Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 234: Hundred Cake Shop

"Go." Shen Qinglan looked at Le Zhao and said, "Xuan Ying must go."

Duan Yunfei: ...

Xuan Ying glanced over at her, and when he met her serene gaze, he couldn’t help but swallow secretly.

He thought that if he said no, Shen Qinglan might punch him to death.

"Alright then." He slightly raised his chin and said, "Since you’re so sincere in inviting me, I’ll reluctantly accept your invitation this time."

Le Zhao chuckled, "Thank you for graciously accepting the invitation!"

So, after finishing breakfast, Le Zhao led the two food enthusiasts out in grand style.

Duan Yunfei was going to follow them, but Shen Qinglan stopped him.

Anyone who obstructs her eating firmly cannot be taken along.

Thus, under a certain man’s resentful gaze, a certain woman decisively left with Le Zhao and Xuan Ying.

Duan Yunfei shook his head and sighed lightly, "Rather offend a gentleman than offend a foodie."

He learned his lesson today.

Xuan Ming looked at Duan Yunfei with a suspicious yet sympathetic gaze, thinking: From the Young Master’s tone, it seems like he didn’t let Miss Shen eat her fill during breakfast?

The location of the Hundred Cake Shop was not in the bustling market but in a rather quiet alley.

Shen Qinglan initially thought that such a relatively secluded location wouldn’t attract many people, but she didn’t expect the shop to be packed.

Upon counting, there were about thirty people.

"Is it really that delicious?" Xuan Ying wondered, "Why are there so many people?"

"The taste is quite good." Le Zhao smiled and said, "You’re always fond of pastries, the peach blossom cake here is sure to suit your taste."

"But... with so many people, when will we get a turn?" Xuan Ying frowned.

Le Zhao raised an eyebrow and said, "Watch me!"

After saying this, he walked briskly to the counter, and amidst the crowd’s displeased and puzzled looks, he recited softly, "A hundred years of peach blossoms for a hundred families, a hundred families bring spring to collect flowers, a hundred flowers ground for a hundred cakes, a hundred cakes lure a hundred guests."

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, a word game? No, a poetry game?

Under the baffled gazes of the crowd, the previously expressionless attendant suddenly paused, then smiled and said, "Honored guest, please proceed upstairs, your peach blossom cakes will be brought up shortly!"

Le Zhao winked at the two people by the door with a smug look.

"What’s this?" Someone grumbled discontentedly, "Just reciting those nonsense lines and you can go upstairs first, why?"

"Uncultured people, don’t speak, what do you know? This is the secret code between our boss and esteemed guests." The attendant said sternly, "Take your cake and find a seat yourself."

Hearing this, the customer hurriedly took the oil-wrapped pastry and went upstairs sheepishly.

Le Zhao chuckled and quickly led the two foodies upstairs.

"I didn’t expect there’s a secret code for eating pastries." Xuan Ying crossed his arms and looked at Le Zhao, "You come here often?"

"Not exactly." Le Zhao shook his head slightly, "Last time, when I came to the Prefecture City with Yijie to pick up Miss Tang and take her to Yongning Manor, we visited here. Miss Tang knows the shop’s owner."

"Is the owner’s surname Bai?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Miss Shen is smart!" Le Zhao laughed and said, "The owner’s surname is indeed Bai, and the flower filling used in the peach blossom cakes here is made from flowers from the Bai family’s hundred-year-old peach orchard."

As he explained, the attendant had already brought up several plates of warm peach blossom cakes.

"Go ahead and try them." Le Zhao motioned for the two to eat.

Xuan Ying first took one for Shen Qinglan, then took one for himself and took a bite.

Shen Qinglan watched him, saw him nodding repeatedly after a sound of appreciation, and then took a bite herself.
