Chapter 67 - Baking Desserts (2/2)

After the meal, Lu Yuxi leaned back and felt that her stomach was about to explode. She had not had such a full stomach in a long time.

“Xu Le, you’re so awesome. No wonder you won so many awards. This is the best meal I’ve had since I was born!”

Xu Le raised his eyebrows in shock.

“It’s too much!”

“I’m not bragging… Oh right, that day when I saw you in the finals, the judge sitting in the middle was called Song something. That’s right! Song Deyue clearly likes your food, so why did he give you such a low score? Is he deliberately bullying you?”

“No.”

Xu Le explained to her everything.

Lu Yuxi clapped her hands excitedly and said, “I know, this is to prevent you from being too popular. He’s worried that if you reach too high suddenly, it’ll make people jealous, so he had to suppress it. It’ll make those who like you like you even more!”

“Yeah.”

Xu Le didn’t care much about his reputation on the Internet. After dinner, he took Xu Tian to the amusement park closest to home.

On the way, Xu Tian didn’t say a word. She kept munching on the fragrant and crispy popcorn, her face full of enjoyment.

The driver couldn’t help but look in the rearview mirror a few times. “Little kid, where did you buy that? It looks pretty good. Let me buy one for my kid.”

Xu Tian mumbled unclearly, “My brother made it himself.”

“Oh.”

The driver was a little disappointed.

When they got out of the car at the gate, Xu Tian handed a large handful of popcorn to the driver and said, “Here you go.”

The driver was delighted and hurriedly took it. The car was filled with the rich buttery fragrance of popcorn, so he had been craving it all the way. After thanking her, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth.

It was crispy and sweet, but not greasy at all. After finishing it in one go, the driver licked his lips in satisfaction.

Xu Tian looked young and usually would be crying. However, once she arrived at the amusement park, she started to party crazily and wanted to play all kinds of rides.

There were bumper cars, trampolines, shooting games, throwing balls… After going through all of them, she wanted to play roller coasters. Unfortunately, she was too short and was stopped by the staff.

Xu Le heaved a sigh of relief. He did not expect his sister to have such a courageous side. He pointed at the dessert shop across the street and said, “Are you hungry? Let’s go in and buy you a dessert.”

Xu Tian pulled a long face and nodded reluctantly.

Lu Yuxi held her hand and coaxed her as they walked. After entering the shop, she realized that the dessert shop required customers to bake themselves. They only provided various ingredients and do not sell any finished products.

She took a glance and saw that there were only parents with their children all around her.

Xu Tian pouted. “Brother, I want to eat that…”

She pointed to the tiramisu that someone was working on next to her. She was salivating.

“Little gluttony cat.”

Xu Le commented with a smile and paid for the three of them. He was not worried about desserts since the system had a recipe that was accurate to every step.

Lu Yuxi and his sister went to get some ingredients, while he sat on the rocking chair and closed his eyes.

After browsing through the dessert section of the system, he spent 120 gourmet points to buy the recipe of “tiramisu”, “taro box” and “chiffon cake”.

Baking desserts was pretty much the same. The main difficulty lie in the ratio of ingredients and the exquisiteness of temperature control. This was not like cooking. If anything went wrong, everything that was made would be ruined..
