I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

The car hadn't gone far from the dessert workshop when a faint aroma of butter still lingered in the car.

Chen Doudou sat up straight, clutching her little cookie box, as if she were holding some family heirloom.

"Today was really good."

After he finished speaking, he added seriously.

"It's edible, and you can even cook it yourself, which is great."

Lin Jia looked at him.

"Your assessment has basically summarized the direction of your life."

Chen Doudou nodded.

"right."

Zhao Lei sat in the front row, holding the small cake box he had just made, looking very satisfied.

"Dear viewers, thankfully, nothing serious happened during today's job simulation."

He lowered his voice, as if announcing a victory to the whole world.

"Relaxing, healing, warming, and delicious."

Bai Sisi glanced at him.

"Don't make any promises too soon."

Zhao Lei immediately covered his mouth.

"I'll shut up."

Shen Ling'er sat next to Yang Mi, holding her small cookie box in her arms, looking down at the little rabbit pattern on the box.

She suddenly looked up and glanced at Zhao Lei.

"You've become smarter now, but you're still not steady enough."

Zhao Lei: "..."

"Teacher Ling'er, I've already shut up."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"You've got your movements steady enough to shut up, but your expression hasn't."

Zhao Lei subconsciously touched his face.

"What's wrong with my expression?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously:

"You're like someone who just got a perfect score on a test and is afraid the teacher will suddenly change the paper the next second."

Everyone on the bus burst into laughter.

Zhao Lei held his forehead.

"Teacher Ling'er, your analogy is really sharp."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Because that's really how you are."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, Zhao Lei has been described so accurately."

"Just got a perfect score on a test and is afraid of having to grade it, it's too similar."

"Ling'er's mouth is so sharp; she's usually so arrogant, but she can make your heart race with all her praise."

"Although today was easy, I still want to see Ling'er show off her skills again."

Just as I was laughing, the driver in front suddenly lightly stepped on the brakes.

The car slowed down.

The director looked up at the road ahead and casually asked a question.

"Why is there a traffic jam up ahead?"

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror.

"It seems to be the delivery truck from that cake shop by the roadside. The box wasn't secured properly, and one of the boxes fell out."

Just as Zhao Lei was about to say that it was no big deal, a soft voice asking for help in English suddenly came from the side.

Outside the car window, a young employee at a small dessert shop on the roadside was looking flustered and helpless.

In front of her was a transparent cake box containing a finished strawberry mousse cake, but a small piece of cream on the side of the cake had collapsed, and the lid of the box was also bent at one corner.

The clerk was clearly just about to deliver the goods when a small mishap occurred.

She frowned as she checked the time, almost bursting into tears.

The translator glanced at it and said in a low voice:

"It seems to be a birthday cake for a nearby hotel. We were about to deliver it there when the box tilted slightly as we turned the corner."

Bai Sisi looked at the cake and said softly:

"If this is sent over, the customer will be able to tell at a glance."

Chef Tang subconsciously looked over as well; as a pastry chef, she was very sensitive to this situation.

"The cream only collapsed on one side, so it wasn't completely spoiled, but it definitely affected the appearance."

She paused for a moment, then said, "If you have spare cream, you can touch up the sides and straighten the strawberries again."

Just as the director was about to tell the driver to keep going, Shen Ling'er stopped and started looking out the window.

Yang Mi lowered his head and asked her:

"Ling'er, what's wrong?"

Shen Ling'er watched for a while, then spoke:

"The cake wasn't spoiled too much, it was just a little crushed."

Bai Sisi followed her gaze.

"You noticed?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"The cream slid outwards from the right, which means that the problem wasn't with the overall temperature, but rather that the right side was under greater pressure."

She paused for a moment, then continued:

"The strawberries were only slightly off-center and didn't fall apart, which means the cake itself was whipped and set properly. The biggest problem now isn't that the cake is ruined, but that the cream has shifted due to the box being tilted."

Zhao Lei was stunned.

"You could even tell that?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him and said:

"Desserts, like people, show what they've been through on their faces."

She pointed to the cake box.

"It's telling you that it was placed at an angle for a while."

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

"??? A cake can tattle?"

"Soft things are the most likely to tattle; Teacher Ling'er's line is absolutely brilliant."

"She can even tell where the cream is flowing?"

"This isn't about looking at a cake, it's about looking at an accident scene."

"The influence of the dessert workshop was still there, so she did a live review on the spot."

Zhao Lei has already entered a familiar state of shock.

"No, Teacher Ling'er, did you already memorize everything you learned in the workshop?"

Shen Ling'er nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"One look is enough."

"It's not complicated to begin with."

Zhao Lei: "..."

"When you say that, it really makes me wonder if I'm just too stupid."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"It's not that you're stupid, it's that you always like to shout first and then look."

Zhao Lei fell silent in an instant.

"...That makes sense."

At this moment, the shop assistant on the roadside was still anxiously making a phone call to a customer, holding a spare bag of cream in his hand, but clearly didn't know how to replenish it.

Master Tang glanced at it and whispered:

"In this situation, it's best to fix the box first, then the cream. If the box is still crooked, no amount of repair will prevent it from slipping."

Shen Ling'er suddenly spoke:

"You could have her flatten the bottom of the box a little first, and then fix the sides."

Master Tang was taken aback.

"Yes, first stabilize your center of gravity."

Zhao Lei immediately turned his head.

"Teacher Ling'er, you even know the order in which you trim a cake?"

Shen Ling'er said:

"Make the cake stand up first, then make it look good."

"If it's still tilted, the added cream won't be satisfied."

Everyone: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed so hard she steadied herself on the chair.

"The idea that cream can accept defeat is so cute."

The comments section was already bursting with laughter.

"Cream: I disagree!"

"Stand firm first, then look good; this isn't a dessert, it's a philosophy of life."

"Ling'er's speech is becoming more and more complete; it's really comforting."

"She doesn't just see the problems; she also knows how to fix them."

Hearing the commotion outside, the director suddenly said to the driver:

"Stop for a moment, let's see if we can help."

The driver pulled the car over to the side of the road.

The staff quickly went down to communicate. The shop assistant became even more flustered when she saw the program crew coming over.

When the translator explained the situation, the shop assistant was stunned at first, and then quickly thanked him.

Mr. Tang also got out of the car, stood by and watched for a while, and then gave her a very simple solution.

"First, flatten the box, then add a little bit of cream on the right side, but don't add too much."

"Don't pile the strawberries up again, just press them down along the original curve."

The shop assistant nodded repeatedly and did as she was told.

But once I got the cream, it was still a bit soft, making it a little difficult to patch up.

Shen Ling'er stood by the carriage door, watched for a while, and suddenly said to Yang Mi:

"Mom, can I go downstairs and take a look?"

Yang Mi thought for a moment.

"Yes, but you have to hold your mom's hand."

Shen Ling'er nodded, and when she got out of the car, she didn't forget to hold onto her little cookie box.

She walked over to the dessert box, but instead of touching the cake directly, she glanced down at the pressure points on the box.

Then she pointed to the bottom of the box.

"Add a little more padding here."

The shop assistant paused for a moment, and the translator quickly explained.

Shen Ling'er then said:

"It's not about raising it, it's about filling in the gap on the right side."

"Now the cream will rise to the bottom, so when you're filling it, you can't just focus on the collapsed part. You need to level the box first, and then slowly smooth the cream."

After the shop assistant understood, he did as instructed.

This time, the cream held its ground.

When she looked up, her eyes lit up.

He gave Shen Ling'er a thumbs up repeatedly.

Zhao Lei, watching from the side, was almost bursting out laughing.

"Dear viewers, Teacher Ling'er is temporarily taking on another part-time job today."

"Occupational scope: Dessert consultant."

"Focus on mastering the basics of cake making."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"You did a good job summarizing today."

Zhao Lei stood up straight instantly.

"Really?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"It's more effective than when it's quiet."

Zhao Lei: "..."

"Teacher Ling'er, the way you praise me makes it hard for me to be obviously happy."

Shen Ling'er said seriously:

"Then don't make it too obvious."

The whole bus burst into laughter again.

The shop assistant finally fixed the cake and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She put the cake back into the insulated box and made a point of thanking Shen Ling'er and Chef Tang again before leaving.

The translator relayed the story with a smile.

"She said you guys were a huge help; she was almost ready to redo it."

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment and said:

"Take care of what you can first."

"Making a cake is like doing anything else; don't rush to condemn it."

"Sometimes it's just that the angle is a little off, it doesn't mean the whole thing is broken."

After listening, Zhao Lei suddenly fell silent.

After two seconds, he said softly:

"I need to write this down today."

"It seems like it can be used for more than just cakes."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"You finally understood the key point this time."

Zhao Lei nodded, very seriously.

"Understood."

The comments section fell silent for a moment.

Then it completely flooded the screen.

That's a really powerful statement.

"Don't rush to sentence him to death, it really works."

"Although Ling'er is arrogant, she always says things that are very prudent."

"She's not exaggerating; she's teaching you how to get things done."

After the car was restarted, the atmosphere became more relaxed than before.

Chen Doudou held the cookie box, lost in thought.

"Ling'er, can you tell just by looking at anything?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"No, not exactly."

"First, check if it's flat, smooth, and where it's not right."

"Many things don't suddenly break down; they just tilt first."

"Once you see the crooked part, you'll know how to fix it."

Chen Doudou nodded, as if she had understood some profound life lesson.

"oh."

"Then I'll check whether it's fair or not first from now on."

Lin Jia couldn't help laughing.

"Just check if the rice is level first."

Chen Doudou immediately took it seriously.

"The rice should be level, and the cake should be level too."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Lei finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned to the camera, whispering his feelings:

"Dear viewers, I thought that Teacher Ling'er would only make cookies, cream puffs and small cakes during today's dessert workshop."

"As a result, she could even figure out that a birthday cake was crooked, and she even managed to fix it."

"And what's most frightening is that she spoke very completely and clearly, as if she really knew the subject."

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"I already knew a little bit about it."

Zhao Lei choked.

"...You call this a little bit?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Because there's still so much I haven't finished learning."

Zhao Lei fell completely silent.

Bai Sisi watched from the side, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Once she said that, no one else really had a chance to respond."

Yang Mi patted Shen Ling'er's head, his eyes filled with tenderness and pride.

"Ling'er was great today."

Shen Ling'er leaned closer, her voice softening.

"Because the cake wasn't completely spoiled to begin with."

Yang Mi smiled.

"Yes, you're right."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei couldn't help but whisper a reply:

"Dear viewers, the real conclusion has been reached today."

"It's not the cake that complains, it's Teacher Ling'er who listens to the complaints."

The whole car burst into laughter again.

Outside the car window, the street slowly receded into the distance.

Inside the car, cookie boxes, cake boxes, laughter, and the aroma of butter mingled together, quietly making this relaxing yet absurd dessert experience a trending topic on the live stream.

And everyone knows that.

There were no major storms, no thieves to catch, and no complicated cases today.

But Shen Ling'er remained quietly seated, casually glancing around and casually pointing out the smallest deviation in a dessert workshop to everyone.

That's what's most convincing.
