The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 38

[Chapter 38: The First Cake is Out of the Oven]

But Lin Tian’s next words quickly broke her fantasy.

“I opened a shop outside, and I just need a pastry chef. You come with me, and the contract will be here.”

“Wait for me to try to make it. I will give you the recipe later. You just follow it. If the response is good, there will be a reward for you.”

Lin Tian briefly introduced the situation. It was roughly the same as Tang Chuchu and the others, as his employee.

“Okay, Master.” Liu’er lowered her eyes and responded obediently.

There was still some disappointment in her heart. She thought that the master was interested in her, but she didn’t expect that he had other plans.

But soon Liu’er gave up such thoughts.

Because she found that Lin Tian’s head was really filled with many ideas that she could never think of.

“First separate the egg white from the yolk. What we want is the egg white.” Lin Tian said as he opened an egg with one hand and separated the two casually.

Liu’er just stared blankly. She had never seen the method of separating the egg white and the yolk.

“Then we use this to beat quickly. You shouldn’t be able to do this step.”

Lin Tian took out the simple version of the egg beater he had already made.

There are many incomplete instruments and tools here, so Lin Tian chose some simpler cakes at first.

Cream and butter cannot be made for the time being, let alone the oven.

“Now we just have to wait for it to come out of the oven.” After Lin Tian prepared a series of materials, he put them into the steamer.

This is the simplest steamed cake, but because the egg whites are fully whipped, it has a soft texture after steaming.

In addition, he just added a lot of peach blossom juice, and it is a soft and delicious peach blossom sponge cake after it is made.

“Master, how do you know so many methods? This is really amazing!” Liu’er has been completely fascinated by Lin Tian, looking at Lin Tian with admiration.

In her eyes, Lin Tian is a walking treasure chest. Their family has a craft passed down from their ancestors, and making delicious cakes is also her lifelong pursuit.

The appearance of Lin Tian helped her complete this pursuit.

“Wait, don’t move.”

Lin Tian smiled and glanced at Liu’er, and suddenly asked her not to move.

Liu’er was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Lin Tian was going to do, and thought that what she said just now made Lin Tian angry.

“You’ve got flour on you.” Lin Tian said helplessly.

He reached out and wiped off the flour on Liu’er’s nose, but he didn’t know that such a casual action looked very intimate in Liu’er’s eyes.

“Master…” Liu’er murmured in a low voice.

“Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the cakes out for them to taste!”

Seeing Liu’er standing there in a daze, Lin Tian couldn’t help but urge her.

Liu’er looked up as if she had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly went to take out the cakes in the steamer.

“Hiss——” But because she was too anxious, she forgot that the cakes just out of the oven in the steamer were hot, and her hands were burned red.

Lin Tian subconsciously took the plate of cakes and put it on the table, and casually took a wet towel and threw it to Liu’er: “Be careful, don’t burn your hands.”

After saying this, Lin Tian was busy bringing out the remaining plates of cakes.

Liu’er held her red hands, not knowing how to react, but when she saw that Lin Tian looked like nothing had happened, she sighed.

Young Master is such an excellent person, he is so gentle to everyone, right?

After clearly realizing this, Liu Er hurriedly stepped forward to take the cake from Lin Tian’s hand: “Young Master, let me do this.”

Lin Tian certainly didn’t think much about it, and was even more happy to be idle.

“Then you bring it here, I’ll go first.”

Qin Wangshu, who was standing outside the door in a daze, saw Lin Tian was about to come out, and hurriedly walked forward a few steps, pretending to pass by inadvertently.

She just wanted to come to Lin Tian to say goodbye, although she would talk to Lin Zuhua again at the dinner table later, but after all, it was Lin Tian who rescued them.

But she didn’t expect to see such a scene after she came to the kitchen. Lin Tian’s natural intimacy with the maid made her feel redundant.

Not knowing what to think in her heart, Qin Wangshu could only stand at the door and watch the two until Lin Tian was about to come out.

“Why are you here?” Lin Tian walked out and happened to see Qin Wangshu passing by, and hurriedly called her.

Qin Wangshu turned around and said, “I just happened to pass by.”

She tried her best to hide her panic with simple words, but it was a pity that Lin Tian didn’t notice anything and really thought it was just a coincidence.

“That’s perfect. Liu’er and I made some freshly baked pastries. Come and try them first!”

Lin Tian seemed a little excited. He quickly asked Qin Wangshu to go to the kitchen and personally brought her a piece of pastry.

Qin Wangshu frowned slightly and subconsciously resisted.

But facing the steamed cake brought by Lin Tian himself, he somehow couldn’t refuse.

“Not bad, soft in the mouth, sweet peach blossom, like clouds.” After taking a bite, Qin Wangshu never forgot the previous unhappiness.

It is true that delicious food can heal the mood.

“That’s good! Liu’er, quickly bring it out for everyone to try!”

Lin Tian was obviously delighted by Qin Wangshu’s praise.

Liu’er responded quickly in the kitchen, and the two of them walked to the front hall with cakes one after the other. Qin Wangshu felt a little redundant.

When Lin Zuhua heard that Lin Tian had developed a new cake, he hurried to the front hall after finishing his official duties.

“Let me try it first, the delicacy developed by my Tian’er!” Lin Zuhua said, picking up a piece of steamed cake and putting it in his mouth.

The soft and slightly peach-scented steamed cake made him feel happy all of a sudden, and even though he didn’t like sweets, he wanted to have another piece.

“How is it? Better than the ones sold outside, right?” Lin Tian asked.

Although he knew that Lin Zuhua must be praising him, it was a happy thing to get others’ affirmation.

“It’s worthy of my Tian’er! This cake is much more delicious than Pinxiangzhai’s, and it’s not just slightly better!”

Sure enough, Lin Zuhua was very respectful.

Then Lin Tian distributed all the cakes to the stewards, and after receiving unanimous praise from everyone, he wrote down the improved recipe with confidence.

“This recipe is for today. I haven’t had time to try the other ones yet. You can try them all!”

“Lin Kang will take you to the Land of Gentleness later. You will stay there from now on.” Lin Tian ordered.

“Yes.”

“Okay, young master.”

Lin Kang and Liu’er answered in unison. Lin Kang was used to it. Lin Tian always told him to do anything.

Liu’er was a little embarrassed. She felt flattered. Any

of these cake recipes would be worth a fortune if sold, but Lin Tian gave them to her so casually!
