After returning from the village, other than preparing medicine for Ming Yuchen every day, Shen Zhu spent the rest of his time carefully making the pastries that he wanted to sell.

On this day, she took advantage of the time while the children were taking a nap to get some ingredients from the Cloud Pavilion. She planned to make a few test products first, and on the way, she took a trip to Hundred Fragrance House to discuss with Zhou Muqing on the price of these pastries.

The decorations of the shop were almost done. It shouldn't be long before it would open up.

Shen Zhu had already tried out a lot of pastries before, and today she added some snacks, such as potato chips, fried dough twist, and beans.

In Shen Zhu's previous life, Cloud Cake was still very popular among women.

In order to make this Cloud Cake, she had prepared glutinous rice some time ago. After stir-frying, she ground it into powder and stored it in a shady warehouse.

Although it had not been stored for long, a portion of the powder was still brought out for the pastries today.

Shen Zhu first placed the cooked glutinous rice powder on the clean table, then dug a small hole in the middle of the table, adding the wet syrup that was already prepared yesterday, and quickly rubbed it with both hands to make it into a cake powder.

Then, he took out the mold and filled it with half of the cake powder. He added the mixed black sesame seeds, and then added the remaining cake powder. After shaving the surface, he pressed it tightly and compacted it, covering it with a piece of white paper.

Remove the mold from the steamer, buckle on the clean board, sprinkle with cooked glutinous rice powder, cool and cut into thin slices.

After Shen Zhu finished making the Cloud Piece Cake, she tried cooking all the other pastries and snacks again. There was also the pastries that she had tried last time.

After they were all done, she put some of the pastries into the basket, while she took the rest to the table outside.

Shen Zhu planned to bring the pastries that were placed on the table outside to see if Ah Qiu was home today. Unexpectedly, because of the smell of the fried potato chips, Ah Qiu ran over.

"Sister-in-law, are you cooking something delicious again?" I could smell the perfume of your house from a distance. "

Ah Qiu entered the room in a flash. When he saw the various pastries on the table, his eyes immediately lit up.

"I was just about to say that I should go to your room to see if you were home. These are all the pastries that I just made, take them and eat." Shen Zhu sat by the side of the table, poured himself a cup of tea and took two sips.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Ah Qiu swallowed her saliva, and immediately grabbed a fresh pastry to taste. As for the potato chips, she only ate two, she knew that they were the favorite of Zi Yi and Jingshu, and if she were to eat them, the two children would be extremely anxious.

As the woman was eating the pastries, her sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a cloth basket on the short table in front of the kitchen door. She mumbled, "Sister-in-law, are you going to go to Hundred Fragrance House? Why don't I help you look after the children? "

"I just made some pastries and want to go to the Hundred Fragrance House to look for Boss Zhou. I need to set the price as soon as possible."

Shen Zhu nodded, seeing that Ah Qiu's mouth was filled with pastries and that her cheeks were especially cute, he could not help but laugh: "Eat slower."

"Do you have something important to do today? If there's nothing else, I'll have to trouble you to look after the three children for me. "

Shen Zhu said as he poured a cup of water and passed it over.

Ah Qiu drank it all in one breath before swallowing the Cloud Piece Cake in his mouth.

The soft and white pastries were really too tasty, and they were so sweet and thin. She only stuffed two more pieces into her mouth. Unexpectedly, she almost choked on herself.

"Sister-in-law, what do I have to do?" Furthermore, I took a break from school today, so I did half a day's work in the morning. In the afternoon, Mother allowed me to come out and play, so you can rest assured. Ruanruan, Yi'er and Shuer all have me to watch over the place for you. "

Ah Qiu caught his breath and quickly said.

"Then I'll be troubling you. I'll be right back."

Since Ah Qiu was free, Shen Zhu planned to go early and return to the Hundred Fragrance House first while carrying the pastries.

"Sister-in-law is so good to me, cooking delicious food for me all day, such a small matter, no matter how troublesome it is, it's not troublesome at all. Moreover, I like Ruanruan to not care about it too much, I wish I could take her along every day."

Ah Qiu spent the entire day with the three children, and their relationship was very good.

"Then I'll be leaving first. You shouldn't eat too much of those fried eggs, and I'm warning you not to eat too much either, Yi'er and Shuer. It's easy for you to get angry."

Shen Zhu gave a few instructions before he took his basket out.

Hundred Fragrance House.

When Shen Zhu carried the basket to Hundred Fragrance House s, he happened to be there too.

"Boss Zhou."

As soon as she entered the inn, she saw Zhou Muqing standing at the counter and giving orders to the Manager Song.

Zhou Muqing turned his head and saw Shen Zhu mocking: "How did Lady Shen find the time to come to my place today?"

Ever since Shen Zhu set up the shop, he had been extremely busy. Other than a few moments ago when he mentioned the name of the shop, he had not been able to see anyone. He even had some shop decorations that he couldn't find even if he wanted to.

"In these few days, I have already thought of what Yuzhu Pavilion would sell after he opened his shop, and today, I have made some experimental products, so I specially brought them for Boss Zhou to taste, and also gave a price."

Shen Zhu casually placed the basket on the empty table beside the counter.

It was now the middle of the afternoon, and there weren't many people eating in the restaurant. There were only one or two customers sitting around the corner, drinking and chatting.

Therefore, Zhou Muqing did not bring anyone upstairs, and directly sat at the table where Shen Zhu had placed the basket.

"This is horseshoe cake, osmanthus cake, and hawthorn cake."

Zhou Muqing saw the first plate Shen Zhu carried out and immediately recognized the various pastries.

"Boss Zhou has good eyesight." Shen Zhu laughed, and then took out the remaining plates.

"These are potato chips, and …"

Zhou Muqing only recognized one of the potato chips that Shen Zhu had made before at the Hundred Fragrance House, but he was unable to recognize the other ones that were even more exquisite than the last.

"This is a fried dough twist, a silver roll, and an egg …" Shen Zhu placed all the items on the table, then placed the basket by his feet and sat down on a bench.

"Then, what is this white and soft called?"

Zhou Muqing first twisted a thin piece of Cloud Cake, eating it with a sweet taste.

"This is called Cloud Piece Cake." Shen Zhu explained.

"Manager Song, come and try it too.

"Seeing that he had brought so many pastries, and that one extra person tasting it would allow him to get an additional evaluation, Shen Zhu called Manager Song over as well.

Hearing that, Zhou Muqing nodded his head slightly, drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, and said: "Since Lady Shen has said so, then if you don't try, then doesn't that mean you aren't giving face to Lady Shen?"

When the Manager Song heard this, he immediately went forward.

He had tasted Shen Zhu's cooking skills before, so even if she hadn't said it, he would only want to try the pastry that would make people hungry just by looking at it. But his boss had yet to say anything, how could he dare to go and try it?

Manager Song had osmanthus cake, but when he ate it for the first time, he felt that this osmanthus cake was different from the ones he normally ate. He was slightly shocked, and could not help but lower his head to look at the osmanthus cake in his hands.

"What does Manager Song think of the taste?" Shen Zhu saw the change in Manager Song's expression and asked after seeing that he had finished eating.
