Ning Anhui chewed quickly and was about to swallow the food in his mouth before answering when he heard his sister say, “We’re not setting up a stall anymore.” Ning Anhui thought about it and agreed. He would come back to farm with his father. Then, he saw Xiaoxiao smile at him. “Second Brother, I was about to ask you. Do you think my milk tea is delicious?”
Ning Anhui nodded vigorously. How could it not taste good? He was a hunk, but he actually couldn’t bear to part with such a sweet drink. In the past, he felt that drinking tea was how rich people burned their money. It was no different from water made from soaking vegetables and leaves. Sigh, no matter what, he could really taste the fragrance of tea from milk tea now!
What was this called? His sister had said that this was the sublimation of life!
Xiaoxiao waited for him to swallow before asking, “1 want to invite you to be a shopkeeper in the shop 1 bought. Are you willing?”
Ning Anhui put down the bamboo tube containing milk tea in fear. “Are you kidding me?”
Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand. “Second Brother, why do you think I’m joking?”
Ning Anhui stammered, “But I-I-I…” After a long time, he didn’t say anything else. However, Xiaoxiao said, “Second Brother, look. You’ve been setting up a stall for so many days. Do you know how to deal with customers, introduce goods, and settle accounts?”
Ning Anhui nodded. Xiaoxiao asked again, “Will you still be too embarrassed to ask now that you’re setting up a stall?”
Ning Anhui shook his head. Xiaoxiao asked again, “There’s not much difference between selling milk tea and salted vegetables. It’s just setting up a stall to sell some things. We’re just changing to a different place to change goods. You could do it in the past, but why can’t you do it in the future?”
Ning Anhui thought about it and felt that it made sense. Out of habit, he followed his sister’s train of thought and probed, “Then I-I’ll give it a try?”
Xiaoxiao rubbed his head in relief. “This is my good Second Brother.”
Ning Anhui slapped away her restless little paws. “You also know that I’m your brother?”
Xiaoxiao chuckled. “Of course, of course. Then can my good Second Brother come with me to the house and help me take out the gift 1 prepared for Big Brother?”
Ning Anhui said sourly, “What kind of gift is so big that you can’t take it alone?” However, he quickly walked past Xiaoxiao and walked towards her room.
After entering the house, he watched as his sister opened the huge food box and took out the things inside. Ning Anhui

What was this?
After the two of them left, Mrs. Shen looked at the milk tea in her hand thoughtfully. So this was the business that 1 wanted to do? It was really possible, but it was a little monotonous. A cup of tea was the best and she would get tired of it sooner or later. However, if she could drink it as she pleased after joining this business, she would definitely have no problem!
After making up her mind, Mrs. Shen looked in the direction Xiaoxiao left with a burning gaze. Then, the room suddenly darkened. Rong Yan and his guards were standing by the window at some point in time. They raised their hands and lowered the heavy curtains that they had just changed into today. The evening sunlight was blocked, and the room fell into darkness. It was not so dark that they could not see their own fingers, but the candlelight that appeared from the corner door was exceptionally bright.
Xiaoxiao, who appeared with a very beautiful white object, was all smiles. “Big Brother, this is the birthday cake 1 made for you! It’s delicious!”
The cloud-like soft and delicate cream covered the cake in ripples. There were limited tools, and Xiaoxiao only made an auspicious cloud pattern on it. However, this was already stunning enough. At least, no one present could take their eyes off this so-called “birth cake”.
Shen Tianci even swallowed his saliva. “It’s so beautiful. Can it really be eaten?”
Xiaoxiao was a little proud. “Don’t worry, the taste of Ning Xiaoxiao’s products will definitely be guaranteed!”
Shen Tianci said honestly, “I’m not worried about the taste. 1 just can’t bear to eat it.”
Xiaoxiao became even more smug. If she had a tail behind her, it would definitely be flung into the sky by her now and barely maintain her composure. She placed the cake steadily in front of her eldest brother and took the candle from her second brother’s hand to place it on the table. “Big Brother, close your eyes and make a wish. Then, blow out the candle. Your wish will be fulfilled!”
Perhaps her expression was too serious, or perhaps her voice was too expectant, or perhaps her eyes were too beautiful and bright. Ning Ansheng, who never believed in religion, really closed his eyes and whispered in his heart.
I hope that my sister will live a peaceful and carefree life.
[Ding… A total of 8oo points have been obtained from the regular dishes of the birthday banquet. Current total points are 2,100.]
When he opened his eyes and blew out the candle, Xiaoxiao reminded him again, “You have to hide your wish in your heart and not say it out loud. Next, invite the birthday boy to cut the cake!”
Rong Yan and the others pulled open the curtains again, and the house regained its brightness. Only then did everyone know why Xiaoxiao would rather go through so much trouble to tidy up the space in the house than put the food in the courtyard.
Xiaoxiao handed the fruit knife to her brother and taught him to cut out a small triangle. Then, she took over and scooped this piece for her brother. The rest was distributed to the guests. Next was the time to receive praise.
Xiaoxiao was mentally prepared and even prepared to be praised. However, she did not hear anything after waiting for a long time. She turned around in confusion and realized that everyone who had eaten the cake seemed to be dumbfounded. For example, Shen Tianci even bit the small bamboo fork and was stunned.
After a long while, he found his voice. “Did I eat clouds?”
“Pfft.” Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh. She felt that such praise was more important than simply giving her a thumbs up and saying that it was “delicious”. She took a portion herself and started to eat the cake happily.
Which girl didn’t like to eat cake? If it weren’t for the fact that she was afraid of gaining weight, she would have eaten this for her meal!
Mrs. Shen and Shopkeeper Liu only felt that they had met something they liked in this life. They were so happy that they wanted to hug it and spin around. How could it be so delicious! Oh my god, it was really too delicious!
She originally thought that Ning Xiaoxiao’s sponge cake was already top-notch. Who would have thought that she could make such a good thing!
“This heart should be called Cloud Cake!”
Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and felt that it was appropriate.
The ancients did not understand why it was called cake. Birthday cake was also a little boring. Moreover, she had to rely on this to earn money. If it was decided that they could only eat it on their birthday, how much less business would she have to do?
Everyone was extremely reluctant and couldn’t stop eating the “Cloud Cake”. They looked at Xiaoxiao eagerly. The latter spread her hands. “That’s all. If you want more, then…”
Shopkeeper Liu rolled her eyes, thinking that she was going to say “another price” again, but she smiled at Mrs. Shen.
“Just waiting for me to open the shop.”
She had thought about it seriously. It was not difficult to make cakes, oh no, Cloud Cake. What was difficult was the raw materials and sales channels.
It was obvious that this thing was expensive. Furthermore, it walked the path of “the rarer something is, the more precious it is”. Clearly, the consumer group was very clear—people with power.
No matter how smart Ning Xiaoxiao was, she couldn’t do this business without connections.. Which rich family was willing to let a small farm girl handle the expensive snacks they wanted to eat?
