Chapter 79 Capturing Her Stomach
Chapter 79 Capturing Her Stomach
Li Shuwen brought out all the pastries and snacks she could find at home, hoping to leave a good impression on Qingcai.
Since Bai Cai brought her younger sister along, it means that Bai Cai has feelings for him and is willing to introduce him to her family.
Li Shuwen must perform well!
Fortunately, Li Shuwen had prepared a lot of pastries in advance for tomorrow's camping trip.
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "We didn't prepare much at home, so we haven't been very hospitable."
Looking at the dazzling array of pastries on the table, the vegetable noodle shop owner asked sarcastically:
"Wow, so many pastries! It was worth my sister taking time off to come see you."
Cynthia glared at Gadriya. "Such delicious pastries can't shut you up!"
Gadriya, however, was fearless. Cynthia was now playing the role of a quiet and elegant cabbage, and a cabbage would not teach her a lesson in front of Li Shuwen.
On the contrary, she can use Li Shuwen as a card to make fun of Cynthia.
Cattleya picked up a chocolate chip cookie and took a bite.
"It's really delicious!"
Suddenly, Gadriya's eyes lit up as she looked at the various snacks on the table and said:
"Where's the ice cream? Don't you know my sister loves ice cream the most?"
Li Shuwen jumped up. "I'll do it right now!"
Since there's no ice maker at home, I had to ask Super Strength to use his Freeze Punch to help make ice cream.
This was indeed his oversight; he forgot that cabbage has absolutely no resistance to ice cream.
Preparing so many snacks is less appealing to cabbage than a box of ice cream.
From now on, we need to keep all kinds of ice cream flavors at home!
To win over a cabbage's heart, you have to win over its stomach with ice cream.
Li Shuwen looked at Bai Cai and said, "I'm sorry, Bai Cai, this was indeed my oversight. Please try the ice cream I made myself today."
Cynthia raised her hand, intending to let Li Shuwen sit down, but Gadriya grabbed her hand and smiled, saying:
"Then you'd better put your heart into it, or it might not even taste as good as the ice cream from the street vendors."
Li Shuwen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the ice cream I make with all my might is incomparable to the food trucks on the roadside."
I had chocolate powder, strawberries, mangoes, bananas, oranges, and blueberries at home, and I made jam in advance.
Combine with cream, egg yolks, and milk; simply whip and mix.
Make the monster use Freeze Punch a few times, and stir it after each Freeze Punch to avoid producing ice crystals that would affect the texture.
That's how you make qualified ice cream.
Guai Li calmly and perfectly froze the ice cream according to Li Shuwen's instructions.
In just ten minutes, Li Shuwen brought out two servings of chocolate ice cream.
After tasting it, Cattleya nodded slightly. "It's really good. I feel like I can taste a strong sense of love in it. What about you, sister?"
Cynthia took a spoonful, savoring the silky texture of the chocolate ice cream, and her eyes lit up instantly. She unconsciously scooped out spoonful after spoonful.
Li Shuwen's eyes were hopeful as he awaited Bai Cai's evaluation.
Cynthia smiled. "Mmm, it's delicious. It's like stepping into an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day; it makes you feel comfortable all over."
"After eating this ice cream, I feel like I can never eat a cone from a food truck again."
Li Shuwen smiled confidently, "I'm glad you like it."
This shows that Li Shuwen's tactics were effective.
Actually, Gadriya wasn't joking.
With her superpowers so strong they were almost out of control, Cattleya did indeed taste the affection Li Shuwen had for cabbage that he had incorporated into the ice cream he made.
"Cabbage, do you want me to make the rest of the ice cream into cones?"
Cynthia shook her head. "We can't eat anymore. It's almost time for dinner. Where's Ning?"
Li Shuwen shook his head. "She's probably off to the Pokémon Center to try and get a 100-win streak. I'll call her back right now."
Upon learning that Bai Cai had arrived, Li Meining returned as quickly as possible.
"Sister Cabbage, long time no see!"
After exchanging greetings, Li Meining noticed Cattleya standing next to Cynthia.
"Who is this?"
Cattleya waved, "Hello, I'm Cabbage's younger sister, Green Cabbage."
Li Meining extended her hand. "Hello."
My sister? She has the same blonde hair and is just as beautiful.
I've never heard of Cynthia having a sister, so is her suspicion wrong?
Unbeknownst to Cynthia, Li Meining had already begun to suspect her true identity.
"Xiao Ning is back, so let's go to Caibo Dessert Shop for dinner."
Li Shuwen immediately stood up. "I'll go get the car. You guys wait for me at the door."
Cynthia sat in the passenger seat, while Li Meining and Gadria sat in the back.
On the way to the dessert shop, Cattleya asked curiously:
"If you also sell cooked food, why is the shop called a dessert shop?"
Li Shuwen replied, "Because Chef Caibo's wife loved desserts, Chef Caibo created this dessert to commemorate her, even though he is skilled in culinary specialties from around the world."
"But he still named the shop Caibo Dessert Shop."
Cattleya nodded. "It sounds like a romantic love story."
Cynthia, however, seized on the key point: "Chef Zeppelin's wife passed away?"
Li Shuwen nodded, "That's right, it seems to be some kind of incurable disease. Veil City is actually the hometown of Chef Caibo's wife."
"Chef Caibo came to Weimu City to open a shop because his wife said she hoped that people in his hometown could taste Chef Caibo's cooking skills."
Chef Caibo continues to hone his skills, while the old man with lung fog remains trapped in the past, unable to extricate himself.
Comparing the lung fogger and Chef Cai Bo, the difference in skill is immediately apparent.
After parking the car, the four of them went into Caibo Dessert Shop.
"Uncle Caibo, we're here to patronize your business again!"
There seem to be quite a lot of people eating at the dessert shop today.
Fortunately, there was one table left.
"Let's sit over there."
Upon hearing Li Shuwen's voice, Chef Cai Bo immediately pulled back the curtain.
"Shuwen, come in and help."
"Coming right away." Li Shuwen set out a chair for Bai Cai. "You guys order first, I'll go help Uncle Caibo."
This is a good opportunity to ask Uncle Caibo if he has any secret ice cream recipes.
Li Shuwen went to the kitchen and said, "Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?"
Cai Bo was preparing two dishes at the same time. "Could you help me prepare these ingredients? I really can't manage it all by myself."
Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Why are there so many people today?"
Chef Caibo sighed, "They're all fans of Cynthia. They heard that Cynthia praised the food at my restaurant, so they came all the way here to see her."
"Guests like this simply cannot fully appreciate the flavor of the food."
But as a chef, one must serve guests who have not made any mistakes.
While preparing the ingredients, Li Shuwen asked, "Uncle, have you developed any secret ice cream recipes?"
Cai Bo asked with a smile, "What? Does your girlfriend like ice cream?"
Li Shuwen said, "Bai Cai does like ice cream, but I'm still trying to make her my girlfriend."
Cai Bo patted Li Shuwen on the shoulder, "Very good, very energetic! I'll teach you my secret ice cream recipe right away!"
There really is!
After preparing and serving the two dishes, Chef Bo returned to the kitchen, took out a notebook from the cabinet, found the corresponding place, and handed it to Li Shuwen.
"Take a look at this."
Li Shuwen read it carefully, nodding repeatedly. The design was ingenious, with multiple flavors and distinct layers.
Cabbage will definitely like it.
"Uncle, I'd like to borrow your kitchen to try making this kind of ice cream!"
Chef Cai Bo nodded, "I'll help you! I guarantee you'll win the heart of your beauty!"
