Today, Gu Zi had prepared a red bean coconut water chestnut cake at home and deemed it ready for serving.

She made her way to the kitchen and opened the glass box. The dessert inside had solidified into a firm pastry.

Turning the glass box upside down, she carefully removed the molded pastry and proceeded to slice it with a knife into diamond-shaped pieces. Placing them on two plates, she arranged them in the form of two flowers, while the remaining portions were stored in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness. This particular pastry was known to taste better when chilled.

“Thank you for your hard work. Enjoy the desserts I’ve made. Su Bing, Su Li, come and have some too,” she called out.

Su Li had already been eagerly waiting. Upon hearing his mother’s call, he hastened over.

Taking a piece of pastry, Su Li found it enchanting. Soft and supple, it resembled a layered steamed cake, featuring four white layers and three brownish-red layers, amounting to seven layers in total. The brownish-red layers were infused with abundant red beans, exuding a delightful fragrance.

Su Li eagerly took a bite. The coldness in his mouth offered a sticky yet not-too-adherent sensation. The fusion of red bean aroma with coconut delighted his taste buds.

Lin Cheng, Li Hua, and the others also tried the pastry, unanimously praising its incredible taste and lauding Gu Zi’s skill.

“Sister-in-law and Mother are very nimble. I, for one, don’t know how to make quilts or embroider,” Gu Zi remarked with a smile.

In this era, many women excelled in needlework, which was considered their forte.

Receiving these items had stirred quite an emotional chord within Gu Zi. Every stitch and thread symbolized the sincerity and blessings from her family. This sentiment was beyond monetary worth.

Blushing with pleasure at the praise, Li Hua responded, “Sister, you’re really eloquent. I enjoy listening to you.”

Gu Zi proposed, “Then, why don’t you all stay for dinner tonight? Brother and

Sister-in-law, help me prepare some food.”

She preemptively offered, hoping to spare them any embarrassment and make it harder for them to decline.

Lin Cheng and Li Hua headed to the kitchen to assist. One lit the fire while the other began to select the vegetables.

Observant as ever, Lin Hun noticed the low stack of firewood in the kitchen. He asked Gu Zi for a basket and went outside to collect more firewood.

Su Bing and Su Li eagerly pitched in, returning soon with a substantial basket brimming with dried branches.

Gu Zi took charge as the head chef in the bustling kitchen. The aroma of braised pork filled one pot, while chicken soup simmered gently in another. Adjacent to these, a pot sizzled with plum blossoms used for stir-frying vegetables.

“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
