42 Mung Bean Ice Cake

Zhao Lanhua looked at the exquisite and beautiful dessert in front of her and raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Why is this mung bean cake so beautiful?”

“Mother, this is mung bean ice cake,” Ji Zhao explained with a smile. “Try it. It shouldn’t taste too bad.”

Zhao Lanhua eagerly picked up a piece and took a small bite.

She felt a softness on the tip of her tongue. The fragrance of the mung beans refreshed her heart and assailed her with sweetness.

When she took another bite, there was actually a salty fragrance of egg yolk that cushioned the residual sweetness just now.

“Big Brother, do you want to try it too?”

Shen Dalang also took a bite with the intention of giving it a try.

However, in an instant, his eyes lit up and he looked extremely excited!

“It’s sweet but not too sweet. The aftertaste is endless. Coupled with the salty fragrance of the egg yolk, the taste of the pastry is even richer!” Shen Dalang gave Ji Zhao a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart. “Sister-in-law, you’re good at cooking!”

At dusk, the sun set in the west.

The sunset was like fire, making the entire sky look incomparably gorgeous.

The cool breeze blew away the heat of the day.

Shen Ji Pastry Shop.

General Manager Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at the confident Ji Zhao. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows. “May I ask if the pastries are ready?”

“It’s all here.” Ji Zhao pointed at the two types of pastries on the table and explained with a smile, “This pastry in the shape of a plum blossom is called mung bean ice cake. The other one is called full moon cake.”

“Full moon cake?” General Manager Qin stared at the pastry that looked very similar to a moon cake. He asked curiously, “Isn’t this a moon cake?”

“No.” Ji Zhao smiled and shook her head. “Why don’t you give it a try, General Manager Qin?”

“Okay!”

General Manager Qin tasted a piece of full moon cake and was completely conquered by it.

“The texture is soft and melts in your mouth. Moreover, if you savor it carefully, there seems to be a fragrance...” General Manager Qin was full of praise for the pastry. When he tasted the mung bean ice cake, he was even more amazed!

“Good!” General Manager Qin nodded in satisfaction. “Boss Shen, your sister-in-law’s culinary skills are extraordinary!”

“You flatter me.” Ji Zhao smiled modestly.

“I’ll bring these two pastries back for the old lady to try.” General Manager Qin looked at Shen Dalang and his smile became more sincere. “Boss Shen, if nothing goes wrong, I’ll sign the pastry contract with you tomorrow morning.”

“Thank you, General Manager Qin! Thank you, General Manager Qin!” Shen Dalang kept bowing and thanking him happily!

After General Manager Qin left with the pastries in satisfaction, the sky gradually darkened.

“Third Sister-in-law.” Shen Dalang walked in front of Ji Zhao and bowed seriously. “It’s all thanks to you today. If not for your help, Shen Ji would not have been able to secure such a long term business relationship with the Qin family.”

“Big Brother, we’re all family. There’s no need to be so ceremonious. Hurry up and get up!” Ji Zhao said anxiously. “Mother, quickly tell Big Brother not stand on ceremony!”

“Dalang, you saw Ah Tao making the two pastries just now. Did you memorize the steps?” Zhao Lanhua suddenly asked.

“I remembered everything.” Shen Dalang quickly nodded.

“Alright, since you’ve memorized it, go get the silver,” Zhao Lanhua suddenly raised her eyebrows and said.

“How much silver does Mother want?” Shen Dalang asked hurriedly.

“That depends on how much you think Ah Tao’s pastries are worth,” Zhao Lanhua suddenly lowered her eyes and said softly.

At that moment, Ji Zhao reacted and hurriedly waved her hands in rejection. “Mother, I don’t need silver. Besides, Big Brother is family...”

“Even blood-related brothers have to settle scores clearly.”
