Since it was made the night before and there was no refrigerator, Zhiyin was worried that the cream on the outside of the cake would melt.
Therefore, she carefully packed it, placed it in a large basin, covered it, and wrapped it tightly with three layers of cloth before putting it into the well.
The cool water from the well can provide temporary cooling.
"Yinyin, what do you need to do?"
Xing Luxi gazed intently at Zhiyin with her deep-set eyes and asked gently.
He was very close, his cool yet hot breath tickling the back of Zhiyin's neck.
Zhiyin didn't care at this moment, but looked at him mischievously and said happily, "Hehe, help me lift the cake up from the bottom."
After saying that, he raised an eyebrow, signaling Xing Luxi to start moving along with him.
"It's okay, I can handle it!"
Xing Luxi looked down and saw the large object at the bottom of the well. He immediately took the rope from Zhiyin's hand, and with a pull, the object slowly rose up.
Wow! Brother Xi, you're really strong! Have you studied martial arts?
Upon seeing this, Zhiyin's eyes immediately lit up, after all, the cake was quite heavy as it floated upstream in the water.
"Yes, I've studied it!"
Upon being praised, Xing Luxi's ears turned slightly red. Although her hand gestures remained unchanged, she subtly curled the corners of her lips.
Soon, the cake was brought out.
Almost without Zhiyin saying a word, Xing Luxi took the initiative to place the cake on the table in the center of the banquet.
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers all looked over curiously, and a cacophony of noisy and curious voices rose and fell.
"Wow, what is that? It's so tall and big."
"Yes, yes, how come it's so big? It almost takes up half the table!"
…
Zhiyin winked mischievously at them, "Hehe, good stuff!"
After saying that, he quickly and carefully unwrapped the cake.
I couldn't help but feel uneasy, hoping the cake wouldn't collapse.
Otherwise it would be awkward!
Fortunately, this embarrassing situation did not occur.
The moment it was opened, a round, exceptionally beautiful, and brightly colored cake appeared before everyone's eyes.
The cake is topped with a variety of colorful and vibrant fresh fruits, while the sides are covered with delicate, cloud-like white cream.
It looks like a work of art, exceptionally beautiful!
"Wow, is this food? How come it's so big?"
"Is that fruit on top? And what are those white things around it? They look so pretty, so clean, and so white!"
"Yes, yes, is it just my imagination? Why do I smell a sweet fragrance?"
…
Immediately, the villagers began to discuss the matter with curiosity and fascination.
Their eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
Old Huang, Aunt Xing, and the shopkeepers immediately came over and surrounded the cake.
Zhiyin didn't keep them in suspense and began to explain to the shopkeepers, "This is a cake, which can be eaten on birthdays or major holidays."
After saying this, he saw that everyone was so hungry that they were almost drooling.
He quickly grabbed a blade and started cutting, giving a small piece to everyone at the banquet.
The second brother and sister-in-law were in charge of distributing the food to everyone.
As for the other villagers who came to watch out of curiosity, there were none; there simply weren't enough to go around.
Seeing their envious looks, Zhiyin said to them shyly, "Uncles and aunts, this is really not enough. I'll treat you to a meal next time."
"It's alright, it's alright. We came uninvited, we're just looking around, Yinyin, don't mind us."
…
Even though the onlookers were itching to get in, they said it didn't matter after hearing what their kindred spirit had to say.
After all, there were just too many of them.
"Get out of here, you all have nothing better to do, huh? What are you all doing gathered around here?"
The village head glared at them, annoyed, and, feeling that they were affecting the magistrate's impression of him, quickly went over to chase them away.
Many people realized what was happening and felt embarrassed, so they stopped watching.
Only the children remained gathered around.
Soon, everyone present had a piece of cake in their hands. They were filled with curiosity, constantly examining it, sniffing it, their eyes seemingly glowing with excitement.
Then, without waiting, they used a spoon to bite it and put it in their mouths.
Old Huang, Yao Yulin, Zhihua, and Aunt Xing were all eating it for the first time.
The moment the cake entered their mouths, everyone's eyes instantly narrowed in unison with delight.
Each one is absolutely incredible.
"Oh my god, what is this white thing? It has a strong milky aroma, is sweet, and melts in your mouth!"
"Yes, yes, what's that yellow stuff inside? It's so soft and fluffy, it tastes delicious!"
"It's filled with fruit, and the fruit is delicious."
"Ahhh!! But there's so little! I finished it in one bite, sob sob sob... I'm crying, how can something be so delicious?"
…
Even though Old Huang had anticipated it would taste good, he was still pleasantly surprised and felt a sense of joy the moment he took a bite. "Isn't this amazing?"
"The fruit is sweet and juicy with distinct layers of texture. The white one is delicate, soft, fluffy, and rich in flavor. It has a rich taste that is not cloying at all, and is extremely sweet and refreshing."
He finished off a small piece of cake in just a few bites.
Everyone nodded enthusiastically as they listened to his praise, and they were almost reluctant to eat the small piece of cake in their hands, afraid that it would be gone if they ate it.
My eyes were filled with shock, and I felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. I had never eaten anything so delicious in my life.
The moment they tasted the cake, they instantly felt that life was exceptionally wonderful, all their unhappiness vanished, and they felt as if they had been healed.
Zhiyin replied with a smile, "The white stuff is cream!"
"This whole thing is a cake!"
"Is there any more?"
Jun Yexue's originally sharp eyebrows softened, and her eyes became bright and sparkling as she looked expectantly at her confidante.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xing, Aunt Mu, and even the rest of the village all looked at Zhiyin with eager eyes, clearly indicating that they hadn't had enough.
Seeing this, Zhiyin couldn't help but smile, innocently spreading her hands and saying, "That's all..."
Upon hearing this, everyone deflated like punctured balloons, their heads drooping.
Seeing this, Zhiyin chuckled to herself like a cat that had just stolen some cream.
She then added, "Although it's gone, I will open a cake shop like this in the future, so that anyone who needs one can buy one there."
"We have all kinds of flavors!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xing and Aunt Mu immediately became anxious, "When will Yinyin open? Please let us know when it does! We'll definitely go and buy some, it's so delicious!"
"Yes, yes, this tastes completely different from jujube paste pastries, flower cakes, and coconut pastries!"
"Is this the only way to eat it? I think I can finish it all by myself!"
