Chapter 214 - 213: Timely Commentary
Zhou Shuyu, following Hu Jing’s recommendation, picked up a piece of dessert ball and popped it into his mouth. It was still warm, with a crispy exterior. After biting into it, he encountered a soft filling exuding a rich milky fragrance. He chewed thoughtfully a couple of times, but still couldn’t identify what it was—an utterly unique taste and texture.
Zhou Shuyu savored the dessert slowly, swallowing it. Seeing Hu Jing enjoy another, his face expressing pure pleasure, he couldn’t help asking, "Mr. Hu, have you never eaten this dessert before?"
Hu Jing nodded and then shook his head, saying, "I’ve had something similar in shape, taste somewhat alike. But not this texture, the pastries I had before didn’t have a soft core."
Hu Jing turned to Jinrong and said, "Sixth Master, you should try this dessert too, it’s quite novel. The milky fragrance is exceptionally strong and rich, and it’s filled with a stuffing that might be cream cheese."
Qi Younian also said with a smile, "This dessert is best eaten warm, with its thick, rich cheese inside, it tastes extremely delightful."
Jinrong, hearing this, first picked up one, examined it carefully, and said to Qi Younain, "Following Father-in-law Qi’s delicious description, the dairy workshop really seems like a profitable business."
"Indeed, making money is a given," Qi Younian said cheerfully. "However, the scale of the dairy farm is still too small; the milk we produce is simply not enough. Both the snack shop and Great Crane House are clamoring for cheese and cream. Ye Zi wants to try making other items but lacks the material to do so."
"That won’t do; we must still proceed with making them first. Otherwise, when the dairy farm expands and we have an abundance of cow’s milk but no new production techniques, then we’ll really be delaying business," Jinrong said, biting into a cheese ball, slowly chewing and tasting it.
