Tang Jinghong glanced at Chu Qingzhi and, after a moment, smiled and asked, "What do we do next?"
Chu Qingzhi replied, "The next step is to wait until the cake base is baked before we can proceed."
It wasn't long before the hourglass ran out, and the cake base was ready.
Chu Qingzhi took out the cake base and placed it on the cutting board. She began to spread cream, decorate, and place fruits, doing all steps slowly while teaching Tang Jinghong alongside.
Tang Jinghong was a good student with strong learning abilities. After being told once or twice by Chu Qingzhi, he got the hang of it. Although the final cake he made was not as exquisite as Chu Qingzhi's, it was not far behind.
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "General Tang, you have a natural talent for being a pastry chef."
Looking at his own fruit cake, Tang Jinghong modestly said, "It's not that I have the talent, but you teach well."
