Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 307: Brown Sugar Peanut Cake

When the two of them returned, there was nothing left in the basket. However, there was something else.

“What’s this?”

Lu Sheng looked at it and raised her eyebrows.

Lu Xin smiled and said, “It’s delicious!”

Then, she opened her mouth to show Lu Sheng what she was biting.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Just eat it like this?”

Lu Jiang nodded. “Yes.”

Lu Sheng picked up a piece and bit into it. She realized that it was made of glutinous rice with brown sugar and peanut filling inside.

It actually tasted quite good.

Lu Xin said, “Aunt Yu said she’ll send some over again on Chinese New Year’s Eve.”

“Really?”

Lu Sheng smiled and gave two pieces to each of them.

She brewed a pot of tea, and took a sip with every piece. Soon, half the basket of the brown sugar peanut cakes was gone.

She counted and realized that there were only six pieces left. After some thought, she decided to leave two for Lu Ran. The remaining four pieces would be shared with the two children.

“It’s delicious!”

She sucked her fingers and sighed sincerely.

She did not expect Aunt Yu’s food to be so delicious.

“Lu Sheng!”

A familiar voice sounded outside the door.

Lu Sheng looked up and saw Mdm Lian walking in with a basket.

“Aunt Lian.”

Lu Sheng hurriedly stood up. “Quick, sit and drink a cup of hot tea.”

“I don’t like these.”

Mdm Lian waved her hand and passed the basket in her hand to her. “Your granny asked me to bring these for you. There are some brown sugar peanut cakes and other food inside. She said that you can try them.”

“Thank you!”

Lu Sheng smiled and received the basket. Seeing that Aunt Lian was about to leave, she hurriedly said, “Aunt Lian, wait.”

Aunt Lian looked at her, puzzled. Lu Sheng placed the basket on the table and entered the house. After a while, she came out with a basket.

“Bring some things back to try.”

When Mdm Lian saw the items in the basket, she hurriedly waved her hands. “Save them for Xiao Jiang and Xiao Xin.”

These items were not cheap and they were usually reluctant to buy them.

When she returned this time, she was shocked to see He Qin’s house suddenly being renovated.

She only knew after asking Lu Sheng’s grandma that it was Lu Sheng’s master who spent money to build the house.

Aunt Lian did not know who Lu Sheng’s master was, but she knew that he must be wealthy.

Lu Jiang said, “We still have a lot. Aunt Lian, bring them back for Da Tian to eat.”

Aunt Lian looked at Lu Sheng when she heard that. Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Ah Jiang didn’t lie. Moreover, I’m not a magnanimous person. If there aren’t enough items, I definitely won’t give them to you.”

Then, she winked at Aunt Lian playfully.

Aunt Lian smiled and took it shyly.

“Thank you, Lu Sheng.”

With this basket of dried fruits and pastries, their family did not need to spend money to buy these for the new year.

“Aunt, don’t forget to bring the basket back to me.”

Aunt Lian had already reached the entrance when Lu Sheng reminded her.

“I’ll send it back to you later.”

Aunt Lian turned back and smiled before leaving.

Lu Sheng opened the basket her granny gave her and realized that aside from the brown sugar peanut cakes, there was another type of food inside which was also made of glutinous rice flour.

She frowned slightly and hurriedly asked Lu Jiang, “Ah Jiang, does everyone make these during the new year?”

Lu Jiang shook his head. “I don’t know.”

He had only seen others eat it before, but he didn’t try it.

In Lu Sheng’s memory, the owner had not eaten it before as well.

Perhaps she had eaten it when she was young, but she did not have much of an impression of it.

She covered the items and planned to ask Lu Ran when he returned.
