Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1106 Tasty Cake_1 Chapter 1112: Chapter 1106 Tasty Cake_1 “Auntie tastes good.” Jing Xin fed his son some cake from his wife’s hand, and after only one bite, Jingtao turned to look at Qin Jiale with twinkling eyes, uttering a sentence that brought laughter from everyone around.

“It’s not Auntie that’s delicious, it’s the cake that’s delicious,” Jing Xin, unable to resist, corrected his son.

“Auntie tastes good.” Jingtao firmly repeated, looking sulkily at his father.

“Okay, Auntie tastes good then,” Jing Xin reluctantly gave in, fearing that if he didn’t, the little guy would throw a tantrum. “Such a sweet talker! You know this cake is from your Auntie, that’s why you’re buttering her up,” he lamented.

“Come to think of it, Qin Xue, the cake you baked is different from those I’ve eaten before, soft and sweet. It’s really delicious,” Ouyang Ziyu commented. She’d eaten cake before, but none had been as tasty as Qin Xue’s.

“The ones you’ve tried were probably baked in an oven. I steamed mine because I don’t have an oven. That surely makes them taste different. But oven-baked ones might be more fragrant,” Qin Xue responded with a smile at Ouyang Ziyu.

If she had an oven, she’d have loved to bake a more visually appealing birthday cake for her sister. There was, after all, a distinct difference in flavor between steamed and baked cakes.

“The cake I’ve tasted here doesn’t seem to be as good as the ones abroad. Yet, yours resembles those foreign flavors. I used to enjoy such cakes when studying abroad, but after returning, I ate them less. I’ve heard that there is a place in the Imperial Capital that sells them, but they weren’t tasty so I never went back. I don’t know how they make them, but the texture and taste seemed off,” Ouyang Ziyu confides. After tasting such delicious cake at Qin Xue’s house, she had the idea that if they, as military personnel, could open a shop, she would want Qin Xue to open a bakery.

“They may have messed up the proportions while preparing the cake, which could affect the taste.” Qin Xue wasn’t sure how others made their cakes. She remembered there were some bakeries in her past life that made excellent cakes, but those that didn’t do as well were not too bad either.

Preparing a cake was tricky- if the batter was too thin or too thick, the texture would change. Similarly, the baking time also affected the texture. So, to be honest, she didn’t know how to explain it properly.

“I suppose you’re right. It would be great if you could open a cake shop in the Imperial Capital. That way, I could eat such delicious cake whenever I wanted. Just thinking about it makes me happy. I think I might even dream about it with laughter,” murmured Ouyang Ziyu, taking another bite of cake and speaking with a tinge of longing.

“That’s not an issue. You can get cake at the Yuxuan Restaurant. You didn’t know that?” Qin Xue looked puzzled. From what she understood, Ouyang Ziyu should have frequented the Yuxuan Restaurant, so how did she not know that they served pastries?

“Really? How come I didn’t know?” Ouyang Ziyu was genuinely surprised. Each time she visited, the restaurant wasn’t renowned for anything particular.

“Tell me, when was the last time you had a meal there?” Qin Xue looked at her, thinking that since Yingying had only recently taken over the restaurant, and the pastries were introduced not so long ago, it made sense that Ouyang Ziyu wasn’t aware if she hadn’t visited in a while.

“About a year ago, I suppose. Their food was indeed better than other places, but an unpleasant incident happened to me there, so I haven’t been there since. Why do you ask?” Ouyang Ziyu paused before answering Qin Xue.

“No wonder, they only recently started offering a variety of pastries.” Hearing this, Qin Xue understood.
