Liu Ji must have a dog's nose, and he went home following the scent.
"Madam, what did you do? Why does it smell so good? I can smell it from a long distance away."
Liu Ji strode in and asked loudly with curiosity while washing his hands.
Qin Yao and Li had just taken the cake out of the oven. Hearing the sound, Li smiled and replied, "Master, you are back. My wife and I were trying to make a cake. It's just out of the oven. You're back just in time."
Qin Yao followed up by saying, "Yes, it's just in time. I'll give you the first bite."
Liu Ji thought, is there such a good thing? Are you sure they don't want to use him to test poison?
But this thing does smell good, it shouldn't be that bad, Liu Ji readily agreed: "Okay, I'll try it."
The heat was not well controlled and the cake crust was burnt. It looked brown and black and the appearance was quite average.
But he couldn't resist the sweet fragrance wafting out from inside. Liu Ji took a deep sniff and tore off a piece. Inside, the burnt brown skin was tender yellow and fluffy. When he pinched it with his fingers, it felt like touching clouds.
Liu Ji tentatively put the tender yellow side into his mouth. It did not have any strange taste. Instead, it was sweet, fragrant and soft, and melted in his mouth. It was very fragrant and delicious.
Unlike the usual pastries, it is not solid at all. It is soft and chewy when you take a bite. Even the burnt skin is slightly bitter but mixed with a strong fragrance, giving it a unique flavor.
"Is it edible?" Qin Yao saw Liu Ji about to reach out to take another piece, and blocked his hand in time, asking uncertainly.
Liu Ji nodded, without even opening his mouth, he tore off another large piece and stuffed it into his mouth, despite Qin Yao's obstruction.
"The two taels of silver were not wasted!" Liu Ji praised vaguely while eating.
While eating, he asked, "Are there any more? The teacher will come over for dinner later, let him have some too."
Since it was just an experiment, I didn’t want to waste materials, so I only made a small iron pot.
Of course, due to the limitation of utensils, the only thing at home that could bake the cake was the army pot made by Qin Yao.
I would never want to part with the porcelain, as I don’t have porcelain bowls that big at home.
Pottery is too fragile, and if it is baked at high temperatures continuously, it will explode due to uneven heating.
So, Qin Yao directly took the rest of the pot into her arms and said, "Liu Ji, you are not allowed to eat it. It's just this small pot. Li and I haven't tasted it yet!"
As for Gong Liangliao, let’s wait until she eats first.
Qin Yao was a little skeptical that it would be successful on the first try, so she called Li over. The two of them brought the pot to the main room, cut the food into small slices with a knife, and each of them took a piece to taste.
Li had never eaten cake and didn't know what cake should taste like, but she thought the cake in her hand tasted very good.
Today we use ordinary white sugar. If we could use honey and add some milk or goat's milk, the taste would probably be even better.
Qin Yao's expression was a little strange. After eating two bites, she stopped moving, her eyes staring blankly at somewhere, as if her soul was no longer there.
Liu Ji wanted to take a piece secretly, but when he walked into the hall, he saw Qin Yao's appearance and waved his hand in front of her: "Madam?"
Qin Yao blinked her eyelashes lightly, her eyes regained their spirit, she ate the cake in her hand in one bite, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "This is the taste."
"What does it smell like?" Liu Ji asked curiously.
Qin Yao replied: "The taste of home."
Li laughed, "So Madam wants to eat the special snacks from her hometown."
She didn't know where Qin Yao's home was, and thought that Qin Yao was homesick. Her heart softened, and she took the empty pot and said, "Since it's done right, make more. Madam can eat as much as she wants."
Having said that, he went back into the kitchen to busy himself, planning to bake two more pots before dinner so that everyone in the family could have a taste.
Little did he know that Liu Ji's heart was already boiling with excitement as he looked at Qin Yao, who was eating with such a satisfied look on her face.
Li didn't know where her hometown was, but he knew.
How could such exquisite snacks be found in that barren land of the Northwest?
Liu Ji observed Qin Yao secretly. She was eating cake and reminiscing about something, perhaps the past, or an old friend from her hometown, and did not notice his inquiry.
Of course, it is also possible that she simply did not care about his inquiry and ignored it.
Liu Ji's gaze became more and more presumptuous, and his intention to explore was blatant.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where this feeling came from.
The person is alive and his appearance has not changed, so it is impossible for him to be transformed by a monster.
etc!
She has superb martial arts and unrivaled strength, why would she flee from famine?
His memory suddenly flashed back to the first time he saw her at the county government gate.
The woman knelt in a corner with her head down and her chest hunched. She was shivering because of her thin clothes and the cold autumn wind. She looked numb and hopeless, and lifeless.
It looks like time is running out.
But when those eyes were raised, there was still a hint of tenacity and moving brilliance in them.
It was because of these eyes that Liu Ji felt pity for her. He ran home to borrow a ox cart and took her home.
I thought that with a pair of eyes like that, this woman must be someone who can endure hardship and maybe she can stay.
Afterwards, those tough yet fragile eyes never appeared again.
In her place was the arrogant, self-confident and ruthless woman Qin Yao.
At first, he was just shocked and terrified, thinking that this was her nature and that he was deceived by her weak appearance.
This is not a little white rabbit at all, it is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing.
But when I think about it today, I can’t connect the changes of this person before and after the short two-day gap.
Liu Ji was lost in thought, and when he came to his senses, most of the remaining cake had already been eaten by Qin Yao.
She lay comfortably in the chair, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the birds flying in the blue sky above the courtyard, and burped lightly with contentment.
Liu Ji immediately forgot his previous speculations and suspicions, and only remembered that he was angry.
"My wife, have you eaten it all?" Liu Ji looked around the room to make sure that she was not hiding the remaining cake, but had really eaten it all.
Qin Yao responded lazily with a "hmm", rolling her eyes at him, "Yes, I ate it all by myself."
A provocative look, asking what you want.
It can be seen that he is in a very good mood, which is why he is so proud.
Liu Ji was stunned again, and asked for some unknown reason: "Do you often eat this cake at home?"
Qin Yao nodded and added: "If you can have another cup of milk tea, it will be perfect."
Liu Ji frowned slightly, "Milk, tea?"
Forgive him for not having traveled far away many times and having never been to her hometown in the northwest. He only knew that milk was milk and tea was tea, and had never heard of milk tea, which was a mixture of the two.
Qin Yao snorted, "Country bumpkin, I feel sorry for you that you have never tasted something as good as this."
Suddenly thinking that she couldn't drink it in the end times, let alone here, Qin Yao's smile suddenly froze.
The country bumpkin is actually me!
