"Dad, let's not go to the store so openly. What if we get picked out?" Wang expressed her concerns.

Given my sister-in-law's current temperament, she can really do it.

Before this, the eldest daughter Tong Pandi had kicked them out of the house.

The sister-in-law now is no different from Tong Panddi.

"You're right. Let's take a look at the situation from a distance." Tong Fusheng agreed with Wang's idea.

On the way to Yanzhi Lane, you can occasionally meet customers carrying cakes.

Tong Fusheng recognized the packaging box with the words "Taohua Dessert" on it. Tong Fusheng deduced that Taohua Dessert's business was even better than he thought.

As soon as you walk into Yanzhi Lane, you can smell a rich fragrance.

It's the aroma of freshly baked cakes.

The hungry Tong Fusheng almost drooled at the smell.

From a distance, I could see people queuing in the shop in the middle, and some people coming out of the shop carrying pastries.

It seems that it is peach blossom dessert.

"Dad, isn't that Brother Dashu?"

Tong Zhaodi was sharp-eyed and saw Gu Dashu distributing mung bean soup to customers in the queue.

Since it’s Dashu, it must be my aunt’s shop.

There are more customers than expected, and there is a long queue.

Tong Fusheng became excited.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my sister-in-law is so lucky. This shop has so many customers." Wang's face was filled with jealousy and envy.

How nice it would be for her to have this great fortune.

"Be careful not to be discovered by Dashu." Tong Fusheng said.

They walked forward a few steps and stood next to the pillar of Yihong Tower, where they could just see Peach Blossom Dessert.

At this time, a servant shouted loudly: "Taohua Desserts has brought a cake to Miss Yanhong. Wish Yanhong a happy 18th birthday."

Then a man came to Yihong Tower carrying a gauze cover from Taohua Dessert.

Tong Zhijie recognized the man as Qin Qingyou from Qinghe Bay, so he hid behind a pillar, not wanting to be discovered by Qin Qingyou.

A mother and several servant girls walked out of the building where they were standing. The mother ordered the servant to take the cake from Qin Qingyou's hand and smiled with his teeth showing. This was the birthday cake that the patron ordered for Yanhong.

Tong Fusheng, Wang and others looked towards the net and saw a transparent gauze covering a huge cake that they had never seen before. The cake was red and white, and decorated with all kinds of beautiful flowers.

You know what, the pastry is really beautiful.

Qin Qingyou handed the cake to Yihonglou’s mother and returned to the shop.

Tong Fusheng pulled Yihonglou's mother and asked, "Mom, what kind of pastry is this? But is it ordered from Taohua Dessert?"

Mom looked Tong Fusheng up and down, and from the hat on his head and his wrinkled clothes she concluded that he was an unsuccessful scholar.

It’s good to be an unsuccessful scholar. The more unsuccessful he is, the more he likes to come to Yihong Tower to find a confidante.

"This is a birthday cake, made by Peach Blossom Desserts. You ask this, could it be that you have taken a fancy to one of our girls and want to order one for a competition?" Mom smiled and continued to talk to Tong Fusheng.

Tong Fusheng wanted to, but he had neither talent for poetry nor money. His good looks, which he was proud of, also aged with the passing of time, and he could not attract any confidantes.

Wang was very displeased with the gracefulness of the mother of Yihonglou, but she wanted to know more about Taohua Dessert, so she asked: "Excuse me, mother, how long has Taohua Dessert been open? Is this shop really supported by Widow Tong alone?"

Wang thought her sister-in-law was not that capable and suspected that Tong Huaqiong had hooked up with some wealthy man.

After all, my sister-in-law was a beauty in the village when she was young. She has been hidden in the Gu family for so many years. Now that her husband is dead, she is getting more and more beautiful. The way she dressed this morning could be Chen Sufen's sworn brother. You can't tell that she is already a grandmother.

It's normal to be favored by the rich man.

I heard that some rich men just like pretty widows.

The mother of Yihonglou glanced at Wang and said, "Your question is very strange. Of course, it was Widow Tong who made it up. Do you think Taohua Dessert is like our Yihonglou, which only serves men?"

Wang couldn't believe it.

Tong Zhijie stood behind Wang and looked at the girl behind his mother. The girl gave Tong Zhijie a wink.

Tong Zhijie's eyes were wide open.

The mother of Yihonglou reached out her hand to pull Tong Zhijie, and said enthusiastically: "Brother, come to our Yihonglou for a drink?"

Wang slapped her mother's hand away, with a look of surprise on her face. She knew that it was impossible for her to seduce her son.

Mom turned around and invited the girls to go into Yihong Tower.

Wang said to Tong Fusheng, "This place is not good. We can't corrupt people here. Let's find another place."

After saying that, he took Tong Zhijie and left.

"I remember there is a restaurant diagonally opposite the girl's shop. It's called Fenglelou. I've been there before. The owner is very kind and provides free tea and melon seeds. Why don't we go there?" Tong Fusheng said.

At this time, the family of four was hot and thirsty, and wanted to find a place to cool down and drink water.

The family arrived at the door of Fengle Tower, and fearing that they would be discovered by Gu Dashu, they slipped into the restaurant like thieves.

The sweet aroma of Taohua Dessert's pastries and the aroma of wine and meat from Fengle Building intertwined together, and Tong Fusheng and Tong Zhijie felt that they could not hold on any longer.

Tong Fusheng regretted giving Gu Dahan two taels of silver yesterday.

If I had the two taels of silver, I could have prepared a table of wine and food in Fengle Tower.

"Wow, your shop is really big. It's spacious inside, and there are many employees."

Wang looked at Taohua Dessert through the window of Fengle Building, feeling indignant. Her sister-in-law was so rich now, but she started to be stingy with the Tong family.

"You can't tell at ordinary times, but Taohua is actually so capable." Tong Zhijie saw Gu Taohua smiling at customers in the shop, and her usual sullen face was gone.

Shopkeeper Qian happened to pass by and when he heard the girl Tong Fusheng mentioned, he deduced that this was Tong Huaqiong's brother and his family.

So he walked over enthusiastically and asked, "Excuse me, are you a relative of Tong, the owner of Peach Blossom Dessert?"

Tong Fusheng was startled and thought that it was Tong Huaqiong who sent people to chase him away.

Wang continued, "We are the brother and sister-in-law of Shopkeeper Tong."

Listen, the sister-in-law is now the shopkeeper Tong, what a cool title.

Wang's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Tong Zhaodi said, "We came to see our aunt, but she was too busy. We were also covered in dust after running around, so we decided not to go to the store first and wait until there were fewer people around before giving her a surprise."

Shopkeeper Qian already had a good impression of Tong Huaqiong, and when he saw Tong Huaqiong's brother and sister-in-law, he wanted to show it off.

So I asked the waiter to serve tea, fruits and pastries.

Shopkeeper Qian said enthusiastically: "Shopkeeper Tong and I have some friendship, so I will naturally entertain Shopkeeper Tong's brother and sister-in-law."

Tong Zhijie couldn't bear it any longer and stuffed the cake into his mouth.

Shopkeeper Qian said, "This pastry is from Peach Blossom Dessert."

Tong Fusheng ate two pieces of cake, but couldn't suppress his hunger. He wanted to ask for some food, but he was afraid that people would look down on him as a scholar.

Shopkeeper Qian has been doing business for many years and is very good at understanding people's hearts. He immediately saw through Tong Fusheng's intention.

With a wave of his hand, he served wine and food to Tong Fusheng's family.

After all, he is Shopkeeper Tong's brother, so he is happy to please him and entertain him.
