Chapter 427 Western Desserts
After taking a sip of coffee, Xu Dong pretended to praise:
“It tastes great!”

Yang Lina echoed, "It's really delicious!"

In fact, the couple rarely drink coffee in their lives, and they can't taste good or bad at all.

"If you like it, I will give you a can later, and you can take it home and drink it slowly."

Mrs. Mark said generously.

"No, no, no, it's not easy for you to get some coffee. You should keep it for yourself. Our family is used to drinking tea, so coffee is just a new taste." Yang Lina quickly refused.

"It's okay, we can buy more when the coffee is gone, it's not difficult."

Mrs. Mac insisted on sending it.

Yang Lina really couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she could only accept this intention in the end. . .

After some exchanges, with the intention of both parties, several people quickly drew closer.

Mrs. Mike walked into the kitchen and brought over the desserts that had been prepared in advance. There were two large boxes in total, and the portion seemed heavy.

"How did you do so much?" Xu Dong asked in surprise.

"Actually, it's not much. It weighs about ten catties in total. It's not as good as the dried shrimp you sent." Mrs. Mike shook her head.

Yang Lina was very interested in making desserts, so she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of cakes are they?"

"There are two kinds in total."

Mrs. Mac opened one of the boxes, which contained a pastry that looked like a sandwich biscuit. The colors were colorful and looked very cute.

Yang Lina asked curiously, "What is this?"

Mrs. Mike introduced carefully:
"This is a macaron. Although it looks like a sandwich biscuit, it tastes crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is completely different from the sandwich biscuit.

It is mainly made of protein, almond powder, white sugar and icing sugar, with fruit jam in the middle, and is very popular in the West. "

"Can I have a taste?"

Yang Lina asked impatiently.

Mrs. Mac nodded with a smile: "Of course, this is for you. You can eat whatever you want."

Yang Lina took a piece for her husband, and then took one for herself, and tasted it carefully.

"It's really delicious, Nicole, Mr. Mike, eat it too!" Yang Lina signaled.

The two waved their hands at the same time.

Mrs. Mac explained: "We have already eaten, and this is specially reserved for you."

After Yang Lina finished eating macarons, she quickly turned her attention to another box.

Mrs. Mac made a "please" gesture.

Yang Lina didn't dawdle, and gently opened the box. Inside was a square cake, the top was black, it looked like chocolate, and there were many layers underneath.

Knowing that Yang Lina is not very familiar with West Point, Mrs. Mike introduced directly:

"This is Opera Cake. It is a famous dessert in Gaul. It has rich chocolate and coffee flavors. It is loved by adults and children alike."

"It's so beautiful, it's a work of art." Yang Lina praised.

"Do you want to try it? I'll get the cutter."

Yang Lina quickly called Mrs. Mike: "Nicole, no need, this cake looks delicious at first glance, we want to take it back to taste with our family."

"Good idea." Mrs. Mac nodded.

Yang Lina closed the box again and asked casually:

"Nicole, did you make these pastries yourself?"

Mrs. Mike shook her head: "No, I can only make some simple desserts, like baked biscuits and donuts. These two snacks are packed back from outside."

"Hey, is there a cake shop in Yanjing?"

Yang Lina said in surprise.

"There should be no cake shop in Yanjing City, at least I haven't seen one." Mrs. Mike shook her head, "These desserts are the fruit of the chef on the 'Diamond Princess'."

"Diamond Princess?" Yang Lina was confused.

Mr. Mike helped explain: "The Diamond Princess is a super luxury cruise ship with a displacement of up to 110,000 five thousand tons. It is currently docked near the port of Jinmen."

"You made a special trip to Jinmen?"

"No, Mike just went to work on the cruise ship two days ago, just by the way, you don't have to bear any burden."

Xu Dong asked curiously, "Mr. Mike, what's going on with this cruise ship?"

"Mr. Xu, there are dozens of luxury cruise ships moored in Bohai Bay, and the Diamond Princess is just one of them. It's not surprising."

"Dozens of ships? Why haven't I seen relevant news reports?"

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, these luxury cruise ships are all bought by the international tycoons, and the tycoons themselves live on them, or their relatives and friends. You should have heard that rich people like to keep a low profile."

Xu Dong immediately understood what was going on, didn't he just come here to take refuge, since the big flare erupted, this kind of thing is very common.

There are also many people in China who choose to go abroad for asylum.

"Why don't they go ashore?"

"Capitalists are afraid of death. They always only believe in themselves and will not entrust their lives to others or other countries. Let me explain it this way..."

Xu Dong nodded quickly and said, "I understand!"

"Only people like us will choose a relatively stable country to settle down. For the rich, they never have Country in their eyes."

"Mr. Mike, you seem to be a bit uncomfortable with your tone?" Xu Dong joked.

"Yes, these people are too selfish. They live a life of luxury and don't care about the life of the country. They should go to hell."

Mr. Mike suddenly increased the volume.

Xu Dong raised his eyebrows involuntarily. It seemed that Mr. Mike must have been greatly stimulated on the cruise ship, so that he lost his composure.

Mrs. Mike quickly reminded: "Mike, there are guests here!"

"I'm sorry, I was rude." Mr. Mike apologized quickly.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "It's okay, I like dealing with people with true temperament."

"Haha, what a coincidence, so am I."

Mr. Mike laughed.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Xu Dong glanced at his watch. It was almost half past eleven, so he stood up and bid farewell.

Mrs. Mac took the opportunity to invite the two to have lunch.

Yang Lina declined: "The children are still at home waiting for us to go back to eat, so we won't stay. Next time we have free time, we will come out for afternoon tea together."

"Afternoon tea? Good!"

"Then it's settled, let's call." Yang Lina gestured for a call.

……

After 10 minutes, the couple finally arrived home.

Before entering the yard, Xu Dong shouted loudly:
"Dad is back and brought you something delicious, come out quickly!"

Soon, the children gathered around, and Lele took the big box from his father, almost smiling.

"Second sister, can you open it and have a look?"

Dabao urged.

Lele just wanted to do it, but the box was "snatched" by Yang Lina.

"Open it after eating, and the things can't escape."

"No……"

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
