ly, we had some pork and scraps left over from slaughtering the pig the other day. This will come in handy now.Tao Hongying listed the menu right away, all of them were simple to make, tasted good and...The Marquis let out a cold snort, “I don’t know either. I’ll go to the palace tomorrow and ask your uncle myself!”

The old nanny's face instantly turned pale as a sheet, and she plopped to her knees, banging her head. "My Lord, Lady, I was wrong! It was all my rambling nonsense. It wasn't the young lady who wanted the recipe; it was me who misunderstood!"

She was now kicking herself for her actions. Earlier, she had gone to the Li family's house to beg for the recipe, but they said that the county princess was in this shop and only she could give permission.

She didn't think much about it and went straight here.

But who would have thought, this shop belonged to the emperor!

To pry a hole in the wall and reach the Emperor, it's simply a death sentence.

If this got out, the princess definitely wouldn't admit it. Then she would have to take the blame to cover it up...

"Master, spare my life! Mistress, spare my life! This old slave was bewitched, I babbled nonsense, I blinded myself with lies!"

As she spoke, she slapped her own chubby face with a resounding smack.

Jia Yin knew this was her stepfather standing up for her, giving her support. Of course, she couldn't play the role of a saint and plead for leniency.

Even though this grandmother and the grandmother at home were the same age, one could see that her hair was loose and her cheeks were puffy like steamed buns…

Whatever anyone says, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.

Today, it was my godfather who stood by me, and the shop also had Uncle Huang, this partner, so it was able to escape unscathed.

If it were an ordinary family or shop, the recipe would definitely have been whisked away by this granny.

And the dim sum recipes are the foundation of a dim sum shop. Without recipes, it's like having your business destroyed. How can you survive, how can you make a living

She hates how the third princess and the old nanny openly and shamelessly fight for things!

Inside the house, that grandmother kept slapping herself, while Peng Chuan at the doorway was wiping cold sweat.

He didn't think much of it at the time, hearing that it was the princess's grandmother, he let the person in. Who would have thought such a thing would happen!

Not until the old woman’s face was unrecognizable did the Marquis raise his hand to stop her. He coldly ordered, "Go back to the palace and don't come out again to smear the Princess. The Princess only wanted to try a new flavor of cake, but you changed the master's orders and acted cunningly."

"Today, I'll give you a lesson. Next time, I'll personally bring up your education with the Emperor."

"Yes, yes!" Grandma was overjoyed, kowtowing frantically, then stumbling out.

Jia Yin giggled and clapped her hands, praising her adoptive father in a low voice, "Father is so amazing!"

The Lord rubbed her hair and instructed, “Remember this from now on: it’s always the servants who make mistakes, never the masters. This applies to everyone, whether you’re superior or inferior, understand”

"I understand!" Jia Yin nodded vigorously, "Everyone wants face, especially Emperor Uncle. Even if the princess isn't good, she's still her daughter! Just like my foster father, even if I was naughty, he wouldn't like others to scold me!"

The Lord laughed, "Little girl, you're getting smarter!"

After a few casual exchanges, the father and daughter were about to head to the Hou Mansion.

Pengchuan crouched down at the doorway, looking very frightened.

The Marquis glanced at him and threw out a sentence, "Remember who is the master here from now on!"

Peng Chuan quickly knelt down, "Yes, Lord Hou, the servant will definitely not forget again."

Having seen the Marquis and his wife leave their house and get into the carriage, Peng Chuan only then dared to stand up and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

A capable young man ran up, his face grim, and said to the shopkeeper, "Sir, I'm afraid things are going to be tough for us from now on."

"What nonsense!" Pengchuan quickly hissed in a low voice, then pulled out a thick stack of manuscripts and said, "Our shop has the emperor's support and the county magistrate Luo backing us. Our business will definitely be booming."

"Just...from now on, keep your eyes open! As long as the Emperor doesn't come personally, this place only takes heed of what the County Princess says, understand"

"Got it, got it!"

No matter if they understood or not, these lads dared not refute at this moment.

Then there was the third princess's nanny, who returned to the palace with a pig-headed look. Anyone with eyes could see it.

Of course, the Third Princess had to ask. She'd heard that Jiayin refused to give out the recipe and even her father cooperated with Jiayin to open a teahouse. She was both angry and jealous.

She is the emperor's biological daughter, and he actually treats a peasant girl better than her, the princess!

Where did she fall short Where was she inferior to that peasant girl

In a fit of rage, she beat her grandmother half to death and smashed a whole room full of porcelain.

There are never any secrets in the palace, and especially not with Yi the Chief Eunuch always keeping an eye on things.

Then, when attending to the Emperor's bathing in the evening, Yi Zhongtong told him about this.

Of course, he wouldn't say the princess was wrong. He just said that the maidservants had instigated the young princess and that her actions were inappropriate. They even smeared her reputation outside.

The emperor, of course, was not pleased. He immediately replaced the maidservants who had been serving the princess, giving her several stricter older maids instead.

From now on, the princess shall not speak of baking treats, and she shall not even be allowed to leave her palace!

It has to be said, at any time, never offend people casually, even a eunuch can turn the tables and make a princess obey them…

Jia Yin didn't know how the princess ended up humiliated, of course she did, she could only clap and offer praise.

After a day of playing in the city, she returned home in the evening and began discussing mooncake fillings with her mother, grandmother, and He Grandma.

There's no shortage of walnuts, peanuts and the like at home, and red beans are plentiful too.

Therefore, both the five-kernel and red bean paste mooncakes are baked in the largest quantities, distributed to ordinary villagers and neighbors.

As for the Hou residence, add jujubes and sesame seeds.

While those used for gifting are made with new flavors, including salted egg yolk, meat floss, jam, and green bean paste.

Tao Hongying naturally had no objections, although she had never tried jam or meat floss, and she couldn't even imagine how salted egg yolks could be wrapped into mooncakes.

But over the past year, her daughter has single-handedly helped promote her home cooking, and the mutual understanding and trust between the mother and daughter are undeniable!

Since my bestie said she could do it, she definitely can! And if she does it, it'll be great!

Thus, the long list was written out.

The next day, when Tao Hongying went out, Huiniang and Liusao had already distributed the work to the women in the village.

Some people are shelling peanuts, some are shelling walnuts, and some are cooking red bean paste. They are all busy and happy.

Although everyone looks forward to eating mooncakes, they actually enjoy the busy atmosphere of celebrating the festival together more.

To live is to do what you need to do at any given time.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, you can gather zongye (bamboo leaves) to make zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can enjoy mooncakes. And during Chinese New Year, you must slaughter a pig and make dumplings.

Don't underestimate these seemingly ordinary things, they represent the prosperous daily life of every household.

Otherwise, struggling to survive and unable to even fill their stomachs, who would have the time or energy to worry about such things

Xincun was bustling with activity, and the big and small Wangzhuang and Dahuaishu villages were watching eagerly.

But they had only recently arrived and lacked the experience of a long and arduous journey. Even if they tried to appear confident, there was still some hesitation in their hearts.

After discussing for a bit, they decided to have some red beans and peanuts sent over as a gesture of goodwill.

Just over at Xin Cun, things were bustling with preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Finally, the Marquis' personal guards had brought their families over...
