Chapter 139: Fragrant Milk Cake
After pouring tea for the two, Chu Heng glanced at the fragrant milk cakes made by Ye. Originally, he didn't want to share them but then he remembered what his mother said about Ye wanting to sell the cakes. After a brief hesitation, he took out three portions of fragrant milk cakes and placed them on the tea table for Du Heng and Xie Yu to taste. He also sat down with a copy of the Book of Mencius by his side. Xie Yu couldn't wait to discuss scholarly matters with Chu Heng. Du Heng had already talked with Xie Yu about this so he didn't interrupt and instead happily picked up a piece of cake to eat. As soon as the fragrant milk cake entered his mouth, Du Heng's eyes lit up. Being a lover of sweets, he finished two or three bites in an instant and still seemed unsatisfied. After taking a sip of tea, he slowly savored the milky flavor in his mouth. After about a quarter of an hour, both Xie Yu and Chu Heng stopped their discussion. They exchanged smiles indicating that they had gained different insights and understandings from the topic. Xie Yu's mood instantly improved and he turned his head to see Du Heng enjoying the tea with a joyful expression. "Old Du, what's up?" Xie Yu laughed. As soon as Du Heng heard this, he immediately sat up straight looking towards Chu Heng with anticipation. "Brother Heng, these cakes are too delicious. Can I have another piece? I've never tasted anything like this before, your family must be extraordinary." Du Heng also wanted to use Xie Yu's status to get another piece of cake from Chu Heng. He didn't stop and urged, "You have to try it, Brother Yu. It's amazing. I've never had anything like this at home." Xie Yu, on the other hand subconsciously rebutted "Impossible. My family has the most diverse pastries in Nanchang County. Are there really pastries I haven't tried?" Saying that, he lowered his head to examine the cake. "Hmm, I've never seen this pastry before. It has a milky fragrance." "Shall I try it?" Xie Yu asked politely. Du Heng, still hoping for more cakes from Chu Heng, encouraged, "You have to try it." Seeing this, Xie Yu no longer held back, picked up a piece of fragrant milk cake and took a bite. His eyes widened with surprise and he quickly finished two or three bites. "It's really delicious, not too sweet and what's in the middle? I've never had anything like this before. Can I buy some?" While the two were talking, Chu Heng, who had been silent couldn't help but recall Ye – calm, gentle, and warm Ye. In his previous life, he had never tasted pastries made by Ye, let alone this new type of pastry. Chu Heng was deeply moved and he quickly finished a piece of cake. "brother Heng?" "Hmm?" When he heard the calls of the two, Chu Heng only snapped back to reality after a while. Unapologetically, he said, "Sorry, I got lost in thought." "brother Heng, Brother Yu is asking if these cakes were really made by Sister-in-law. Can we buy some?" Du Heng asked on behalf of Xie Yu. Xie Yu also looked at Chu Heng expectantly. Although he was not a picky eater he was a bit spoiled when it came to food. If he encountered a dish he liked, he wouldn't hesitate to indulge, otherwise, he would easily go hungry due to poor appetite. Originally, he wanted to ask if he could buy the recipe but he thought it wasn't appropriate. It would be better to take things slowly as he didn't want to introduce too many interests into the relationship between the two. Xie Yu wanted to build a good relationship with Chu Heng. Chu Heng, hearing this stood up and took out the last three pieces. "These fragrant milk cakes were indeed made by my wife. She does have plans to sell them but it seems the quantity is not large and they have a short shelf life."
