Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

"Wait a minute, Mrs. Li, you haven't finished speaking yet. What's missing? Could it be the flower cake? You can just buy and eat that thing on weekdays, it's not elegant."

The flatterers rambled here and there before dropping the topic again.

"Of course it's not a flower cake, but a birthday cake! Our Yan's Pastry Shop in Jiangnan County is just a branch. The real main store is in Shuangqiao Town, Jiashe County. I heard it was opened by a woman, and all the pastries in it are She made it herself, and no one else has ever heard of it. Moreover, the birthday cake she made is very popular with the only daughter of the magistrate of Jiashe County. It is very popular there. Who can eat cake on their birthday? It will make a bunch of people jealous.”

"Yes, yes, I've heard that too. I wanted to ask someone to help me buy one, but it turned out that I had to pre-order it, and it was scheduled until the end of the year. I have never seen anything that I can't buy with money."

"I've also made arrangements. My little girl's birthday is at the end of the year. When it's her birthday, I'll invite you all to come and taste it together."

"The relationship is good, I will definitely go. I don't know if the magistrate has ordered a cake for the old lady."

“…”

The topic revolved around cake again.

"What cake?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded from behind Yan Xia.

A man wearing a sapphire blue official uniform came forward with seven or eight official servants.

"Mom, are you happy today?"

This person is Xuzhi County.

"Happy? What's fun without cake?"

Mrs. Xu was praised by this group of people for being very comfortable. When she heard that there was a cake that she had never eaten before, she felt that her face was being trampled under their feet, and her whole face fell down.

Mrs. Li, who was talking too much just now, turned pale and was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed in apology.

"Cake? What cake?" Xu Zhixian looked confused.

"Mr. Magistrate, the cake is sold by Yan's pastry shop. I heard that it can only be eaten on birthdays. Light a candle and make a wish. If you are sincere, your wish will come true. It is very popular among the nobles in Jiashu County." Others answered for him. .

"Oh, I haven't heard of that. Mom, if you want to eat it, my son will buy it for you next year."

No matter how considerate Xu Zhixian is, he is still a straight man, so naturally he doesn't understand women's desire to compare.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xu snorted coldly.

The atmosphere was cold.

At this time, Yan Xia stepped forward. "I have met the county magistrate, Mrs. Xu. I wish Mrs. Xu a life as long as Nanshan Mountain, blessings as good as the East Sea, good health, as long as the moon, as high as the scorching sun, and she will stay younger as she lives!!"

"Who are you?" Xu Zhixian asked blankly.

Mrs. Xu didn't even raise her eyebrows, just treating Yan Xia as nothing.

"I am the shopkeeper Yan of Yan's pastry shop. I learned that Mrs. Xu was born, so I came from Jiashe County with a birthday cake to celebrate her birthday."

This statement came out.

Everything fell silent.

Then, the sound was like a mess.

"Shopkeeper Yan? She is the shopkeeper Yan of Yan's pastry shop? Oh my god, she came in person. I guess what's in this box is a cake."

"Oh, let me just say that Mrs. Xu is very lucky. This cake came to us on its own, haha."

"Mrs. Xu, today we are going to take advantage of you. I have to take a good look at what this birthday cake looks like and whether it tastes good."

"Open it quickly and take a look..."

"........."

Even the arrogant and unattainable Mrs. Xu opened her eyelids and looked over.

"You're polite, open it and let me take a look." She said to Yan Xia.

"Yes, open it quickly and show it to my mother." Xu Zhixian also said hurriedly.

Yan Xia saw everyone's eyes turned to her.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and opened the box.

She took out the cake and placed it on the table in front of Mrs. Xu.

I saw that the cake had two layers, and there were several gold ingots placed on the first layer. It looked like it was real. Madam Xu’s eyes were bright, and Magistrate Xu also had a deep smile.

The second floor is larger than the first floor, but no patterns can be seen.

Yan Xia quickly put in the candles.

Mrs. Xu was in her 60th birthday and she gave birth late.

And Xu Zhixian is about the same age as her.

So candle is sixty-two words.

"Next, I will present a birthday song to the old lady. I also ask the old lady to hold her hands together, close her eyes and make a wish. Just think of what you want. Don't say it out after you have made the wish. It will not work if you say it. Just put out the candle.”

Mrs. Xu obediently obeyed.

She held it with both hands.

Put it on the table, eyes closed.

"I wish you longevity and happiness, I wish you a happy birthday~ I wish you peace day and night, I wish you good health every year~ I wish you a happy birthday..."

After more than two minutes of singing, Yan Xiage sang several times before she opened her eyes and blew out the candle.

"call--"

Yan Xia complained crazily in her heart.

Really greedy.

She kept her face low. After pulling out the two candles, she supported Mrs. Xu's hand to hold the bamboo pieces.

"Next, please ask Mrs. Xu to take the bamboo piece and pull it up."

Everyone was so curious that they approached one after another.

Mrs. Xu's heart was extremely swollen.

She obediently grabbed the bamboo piece and pulled it up.

I saw two thin ropes under the bamboo pieces, with banknotes stuck on them.

It wasn't until Mrs. Xu got tired of pulling that the ropes were pulled all the way, ten pieces in total.

One hundred taels each.

Including gold ingots, it is close to one thousand two hundred taels.

It's really a big deal.

The attitudes of Xuzhi County and Mrs. Xu became even more friendly.

Especially Mrs. Xu, with her face raised, the corners of her mouth were raised at this moment.

It's just that the wrinkles that have been rising all year round stay deeply on the face, making people look mean and unapproachable.

Although Xu Wenyan plundered a lot of people's fat and oil, he had to offer it as an offering. While others ate meat, he drank soup. In addition, the mansion had to support so many servants, and his son was still a dandy, spending money lavishly.

He is also short of money.

Even if the Meng family sends money from time to time, who would think it's too much money.

One thousand two hundred taels is not a small amount, it is enough for his family to spend several months.

You know, the one who came to give gifts today only gave two hundred taels.

Most of them gave some cloth and jewelry to his mother, and he didn't need them.

The money was sent to his heart.

"A little trick, if you like it, Madam. This layer of cake is for viewing. You can eat it, but it's just stained with money, so let's just eat the second layer."

Yan Xia picked up the first layer and put it aside.

The second layer is also exposed to people.

On the huge cake, there is a birthday peach, which is almost as big as the cake. There are also two cranes on the birthday peach, which are lifelike and extremely realistic.

"Ms. Yan, did you make this yourself?" Mrs. Xu liked it very much. She took Yan Xia's hand and asked.

"Yes, I made them all by myself. The cake for Mrs. Xu can only be rest assured if you make it yourself."

Mrs. Xu became more and more fond of the woman in front of her.

"Come, old lady, you cut the cake. Cutting the cake on your birthday means spreading your blessings to the world and letting others enjoy your blessings."
