After school, when it was time for lunch, Li Chengjin told his wife the results of the test.

Yu Suihuan's lips curled up, but that smile looked a little vulgar.

Just by looking at Xie Zhanbei's size, I can tell that he's not bad, so I feel relieved.

"If I'm interested in him, then we can try dating him. If not, then we can just treat it as wishful thinking."

"I made some new mooncakes with egg yolk and peas today. I'll bring them to you for a try."

Li Chengjin doesn't really like eating cakes, but he likes the ones made by his wife.

Back in the kitchen, she cut the mooncakes of various flavors into small pieces and gave a small piece to every person who came to eat, saying that they could taste the new cakes for free.

Today is the first day that mooncakes go on sale. There are more than ten flavors alone, and we started preparing for them yesterday afternoon.

Plates of mooncakes were placed on a shelf not far from the dishes.

The fragrance of the mooncakes is so strong that everyone who walks in will turn around to look.

Seeing the exquisitely shaped and identical mooncakes, there was amazement in their eyes.

"What kind of pastry is this, shopkeeper? It looks delicious."

Yu Sui walked forward with a smile.

"Sir, you have a good eye. These are mooncakes. They are made with a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors who were imperial chefs. These mooncakes were once exclusively supplied to the royal court of the previous dynasty."

"Not only is the workmanship exquisite, but the ingredients are also extremely complex and difficult to make. The taste is also much better than traditional mooncakes. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and whether you eat it at home or give it as a gift, it is a very face-saving thing."

When they heard that it was a pastry recipe passed down from the royal chefs of the previous dynasty, they all became very interested.

Since they were all wealthy, they immediately picked out a few of their favorite flavors.

Some planned to take it home and have it as a midnight snack when they were tired of studying at night, while others couldn't wait to open one and taste it immediately.

"Oh my god, this mooncake is so delicious. What's the filling in it? It's so soft and sticky."

As the little fat man exclaimed, everyone around him looked over to him!

"This is pumpkin stuffed, and it's made with a lot of secret ingredients. It was one of the favorite flavors of the Imperial Concubine in the past."

When Yu Suihuan advertises, he just says it out loud.

She didn’t know whether the imperial concubine loved it or not, but the filling was definitely delicious. When everyone heard that the imperial concubine liked it, they quickly bought some to try it for themselves!

Then people with different tastes began to promote their favorite flavors.

Some support black and white sesame seeds, some prefer five-nut seeds, and some like date paste and red bean paste.

Many people also like egg yolk and pea yellow mooncakes, and some people also like mixed sugar mooncakes without fillings.

For a while, in addition to the good sales of food, these mooncakes also became something that students rushed to buy. Hundreds of mooncakes took a whole day to make, but they were all sold out in just half an hour.

There were some that I didn’t buy, and I couldn’t help swallowing my saliva when I saw others eating.

"Boss, will this mooncake be available tomorrow? My grandmother loves it the most."

"Yes, yes, of course. I'll make some with less sugar tomorrow, but it's okay for older people to eat more."

The popularity of mooncakes far exceeded Yu Suihuan’s expectations.

"Boss, you must make more of the mooncakes that you mentioned that are suitable for the elderly. I will buy more and have my servant deliver them to my home as soon as possible. My grandparents will definitely be happy when the time comes."

Most of the students who come here to study come from wealthy and powerful families. The more powerful the family, the more they value filial piety.

As long as you can please the ancestors or the old lady in the family, the benefits you can get are much greater than giving mooncakes.

Everyone was scrambling to order more of these not-so-sweet mooncakes, preparing to take them home to honor their elders at home.

As class was about to start and everyone had left, Yu Suihuan did a rough count and found that there were several hundred mooncakes ordered.

It looks like there is no need to rest in the afternoon, everyone has to work hard to make mooncakes. Given the popularity of the food, what she prepared is far from enough.

Whether it is molds or ovens, we need to make more.

When making mooncakes in the afternoon, Yu Suihuan also made a lot of mooncakes that were steamed instead of baked.

The mooncakes have a crystal clear skin, and the middle is mostly filled with edible petals of osmanthus, rose, lotus, etc. The petals can be faintly seen through the skin. They are not only delicious but also beautiful.

This kind of mooncake is more suitable for ladies or young ladies from wealthy families.

Among the students who go to school here, there are also many older sisters and younger sisters, so there is no problem with the sales of these mooncakes.

After making these mooncakes with flower petal fillings, Yu Suihuan asked Xiao Cui to send a lot of them to Chen Suyue first.

The pregnant woman always devotes herself to her affairs, so in return, she should be nicer to others.

She also specially added some spiritual spring water to the mooncakes she sent, which is beneficial to both adults and the baby in the belly.

When Li Chengjin got out of school in the evening, Yu Suihuan prepared to ask him to bring some more mooncakes to the county magistrate.

If she wants Yueyuan Poetry Club to use the cakes and mooncakes she made, she must get the approval of the county magistrate, and the mooncakes must be given as a gift.

He did not dare to neglect his wife's request for a moment, and went to meet Yu Hongshen with a box of mooncakes.

At this time, the county magistrate was worried and anxious at home, and he didn't even have dinner.

This Yueyuan Poetry Festival is different from previous ones. Several imperial envoys have been sent from the capital, and they just delivered a letter to him.

Several imperial envoys said that they had admired the poetry gathering for a long time and wanted to join in the fun this year.

These are officials from the capital city. On the surface, they are inspecting river affairs in various places, but the actual purpose is needless to say, everyone knows it.

The present emperor is incompetent and obsessed with alchemy. The princes of various places have their own troops and political power is firmly in their hands. There is a possibility of forcing the emperor to abdicate at any time.

These imperial envoys came to inspect river affairs openly, but secretly they came to see if the princes from various places had any ill intentions so that they could go back and report to the emperor.

It was just a fight between gods, and the ones who got hurt the most were small people like them. If they didn't do anything right, they would easily become cannon fodder, and several imperial envoys would have to stay here for several days.

How to entertain and how to satisfy these imperial envoys these days has become a difficult problem.

Normally, it should be the officials in the prefecture who receive the imperial envoy, but Songshan Academy is here, and he happened to take office this year.

Yu Hongshen sighed, what bad luck!

"Master, Master Li is here and is asking for an audience outside the door."
