."
"oh."
Shen Yue walked into the study slowly and placed the plate on the desk.
Xiao Yuheng picked up a piece of cake and examined it carefully. "Did you really make this?"
"Yes, Your Highness, please try it." It tastes like the one your mother made.
"Hmm." Xiao Yuheng nodded, took a small bite and savored it carefully. The peach blossom cake melted in his mouth, with a hint of sweetness that quickly spread between his lips and teeth.
Shen Yue sat opposite him and looked at him quietly, and couldn't help but curled her lips.
Are all the princes so polite when eating? If it were her, she would have finished three pieces by now.
Even though she kept complaining in her heart, when Xiao Yuheng stopped chewing, she couldn't help but lift her body and move forward.
"How's it going?"
Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows, "It's a bit sweet."
"Tsk, I knew it."
Shen Yue was slightly disappointed. She picked up the plate and was about to take it away, but was suddenly grabbed by a big hand on her wrist.
The man's eyes turned up, a smile flickering in his eyes, "Sweet but not greasy, very delicious."
"real?"
When Shen Yue heard this, her eyes, which had been dim just now, instantly lit up, and she couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth.
The man looked at her, the smile in the corner of his eyes growing wider. "I just praised you a few words, and you're so happy? Huh?"
"Tsk, that's not the case. I succeeded in making peach blossom cake the first time I made it. Can't I just be happy that I'm a good cook?"
Shen Yue explained in a pale voice. Because she felt too guilty, her cheeks were a little red and her eyelashes trembled, which was very cute.
The man looked at her and lost himself in thought. Something was clearly growing in his clear eyes.
"Why is Your Highness staring at me?" Shen Yue was already feeling guilty, and after he looked at her like that, she became even more nervous.
The man spoke slowly, his voice gentle and clear: "Because it looks good."
