In the middle of the Chen hour.
In front of the gate of Luoxia Cottage, the managers of Xu and Lu's two restaurants, as well as the waiters from the other eight restaurants were already waiting here at Chenshi.
The two Xingyun brothers stood outside the gate with stern expressions, like gatekeepers.
If the restaurant manager hadn't seen the two men holding scales and seeing they had met several times before, he would have suspected that they had come to the wrong place.
Not long after, when Su Xingyi appeared in everyone's sight driving a truck full of rare ingredients, Li Su was the first to run forward, determined to be the first to divide the rare ingredients.
Unfortunately, the Lu family got there first.
After a period of chaos at the entrance of Luoxia Cottage, peace returned.
"Daddy." Shangguan Jinnian rushed out and threw Su Xingyi into his arms. "You are finally back. Xiaojiu missed you too."
Su Xingyi touched Shangguan Jinnian's little head and said, "Daddy misses you too."
He glanced at Xiao Lingyu, who was walking out of the courtyard with the two little ones, smiling and talking. His heart suddenly tightened, and the paintings of Xiao Lingyu in various expressions suddenly appeared in his mind.
He was distracted and didn't hear Xiao Lingyu calling him.
Xiao Lingyu was surprised when he saw this. What happened to him?
Like he hasn't woken up yet.
Xiao Lingyu came forward and patted him, "Xingyi, what's wrong with you? Did you hear what I said?"
Su Xingyi came back to his senses, "Ah... I heard it. Hurry up and get in the carriage. We're going to the pastry shop now."
Su Xingyi escorted Xiao Lingyu and her son and mother to the carriage and whispered to Su Ning'an, "Just now, your mother led your third brother and sister out of the yard. Did you see that?"
Su Ning'an raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this, "Dad, I understand, I will draw it."
It was winter when his mother's birthday came, and he could draw at least a hundred beautiful portraits of his mother.
"Okay, An'er, hurry up and get in the car." Xiao Lingyu became a little impatient when he saw that the two of them were taking a long time to get in the car.
"Oh, here it comes."
Not long after the Su family's carriage left Luoxia Cottage, Yan Xiaosi followed in his carriage.
Shangguan Yunxiao, who was in the carriage, thought about Shangguan Jinnian happily hugging Su Xingyi and calling him dad, and his eyebrows twitched.
Not only did Xiaojiu forget him, he also called someone else "Daddy".
How sad would the emperor be if he knew about this?
"Xiao Si, find a chance to take Xiao Jiu away today."
If the Ninth Prince can't remember who he is within a year or two, it will be a big trouble.
In the Su family's carriage, Su Xingyi was absent-mindedly talking to the children.
From time to time, his eyes would glance at Xiao Lingyu, who was half-lying on the couch with his eyes slightly closed, holding Xiao Xier in his arms. He looked very relaxed, as if he was really asleep.
"Brother An." Su Xingyi signaled Su Ning'an with his eyes.
Su Ningan looked carefully at his mother who was dozing on the couch with a lazy and relaxed look.
It turns out that my mother looks pretty when she sleeps.
"Dad, I've remembered it. I can draw something beautiful."
The whispers of the two made Xiao Lingyu, who had his eyes slightly closed, raise his eyebrows slightly.
There is something wrong with this father and son today!
Could something have happened in Guihua Village?
Xiao Lingyu raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Xingyi.
It is necessary to find an opportunity to try him.
At this time, a boy's voice came into the car.
"Mom, I want to eat the golden thing in the little girl's hand."
The boy's mother looked over and saw a young man holding a little girl with two pigtails in his arms. The girl was eating egg tarts bite by bite.
"Sir, is this the new food from Zhang's Bakery?"
The young man shook his head. "This is an egg tart I bought from Yudian Sweet Cake next to Yuxiang Teahouse. Many of the cakes in the shop are fresh and I've never seen them before... I heard they have a kind of cake that can only be eaten on birthdays..."
Before he could finish his words, the boy hurriedly dragged his mother to the Yudian Sweet Cake Shop.
"Mom, hurry up, I want egg tarts."
Su Ningan sat back in the carriage, "Mom, I guess the 'Yudian Sweet Cake Shop' is already crowded with people."
What Su Ningan said was indeed correct.
Basically, all the wealthy families that could be invited to Xishui County today were queuing up in an orderly manner with their invitations to enter the shop to taste for free the birthday cake that had been promoted so much recently.
"What kind of cakes are these that can only be eaten on birthdays?"
This aroused the curiosity of the passers-by who did not know the truth, and they all stepped into the shop to find out what was going on.
"Boss, when can we have the birthday cake?"
Shopkeeper Xu Jiang said with a smile, "Welcome everyone to come and support us. The birthday cake will be ready in a quarter of an hour. Please wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, plates of golden egg tarts, puffs, waffles and other small pastries were brought out from the kitchen. The sweet milky aroma attracted everyone's attention.
"They are birthday cakes?"
Xu Jiang, "The birthday cake isn't ready yet. These are just ordinary pastries."
"This isn't just any ordinary pastry. I haven't seen it in any other pastry shop... Boss, give me five egg tarts. My mother and I want to eat them while we drink milk tea..."
A woman in her early twenties came in holding a boy of seven or eight years old, and both mother and son were holding a medium cup of milk tea.
Xu Jiang took the five taels of silver with a smile and was about to wrap it in oil paper when the woman stopped him, "No need, let's try it now and see if what the milk tea shop next door said is true?"
After saying that, the boy picked up an egg tart, took a bite and drank a sip of milk tea, "Mom, they are right, the egg tarts are crispy, soft and delicious."
Everyone took a bite of the egg tarts and found that they were soft in the middle. They looked delicious and said, "Boss, make me five."
"I want ten."
"I want twenty."
Xu Jiang smiled from ear to ear, "Not only are the egg tarts delicious, our puffs are even better. Most of them are unique to Beiyi..."
Xiao Lingyu and his family entered through the back door of the 'Yudian Tiangao' shop.
Xu Yulan had been waiting here early and came over excitedly.
"We haven't had a free sample of our birthday cake yet, and the egg tarts we made last night are all sold out. We just made three new batches and they're almost sold out. I think one tael of silver per piece is too low."
"It's not cheap. Egg tarts are for selling in large quantities. Other cakes are at least 20 taels of silver per pound. We mainly make money from birthday cakes."
Xu Yulan said, "It's a quarter of an hour, time to serve the birthday cake."
Xiao Lingyu looked at the five large cakes in the ice cellar and said, "It will be fine if we can receive five orders today."
Xu Yulan pursed her lips and said, "It's definitely more than this!"
Xu Yulan found out clearly that thirty big customers would be celebrating birthdays in the next month, so she had to get at least twenty pre-orders in order to make the free cake tasting today worthwhile.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I hope it's as you wish. The more pre-orders the better...Okay, now let's serve the cake."
