Chapter 322: Cookies are out of the oven
Drinking tea and eating snacks is standard. Qi Xingyun sent someone to buy snacks that Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er liked to eat. Although they were hungry, Qi Xingyun still reminded them, "Grandma, Xiao Cao'er, just eat two pieces to fill your stomach. Save some room for the biscuits when they come out of the oven."
Old Lady Yang agreed as she ate: "I know, I know, I'll only eat one piece of each. After eating and drinking two cups of tea, I'll be hungry again."
"Yeah, yeah, grandma is right. I also only eat one piece of each." Xiao Cao'er said while eating.
One piece of each is not a small amount, so we bought quite a few snacks this time. After they finished their snacks, the cookies were ready.
"Okay, they're out of the oven. The cookies are out of the oven." The cook opened the oven and took out the baking tray. He immediately smelled a rich aroma, like a ray of magical magic that instantly filled the entire space.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Even Xiao Cao'er, who had eaten a lot of biscuits in his previous life, thought it smelled good, let alone the people in this time and space.
"Oh, I didn't expect the cookies to be so delicious." Old Mrs. Yang also said.
It is a rich and mellow sweet fragrance, a mixture of the aroma of butter, the wheat aroma of flour and the sweet fragrance of sugar, which touches people's olfactory nerves.
"Come on, come on, everyone try it." Xiao Cao'er couldn't wait to pick up a piece of biscuit and put it into his mouth.
The freshly baked cookies are small and exquisite, each one is plump and crispy, with slightly raised edges, as if proudly showing off its perfect shape. With a light bite, the crispy texture blooms between the teeth with a "crack", instantly releasing a rich buttery aroma and sweet taste, making people feel as if they are in the clouds of happiness, intoxicated in this wonderful moment.
After Xiao Cao'er ate one piece herself, she handed one piece to Old Lady Yang, and then took another piece and put it to Qi Xingyun's mouth.
Qi Xingyun has never liked sweets, but at this moment, looking at the cute smiling face of the little girl in front of him, and her big eyes that were sparkling and as bright as countless stars, and handing over the cookies in her hand with full of anticipation, he could not refuse this kindness anyway.
Qi Xingyun looked at Xiao Cao'er tenderly, and the corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc unconsciously. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and gently took the biscuit handed over by Xiao Cao'er.
When the biscuit was put into the mouth, a sweet smell instantly spread. Qi Xingyun thought that he would feel sick of it like before, but at this moment, he unexpectedly found that the biscuit was so delicious.
After eating a piece of biscuit, Grandma Yang happily greeted everyone: "Oh my, it's so delicious! Come and try it!" Hearing this, people around gathered around, eager to taste this magical biscuit.
The cook, who had just tasted one piece, was savoring the aftertaste in his mouth while curiously asking Xiao Cao'er: "Girl, do you want to continue baking these?" Xiao Cao'er nodded without hesitation and answered crisply: "Of course! Not only should we bake the rest, but also those at the back as well!" After getting the affirmative answer, the cook immediately turned around and went back to baking cookies.
"Oh my, what on earth smells so good?" a voice came from the gate of the yard.
At this moment, everyone present turned around and cast their eyes towards the gate. They saw the retired emperor and the empress dowager, surrounded by several attendants, slowly entering the courtyard. They walked calmly, with dignified manners, and exuded a noble and majestic aura.
"Oh, it's Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi! Please come in, please come in!" When Mrs. Yang saw the two, she smiled and walked towards Mrs. Qi. She held Mrs. Qi's hands warmly, with a kind and amiable smile on her face, and kept saying, "Come on, try the cookies that Xiao Cao has just made. They are fresh out of the oven, and they smell delicious!" Then she turned around and waved to Mr. Qi standing beside her, saying, "Don't be polite, Mr. Qi, come and try them together."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but chuckle and responded, "Haha, it seems we came at the right time today. We just happened to catch the cookies freshly baked. We are in for a treat!" Before she finished speaking, she was pulled to the table by Old Lady Yang and sat down.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Qi Xingyun asked after the two sat down.
"Today I heard someone say that you made an iron stove in your house and brought it to the old lady. I thought there must be something new, so I came to take a look." Master Qi said.
"When we thought of the newly made iron stove, we wondered if Xiaocao'er had made something delicious again, so we hurried over. We didn't expect that she had really made something new." Mrs. Qi took Xiaocao'er's hand and patted it.
Yun Er quickly stuffed the remaining biscuits in his hand into his mouth and swallowed them whole, then ran to fetch water to make tea.
