Xiao Yunze tapped the armrest lightly with his index finger, and said in a faint voice, "The goddess liked the cakes last time very much, so she bought these cake-making tools for you."
"There are molds of various shapes, as well as a hand whisk, a sieve, a piping bag, a small steamer, and so on. At the bottom is a small bottle of shortening for making puff pastry, and there are two sticks of butter next to it. The goddess said that some pastries taste better with a little butter."
After hearing these few words, Chen and Liu were stunned. They suppressed their excitement and knelt down, "Thank you, Goddess, and thank you, His Royal Highness!"
Chen raised her head and stared blankly at the large box on the ground. She blinked and looked back at the main seat. "Your Highness, these... I have never heard of or seen any of them. Please forgive my ignorance. I don't know how to use them."
Liu was also shocked, and her usually calm face showed surprise and suspicion, but she did not dare to stare at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly, and kept her head down.
Xiao Yunze raised his hand and said, "Everyone, get up. With these tools, you can quickly make cakes of various shapes."
"The goddess thinks the cakes you two make are delicious. With these tools, maybe you can open a cake shop in the city, and your family's livelihood will improve."
After saying that, Xiao Yunze stood up again and said, "Of course, whether or not to open this shop is entirely up to you. The Goddess will not interfere. Zhuque will teach you how to use these tools later."
Almost the next second, Suzaku appeared at the door of the inner room, grinning, "That's right, I've taught you everything. If you have any questions, just ask me. I'll answer them all."
Chen and Liu were completely stunned. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yunze, "Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
After Xiao Yunze took Zhuque away, the two little guys also came out from the inner room.
Sui Sui had two small buns combed onto her head. She walked over and took Liu's hand, "Mother, why don't you say anything?"
Liu came back to her senses, squatted down and rubbed her daughter's head, smiling gently, "Sui Sui, dear, mother has something to say to your Aunt Chen, you and Brother Yun go into the inner room and play first, okay?"
Su Sui's eyes were filled with doubts. Under her mother's gaze, she nodded obediently, "Okay."
Xiaoyun came over obediently, took Suisui's hand and went into the inner room.
Liu stood up and grabbed Chen's hand. "Xiaoyun's mother, did you hear clearly just now? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said we can open a pastry shop in the city!"
Ever since Liu's husband passed away, Chen had rarely seen her so excited. She hurriedly said, "I heard it, it's true! We can open a shop and do business!"
Tears streamed down Liu's face. "Sister, it's been four years, four whole years. I've been taking care of Sui Sui and her grandmother. These days..."
Liu's crying made Chen feel very distressed. She hugged her and comforted her, "I know you've had a hard time these years, but you will get better."
"Finally..." Liu buried her head in her shoulder, her voice choked with sobs, "Finally, these hard days are coming to an end."
Chen patted her back and whispered, "I never thought the goddess would think so much about us. This kindness is truly something we can never repay. I only hope that the temple can be built quickly so that we can worship the goddess. From now on, we can go there every day to worship her."

After Xiao Yunze came out of Chen's house, he went to Aqiang's place.
At this time, Aqiang and Dachun were eating chili peppers...
Eat peppers raw.
When Xiao Yunze arrived, the two were sitting in the yard, their faces flushed.
Seeing Xiao Yunze, Aqiang and Dachun didn't care about anything else and immediately knelt down to pay their respects, "Your humble servants pay their respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xiao Yunze motioned for them to stand up, then looked at the two bowls of fresh chili peppers on the table. He was speechless for a moment, "What are you doing..."
"Your Highness, let's have a chili-eating competition to see who's the best!" Dachun's mouth was severely swollen, and his words were hard to hear. "Aqiang is almost losing!"
Ah Qiang seemed to be more tolerant of spicy food. Apart from his red face, there was no other change. He clasped his hands in front of him and said, "Your Highness, it's the season for chili peppers soon. I saw on my tablet that chili peppers are considered a seasoning, so I wanted to try and see how much chili peppers my body can tolerate. This way, I'll have a standard for how much chili peppers to use when cooking."
Xiao Yunze rubbed his index finger and thumb together, wondering whether he should ask Miss Song if she had any videos teaching how to make spicy dishes.
Zhuque stepped forward and said, "Master, I also want to taste what the peppers taste like. I saw them picking peppers two days ago, but I haven't tasted them yet."
Xiao Yunze waved his hand, signaling him to do as he pleased, "Go ahead, eat less."
Seeing this, Dachun immediately became excited, "Suzaku Envoy, come here, there's still some in the bowl, it's all washed, eat as much as you want!"
"Alright!" Zhuque rubbed his hands together and walked to the table. He looked at the long, bright red thing in the bowl, then glanced at Dachun's swollen lips. Suddenly, he hesitated and leaned close to Dachun's ear, "What's that taste like? Can you stand it?"
Dachun's face flushed red as he smiled harmlessly, "Don't worry, Suzaku Envoy, I guarantee you'll like the taste!"
Zhuque was skeptical, picked up a chili pepper and bit half of it.
In an instant, a tingling sensation exploded on the tip of the tongue!
Zhuque's eyes instantly turned red, and he chewed and swallowed the small piece of chili.
Here, Xiao Yunze was talking to Aqiang about reclaiming wasteland and growing more crops.
"Your Highness, do you mean to let me be responsible for these things?" A Qiang was flattered.
Xiao Yunze nodded, "That's right. If you do a good job, you will be fully responsible for Fengxian's grain business in the future. Don't let me down."
"Your Highness, I, a humble commoner..."
"A-choo!" A loud sneeze from the other side interrupted him.
Ah Qiang glanced over there and continued, "I will do my best and will never..."
"A-choo! A-choo!"
“A-choo——”
Sneeze came one after another, even Xiao Yunze couldn't help but look over there.
Zhuque's face was flushed, and he was frantically wiping his nose with a handkerchief and sneezing all the time.
Dachun, who was standing by, just stared at him motionlessly, completely stunned.
A Qiang took a few steps closer and asked, "Dachun, what is this Suzaku Envoy?"
Dachun shook his head dumbly, "I'm also puzzled. He ate chili peppers and suddenly became like this."
Xiao Yunze called out to Zhuque, "Didn't I tell you to eat less?"
Zhuque hurriedly shook his hands, "Master, I...A-choo!"
Another deafening sneeze!
Dachun couldn't bear it any longer and directly picked up the remaining half of the chili pepper on the table and spoke up for him, "Your Highness, the Suzaku Envoy ate half a chili pepper and suddenly became like this. Could he be poisoned?"
