Chapter 31 Who hasn’t eaten yet?
When Lu Jinsen returned, the sun had already set.
Before dark, Meng Chuyuan spread the evenly mixed flour on a plate, then cut it into small pieces with a knife, sprinkled some dried osmanthus flowers on it, and then covered it with a steamer cloth and steamed it in a pot.
Half an hour later, the first pot of osmanthus sponge cake came out of the oven, and then she started steaming the second pot.
When Lu Jinsen came back, he saw wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen. A sweet fragrance hit him in the face, immediately waking up his stomach.
When he walked into the yard, he found that Meng Chuyuan had already prepared the candied hawthorns and placed them on the dining table. When he passed by, he deliberately stopped for a while, reached out and took a string of hawthorns to look at them.
[Does this child want to eat candy? Hahahaha]
[It seems that Lu Jinsen can't resist Sister Meng's delicious food temptation.]
[Lu Jinsen, stop eating! Put down the candied haws, you hear me?]
[If the young master takes a bite, his character will be ruined hahahaha]
However, the audience in the live broadcast room guessed wrong.
Lu Jinsen had no intention of eating it. He was just a little shocked that such beautiful candied hawthorns were made by Meng Chuyuan.
He put the hawthorn back and walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Lu Jinsen's attention was attracted by the freshly baked osmanthus sponge cake.
Meng Chuyuan felt someone approaching, she turned around to take a look, then continued kneading the powder.
Lu Jinsen walked in and walked around aimlessly.
After a while, he came to Meng Chuyuan and asked about the progress: "How much is left?"
"There's still a pot of osmanthus sponge cake left to steam."
Lu Jinsen looked up and saw that the sweet-scented osmanthus sponge cake that Meng Chuyuan said had not been put into the pot was placed next to the stove. Seeing that she was still kneading the flour, he asked in confusion: "What are you going to do now?"
“Pan-fried red bean glutinous rice cakes.”
[Ahhhh, the pan-fried red bean glutinous rice cakes are my favorite, they are fragrant and delicious, I look forward to staying here]
[This cake is really delicious, especially when it is freshly baked, hot, crispy and soft.]
Is there anything Sister Meng can’t do? I don’t think there is.
[Sister Meng, why don’t you consider opening a dessert shop? I’m willing to queue up to buy even if there are purchase restrictions!!]
Who married this woman?! Come out and I'm going to fight you!
Lu Jinsen thought it would be a good idea to make more, after all, he didn't know how many villagers would come tomorrow. But when he thought about using the stove in the kitchen to cook all this, how long would it take to get people in line for dinner?
He hesitated for a moment and asked doubtfully, "So you haven't started cooking yet?"
Meng Chuyuan shook his head lightly and said, "No."
Lu Jinsen: “…”
After climbing the mountain with great effort in the afternoon and then repairing the wall for the old man, Lu Jinsen now felt tired and hungry. He thought he would be able to have a meal when he came back, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.
"How can I help?" He also wanted to help Meng Chuyuan catch up on the progress and free up the kitchen for cooking.
Meng Chuyuan tilted her head to look at him, a hint of relief in her eyes: "Please get rid of the osmanthus sponge cake in the pot. It's been steamed for quite a while, it should be ready to be taken out of the pot."
"Okay." Lu Jinsen did as she said, took the steamed cake out of the pot, looked at the osmanthus sponge cake placed in front of the stove and said, "And we need to steam this flat sponge cake too, right?"
She nodded: "Yes, remember to cover it with a cloth before putting it in."
at the same time……
The other two groups of guests happened to meet each other on the street and then got together.
Qi Zhen: "Sister Keke, Sister Yanyan, what a coincidence."
When Liao Jiake saw Qi Zhen, she was quite surprised: "What a coincidence, you guys didn't go back either?"
Qi Zhen scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "We haven't bought the gifts yet."
He originally wanted to buy a kite, but Qi Yan didn't want to and scolded him, resulting in them wandering the streets like homeless children.
Seeing Liao Jiake carrying a bag of things, Qi Zhen's eyes revealed curiosity and envy: "What did you buy?"
"We bought gloves and some stationery for the kids."
Liao Jiake thought gloves were useful as they could protect farmers' hands while working. Then, thinking that there were quite a few left-behind children in the village, she bought a lot of pens and notebooks of various colors.
Although they had already bought the gifts, they still couldn't find a car to go back.
Liao Jiake looked at Qi Zhen's envious and somewhat disappointed expression, and she comforted him in disguise: "I think it's getting late, you guys should go buy it quickly. Yanyan and I will find a car now, and then we can go back together."
"Thank you, sisters." With Liao Jiake's comfort, Qi Zhen seemed to cheer up again.
"Go quickly, Yanyan and I will be waiting for you here."
[Because Coco knows it’s not easy to find a car, that’s why she said that. Who understands?]
[My Cocoa baby is so kind, woooo, I wish their friendship will last forever]
[Yanyan is also very good, acquiescing to her sister's behavior]
If any directors are looking for casting, I highly recommend Liao Jiake and Qi Zhen! Let's have them work together, it would be awesome!
In the end, Qi Zhen and his team hurriedly bought two books, and when they came back, Liao Jiake had already found a car for them.
However, the driver who was going the same way as them was busy and couldn't leave quickly. They couldn't find a suitable car at the moment, so they could only wait.
After nightfall, the autumn wind gradually became cooler, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and there were few vehicles passing by.
When they went out in the afternoon, the sun was shining and a little hot, so they didn't wear much. Now they feel a little cold outside.
The four of them stood at the door of a convenience store waiting. Gusts of wind blew, and the three girls shivered with cold.
"When can we go back? I'm a little hungry." Qi Yan hugged her arms and rubbed them together, getting a little impatient waiting.
Liao Jiayan sighed softly and agreed, "I feel a little bit too."
Liao Jiake felt a little sorry for her sister. She turned her head to look at the convenience store behind her and said to them, "I still have some money left. How about we go in and buy something to fill our stomachs?"
Qi Zhen: "We happen to have some left over. It should be enough to buy two buckets of instant noodles."
…
Lu Jinsen finished steaming the last pot of osmanthus sponge cake for Meng Chuyuan. He thought that was the end of it, but he didn't expect that Meng Chuyuan's red bean glutinous rice cake was already done.
"Fry now?" Seeing Meng Chuyuan holding a plate of wrapped red bean glutinous rice cakes, Lu Jinsen looked a little disappointed.
Meng Chuyuan: "Yes, what else?"
There was disappointment in Lu Jinsen's eyes. Seeing her busying around, and embarrassed to say that he was hungry, he pursed his lips and when he lowered his eyes, his gaze suddenly fell on the steamed osmanthus sponge cake.
After a moment, he looked up at Meng Chuyuan, his eyes glancing at the pieces of osmanthus sponge cake, and said meaningfully, "Can I eat these?"
Meng Chuyuan glanced at him meaningfully and said with a smile: "Are you hungry?"
