Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Making Pastries (1)_1

Situ Xin handed pastries to Baibai while saying, "It’s a good thing no one can see how gluttonous you look, or it would be really embarrassing." Baibai took the pastries from Situ Xin and focused on stuffing them into its mouth, completely ignoring what Situ Xin was saying to it.

Old Master Xiao was very familiar with Baibai, so he was quite accustomed to the scene of Baibai eating pastries. However, the Xiao Family’s servants were shocked upon seeing Baibai, a Tiger, deftly extending its paw and stuffing pastries into its mouth, their mouths agape wide enough to fit an egg.

The fact that this Tiger loved pastries was strange enough. Unexpectedly, it could also use its paws to eat pastries just like a human.

"This pastry is really delicious." Situ Xin tasted a red bean pastry and, although the red bean filling was not produced in her magical space, making the flavor slightly lacking, fortunately, there was not too much bean paste, so it didn’t affect the overall taste much.

At that moment, Situ Xin once again felt validated by her foresight in switching all the flour in the kitchen with that from her space. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to enjoy such delicious pastries.

"Today’s pastries are not bad, better than the ones I had on my previous visits," Old Master Xiao also very satisfiedly savored the pastries in his mouth, thinking to himself, "Is it because I’m in a particularly good mood today, or is it because Xiao Xin is here that I find today’s food especially tasty?" Little did he know, today’s food was so delicious because Situ Xin had secretly swapped in ingredients from her space.

After trying the Xiao Family’s local specialty treats, Situ Xin couldn’t help but praise them. She was surprised to find that these local specialty treats of the Xiao Family were not recorded on the Jade Token in her mind.

Knowing this, Baibai thought about how it wouldn’t get to eat such tasty pastries once they returned home and started urging Situ Xin to go to the kitchen and learn from the pastry chef.

Situ Xin had this intention as well, as she also liked the local specialties of the Xiao Family.

The next day, Situ Xin started bringing Baibai to the kitchen daily to report. Aside from switching the kitchen’s ingredients with her own from the space, she was learning to make the Xiao Family’s local pastries from the pastry chef.

Originally, when Situ Xin talked about this to Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao, both of them outright rejected the idea. Situ Xin was not only the treasure of the Situ Family and Loo Family, but she was also the darling of this grandfather and grandson duo.

They felt that learning to make pastries was a tiring task. Looking at Situ Xin’s delicate arms and legs, they couldn’t bear the thought of letting their darling engage in such tedious work in the kitchen.

In the end, it was only after Situ Xin pulled on Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli’s arms, coquettishly pleading with them, promising to personally make pastries for them once she learned, that they agreed. In fact, as soon as Situ Xin started her coy act with Xiao Muli, he became utterly disoriented. And if one looked closely at Xiao Muli, they would notice his ears turning red.

Learning to make pastries, or rather learning anything, is not an easy or effortless task, especially when it comes to kneading dough, which is the most important part of pastry making. When the pastry chef learned he had to teach Situ Xin, the valued guest of the Xiao Family, he was slightly distracted by her small stature and murmured to himself, "With that tiny frame, learning to make pastries seems a bit far-fetched." But due to the orders from above, the pastry chef dared not slack off.

The pastry chef started out teaching Situ Xin earnestly because he feared that if he didn’t put in his full effort, blame might come from above, which he would not be able to handle. Furthermore, the pastry chef thought to himself, "I’ll just focus on teaching thoroughly; it is not my concern what level Miss Situ will reach."

The pastry chef truly believed that Situ Xin would not succeed.

However, after Situ Xin followed the pastry chef and made her first batch of pastries, the pastry chef tasted them, and after finishing, he stood there in astonishment, holding the half-eaten pastry.

Seeing the pastry chef’s expression, Situ Xin asked, "Is the pastry too horrible to eat?" Though she asked this, she wondered to herself, "That can’t be right; I precisely followed the chef’s instructions." She thought that if she could make delicious dishes simply by following the recipes on the Jade Token, why wouldn’t the pastries, made under the chef’s guidance, taste right?

"No, it’s not that at all, Miss Situ. It’s just that the pastries you made are too delicious. I didn’t expect you to make such tasty pastries; the flavor of your pastries is even better than mine." Seeing Situ Xin’s natural talent for making pastries, the pastry chef taught her with even more enthusiasm and willingness to share all his knowledge.

Situ Xin was a quick learner, mastering things after just a single demonstration. Thus, within two days, she had learned all the skills of the pastry chef, leaving him marveling inwardly after she mastered the craft, "There really are geniuses in this world."

Situ Xin had previously promised Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao that she would personally make pastries for them after she learned how, and now that she had completed her learning, she had her own promise to fulfill.

"Baibai, you’ve eaten so much, it’s time to rest a bit. Keep eating like this, and you might not be able to fly later," Situ Xin said helplessly as she watched Baibai, who hadn’t stopped eating as she made the pastries.

"Master, don’t worry, even if Baibai eats a lot, I can still fly carrying you. Besides, this is hardly enough to fill the gaps between my teeth," Baibai responded, its mouth crammed with food. If Baibai were not communicating with Situ Xin using Divine Sense, she really would not have been able to understand what the creature was saying.

Situ Xin made two plates of pastries each, tailored to the tastes of Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao, as she remembered them.
