Kapitel 116: 097: Pull Shang Junyan into the water_2

Jiang Ruolan had someone to bring up the refreshments, and introduced to them, "A few days back, my mother went to watch the opera and mentioned a new dessert available there, called 'Jade and Emerald Rouge Su'. I've heard it's quite delicious, and I wanted to try it out. But I didn't fancy going out alone, so I decided to invite you all to try it with me."

"The name sure sounds appealing, it makes one curious to taste it." Su Xixian laughingly remarked, "We must thank Miss Jiang for her hospitality."

The food was served, and palm-sized desserts shaped like peonies, sat delicately on a plate of pristine white jade. The outer layer, gently cradling the dessert, was formed from jade-like petals with a rouge-red pistil at the center. When the server deftly used a silver knife to slice through the dessert, it unfolded layer by layer like a blooming peony – it really was splendid to look at.
