Chapter 398 Eating Cake
For the sake of peace talks, Gu Fengyue got up shortly after he returned home and went back to the palace. Today they were going to argue with those envoys... No, they were going to discuss how to provide support. When he got up, Song Chunlin was still lying in the bed with sleepy eyes. Gu Fengyue leaned over and kissed his forehead. When he heard him mutter in dissatisfaction, he chuckled and left.
Not long after Gu Fengyue left, Song Chunlin woke up. He thought he would have nothing to do today, but the emperor did not see Song Chunlin at the morning meeting for peace talks. He felt uneasy, so he decided to find something for this idle man to do.
So at noon, Song Chunlin came to the villa where the foreign envoys were temporarily staying and invited Altan to visit the capital together.
Altan didn't expect that he would have his own things to do today, and the person invited was actually Song Chunlin. He was a little confused about the thoughts of these Central Plains people. How could he say that he came to Dajing this time to snatch the other person's husband, but he didn't mind at all and even came to ask him to go shopping?
To be honest, Altan was actually very excited. When he entered the city yesterday, he was very curious about why those roadside shops could afford such a large piece of translucent glass. Is their glass craftsmanship very advanced?
With such doubts, Altan was led out of the street hand in hand by Song Chunlin. It was noon at this time, and Song Chunlin simply took him directly to Xingchengfang. Xingchengfang had just been expanded. Mrs. An Huaibo bought all the shops on both sides. After connecting them, several private rooms were added to specifically entertain those wives of officials who were in urgent need of privacy.
There were three people in Altan's group, but Song Chunlin was alone. This was what Altan couldn't understand the most. She was obviously the wife of the current Grand Marshal. Logically, shouldn't she be surrounded by people and servants when she went out? Why did she come out alone? And didn't Sima Gu mind him showing up in public?
As soon as Song Chunlin saw the expression on his face, he knew what he was thinking, but he was too lazy to explain and led his men straight to the cake shop.
After the expansion, the gate of Xingchengfang is wider, and even the gate uses a whole piece of transparent glass, making the space appear transparent and spacious.
Altan widened his eyes slightly. He really wanted to touch the door glass, but due to his status, he did nothing. Instead, the maid and guard following behind him, one on the left and one on the right, touched it hard.
Oh wow, it’s cold and hard. This thing should be very strong, right?
Their eyes were drawn to the glass, and they didn't notice the sweet smell of cake floating in the air at first.
"What's that smell? It smells so good." The maid was lively. She twitched her nose after smelling the scent, as if trying to find the source of the fragrance. Then they saw a whole glass cabinet full of cakes.
The exquisite and beautiful cream cakes are neatly placed on the counter, which is equipped with light strips that only require solar energy to light up. The soft light shines on the fruits, making the cakes look more tempting.
The maid and the guard couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Oh my god, such a beautiful thing is actually for eating?
Song Chunlin ordered some food for the few people like a familiar figure, including sweet and salty food, and the signature milk tea.
"Milk tea?" Altan asked curiously, "But tea made from cow's milk?"
Song Chunlin nodded: "That's right, hey, you guys have this thing too, right?"
Altan also nodded: "Yes, we drink a bowl of butter tea every morning on the grassland. It is made by cooking butter and milk together. I didn't know that you Han people also drink milk tea."
Song Chunlin raised a finger and shook it: "No, the milk tea we are talking about may not be the same as yours."
Isn't it? This time, Altan and the other two were confused. They cooked it with milk and tea leaves. Could it be because there was no ghee here?
As if to answer his doubts, the things Song Chunlin ordered were quickly served. The steward knew that he was entertaining a distinguished guest, so he put down the things and left the box.
The table was filled with a wide variety of pastries and snacks, some of which were not available on the counters outside. These were Song Chunlin's favorites, and every time he came, the housekeeper would specifically instruct the kitchen to make them.
Song Chunlin introduced the delicacies on the table to Altan. There were pizza sandwiches and scallion pork floss rolls, all of which were savory, while the egg tarts, cake towel rolls and cakes were sweet. The cake was a whole six-inch small cake, and Song Chunlin estimated that it was just right for the four of them.
Looking at the maids and guards still standing by, Song Chunlin waved to them and said, "Don't stand there like an idiot. There are no outsiders here. Sit down and eat together."
The maid pointed at herself in disbelief and asked, "Can we eat it too?"
Song Chunlin laughed: "Of course, why do you think I ordered so many things?"
Altan also smiled and asked them to sit down: "Mrs. Sima has said so, let's sit down and eat together, I'm hungry."
Hearing their master saying he was hungry, the two of them stopped being reserved and sat down together.
Song Chunlin was afraid that they would feel restrained, so he took the lead in cutting a piece of cake for each of them.
Seeing the exquisite and beautiful cake being cut into small pieces, several people felt that it was a waste of food. However, when they took a bite of the cake, the delicate and dense texture, as well as the rich milky aroma, made the three of them's eyes light up.
"It's delicious, and tastes like milk!" The maid's eyes sparkled when she ate the delicious food.
The guard's reaction was rather indifferent, probably because he didn't like sweet things. Altan's eyes were also bright, but not as exaggerated as the maid's.
"It's really delicious, and it looks very beautiful. I'm so ignorant that I've never seen the fruit above."
The fruit that Altan was talking about was strawberry. Currently, only a small number of farmers around the capital grow it. However, the quality of the ones they grow is naturally not as good as those in Song Chunlin's space, and even not as good as those grown by the Song family.
Song Chunlin cut him another small piece, which was full of strawberries.
"Here, finish this one and try something else. You haven't had lunch yet, right? Try something else too."
Without Song Chunlin's invitation, the other two people took the initiative to pick up two pieces of pastries that they all wanted to eat for their master, and by the way, they did not forget Song Chunlin, the financial sponsor.
After confirming that both of them had something on their plates, they both started to eat at the same time.
Song Chunlin was stunned by their actions and asked Altan in confusion: "Are these two twins?"
Altan shook his head: "No, they are not related."
That's amazing. With this level of tacit understanding, it's no wonder these two were sent to follow Altan.
Even his appetite is as amazing as his tacit understanding.
Altan's appetite was not as good as Song Chunlin's, Song Chunlin's appetite was not as good as the maid's, and the guard's appetite was as much as the three of them combined. Song Chunlin thought that this big table was very much, but he didn't expect that they all finished it in the end, and even the guard seemed not to be full.
Wow, that's scary. This guy's appetite is at least three times more than Song Chunsheng's during his puberty period.
