Chapter 296 Jiangyan’s novel experience
Xu Ning's face was filled with a happy smile. She gently picked up the knife and cut into the cake. The soft cake was easily separated under the knife, revealing the tempting layers and colors inside.
Jiang Yan stood outside the crowd, quietly watching Xu Ning who was surrounded by everyone.
There was a faint smile in his eyes, as if he was appreciating a beautiful picture. This lively and joyful atmosphere was unfamiliar to him, but it made him yearn for it.
"Come, Ayan, come and try the cake." Old Mrs. Xu greeted warmly.
The Xu family had eaten cakes many times before, because Xu Ning often made various desserts on a whim in the past few years. Although he was not successful at first, he finally made delicious cakes after continuous attempts.
Nowadays, cake has become one of the common delicacies in the home.
For Jiang Yan, this was his first time tasting cake.
He took the cake, looked at its appearance curiously, then carefully scooped a piece with a spoon and put it into his mouth.
Instantly, a rich aroma of milk and fresh fruit spread across his tongue, a wonderful taste experience that surprised and delighted him.
Although Jiang Yan didn't like sweets very much, he found himself eating the whole cake without realizing it.
That feeling of satisfaction made him realize that sweets can be so delicious. This small cake brought him new feelings and experiences, and also gave him a new understanding of the beauty of life.
"That's exactly what it tastes like, Xu Ning. You can become a master now. Then you can open a custom shop in the mall and make a lot of money."
After eating a piece of cake, the Minister of Agriculture was filled with lingering aftertaste. He wanted to eat another piece, but Old Lady Xu stopped him: "Alright, you can only eat one piece after saying so many good things. It's time to eat soon. Just taste a little and eat the rest in the afternoon."
After Old Mrs. Xu distributed a piece of the cake to everyone, she asked the servants to put the rest in the freezer.
Nowadays, living conditions are better. We are no longer short of food and clothing as in the past, and there are many more types of food.
A few years ago, Xu Feng was greedy and ate a lot of all kinds of things at once. As a result, his stomach was upset and he got gastroenteritis. It took him half a month to recover.
From then on, Grandma Xu began to strictly control diet. No matter whether it was adults or children, they had to control the amount of food they ate.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture looked at Old Lady Xu pitifully and said coquettishly, "Xu Zhen, one more piece isn't too much for me." But Old Lady Xu was very principled, and no matter how the Grand Minister of Agriculture tried to persuade her, it was useless.
The servants brought by the Grand Minister of Agriculture and other servants sat in the corner silently eating cakes. Their eyes flashed with surprise from the moment they ate the cakes. The opportunity to come to the valley this time was obtained by the servants in the Grand Minister of Agriculture's mansion.
Especially those who have been here last year, they are well aware of the uniqueness of this delicacy and have secretly vowed in their hearts: they will come again (to grab it) next year!
Jiang Yi licked the cream on the corner of his mouth, savoring the sweet taste. The cake that Old Lady Xu cut for him was particularly large, which made him very satisfied.
When he finished eating, he couldn't help but turn around and look at his master Jiang Yan. To his surprise, Jiang Yan had already finished eating. However, recalling the novel and delicious taste in his mouth just now, Jiang Yi no longer felt strange.
"Xu Ning, now that you have made the juice, why not make milk tea?" Da Si Nong drank half a cup of cold juice in one breath, a satisfied smile on his face, and looked at Xu Ning with some anticipation.
"Old Qin, your stomach is a bottomless pit. You're not afraid of being full, but I feel tired." Xu Ning looked at him speechlessly, and the wrinkled old face of the Grand Minister of Agriculture showed a flattering smile.
"I'm just showing my support for you. Our Xu Ning's products must be top-notch, right?"
"Hahahahahahahahahaha" everyone was laughing so hard at the way the Minister of Agriculture was flattering him.
"Okay, it's time to eat, stop talking nonsense." Old Mrs. Xu asked everyone to sit down and chat for a while, and soon a huge table was brought out by the servants.
As more and more people came to eat, Xu Ning specially customized a table that could accommodate twenty people.
This table is not only large in size, but also unique in design. The tabletop is divided into two layers. The upper layer can be rotated to facilitate people to pick up food. The lower layer is fixed and is used to place tableware and other items.
Such a design is both practical and beautiful, fully reflecting the designer's ingenuity.
"Xu Ning, you actually had someone build this table." The Minister of Agriculture exclaimed.
"Of course not. I can make others suffer but not myself." Xu Ning smiled proudly and felt very satisfied with the new table.
"This table is very cleverly designed. Miss Xu, do you plan to use it in your store?" Jiang Yan tried turning the dial on it, looked at the hole in the middle of the table, and asked curiously, "Is it for pot protection?"
"Yes, in the winter you can put a pot inside to warm up soup or have hotpot." Xu Ning explained with a smile.
The weather in the south is damp and cold. The cooked food will get cold quickly after being served, and it is even more damp and cold under the table in the south. So in the past two years, their family couldn't help but stamp their feet to keep warm while eating.
But now it is no longer needed. She deliberately left a space for a stove under the table so that she can install the stove in winter. In this way, she no longer has to endure the cold and damp when eating.
Not only that, Xu Ning also specially designed a smoke exhaust pipe to ensure that no smoke is generated when the stove is in use. When the stove cage is closed, no smoke will be emitted. This not only keeps the indoor air fresh, but also provides a warm and comfortable dining environment.
Jiang Yan found it very interesting after listening to it. He said, “The wealthy families in the north all use braziers, which are burned in the house. Although they can bring a certain warmth, there will inevitably be smoke, which makes people feel uncomfortable. This stove design is really clever. It can provide warmth and avoid the smoke problem. It is really great.” He couldn't help but admire Xu Ning's creativity and thoughts.
"Do you have a design drawing for this table?" When Xu Ning heard Jiang Yan say this, he knew that he planned to use this table in the north.
"Yes, in addition to this table, it is actually suitable to be used as a warm wall in the north." Xu Ning said. In fact, in many places in the north, kangs were popularized by the Minister of Agriculture many years ago.
But it is different for powerful families like Jiang Yan. When guests come to the house, they can't ask them to sit on the kang, especially when discussing matters with a group of subordinates. It is too embarrassing to let them and the master sit on the kang, and the hierarchy does not allow it.
So even if there are kangs, they are only used occasionally, and most people still use braziers.
"Warm wall?" Jiang Yan was slightly stunned and very confused about this word.
Seeing that Jiang Yan was very interested in what she said about the warm wall, Xu Ning did not hesitate to talk to him. Before they knew it, the servants had served all the food and the two of them stopped.
