Chapter 176 - 168 Inquiring
Xia Na’s face turned red, and she smiled a bit sheepishly.
"Normally when I go to my mother-in-law’s house, they all gaze at me as if they wish their eyes were on the top of their heads, but this time they really laid the compliments on thick, which has never happened before. It turns out that being flattered feels so good. So, I got carried away and showed off the skincare cream you gave me without thinking, and the half bottle I took with me was almost snatched away on the spot."
After finishing the plate in front of her, Xia Na picked up her glass and downed the remaining orange juice in one gulp. "This cake you made is really tasty, it’s just a shame it requires that oven, and the flour and eggs used are a bit too wasteful."
"You know, now Lu Aiguo and Shitou make trips to the nearby countryside from time to time, and they buy essentials like rice, flour, and eggs much cheaper than in the city. Today I just happened to bake a cake. I was actually planning to ask Lu Aiguo to deliver a piece to you tonight, but since you’re here, it’s perfect; you can take it back with you, and save Lu Aiguo the trip."
Xia Yuan actually baked the cake herself.
Ever since she fell in love with the cake that Lu Yun made, she asked for the recipe. Lu Yun then brought out a bunch of baking tools to teach her, and Xia Yuan was quite talented in this area, picking it up quickly. She would bake at home from time to time and would also take some to Xia Na.
After Xia Na tried it once, she fell in love with it and wanted to learn as well, but the sight of Xia Yuan’s array of kitchen tools and oven made her back down.
"Those two little guys would be thrilled," Xia Na nodded, smiling and giving Xia Yuan a sidelong glance.
