Uncle Zhao flung the door open, and sure enough, the burnt smell was even stronger.
Nan Yu was staring at the cookies on the baking sheet with a frown.
The chef had said the cooking time was fifteen to twenty minutes, but she chose eighteen minutes just to be on the safe side.
At first, everything was fine. While waiting, Nan Yu read a novel on her phone. But right as she was enjoying the novel, a faint smell of burnt food reached her nose.
By the time Nan Yu quickly opened the oven, it was too late.
The cookies weren’t completely burnt, but a few thin outer edges had turned completely black. The color that should have been light yellow with a hint of orange turned into orange-yellow with a hint of black.
It wasn’t a complete failure, but it certainly wasn’t a success either.
“Auntie, can I eat now?!”
Fei Yunjin noticed a black edge around the cookies on the baking sheet, though it looked a little strange, but he didn’t think much of it. He thought that it might just be a pattern or something.
Nan Yu, wearing gloves, took the lead and picked up a piece.
“It’s just a little burnt. No big deal!”
After saying that, she blew on it twice and put the cookie into her mouth.
Then, a second later, Nan Yu’s expression darkened.
How could it be so sweet!
Too much sugar? That shouldn’t be the case!
She had clearly followed the chef’s instructions.
But Nan Yu then realized that she had misunderstood.
The chef said to add 80 grams of sugar three times for a more even distribution.
But she…
She added 80 grams of sugar three times. It would be strange if it weren’t sweet.
Just as Fei Yunjin was about to reach for it, Nan Yu moved the baking tray back.
“Xiao Jin, Auntie will make another one. This one won’t do.”
Fei Yunjin shook her head.
“Auntie, I want to eat it! Didn’t you say we shouldn’t waste food?”
But this wasn’t food anymore. It was poison!
Nan Yu originally wanted to ask Uncle Zhao to persuade him, but she didn’t expect that Uncle Zhao also looked curious and expectant and wanted to try it.
Nan Yu: “…Forget it, you guys try it. Don’t eat a whole piece at once! Take a small bite, and spit it out immediately if you can’t handle it.”
She knew that they would be even more curious if she didn’t let them try it. After all, it was only a little sweet and wouldn’t kill people.
Fei Yunjin blew on the cookie a few times and, ignoring Nan Yu’s advice, stuffed it directly into his mouth. Because Nan Yu took into consideration that the person eating them was a child, the cookies were made very small, so it was no problem for him to eat one in one bite.
This was also one of the reasons why they burned; the smaller the cookies, the shorter the baking time.
But it was meaningless to pursue these issues now.
Nan Yu took out her mobile phone and took a picture of Fei Yunjin’s wrinkled face. Seeing him wanting to vomit but being too embarrassed to do so, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Seeing Fei Yunjin like this, Uncle Zhao, beside him, learned his lesson and took a small bite. He was immediately intoxicated by the cloying sweetness.
“Miss, your candy…”
Nan Yu nodded gravely, “I’ll do it again! Don’t worry, I’m definitely more experienced this time.”
Fei Yunjin and Uncle Zhao exchanged bewildered glances.
Fei Yunjin even wanted to say: Why not forget it?
He suddenly didn’t really want to eat his aunt’s homemade cookies anymore.
Now, whenever he thought of the cookies, the sweet taste seemed to still linger in his mouth.
“Sister Nan! Xiao Jin! Are the cookies ready?”
Li Yibai’s voice suddenly rang out.
Fei Yunjin had already told him that Nan Yu would make cookies today and that he would bring them to him to try.
But after waiting for his friend at home for a long time without any result, Li Yibai came over on his own.
He was a frequent visitor to the Nan family villa, so the servants naturally didn’t stop him and led him directly to the kitchen.
Good day, everyone!
