Chapter 47 Song Rou asks for cake

Qin Zhi prepared a magic tool this time - a rechargeable egg beater, which had been fully charged in the space villa in advance.

With this magic tool, beating eggs and cream became extremely easy. Soon, the three cake bases were baked, and Qin Zhi turned them out of the molds of different sizes to cool. While they were cooling, he prepared the cream and fruits. After fixing the cake base with a pile driver, he evenly spread the cream, put the fruits on it, used a piping bag to make various flower shapes, and finally inserted cartoon props. A very delicate three-layer birthday cake was ready.

Song Yu and Liu Yue saw the cake making process with their own eyes and admired Qin Zhi even more. Mrs. Liu saw that the banquet time was almost up, so she said hello and left with Liu Yue and Song Yu.

Qin Zhi was alone in the small kitchen guarding the cake, and someone would come to get it later.

In the small garden of the Song Mansion, several maids with double buns surrounded a bright-looking girl in a green Confucian skirt, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The woman came all the way here after smelling the sweet smell in the air. When she followed the smell to the small kitchen, Qin Zhi was bored and making small cakes with the leftover scraps from the cake he had just made. In addition to the three-layer big cake on the big table, there were also plates of small cakes of different shapes, each of which was very delicate.

"What delicious food did you make?" The woman's sudden voice made Qin Zhi's hands tremble as he was piping flowers with a piping bag.

Qin Zhi didn't know who the person in front of him was, but the relationships within a wealthy family were complicated, and you never knew who might stab him in the back, so he better be careful.

Qin Zhi replied: "Making a cake."

The woman didn't seem to notice the coldness in Qin Zhi's words, and said expectantly, "Can I try a small piece? It smells so good, I came here just for the smell."

Qin Zhi handed her a plate of cake, and the maid helped her find a small silver spoon. The woman ate the cake with the small silver spoon, savoring it carefully as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.

Qin Zhi let down his guard a little. He thought that a person who loved food should not be a heinous person.

After a while, a maid in pink came running over and called the woman away.

Qin Zhi continued to tinker with her scraps out of boredom.

Soon, Mrs. Zhao, who was beside Madam Song, came with two maids to get the cake. Qin Zhi handed the cake on the plate to them to taste, and the three of them were flattered. They had seen how popular this cake was at Liu's house last time, but they didn't expect that they could actually taste it.

Mother Zhao said as she ate: "Madam just told me to entertain Miss Qin well. When the banquet starts, we should go to the front hall to eat before returning."

Qin Zhi hurriedly said, "Mother Zhao, Qin Zhi thanks Madam Song for her hospitality. But before I left today, I promised my mother to bring back a lamb that can produce milk for my aunt. I am afraid that if I go too late, there will be no one in the market. Please help me say hello to Madam Song."

Seeing that Qin Zhi looked serious and didn't seem to be shirking her duty, Zhao Mama told her maid Lu Ya to escort Qin Zhi out of the house and enthusiastically introduced her to a man named Liang in the West Market who had dairy goats for sale. If she told him the name of Zhao Mama from the Song Mansion, he would give her the lowest price. Qin Zhi thanked Zhao Mama and left the house with Lu Ya.

The Song Mansion's banquet hall was divided into a male and female area by a screen. At this moment, the male area was already toasting and drinking, and it was very lively. The ladies in the female area also started to eat, and some even drank fruit wine, which was quite interesting.

Mother Zhao and her maid carefully carried the cake to the high platform in the hall.

Many ladies had seen cakes at the birthday party of the old lady in the Liu residence, but they didn’t expect that there would be one today as well. Everyone was looking forward to getting a small piece to try.

Mr. Song and Mrs. Song held Song Yu in their arms and made a wish in front of the candles in front of the cake, and then Song Yu blew out the candles.

Mother Zhao came forward to cut the cake. The first plate was of course given to the birthday boy, followed by Old Lady Song and Old Lady Liu. Then, a small plate was given to each guest on the table. Fortunately, the cake Qin Zhi made was big, so there was just enough to share.

At the dinner table, a woman's eyes lit up when she saw the cake. She had just eaten it and knew how delicious it was. This woman was the one Qin Zhi had met in the kitchen just now. Her name was Song Rou. She was Song Yu's cousin.

Song Rou's father was a military commander. Many years ago, when Song Rou was still a baby girl in his arms, her father died on the battlefield against Japanese pirates, and her mother also died two years later. Since then, Song Rou was taken back to the Song Mansion and raised by Old Lady Song, who always loved her granddaughter like the apple of her eye. Later, when Madam Song entered the mansion, she loved her niece even more.

Song Rou loves gourmet food, so Zhao's mother specially gave her an extra plate of cake. Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Zhu Mingyang, the niece of Mrs. Song. She stared at Song Rou sinisterly, wishing she could stare a hole in her.

After dinner, the ladies accompanied the old lady to the theater to watch a play, while the young ladies went for a walk by the lake in the garden.

Song Rou ate more food today and took the maids to the lake to digest the food. It was autumn now, and the reeds by the lake were a beautiful sight, with white reed flowers floating in the breeze. One or two water birds were flying through the reeds.

Song Rou walked gently towards the reed marsh by the lake. The slope near the reed marsh was a little muddy. She stretched out her hand but still couldn't reach the reed flowers, so she turned around and walked back.

Suddenly, there was a plop.

Oh no, someone fell into the water.

When Song Rou heard the sound coming from the other side of the bend in the reed marsh, she immediately rushed over.

When Song Rou ran to the place where she fell into the water, there was no one on the shore. A woman was struggling in the water, floating up and down in the water, and it seemed that she could not hold on any longer.

Without thinking too much, Song Rou jumped into the water and rescued the woman, letting her lie flat on the ground. At this time, the woman was already unconscious.

One of the two maids ran back and brought back two blankets, while the other hurried to inform Madam Song.

Song Rou was soaked all over, so she quickly put on a blanket and asked the maid to cover the woman with it.

Song Rou brushed the hair in front of the woman's face, revealing her clear face. It turned out to be Zhu Mingyue, the granddaughter of Madam Song's eldest wife.

Soon, Zhu Mingyang came with a few sisters. When Zhu Mingyang saw this, he immediately ran over and hugged Zhu Mingyue and cried bitterly: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Who pushed you into the lake? Wake up and tell me who wants to kill you?"

Zhu Mingyang cried with such sincerity that the girls around her were moved by her and their eyes were red.

Zhu Mingyang turned to look at Song Rou again and accused: "Song Rou, did you push my sister into the lake? How could you be so mean? You look down on my sister, but you can't push her into the lake."

Song Rou was so angry at Zhu Mingyang's retort that she laughed and said, "Which eye of yours saw me push her into the lake? Also, it's not that I look down on her, Zhu Mingyue, it's that I look down on you, Zhu Mingyang."

Zhu Mingyang was about to continue to argue with her when he found that Mrs. Song came over with a doctor.
