Oh my god!

What a rival! 

So authentic!

Jinji didn’t sell sweet pea pudding, but it sold osmanthus cakes.

Compared with their osmanthus cakes, Jinji’s osmanthus cakes were simply inferior!

-Sweet pea pudding / Wandouhuang 

-Osmanthus cake / Guihuagao 

“Miss Su……” Shopkeeper Sun turned his back with a complicated expression.  

It was not like he had no confidence in Su Xiaoxiao. He had eaten the snacks made by Su Xiaoxiao, and it tasted impeccable.

But their competitor was not bad either, and since they were making famous Capital cuisine, they could easily grasp the local’s taste buds.

Their Suji’s snacks were delicious, but it was a pity that they were not as reputable as others’ food in the capital.

“Tsk, what a miscalculation.” Shopkeeper Sun clenched his wrist.

Soon, Su Xiaoxiao’s snacks also came out of the pot.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the several yellow-orange…… snacks on the plate, pointed at them and said, “No, you made…… eggs ah? Isn’t this…… sugar painting?”

-Sugar painting 

It could be seen everywhere on the street. It was made with sugar syrup little by little. The appearance looked so exquisite and tasted distinctively sweet. 

As for the one that Su Xiaoxiao made, it was not even exquisite, it was just the shape of an eggshell.  

“This……” 

Shopkeeper Sun was speechless. 

“Present it out.” Su Xiaoxiao said. 

”Oh.” Shopkeeper Sun’s mouth opened and closed several times, he summoned up courage to present the ‘eggshell’. 

You are the creditor, you are the owner, you are the boss! 

Seeing the sugar egg brought out by Shopkeeper Sun, the second madam chuckled and said, “Dimei*, this is the cook you invited, what kind of toy did she make? It’s not as good as my craftsmanship!” 

*Dimei (弟妹) : younger brother’s wife. 

It was just an egg shaped sugar syrup, even a seven or eight year old child could do it, okay? 

The third madam’s eyebrows also furrowed slightly. 

Shopkeeper Sun: Don’t ask me, it’s the boss who made it! 

The second madam was about to burst into laughter, she covered her face with her handkerchief, and said, “Then take this snack and let big brother and big sister-in-law have a taste, let’s see whose they like better!” 

The servants took three snacks to the courtyard of the main house. 

Big Master and Big Madam had just woken up and were sitting down to drink some millet porridge. 

-Millet porridge 

At noon, they would have two lavish meals for a banquet, so they would not eat much in the morning. 

The snacks were presented to the two of them on the table. 

For this matter, it was the big master who halfheartedly started it. House work was the territory of the big madam, and he shouldn’t have interfered with it. 

It was his second younger brother who came to him and asked for his permission. He couldn’t refuse it, only then he agreed to it. 

“Madam, you can make the decision.” The big master said. 

Big madam sighed and said, “You agreed to Lao Er*, and I made a decision in your stead? Wouldn’t it make you, the elder brother, lose face in front of your brothers?” 

*Lao Er : the second-eldest child in a family. 

The big master was very pleased with it, he smiled and said, “Then we will just use the cook that Lao Er called?” 

“Looking at it, it also seems that Lao Er’s cook is the reliable one.” Big Madam’s eyes swept over the three snacks and fell on several ‘eggs’ made by sugar syrup, frowning. 

“What did the cook that Lao San’s* wife hired make?”  

*Lao San : The third child in a family. 

  ……

The servants quickly came over from the courtyard of the eldest son’s family. 

Second Madam and Third Madam asked in unison, “What did big brother and big sister-in-law say?” 

The servant bowed his head and reported, “Replying to two madams, Big Master and Big Madam said to use the cook that Third Madam hired.” 

“Impossible!” Second Madam raised her voice, “You must have passed on the wrong message! They just made a piece of candy!”

That’s right, what Su Xiaoxiao made was indeed a piece of candy, just kneaded into the shape of an eggshell, but it was essentially a candy ah. 

What’s so special about it? 

The three cooks saw that there were still two eggshells left on Su Xiaoxiao’s stove, and Su Ergou had eaten one. 

They walked over with a sullen expression, and one of them broke a small piece of sugar with his bare hands. 

“It’s only sugar syrup, nothing special……”
