"Holy cow, isn’t this just too beautiful?"

The freshly fried Doodle Cakes had just been scooped out of the pot when Wei Qian and the others gathered around.

The intertwined pink and pale blue exterior, with delicate, clearly visible lines, looked just like neatly threaded silk on an embroidered ball, a truly pleasant sight.

Especially at the junction of the two types of dough, the slightly pinched creases resembled the intentional tightening of threads while weaving such an embroidered ball.

This shape, this appearance.

It’s just like the real thing.

No, even more real than the real thing!

"Awesome, Lin Xu, your pastry skills are getting more and more impressive."

Wei Qian exclaimed in admiration but didn’t rush to taste it.

After all, the Lady Boss was just outside, and he didn’t dare to sample it first.

And with the Doodle Cake looking so lifelike, I feel like biting into it might get my teeth tangled in all those threads, he thought. Better let someone else try first.

Lin Xu scooped out all the Doodle Cakes from the pot, put in a new batch to fry, and then walked outside carrying a whole plate of the finished ones.

No sooner had he stepped out of the kitchen than a series of exclamations erupted from outside.

Apparently, everyone was stunned by how beautiful the Doodle Cakes were.

They had encountered many surprises today: Dundun knew how to play pool; the video was a big hit; the topic had soared to number one on the Yanjing Region trending list; and they had tasted the exquisitely presented lotus cakes.

Zeng Xiaoqi, Dou Wenjing, Shu Yun, and Geng Lele had never expected that while they were discussing things in the meeting room that day, Dundun had actually been taking selfies in front of the camera the whole time.

Zeng Xiaoqi, in particular, regretted not checking the footage at the time. If I had only looked at it then, she thought, I wouldn’t have needed to make that feeding video.

Now that the behind-the-scenes video was out, the feeding video released the day before yesterday immediately turned from the main feature into a mere teaser.

Compared to how shocking this behind-the-scenes video was, it didn’t even qualify as a proper preview.

But this approach, where the main feature is weaker than the behind-the-scenes content, is actually quite captivating, Zeng Xiaoqi mused. If I had just released Dundun’s selfie video straight away, it might not have been as sensational as it is now.

"Stop getting emotional, Director Zeng! Hurry up and try this. This Doodle Cake is absolutely perfect!"

Dou Wenjing held a Doodle Cake on a small plate, snapping photos wildly with her phone.

The interwoven pale pink and light green colors gave off a delicate, refreshing vibe.

Aaah, what’s gotten into the boss today? Dou Wenjing wondered. Why is he making all these cute, adorable little snacks? They’re so pretty; how could we possibly bring ourselves to eat them?

Shen Baobao was the most pleasantly surprised. She placed a Doodle Cake on a small plate, took photos with her phone, and combined them with the pictures of the lotus cakes she had taken earlier into a nine-square grid, posting it to the Lin Ji’s Food topic:

"To celebrate hitting number one on the trending list, Boss Lin made two kinds of snacks: traditional Chinese lotus cakes and Doodle Cakes! What do you think of their appearance and presentation? Pretty decent, right?"

After she posted it, netizens were immediately captivated by the gorgeous-looking treats.

West 2nd Flag’s Brother Qiang: I get off work at 6 today, you absolutely have to save a few for me!

High Quality Human Waste: Off work? Brother Qiang, seriously, you’re not working overtime on the holiday, are you? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Lin Daiyu Pulling Down the Willow Branches Backwards: Can I try these at the store right now, Lady Boss?

Lost Roasted Whole Sheep: Boss Lin’s hands are truly skillful. It’s like Qiaoqiao’s mom opening the door for Qiaoqiao—skill taken to the extreme!

Me and Drugs & Gambling Sworn Enemies: Boss Lin, please teach us how to make these two snacks! I’ve been wanting to learn them. Please give us a tutorial so even us clumsy folks can give it a try!

Spring Breeze Cannot Blow You: I just finished watching Dundun taking selfies and haven’t even recovered yet, and now Boss Lin pulls out a big move too! Are you and your son planning to dominate our screens today, or what?

Invisible Chicken Wings: My god, are these Doodle Cakes really edible? They look even more perfect than handmade ones!

...

Everyone marveled at how beautifully these snacks were made.

「In the store.」

After everyone had finished taking photos and posting on their social media, they each picked up a Doodle Cake to hold.

The Doodle Cake was roughly the size of a ping-pong ball. Holding it in hand and observing it closely, the more one looked, the more it resembled an intricate ball woven from colorful threads.

There was still another batch of Doodle Cakes frying in the pot. Lin Xu didn’t linger and said to everyone,

"Eat them while they’re hot. I added lard to the pumpkin filling, so they won’t taste as good when they cool down."

And these are still just regular snacks, Lin Xu thought. If I were to make Awakening Lion Cakes, they’d probably have to be displayed in transparent glass boxes as souvenirs!

But an Awakening Lion Cake isn’t something I can tackle at my current skill level. I’d better wait for a chance to learn from Chef Qiu first.

After Lin Xu returned to the kitchen, Shen Baobao took a bite of the Doodle Cake in her hand.

The crispy, flaky, colorful outer skin, resembling layers of fine silk, was delightful. As she chewed, it was both fragrant and delicious, while the pumpkin filling inside was thick and semi-molten.

The filling exuded a rich pumpkin aroma, subtly infused with a milky fragrance, and was incredibly silky smooth.

There was no need to chew; with a gentle suck, the golden filling flowed into her mouth.

It was a little hot in her mouth, but that only enhanced the sweet flavor of the pumpkin.

"Wow, this pumpkin filling is incredibly delicious!"

Shen Baobao exclaimed in admiration.

It seems like everything my dearest Xu makes is just so tasty!

Zeng Xiaoqi, after taking a bite, also couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration,

"It’s truly delicious! It’s like a whole bowl of Pumpkin Soup has been condensed into this filling. Next time Boss Lin films a video, I’ll definitely get him to make Doodle Cakes."

If we hadn’t posted those pictures online, it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t make a video about it, she thought. But now that the hype is real, if we shoot a video of him making Doodle Cakes, the viewership would surely skyrocket!
