Lucky Chef

Chapter 512 Careful Preparation
"Sister Jin, do you think I can do well?"

Luo Siyun lives in the Yilan courtyard which is the closest to the main courtyard and the inner courtyard is the closest. The old lady is guarding the gate of the courtyard, and there are many people standing guard in the courtyard, but the house is already busy.

Xiao Si raised his head and asked while he was busy.

Her face is white and red, and she looks like a princess of a country, like a little girl who steals food.However, it was this touch of white and red that added a bit of cuteness to her, which warmed Luo Jin's heart.

What Luo Siyun was making at this time was a birthday cake.

After Luo Jin's explanation a few days ago, she already knew that this so-called birthday cake was for birthday celebrations, and she wanted to make the most beautiful one for her mother.

However, this one at hand...

What the hell is this flower, it doesn't look like a flower, and the cream doesn't smooth out.

Xiao Si was a little discouraged.

"Xiao Si is so smart, he will definitely be able to do it." Luo Jin smiled happily.

This is not to comfort her, but to tell the truth.An eight or nine-year-old girl, who has only done it a few times, looks pretty good.

Liu Yan, who was slapping her hand, also persuaded, "Miss Si is really serious, why don't you take a break and try again. Or, it's okay to have a servant girl make one and send it up."

Girls make desserts to celebrate their mother's birthday, and what they send is their hearts, not necessarily a pastry that can be scored ten points.Luo Jin glanced at Liu Yan with slight annoyance, and her red lips parted slightly, "It's Xiaosi's mother's birthday, no matter whether it's done well or not, it's all Xiaosi's heart and filial piety. In fact, as long as it's made by Xiaosi himself, I think the Duke and Madam will be very happy."

"But, I'm too stupid to do well."

Luo Siyun is wronged, a few days ago she went to Prince Gong's mansion to learn it once, but she has tried it three times today but failed.

"Don't be discouraged. In fact, my sister thinks that this is very good." Seeing the little girl's aggrieved and worried look, Luo Jin reached out and rubbed her head, soothing her softly.

"No, I have to make another one, it must be better than this one."

"Then try again. It's all right."

Luo Siyun nodded fiercely, and went to get another one.

This is the third one I made today.

Fortunately, I asked Liu Yan to make several cake blanks and bring them here, and Luo Siyun also prepared enough materials.

Although it is impossible to make the bottom layer of the cake, it is not an easy task to spread the cream evenly, and then write and make flowers on it.Encouraged by Luo Jin, Luo Siyun started to make the fourth cake.

……

Time flies, it is already noon, it is time for lunch.

Lunch is held in the main hall where the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard intersect.

In the garden, there is no distinction between men and women. They all enjoy flowers together, or talk about poetry and music. At this time, they are eating, but they are still talking about etiquette. Except for the chairperson at the table, the hall is divided into two sides, the men's side. On the female side, the middle is also separated by a screen.

In this way, both sides can see today's birthday star at the banquet, and avoid suspicion.

Grandma Meng, who is next to Mrs. Murong, the Duke's wife, came to report: Miss Fourth has not arrived yet for some reason, but all the guests are here, can we start the banquet first?

Mrs. Guo's face was gloomy, and she felt a little unhappy. She nodded and ordered Nanny Meng to open the banquet, and at the same time asked the girl beside her to go to Fourth Miss Yilan Courtyard to have a look.

At this moment, two servant girls came in carrying a large box.

Followed by Luo Siyun who had already changed her clothes and had a cute face.

Luo Siyun was protecting the box, and while walking, she playfully stuck out her tongue at Mrs. Guogong.Then he knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.

"Mother, my daughter wishes you a long life and good health, and you will always be as beautiful as you are now."

Everyone looked over, of course they knew that the box was a gift from Miss Si to their mother, so they couldn't help being a little curious.

My favorite daughter carefully prepared a gift for herself, and Mrs. Guo naturally had a smile on her face. She hummed and raised her hand, "Get up."

"Little Four, what is this?"

The two maids who had already lifted the box placed it on the table at the main table. Looking at the big box in front of them, Luo Jinyu couldn't help being curious.

Luo Siyun snorted, and didn't tell Luo Jinyu, but went to see Murong's surreptitiously.

"Mother, open it and have a look, this is made by my daughter herself, you can't dislike it." Luo Siyun said coquettishly.

The Duke's wife just regarded it as a small gadget, and opened the box with a smile under the watchful eyes of everyone.

I saw that inside was a very large pastry that I had never seen before.

The pastry was very beautiful, with red, green and green fruits neatly arranged on it, and flowers painted around it, or roses, her favorite flowers.

The whole pastry is like a grand flower basket, with strange wrinkles, very beautiful and dazzling.

Not only that, but on the top of the pastry, there is a line of red font.

Luo Jinyu couldn't help stretching his head to look, and read out softly, wishing mother a happy birthday and never getting old!
All the people were overwhelmed by how big and special the pastry was.

Although Luo Jin's Petal House also sells cakes, they have never bought this kind of birthday cake. It is still such a big one. Therefore, it is the first time for everyone present to see such a beautiful and interesting cake.

Like a painting, like a poem.

"This is...Little Four?"

The Duke's wife was obviously a little excited, her voice trembling slightly.

Such a strange and beautiful pastry, eaten like a flower, was actually made by her eight-year-old daughter herself!

There is a hint of pride in it!

"Mother, this novel pastry is called a birthday cake. I learned it after pestering sister Jin for a long time. Do you like it, mother?" Luo Siyun looked at her mother anxiously.

The surrounding guests have long been overwhelmed by such a big, odd and beautiful pastry.

Now I hear that this pastry, which is as beautiful as a painting, is actually made by an eight-year-old child.

If you look closely, the peony flowers depicted on the white pastry are indeed a little childish and clumsy and cute. I'm afraid it was really made by a child. I can't help it, but I can't believe it.

Luo Siyun is a pampered young lady, how can she be so capable?Luo Erfen tugged at the veil, wishing to bleed from his eyes.

"Of course Niang likes it, thank you, Xiaosi." Mrs. Guo's eyes were a little hazy, she looked at her daughter lovingly, her daughter was sensible.

Luo Siyun boasted with three parts milky and seven parts, pointed to a corner of the hall, and said, "Mother, you have to thank someone else, it's this cake, but sister Jin taught her daughter by hand."

Mrs. Murong followed Luo Siyun's fingers and saw Luo Jin.

The woman was dressed in a plain dress, her figure was slender, and her eyes were full of smiles. When she saw her, she bowed and bowed. Although she was not as shy as a moon, she had a gentle smile.

"Greetings to Mrs. Duke." Luo Jin nodded in salute, walked lightly, and spoke softly, her voice was as fresh and elegant as hers, like a magnolia standing proudly on a branch.

Murong could see Luo Jin's difference at a glance.

This kind of woman is not as gorgeous as Guo Pinyao, but she knows how to hide her sharpness and coquettishness, her seemingly pure and plain color, but she is forced to retreat from the colorful, and suppresses the Yingying Yanyan in the room calmly.

Facing Mrs. Lin's scrutinizing eyes, Luo Jin had already walked up, smiled sweetly, and said politely: "I heard from Miss Si that Mrs. Guogong is an amiable person, and she is indeed so when I saw her today." She saluted again, and a Standard etiquette for junior nobles to meet their elders for the first time.

Murong smiled, and took the initiative to go forward to help Luo Jin, looked carefully from top to bottom for a moment, couldn't help laughing and said: "Mrs. Shao's life is really good. Although my wife has never seen it before, she feels familiar when she sees it. This is probably the eye relationship in the legend, no wonder Xiaosi likes you."
