The guests have been seated.

The first person to speak was the old lady of the Wei family.

"Haha, thank you all for coming to my birthday party. You are all friends of my children and grandchildren. I would like to thank you all here."

"You are so polite, old lady. You are the biggest birthday person this year."

"This is a jade turtle that our Chamber of Commerce found by chance. I hope the old lady lives a long life."

......

What followed was some businessmen flattering Madam Wei, and then introducing the birthday gifts they had brought.

"Grandma, Manager Xu brought something special today." Wei Nanchun said with a smile as he supported Old Madam Wei.

Xu Wenyan was yawning out of boredom at this time, and everyone's eyes were looking in his direction.

"Haa—cough cough." After Xu Wenyan noticed it, he quickly stood up, first bowed to Madam Wei, and then opened the wooden box containing the cake.

The cake was well protected. There were two longevity peaches, one big and one small, on the red cream, and a few leaves made of cream on the edge. It was simple and clear.

"Hahaha, I've heard from girl Wen that the food you cook is delicious and novel. Today I finally get to meet Shopkeeper Xu in person. It's really my honor."

Although Old Madam Wei didn't recognize this food, when her granddaughter-in-law was pregnant, she always asked to eat the food made by Manager Xu.

After a while, she tasted a lot of it and found it tasted really good.

“Madam Wei, you are too kind to me. This is a new pastry I came up with. It is called a cake and is specially designed for birthdays.

This cake requires eggs, which symbolizes the day we were born.

It’s also a dessert, which means a happy life.”

Xu Wenyan brought the cake over.

Just by opening the box, the sweet aroma of the cake filled the banquet.

"The color of this cake made by Shopkeeper Xu is so beautiful."

"Yes, those two fairy peaches are so lifelike!"

"Have you noticed that since this thing called cake came out, there has been a sweet smell."

"It really is."

There was no such thing as pigments in ancient times. If one wanted to add color to food, the only way was to rely on some colorful plants.

However, the ancients had limited specific knowledge of these plants and did not know whether many of them were edible, so they did not dare to add them into food.

One reason is fear of wasting food, and the other is poisoning.

Therefore, Xu Wenyan's cake was extremely exquisite in the eyes of people at that time.

Old Madam Wei loved the fragrance so much just by smelling it.

Xu Wenyan handed a small wooden sword to Madam Wei: "Madam, this birthday boy gets the first piece of cake."

"Okay." Old Man Wei smiled kindly, slowly cut a piece of cake and began to taste it.

Everyone was drooling below.

Everyone wants to know what it tastes like.

Madam Wei above did not speak, but just kept nodding: "Well, it tastes smooth, delicate, and sweet. It is truly an unprecedented taste.

The pastry inside is soft and dense, it is really the best thing I have ever eaten."

Others may not know, but Wei Caiwen really knows Grandma’s appetite.

She finished the cake in just a few bites. It looked really delicious.

Mrs. Wen in the audience could no longer hold back.

"My husband, Shopkeeper Xu has such a good thing, but he didn't inform me right away!"

Seeing his wife pouting in anger, Wei Caiwen smiled and said, "It's still early for your birthday. Didn't Shopkeeper Xu say that this cake is for birthdays?"

"Then I can just move up my birthday, and after the banquet you can ask Shopkeeper Xu to order one for you."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to celebrate your birthday in advance."

Mrs. Wen put her hands on her hips and said, "Who said I passed it? I passed it to Zhimaqiu!"

Zhimaqiu is a cow cat raised by Mrs. Wen.

"Oh, I don't know if Ah Ren has arrived yet." Mrs. Wen sighed, holding her chin.

"Aren likes to play a lot, let him be."

Soon, the cake was distributed to everyone present, although each person only had a small piece on their plate.

But everyone who tasted it praised it highly.

As soon as the cake was given to Wang Zeren, he couldn't wait to eat it.

With just one mouthful, his eyes lit up: "Xu Wenyan! You are not fair."

Xu Wenyan looked at him speechlessly: "How am I unfair, young master?"

"You can make such sweet pastries, but you made red bean buns for me." In order to express his dissatisfaction, Wang Zeren snatched away Xu Wenyan's portion.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have made red bean buns for you in the first place."

Chen Sanlin gritted his teeth and whispered to Xu Wenyan: "Wife, when did you make red bean buns for this guy? How come I didn't know?"

Looking at Chen Sanlin's fake smile, Xu Wenyan swallowed and cursed inwardly: "It's over, now he's exposed, damn it, I should sew Wang Zeren's mouth shut."

"Haha...haha, Brother Chen, please listen to my explanation."

At this time, Zhang Chengjin smiled and said, "Cousin, you are so mean. Why didn't you make one when you came to our house to celebrate your birthday?

What a pity, otherwise I could have tasted it earlier."

At this point, Zhang Chengjin also understood something. There was something wrong with General Wang.

Xu Wenyan remained silent throughout the entire birthday banquet, and Chen Sanlin glared at Xu Wenyan with a look of grievance.

Wang Zeren looked at him resentfully.

As for Zhang Chengjin, he looked at Xu Wenyan gently.

This is really enough. Xu Wenyan really wants to leave here quickly.

He has been killing alone for more than 20 years. How could he have ever seen such a scene?

"Manager Xu!" Mrs. Wen came over angrily with Wei Caiwen.

By this time the banquet was almost done.

"Mrs. Wen!" Xu Wenyan stood up quickly as if he had seen a savior.

"Okay, Manager Xu, you're telling me about such delicious food just now!" If she hadn't tasted it, Madam Wen would have been just a little bit resentful.

But after tasting the delicious cake, she was really angry: "I only got to eat a little bit!"

"My wife." Wei Caiwen gently pulled Madam Wen towards him.

"I just succeeded in making this. This cake is extremely complicated to make, and I don't intend to sell it."

Mrs. Wen naturally understood that such exquisite and delicious food could probably only be eaten by the royal family every day.

"Manager Xu, please make me a smaller one. I really haven't had enough."

Wei Caiwen had no choice but to say, "Manager Xu, price is not a problem."

"Okay, I'll try my best." Xu Wenyan nodded: "By the way, Master Wei, I still want to tell you something."
