Strange World Little CookingChapter 12: Cream Cake (Part 2)
Thank you for reading this chapter at prosperous food dot com. We are delighted to have you here.
Enjoy the new chapter. And the new dish… is my favourite as well.
"What is this?" Lu Mo looked at the item that Shiyu had brought over, and her eyes were transfixed by the sweet scent in front of her. On the plate in front of her were five slices of white colour fat dessert. Once it is placed on the table, a whiffed of freshly baked scent immediately drifted over.
"This is something that I have specially cooked for you." Shiyu replied, "This is fresh cream cake. I believe you will like it."
Lin Fan took out a slice and placed it in Lu Mo's hand, and he picked up one for himself. The cake had a lot of cream on top, and there are some fruits on time. The cream is soft and sweet, and is different from the Chinese cakes that he was used to. In the modern world, this cake is the bane of women trying to lose weight.
As expected, one bite and Lu Mo is hooked. There are only 5 slices. She finished the remaining 3 slices as well. When she finished all 4 slices, she suddenly felt embarrassed, "Sorry, I could not help myself."
Xiao Qi just watched on with envy. She also wanted to eat…
Shiyu noticed Xiao Qi's eyes and patted her head. She did not make more as this is quite time-consuming. Furthermore, she needed to cater to the dinner crowd. "That is for our guests, when we reached home, I will cook more for you."
"En En." Xiao Qi nodded her head, "Elder Sister, you go and busy yourself. There is no need to worry about me!"
Shiyu then left.
Lu Mo felt even more embarrassed. She had never expected this awkward situation before. It must be because Lin Fan is by her side, and she let her guard down. Beet red with embarrassment, Lu Mo waved her hand and a jade colour box magically appeared in her hand. She passed the box to Xiao Qi, "Inside this box is a Jade Ginseng. This is a gift for you."
Xiao Qi shook her head, and her big, round eyes were filled with determination, "Sister, this too expensive, I could not accept it."
Lu Mo smiled, "How do you know it is expensive?"
Xiao Qi glanced at Shiyu and replied, "Elder Sister said so. As long as it is a gift, it is very expensive."
"Hahaha." Lin Fan laughed in amusement. He carried Xiao Qi and let her sit on his lap, "Since elder sister Mo's gift is too expensive, then I will give you this, is that all right?" He waved his hand, and a stick of haw candy appeared.
Once she saw the stick of haw candy, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up.
"Great!"
Shiyu was preparing the ingredients when she saw this. She almost accidentally cut her fingers.
What is going on?
Why is Xiao Qi sitting on Lin Fan's lap?
Her imagination goes into hyperdrive. Don't tell her that Lin Fan and Xiao Qi's fate have been tied together, and in future, Xiao Qi will marry him as well. According to the novel that Er Gou wrote, Lin Fan had a harem of over 10 wives.
Shiyu was alarmed. In this world that her friends had created, the male lead and the female lead are highly charismatic. Anyone who has contact with them is instantly attracted to them.
But, she regarded Xiao Qi as a younger sister, and is unwilling to let Xiao Qi share a man with other women.
She thought for a minute, and shouted, "Xiao Qi, please help me get some onions!"
Xiao Qi immediately leapt down from Lin Fan's leg and rushed over to help out, all the while chewing on the stick of haw candy.
Lin Fan did not notice Shiyu's unhappiness, but Lu Mo did.
The baby lobsters are finally ready for sale. After preparing everything, she gave Lin Fan and Lu Mo a big bowl, and cooked some other vegetables, and allowed them to help themselves.
Because they have a guest today, there is less food for sale. The baby lobsters were quickly sold out. Many customers were not happy. Shiyu had no choice but to issue them a token. She told them that if they return tomorrow with this token, she will give them ½ a jin more baby lobsters. The customers are finally satisfied and left.
When all the customers had left, Shiyu closed the doors. There were only a few of them here.
Grandpa and the other children are helping to clean up the place, as they mopped the floor, wash the plates and wipe the table. Only Shiyu sat opposite Lin Fan and Lu Mo.
"Are you happy with the taste of the food?" Shiyu asked. When it comes to food, she is not modest at all. She is very clear about her cooking skills. As long as she had the right ingredients, she could make Lin Fan swallow his own tongue in his haste to eat the food that she cooks.
"Of course, we love it." No matter how scheming he is, he is still a teenager.
"You have seen with your own eyes, our business is not bad. And the baby lobster is but one of my specialities."
"You can cook other dishes?" Lin Fan was tempted. He is not a foodie. But the taste of these foods had converted him into one.
"Of course. The better the ingredients, the better the taste. I am quite confident in my abilities to cook."
"Since you said this, I am looking forward to the food you cooked using spiritual beast meat."
Shiyu shrugged her shoulders, "I also want to cook it, but it is too expensive. I do not have the power to catch one by myself. Let's do this. When you have some meat, sent it over. I will cook it for you for free."
"Not a problem."
"Then let's go the point. Lin Fan, I will give you half of the proceeds of this restaurant, and you will become one of the shareholders of this restaurant. Do not reject me first. I have something to request from you. In future, you will definitely achieve great things, and the Lin family clan will also prosper with you. If we have someone backing us, it will be easier for us to do business. Therefore, to ensure that the business can grow, I am more than happy to give this share away." Shiyu said.
Lin Fan asked, "Why did you not select other people as your backer?"
She is the only one who can tell that the necklace contains a secret. He does not believe that she does not have a secret of her own.
"I am an ordinary person, and I will not stay here for the rest of my life." Shiyu replied, "I may not be here, but my family will stay here. I hope someone will protect them."
Shiyu had long wanted to explore this world. This world is huge and she craves the spirit of adventure.
Lin Fan mulled it over. Usually, when he gains something, he also needs to give something. In accepting the restaurant, he also has to guard it.
But he quickly agreed. Xiao Qi gave him a feeling of warmth and Shiyu had returned his necklace to him. Right now, he is much stronger. If he protects them, this is a good reward for their assistance when he is down. If he could not even handle this matter, how is he going to achieve great things in future?
"But I need to inform you something. I will take Xiao Qi back with me." He replied.
When he saw Shiyu frowned, he immediately explained, "Just now, I have examined Xiao Qi. She is suitable for cultivation. If she follows you, she will not be able to cultivate. This is a waste of her talents."
What? Xiao Qi can cultivate?
Not only Shiyu was shocked. All the others also crowded around the table in shock.
Shiyu finally replied, "Since that is the case, I will not reject your offer. But can you check the rest of my siblings? See if they could cultivate?"
Lin Fan: "…….."

Notes
[1] The raw had a lot of errors regarding the names, and it took me some time to double and triple check to sort out the mess. I hope this is not an April fool's chapter that I translated, or I am going to cry bucket-loads.
