An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

After the proprietress finished speaking, she rushed out of the door in a few hurried steps, stood in the corridor and yelled at the ladies in the patio.

Her voice was high and urgent, and she spoke in a babble of local dialect at a rapid pace, as if she was afraid of wasting time. As she shouted, she gestured with her hands, probably asking someone to send the sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes as soon as possible.

From her movements and expressions, one could feel her eager and enthusiastic attitude, fearing that the guests would be waiting impatiently.

After a while, a maid came over very quickly. I guess the snacks were already prepared in the kitchen, because there were not one but two plates.

Xiao Man and Tang Shuang's eyes suddenly lit up again, twinkling like two little stars. They stared intently at the tray, their lips curled up slightly, as if they had already smelled the tempting aroma.

A plate of yellowish, thick cakes, cut into squares and coated with sugar sauce, must be the so-called sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes. The golden color tempts everyone's taste buds.

The other plate contained a thin, dark-gray pancake, cut into triangles, stacked in three or four layers, and arranged on the plate like a flower.

The first sniff of the dish was a feast for the eyes, eyes, and senses. The rich aroma permeated the air, making one's saliva water. The proprietress, with a satisfied smile on her face, said, "Since you've booked a private room, these two dishes are free. Feel free to eat them. If you're not full, there's more." Her voice was soft and friendly, making one feel right at home.

Then she pointed to the yellow dish and said, "Sugar-coated cakes are made of cassava flour mixed with sweet potatoes, with syrup added. They are sweet and sticky, and children like to eat them." There was a hint of pride in her tone, as if she was introducing her own amazing treasure.

Then he pointed to the black dish and said, "Don't be fooled by the color of this black one. It's made from fern root powder, which is very rare. They used a lot of oil to fry it. You can see that the edges are a little burnt. You can't find anything like this anywhere else. It tastes very delicious, but the texture is a little chewy. City people love it the most, and it's also easy to take with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Chunxi unceremoniously picked up a pair of chopsticks from the tray, picked up a piece of fern root cake, and took a bite, eating almost half of it.

The fern root pancake has a unique firmness that seems to capture the wildness of nature. The texture is dense and slightly chewy, and the tip of the tongue can taste the unique sweetness of the fern root, with a hint of herbal fragrance, as if the flavor of the wild nature is concentrated in this pancake.

Jing Chunxi liked it very much. His eyes narrowed slightly and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Is it sweet?" Tang Shuang asked impatiently, her eyes fixed on the sugar-coated cakes dripping with sugar. She was already ravenous. There was a hint of anxiety in her voice, as if she was afraid someone would snatch her favorite food away.

Jing Chunxi narrowed her eyes slightly, deliberately keeping the other person in suspense, and took a second bite of the fern root cake before answering, "It's delicious! But it's just a hint of sweetness. Come and try it." There was a hint of teasing in her voice, as if she was teasing Tang Shuang and Xiao Man.

The three of them had already grabbed their chopsticks, waiting impatiently. Tang Xing and Xiao Man were the first to reach for the glutinous rice cakes, each using their chopsticks. The two pairs of chopsticks clashed over the top piece. Tang Xing's chopsticks remained motionless, showing no sign of yielding. Xiao Man, utterly anxious, quickly shifted her chopsticks to grab a piece next to her.

He was a boy and thought that there was no way he could compete with the little girl.

Chuntao reached for the bracken cakes the young lady had mentioned and smiled, as if she believed in the young lady's recommendation.

One bite, the taste, hmm! Indeed! As expected!

Sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes are actually steamed cassava and sweet potatoes, then kneaded and shaped. They're first deep-fried until golden and crispy, then drizzled with sweet, savory sugar. The sugary coating melts instantly on your tongue, offering a sweet yet not greasy taste, with a rich caramel aroma that leaves you savoring every bite.

"Miss, please try this! This is definitely better than fern root powder! Look, the sugar and oil are even stretchable!" Xiao Man mumbled, his mouth already stuffed with his second sugar and oil cake. With this fragrant and soft sugar and oil cake, the dark fern root cake no longer held any appeal. He had no idea why Miss would be interested in that dark, tasteless thing!

Seeing Chuntao and Jing Chunxi pick up their chopsticks for the second time, again landing on the fern root cakes, Tang Shuang and Xiao Man's eyes lit up. Tang Shuang servilely helped the young lady move a stool and mumbled, "If you don't eat the sugar-coated cakes, Xiao Man and I will have to make all the cakes!" There was a hint of playfulness in her voice, as if she was declaring her "sovereignty."

The lady boss looked at them and smiled, "You see, no one has ever said that our pancakes and rice cakes are not delicious."

There was a hint of pride in her smile, and she continued, "See, I was right!" She stood aside with her hands behind her back, watching the guests eat with relish, her face full of satisfaction.

After Chuntao ate the second piece, she looked up and asked the proprietress: "How can we pack up these sugar-coated rice cakes? Won't the sugar and oil harden when we get home? And the rice cakes won't be crispy if we keep them for too long?" She was a little confused and worried about how to preserve these delicacies.

"Of course you can't pour oil on the food you take away. You have to put the sugar and oil in a bowl or a bamboo tube and take it back. Heat it over the fire yourself and pour it on the food. It will taste just as good." The proprietress said with a smile as she saw that they were enjoying their meal.

Now Chuntao finally felt relieved.

The proprietress also knew that the deal should be successful, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
