Chapter 273: So Many People Like Me (1)_1
"Young Master Shen taught you how to make New Year cakes?" Sun Xiujin’s mother, Miao’s, eyes lit up upon hearing this. Her daughter was already fifteen this year, and she was worrying about finding a good household for her. However, she could never find a suitable and satisfactory match.
Sun Xiujin nodded with flushed ears, "Mother! Let’s also buy some glutinous rice and try it out! If it doesn’t turn out well... we can ask Young Master Shen again! Tingyu and I ate their cakes, so we ought to return the favor once."
Miao’s laughed and nodded, seeing her reaction, "Buying glutinous rice won’t cost much. I’ll go ask about buying some, and you watch and see how it’s done!"
When Sun Lizheng returned from his walk in the fields, his family was discussing the making of New Year cakes. Upon hearing that Shen Songming had taught Sun Xiujin, his eyes briefly flashed. Shen Songming was, after all, the son of the Jinan Magistrate and held scholarly honors. But looking at him, he seemed to be eighteen or nineteen, guessing that he must have married already. Watching his youngest daughter, Sun Lizheng furrowed his eyebrows.
Shen Songming was also howling at Pei Qin, "I didn’t get to taste it, and in the blink of an eye, it was all gone! We need to make more tomorrow!"
"Are you Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit!?" Pei Qin looked at him, "Anyway, there’s rice at home. If you want to eat it, make it yourself!"
Shen Songming was fired up with fighting spirit and dragged his guard to continue making New Year cakes the next day.
When Sun Xiujin and Sun Tingyu came to invite Shen Songming to see their family making New Year cakes and saw that they were setting up a stall to make New Year cakes again, they were taken aback, "Young Master Shen still wants to eat. We made a lot at home, just not sure what it will turn out to be. Why don’t you come to our house and help us take a look!"
