Nanny Jin looked at Qi Ershun and sighed softly, saying, "Nanny doesn’t know the specifics of what’s happening, you should go back first and see for yourself, then decide what to do next. Ershun, remember, many things must be fought for by oneself. As long as you make up your mind, don’t let trivial matters weigh you down. Go on, go back and take a look first."

Shopkeeper He, holding most of the cake, entered the Great Crane House through the back door. After pondering in the back hall for a moment, he divided the cake into three parts and sent them to three elegant private rooms on the second floor of Great Crane House.

With its soft, moist texture, gentle cream-yellow color, and enticing sweet aroma, the cream cake conquered the taste buds of diners in Qingyuan County, a corner of the Great Xia Dynasty, almost causing a sensation.
Where did this food come from, how could there be such a sweet taste, such tender texture in this world? Is Great Crane House’s food going to reach the heavens?
Asking the waiter from Great Crane House, the young man replied that this pastry was called cream cake. After another bite, it was still the irresistible flavor that made people unable to stop.
This cream cake... could it actually be more delicious and more shocking to gourmands’ tastes than ice cream?
Another order was a must, otherwise how could one return home to sleep peacefully?
