“A sweet taste is fermenting.” Bai Qi appeared out of nowhere, holding a delicate little crystal wine glass in his hand, half-filled with blood of a magnificent color, like blood itself.
Xiu Qiyu didn't speak. In fact, those who returned to Earth with Ye Xiruo naturally understood that this thing was called a cake, and people on Earth would buy one for their birthdays. Of course, you could also buy one if you wanted to try it.
Those cakes with their diverse shapes, displayed in exquisite shop windows, are like works of art, making it impossible to bear to touch or destroy their beauty.
However, what Xiu Qiyu was thinking about now was whose birthday it was today. Could it be Xiao Yezi's?
The six chefs were also very interested in cakes, but they were all busy with their own things. The eight slaves gradually adapted to their new roles and helped the six chefs with whatever they could.
Some of them were already junior spirit chefs, capable of preparing some simple dishes. However, Ye Xiruo repeatedly warned them not to overexert themselves and to wait until they had fully recovered before returning to work.
The others treated them very well and did not regard them as lowly slaves. They felt the kindness from everyone, which finally put their minds at ease after being anxious for the past few days.
Thanks to Heaven for giving them such a good master, they will definitely work hard to prove their worth.
It will not be a waste of the master's elixirs and painstaking efforts.
"Alright." After dyeing the last rose a beautiful bright red with strawberry jam, Ye Xiruo announced that the cake was finished.
"Night Alchemist, you are simply the darling of Heaven."
Red Wing sighed from the side.
"You're not the only one who's said that."
Dishes meticulously prepared by the six chefs were laid out one by one on the long table. Various spirit wines were also repackaged into bottles, labeled, and arranged in a row, making it easy for everyone to find their favorite spirit wine at a glance.
Tonight, the chefs also made many exquisite snacks, which were arranged on beautiful plates and looked very appetizing.
Of course, various exquisite dishes were also placed in a special area, emitting an enticing aroma.
Zishu's eyes lingered on the delicacies and spirit wine, as if he were considering which one to eat first.
Bai Qi's eyes also began to light up. Although he was the eldest young master of the noble Bai family, he had never seen so many exquisite dishes, snacks, and spirit wines piled together. The scene was simply too shocking.
"Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, our Zuixianju can be considered a success, because we gathered together to celebrate that our hard work and effort have finally paid off. Of course, I believe that Zuixianju will only get better and better in the future, which requires everyone's continued efforts."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you, Master Ye Dan."
"I now declare the banquet open."
Although it's called a banquet, it's really no different from a buffet. It's just a way to celebrate and relax everyone, to ease their tension.
As soon as Ye Xiruo finished speaking, she saw her senior brother run up to the cake, drooling.
"Senior Brother, are you interested in my new dessert?"
"Little by little, out of curiosity."
This lie can be ruthlessly exposed in an instant.
"Brother Xiuqi, I'd like to ask you to freeze it. I heard it tastes better that way."
A chilling aura appeared in Xiu Qiyu's palm, and then a thin, transparent layer of ice appeared on the large cake, but it quickly disappeared. It even made one wonder if what they had just witnessed was an illusion.
"Alright, now we can cut it up and eat it. Please everyone get your plates ready."
"They're here."
As soon as Ye Xiruo finished speaking, everyone came running over, their hands carrying empty plates, their expressions extremely solemn.
"Heh~~~~~" So everyone's eyeing her big cake?
However, the cake-making process is not very complicated. Tonight, she simply made the cake and did not deliberately preserve its spiritual energy. Therefore, the cake still retains about 20-30% of its spiritual energy.
However, I believe that everyone's attention was mainly focused on the deliciousness of the cake, rather than the spiritual essence it embodied.
"Brother Xiu Qi, it's up to you now." Cutting the cake should be something Brother Xiu Qi excels at.
"good."
A flash of icy sword energy appeared at Xiu Qiyu's fingertips, and soon pieces of cake floated in mid-air. Each piece was cut perfectly, and even had a thin layer of ice on its surface.
The first cake, of course, belonged to Ye Xiruo. From the outside, it didn't look like anything special, but when the cake in mid-air landed precisely on Ye Xiruo's plate, the excess cake on the outside slowly opened up, revealing a lifelike carved rose inside.
This blatant display of affection made Ye Xiruo blush slightly; she never expected that Brother Xiu Qi would be so romantic.
Thank you.
The second cake was for Zishu, so naturally there were no surprises.
"Xiu Qiyu, you've forgotten your friends because of your looks. Why does Junior Sister get such a beautiful flower while I get nothing?"
"If you like, I wouldn't mind getting you a turtle."
"Hmph, I mind."
Soon, large slices of cake were placed on each person's plate.
Some ate it with spoons, some licked it with their tongues, and some picked it up with chopsticks. Everyone ate this special dessert in their own preferred way.
It's icy cold at first, but soon the sweet and refreshing taste, mixed with a hint of jam, spreads throughout your mouth, melting instantly – that's the feeling cream gives.
The cream, combined with the soft cake underneath, creates an irresistible flavor.
Aside from Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu, everyone was tasting cake for the first time—this magical dessert. They were quickly captivated by its flavor.
"It's so delicious."
"I have never eaten such a unique dessert before."
"Master Ye Dan, I wonder if I have the honor of learning how to make this cake from you."
"Of course, no problem. Do you think Zuixianju should launch desserts like cakes?" It just doesn't seem right.
"Such a delicious dessert, I'm sure it will make the people of Mo City question their existence." Bai Qi licked the plate clean. He had never done anything so shameful and rude before. He was willing to risk everything for this cake.
The plates that Zishu and Huarong had were so clean they didn't seem to need washing.
"After the initial excitement of our opening fades, how about we introduce cakes to attract everyone's attention?"
"That would be perfect."
