Chapter 292 No, My Chunchun is Not Available
Qian Duoduo looked at Wang Xiaoshu with sympathy, "You really have a miserable life. How can there be such a cruel father in the world? They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He is worse than an animal."
After the words fell, Qian Duoduo reacted, "I'm sorry, I said your father like this in front of you, you won't be angry, right? But your father is really a jerk!"
Wang Xiaoshu shook his head. "I'm not angry, because from childhood, whenever my father came home from gambling and lost money, he would beat me up. Sometimes, even when my mother was home, he would beat her too. I don't have any feelings for my so-called father."
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo's eyes became even more sympathetic to her. "Okay, you won't suffer anymore in the future. You've already suffered all the hardships, so there will be no more suffering in the future."
Lan Xiyue said, "I'll prescribe some medicine for you to expel the cold from your body. Then you won't feel so painful when you have your period in the future."
Chuchun and Chuxia came back at this time, "Miss!"
Lan Xiyue nodded. "Are you back? Where are Yunlei and the others?"
Chu Xia said, "They are back too, Miss. When we came back, we saw a lot of people searching for you on the street. They were the Princess's guards."
Lan Xiyue said "hmm" and said, "Let them find it as they please."
After saying that, Lan Xiyue looked at Wang Xiaoshu and Liang Ti, "Nanny, don't let your imagination run wild. You guys go back first. I'll have Chuxia bring the medicine to Xiaoshu later. Xiaoshu, remember to boil it and drink it every day."
Liang Ti nodded, "Thank you, Miss."
Wang Xiaoshu stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Miss."
Qian Duoduo took the ice cream and scooped a spoonful. "Hmm... It's delicious, Yueyue. What were you thinking about? How did you make this? I've never eaten it before."
Lan Xiyue thought to herself: Sister, you must not have eaten this before. She just spent a thousand points to redeem this big ice cream.
Lan Xiyue picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful, and started eating. "I won't tell you."
Spring Ice Whisper: Lan Xiyue and Qian Duoduo's Frozen Romance
On a spring afternoon, sunlight filtered through the window lattice, dappling the smiles of Lan Xiyue and Qian Duoduo. The two sat together in the small courtyard of the Qian residence, sipping freshly brewed Longjing tea and chatting cheerfully.
"Duoduo, does your family own a snack shop?" Lan Xiyue suddenly thought of this, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Qian Duoduo nodded upon hearing this, his face brimming with pride. "Yes, our 'Qian's Dim Sum Shop' is quite famous in the Imperial City."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows and smiled: "If you make some of this and sell it in your pastry shop, I think business will be very hot."
"This?" Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up, as if he saw endless business opportunities. "Yes, yes, but the weather will cool down in more than a month. If I sell these in this month, I'm sure I can make a lot of money! I can also make some early next summer and sell them. I can make a lot of money all summer long!"
Qian Duoduo couldn't wait to pull Lan Xiyue's sleeve, his eyes full of anticipation. "Yueyue, how did you make this? I guarantee that if you sell this in a store, it will be a big hit!"
Lan Xiyue chuckled and stood up, saying, "Come on, let's go to the kitchen and I'll show you how to make it. Oh, and call the chef from your pastry shop so I can teach her. But she has to be someone trustworthy, otherwise if you learn the craft and someone else takes it away, you'll be making wedding clothes for them."
Chuchun was itching to listen to this, her eyes sparkling. "Miss, can I learn this? Then, when I learn it, I can make it for you anytime you want. You don't have to cook it yourself then."
Lan Xiyue nodded after hearing this and said, "Of course, you are my maid, so you must learn all these."
The group came to the kitchen and Lan Xiyue began to demonstrate the process of making ice cream.
She first mixes milk and sugar, bringing it to a simmer. Then, she slowly pours the mixture into the beaten egg yolks, stirring as she goes, until a smooth custard forms. She then cools the custard in ice water, stirring occasionally to prevent lumps. Once cooled, she places it in a mixture of ice and salt, using the ice-salt mixture to cool the custard, which gradually solidifies into ice cream.
Throughout the entire process, Lan Xiyue operated smoothly, leaving Qian Duoduo and Chuchun staring intently at the scene, secretly amazed.
Qian Duoduo looked at the ice cream in Lan Xiyue's hand, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration. "Yueyue, after all those masters who were poached, I can't trust them completely anymore. Who knows if they'll compromise for some benefit or coercion? I think Chuchun is pretty good. When we make Chuchun in the future, why don't we just send it to a pastry shop and sell it? That way, others won't learn from it."
Chuchun saw that Lan Xiyue's forehead was sweating and said with a smile: "Miss, you and Miss Qian go back to the room to rest. I will practice what you just did."
Qian Duoduo's gaze shifted between Xiaohong and Chuchun, with a mixture of blame and praise: "You should learn from her, Xiaohong. Look at Chuchun, she's so amazing, always thinking about making something new for Yueyue. What about you? You just slack off all day long."
Xiaohong pursed her lips in grievance and muttered, "I have no talent for cooking, so how can I compare to Sister Chuchun?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo gently tapped Xiaohong's forehead, saying with a mixture of laughter and reproach: "Hey! Little girl, you've learned to talk back?"
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left the kitchen. Her Chunchun was indeed amazing. She understood everything she was told and she didn't have to worry about anything.
Back in the room, Lan Xiyue was lying leisurely on the rattan chair. Qian Duoduo followed her in and looked at her enviously: "Yueyue, can you lend me your Chunchun for a while and let her cook delicious food for me for a while, okay?"
Lan Xiyue raised her head and answered without thinking, "No, my Chunchun is not available for loan."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes and muttered softly, "Stingy."
As night fell, Chuchun, under the guidance of Lan Xiyue, carefully prepared a pot of hot pot base. The aroma filled the air, making people salivate.
Lan Shenye was also attracted by the fragrance and joined them uninvited.
Several people sat in a circle in the yard, with a large steaming copper pot in the middle, filled with red oil and various spices.
They chatted while eating various ingredients.
Qian Duoduo was sweating profusely while eating, but he still exclaimed: "It's so delicious! I didn't know you could eat food hot like this before. If I eat this hot pot in winter, my body will definitely be warm. Even now, I'm sweating profusely while eating, but I can't stop at all."
Lan Xiyue was also sweating profusely. She glanced at the ice basin beside her, but felt that the coolness was no way to relieve the burning sensation in her mouth. She smiled and said to Qian Duoduo, "Yes, that's the charm of this hot pot. It makes people want to stop."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
