Chapter 32: Delicious Food is Served

After soaking the pumpkin cakes in the water bucket for almost half an hour, Xu Niannian finally took them out.

The pumpkin cakes that had been soaked in creek water had a faint sheen on their surface, and the previously light blackened spots from frying had all but disappeared.

Xu Niannian's guess was correct; the creek water indeed had the effect of removing impurities from food.

She counted them, a total of sixty-two pieces, all of a moderate thickness.

Extending a finger, she pinched off a piece of a cake and tasted it.

The soft and glutinous texture melted in her mouth, the skin was crisp and, as she bit down, the tender insides flowed, the rich pumpkin flavor lingering between her teeth and lips.

The insides were as tender as steamed eggs, creamy in texture, and melted in the mouth upon entry.

Xu Niannian had never tasted such delectable pumpkin cakes before.
