Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Today her mother was preparing a birthday banquet for Jiang Shuying, saying she would invite the most famous opera troupe in the city. Turning around and seeing her, her face darkened: "Don't be an eyesore here. Go back to your own room. Don't let anyone see you with such a dead face. It feels like the whole family owes you something."

Jiang Mingzhu also felt aggrieved. She remembered her childhood clearly. When she was three years old, she coughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. Her mother thought it was troublesome to take care of her, so she sent her directly to her grandmother's house in the countryside.

If her grandmother hadn't climbed over mountains and crossed rivers to collect herbs and sold her jewelry to buy ginseng soup, how could she have survived until now?

But now, the person who was thrown out has become a burden, and Jiang Shuying, who was kept by his side, has become his sweetheart.

In previous years, her grandmother would cook a bowl of longevity noodles for her.

This year she specifically counted the days, but all the lights and decorations at home were for Jiang Shuying, and no one remembered that she was also the one who should celebrate her birthday.

But she didn't expect Bai Wanwan to remember it. Bai Wanwan took Jiang Mingzhu's hand and said, "Sister, I have a gift for you!"

Bai Wanwan clapped her hands, and two servants came in pushing a wooden rack with wheels, on which was a large three-layer cake.

The outer layer is covered with snow-white cream, which is filled with pink and yellow cream flowers.

There are colorful flags on the top and a card with "Happy Birthday Jiang Mingzhu" written on it in the middle. The red background and gold letters are particularly eye-catching.

The cake is also decorated with fresh strawberries and blueberries, and sliced ​​kiwi fruit is arranged in a circle, with juicy flesh.

The bottom layer of cake was covered with finely chopped colorful sugar particles, which sparkled when illuminated by the light.

Jiang Mingzhu had never seen anything like it before. The maids and servants around her craned their necks, and some even whispered, "It smells so sweet, it's tempting. It's all so colorful, is it edible?"

"What on earth is this cake? It looks really fresh." The noble lady with double spiral buns stood on tiptoe to look around, her golden hairpin swaying slightly with her movements.

A girl lowered her voice:

"Don't you know? The newly opened Western pastry shop in Bianjing City specializes in making this kind of birthday cake.

My family sent someone to place an order the day before yesterday, and the shopkeeper said that they only make three a day and we have to place the order half a month in advance.

I heard that this was served at the Zhenguo Mansion’s daughter’s birthday banquet, and everyone was shocked when it appeared.”

Another noble lady in a moon-white skirt nodded:

"My cousin got one for her birthday last month. The cream melted in my mouth, and there were candied cherries in the cake core.

She even saved a piece for me to try, and after finishing it she wanted to lick the plate clean.”

All the ladies in the room stared at the three-layer cake, and their throats made sounds at the same time.

Someone subconsciously licked their lips: "Is this cake really that amazing? It's just a few pieces of cream stacked together."

The noble lady wearing jade sneered:

"Last month, the Duke of Ying held a banquet at his residence, and the princess specially ordered a cake from a shop in the west of the city at a high price. Even the Crown Princess praised the cake as exquisite.

It is so smooth and creamy that it feels like a cloud in your mouth. The cream is sweet but not greasy, and paired with the jam, it tastes wonderful.

The ladies, adorned with jewels and precious stones, breathed faster, their eyes glued to the cake.

The girl in the pomegranate-red skirt grabbed Bai Wanwan's sleeve and said, "Miss Bai, can I have a taste? Just a small corner..."

Bai Wanwan said calmly:

“Of course you can try it, but for some people who like to make fun of others, it’s better not to look good.

This cake is so delicate, I'm afraid it'll upset my stomach if it gets into my mouth, so I'd better save it!"

Lin Zao Zao looked at her and said:

"If my sister doesn't want to give us food, then just say so.

We don’t necessarily have to try it, and we’re afraid of getting an upset stomach.”

Su Niantang sneered:

"That's right! Don't think that anything will happen just because you bring out some food?

We are not new to the world. What kind of birthday cake is this? What's so delicious about it? I won't eat it even if you give it to me."

The young ladies nearby quickly responded:

"Isn't it? We don't care about such fancy things. Besides, who knows whether these things are delicious?

Don't eat it, it would be terrible if you get a stomachache."

"Humph! If you're afraid of getting a stomachache, then don't eat it! I'm not afraid."

The round-faced girl looked at Bai Wanwan with a smile and said:

"I'm Lu Zhiyuan from the Duke of Rong's Mansion, and I've heard of you a long time ago.

I am two years older than you, so you can call me sister!"

The Rongguo Mansion can be considered a prominent family, but Lu Zhiyuan is famous for his love of delicious food.

Bai Wanwan smiled and said:

"Then I'll have someone cut the cake for you. How about you try it too?

This cake was made in my pastry shop."

Lu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "So that snack shop is yours! You're really amazing."

Anyway, these people will know it sooner or later, and Bai Wanwan didn't hide it. She liked eating cakes and snacks in her previous life.

So she decided to open a pastry shop like this, which not only sells birthday cakes, but also many other varieties.

Bai Wanwan directly asked people to cut the cake, and everyone who had not provoked her before had a share.

Soon everyone started eating. Lu Zhiyuan nodded as she ate: "Sister Wanwan, this birthday cake from your shop is so delicious, isn't it?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and said:

“The shop not only sells birthday cakes, but also various other snacks.

If you go, just mention my name and I'll give you a 8% discount."

"What? What discount? Why don't I understand?" Lu Zhiyuan was stunned.

Bai Wanwan explained:

"Just tell me my name, Bai Wanwan, and I'll give you a 8% discount on all the snacks in my shop.

"A 8% discount means that if you spend one tael of silver, which is one thousand coins, I will only charge you 800 coins."

Su Niantang next to him said disdainfully:

"Oh my! I thought you were so generous! It's just some snacks!

If you want me to, I'll just give it away. Why bother with the 20% discount? Won't it lower my worth?"

Bai Wanwan looked at Su Niantang with a half-smile and said:

“I heard that you and Lin Zao Zao opened many shops, right?

There are all kinds of shops, including pastry shops, silk shops, and all kinds of shops. How about this!

How about letting everyone feel your enthusiasm as well?"

Su Niantang didn't expect Bai Wanwan to say that, and just stood there in a daze.

Then I heard Lin Zao Zao sigh and said, "Sister, you know me. My foundation is weak and I can't compare to your wealth. How can we, from a small family, compare with you?"

Bai Wanwan looked at Lin Zaozao with a half-smile and said, "Are you blaming me for being rich?"

"Sister, don't be so sarcastic in every word you say. I just think that since you are so rich now, why do you only give others a 8% discount?" Lin Zao Zao said softly.

The group of young ladies nearby also nodded and said, "That's right! To put it bluntly, it's just that you're shortsighted. You want to be a good person, but you're reluctant to do so."

"Yeah! I heard Bai Wanwan is quite rich. When she played crickets with them, she won over one million taels."
