My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 610 - 206: Immortality

The soft pink color of the Victory Cake looks beautiful even on a plain wooden board, and aside from its already highly sought-after meaning, its appearance is very appealing.

There’s plenty of rice flour and red bean paste, enough to make at least twenty more batches of Victory Cake, so Du Xixi isn’t in a hurry to steam the first batch and starts making the next one. 2569 has figured out the process and quickly joins in.

With the combined efforts of a person and a robot, they use up all the rice flour and red bean paste by almost three o’clock. It’s undeniable that Du Xixi is excellent at controlling the ingredients, as the proportions of rice flour and red bean paste are just enough to run out.

Batches of Victory Cake are placed there, each shaped like a flower, with the characters "Victory" prominently in the center, adding a bit of sharpness at the end.

Du Xixi grows increasingly satisfied, admiring them for a while and ensuring the audience in the livestream has a clear view before asking 2569 to set up the steamer. She and 2569 carefully stack them up, one batch after another.

A total of twenty-six batches of Victory Cake arranged on the massive steamer is a truly spectacular sight. To ensure the cakes steam properly, this steamer was custom-designed. If there are no similar desserts needing steaming in the future, it might gather dust for a long time.

Victory Cakes don’t need to be steamed for too long—steaming for about twenty minutes on high heat is sufficient. So, after about ten minutes of steam fills Du Xixi’s view, she asks 2569 to check the doneness of the cakes.

Don’t ask why it’s 2569; it’s because 2569’s "eyes" aren’t blocked by the steam, allowing it to clearly see the state of the Victory Cakes.

Once they confirm that the cakes are done steaming, Du Xixi, wearing gloves, and 2569 work together to remove them from the steamer and place them on a large table, revealing the significant change in the cakes compared to before steaming.

Before steaming, although the Victory Cakes were pressed into solid pieces, they appeared sturdy, yet one could tell they were still powdery, and a firm pinch might revert them to their rice flour state.

But after steaming, they formed a cohesive whole, visibly cake-like. Du Xixi gently picks up a piece with chopsticks and shows it closer to the livestream, letting the viewers see the slight tremble in the cake.

"This cake consistency is what you’re aiming for. When you try it yourself, steam it a bit longer to avoid taking it out half-cooked," Du Xixi says with a playful wink, subtly hinting at an inside joke the loyal viewers in the livestream chat begin to laugh at.

[——Hehehe, is this our secret language with the lady? Hehehe.

——The person above sounds cheeky... but I want to laugh like this too! Hehehe...

——It’s like a nostalgic trip back in time when the lady would livestream daily, and Marshal often appeared, it was our happiest time.

——Happy times gone forever, leaving us with only these unspoken jokes.

——...Am I the only one new here today? I don’t get it. What’s the secret language?

——Don’t worry, I got hooked a few months ago by watching the lady’s livestream videos. I’m half-new, but I’ve picked up on the chat’s habits. Soon, someone will explain it to us as always.

——...Waiting for the representative to come out and explain the story behind the joke.

——+1!

...

——Here comes the representative... just kidding.

——...I’m the representative, here’s the explanation:

On a certain day, the lady was livestreaming, and a drunken Marshal sneaked into the kitchen, where they were focused on preparing ingredients, and secretly pulled out freshly steamed meat buns from a steamer, ones that were rather half-cooked.

——The summary above is pretty good, but missed one point. Not only did the Marshal pull them out, he stuffed them right into his mouth. Before the lady and 2569 could stop him, several buns from the steamer were already gone.
