When Mingxiu arrived at the cake shop with her entourage, she saw a very long queue already forming at the entrance.

"Madam, it seems our pastries are indeed very popular. We've only been open for a short time, and there's already such a long queue. I'm sure it won't be long before it's as popular as the ones in the capital," Yu Lan said excitedly, looking at the queue.

"Yes, of course. Desserts are universal, no matter where you are. I don't believe any girl wouldn't like sweets." Mingxiu was very satisfied with this situation. You know, her cakes are unique right now. They can't be found anywhere else. If it weren't for the lack of manpower and her reluctance to expand, her shop in Beijing would have opened many, many branches long ago.

Now that we're here, this situation was exactly what Mingxiu had expected, but seeing this scene still makes me very happy.

"Great, great. It seems we've made quite a bit of money during our time in Yunnan." Mingxiu nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go in and try out the new products we made today."

When Mingxiu came out, she didn't bring many people with her. She only had a few servants around her, so there was no one who could stay here to make pastries. Mingxiu hired people here on the spot and taught them how to make them. So, if the temperature wasn't controlled properly in some places, Mingxiu and the others had to taste it themselves.

"Madam, this is what they just made. Please try it and see how it tastes." Liang Jiugong greeted Mingxiu and the others with a smile as they entered.

Emperor Kangxi doesn't need many servants around him now, so Liang Jiugong comes here to check on things whenever he has free time. He quite likes this job.

"Thank you for your hard work. Bring them all up. You can all try them and see if they taste the same as what we ate before," Mingxiu said, waving her hand to the people behind her.

The group took turns trying it, and Mingxiu offered some suggestions for improvement, planning to make some minor changes.

"Alright, we've finished our work for today. Let's go shopping." Mingxiu looked at the improved pastries and said excitedly to the people behind her. Although they had been here for quite a while, apart from the first few days, they had been busy with the shop and hadn't really had time to shop around.

Mingxiu still enjoys strolling around here. The wind is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and most importantly, many of the things here are very fresh.

“Great! Great! Madam, I see a jewelry store that’s opened not far ahead. They have lots of fun things inside. Let’s go check it out!” Yu Lan said excitedly from the side. She had seen it when she passed by before, but she didn’t have time to go in.

Mingxiu nodded. Since she didn't have a destination, the group started walking towards the jewelry store ahead. It wasn't far, only about half an incense stick's time's walk, so they arrived quickly.

Mingxiu looked at the items in the shop and immediately saw a very appealing ornament. When it was hung there, it would swirl around like waves when the wind blew, and it never stopped, which was very eye-catching.

The woman selling things nearby saw Mingxiu staring intently at the wind chime and walked over with a smile. "Madam, come in and take a look. This is a wind chime that we just received. We're not quite sure how it's made, but as soon as the wind blows, it keeps spinning like ocean waves, and the bells below move with it. Isn't it lovely to hear?"

Mingxiu nodded, agreeing that it sounded really good, and decided to buy it immediately.

She didn't even bother asking the price anymore. Anyway, she had made a lot of money today and could afford it. When the lady selling things next to her saw this, Mingxiu excitedly took the item and quickly packed it up. Although the item looked really nice, it was also very expensive. Many people had just looked at it without buying it. Unexpectedly, it was sold today.

Afterwards, Mingxiu wandered around the shop. Perhaps because it was near the sea, there were many things related to the ocean, such as seashells and conches, as well as clothes made in the shape of seashells. Mingxiu had a feeling of time travel when she was in the shop. She felt that this was not the Qing Dynasty, but a world of cultivation.

It's not really suitable to wear now, but it does look really good. Mingxiu thought about it for a moment, then decided to take it. If she couldn't wear it now, she could wear it in her spatial dimension, since no one could see her there anyway.

She originally had a lot of beautiful clothes in her space, but after leveling up, all of them were gone. So she decided to take this opportunity to collect more beautiful clothes.

Mingxiu and her maids were cleaning up the place like crazy, and the shop owner was all smiles. He and his staff ignored everyone else and just kept busy packing things for her.

In the end, Mingxiu led her people back home with a full load of goods.

When Kangxi heard the commotion and came out from behind, he saw Mingxiu walking in front, followed by a large group of people, each carrying a pile of things.

Kangxi's eyelids twitched.

"You've swept up so much stuff today. What's making you so happy to sweep up so much?" Kangxi teased Mingxiu, saying that he had learned a lot of new words from her since spending so much time with her.

"Today we came across a lot of beautiful clothes and novel items, so we accidentally bought too much. Yulan, take them to put everything in the room. We'll tidy it up when we have time." Mingxiu instructed the people behind her with a smile. Watching them carry the things to the back, Mingxiu pulled Kangxi back into the room and gulped down a cup of water.

"Slow down, slow down, be careful you don't choke again," Kangxi said, quickly going over to pat Mingxiu's back.

Mingxiu waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry. Little Stone has already left." Only after finishing her water did Mingxiu have the mood to look around.

Kangxi sighed helplessly, "Don't you even look at the time? It's almost lunchtime. He must have already gone back. Get ready, we'll have lunch too."

Mingxiu rubbed her stomach. She hadn't felt hungry when she was having so much fun shopping, but now she definitely felt hungry. Without thinking, she nodded and said, "Okay, have someone prepare the food. We'll eat right away after I've washed up."

Busy and somewhat hungry, Mingxiu didn't notice. Just as she came in for a drink of water, Kangxi quickly cleared some things off the table.
