Shopkeeper He cried out in injustice: "No, we are the real Jinji!"

Manager Zhang said to the servant, "Call the man in."

It would be a good idea to invite him in. Manager He also wanted to see who was so bold as to pretend to be Jinji! Soon, the person was brought in by the servant.

When he saw the three of them, Shopkeeper He's eyes almost popped out! "It's you?!"

If the people who came weren’t Manager Sun, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou, then who else could they be?

Strange, how did these three get together? Shopkeeper Sun bowed to Zhang, the steward of the Qi family, and said in a friendly manner, "Staff Zhang, how are you?"

Previously, it was Manager Sun who negotiated business with the Qi family. Manager Zhang had met him and had an impression of him.

As for the fat girl and the poor boy beside him, they are strangers.

Shopkeeper He swept his cold eyes over Shopkeeper Sun and the siblings. He subconsciously felt that Shopkeeper Sun was older and had more experience, so this matter must have been Shopkeeper Sun's idea.

He angrily asked, "Sun! Why are you here?"

Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile on his face: "Of course I'm here to deliver the goods to the Qi family!"

"You are no longer the shopkeeper of Jinji! How can it be your turn to deliver the goods!" Shopkeeper He said while looking at Manager Zhang, "This person has been kicked out of Jinji a long time ago. Now I am the shopkeeper of Jinji!"

Shopkeeper Sun hit the nail on the head: "Well, have you made the snacks from last time?"

Shopkeeper He choked.

Shopkeeper Sun thought, no way? Did this girl really guess it right? Jinji didn't make her taste?

Su Xiaoxiao could guess, but since it was just a guess, there was a possibility of being wrong. Even Su Xiaoxiao could not guarantee that her plan was foolproof.

At this moment, she felt relieved.

As long as Jin Kee doesn’t make the exact same taste, she still has a chance!

"Where are the snacks?" Qing'er asked.

She didn't care about the old or new shopkeeper, she just wanted the egg yolk pastry from last time. Otherwise, if the old lady was unhappy and Mr. Qi blamed her, the servants would be in trouble! Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou handed her four large food boxes.

Qing'er said to Manager Zhang, "Please ask a few people to take them to the old lady's courtyard!"

Manager Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Qing'er!"

After the servants of the Qi family left with the snacks, Su Xiaoxiao and the others were not in a hurry to leave.

Shopkeeper He is also here.

He glared at the three of them coldly and said with disdain, "Mr. Sun, have you actually fallen to the point of associating with two country bumpkins? Jinji has raised you for more than 20 years, and this is how you repay Jinji! Are you worthy of Jinji!"

Damn it! Who is wronging whom? Shopkeeper He continued, "Also, don't think you can take away Jinji's business like this! With the same recipe, Jinji uses the best flour and hires the best chef! If the taste of Jinji can't satisfy Madam Qi, you guys should forget about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Zhang came running over in small steps.

Judging from his expression, something seems to be wrong.

Shopkeeper He smiled gloatingly: "See what I said? You have no chance at all——"

Manager Zhang came to Su Xiaoxiao and the other two and said, "My old lady wants to see you."

He said please.

Shopkeeper He was shocked: "What did you say?"

Manager Zhang ignored him and politely said to Su Xiaoxiao and the other two, "Please follow me."

The three of them followed Manager Zhang to Old Madam Qi's courtyard.

Old Madam Qi is seventy years old this year, which is considered a long life in ancient times. She is also in good health. She doesn't have many preferences in food and clothing on weekdays. She only tasted the snacks sent by Manager Sun last time and could not forget the taste.

Mr. Qi was a filial son, there was no falsehood about this, so he immediately finalized the deal.

He doesn't care how much money it is, all he wants is to make Madam Qi happy.

Madam Qi sat on the official hat chair, her expression revealing a hint of the majesty of an old lady in a large mansion.

She looked at the three of them and asked, "Who made the snacks?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's me."

Shopkeeper He glanced at the table and was shocked! He saw a food box on the left, filled with pink peaches. The peaches were white with a hint of red, and there were light green peach leaves underneath. Just by looking at them, one could almost smell the fragrance of peaches.

In a food box on the right, there are orange-yellow marigolds, each with distinct petals and stamens dotted with raised brown centers.

So lifelike.

If they weren't packed in a lunch box, I'm afraid no one would mistake them for real peaches and real marigolds.

It's no wonder that Manager He reacted so strongly. Even Old Madam Qi, who only ate snacks from the city all year round, was really shocked.

She had never seen anyone make dim sum so exquisitely before. She didn't even taste it before asking Manager Zhang to call the person over.

She asked, "Girl, tell me, what are these?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Salted egg peach cake, milky chestnut cake, and longevity cake."

Shopkeeper He stretched his neck and looked at the third food box that was blocked.

What's inside is the longevity cake.

The longevity cake looks like a normal cake, but if you look closely, you will find that it is very different.

The filling of the Fushou Cake is the same as that of the Wife Cake, but it is not made of puff pastry, and its skin is somewhat similar to that of a mooncake.

Mrs. Qi is getting old, and this kind of crust has a more fragrant, glutinous and soft texture, which is more suitable for her teeth.

In addition, Su Xiaoxiao also used a mold to press the word "Shou" and carvings of pine branches on the cake, which is magnificent and can be said to have captured the essence of the first two snacks.

Madam Qi said gently, "Qing'er, bring the snacks over for me to try."

"Yes, old lady." Qing'er took the silver tray, took a piece of each dessert, and handed it to the old lady along with a small gilded silver spoon.

Old Madam Qi also tasted a little, and the taste was even more amazing than the egg yolk pastry and wife cake last time.

Madam Qi looked at Su Xiaoxiao, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "Girl, what do you think of these snacks?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Everyone in Jushui lives a long life, and Taoyuan is a fairyland! I wish you good fortune like the long-flowing water of the East China Sea, and a long life like the evergreen pines of the South Mountain!"

What a blessing! May you be as blessed as the endless flowing water of the East Sea and as long-lived as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains!

Everyone looked at the marigold chestnut cake, salted egg yolk longevity peach cake, and pine branch carved longevity cake on the table. At this moment, they all felt as if they had been enlightened!

I really underestimated this fat country girl. Not only did she make beautiful and delicious snacks, but she also had such a subtle mind! They were like a knife in the butt today - they opened their eyes! Shopkeeper He was stunned and so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him indifferently.

If you compete with me for business, I will kill you! 　There will be another update later.
