Chapter 5: Delicious Flower Cake



"Qiuhua, have you seen Frog?"

Frog Baby disappeared today. Qiu Yantang went to Frog Baby’s space to take a look, but there was no frog!

"I saw it go out last night, and it disappeared right after it left. Could the frog be some kind of monster?" Qiuhua was clearly frightened when she said this. She patted her chest to calm herself down and not be so scared...

"I guess... I can't!"

As the man and the ghost were chatting, Frog came back and jumped in front of Qiu Yantang with an expression that looked like he wanted to be praised.

Its face was flushed and its movements were a little unsteady.

He opened his mouth and spit out ten bottles of canned yellow peaches, along with various molds for making flower cakes, and even two transparent and artistic flower baskets. In addition, half a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou fell out from the side.

Why half a bottle?

"Did it steal something for you?"

Hearing Qiuhua's words, Frog quickly shook his head, shaking so hard that he seemed to be about to take off.

"You mean you didn't steal it?"

The frog boy nodded quickly, it really wasn’t stolen!

Qiu Yantang stared at it for a long time, confirming that what it said was true, and pointed at those things and asked, "Then where did this thing come from?"

The frog toad drew a circle with its little claws.

Um?

Draw a circle?

This was familiar to her. Could someone have burned it for her? However, she had no relatives other than her master, and she had witnessed her master's ascension with her own eyes.

Qiu Yantang picked up the can and took a look. Wow, it was a real can. The production date was December 2024, which was after she traveled through time!

The space also said that the frog boy would bring back all kinds of things, so there was no reason not to eat them. This yellow peach was crispy, and the juice in the can was very sweet. She also specially gave some to Qiuhua and the frog boy.

"Hmm! My dear, it's delicious. I just don't know how it's made. And what kind of sugar is this white sugar?"

Most of the sugar used in Northeast China is granulated white sugar, which is softer and more delicate in quality. Qiu Yantang thinks it’s all the same.

"It's a sugar that's purer than granulated sugar."

After Qiu Yantang finished speaking, she took a fierce bite of the yellow peach. After that, she kept staring at the Eight Treasures Golden Toad. It also took the things of the Lord of the Underworld...

The Lord of the Underworld burned it for her? I can’t figure it out.

The little frog looked at the yellow peaches in its bowl, then looked at Qiu Yantang, picked up the bowl, turned around and continued eating.

...Qiu Yantang was speechless. I won’t steal your food!

It’s true, Wu Yu’s mother opened the door for Wu Yu, and Wu Yu arrived home.

Not long after, all the roses in the space had matured. Unfortunately, she didn't harvest any rare flowers, so she quickly put them away. With so many roses, she decided to leave half of them to make flower cakes.

[Ding, harvested 100 red roses and 200 red rose seeds.]

The Fire Phoenix Rose on the golden land next to it shows no signs of breaking through the soil. It is obvious that it has been growing for a long time.

The remaining red roses continue to turn into spring mud to protect the flowers.

This time Qiu Yantang didn’t plant roses anymore, but tulips instead, to see if the tulips would bloom into rare tulips!

When Qiu Yantang took out the roses, Qiuhua's eyes widened, mainly because the roses were bright red and so beautiful.

"Here, make flower cakes. Here's the tutorial."

As soon as she said this, Qiuhua felt her heart bleed. "Isn't that too wasteful? How about making a flower basket?"

Qiu Yantang looked around the room. There were some vegetables, but wouldn’t it be a waste if they were used to make flower baskets?

At least the flower cakes are edible!

"Make the flower cakes first, and you can figure out the rest yourself. When they're done, we'll eat together!"

"Okay, little ancestor, just watch!" Qiuhua looked at the tutorial Qiu Yantang gave her, and it didn't seem difficult.

She knows a lot about common plants, how to grow and maintain them, and how to make them delicious. For her, such things are just a piece of cake.

However, Qiu Yantang still had to teach her about the kitchen utensils and oven that Frog brought back for cooking flower cakes...

wrong!!!

There is no electricity!

In the end, Qiu Yantang and Qiu Hua explained the working principle of the oven, and then they worked together to build one with bricks. Fortunately, this was the only step that required electricity to make the flower cake, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do...

No, why didn’t her master burn a generator for her in the first place?

Qiuhua picked the rose petals and scraped some of them away. She ate a piece of fresh rose. It tasted sweet, and the fragrance of the rose was particularly strong.

The most important thing is that the flesh of the rose is particularly thick, and it will definitely taste good after it is cooked.

Qiu Yantang can be said to have invested a lot of money, after all, flour was still quite expensive at that time.

The flower cake was soon ready. You could see the pink color coming through from the outside, and there were some sesame seeds on the outside.

Qiu Yantang couldn't wait to pick up a piece and take a bite. It was a little hot, but it was really fragrant, with a strong rose flavor, and the rose petals inside were even a little juicy.

"It's so hot... huh..." Qiu Yantang said while breathing out, but she was reluctant to spit out the flower cake in her mouth.

"Qiuhua, try it, it's so delicious, you are so awesome!"

The frog boy also looked at Qiu Yantang with longing, and Qiu Yantang handed it a piece. It took the flower cake and took a bite.

Mmm! Delicious!

Then it turned around. Qiu Yantang looked at its appearance and should have known not to feed it. The little frog was good in every way except that it was too protective of its food.

Qiuhua even began to doubt it. She really didn't expect that her craftsmanship was so good!

"How many are left?" Qiu Yantang asked. There were quite a few red roses, but she didn't have much flour at all. She wanted to eat more of these delicious flower cakes!

"There's still thirty dollars left."

"Give me fifteen dollars and I'll exchange it for flour."

Qiu Yantang’s main business is barter, exchanging tofu for soybeans and flower cakes for flour.

She is such a little genius!

She went to Qiu Dingxiang's house first. Qiu Dingxiang was flattered to see her come in person.

"Ding Xiang, I made some flower cakes. One bowl of flour and two cakes. Do you want some?"

"want!"

Even if the aunt doesn't give him cakes, he still has to give him flour.

Before he even got the cake, he asked his eldest daughter-in-law to get flour for Qiu Yantang.

His eldest son is Qiu Guangdong, the current village chief. His eldest daughter-in-law is Wei Dengzhi, and they have three children, Dahua, Gousheng and Goudan.

The youngest son, Qiu Guangbei, was born in old age and is not married yet.

Wei Dengzhi was also a down-to-earth person. He immediately filled a large bowl of flour from the flour bag for Qiu Yantang. Actually, he didn't have much flour at home.

But the little ancestor wants to eat, so he must be satisfied.
