Chapter 121 Cultivate More Feelings
The freshly-steamed egg cakes were still steaming hot.
Helian Qiao couldn’t resist the aroma, she quickly reached out with her chubby hand and grabbed a piece of egg cake to eat.
Seeing the little hamster eat so much that her cheeks were full, Gu Tingyun mimicked her and took a large bite. Then, his slightly picky taste buds were immediately conquered by the soft, sweet egg cake.
Jiang Manyun was also amazed, saying, "Delicious! Auntie, your egg cake is much tastier than the pastries sold in the department stores!"
Ma Xiulian grinned and said, "If you don’t mind, take some to Director Gu for a taste when you go back."
"There’s no need for that, Auntie. He can get full in the canteen. Let’s save the leftover egg cakes for the children to eat."
Jiang Manyun was not looking down on these few pieces of egg cake. She knew the conditions in each rural household were not good, with nearly every meal consisting of coarse grain cakes and wild vegetable porridge.
Even now, several of the little children from the Chen Family were biting their fingers and staring longingly at them eating from the entrance.
Ma Xiulian waved her hand, "I made a lot of these egg cakes. It is enough for you all to share. Moreover, they’re not worth much with us making them from our own eggs. If you are so modest, I’ll be too embarrassed to let Guibao go out with you next time."
Of course, it was not worth much. This was just her way of fooling people.
This egg cake not only needed eggs but also white sugar, flour, and lard — all were valuable items that were normally too precious to eat.
They were time-consuming to prepare, so even if her little granddaughter liked to eat them, she only occasionally found time to make them.
