Before dawn, the Chen family left Baihua Village in two separate groups.
One group went to Shuangqiao Town, while another group went to a neighboring town.
Different destinations, same goal.
We arrived in town.
Jin Shou, wrapped up tightly, squatted in the usual spot.
Only his eyes and nose were visible, and it took him a long time to block the plum blossoms.
What are you doing here again?
When Lamei saw him, she was so angry that she almost lost her composure, but thankfully she remembered her mother's words and managed to hold back.
"Sister, the shop is opening the day after tomorrow. Sprinkle this croton powder into the flower cakes. Don't worry, it will only give customers diarrhea. But as long as something happens to Mother's shop, our shop's business will improve. I heard that many wealthy families in the neighboring town have ordered flower cakes from Mother's shop. It's the perfect time to grab business."
Jin Shou handed the bottle to La Mei.
The latter took it, opened it, and frowned slightly.
Jin Shou was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong?"
He asked tremblingly.
"It's alright. Where did you get this croton oil? I really admire you for coming up with such a despicable trick. Aren't you afraid your mother will be arrested by the authorities?"
The winter plum blossoms seemed a little angry.
It's just not obvious on the surface.
"So what? If she had given the shop and restaurant to the two of us, would I have done this? In the end, it's Mother's injustice. She has sown the seeds of her own evil deeds, and she has to taste them properly. Lamei, things have already come to this point, so don't back down. For our future, and for our shop, you must add the croton powder, do you hear me?"
"Okay, okay, I have to go back now. You go back to your village."
Fearing she would give herself away, Lamei took the medicine bottle and left.
Jin Shou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from Lamei's expression just now, he thought he had been exposed.
Fortunately, winter plum blossoms have never seen croton powder.
After finishing his business, Jin Shou left the city.
He didn't linger for a moment, fearing that the old woman from yesterday would report him to the authorities and he would be arrested again.
Wax Plum returned to the shop and handed the medicine bottle to Yan Xia.
"Mother, that's what he said. It's infuriating! He actually wanted me to harm you. How could he become so vicious? I really wonder if you were switched at birth."
Were we switched at birth?
Of course not.
Although they are triplets, Jin Shou looks exactly like a member of the Chen family, and is actually the ugliest of the three brothers.
But his eyes were exactly the same as the original owner's.
His square and ordinary face gained a touch of devilish charm.
It is precisely because of these eyes that she is not outrageously ugly.
It was neutralized slightly.
"Lamei, go and fetch a doctor after lunch."
Yan Xia guessed that Jin Shou wouldn't dare to stay any longer.
"good."
Wax Plum obediently nodded.
When the doctor arrived.
Yan Xia handed him the medicine bottle.
"Could you please take a look at this? My child, who has a brain disorder, found this somewhere and insisted on trying it, saying it was powdered sugar. I stopped him."
Jin Shou, who suffers from a brain disorder, sneezed several times shortly after leaving the city gate.
The doctor opened the medicine bottle, poured a little into his hand, and examined it, smelled it, and tasted it.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Quickly, give me some water."
He was vomiting violently.
Guihua quickly poured him a glass of water.
The doctor rinsed his mouth several times before stopping.
He took a pill from the medicine box, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"This is powder made from dried and ground deadly grass. Just half a spoonful is enough to kill a cow on the spot. Luckily, I rinsed my mouth in time and took an antidote pill, otherwise I'm afraid I would have lost my life."
Yan Xia hadn't expected this doctor to be so bold, identifying the medicine powder by tasting it.
They must have been a cat in their past life to be so reckless.
"The deadly grass usually grows on the northern hills. It is the color of rice husks all over. It will fade after being dried. When it is ground into powder, it is as white as polished rice. How dare you throw this poisonous powder around everywhere? What a vicious person! I hope your child didn't accidentally eat it?"
The doctor asked with concern.
"No, no, don't worry."
"Please take these two taels of silver. Consider it as you saving my sick child. Thank you."
Yan Xia took out two taels of silver and gave it to the cyber doctor.
This kind of doctor who dares to try all kinds of herbs is truly amazing.
"Oh, thank you so much! If you ever need anything at home, just call me at the pharmacy. I'll be there anytime. Oh, wait, I mean, I hope your family never comes looking for me again..."
Yan Xia's face darkened.
She truly didn't know how to evaluate this doctor.
Soon, the laxatives Yan Xia bought in the space took effect.
Everyone in the Chen family who ate the flower cakes hid in the outhouse and couldn't come out. Because so much time had passed, they didn't connect it to the flower cakes and just thought they had eaten something wrong. They had diarrhea for three days before their health began to improve, and the shop naturally had to postpone its opening by one day.
The Chen and Zhao families argued several times over the name of the shop sign before finally settling on "that".
Flower cake and pastry shop.
Nobody can take advantage of this.
On the opening day, Zhao Daniu didn't even buy firecrackers.
Ten trays were baked in a row, but not a single customer came.
Chen Shouzhu couldn't resist any longer, so she took her older brother, two nephews, and children to sell their wares on the street.
You know what?
The reputation of the flower cakes has attracted many customers.
The price was far lower than the half tael of silver that Yan Xia sold it for.
It only costs three hundred coins.
Then you can buy a bag.
There are 6 pieces in the bag.
They sold out before the afternoon.
They made a fortune.
The whole family was gathered in the shop counting their money.
However, the next second, a commotion broke out at the door.
"Give me my money back! What kind of lousy flower cakes are these? They're completely different from the ones sold at Yan's Pastry Shop. This is a scam! They dare to sell this junk for 300 coins a bag? I wouldn't even eat it if they gave it to me for free. Do they think I've never eaten at Yan's Pastry Shop before? Their flower cakes are all filling inside, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Unlike yours, which are hard as a rock. You take a bite and it's still just a cake, with only a tiny bit of filling in the middle. I only saw it when I was almost halfway through. And to make matters worse, the filling is watery. I can't even taste the rose flavor. Give me my money back! How am I supposed to give this garbage as a gift? I even bought 10 bags. I'm so angry!"
"Me too. I bought five bags, thinking I got a good deal, but when I opened them at home, they were completely nonsensical. What a piece of junk! It tastes awful. Give me my money back, or I'll sue you at the county government."
"Neighbors, come and see! This isn't a flower cake, it's a sesame seed cake! I spent three hundred coins to buy six broken cakes. I'd rather spend two coins to buy a sesame seed cake. Come, come, let me break it open and show you."
One of them broke open the flower cake and found that the outer shell was rock hard.
It took a lot of effort to pry it open; the inner part was as small as a fingernail.
"The flower cakes I ate at Yan's Pastry Shop were still crispy even when they were cold, but the ones at this shop were as hard as rocks. That's not all; the filling was pitifully small, barely enough to taste the rose flavor. It was really not worth it. It was like throwing money into water; it was gone in a flash."
