Nan Xiangwan really didn't expect it to be for this reason. No wonder Ye Chaoqun said he disliked roses very much; it turns out he was allergic to rose pollen.
However, since roses are the specialty of this planet, and as the only plant that can be widely cultivated on this planet, they are naturally given a different meaning.
Therefore, Ye Chaoqun never told anyone that he was allergic to rose pollen, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Ye Chaonan told them about this because she trusted them.
Nan Xiangwan said, "I see. That Chaoqun is quite pitiful. He clearly loves the scent of roses so much, but he can't even get close to the rose itself!"
“Yes, I never expected Chaoqun to be so pitiful. But when making rose cakes, rose petals are also placed inside the cakes. Is that okay?” Ouyang Qian asked.
This is indeed a problem; if rose petals are placed in well-drained ground, they might get some pollen on them.
Nan Xiangwan shook her head and said, "There's no need to worry. The pollen will be cleared away, leaving only the fragrance of rose petals!"
Ye Chaonan was relieved to hear Nan Xiangwan say that. The main reason he revealed Ye Chaoqun's secret was to warn them to be careful.
Nangong Chen put so much effort into preparing an apology gift for Ye Chaoqun, it would be terrible if it turned into a big misunderstanding because of pollen allergy.
"Sister Nan, then I'll leave it to you. Nangong Chen, don't think you can get away with this so easily. My sister isn't so easy to fool!" Ye Chaonan said.
Nangong Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was especially grateful to Ye Chaonan for telling him these things, which avoided some unnecessary embarrassment.
Ye Chaonan added, "Then I'll go out and keep my sister company now. These flower petals can be left in the kitchen. I'll tell my sister not to come in here!"
"If this pollen were to drift away, that would be terrible!"
Ye Chaonan didn't want so many people to know about Ye Chaoqun's pollen allergy, so she naturally hoped that Nangong Chen could handle it properly.
After Ye Chaonan left the kitchen, Nangong Chen focused on asking Nan Xiangwan how to make rose cakes.
Ouyang Qian also wanted to learn how to make rose cakes. Although she wasn't very interested in rose cakes, she had planted an osmanthus tree at home and wanted to make osmanthus cakes sometime.
"Haochen really likes osmanthus cakes, I'll try making some myself!"
"Sister, do you think I have the skills to make delicious osmanthus cakes?" Ouyang Qian asked.
Nan Xiangwan smiled and said, "It's definitely no problem. You actually have a real talent for cooking. You can remember every dish I've ever made after just one bite. And the dishes you've made before all taste pretty much the same!"
"If the food street project is approved, the food court will definitely reserve a restaurant for you!"
When Nan Xiangwan praised her like that, Ouyang Qian instantly became a little embarrassed.
He had always dreamed of becoming a chef, and back when he was still on Blue Planet, he often wanted to take some cooking classes.
However, because he had to go to school, he was delayed. He finally graduated, but then the apocalypse happened, and his dream was put on hold.
Now that he has finally settled down on Rose Star, he can finally start thinking about how to realize his dream.
"Sister, please don't lie to me! If you do, I'll definitely be angry!"
"Is my cooking really that good? Actually, I feel it's far inferior to my sister's!" Ouyang Qian said.
Nan Xiangwan smiled and comforted him, saying that although his dishes still had some differences in taste, it was because he hadn't received professional training and had made some mistakes in the steps.
As long as he receives professional training afterward, and Nan Xiangwan corrects some of his professional mistakes, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Qianqian, don't say that! I love your cooking!" Nan Haochen said.
Seeing the young couple still bickering, Nan Xiangwan shook her head and ignored them, quickly walking away.
At this time, Nangong Chen was still learning how to knead dough, which was not an easy task. It could be said that Nangong Chen was pushing himself too hard.
"How about I take charge of the rest of the work?" Nan Xiangwan suggested.
Nangong Chen had tried more than twenty times, but the dough was either too dry or too wet and simply wouldn't take shape.
The work that followed was even more complicated, so Nan Xiangwan decided to skip the first step and let Nangong Chen try decorating the rose cakes himself.
Nangong Chen shook his head and said, "Of course not, didn't I already say that I will personally make a rose cake!"
“Miss Nan, you don’t need to worry about me or help me. If I can’t even do this kind of thing myself, what right do I have to like Chaoqun?” Nangong Chen said.
Seeing his resolute expression, Nan Xiangwan couldn't bring herself to object.
"Alright then, I'll teach you one last time." Nan Xiangwan sighed.
Since he was so determined, Nan Xiangwan was happy to continue teaching him. In fact, she was also happy for Ye Chaoqun. They both had feelings for each other and should be very happy.
Nangong Chen hadn't figured out how to make the dough yet, so Nan Xiangwan went out of the kitchen for some fresh air.
Currently, Ouyang Qian occupies half of the kitchen, while Nangong Chen occupies the other half.
So Nan Xiangwan was superfluous in the kitchen, so she simply came out to rest for a while.
Zhan Siyu said, "Are you coming out to see me?"
Nan Xiangwan burst out laughing; Zhan Siyu was just too narcissistic.
"Yeah, I came out to see how your preparations are going. I came out specifically to supervise. If things don't go well, don't blame me for not feeding you!" Nan Xiangwan joked.
Zhan Siyu laughed and said, "Everyone is preparing in an orderly manner. Look, everyone knows there's a food festival today, and they've all brought out their pots, pans, and dishes!"
"And these banners and colorful lights really create a great atmosphere!"
"How about I take you for a walk?"
Zhan Siyu extended his hand in an inviting gesture, and Nan Xiangwan smiled and took his hand in return.
“Great! I’ve always wanted to go to the night market with you, but I didn’t have the chance when we were on Aquamarine. Now I finally have the chance…” Nan Xiangwan said with a smile.
The young couple held hands tightly as they walked along a temporary food street set up in the residential area.
This food street is a bit shabby; it was just something Nan Xiangwan put together on the spot, mainly to simulate what the food street would look like when it opened in five days, so they wouldn't be in a rush at that time.
