章 52: The Small Celebration

"Wow, with this many fruits, we were able to make a lot of sweet jams," exclaimed Liana happily, looking at baskets of wild berries in the kitchen.

Baking was everything to Liana. Helena's challenge to create budget-friendly yet delicious pastries sparked her determination to come up with affordable recipes that were equally tasty as the expensive cakes usually served at the Erast hotel.

"So, we'll make churros, shortbread, scones, and fruit cake," Liana said enthusiastically.

Ethan examined Liana's budget plan, which had slightly exceeded the original budget. Despite their efforts to save, Liana's desire to create a variety of pastries couldn't be contained.

"Liana, what if we stick to the budget given by Helena?" Ethan suggested.

"But it's just a slight increase. Can't Helena provide a little more budget?" Liana insisted.
