But what is this golden thread cake? The name sounds similar to the cakes you usually buy in cake shops.
"What is this golden cake?"
Xue Jingran was a little curious. Although the pastry that Lin Yunchu handed over was tightly wrapped in greaseproof paper, he could still smell a faint sweet aroma.
He wasn't one to like these snacks, but he couldn't help but feel curious. It smelled very tempting.
Hearing Xue Jingran's curious question, Lin Yunchu was slightly stunned for a moment, then curled the corners of his mouth slightly, untied the thin rope on top, opened the greaseproof paper, and revealed the golden silk cake wrapped inside. The golden color and sweet sugar taste made Xue Jingran curious and wanted to taste it.
Lin Yunchu saw what Xue Jingran was thinking, but did not expose him. Instead, he raised his hand, took out a piece, and handed it to Xue Jingran.
"I made this for me as a snack yesterday when I was bored at home. When I saw Miss Xue last time, I thought she would like it too, so I brought some for her as well."
Lin Yunchu said it casually, not wanting Xue Jingran to misunderstand that she was trying to curry favor with Miss Xue.
Xue Jingran listened to Lin Yunchu calling her Miss Xue on the left and Miss Xue on the right, and couldn't help but look up at Lin Yunchu and chuckled softly: "Miss Lin, just call her Yaoyao, there's no need to be so distant."
The corners of his mouth curled up in an arc, "My little sister likes you very much. If she knew that you treated her so coldly, she would be sad. She often talks about going to your house to play."
Xue Jingran smiled, but when he thought of his younger sister constantly talking about Lin Yunchu at home, he couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Originally, my parents loved my younger sister very much. If the weather wasn't so cold, they would have already followed Xue Jingyao's wishes and asked her to go to Qingxi Village to find Lin Yunchu.
After understanding Xue Jingran's words, Lin Yunchu also smiled. Thinking of Xue Jingyao's lovely appearance that day, he no longer refused to offend Xue Jingran and responded to the topic:
"Yes, Yaoyao has a lovely personality, and I like her very much. This golden silk cake is made of sweet potatoes, and it's not something expensive. I just eat it for the novelty."
The Xue family is a wealthy merchant family in the town. Xue Jingran and Xue Jingyao grew up in luxury and have seen all kinds of good things.
Lin Yunchu spoke very modestly, but Xue Jingran didn't think so. Even the most ordinary thing became extraordinary after passing through Lin Yunchu's hands. Then he picked up the golden silk cake in his hand, opened his mouth and took a bite.
My mouth was instantly filled with sweetness, crispness and crunchiness. Not only my younger sister, I'm afraid my parents would like it too.
Xue Jingran finished the golden cake in his hand and thanked Lin Yunchu again, "This is really better than the ones in the cake shop. I'd like to thank you in advance on behalf of my younger sister."
Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting sat in Yipin Pavilion for a while and then left, and then went to buy a lot of ingredients for hot pot base.
"Little sister, why did you buy so much this time? I'm afraid it will be enough for Yipin Pavilion to use for a while."
Seeing Lin Yunchu's generous shopping, which soon filled the oxcart to the brim, Lin Changting casually asked, "What are your plans?"
Lin Changting knew that he was not as smart as his younger sister, so he usually just helped do whatever Lin Yunchu said.
Lin Yunchu looked carefully at the things on the ox cart, fearing that he had missed something. When he heard Lin Changting's words, the corners of his mouth slowly rose and he responded:
"The New Year is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder. We need to make more this time, and then we can come back to town after the New Year."
You know, the ox cart of the old man Niu in the village has not come to the town for a long time, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the New Year is almost here. During this period of time, Lin Yunchu plans to stay at home and rest assured.
Everything has to wait until spring comes after the Chinese New Year. Now the road from Qingxi Village to the town is windy and slippery, and it is extremely cold. Every time Lin's mother goes to the town, her face is full of worry.
Although she didn't say anything, Lin Yunchu knew her anxiety. She was just worried that if she said it out loud, Lin Yunchu would think too much.
Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lin Changting nodded thoughtfully.
What Lin Yunchu said was indeed true. Before winter came, the villagers had already prepared their winter supplies. Now even Old Man Niu’s ox cart didn’t come out, so only their family went to the town.
It’s almost the New Year now, and what Lin Yunchu said is right.
Thinking that the Chinese New Year was approaching, a rare smile appeared on Lin Changting's face. In previous years, life at home was difficult during the Chinese New Year, and no one thought that the New Year would be so lively. As long as they could have enough food and warm clothes, they were lucky.
However, this year the family had already prepared all the food and daily necessities early on, and nothing was missing. On weekdays, Lin Yunchu also made delicious food for everyone in different ways, and also said that everyone should have fun together during the New Year this year.
Lin Changan had already started looking forward to the New Year. Now that he heard Lin Yunchu mention it, Lin Changting also felt a sense of anticipation.
"Yes, yes, it's almost Chinese New Year, and it's getting colder. We should prepare for the New Year at home."
Lin Changting nodded in agreement, also with a smile on his face.
Lin Yunchu also bought a lot of meat and flour, planning to make dumplings for everyone at home after making the hot pot base. Lin Changan had no idea how many times he had mentioned this to her.
Ever since Lin Yunchu made dumplings for the Lin family, everyone has fallen in love with eating dumplings. Moreover, now that the weather is cold, eating hot dumplings will also warm you up.
After buying everything, the two of them rushed back to Qingxi Village.
This time, a lot of hot pot base was needed, and even Lin's father and Lin Changting and others came to help. It took two days to prepare all the ingredients that Lin Yunchu bought.
Lin Yunchu did not dare to delay, and he and Lin Changting took the prepared hot pot base and sent it to Yipintang. After everything was done, Lin Yunchu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I have just explained everything to Manager Zhou. This is the last batch of hot pot base delivered before the New Year. Other matters will be discussed after the New Year and spring.
Lin Yunchu also bought couplets and lanterns to hang up at home when the Chinese New Year is approaching to make it look more festive.
"This looks great. Let's hang it up at home during the Chinese New Year. I'm sure everyone will like it."
Lin Changting looked at the things Lin Yunchu bought, grinned and agreed repeatedly. Now the family can finally have a comfortable New Year. These things look very festive.
"Let's go back quickly. I'm afraid that my uncle's family and others have already arrived."
Before leaving the house in the morning, Lin Yunchu told his father and mother to call his uncle's family, the Lu family, and Uncle Pan to come to the Lin family to eat dumplings together in the evening.
It's getting late now, and I'm afraid everyone has already arrived. They have to hurry back. If they are any later, the wind will be stronger and it will be difficult to travel.
