Chapter 34: Daisy Badge

Translator: 549690339

Outside the kitchen, inside the living room.

Song Hui and Su Zhi were quietly waiting for Qin Lang to finish cooking.

As time ticked away, the atmosphere in the living room gradually became awkward.

Su Zhi kept clenching her small hands and then releasing them, seemingly worried about Qin Lang who was working hard in the kitchen.

Her gaze wandered aimlessly around the living room, but she always avoided the place where Song Hui was sitting.

Meanwhile, Song Hui looked at her daughter several times, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.

After a long while, it turned into a deep sigh.

The moment she realised her daughter was missing yesterday, it felt as if the sky had fallen for her.

Fortunately, during her most panicked moment, her daughter was found by the young man named Qin Lang in the kitchen and hadn’t encountered any danger.

She thought that everything would be over once she calmed her daughter down, and there would be no more problems.

However, the impact of this runaway incident did not end as she hoped, but turned into her daughter’s tears and coldness, leaving her unsure of what to do, when she was busy again this morning.

As a Spirit Chef specializing in desserts, Song Hui had the ability to make delicious desserts.

In the past, a piece of dessert was enough to cheer her daughter up for a long time.

But this time, it seemed the desserts were not as effective.

Perhaps as Qin Lang said, it was all because she didn’t spend much time with her daughter, leaving her all alone.

But she is a Food Recommender, she has her own responsibilities, and there is the large Daisy Garden to manage.

Can she just abandon these responsibilities at will?

Song Hui rubbed her forehead, the woman who usually appeared gentle but firm, finally revealed a hint of helplessness and despair in front of her daughter.

Maybe in terms of being a mother, she wasn’t really successful.

Only when the footsteps came from the kitchen door did she manage to raise her head and look at Qin Lang who was carrying a tray of delicate desserts.

Along with Qin Lang’s footsteps, there came a strong aroma that Song Hui had never encountered before.

This smell uplifted her spirits a bit, temporarily pushing away her previous thoughts.

As a Food Recommender, she could tell a lot from this smell in an instant.

The smell of date paste, the unique scent of lard.

So he needed the pork fat to replace butter for making desserts?

And this unique smell… from frying?

A dessert made by frying?

For a moment, she became more expectant of the answer sheet Qin Lang was going to hand in.

The next moment, as Qin Lang placed the dessert tray in front of the mother and daughter, Song Hui saw the full picture of the dessert.

She unconsciously widened her eyes.

The layers of light pink and white petals were countless, intoxicating people like a blooming flower bud, and at the very center of the petals, the dark red date paste was constantly releasing a hint of heat, giving off a rich aroma of dates.

The green leaf-shaped dessert plate that Qin Lang had specifically chosen highlighted the tender color of the lotus seed paste even more.

Just from its appearance and the smell, Song Hui could roughly judge that this dessert wouldn’t disappoint.

This kind of dessert, made by such a young Spirit Chef?!

If not told, based solely on its appearance, she might even think it was a new work from a renowned dessert master.

“Wow!”

Su Zhi’s surprised shout brought Song Hui back from her shock.

She saw her daughter eagerly cradling a piece to taste, and then glanced at the young man standing nearby, her face revealing a hint of complexity.

Because Qin Lang had helped her find her daughter yesterday, she felt a sense of gratitude towards him.

When she learned that he had come to visit the Food Recommender to obtain a badge, Song Hui had hesitated.

Making a dish that would make Su Zhi happy was not only a way of lowering the difficulty level for Qin Lang, but also a chance to soften the relationship between mother and daughter.

Su Zhi was still young and, despite her pickiness about desserts under her mother’s influence, she was not as strict as her mother.

In addition, Song Hui could see that Su Zhi really liked Qin Lang.

Therefore, as long as the desserts made by Qin Lang were good enough, it was almost guaranteed that Su Zhi would become happy.

If Qin Lang passed the test, Su Zhi would be happy, and their mother-daughter relationship would have a chance to improve: three birds with one stone.

However, at this moment, Qin Lang’s culinary skills were a bit unexpected to her.

Elegantly, Song Hui gently pinched a piece of lotus seed paste and delicately nibbled the outermost crisp petal.

The thin crust had become crispy during the frying process, and with each chew, a subtle “crack” sound resonated between her lips and teeth.

The crust’s unique layered texture did not require much taste embellishment. The mere scent of the crust, flavorful without being greasy, was enough to make it an exquisite delicacy that amazed Song Hui.

If the mere outer crust was this impressive, what about the date paste filling in the heart of the flower?

Song Hui carefully bit into the brownish-red date paste filling inside, her face showed a look of surprise.

The date paste exposed at the opening of the petals, activated by hot oil, was full of a rich aroma, and also carried a hint of oiliness.

Although the date paste inside had not directly contacted the hot oil, it did come into contact with the lard that quickly seeped out of the crust during the frying process.

The aroma of lard combined with the sweet flavor of the date paste in the process.

One bite of date paste, two types of flavors.

These two flavors meld together with each chew, in just the right proportion.

Just tasting the outer layer that is slightly oily, just tasting the inner layer that is slightly dry.

Mixing the two, just right.

After slowly savoring a piece of lotus seed paste, the look on Song Hui’s face changed when she turned to Qin Lang.

“”What is this dessert called?” She asked softly.

“It’s called Lotus Seed Paste.” Qin Lang answered.

“Lotus seed paste, huh…” Looking at the pastries resembling lotus flowers blooming on the dessert plate, flawless in color, aroma, and taste, Song Hui nodded slightly, “That’s a good name.”

“Zhi Zhi, do you think this dessert should pass?”

“Hm?” Su Zhi had just finished her second piece, her hand reaching for the third piece of lotus seed paste stopped. She looked at Qin Lang, and after a moment, nodded vigorously, a smile on her face, “Yes!”

“Since Su Zhi thinks it’s okay, congratulations, you’ve passed.” Song Hui got up and walked to a room, quickly taking out a badge shimmering with a metallic sheen under the light, and handed it to Qin Lang, “This is the Daisy Badge.” “Thank you!” Qin Lang took the badge and examined it.

It was a copper badge, with the same outer shape and size as the Fish Scale Badge, but on the front, it was green like a garden lawn sprinkled with small daisies.

A golden ribbon diagonally divided the face of the badge into two, and a large daisy was intricately carved on the lower right, each petal etched out in detail.

At the bottom, there were decorations and “Dongxia City ? Daisy” engraved on the ribbon.

This was the exclusive badge of Food Recommender Song Hui, the Daisy Badge!
