Jiang Tuge nodded, knowing that these two greedy cats would run in and ask, "This is not delicious, it's Poria Cake."

"Poria cake? What is this?" Si Jin was confused.

"How do you say this? This is a medicinal diet similar to cakes." After saying that, Jiang Tuge opened the lid of the pot and took out two pieces that were placed on the table to cool, "Here, eat!"

Hearing this, Si Shuo took the lead and threw a piece into his mouth. Jiang Tuge watched as his eyes changed from expectation to disappointment.

Looking at his expression, Jiang Tuge knew that the Poria Cake this time was a failure, "Si Shuo, if it doesn't taste good, don't eat it."

Si Shuo shook his head and ate all the Poria Cake. After a while, he continued, "Mother, is this Poria Cake really for patients?"

"Yeah, is it...is it really delicious?" Jiang Tuge looked at the things in the pot with some suspicion. Logically speaking, the aroma shouldn't be unpleasant.

"It's not unpalatable!" Si Shuo sighed, picked up the bowl and took a sip of water, then continued, "This pastry is too sweet. If the patient eats it, will it make it even more uncomfortable?"

sweet?
  Jiang Tuge carefully recalled the steps of making Poria Cake just now, yes!
  "Si Jin, what about you? Do you think it's sweet too?" Jiang Tuge continued to ask.

After waiting for a long time, Si Jin smiled and said, "Mother, it is indeed very sweet."

Jiang Tuge saw Si Jin hesitantly wondering whether he should continue eating, so he stepped forward and took it, "Don't eat it, this pastry is for patients. Maybe it will be just right at her place!"

"Just right?" There was doubt in Si Shuo's eyes. This Poria cake is so sweet that it makes people want to vomit. Even people who like sweets will not like to eat it.

…………

After a moment of silence, Jiang Tuge turned and returned to the kitchen. After thinking for a long time, she still didn't plan to make this Poria Cake again.

Si Shuo looked at Jiang Tuge's back and quietly stuck out his tongue. He followed closely and walked in. When he saw Jiang Tuge, he comforted her.

"Mom, don't be angry. Although the pastries you make are not delicious, your herbal tea is unique. Grandpa, the steward, said, don't force yourself if you are not good at it."

Jiang Tuge was stunned for a moment, "When did the steward tell you? Why didn't I know?"

"When our family held a banquet a few days ago, the steward grandpa sat next to me. He said, mother, you can do it, others can't, everyone can do it, but you can't." Si Shuo looked serious.

Jiang Tuge responded, probably guessing the situation when Manager Li said this. She grinned and smiled awkwardly, "Grandpa, the steward, is right. Mom can do things that others can't."

"As for this pastry..." Jiang Tuge looked down at the Poria cocos cake on the plate, "When your father comes back, let him help make it again!"

Si Shuo nodded in agreement, "Mom is right, my dad is good at cooking. With his help, the Poria Cake will definitely taste better."

In this way, mother and son sat in the yard waiting for Simu Bai to come back. And Jiang Tuge was like a watchman's stone, his eyes staring tightly outside.

When Simubai came back, he looked a little shocked at Jiang Tuge, "Jiang Tuge, what are you looking at?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tuge hurried to Si Mubai's side and shouted, "My husband, my best husband, you are finally back. You don't even know that I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Tuge's shouts frightened Si Mubai to the point where he almost thought she was crying in mourning. Si Shuo and Si Jin stood aside, smiling secretly.

Si Mubai felt a little headache after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "If anything happens, just tell me!"

"It's nothing!" Jiang Tuge showed a malicious smile, then went into the house and took out the prepared poria paste and put it on the table in the yard. "This is pastry, did you make it?" Simu Bai thought Jiang Tuge was "asking for credit" from him.

Jiang Tuge nodded and said honestly, "This is the Poria Cake I made, but I don't know why it's so sweet."

"Try it and see what needs improvement. Let's do it again."

"Sweet!" Si Mubai didn't believe it. It was just a pastry. Even if it was sweet, how could it be so sweet?
  He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and the next moment he coughed from the yard. What Jiang Tuge, this woman, said is indeed true.

Seeing him coughing badly, Jiang Tuge quickly handed over a glass of water, "I said it was sweet, but you still don't believe it. Si Mubai, good husband, can you help me?"

"Okay!" Si Mubai responded, then looked at Jiang Tuge and said, "The price of sugar is very expensive nowadays, you can leave these to me."

"You just need to tell me the steps, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Jiang Tuge smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, husband, I know you are the best."

Si Mubai looked at her and muttered in his heart repeatedly. If this happened in the past, she would definitely think that she disliked her.

"Um...are you angry?" After hesitating for a long time, Si Mubai asked.

Jiang Tuge was a little confused, "Angry? Why should I be angry? It's too late for me to thank you, husband! Don't worry, I'm not a petty person."

After that, Jiang Tuge handed the previously ground Poria powder and prepared flour to Simubai, "Thank you for your hard work, husband, what should I do with the ruined Poria cake?"

Looking at the "failure" he made, Jiang Tuge shook his head helplessly. Si Mubai didn't say much. He took the poria cake made by Jiang Tuge and went into the kitchen and started working.

Jiang Tuge followed him curiously. It turned out that Simubai cut the poria cakes into fine pieces and added some sugar to them to make steamed buns.

Soon, a pot of sugar buns was ready. With Simubai's processing and improvement, this bun tastes even more delicious.

Si Shuo took the bun and blew it to cool down before taking a bite. The original sweetness of the Poria Cake was just right at this moment. Si Jin watched Si Shuo take one bite after another and started eating too.

"Dad, the buns you make are so delicious. From now on, don't let mother cook." Si Jin said as he ate.

Si Mubai looked at the two children and laughed, "Okay, I won't let my mother cook in the future."

Hearing this, Jiang Tuge curled his lips. What she made was pretty good, just a little sweet.

While laughing, Simubai looked at Jiang Tuge and said, "These four buns are for you. Eat them quickly. They won't taste good after a while."

Jiang Tuge nodded, put one in his mouth and ate it with satisfaction, "Husband, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you eat it!"

"It's nothing, just eat!" Si Mubai was stunned for a moment. Ever since Jiang Tuge lost weight, she never ate much.

I just saw her eating steamed buns, she must like them very much. He's a grown man, so it's okay if he doesn't eat.

Jiang Tuge raised the corners of his lips, picked up a pretentious one and was about to put it in his mouth. Then, when Si Mubai wasn't paying attention, he stuffed the bun into his hand, "Husband, you eat too!"
