Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Where's Mom? All her vegetables are dead!"

Shen Qiuyan looked for her mother everywhere and even ran upstairs to look for her mother.

"I went to Si's house to make osmanthus cake."

Shen Qiubai said slowly that his mother had destroyed a basket of osmanthus flowers in the Chen family. Chen Yingjun's father was so angry that he almost had a cerebral congestion, but he didn't dare to scold his mother, so he scolded Chen Yingjun.

"What are they doing? Making sweet-scented osmanthus cake? I'm going to go take a look!"

Shen Qiuyan left in a hurry, coming and going like a tornado.

Xia Qingqing was smiling the whole time. She liked Shen Qiuyan's personality very much. She was full of energy every day.

"Come on, let's go out for dinner."

Shen Qiubai pulled her out. Calculating the time, his mother and Si Jinyi's mother had almost finished making the osmanthus cake. There would definitely be a plate of osmanthus cake on the dinner table at home that night.

If they don't eat, Ms. Cheng Yueyun will be sad.

If they eat it, it will hurt their stomach.

"What should we do with Dad and Mom?" Xia Qingqing asked.

"Big sister can do it."

Shen Qiubai left a note, took the car keys, and prepared to take his wife out for a delicious meal.

As soon as they walked into the yard, they ran into Cheng Yueyun and her daughter. Cheng Yueyun was holding a plate of osmanthus cake in her hand.

To be honest, the dish is beautifully presented and has a strong sweet-scented osmanthus scent, which looks very appetizing.

"It's time to eat, where are you going?" Cheng Yueyun asked.

"A friend is treating me to a meal."

Shen Qiubai lied without batting an eyelid.

Cheng Yueyun believed it and handed over the osmanthus cake, saying enthusiastically: "Your Aunt Manli and I just made this osmanthus cake. Come and try it. Your Uncle Chen praised it highly after eating it and even said he wanted to take more to eat slowly. I couldn't bear to give it away, so I brought it back for you to eat."

Good things must be reserved for family members to eat. This is Ms. Cheng Yueyun’s principle.

She looked at her son and daughter-in-law lovingly and motioned for them to take a piece.

At this moment, Xia Qingqing was a little suspicious that Shen Qiubai was exaggerating. This osmanthus cake looked delicious, and even Chen Yingjun's father praised it, so it should taste good, right?

She reached out and took a piece to eat. Shen Qiubai didn't have time to stop her and his eyes became sympathetic.

Xia Qingqing took a bite of the fragrant osmanthus cake, and instantly her tongue almost choked. Did her mother-in-law beat the candy seller to death?

In addition to being extremely sweet, the cake is also sticky and feels like eating half-cooked batter.

In addition to being extremely sweet, it also has a hint of bitterness, which comes from the raw osmanthus flowers.

Xia Qingqing finally understood why the osmanthus cake was so fragrant. It turned out that the osmanthus flowers inside were not cooked at all and were all raw.

"Is it delicious?"

Cheng Yueyun looked at her eagerly, wanting to hear more praise.

Xia Qingqing swallowed the osmanthus cake with difficulty and praised with a smile: "It's delicious. Your cooking skills are no worse than those of the imperial chefs in the palace."

"No, no, it's still a little bit short."

Cheng Yueyun was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. Her daughter-in-law was so sweet that she felt embarrassed by the praise she received.

"Mom, how do you make this sweet-scented osmanthus cake? I want to learn from you."

Xia Qingqing was really curious about how her mother-in-law and Si Jinyi's mother made the osmanthus cake into such a shape.

"This is something your Aunt Manli and I created. We didn't follow the recipe exactly. We sprinkled osmanthus flowers in when the osmanthus cake was almost cooked. This way it would be fragrant, and the osmanthus flowers would look good, with all the right color, aroma and flavor!"

Cheng Yueyun was even happier and was very willing to share her method.

"Mom, you're awesome!"

Xia Qingqing gave a thumbs up and praised against her will, saying that it was no wonder that the osmanthus flowers were raw.

Si Jinyi's mother is also a wonderful person. Working together with her mother-in-law, she can definitely poison the elephant to death.

"Mom, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is so good, leave it for Dad."

Shen Qiubai decisively chose to harm his father and took his wife away.

"Qiuyan, you have one too."

Cheng Yueyun generously let her daughter eat it.

"Mom, have you eaten by yourself?" Shen Qiuyan hesitated. She really had no confidence in her mother's cooking skills.

"There are only a few pieces in total. How can I bear to eat them?"

"Mom, just eat one piece, there are so many!"

Shen Qiuyan took a piece and decisively stuffed it into Ms. Cheng Yueyun's mouth.

"Oh my, what's wrong with you, kid? Oh my god... Ugh..."

Cheng Yueyun's expression became extremely exaggerated and she spat out the osmanthus cake in her mouth. Then the mother and daughter stared at each other with expressions that were hard to describe.

"Mom, next time you make something delicious, try it yourself first."

Shen Qiuyan suggested very honestly that she should stop causing trouble for her father.

"I need you to tell me?"

Cheng Yueyun was so embarrassed that she glared fiercely, then went out with the osmanthus cake in her hands and a fierce look on her face.

"Mom, where are you going?"

“Feed the chicken!”

Cheng Yueyun's voice was getting farther and farther away. Chen Yingjun's mother fed more than ten chickens, and the chickens couldn't possibly dislike the osmanthus cake.

Xia Qingqing and Shen Qiubai had already left the compound. On the way, she coughed a few times, and her throat felt sweet.

"The food my mother makes has no color, fragrance or taste, but it's not poisonous enough to kill people. The food Si Jinyi's mother makes is beautifully presented, with both color and fragrance, but it's extremely poisonous."

While driving, Shen Qiubai talked about interesting stories of his elders.

"Your mother's cooking skills are really rare!"

Xia Qingqing was filled with emotion. To be able to prepare food to this level, most people definitely didn't have the ability to do so.

"Does Chen Yingjun's father have a poor sense of taste?" Xia Qingqing was very curious.

Chen Yingjun’s father actually said that the osmanthus cake was so unpalatable, so his tongue must be just for decoration, right?

"Uncle Chen is the most cunning. Every time he praises the food cooked by my mom and Aunt Manli, my mom and Aunt Manli believe it and become very enthusiastic in cooking. My dad and Uncle Si are miserable."

Shen Qiubai explained the reason. In his father's words, Uncle Chen was an old fox with a lot of bad intentions. He and Uncle Si combined could not compare to Uncle Chen.

Xia Qingqing couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect that these old cadres in the compound were so funny.

However, it can also be seen that the relationship between the families is very good.

The place they ate in the evening was an old restaurant in the capital. It was said that the chef's ancestors had cooked for the Empress Dowager Cixi, and many people from other places would come here to eat.

"It's been a while since we last met. Comrade Shen, are you still at the same place?"

The manager came up to me with a smile and a very respectful attitude.

"Yes, give me some signature dishes, for two people."

Shen Qiubai smiled and took Xia Qingqing upstairs.

"Did you often come here to eat?" Xia Qingqing asked curiously.

"I've been here a few times. Fatty eats more often."

Shen Qiubai found the box with familiarity. The environment was very elegant. He pushed open the door and let Xia Qingqing go in first.

"Hanwen, this restaurant is a time-honored brand. The chef's ancestor was the imperial chef of Empress Dowager Cixi. Many of the dishes came from the palace. We should try them carefully."

Xia Yunzhe and Lin Hanwen appeared on the second floor, and Lin Hanwen was holding a snow-white cat with one blue and one green eyes, which were more beautiful than gems.

A frail but noble man holding a valuable cat in his arms. The picture looked very beautiful, and many guests looked towards Lin Hanwen.

But Xia Qingqing felt that the white cat in Lin Hanwen's arms seemed to be afraid.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with fear.
