Chapter 677: Very Shocked
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the midst of a lively conversation, Gu Zi and Aunt Gao were interrupted by the bustling arrival of the young Gao Ming. He dashed towards them, nearly colliding with the corner of the table, but fearlessly continued on his mission. With an excited tone, he thrust something into his grandmother’s hands, “Grandma, grandma, you must try this cold dessert, it’s absolutely delicious!”
Aunt Gao was about to reprimand her grandson for his lack of decorum, but the sight of the chilled treat held at her lips gave her pause. A faint aroma of coconut and milk wafted from it, and she found herself unable to resist taking a bite, momentarily forgetting her intention to scold the boy.
The dessert was round and glutinous, coated in white coconut shavings. She had expected it to be overly sweet, and had already prepared a cup of tea to balance the sweetness. After all, a dessert’s flavor could be greatly diminished without a proper counterbalance.
To her surprise, the dessert was soft and chewy, with a refreshing taste. The filling was made of purple yam, and after a few chews, the rich sweetness of the yam filled her mouth, bringing a burst of pleasure to her taste buds. She swallowed, and the lingering fragrance made her put down her tea cup. This dessert didn’t need any tea to balance its flavor at all.
Young Gao Ming watched his grandmother’s enraptured expression with satisfaction. “Grandma, I told you, Aunt Gu Zi’s desserts are incredibly delicious!”
Aunt Gao nodded in agreement, unable to stop praising the dessert. “I’ve traveled north and south with your grandfather, and I thought I had tasted everything. But today, your little dessert has amazed my taste buds. What do you call this? You’re such a talented child.”
Gu Zi, accustomed to being praised for her culinary skills, smiled and replied, “This is a purple yam glutinous rice dumpling. I’ve made several fillings, including pumpkin, black sesame, and peanut. They’re all in the dessert box. If you like them, I can make more and bring them over next time.”
Aunt Gao, of course, did not refuse. The matter was happily settled, and Gu Zi was pulled into another conversation by Aunt Gao. They talked about the three children at home, and only then was Gu Zi able to leave the Gao residence. As she was about to enter the main gate, she saw Su Shen returning, followed by Lin Cheng.
Gu Zi and Su Shen brought Lin Cheng inside, and only then did Gu Zi understand what was going on. It turned out that Su Shen had been busy with the slaughterhouse in the city for the past few days and hadn’t been to the pig farm in the village. Lin Cheng had something to discuss, so he had taken leave from Jin Long and come over. The truck was needed at the pig farm, so he had taken the bus into the city.
