Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 46: Taste Test

However, special times call for special treatment, it’s something there’s just no way around.

Jiang Ran put the lid on the steamer and then looked at Pei Yang, "Still want to bring it up?"

Pei Yang shook his head repeatedly, "No more, no more."

If he kept bringing it up, he wouldn’t be questioning Jiang Ran, but rather bringing shame upon himself.

Jiang Ran picked up the medical encyclopedia, sat down again, and continued reading.

After reading for a while, she lifted her head to look at Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan across from her, "Why are you staring at me? Is there writing on my face? Read more books!"

Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan exchanged a glance; their expressions both indescribable.

All these years, they had never seen Jiang Ran read books, and now she was telling them to read more.

But the two of them couldn’t argue back.

Who told Jiang Ran to have such an incredible memory now!

She could finish a book and recite it from memory.

And them?

They probably couldn’t even finish a tenth of a book. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

People really can’t be compared to each other!

Pei Yang sighed inwardly but still opened the cookbook in his hand.

The past two days of selling food had sparked Pei Yang’s interest in cooking.

If he could have Jiang Ran’s culinary skills, would he be able to cook and sell food himself in the future?

With this thought, Pei Yang felt that Jiang Ran was quite right; reading more books is beneficial.

The cake needed forty minutes to steam.

Fortunately, they now had a timer, otherwise just gauging the time would be difficult.

Halfway through, the sweet aroma of the cake wafted out.

The breeze carried the cake’s fragrance far away.

It was already mid-afternoon, the sun was shining warmly in the spring afternoon, and a gentle breeze blew—perfect for taking a leisurely stroll under the sun.

Elderly people were out for a walk alone, and there were also those taking their children along.

Whether it was the elderly or children, none could resist the allure of sweet treats.

Enticed by the sweet smell in the air, they came to the stall.

Seeing people approaching, Jiang Ran put down her book, stood up, and cheerfully answered their questions.

"What are you steaming? Why does it smell so sweet?"

"We’re steaming date cake; it’ll be ready in another twenty minutes."

"Date cake? Never had it, but it smells good. How much is it?"

Jiang Ran smiled warmly, "Fifty cents each. Don’t think it’s expensive; just wait and see the size of the cakes."

Hearing Jiang Ran’s words, those who were about to complain about the price kept their mouths shut.

The crowd quickly grew, making the place lively.

Chatting and talking, time flew by.

Twenty minutes felt like they passed in a blink.

Jiang Ran watched the time, then lifted the steamer lid.

As the lid was lifted, the sweet aroma became even more intense.

When the steam dispersed, everyone could see the appearance of the date cakes inside the steamer.

Each cake was served in a bowl and had risen well beyond the bowl’s rim.

The risen height surpassed the bowl’s original height.

From above, the date cake was round, split open in the middle, and its interior showed a reddish color.

On top, there were chunks of darker-colored items, which should be red dates.

Such a large date cake, sold for fifty cents each, was really not expensive.

Jiang Ran, using a cloth to hold the bowl, took one out and placed it on the cutting board.

With a few cuts from a knife, the date cake was sliced into numerous small square pieces.

"Everyone, give it a try. If it’s good, you can buy; if not, that’s fine too."

Upon hearing that they could try a sample, everyone eagerly stepped forward.
