Before Wei Suxin opened her cake shop, she first supplied some egg cakes in limited quantities in her own shop, teahouse and restaurant.

The responses were very good, and the shop owners were vying to order more.

But at that time, Wei Suxin was the only skilled worker in the cake shop. One reason was that there was simply not enough supply, and another factor was hunger marketing.

This will create a topic for the egg cake.

Finally, word spread even among the wealthy ladies in the capital that the Wei family’s shop had a particularly delicious snack called egg cake.

The ingredients are very precious and the taste is excellent.

But now it’s different, the conditions for mass production are in place.

After making the egg beater, Wei Suxin made four egg beaters in a row, found four maids in the house, taught them how to make the cake, and practiced repeatedly for more than ten days.

On the opening day of the cake shop, Wei Suxin hired some more children and gave them some copper coins. The streets and alleys were full of children shouting about the news of the opening of the cake shop.

On the opening day, the cake shop was packed with people everywhere.

There were crowds of people outside the cake shop, and the carriage shed at the door was also full. There were carriages queuing all the way to the entrance of the alley to enter the store.

Wei Suxin was entertaining guests the whole day and told them that Wei's Cake Shop would continue to launch new products in the future. Many people placed orders immediately.

Wei's Cake Shop has always been doing a booming business, and the chairs in the shop are always full.

This matter has become a hot topic in Beijing.

Liu Yuefu and Wei Suxin's business is booming.

During the Lantern Festival this year, the night sky was filled with bright fireworks, and girls and children on the ground were holding various lanterns in their hands. There were stalls everywhere on the street, selling lanterns, lantern riddles, jewelry, etc. People were coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, in an endless stream.

There is also a royal lantern exhibition on the street. The lanterns on this exhibition are not only made by the palace, but also presented by local governments. This lantern exhibition is updated every year and is worth seeing.

Liu Yuefu and Wei Suxin held hands, each holding a lantern in their hands. Liu Yuefu held a lotus lantern, while Wei Suxin held a rabbit lantern.

"Oh my God, this Fuzhou lamp is so luxurious. It is made of white jade." Wei Suxin exclaimed. It was really luxurious.

"It looks like a clear ice jade pot. Look, there is a short poem underneath. It is really elegant." Liu Yuefu replied.

"Second Mother, this lamp seems to have a story." Wei Suxin said, pointing to a lamp made of colorful beads.

This lantern is made of five-colored beads as a net, with pearl tassels hanging down, and woven on the door are dragon boats, phoenix chariots, pavilions and even male and female figures.

Liu Yuefu nodded, "There is indeed a story. It should be the story of the Seven Fairies."

Wei Suxin looked at it carefully again and said, "It really is."

"Suxin, look." Liu Yuefu said, pointing at a sheepskin lamp.

This sheepskin lantern is made of five colors, and the figures riding horses inside are spinning rapidly. It is very interesting, just like a small shadow play.

"This is really interesting." Wei Suxin stared at the lamp for a long time. This might be the so-called revolving lantern.

The two walked forward and saw someone performing acrobatics such as breathing fire and swallowing iron swords, surrounded by many people.

Wei Suxin and Liu Yuefu also stopped to watch the fun, but after watching for a while, Wei Suxin felt a sense of emptiness around her waist.

Oh no, there’s a thief!

Wei Suxin immediately turned around and reached out to catch the thief, but the man ran too fast and Wei Suxin failed to catch him.

She hurriedly ran after the thief, "Catch the thief, catch the thief!" Wei Suxin shouted as she ran.

Until he ran to a stone bridge, he came towards a young man with a jade-like face. He was wearing a light blue double-breasted, straight-collared and wide-sleeved robe, and his hair was tied up with a green jade crown.

He was agile and caught the thief who was running towards him in one go and took the pink purse from the thief's hand.

Wei Suxin also ran to them at this time.

The man smiled and asked gently, "Madam, is this your purse?"

Wei Suxin nodded, "Yes, thank you, knight."

Unexpectedly, the crowd here was so crowded that someone bumped into Wei Suxin. She lost her balance and was about to fall headfirst onto the stone bridge.

But the man in front of him put his hand around his waist and caught it.

"My lady, I am sorry."

Wei Suxin blushed and stood up. "It's okay, it's okay. Thank you."

After saying that, Wei Suxin turned around and ran away.

It's so embarrassing, so shameful.

The young man looked at Wei Suxin's back as she left in a panic and smiled slightly.

Liu Yuefu immediately saw Wei Suxin and the pink purse in her hand, "Did you catch the thief?"

"Well, a young man just helped me catch it." Wei Suxin said with a slightly blushing face.

Seeing her like this, Liu Yuefu knew that something might have happened.

"You know him?"

Wei Suxin shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't know him, he should be a kind person."

The two of them went to the river hand in hand to release lanterns, and played for a while before they parted ways and went home.

The next day, Wei Suxin had just received the album of paintings that the artist had created for the cake shop's new cream cakes and was flipping through it.

Posters were also put up in the store.

The more than ten noble residences that regularly supplied refreshments had also tasted the cream cakes.

"Are you selling cream cakes here today? Can I see how it looks?" came a man's gentle voice.

Wei Suxin looked up. Isn’t this the knight who appeared on the bridge a few days ago?

Wei Suxin stood up with the album and handed it to him, "Yes, we will start serving cream cakes today. Here is the album, you can take a look."

The man was wearing a silver-grey front-buttoned, straight-collared, wide-sleeved top, a white jade crown on his head, and a white jade pendant with a lotus pattern tied around his waist, with silver-grey tassels hanging straight down. He took the album and said, "Let's go with the longevity peach style. I can send it to you in five days."

Wei Suxin saw the style and thought to herself that he must have bought this for the elderly in his family. What a filial son he really is.

"Where do I pay the bill?" The man signaled to the servant beside him, and the servant hurriedly took out a purse.

"No need. I'm giving you this cake as a token of my gratitude." Wei Suxin said with a smile.

The man frowned slightly, "No need, I have money."

"Have you forgotten? You helped me catch a thief during the Lantern Festival a few days ago. Do you remember it?" Wei Suxin smiled.

"Oh?! It's you?" The man also laughed and signaled to the waiter with his eyes, "Then we can't take your cake. Give me money."

The man's attendant was a boy in blue, who hurried to the counter and paid the money.

"My dear, this..." Wei Suxin laughed dumbly, "It's just a small cream cake, it's not a valuable thing."

"This cream cake of yours costs five taels of silver, it's not cheap. You have to pay for it, it's a token of my appreciation for my family." The man smiled and said, "But I appreciate your kindness. But one thing is another."

After saying this, the man said goodbye and left.

Wei Suxin turned around and walked to the counter, "Which family is the young man from?"
