After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 185 Shopkeeper, have you forgotten something?

Hua Ping quickly interrupted her, "Don't say that, girl. I'm genuinely happy for you because I see you being yourself and shining like a firefly." Hua Ping didn't know how to use beautiful words to describe her.

I just know that every time I see her doing something, she shines like a star, and that makes me very proud.

"You..." Ye Yuwu said helplessly.

"I heard you've been enjoying watching 'The Little Chef of Jin Dynasty' lately?"

Hua Ping blushed and nodded, "You write very well, young lady."

"I'm planning to take over a shop and open a pastry shop soon."

Hua Ping's eyes lit up, but then she remembered what Ye Yuwu and she had talked about earlier that day, and her eyes dimmed.

Ye Yuwu knew what she was thinking, so she continued, "You like to study making pastries, and coincidentally, I have this plan for you to work in a pastry shop."

"No, no, young lady, you don't need to open a shop just for me."

Hua Ping reached out and flicked her forehead. "What are you thinking about! Of course, it's partly because of you, but the main reason is that I want to make pastries related to Jin Chao's Little Chef."

"Huh?" Hua Ping didn't understand what she meant.

Ye Yuwu patiently explained to her, "Many pastry shops in Bianjing want to make the pastries from the storybook, but none of them have succeeded. This is a chance to make money, and we happen to have the ingredients for making these pastries."

"Young lady, but I don't know how to make many kinds of pastries!"

"We don't need to make that many pastries. Our main focus is on limited quantities, and of course, we mainly sell sponge cakes. Sponge cakes take more time and effort, so we don't need to make a lot every day. Just enough to sell is fine."

Hua Ping nodded.

"So besides sponge cakes, what else can we make?"

"I will write down some pastry recipes later, and you can try to see if you can make them."

Her eyes lit up when the painted screen was mentioned. "Girl, how do you know everything!"

Even though she knew Hua Ping meant no harm, Ye Yuwu still asked her, "Hua Ping, don't you think I'm strange?"

"Huh?" Hua Ping looked Ye Yuwu up and down. "She is a bit strange."

Ye Yuwu felt a sudden pang of anxiety. "Something's strange about it."

"Young lady, how am I supposed to answer that? You've always been so quirky since you were little, and there are many words and ideas that I don't understand."

Hearing this, Ye Yuwu's heart skipped a beat, and the fog before her eyes seemed to clear up a bit. She pressed on, "Have I always been like this since I was a child?"

"Yes! You were just like this when I came to the manor as your maid! It's just that after you fell into the water, your reactions became slow, and you always like to test me with questions."

Hua Ping said that she always liked to ask her questions. At that time, when she had just transmigrated, she did not have the original owner's memories and was afraid that she would give herself away and be regarded as an evil spirit by these ancient people.

So when she encountered people and things she didn't know, she could only deceive the naive Huaping by giving her questions in the name of testing her, just to find out from her.

However, Huaping's words today did not resolve her doubts; instead, they deepened her confusion. Seeing that she could not get anything out of Huaping, she stopped asking and returned to the topic of opening a pastry shop.

"I guess I'll have to leave the task of finding a new shop to you?"

"Don't worry, girl!"

It was undoubtedly the best arrangement for Ye Yuwu to let Huaping take charge of this matter.

Ye Yuwu ate a lot of steamed egg custard at the mansion, so much that she couldn't eat lunch.

Hua Ping surprised Ye Yuwu by making so many chicken cakes.

"How long does it take you to beat these eggs? Making so many sponge cakes?!"

Ye Yuwu looked at Huaping's thin arms and legs with suspicion, "Could you also be a natural strongman like Luo Nanzhi in the storybook? No, I've known you for a long time, and you can't even lift a book normally, how could you have the strength to stir for so long?"

Hua Ping scratched his head sheepishly.

"Girl, I didn't stir the eggs."

"Even the head chef and the kitchen helpers don't have that kind of time, do they?"

No wonder Ye Yuwu was so surprised, mainly because the amount she made was enough to feed everyone in the Ye family for four days!

"It wasn't just them who helped; Chen Huyuan and the others also contributed."

"Nurse Chen?!"

"Yes, they are very kind. Seeing that we had been stirring for a long time, they came to the kitchen to help. They are martial arts practitioners, so they can stir very quickly and without getting tired. We ended up making quite a lot."

That's way too much!

Ye Yuwu rubbed her forehead.

"Don't worry, girl, once it's done, you'll definitely be the first one to eat the sponge cake!"

Ye Yuwu: ...

Does it matter?

"It doesn't matter," Ye Yuwu thought to herself as she looked at the many chicken cakes.

“Girl, what’s there to be afraid of? Just consider it a gift! Now that you’re an official, you need to build connections, so use these things as gifts. Even if you can’t finish them, you can give them to the people at the bookstore, so nothing will go to waste.”

"I must say, Huaping, you have a long-term vision; I didn't expect that."

Hua Ping smiled sheepishly.

Ye Yuwu was helpless; who could she give a gift to?

While Ye Yuwu was worrying, the guards of the Ye family were overjoyed.

It was all worth it for them to wait near the kitchen and find an opportunity to help; they finally got to eat the sponge cake they had been longing for.

The group held the fragrant and soft sponge cake so tightly that they couldn't bear to take a bite.

"How can this pastry be both fluffy and soft!"

"I heard they used cornstarch as a thickening agent!"

"Never mind, I'm going to eat it!" one of them said, taking a bite, his cloudy eyes instantly clearing.

"good to eat!"

"Really!" So the group stopped feeling bad and started eating.

"Is it really as described in the storybooks? When I read the storybooks, I thought it was an exaggeration! I never imagined that there were such delicious pastries in the world!"

Several people finished a bowl-sized sponge cake with tears in their eyes.

As soon as Ye Yuwu and Huaping returned to the bookstore with the chicken cake, they saw Zhang Rouyan standing resentfully at the door, staring at them.

Ye Yuwu was startled when she saw her expression upon entering the bookstore, completely unprepared.

After regaining her composure and asking her what had happened, Zhang Rouyan spoke up.

"Manager Ye, have you forgotten your storybook?!"

Ye Yuwu was reminded of this and suddenly realized that it seemed like she hadn't written a storybook in a long time.

Fortunately, there were only the three of them in the bookstore, so she spoke very softly, otherwise others would have heard her.

"The fans are all urging me to hurry up!" Zhang Rouyan, as her editor, felt it necessary to urge her.

"Don't rush, I've already written part of it, I'll give it to you to proofread later."

"Shopkeeper, I just want to ask on behalf of the book fans, when will you finish this storybook? I'm getting really impatient waiting for the ending."

The woman with the painted screen chimed in, "Yes, miss, I'd love to know how this story ends too!"

"I...I'll try my best to finish writing it!" Ye Yuwu had a headache, mainly because she had too many things to do.
