Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 284 - Chapter 284 284. There is nothing special about the fresh

Chapter 284: 284. There is nothing special about the fresh flower cake_1 Chapter 284: 284. There is nothing special about the fresh flower cake_1 Huahua truly was tempted.

In the past, she had made plenty of snacks and gourmet dishes–

The sizzling of grilled pork belly, its oily sound popping, with the overbearing aroma of frying oil permeating the entire house.

Butter, cheese, and cream sweetened the air as they expanded over the cake, surrounded by a high-calorie sweet fragrance…

However, as a seasoned food blogger, these could not shake her will!

She, a food blogger with both style and self-control, would never eat her own ingredients!

But the sugar-preserved peach blossoms before her eyes… they were different.

How so?

The fragrance of the peach blossoms was faint at first, becoming richer only after being kneaded. Yet the richness was not overpowering; rather, it was like being amidst a mountain of peach trees in bloom, with a spring breeze on your face and peach petals raining down gently, leisurely and comfortably.

The warm sunlight poured down, mingling in the air with the sweet scent of spring. If you opened your mouth, you could almost taste the tartness of young grass and the sweet beauty of a spring day–

As the petals were chewed between the lips and teeth, the soft yet resilient petals crumbled, and the granulated sugar quickly melted, then spread another kind of bittersweet sweetness throughout the mouth.

At that moment, Huahua felt her artistic cells stirred like never before. She opened her eyes, immediately wanting to express her emotions to the live streaming audience and showcase her talent!

Yet, what she saw was a barrage of ellipsis and a flurry of urgent inquiries in the comments–

[…]

[…]

[Is Huahua doing a food broadcast today?]

[Damn, I’m so tempted!]

[Are peach blossoms really that tasty?]

[How tasty can they actually be?]

[I’ve eaten them, and honestly, peach blossoms aren’t that good. If you don’t believe me, Huahua, you can mail me some peach blossoms, and I’ll criticize them for you in person]

Huahua: …

She was stunned.

Then she realized that she was holding a spoon in her right hand, her mouth still containing the sweet aftertaste of a peach blossom petal.

Just… just now… did she eat one?!!

She really wasn’t a food critic, no no no!

And what was the deal with eating the ingredients while making snacks?

Though she took the comedic route, she did not want to venture down the path of succumbing to her cravings!

At that moment, a bittersweet Huahua nonchalantly swallowed the rich and sweet peach blossom petal in her mouth and then smiled casually, “I was just tasting it, a tiny bit.”

“And you all know the kind of person I am; clearly, the peach blossom seduced me first.”

The more she talked, it seemed the less embarrassed she felt.

To prove her innocence, she once again scooped up a spoonful of peach blossom petals to show to the camera:

“Look, don’t these preserved peach blossom petals look beautiful? Really, the quality is just too good!”

“Fresh peach blossoms, the fragrance of spring, and this sweet, wonderful feeling… No wonder it’s 20 dollars for just 10 grams! Absolutely fantastic!”

As she spoke, saliva started involuntarily secreting in her mouth again. She swallowed reflexively, then looked at the peach blossom petals and then at the camera, hesitatingly saying, “Perhaps… should I taste it again and give you a detailed explanation?”

Slurp!

Saliva was about to burst forth!

Without waiting for feedback from the live stream, she swore she would only take this one bite–

Ah woo!

Wuu wuu wuu it’s really too delicious!!!

The live stream audience: …

So, under the watchful eyes of her audience, Huahua stuffed the spoonful of peach petals back into her mouth, slowly chewing, chewing…

It was just a casual shot, a random movement, yet as the viewers watched, they felt their own mouths fill with saliva, and in unison, they swallowed hard.

Only then did someone finally react, typing out a comment:

[What exactly does it taste like, tell us.]

Addicted to petals Huahua: I can’t, I can’t! If I open my mouth, all the fragrance will escape!

…

However, no matter how carefully she chewed that small mouthful of peach petals, she eventually swallowed them all down.

The sweetness of the sugar didn’t become cloying when mixed with the slight bitterness of the petals; instead, it created a layered flavor that was fragrant, sweet, yet not sickeningly sweet.

If I were to make fresh flower cakes…

Glancing at the comments, then at the bowl in her hand, she hesitated for a moment: “I didn’t quite get all the flavors just now, there’s a complexity in the petals that I need to savor. Let me taste them properly, and I’ll explain to you later.”

This time, she scooped up another spoonful.

…

An hour had passed.

Huahua’s live streaming time was also coming to a close.

But at that moment, looking at the empty bowl before her and the other untouched ingredients on the table, she was at a loss.

The live streaming room was silent.

To be honest, in her several years as an online content creator, she had never experienced such a toe-curlingly awkward situation!

But now, there were no fresh flowers left for the cakes.

What could she do now?

So, Huahua decided to go with a ‘it’s all or nothing’ attitude — things couldn’t get any more embarrassing, right?

Without hesitation, she picked up her little bowl, scraping out every last bit of peach petals and the juice they had released, and shoveling them into her mouth expertly.

Then she mumbled, “Fresh flower cakes are nothing special. It’s all about the ingredients.”

“Like the peach blossoms I got today, I bought them from a little store called ‘Tian Yuan Notes’ in Peach Forest’s market. They’re genuinely great. I swear, there’s absolutely no promotion, and if there is, I’ll gain 20 pounds!”

“I didn’t mean for it to happen today, it was the peach blossoms that started it. Try it if you don’t believe me!”

For an on-camera content creator, this curse wasn’t light. Besides, Huahua’s promotions had always been aboveboard, so everyone tended to trust her.

But…

You can swear all you want, but why did you have to scrape the bowl so clean? It was just a little bit of juice left.

At that moment, seeing the bowl which was used to rub the petals looking licked clean like a dog’s food bowl, fans who had been holding back couldn’t help but frantically search Peach Forest’s market, eventually flocking to the little store ‘Tian Yuan Notes’.

Meanwhile, some viewers persevered and watched Huahua’s live stream till the end–

In the end, the stubborn gourmet vlogger managed not to waste the prepared ingredients:

“Since I’m here, I’ll make a batch of baked buns for everyone.”

“Baked buns are filling, they taste fragrant, crisp, and flaky, they last long, and they’re much more affordable than fresh flower cakes.”

Goodness me!

This turn of events really opened the viewer’s eyes–you intended to make fresh flower cakes, couldn’t make them, and just let it go, but why throw shade on them?

Also, is it just me, or is it a little excessive for a food vlogger to run out of ingredients?

With their mouths tragically drooling and their stomachs growling, the viewers watched resentfully as Huahua ended the live stream and then swarmed Peach Forest.

But these fans who had stayed till the very end of the live stream clearly hadn’t realized that they had been backstabbed by their own content creator once again!

Because, that scattered stock which was still available, was swept up by Huahua the moment she ended the live stream!

The viewers had just taken a leisurely look around the store, scrutinizing the reviews, but when they turned back around, they discovered not a single petal was left!

That’s when everyone was sure this was 100% not a promotion.
