Chapter 650: Cream Cake
Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an returned to Chief Su l s house with baskets of stuff. When Su Wenzhe saw them, he asked curiously, “What did you bring, Sister? Are they something good?”
He wondered if his sister had developed a new delicacy. Everyone looked at Su Binglan simultaneously. Even Shen Mohen and Su Wenzhe, who had come to help the family, looked at her anxiously.
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “1 made cream we can use to make a cake. We can have a cream cake later as a midnight snack.”
“A cream cake?” Su Wenchi’s eyes lit up. He was somewhat envious of Su
Wenzhe and the others for being able to eat Su Binglan’s delicacies so often.
On the other hand, he could not go to Su Fengmao’s house just to eat because
it would be rude.
Fortunately, Su Binglan had made something new—the whole family could taste it today. He knew his parents and eldest brother had eaten many of Su Binglan’s new foods.
Whenever he saw Shen Qiuhua coming to their house, they would look excited because they knew Shen Qiuhua had come to deliver food to them.
Although the family did not know what a cream cake was, they knew it would be delicious. After all, there was nothing Su Binglan made that was not delicious.
She looked at everyone’s expressions and could guess their thoughts. “Cream cakes are a type of dessert that’s soft and fragrant. I’ll make more for
Granduncle Su and Grandaunt Su.’
Chief Su and his wife had poor teeth and had trouble eating solid foods. However, the cream cake would be softer and easier to digest.
Su Wenzhe said, “I’ve never seen you make something like that. The desserts you make for the shop don’t have cream, right?”
Su Binglan replied, ‘Yeah, I’ve never made something like this and don’t plan to make them for the shop. I want the family to taste it together for the New Year.”
Su Wenxiu was excited, saying, “I don’t even have to taste it, yet I know it’ll be delicious.’
Su Wenwu rubbed his hands together and asked, “Can I help, Sister?”
He wanted to help because he could not wait to see what the cake would look like. He thought helping his sister would satisfy his cravings. He also wondered what kind of dessert it was.
After all, Su Wenwu had a sweet tooth.
Su Binglan patted his shoulder and said, “Sorry, but I’ve already asked Yinyin and Tongtong to come and help.”
Su Wenchi said, “My eldest brother, sister-in-law, and Xuerui are still home and will come over later.’
Just as he finished speaking, Su Wenlin arrived with Lin Tongtong and Su
Xuerui in her arms. Everyone surrounded the little one when they saw him.
“Hello there, Xuerui!”
The adorable Su Xuerui was only two. He was soft and cute, and everyone loved talking to him. Even Su Binglan’s heart would soften whenever she saw him.
Su Xuerui looked at everyone and greeted Su Binglan, “Aunt Binglan.”
When the little one called Su Binglan, her heart melted as she said, “Will you let Aunt Binglan hug you?”
Su Binglan put down her basket and hugged the little one. Immediately after,
he hugged her neck affectionately. Su Binglan could not help but kiss the cute
kid’s cheek.
She took a sweet from her basket and gently fed it to Su Xuerui.
Lin Tongtong smiled, saying, “You often bring him food, so he’ll always remember you.”
She was grateful to Su Binglan. Su Xuerui was shy and never talked much in the past. However, the family’s living conditions had improved, and Su Binglan would bring Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai to play with Su Xuerui.
Lin Tongtong was relieved now that her son had become much livelier and more talkative. Moreover, Su Binglan checked Su Xuerui and said he had no health problems.
The lively environment had affected his previous shyness. A warm and relaxed atmosphere was good for children’s physical and mental health.
Su Binglan teased the little one for a while. Soon after, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai returned to bring the little one outside to play. Even so, everyone worried about Su Xuerui because he was still a child.
Later, Su Wenchi became responsible for the three children while everyone else continued to prepare the reunion dinner.
Su Binglan called Liu Yinyin and Lin Tongtong to help with the cream cake,
Lin Tongtong said, “Time flew by so fast, and it’s already New Year’s Eve.”
“That’s right. I saw lanterns hanging at every household on the way here. The red lights made me feel happy.” Liu Yinyin remembered Su Teng Village not having this many lanterns in the past.
It seemed everyone was more willing to buy lanterns now that their families’ living conditions had improved. She had to admit the lanterns throughout the village looked good. She felt happy and relaxed when she walked along the village streets.
Everyone chatted for a while, and then Liu Yinyin curiously asked, “Binglan, how do we make the cream cake?”
‘Does cream cake have milk in it? I remember seeing Binglan buying milk when we went to town. She said it’d be helpful, but I wondered what she’d use it for. Won’t milk make the cake taste weird?’
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “You’ll know after we’ve made the cake. Could you get some eggs and separate the yolks from the whites?”
“Okay, I’ll do that now,” Liu Yinyin replied. She was excited at the thought of trying something new.
This New Year’s Eve dinner felt different from the previous one. This year’s food was more sumptuous, and Su Binglan even made a special dessert.
Liu Yinyin took some eggs and prepared them according to her sister-in-law’s instructions. Lin Tongtong helped by beating the eggs and adding the prepared ingredients before thoroughly stirring the mixture.
Making the cake was not complicated, but it required much time and effort. After preparing the batter, Su Binglan placed it in a pot and baked it. Lin Tongtong and Liu Yinyin could smell the rich fragrance.
After baking it on the fire, Su Binglan steamed the cake. Then, she taught Lin Tongtong and Liu Yinyin how to apply the cream layer and add fruits to the fruit-cream cake.
Although the process seemed simple, Su Binglan carefully observed and managed every step.
“Wow, it smells so good.” Su Wenwu could not help but come over.
Su Binglan smiled, “The cake is complete, but I can’t let you eat it yet. Let’s save it for a midnight snack after our New Year’s Eve dinner..”
