Chapter 179 Showcasing Culinary Skills

Huo Chenzhou said disdainfully, "This is my wife. Does she need you to make pastries for her? If she wants pastries, I can make them for her."

Sun Baojun seemed to have lost his mind; not only did he insist on following along, but he also wanted to make pastries himself. No matter how Huo Chenzhou tried to stop him, it was no use. He was acting as if he had a serious illness.

“I plan to eat it as a spring swallow later, but I’ll let you try it this time,” Sun Baojun said honestly.

Huo Chenzhou remained silent, not really buying it.

But Shen Zhixia found it very interesting after hearing this, and she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll let Chunyan try it first."

She really likes men who can cook. It would be wonderful if Sun Baojun could cook for Huo Chunyan in the future, and she hopes that the two of them can be together.

So she ate a pastry, and after taking just one bite, her expression turned strange, but out of politeness, she finished it anyway.

Sun Baojun asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Shen Zhixia: "..."

She found it hard to lie and say that the thing was delicious, so she asked tactfully, "Comrade Sun, what kind of filling is in this pastry?"

"This is a five-nut filling mooncake I made. I like five-nut filling mooncakes, so I thought I'd make a similar pastry," Sun Baojun said confidently.

"Of course, I think the regular five-nut filling is too ordinary, so I added chili and vinegar to make it sweet, spicy and sour. Isn't that creative?"

Shen Zhixia: "It's very creative, but please don't come up with this kind of idea next time."

"Huh?" Sun Baojun was taken aback.

Shen Zhixia said more tactfully, "Why don't you try it yourself?"

She actually quite likes five-nut mooncakes, as long as there are no candied fruit peels inside. Traditional five-nut mooncakes are quite delicious, but the ones made by Sun Baojun are really not good.

Not only did it contain a lot of candied fruit, but the taste was also very strange. It wasn't that it was bad, but it was very odd. It was spicy, sour, and sweet, and the flavors couldn't blend together. So eating it made me feel a bit... nauseous.

She looked at Sun Baojun with a complicated expression, feeling that he might be deliberately trying to mess with her.

Soon, he realized that Sun Baojun really didn't do it on purpose. Sun Baojun ate the pastries in big bites, finishing two in no time. He even gave a thumbs up and said happily, "My food is so delicious. This time, the pastries were a great success."

Shen Zhixia looked at him, and after confirming that Sun Baojun was telling the truth, she was speechless.

Sun Baojun really loves to eat.

Is his sense of taste different from others?

Sun Baojun thought it was delicious, so he invited Huo Chenzhou to eat with him. Huo Chenzhou didn't want to eat it at first, but he couldn't resist Sun Baojun's constant recommendation, so he finally tried it.

Then he vomited, saying bluntly, "It tastes awful!"

warrior.

Shen Zhixia lowered her head, her shoulders trembling, and she laughed silently.

It seems that most normal people would find it hard to eat.

Upon hearing this, Sun Baojun's face immediately fell: "Is it really that bad?"

Huo Chenzhou said, "It's not just a little unpalatable, it's extremely unpalatable. How dare you give this kind of thing to my wife? I'm telling you, you're not allowed to cook at my house anymore. I've banned it."

Sun Baojun had no choice but to slink away in the end.

Seeing his desolate figure, Shen Zhixia said helplessly, "Isn't it a bit too much for you to say that? I think Sun Baojun is really satisfied with the pastries he made."

Huo Chenzhou said, "I'm just telling the truth. The most important thing for a person is to know their own limitations. He needs to understand what he's doing. You should also stop eating such unpalatable food in the future. There's no need to give him face."

Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

A week later, Huo Chunyan returned.

As soon as she returned, she came to see Shen Zhixia's two babies and excitedly said, "The treatment for the eldest brother's leg is going very well. Although he still can't stand up, the doctor said it's only a matter of time before he can stand up. He also practices walking with crutches every week now, and he can take care of himself almost all the time. He will definitely be better in a while."

"That's good."

After Huo Chunyan returned, she moved back to her dormitory, but she came to Shen Zhixia's place every day to help take care of the children. Sun Baojun soon got the news and started coming over often, making Shen Zhixia's place very lively.

Huo Chenzhou initially had a lot of objections and wanted to get rid of Sun Baojun: "You come over every day and you'll disturb my wife."

Sun Baojun talks a lot, although he spends most of his time talking to Huo Chunyan, but he gets annoyed just listening to him.

Just as Sun Baojun was feeling wronged, Shen Zhixia took the initiative to say, "It's okay, I really like it when he comes. I get bored by myself, and his presence makes things more lively."

Since Shen Zhixia had spoken up, Huo Chenzhou didn't say anything more, so Sun Baojun continued to come over every day without any qualms.

Shen Zhixia was happy to see him come over. She thought Huo Chunyan and Sun Baojun were quite a good match, and it would be good if the two of them could be together.

Huo Chunyan didn't come that day. She arrived in the afternoon, her cheeks flushed, and she was carrying a basket.

"Sister-in-law, these are some pastries I brought for you. Eat them while they're hot, they're really delicious," Huo Chunyan said.

Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "Thank you, Chunyan. You came so late today just to make me pastries. I'm so lucky."

She opened the basket, and the pastries inside were freshly heated and still warm, but why did they look so familiar?

Huo Chunyan shook her head: "No, I went to Sun Baojun's house today."

Shen Zhixia was somewhat surprised. Although they had gotten along well during this time, she was still surprised that Huo Chunyan had gone to Sun Baojun's house.

Huo Chunyan glanced at her shyly and said, "It's not what you think. Today, some relatives came to visit Sun Baojun, and he had to cook, so he asked me to eat. It wasn't like I was alone with him."

Shen Zhixia understood. In this day and age, it was definitely not appropriate for a lone man and woman to be together, as it would easily attract gossip. So Sun Baojun used this method, which also allowed him to showcase his culinary skills in front of Huo Chunyan. This man was quite shrewd.

However, using one's cunning in these areas is not necessarily offensive.

But does Sun Baojun really have culinary skills?

The pastries he made last time were really hard to describe, but we can't dismiss him so quickly. What if he's good at other culinary skills?

However, Shen Zhixia looked at the pastries in front of her and suddenly realized something.

Isn't this pastry exactly the same as the one Sun Baojun made before?
