Chapter 619: Heaven Rewards a Good Meal!

ttention from outsiders. He hurried forward and dissuaded them."Master, Second Master, the past is gone, it's good to be reunited now. Let's just think about the future. We can't keep crying like this...Chen was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "That's right, master. I'm left-handed, my left hand is more nimble than my right..."

Jia Yin laughed at that moment, "I was still worried, now this is easily solved. I'll have someone bring you some medicine right away, you quickly heal your right hand, as long as it can be simply assisted, your left hand can still do buttercream piping."

Chen Xi didn't understand what buttercream piping was, thinking that the master was comforting him for fear he would harm himself. He quickly declined, "Master, my right hand is disabled. It's a great kindness to be able to stay in the shop and do some odd jobs. I dare not delay your important business…"

"No, Master Chen, buttercream piping isn't a physical job; it requires more talent. You only need your left hand to be good, and you're capable enough." Jia Yin waved her hand and said, "Here, I brought some buttercream from home. Try it later, you'll see."

At this time, Tao Hongying also walked out.

The oven had been preheated for a while. We brought the batter from home and baked five small cake blanks very quickly.

Jiayin slowly used cream to smooth the cake batter, then mixed the remaining cream with a little vegetable juice, turning it a light green. She filled it into triangular oiled paper bags, snipping off a small point at the tip.

Thus, the triangular paper bag became a brush, the light green cream became ink, and on the white cream cake, it lightly painted a few leaves.

Chen Xi stood by, staring intently at everything, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

When the paper bag was handed to him, his wrists were shaking. After struggling for a long time to steady them, he took a deep breath and used green frosting to draw a flower. Even near the stem of the flower, he added a bird...

This simple pattern was far inferior to those Jia Yin had seen in her past life, but here it was strangely novel.

Everyone couldn't help but crowd around, watching from the side and cheering softly.

"Wow, drawing on snacks!"

"Chen Xi's painting is really good!"

"No, from now on it should be Master Chen!"

Unfortunately, Chen Xi couldn't hear these praises at all. His mind was filled with the cream, bags, and cakes in front of him.

He eagerly begged Mr. Peng to cut the paper bag wider so that more cream could be squeezed out...

By the time Chen Xi reached the last cake, a vibrant tapestry of flowers adorned its surface.

It's not a flat painting, it's like cream stacked up, as three-dimensional as real flowers...

Jia Yin cheered and clapped for him with delight.

She was right, Chen Xi was born to eat this bowl of rice!

... Without any examples or guidance, relying solely on his talent, he was able to achieve such results with his first attempt....

"Master Chen, take good care of your injuries! After this, all the cake decorating in the shop will be up to you!" Jia Yin gave Chen Xi a large reassurance.

Chen Xi was stunned, put down the paper bag in his hand, knelt down with a plop and began to kowtow loudly, crying inconsolably.

"Master, oh master, from now on, Chen Xi will die for you, even as your ghost! Oh master, you saved my life... I thought I'd have to beg on the streets. I even considered hanging myself to join my parents!"

Everyone's heart ached upon hearing this, and they all retracted their smiles.

Jia Yin quickly instructed Peng Chuan to help, lifting Chen Xi up and saying, “You stayed here by your own ability, not because of anyone’s pity. First, recover from your injuries, and then work hard afterwards. The shop won’t treat you poorly.”

"Yes, yes, master, *sniffle*, I'll definitely work hard!" Chen Xi insisted and kowtowed three more times before getting up.

Jia Yin put her mind at ease, and said to Peng Chuan, "These few days, you should take good care of Chen Xi's injuries. You can redeem yourself through this. Beforehand, for your mistakes, I will deduct one month's wages from you, and let it be a warning."

"Yes, thank you, Master. I will be more careful in the future." Peng Chuan was relieved to only be fined and not dismissed. He bowed repeatedly.

Tao Hongying washed her hands and stood at the doorway, secretly watching the courtyard. She said to Lao Tai Li and Madam Wen, "Our Funiu seems to have grown up all of a sudden. She's not afraid of so many people. I was still worried that she was too young and would be bullied..."

This passage is full of melancholy.

Parents always hope their children grow up, but they are reluctant to let them.

Old Li also nodded and said with emotion, "Fu Niuer has been spending time with the second son lately, pondering over Baiguayuan and the Relief Bureau. Now that the Marquis is back, he has started taking her along to manage the relationships of the Houfu, arranging for this teahouse... she's truly learned a lot."

Tao Hongying looked a little downcast as she walked up to her mother-in-law and whispered, "I've talked it over with Lao Si. About Jia An... we think it's best to just let him do his thing, as long as he doesn't cause trouble. I suspect San Sao would agree."

Lao Li remained silent, only gazing at her granddaughter in the courtyard.

The little one was completely without the sweetness of a pampered child at home. She distributed tasks and arranged chores, quite realistically.

She sighed deeply, “Alright, you parents have made your decision, I won’t stop you. It can't be that our son is weaker than his sister! Relying on his sister to protect him for life would be a laughing matter.”

Jia Yin didn't know that by dealing with one wicked person, she had caused her grandmother and mother to change their minds, freeing the ropes that bound her brothers...

When the sun reached its zenith, Li Laotai and her party arrived at Baihuayuan.

Li Lao'er was seeing the carpenter off as they left. The greenhouse in Dongyuan had already been built.

Upon seeing his family arrive, he was overjoyed and immediately asked Zheng Feng to go to Xianke to pick up some food. Then, he led everyone on a tour of the greenhouse.

This season, it's very hot at noon, but the morning and evening are already close to frost.

Therefore, the sunny side of the heated room was fitted with large wooden windows that could be opened and closed. The windows were fitted with large panes of glass.

Keep the windows open during the day for ventilation and close them at night and in the morning to keep warm. This creates the most comfortable living space for delicate flowers.

Li Laotai and others had never seen glass before. Standing in the greenhouse, they were all amazed and asked questions one after another.

"This glass is too clean, walking across it you'd probably be invisible"

"Yes, during such a wintertime, the flowers cultivated here can bask in the sunlight without fear of wind and snow."

"If this glass were inlaid in the window of our home, it would surely be very bright!"

"I think it would be best to use the schoolhouse. If Jiaren's study could have a few more boards for writing, reading wouldn't strain our eyes."

Jia Yin followed behind, listening to the idle chatter of the crowd. Suddenly, she felt that the windows of the small courtyard wouldn't be able to contain all the sounds.

She quickly hugged her grandmother's arm and shouted, "Grandma, I'm hungry. Let's eat first, okay I still need to buy good things this afternoon!"

As expected, Old Li chuckled and tapped her forehead playfully, scolding her gently before leaving.

After the meal, everyone went straight shopping without lingering.

When women go shopping, the things they like and are willing to spend money on are fabrics, threads, and jewelry.

As the sun began to set, full of their harvest, young women got off the cart, smiles on their faces.

It was rare for Lao San to bring his family back from Luo'an, and they were waiting in the courtyard.

Jīā'ān and Jiāxǐ were putting on smiles, but no matter how you looked at them, their hearts seemed to be filled with anxiety.

They had returned to the academy before, intending to study slowly and then find an opportunity to persuade their family.

But the two brothers were restless outside. Sitting in the schoolhouse, they felt like they had a nail in their buttocks and couldn't get comfortable at all.

After two days of enduring this, both of them had lost weight and their lips were blistered... exposed, and the academy intervened, expelling them.Unexpectedly, after more than three years, they actually returned to Xindu and even got a post to attend the Meiyuan Poetry Gathering…"Meow, little...
