After three days, the stove pit was finally built.
Tang Youyou waved his hand and said, "Let's go, kids. Let me show you some real delicious food!"
A group of people went to the shop in a mighty procession.
"Yingchun comes to help, and the rest of you just wait and eat!"
Upon hearing this, the five children quickly sat down in the corner and chatted animatedly with each other.
Jia Fugui shook his head slightly and sighed, "Sons are just not as well-behaved and obedient as daughters."
Xue'er brought a pot of tea and said, "Uncle, my brothers are still young, so it's normal for them to be naughty!"
The two chatted casually.
"Brother Fugui!" Jiang Wensheng was beaming.
"Hey...Brother Jiang, you look so happy!"
Jiang Wensheng heard the teasing in his words and waved to the children, "I brought you some food!"
"No one comes to visit you for no reason. What are you doing here, busy man?"
Jia Fugui felt a little unhappy. He had heard that his business had suddenly picked up in the past few days. Logically, he should have thanked Tang Youyou. Was he pretending to be confused? Was he so ignorant of etiquette?
Jiang Wensheng naturally heard the sarcastic tone in his voice, "Brother Fugui, I've been really busy these past few days. I came here yesterday and heard from the housekeeper that you went to the manor, so I hurried over today!"
He looked around but didn't see Tang Youyou.
"Brother Fugui, I came here today to thank you and Sister Tang. Is she not here?"
Jia Fugui then raised his eyes, glanced at him, and pointed to the kitchen, "Cooking food!"
Jiang Wensheng also sat down. Because there was a man from outside the family present, Xueer went to the kitchen.
After a while, fragrance came from the kitchen.
"It smells so good!" The fourth brother sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Look at you, you're such a loser! And you still have the nerve to say you've been eating delicacies since you were a kid? Aren't you ashamed?"
The fourth child laughed and said, "I'm so lucky to have such a good father!"
Jia Fugui chuckled, "Your mouth is smeared with honey? You only know how to flatter!"
The children looked at each other and walked forward in a servile manner.
The eldest brother said: "Dad, you've been running around so much, I'll give you a shoulder massage!"
The second child squatted down and said, "Dad, you sprained your ankle yesterday. Does your leg still hurt? Let me massage it for you!"
The third brother pouted and thought: Why are you trying to steal my words?
Lao Wu quickly handed over a bowl of milk tea and said, "Dad, are you thirsty?"
The fourth child scratched his head, thinking to himself: Didn't we agree on this? Why are you going against Dad? Why are you flattering me?
The third brother tugged at his sleeve and said, "Fourth brother, let's go to the kitchen and take a look!"
It's quite embarrassing to just stand there.
Jia Fugui was in a very good mood, his eyes narrowed, "If everyone is as filial as today, I will wake up laughing in my dreams!"
Jiang Wensheng raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly.
Jia Fugui, who was enjoying it, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Why did it stop? Press it again..."
But he found that the children were surrounding Tang Youyou, or to be exact, surrounding the tray in her hand.
"Ahem... what a disgrace!"
He said this, but his nose couldn't help but sniff.
Tang Youyou's eyes curved with laughter, "I have both, but you must give your opinions!"
When I arrived at the table, I found Jiang Wensheng with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Brother Jiang is here?"
The other party nodded slightly in response.
"Just right, I made some pastries, give me some advice!"
Each child got a piece.
"Wow... so soft and delicious, even better than osmanthus cake!"
"That's right, you can still eat even if your teeth are missing!"
"There's also the fragrance of tea leaves, which is so nice!"
"If you add a cup of milk tea, it's a perfect match!"
After hearing what the child said, Jia Fugui picked up the milk tea in front of him and took a sip. "Haha... Don't say it, Lao Wu, you are indeed a senior foodie. This milk tea is quite delicious with this pastry!"
The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it seriously. Jiang Wensheng tasted the pastry in his hand and felt it was tasteless.
Seeing everyone's satisfied faces, Tang Youyou felt very satisfied. Although she couldn't cook, she could make pastries! It was a piece of cake for her.
“Eat is eat, but you have to give advice!”
Xue'er spoke first, "It's soft, sweet, and has a rich milky flavor without being fishy at all. I just think it's too sweet!"
"It's not sweet, not at all, Sister Xueer, you've never eaten osmanthus cake, right? It's so sweet!" The fourth brother said seriously.
Jia Fugui angrily shouted, "If you can't speak, just shut your mouth!"
The fourth child was confused: What did I say wrong? He was praising me just now.
Xue'er didn't feel embarrassed. "It's bittersweet, it tastes really good. Mom, I think this will be a big hit!"
The fifth brother also nodded heavily, "Aunt Tang, it's delicious, but it's too little!"
Jia Fugui wanted to hold his forehead, "Get lost, get out of here! Do you think this is a meal for you to eat?"
The fifth brother's eyes were clear and stupid. "Is it not possible? My stepmother said that I don't like to eat vegetables. Cakes are also food. I just need to eat enough to fill my stomach!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
"Sister, you really didn't disappoint me. To be honest, I've traveled all over the country for so many years and have tasted all kinds of delicious food. Your cakes are really unique!"
Tang Youyou was a little proud, "Hey... appetizers, not worth mentioning, I still have a lot of snacks, but they all need to be tested, hahaha..."
"If you ask me, your brain is the most valuable, hahaha..."
Both of them had smiles on their faces, except Jiang Wensheng, who was full of regret but couldn't bring himself to speak.
"Sister Tang, your cakes will definitely sell well. In a few days, the Jiang family's old lady will celebrate her 60th birthday. If you can make some of these cakes, you will definitely become famous!"
Jia Fugui raised his eyebrows, feeling a little comforted in his heart: I said this kid is not such an ungrateful person!
Tang Youyou smiled, "Madam Jiang? But she's your grandmother?"
Jiang Wensheng nodded, "By then, most of the wealthy families in Nanzhou will come to congratulate you."
Tang Youyou immediately came up with an idea, "Brother Jiang, I'll give you an idea. I guarantee that the old lady will look at you differently!"
"Oh? I'm all ears!"
"If you do this... and do this again..." the two of them muttered.
Jiang Wensheng frowned, "Can this really work?"
"Why not just give it a try? I'm sure the old lady has eaten a lot of delicacies throughout her life, and naturally has seen a lot of jewelry and jade. Sincerity is the most important thing. Besides, are you just trying to show off your wealth now?"
Jiang Wensheng was enlightened, and he immediately said, "Thank you, Sister Tang, for your advice!"
"No need to thank me. By then, whether my pastry can become famous or not will depend on you!"
After the people left, Jia Fugui sighed, "Sister, thank you so much!"
"Brother, why do you say that? I'm doing this for the store's business, not entirely for him! Such a rare opportunity, of course I have to seize it. Will you attend the birthday party then?"
Jia Fugui nodded. "The Jiang family is a large family with great prestige in Nanzhou. The eldest son of the Jiang family is a fourth-rank official in the court! When the time comes, all the wealthy families in Nanzhou will come to congratulate them!"
