After Chu Shangli and Liz Cheska briefly exchanged their incompatible but not completely unrelated thoughts, Chu He turned on the oven.
A rich, sweet fragrance - just as Chu Shangli expected.
However, rather than saying it was Chu He's craftsmanship, it was actually completely dependent on Chu Moyin's sugar——
Even if Chu He's taste here is better than both her and the Chu Shangli in the past - he will never win.
That was just to help Chu Moyin advertise his products that had not yet been launched.
At the same time, Chu Shangli knew in his heart that his brother could not win.
When the cake is taken out of the tray, the result is already determined——
It was a design so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary—but it couldn't be described as plain either.
Pouring all his thoughts and feelings into the cake and trying his best, but only getting mediocre results - this is the essence of the dessert that Chu He is serving now.
It is fancy and disorganized. Even people without aesthetic sense would find it hard to say that this is an exquisite appearance - there is no novelty, no visual impact, and the strange color combination does not leave any memorable impression on the eyes, but it does give people the feedback that makes people not want to eat it when they see it.
"Wow, what is this..."
"It looks weird, it must not taste good."
"It seems so—or rather, why is the chocolate cake covered in blue? Not only does it lack any chocolate, it even looks like it's over-pigmented—"
"It's not an excess of pigment." Chu He defended himself, "This is the color extracted from butterfly pea flowers. It just happened to be there, so I used it—"
Butterfly pea flowers cannot color oil. Chu He's excuse is too pale.
Even Chu Shangli didn't understand the meaning of his brother's lie here.
It’s not shameful to admit that you have used coloring.
Instead, it will give people a sense of honesty. Using lame lies here will only make people feel that he has no professionalism at all.
However, this unprofessional sophistry should be Chu He's self-righteous perfect calculation -
Chu Shangli didn't think his plan was that ingenious, it was just a meaningless farce.
Before Chu Shang left the room, someone spoke first and said "Actually...", and was then interrupted by another voice.
The person who got ahead of him was Feng Ruye——
The one who interrupted Feng Ruyue was Wei Shengfan.
"Really? Brother, what are you doing? Blue suppresses appetite, and besides, the color of butterfly pea flowers isn't bright enough to stain grease, right?"
“…”
Chu He was stunned for a moment, as if wondering why Wei Shengfan suddenly spoke at this time -
But, he smiled gently as if he had thought of something.
"Ah, ah, I understand. A color scheme like this would suppress your appetite, but it's chocolate cake, right? So suppressing your appetite is natural—but if it looks like you're going to want to eat it all, it's actually bad for your health, right?"
"But, since we've already decided to eat chocolate cake, then health and other things shouldn't matter at all. It's not like we're going to have chocolate cake every day or every meal." Wei Shengfan whispered, and at the same time added a question of his own -
"Besides, isn't this the case that the sugar substitute Chu Moyinsuo makes won't make people gain weight? Doesn't that mean there's even less need to suppress appetite?"
"But..." Chu He said with a smile, "We've only deducted the calories from the sugar. Actually, the chocolate is still very high-quality chocolate. Doesn't that mean the calories in the chocolate haven't decreased?"
