MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 448 cake

 Liu Ji probably had a dog's nose and went home smelling the fragrance.

“Madam, what have you done? Why does it smell so fragrant? I can smell it from a long way away.”

 Liu Ji strode into the door, washing his hands and asking loudly and curiously.

Qin Yao and Mrs. Li had just taken out the baked cake from the oven. Hearing the sound, Mrs. Li smiled and replied: "Master is back. My wife and I are trying to make the cake. It has just been baked. You came back just in time."

Qin Yao followed up and said: "Yes, it's just in time. I'll give you the first bite."

Liu Ji thought there is such a good thing? Are you sure you don't want to test poison on him?

However, this thing smells really good and shouldn’t be too unpalatable. Liu Ji readily agreed: “Okay, I’ll give it a try.”

The control of the heat was not very good. The skin of the cake was burnt and looked brown and black. The appearance was quite ordinary.

Unable to resist the sweet fragrance inside, Liu Ji took a deep breath and tore off a piece. Inside the burnt skin, it was tender yellow and fluffy, and when he pinched it with his fingers, it felt like he was touching clouds.

Liu Ji tentatively put the bright yellow side into his mouth. There was no strange taste at all. Instead, it was sweet, fragrant and soft, melting in your mouth. It was very fragrant and delicious.

Different from the usual pastries, it is not solid at all. It is soft and a little chewy when you eat it. Even the burnt skin is slightly bitter but mixed with a strong fragrance, which gives it a unique taste.

"Can it be eaten?" Qin Yao asked uncertainly when she saw Liu Ji reaching out to take another piece and blocked his hand in time.

Liu Ji nodded, without even thinking about opening his mouth, and passed through Qin Yao's obstruction, tearing off another large piece and stuffing it into his mouth.

 “Two taels of silver are not wasted!” Liu Ji praised vaguely while eating.

　　While eating, he asked: "Is there more? The teacher will come over later to have dinner and give it to the old man to try too."

 Because it was an experiment and I was afraid of wasting materials, I made as many as a small iron pot.

Of course, due to the limitation of utensils, only the army pot made by Qin Yao can bake cakes at home.

I would never give up porcelain, and I don’t have such a big porcelain bowl at home.

Pottery is too fragile. If it is continuously baked at high temperatures, it will explode due to uneven heating.

Therefore, Qin Yao directly took the remaining pot into her arms and said, "Liu Ji, you are not allowed to eat it. This is just a small pot, and neither I nor Mrs. Li have tasted it yet!"

As for Gongliang Liao, let’s wait until she eats it herself.

Qin Yao didn't believe that she succeeded the first time, so she called Mrs. Li, and the two of them brought the pot to the main room, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and each of them picked up a piece and tasted it.

Ms. Li has never eaten cake, so she doesn’t know what the cake should taste like, but she feels that the cake in her hand tastes very good.

Today I used ordinary white sugar. If I could use honey and add some cow's milk and goat's milk, the taste would probably be even better.

Qin Yao's expression was a bit strange. After taking two mouthfuls, she stopped moving and stared blankly at something, as if her soul was no longer here.

Liu Ji originally wanted to take a piece secretly, but when he walked into the main room and saw Qin Yao's appearance, he raised his hand and waved in front of her eyes: "Madam?"

Qin Yao blinked her eyelashes lightly, her eyes regained their vitality, she ate the cake in her hand in one bite, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "This is the taste."

 “What does it smell like?” Liu Ji asked curiously.

Qin Yao replied: "The taste of hometown."

Ms. Li laughed and said, "It turns out that what Madam wants to eat is the special snacks from her hometown."

She didn't know where Qin Yao's home was, so she thought Qin Yao was homesick. She felt soft in her heart. She took the empty pot and said, "Since we did it right, let's make more. Madam, you can eat as much as you want." How many."

With that said, he got busy in the kitchen again, planning to bake two more pots before dinner so that everyone in the family can have a taste.

Unknown to Liu Ji, Liu Ji's heart was already boiling as he looked at Qin Yao who looked satisfied.

Li didn’t know where her hometown was, but he knew it. How could there be such fine snacks in that barren land in the northwest?

Liu Ji secretly observed Qin Yao. She was remembering something while eating the cake. Perhaps it was the past, or an old friend from her hometown, and she did not notice his inquiry.

Of course, it is also possible that she didn't care about his inquiry at all and ignored it.

 Liu Ji's gaze became more and more unrestrained, and his intention to explore was blatant.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where this something wrong came from.

People are alive and their appearance has not changed. It cannot be changed by spirits anyway.

etc!

 She has excellent martial arts and unparalleled strength, so why should she run away?

 The memory suddenly flashed back to the first time he saw her at the county government office.

The woman lowered her head and held her chest in her arms. Because her clothes were thin and the autumn wind was cold, she sat huddled in the corner. Her body was full of numb despair and lifeless.

 Looking at it, it looks like time is running out.

 But when those eyes were raised, there was still a touch of tenacity and touching brilliance.

It was because of these eyes that Liu Ji felt compassion and ran home to borrow a bullock cart to take her home.

I thought to myself that with such a pair of eyes, this woman should be someone who can withstand hardships and might be able to stay.

Then those tough yet fragile eyes never appeared again.

 Replaced by Qin Yao, a shrew who is wanton, arrogant, confident, and capable of thunderous tactics.

 At first, he was only shocked and frightened, thinking that she was like this in nature, and he was deceived by the illusion of her weakness.

 This is not a little white rabbit, this is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing.

But when I think about it today, I can't connect the changes in this person during the two short days.

Liu Ji was lost in thought. When he came back to his senses, most of the remaining half of the pot of cake had gone into Qin Yao's stomach.

She lay comfortably on the chair, narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the birds in the blue sky above the courtyard, and burped lightly with satisfaction.

　　Liu Jidang even forgot about his suspicions just now, he only remembered being angry.

“Madam, have you eaten all the cake?” Liu Ji looked around the room to make sure that she was not hiding the remaining cake, but had actually eaten it all.

Qin Yao responded lazily and rolled her eyes at him, "Yes, I ate it all by myself."

 A provocative look that says whatever you want.

　　　It can be seen that he is in such a good mood that he is so angry.

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked by chance: "Do you often eat this cake at home?"

Qin Yao nodded and added: "It would be even more perfect if we could have another cup of milk tea."

 Liu Ji frowned slightly, "Milk, tea?"

Forgive him that he has never traveled far away a few times and has never been to her hometown in the northwest. He only knows that milk is milk and tea is tea. He has never heard of milk tea that mixes the two together.

Qin Yao snorted and said, "I feel sorry for you, you have never tasted such a good thing, you idiot."

Suddenly thinking that she would not be able to drink in the last days, let alone here, the smile on Qin Yao's face suddenly froze.

 The country bumpkin is actually me!
