Episode 21 recap: Huang Yi Lin participated in a food festival to learn how to make butter cake.
Today, a regular customer came to Huang Yi Lin's shop and expressed a desire to eat butter cake. This pastry is extremely complex to make and takes three days to prepare. Huang Yi Lin had tried before but couldn't make it properly. Zhang Baoqin happened to be in the shop and offered to make the butter cake. However, as she reached the kitchen door, she forgot what she was supposed to do. The regular customer couldn't help but sigh, thinking that they might never get to taste an authentic butter cake in this lifetime.
Ruo Hao, in search of old Macanese delicacies, visited Huang Yi Lin's shop and recognized her as the girl who had given him an umbrella on that day. He was delighted and invited Huang Yi Lin to participate in the food festival. Huang Yi Lin saw this as a great opportunity to shine at the festival and believed that butter cake would be the perfect choice. However, since she hadn't learned how to make it and Zhang Baoqin was ill, she had to choose another pastry.
Wang Ting Zhi remembered seeing the recipe for butter cake in Zhang Baoqin's notebook. Although half of the pages were soaked and unreadable, he could find a way to complete it. It was worth a try. Huang Yi Lin attempted to make it once but failed. She carefully compared her steps with the recipe and realized that she hadn't made any mistakes. She couldn't understand where the problem lay.
Wang Ting Zhi reminded Huang Yi Lin that it might be due to the water temperature and mixing time not being accurate. His words made Huang Yi Lin feel a bit guilty because the mixing process required four hours, but she had only mixed for three hours. Wang Ting Zhi emphasized that one should have a sense of awe and respect for food to truly savor its deliciousness. Seeing Huang Yi Lin sitting close to Ji Ming, he intentionally called Ji Ming over and taught him how to make the butter cake.
