Another thing, what are the brown drinks that Su Tang and her friends are drinking? Looking at Huang Yue Tong's expression, it seems that the two things match very well?

If only they could taste it.

This is the inner voice of everyone present.

"Will Su Tang's store sell this dessert? I've never seen it before."

"Maybe it's Su Tang's newly created dessert for the competition?"

"It must be. Who has seen such a novel way to eat before?"

"It's just ordinary milk, can you really make something so different? It seems very delicious."

"I don't care. When Su Tang sells this dessert, I must buy it!"

"Maybe it's expensive. Look, so many people like it already."

"I just want to try it, that's all, nothing more."

Many people said so and they are all thinking of how to buy this thing called puff.

But they didn't know that Su Tang had no intention of selling this dessert at all.

In contrast, she prefers to make Chinese desserts.

Although cream products are not bad, it's easy to get tired of them after eating too much.

Su Tang was secretly happy when she saw that she had advanced, and the two servants who had helped her were also congratulating Su Tang.

Su Tang smiled and saluted them. She then said, "Thank you and please thank Young Master Qi for his help and the ice containers."

During the competition, someone came and sent ice again.

Young Master Qi is so attentive...

Su Tang thought for a second and then took out some loose silver and handed it to the two servants, while she thanked them again.

Su Jin Hang in the family tent was also happy for his sister.

Someone next to him asked him why he didn't get to eat any of the puffs. Su Jin Hang pretended not to care and said, "I've eaten enough of them at home. Although it's delicious, I have to be restrained."

That's true. Su Tang had made puffs, and Su Jin Hang naturally ate them first.

The others in the tent looked at Su Jin Hang, full of envy.

Among them were people from Zui Xiao Pavilion. When the shopkeeper of Zui Xiao Pavilion saw that their Young Heir, Zhu Jin Yuan, had failed to make cocoa, he felt worried about him.

Fortunately, Zhu Jin Yuan also passed this round without the danger of elimination. With the brewed cherries as his dessert, he passed smoothly.

The young man next to the shopkeeper of Zui Xiao Pavilion sneered disdainfully.

This is the son of the patriarch of the Zhu family and the younger brother of Zhu Jin Yuan. The two are half-brothers, so naturally, they did not get along well.

This young man is the son of the patriarch of the Zhu family and the younger brother of Zhu Jin Yuan. However the two are half-brothers, so naturally, they did not get along well.

He is clearly looking forward to Zhu Jin Yuan's early defeat.

His expression was so obvious that even Su Tang could see it.

Huang Yue Tong frowned and said to Zhu Jin Yuan, "Your stepmother and half-brother have gone too far. Do they not even think to hide their thoughts?"

Zhu Jin Yuan shook his head slightly. "Don't worry about them, as long as I mind my own business, no one can grab Zui Xiao Pavilion from me. This is my mother's family business, and no outsiders can take it away."

Zhu Jin Yuan has always had a grounded character, but his mood was currently fluctuating a little. He looked at the cocoa next to him. There were no problems before, but now something had happened during the competition. How could it be so coincidental?

Although Jing Liang didn't speak, he obviously understood the gratitude and resentment behind Zhu Jin Yuan's words.

Although Su Tang was curious, she didn't ask.

But thinking about it, Zhu Jin Yuan's younger brother looks only a few years younger than him. She remembered that Zhu Jin Yuan had lost his biological mother when he was little and his father had remarried.

Generally speaking, if there was a stepmother, the biological father would taste like a stepfather.

Zhu Jin Yuan must have had a hard time living in the Zhu family, and now he is in charge of the Zui Xiao Pavilion. It is easy to guess that his stepmother and half-brother are also very unhappy.

Every family has its own complicated drama.

Most importantly, Zhu Jin Yuan said that he would not let anyone take Zui Xiao Pavilion because it belonged to his mother's family. Maybe Zui Xiao Pavilion was still part of his mother's dowry.

Actually, the facts are similar to what Su Tang thought.

Zui Xiao Pavilion is the dowry of Zhu Jin Yuan's mother, and Zhu Jin Yuan's mother brewed good wine and had talent in cooking, which made Zui Xiao Pavilion famous.

Had it not been for her early death, the current Zui Xiao Pavilion would only be more famous than it is now.

The Zhu family originally looked down on the restaurant, but they didn't expect that the income of this restaurant would be comparable to the income of more than a dozen shops.

However, before Zhu Jin Yuan's mother died, she said directly in front of everyone that this restaurant belonged to her three-year-old son. If anyone robbed it from him, she would not be at peace as a ghost.

The ancients were most afraid of ghosts and spirits. When they were so frightened, they could only hide their thoughts.

But in recent years, the Zhu family's properties have declined, but this Zui Xiao Pavilion has only gotten better.

It is inevitable that it would make people jealous.

Fortunately, with the help of the shopkeeper left by his mother, Zhu Jin Yuan had built Zui Xiao Pavilion into what it is today, which is also the best restaurant in the capital.

On the way back, Su Jin Hang told his sister the gossip he had heard.

Su Tang sighed darkly. This Zhu family was really something. She found what she had heard from Su Jin Hang concerning.

Su Tang was just about to leave after packing away her things when she saw Zhu Jin Yuan and Huang Yue Tong waiting for her.

Su Tang said, "What's wrong?"

Is there something wrong? she thought.

Huang Yue Tong was a little embarrassed. "It's like this, Zhu Jin Yuan wants to ask you for a favor."

While they were talking, Jing Liang also stopped what he was doing and looked over at them.

Huang Yue Tong continued speaking. "It's about cocoa. Zhu Jin Yuan originally wanted to invite you over to Zui Xiao Pavilion to teach him how to make hot cocoa, and learn whether cocoa can make other foods?"

Zhu Jin Yuan asked Huang Yue Tong to help him ask Su Tang because he was not that familiar with Su Tang, so the outcome might not be as good as when Huang Yue Tong asked.

"Please will you help me Su Tang, I, Zhu Jin Yuan, will give you a generous gift in return? "

With that said, he made a deep bow to Su Tang.

Su Tang replied, "Alright, I don't want any generous gifts but can you share some of the cocoa with me? It's also okay if you want me to buy it."

The cocoa he had now must have come from across the ocean and is clearly of great value. Of course, she can't ask for it for anything.

Zhu Jin Yuan hurriedly said, "Miss Su, I'm very grateful that you agreed to teach me how to use cocoa. It's also my duty to send some ingredients in return."

They were both chefs! And which one of them wouldn't like to see new and exotic ingredients? So sending some to Su Tang is normal.

Su Tang nodded, and both said thank you to each other.

But Su Tang didn't even manage to take a few steps away before she was stopped again.

And the person who stopped her was one of the judges, Grand Secretary Fan Yun Ping.

Fan Yun Ping looked more than thirty years old and had a great bearing about him.

He stopped Su Tang to ask her if there were any more puffs that she could sell. He would send someone to buy them if she still had some.

Su Tang didn't know how to respond, so she had to say, "The puffs can't be kept for a long time, and I don't plan to sell them."

Fan Yun Ping was shocked. "Why won't you sell such a delicious dessert?"

Su Tang couldn't say that she was too lazy to open a new store, so she had to answer tactfully. "It's a bit troublesome, so I don't want to do it."

"Miss Su, you are wasting God's gift. I don't know how many people in the world will discover happiness after eating your dessert, so why don't you do it." Fan Yun Ping was heartbroken. He thought he had finally found a truly delicious dessert, so why didn't she sell it?!

When Su Tang heard this, he made it seem like she had committed some sort of crime, and she was even more dumbfounded. "If Master Fan likes it, you can go to my store to pick it up tomorrow. I just want to make some for my friends, and if you come I will give you some."

Fan Yun Ping was pleasantly surprised and thanked her again and again. "I will definitely let my wife and children taste it, they will love it too."

Su Tang thought this was over, but she didn't expect that a few officials would also come and ask about cream puffs tactfully.

They mostly want to give it to their children at home.

Su Tang thought it was strange, it was just a dessert, so why was it so sought after.

She still felt uncertain and was still thinking about it, even when she met Qi Tian Yun.

Jing Liang and the others behind Su Tang really didn't expect that it would take Su Tang almost half an hour to walk out of the entrance from the competition site.

It shows her popularity.

But granted, those people stopping her didn't surprise them that much.

However, the man in front of them shocked them and they didn't dare to look at him directly.

But Su Tang was rather comfortable with him.

Su Tang saw Young Master Qi and immediately thanked him. "Thank you so much for the ice containers you sent. It's a great help. Oh, and your servants were very helpful too."

Qi Tian Yun nodded and glanced at Jing Liang who was standing next to Su Tang.

Jing Liang had recognized this man long ago. The last time he was near Su Tang's store, this man had stared at him and scared him into having nightmares at night.

It happened again.

Jing Liang vaguely feels something... But, is it really the same as he thinks?

Jing Liang saw the man walking over to Su Tang and walking side by side with her. His tone was rather gentle. "You're welcome. I see you are frowning. What's the problem?"

Since the competition ended, Qi Tian Yun had waited at the entrance, but Su Tang didn't come out.

And he had learned that she was stopped by many people who wanted to buy some puffs.

"It's just a bit weird. In fact, puffs are not that great. Why is everyone stopping me to try and buy them?" Su Tang looked at Young Master Qi, she always felt that Young Master Qi knew the answer.

After all, he looked extraordinary at first glance.

Sure enough, Young Master Qi answered her.

"You don't think it's great, but it's the first time many people have eaten this kind of dessert, so naturally they want to buy some for their families. I think the situation in the court is stable now, and there is nothing serious that is demanding the court's attention, so instead they will pay more attention to clothing, food, housing, and travel," Qi Tian Yun said slowly.

Others may find his insight incredible, but Qi Tian Yun knows the habits of the people best because he assists the Emperor in taking charge of the imperial government.

Now in such peaceful times, when the people of the capital eat, they would not only be full but also be willing to eat different food.

This doesn't just apply to the commoners, but also to the ministers in court.

Unfortunately, the previous war caused many cuisines to be lost, and so the people today are just looking for the pleasure of enjoying food.

Su Tang understands that it is inevitable to want to develop spiritual happiness after a nation becomes stable.

Food is just one of the ways people do it.

Presumably, the cuisine of Cang Qin would develop very rapidly during this period.

This is also the desire of the people.

Qi Tian Yun only gave her a brief explanation but Su Tang fully understood, and so the smile in his eyes was more obvious.

There are not many women in this world who can be so intelligent, and there are even fewer women who can understand the meanings behind words immediately.

The two of them were talking, and it was soon time for the others to leave.

Zhu Jin Yuan saluted Su Tang again. "Tomorrow I will wait for Miss Su in Zui Xiao Pavilion."

Su Tang nodded. "In the morning, I'll come over. There are too many things Cocoa can make, so we can study it slowly."

Zhu Jin Yuan thanked her again, feeling more at ease.

As for Huang Yue Tong, she also went back with Zhu Jin Yuan, but Jing Liang didn't say anything.

After he had observed, Jing Liang was sure now.

This imposing man, he was sure that he had the same intentions as himself.

Jing Liang frowned. He naturally treated Su Tang differently, and even planned to talk to his father, and then slowly cultivate feelings with Su Tang.

But now there is such a man.

He looked like a fierce wolf and he was very possessive when he stood next to Su Tang.

He pretended to be gentle when talking to Su Tang but in fact, he had already covered his surroundings with his own scent and did not allow anyone else to approach.

Such a person, if Su Tang falls into his hands, he is afraid Su Tang will be eaten without any remaining residue being left.

Jing Liang was thinking about it and suddenly felt that he was being stared at by someone. He saw the man standing next to Su Tang glaring at him and asked lightly, "Do you need anything else? Do you want to go to Su Tang's store too?"

Su Tang was confused. She didn't understand what had just happened and said suspiciously to Qi Tian Yun, "What's the matter? Do you want to come to my house? "

Hearing this, Qi Tian Yun said helplessly, "Yes, I also have something to ask you."

Oh, it's business, Su Tang nodded. "Then let's go back and talk, just in time, I also have something to tell you. "

Qi Tian Yun raised his eyebrows. "Okay, I'm all ears."

As they talked Jing Liang's frown deepened, but he had stopped where he was. He knew that if he kept following Su Tang that man might be really rude to him.

No, he needs to find the opportunity to make it clear to Su Tang that this man has no good intentions toward her.

At this time, Su Tang was actually thinking about how to tell Young Master Qi that she didn't want to cook for him anymore.

This is what she actually wants to say to him!

She shouldn't get any closer to a dangerous man!

However... this is not possible.
