After serving Fen Lan a pot of tea and a plate of water chestnut cake, Duan Yixin walked to the backyard. Fen Lan sat on her seat and looked at the plate of water chestnut cake for a moment. She picked a piece and took a small bite. In the next second, her eyes widened in surprise.
Looking at the translucent water chestnut cake between her fingers, Fen Lan murmured in amazement, "Miss Duan is indeed full of surprises. This is the first time I have tasted this kind of cake. I wonder what ingredients are needed to make this cake."
After eating a piece of water chestnut cake, Fen Lan thought for a while and took out a clean handkerchief. Then she wrapped three pieces of water chestnut cake and kept them carefully. After that, she poured herself a cup of tea. As the tea slowly fills the cup, a nutty aroma with a hint of mint slowly fills the air.
