Chapter 235 Didi and New Friends (2)
Didi carefully carried a tray filled with milk tea and pastries, and slowly walked into the front hall with Dingxiang and Qiangwei. She gently placed the tray on the antique wooden table, fearing that the exquisite delicacies inside would be accidentally spilled.
The three children climbed onto the chairs as nimbly as little monkeys, then eagerly lay on the edge of the table. Lilac and Rose fixed their curious eyes on the tray that exuded an alluring aroma. Their eyes were like being drawn by a magnet, staring at the colorful cakes on the tray without blinking.
For these two little girls, such exquisite pastries were something they had never seen or heard of before! They even wondered if they had entered a dreamland. Meanwhile, Wu Di, standing nearby, leisurely lifted a cup of steaming hot milk tea. With a smile, he gently pushed the remaining two trays toward Dingxiang and Qiangwei, urging them, "Don't just stand there, try some."
Dingxiang widened her eyes, pointed at the tray in disbelief and asked, "Are these... really for us?" Although Qiangwei didn't say anything, she swallowed unconsciously several times. It was obvious that she was already drooling.
Wu Di smiled and nodded, and answered affirmatively: "Of course! I have tasted it before, and it tastes great. Now these are all specially for you. Come on, enjoy the delicious cake first." As he said that, he enthusiastically picked up the cake and handed it to Dingxiang and Qiangwei.
Lilac and Rose took the cake with joy but a little hesitation, carefully examining the small and exquisite dessert in their hands.
It looks like a carefully crafted work of art.
I saw that the so-called cake was only half the size of a palm, but it had distinct layers, one black layer and one white layer, alternating between black and white. There was more white on the top, and there were crystal clear fruits on it.
Wu Di urged: "Eat it quickly, this is a cream chocolate cake, you have to eat it while it's fresh. The white part is cream, the dark part is chocolate sauce, and the inside is the soft cake.
It’s topped with fresh diced mango and sparkling cherries.”
As he said this, he handed two small spoons to Lilac and Rose.
The two little girls held the spoons but couldn't bring themselves to eat.
It’s so delicious that I can’t bear to eat it.
Wu Di saw the exquisite cake before him, and his heart moved. He stretched out his right index finger, gently dipped a little of the snow-white cream, and carefully put it into his mouth and licked it. Instantly, a rich sweetness spread across the tip of his tongue, and the sweet taste seemed to fill his entire mouth.
"Wow, it's so sweet! Come and try it too. Do you still want me to feed you?"
Hearing Wu Di's words, Dingxiang, who had been watching her, smiled sheepishly. Finally unable to hold back, she picked up a small spoon, gently scooped up a small spoonful of cream, and slowly put it into her mouth. The moment the sweet, delicate, and silky cream touched her taste buds, Dingxiang's eyes lit up.
"Wow, this taste... is so delicious that I have never tasted it before!" Dingxiang couldn't help but exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Qiangwei, who had been observing Dingxiang's reaction, saw that Dingxiang had already begun to enjoy the delicacy, and she could no longer suppress her inner desire. She eagerly grabbed a spoon, first aiming at the brightly colored fruit cubes on the top layer of cake, and quickly scooped some into her mouth.
"Ah!" Qiangwei couldn't help but exclaim as she took a bite of the diced fruit. The wonderful taste of the fresh, juicy fruit and the sweet, delicious cream blended perfectly together, intoxicating her. Then, Qiangwei simply put down her spoon and reached out to grab a cherry and stuffed it into her mouth.
As soon as she bit into the plump, round cherry, the sweet juice immediately overflowed her mouth. Qiangwei ate with utter satisfaction, even narrowing her eyes slightly as she savored the incomparable delicacy. Then, she picked up the spoon again and scooped a large spoonful of the mixed fruit and cream into her mouth. From that moment on, Qiangwei was like a starving kitten, completely immersed in the world of food, unable to stop.
The two lovely girls happily ate the cake, spoonful after spoonful. Soon, the already small piece of cake disappeared at an alarming speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, even the plate the cake had been placed on was licked clean by them, leaving not a single crumb.
"This...this...cake is so so delicious!" They both shouted in unison, their faces filled with happy and satisfied smiles.
"Miss Didi, I've never tasted such delicious cakes!" Little girl Qiangwei said happily, her eyes wide open, her face full of happiness. She still held the little spoon tightly in her hand.
Wu Di: "I told you not to call me Miss. I'm Sister Didi. Sister Didi, Sister Didi, I say this three times if it's important."
Qiangwei stuck out her tongue and said hurriedly, "Remember, Sister Didi."
Dingxiang nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Yes, yes, Sister Didi, I'm afraid even the ladies in our house have never tasted such delicious food."
Wu Di smiled slightly and replied with a hint of pride, "Of course. After all, this is a special delicacy unique to our hometown."
At this time, Qiangwei asked curiously, "So, was this cake made by Master Zhu?"
Wu Di: "What we're eating today...um...is made by my aunt."
Wu Di couldn't explain where he got it from, and since it was Shifeng's brother who did it, he could only put the blame on his aunt.
"Wow, my aunt is so amazing."
Wu Di: "Actually, my aunt learned this from my mother. My mother is a chef, but she is busy cooking most of the time, so she rarely makes pastries like this. Usually, they are made by her apprentices. Only on my birthday will my mother cook for me herself. Next time it is my birthday, I will ask my mother to make a super big birthday cake of this height for everyone. Please enjoy it together." As he spoke, Wu Di stretched out his hand to gesture the length that was as high as the table.
Although the two little girls, Lilac and Rose, didn't know when Didi's birthday was, and couldn't imagine how spectacular a cake as tall as the table would look, they were still very excited, nodding their heads constantly, their eyes full of anticipation.
Especially Dingxiang, she thought more.
Before, she just wanted to serve the distinguished guest well and do her job well. Now, the distinguished guest and Sister Didi have opened a door for her. She feels so lucky to be sent to Qingfengju.
