After finishing her morning scene, Zixuan returned to the dressing room to change. There were two boxes of cloud cakes on the table.

One box was brought to her by her assistant, and the other box was handed to her by Jiang Yuze at the door.

Zixuan opened the two boxes.

Two cards fell out.

One of them is number 3820, which tells the story of how Emperor Qianlong named Yunpian cake.

One is a number, and the other is a touching love story.

Zixuan was a little confused when she looked at the two stories. Why were the origin stories of intangible cultural heritage foods different on each card?

She searched online with her phone and could only find information about the cloud-shaped cake named by Emperor Qianlong, but not about the story of the scholar.

So she took a picture of Qin Yi: "[Yi-mei, the cloud cake is sweet but not cloying, it's delicious, but why is the origin story of every single cloud cake different?]"

Qin Yi received Zi Xuan's message and carefully examined the shape of the two boxes of pastries and the card in the photo. She replied: "[Sister Zi Xuan, I did make both boxes of cloud cakes, but the card wasn't printed by us. There were only 10,000 cards for this event, and our black card's largest serial number is 'number 1000.' Also, I noticed the anti-counterfeiting label in the lower right corner doesn't have a laser-etched finish. That card is fake.]"

Zi Xuan stared blankly at Qin Yi's reply. If the card number was wrong, then the story was also fabricated?

So what exactly did Jiang Yuze mean by giving her this card?

Curious, Zixuan used her phone to search on Baidu: What does it represent?

After reading it, she couldn't help but smile...

-----------------------------

Qin Yi's business suddenly boomed thanks to the patronage of the two celebrities.

Even the flies that pass by will be asked, "Did you eat at that amazing restaurant that Zixuan and Jiang Yuze treated you to today?"

They were busy until 9 p.m., when the filming wrapped up and the paparazzi and fans all went home before Qin Yi and Zhuang Qing finally packed up.

"Sister, we sold 1200 servings today. It's really not easy for just the two of you to make so many. My hands are even shaking a little. Shall we go back to the hotel now?" Zhuang Qing asked.

Qin Yi didn't feel tired, but Zhuang Qing was exhausted. Thinking about it, she realized she should take care of the young girl's health.

"I'll drive straight home later, it should take about two hours. Tomorrow we'll sleep in before going to work. The workload these past two days has been really heavy, so you should go home and get some rest."

The next day, Qin Yi and Zhuang Qing didn't get up until noon.

She has already checked in at the distant locations, and the remaining mission locations are all within the Purple City, so she can freely choose which locations to check in at.

It just so happens that Grandpa Yu has been craving her cooking lately, so we set up this stop at the entrance of the community today.

It was the final hurdle, so there was no need to hide anything. She sent messages to Grandpa Yu and Li Hong, telling the neighbors that she would be setting up a stall in front of her house to sell intangible cultural heritage food today.

In the afternoon, Li Hong brought her group of girlfriends, wives, and children to Qin Yi's stall to eat.

Li Nansang drew the carved candied fruit, and Li Beiyang drew the donkey meat sandwich.

The two children took the small cards they had drawn and walked up to their mother: "Mommy, I can't understand the words on these cards."

Li Hong looked at the cards in her hand and introduced them to the children.

“My dear Nan Sang, carved candied fruit is made by slicing unripe pomelo fruits, then carving patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, flowers, birds, and fish with a willow-leaf knife, rinsing them in water, mixing them with white sugar or honey, and then drying them.”

"Bei Yang, you'll definitely love donkey meat sandwiches! There's a saying, 'Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground.' Real donkey meat sandwiches have tender meat and a rich flavor."

"Unfortunately, the anti-counterfeiting center recently broke some shocking news: 98% of donkey meat sandwiches on the market are made from old sow meat and horse meat, and they've added double the amount of sodium nitrite for coloring and donkey meat extract for flavoring. Sodium nitrite is a Group 1 carcinogen! I don't dare take my kids out to eat this stuff anymore. Normal donkey meat costs over 90 yuan per pound, and all those donkey meat sandwiches that cost 10 or 20 yuan outside are fake. Sigh..."

Li Hong continued to say to her best friends, "But I trust Boss Qin's products. Not only do they taste good, but the ingredients are also very clean, which is what we mothers care about most."

Mi Si chimed in, "We've known Boss Qin since she first started her stall two months ago. Back then, she was selling rice noodles, and you can believe that a bowl of lobster noodles used four fresh baby blue lobsters?"

My girlfriends exclaimed, "Why did you only introduce us now? We've missed so many opportunities to eat delicious food!"

Li Hong looked at Qin Yi's busy figure and said, "It's not that I don't want to introduce you. You see, I live in the same neighborhood as Boss Qin, and I've only seen her three or four times. Boss Qin is usually very mysterious and never tells us where she sets up her stall. We always run into her by chance. This time, she took the initiative to send us the location of her stall, which is why we had the opportunity to bring you all here!"

My best friend said, "Then we really have to try Mr. Qin's cooking later."

After a while, Qin Yi and Zhuang Qing came over carrying several trays.

"Please enjoy the carved candied fruit and donkey meat sandwich first. There are two ways to eat the carved candied fruit: one is to bite into it directly, and the other is to add the candied fruit slices to flower tea and jujubes to make Wan Hua tea. The donkey meat sandwich is made with braised meat from Bohai donkey, with chopped fresh chili peppers, sandwiched in a flatbread and baked. This must be eaten while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good and will feel too dense."

Each of the ladies at the table had a cup of carved candied fruit tea in front of them, and a baked bun cut in half. They ate one piece with each other, and had to save room for the rest of the meal.

Misi picked up a teacup-shaped carved candied fruit and examined it carefully.

"Incredible, sister! Boss Qin's craftsmanship is simply exquisite! These little teacups are beautiful, each one engraved with a different pattern. How can anyone bring themselves to eat them!"

Li Nansang picked up a piece of candied fruit shaped like a small bird and put it in her mouth.

With a crunchy sound as she took a bite, Nan Sang exclaimed with a grin, "Mommy, it's so delicious! So sweet!"

Li Hong took a sip of the Wanhua tea brewed with carved candied fruit, closed her eyes, and savored the taste.

"Mmm~~~ The tea is sweet, and you can also taste the refreshing aroma of winter melon, chrysanthemum, and pomelo. This carved candied fruit, a non-heritage delicacy, combines art and taste. Boss Qin has a wonderfully discerning eye when it comes to food!"
