Chapter 2865: Chapter 55: Day Four (6)

Ben Lucas said in a calm tone, "There’s an event at the military that involves making desserts, and as a Director, I also have to participate."

His son’s voice was stern with a hint of disdain, but despite that, Lily still found it strange.

Why would a place like the military, which is 99% men, require soldiers to make desserts?

However, Lily Redington had long been used to not overly questioning her son’s military affairs, so she didn’t ask much, but very carefully explained the steps to make a strawberry cream cake to her son.

When Lily was in Europe, she loved baking cakes, often making them for Abbie and Lulu when they were young, and later, when they returned home, she made them for Ben Lucas.

The strawberry cream cake she made left a deep impression on her eldest son, so much so that even the young Jordan Lancaster, who didn’t like sweets, couldn’t refuse.

And now, Ben Lucas didn’t know why, but when he stood in the kitchen wanting to do something to change Harrison Lucas’s opinion about his culinary skills.

He unintentionally picked up the cell phone and dialed out.

Lily Redington spoke quite a bit, and finally didn’t forget to remind, "You remember the technique for beating the egg whites and folding the batter, right? You can’t make mistakes, it’s the key to making cream strawberry cake. If any part is done poorly, it’ll fail..."

"I remember everything." Ben Lucas, with his extraordinary intelligence, remembers everything.

Just like last night’s late-night meal, the man who had never seriously cooked before could follow the recipe and make a dish that was colorful, fragrant, and delicious.

If it weren’t for not finding the food scale last night, making it difficult to control the quantity of ingredients, even the taste would have been perfect.

After hanging up the phone, Ben Lucas personally drove out to the imported supermarket near the military compound to buy all the necessary supplies.

After buying the materials needed for making Western cakes and ready to check out, the man suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Remembering Harrison’s fragile body and her flushed face from last night, he hesitated for a few seconds, but still pushed the shopping cart to the Fresh Produce Section.

He picked an old hen, a large box of beef brisket, and also chose a nice piece of mutton, then searched for recipes on his cell phone on the spot, confirming all the side dishes needed for chicken soup, roasted beef brisket, and mutton.

A tall man with long legs pushed the shopping cart to the vegetable section.

At around nine o’clock in the morning, over 99% of the customers in the supermarket were Aunties who came early to buy groceries.

Among these people was a man dressed in dark-colored casual wear, standing nearly six feet two, with long, straight legs that almost attracted everyone’s gaze, astonishing all the Aunties coming out to shop in the early morning.

Many Aunties who came to buy groceries early were captivated, and when they looked up further, they were amazed by the man’s handsome features, more stunning even than television entertainment celebrities.

As Ben Lucas was following the recipe, picking up a chubby white radish to put in a plastic bag.

An enthusiastic old Auntie held his hand, "Young man, this radish isn’t good, the leaves are yellow, it won’t do... you must buy this one, with green stalks and leaves that’s still fresh and has a bit of ice texture to be tender."

Ben Lucas had never had his hand held like this by someone, instinctively he was about to coolly shake it off.

But as he looked down, he realized it was a grey-haired old Auntie holding his hand.

Before he had time to retrieve his hand, another elderly lady approached from the left, "Young man, you’re really handsome, are you a celebrity? Oh dear, look at me going on... Coming to buy groceries this early, you must be a homemaker. Not many young people like you these days...

Come, let Grandma tell you, the mutton you picked isn’t right, this part isn’t tasty, come, let Grandma tell you which part you should buy..."
