Chapter 681 - Visiting One's Parents

Princess Consort Jing looked at Xiaocao's glowing face and smiled, "Lass Xiaocao, you look so excited. Did you discover another business opportunity ah?"

"Hee hee, Lady Mother, you truly understand me too well! I want to use this event as an experiment! If the other noble young ladies are interested, then I'll establish this as a regular thing at the dessert shop. Who wouldn't find it fun to make some tasty desserts on her own while showing off to all of her friends and then eating her favorite desserts? " Yu Xiaocao grinned like a little fox who had eaten her fill.

"From the way you're describing it, even I'm interested! My children always turn up their noses at my culinary attempts. If I could truly make some desserts that are delicious, then they will definitely be extremely surprised!" Zhu Junya raised an eyebrow at her group of little monkeys.

Lu Jiayu made a face as he quietly mumbled, "The ingredients will all be prepared by someone else, so it's not hard for anyone to make something that tastes good, alright? If it were me, I'd also be able to do it!"

Yu Xiaocao nodded her head in assent, "Other than being a good event for the young noblewomen, it is also suitable for parents and children to participate together. The parents and children can work together to experience the joys of working with their own hands while teaching the kids that it's not easy for food to come to the table. This is very helpful in the teaching of their children."

"Third Maternal Aunt! I also want to participate, is that okay ah?" Lu Jiapei's mouth was greasy from all of the treats he had eaten. He raised his small plump hand in excitement.

Yu Xiaocao smiled as she stroked his head before using a handkerchief to help him wipe off the oils and crumbs from his face. She said in a gentle voice, "Of course you can, alright? At that time, Third Maternal Aunt will teach you how to make adorable animal crackers and all sorts of gummy candies in different shapes."

"Can I take all of the food I make ah?" Lu Jiapei was most concerned about this point!

"Of course ah! At that time, Pei'er can bring back all of the desserts and candies you make so you can give them to your friends. You can tell them that you made them yourself so they'll all be jealous ah!" Yu Xiaocao pinched the little fellow's plump cheek as she outlined what could happen.

Princess Consort Jing asked in a somewhat worried tone, "What if someone decides to be sneaky and brings along a chef to steal your methods? Wouldn't that be bad?"

"The most important part about making pastries is the ingredients and their ratios. All of these things will be prepared in advance by the shop's employees. Using chocolate as an example, we absolutely wouldn't teach them how to make chocolate starting from the cocoa beans. At that time, as long as the participants melt them and pour them into molds, they'll be able to make the right shapes. As for the small cookies and biscuits, it's the same! That being said, it's not as if the desserts at my shop are easy to make once you know the ingredients. It takes skill and not just anyone can do it. Lady Mother, there's no need for you to worry ah!" Yu Xiaocao patiently explained.

Only after hearing this did Princess Consort Jing smile again as she tapped Xiaocao's head with a finger, "Just what is in that little head of yours to be able to come up with such weird and novel ideas all the time?"

Zhu Junya also regarded her third younger sister-in-law with a gaze full of admiration and envy. One absolutely could not compare oneself to others. She could only think of using her third younger sister-in-law's pastries and delicious food to attract other people to her party. The other lady, however, saw a perfect business opportunity. It was no wonder that every business that came out of her hands was popular beyond measure. She clearly had a creative mind and money-making opportunities just spilled out of her!
