“Yes, 1 do!”
The two little ones were pondering what to do next when they heard Liao Ning’s invitation to make mochis. Although they were unfamiliar with the concept of mochis, their curiosity compelled them to follow Liao Ning into the kitchen without hesitation.
Liao Ning carefully put on aprons and gloves for the two children before proceeding to demonstrate the process. “Take the rolled-out dough and place it in a round mold. Squeeze a layer of cream onto the dough in the groove. Add your favorite fruit or a bit of the Taro Paste filling that I made. Finally, wrap it into a circle and trim off any excess dough!”
Liao Nai and Mili observed attentively and earnestly. After Liao Ning finished
her demonstration, she promptly started making her own mochi. Liao Nai and Mili watched from the sidelines, and after a while, they seemed to have grasped the technique. They eagerly joined in, rolling their own dough.
Liao Ning spread the stir-fried glutinous rice noodles evenly on the cutting board and shaped the remaining dough into strips. Placing them on the board, she cut them into uniform pieces. She then rolled the dough into moderately thick circles.
Once the mochi crust was ready, Liao Ning and the two children worked together to create the mochis. Liao Ning placed the Taro Paste in the center of the cheese strips, molding it into the groove of the mochi crust. Then, she enveloped the Taro Paste ball with the mochi crust.
With Liao Ning and the two little ones’ combined efforts, they successfully made 13 mochis, each roughly the size of Liao Ning’s fist.
They prepared three flavors: mango, strawberry, and Taro Paste. Liao Ning selected the largest ones of each flavor and arranged them on a plate, presenting it in front of the camera. “These are for everyone in the live-stream. Please enjoy without hesitation.”
[Damn it, why am I not there? I really want to taste it!]
[Liao Ning, don’t be so selfish. Let the wolf cubs eat first, so we can experience it through sensory sharing mode!]
[That’s right! Liao Ning, let the wolf cubs try it quickly!]
Amused by the viewers’ enthusiastic comments, Liao Ning chuckled. “Alright, alright. I’ll let Nai Nai and Mili have a taste first!”
“Nai Nai, you and Mili can choose your own flavors. The folks in the live-stream will be longing for it.”
Upon hearing Liao Ning’s words, the two children, who had been eagerly awaiting their treats, immediately selected their preferred mochi and took a bite without hesitation.
As the children savored the mochi, a delightful aroma of cream and the sweet, refreshing taste of fruit filled the live-stream audience’s senses, captivating them with its allure.
[It’s delicious!]
[I definitely need to learn how to make mochi. I love the cream and fruit fragrance!]
[Liao Ning’s desserts are always a hit!]
[Liao Ning is truly amazing. I enjoy every dish she prepares!]
Liao Ning also indulged in a Taro Paste-flavored mochi, while the wolf cub handed a strawberry-flavored one to Butler Li.
Just as Liao Ning finished her last bite, Zhou Ling entered the room. “I’m back.”
As he stepped inside, the alluring scent of cream and fruit reached his nose, and he immediately knew that Liao Ning had once again created something delectable. “What tasty treat did you make today?”
“Young Uncle!” Mili rushed over and embraced him. ‘Young Aunt made mochi for Mili and Nai Nai today. It’s delicious!”
Zhou Ling affectionately ruffled her hair. “Really? Do I get a share?”
“Of course. Mili made strawberry flavor for Young Uncle and added extra strawberries!” Mili proudly announced.
“Mili and Nai Nai even assisted Young Aunt. Such thoughtful children!” Zhou Ling commended them warmly.
The wolf cub and Mili beamed with joy, their eyes forming crescent moons.
“Go wash your hands quickly. The two little ones are eagerly waiting for you to come back and taste their culinary creation!” Liao Ning urged him, her smile radiant.
Zhou Ling gazed at Liao Ning, her smile so bright and her demeanor so gentle, alongside the joyful cubs. In that moment, he felt the warmth of a true family for the first time. “Alright.”
As he took a bite of the mochi, the aroma of cream and the delightful sweetness of strawberries enveloped his palate. Once again, he couldn’t help but feel immense gratitude for having met Liao Ning and becoming her beloved partner..
