Chapter 172 We are here to fulfill our vows
After busying around for a while, they sold more than 30 cakes in total. There were a few stalls nearby that also sold cakes. They set up their stalls earlier than Xu Zhiyi's, but they only bought a few cakes.
Now seeing that Xu Zhiyi had sold so much at his stall just after setting it up, several people couldn't help but feel jealous.
They really wanted to see what kind of pastry it was that was so popular, but when they heard that it cost four cents each, they were reluctant to buy one to try. After some hesitation, they finally couldn't help but buy one.
I only earned a few cents today, and it really hurts to give it away all at once.
After seeing those people buy cakes and leave, Su Manman said, "Cousin, they also set up a stall to sell cakes. They bought our cakes instead. Are they trying to learn from us?"
"I know! They just saw that our business was good, and they wanted to personally verify what was so good about our pastries. They also wanted to steal our cakes, but they couldn't guess what they were made of. The only thing they could tell was the fruit ingredients that were added."
After hearing Xu Zhiyi's affirmative words, Su Manman was no longer so worried.
The stall owner across the street bought some bowls of cake from here and his wife couldn't wait to open it and taste it.
“It’s very soft and chewy. It bounces when I pinch it. The sweetness is very well controlled. There’s only red beans in it.”
The stall owner listened to his wife's evaluation and saw the last bite left in her hand. He quickly snatched it away and said, "Look, I didn't buy it to hear you say how delicious it is. I want to see what it is made of."
"Didn't I tell you? There's only red beans in it. You'll know it once you see it..."
"You can? Then tell me, what kind of flour is this made of? How do you make it transparent after steaming it?"
After hearing what her husband said, she was also shocked: "Yes! I have been making pastries for more than ten years, and I really don't know how to make pastries transparent! How do you think the girl who sells this pastry does it?"
"How should I know? Why don't you go ask her?"
"This... will people be willing to tell you? This is a money-making business."
"You know what I mean? Wrap up the remaining one, and let's go back and take a closer look. If it doesn't work, we can buy all the noodles and try them one by one. There will always be one that is right."
"Hey, you are worthy of being my husband. No one can compare to your cleverness."
After trying the bowl-shaped cake I bought earlier, I found that not only did it look like a transparent cake I had never seen before, but it also tasted surprisingly good. I felt that I didn’t buy enough, so I should buy a few more and go back to let my family try this novel cake.
Xu Zhiyi packed up another twenty pieces, and several people came to buy them for the second time!
More than half an hour later, Shen Wuyou came back with someone, and Su came down with a basket and said, "Zhiyi, how about I take care of the stall first, and you two can go for a walk. I heard that the scenery next to the mountain is nice, you can go and have a look after you burn incense."
"Mom, I'm not interested in the scenery, I'm only interested in the money, so I'll just stay at the stall, and you can take your grandmother and aunt to burn incense."
Su: "Your grandmother, aunt and I will definitely go later, but you three have to burn the incense yourselves."
Then he leaned close to Xu Zhiyi's ear and said, "Mom has inquired about it. This Fayun Temple is very effective for praying for children. Now that you are here, just think of it as praying in advance and lighting incense so that the immortals can prepare in advance. Otherwise, there are so many people here today. When will it be your turn?"
After hearing what Su said, Xu Zhiyi was speechless. She only often heard of women being forced to give birth by their mothers-in-law, but it was rare to hear of women being forced to give birth by their own mothers.
"Mom, I'm still young, don't worry about this"
Su: "Mother knows, that's why I said that. I'm just paying my respects in advance. Okay, okay, you three can go quickly. Your grandmother and I will stay here to guard the stall."
Xu Zhiyi had no choice but to take Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou upstairs to burn some incense and then come down.
Now Shen Changan's legs are still not fully able to walk normally. Although Miss A Yue said that it will take a year to fully recover, but because of the spiritual spring water, it is estimated that with the current recovery speed, the originally planned one year will take less than half a year!
So when going up the mountain, taking Shen Changan's legs into consideration, she and Shen Wuyou both slowed down their pace.
More than half an hour later, the three of them finally reached the Fayun Temple, Xu Zhiyi carried a small basket of incense, and took Shen Wuyou and Shen Changan, intending to worship from beginning to end, especially when worshipping the God of Wealth, Xu Zhiyi lit several times the incense, and knelt down with great sincerity.
After paying homage to the last matchmaker, Shen Wuyou and Shen Changan looked at Xu Zhiyi who was about to go in, and they both held Xu Zhiyi's hands at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.
"What's wrong? We still have one last worship, we can go down the mountain after that."
Shen Changan: "Madam, this is Yue Lao, asking for marriage"
Shen Wuyou: "Are you still asking Grandpa Yue to arrange a few more husbands for you?"
After hearing what the two said, Xu Zhiyi realized that this was Yue Lao.
Then he took the two's hands and said, "The three of us have to worship Grandpa Yue. He has tied the three of us together, so we can't burn the bridge after crossing it."
"We've passed by the doorstep of the matchmaker! We can't even afford to burn a stick of incense. What if he gets angry and cuts our red string?"
When the two heard this, they actually felt that what the lady said was absolutely right.
"Come on, let's go in. Grandpa Yue Lao has tied the red thread for us, so it's normal for us to come here to fulfill our vows."
After the three of them went in and burned incense, Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou knelt down and emphasized to Yue Lao that they were not here to ask for the red thread, but to fulfill a vow. They also asked Yue Lao to help tie their red thread and their wives' red thread tightly, so that it could not be untied.
Xu Zhiyi came out to the intersection of the way down the mountain, looked to the left and saw many people walking by, and couldn't help but look at the two brothers and asked, "Do you two want to go for a walk?"
"We will listen to you, my lady. We will be responsible for accompanying you."
"Well, then, I'm still interested in making money, so let's go down the mountain?"
"good"
Just as I was about to step down the mountain, a scream suddenly came from under the big tree: "Let me go, who are you? I don't know you, get out of here!"
"Yinyin, it's me, your Yulang. Didn't you say you loved me the most? Why haven't you come to see me these past few days?"
The people around were watching a man and a woman hugging each other not far away. The woman was struggling and throwing a tantrum, while the man was hugging her and apologizing desperately.
"Hey, whose girl is this? How can she not know the seriousness of the matter? This is within the Fayun Temple. She is flirting and hugging a man under a tree in broad daylight. How shameless!"
"It's so embarrassing to do such a shameful thing outside of this temple"
"No, don't believe him. I don't know him. I came to find my aunt. My maid said my aunt is waiting for me here."
"Yin Yin, do you really have to lie? You didn't even bring your maid with you when you went out today."
Yin Yin felt helpless when she heard this. How did this person know her name? It was the maid who came over and said that her aunt was here, but the maid and her aunt disappeared! Instead, she was hugged by this man who suddenly jumped out.
Shen Changan saw the woman who was secretly observing not far away, and for a moment, he found that she looked very familiar?
