Chapter 82 Ancient Version of My Brilliant Girlfriend

"Aunt Tong, how are the birthday cakes prepared? The birthday banquet in the front hall is about to start, and the master asked you to present the cakes."

Yuqin came hurriedly with several maids.

As she spoke, she looked into the small kitchen. She also wanted to see what cool pastries Tong Huaqiong had made.

Tong Huaqiong came forward and said, "Miss Yuqin, it's ready and waiting to be served."

As he spoke, he invited Yuqin to the small kitchen. Yuqin wanted to see a pile of things on the table, all covered with a dish cover, which was covered tightly with layers of cage cloth.

"Aunt Tong, it's covered so tightly? Can I take a look first?" Yuqin said.

Yuqin brought with her the maids and old women who served in the front hall. As soon as they arrived at the small kitchen, they were struck by the aroma of pastries and stretched their necks to sniff.

Like Yuqin, they were all curious about the pastries under the cover.

"Miss Yuqin, I covered it on purpose just to give the old lady a surprise at the birthday party." Tong Huaqiong said.

Although Yuqin was itching to go, after hearing what Tong Huaqiong said, she felt it was not appropriate to go and see it in advance.

"Okay, I'll bring someone to help you get there now."

Yuqin waved to the maids and servants and said, "Just listen to Aunt Tong's instructions."

"Is the cart I want ready?" Tong Huaqiong asked the maids and servants who had nothing in their hands.

"I dare not disobey Sister Yuqin's orders. Everything has been prepared and is outside." One of the maids said crisply.

A maid outside pushed a wooden cart to the door, and Tong Huaqiong expressed her satisfaction.

She had specifically requested that cart just to hold the birthday peaches and cakes.

Firstly, it is inconvenient for people to carry the birthday peach cake. If an accident happens and it is knocked over, it will ruin the atmosphere of the birthday party, not to mention how can she stand out. Secondly, it is better to use a trolley. If you slowly push it in and open the lid, the birthday peaches and cake will appear, which will look so cool.

Her only regret was that she couldn't use music, otherwise she would have imitated the idea of ​​a certain hot pot restaurant, where beautiful maids and young servants would hold up big signs and sing songs while presenting the cake.

What a dazzling sight! It is almost the same as the palace presenting birthday gifts to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

This was at the Huang Mansion, and she was unsure so she didn't dare to be too ostentatious. When she opened a shop in the future, she would have to copy this marketing method.

Tong Huaqiong smiled and told the maids to carefully move the birthday peaches, cakes and big koi to the cart.

She sighed that it was fortunate that when she was gnawing on the meat just now, she estimated that the time was almost up and asked Maner to take the cake out of the space.

After placing the cake, longevity peaches and big koi, Tong Huaqiong ordered a few maids to bring out peach blossom cakes, plum blossom cakes and lotus blossom cakes.

While the maids and servants were listening to Tong Huaqiong's instructions, Gu Taohua quietly pulled Yuqin to a corner according to Tong Huaqiong's previous instructions, pointed to a few plates of cakes and said, "Sister Yuqin, these are baked by my mother for you."

Yuqin grinned. This widow Tong is worth making friends with.

So she quietly accepted it and ordered her third-class maid to carry it back into the house later.

Tong Huaqiong took Gu Taohua and Maner and followed Yuqin to the front banquet hall.

The noise coming from the front hall could be heard from afar, and maids and old women kept bringing dishes to the front hall.

Tong Huaqiong knew that the dinner was about to start.

Tong Huaqiong asked the maid holding the cakes to stand outside and wait for her to clap her hands as a signal to pass the cakes. She also asked Gu Taohua to push the cart with longevity peaches, koi fish and cakes, and then took Man'er and followed Yuqin into the banquet hall.

After entering the banquet hall, Tong Huaqiong looked around and saw all kinds of elegantly dressed ladies, wives and young ladies sitting together and chatting. She even caught a lady secretly pouting and rolling her eyes at another lady.

This is not much different from modern banquets.

Chatting, gossiping, comparing...

It’s a pity that I’m an employee and can’t sit on the front line and watch the show.

"...They are half buried in the ground. I don't want to make such a big fuss. I think they can just eat a bowl of noodles quietly. But my son disagrees and insists on making such a big fuss."

Tong Huaqiong followed Yuqin to the front of the banquet hall, and looked up to see Old Lady Huang sitting at the top, holding the hand of an old lady beside her and talking.

Although he said that he didn't want to make such a big fuss about his birthday, his face couldn't hide his pride and joy.

The old lady next to him said, "You have such a good son. He is willing to worry about you, so you should bear it. Your son is really filial. My son is not like me who gets nervous when he becomes a county magistrate. He sits in the court every day and I don't see him for several days. Whenever I complain, he says that as a parent official, he naturally cares about the people."

Tong Huaqiong thought, wow, this is the county magistrate’s mother!

She is also a widow.

Judging from the way the two old ladies sit and their tone of voice, they are definitely best friends!

However, the conversation between the two people also has a sense of secret competition. It is an ancient version of My Brilliant Girlfriend.

Just as Mrs. Huang was about to say something, Yuqin walked up to the old lady.

"Grandma, Aunt Tong is here to give you a birthday gift." Yuqin said with a sweet smile.

When the old lady heard that Tong Huaqiong was coming, she smiled brightly and her eyes swept over Tong Huaqiong. This widow from Qinghe Bay said a few days ago that she had a surprise for her at her birthday party, and she also said that it should be kept secret. Look at her attitude, she is quite mysterious.

She was also curious about what kind of pastries Tong Huaqiong presented.

It would be best if she could get back on track in front of her bestie.

So what if your son is the county magistrate? The county magistrate is not as willing to care for me as her son is.

"Hello, old lady. I wish you a long life and happiness as vast as the East Sea." Tong Huaqiong spoke the birthday wishes in a serious manner.

The main focus is on a route that is not original but not wrong.

"What do you have there? Show it to me." The old lady didn't waste any words and asked Tong Huaqiong directly.

Hurry up, the female guests are watching, and everyone is waiting for the finale cake to appear before the feast begins.

Tong Huaqiong was not in a hurry either. She clapped her hands outside with a happy face.

All the guests were attracted. This was the first time they had seen such a thing in so many birthday parties.

Soon Gu Taohua came in pushing a small cart. On the top of the cart was a mountain of longevity peaches. What was even more wonderful was that the longevity hall was surrounded by wisps of fairy air, just like a fairyland.

This fairy-like effect was created by Tong Huaqiong using dry ice.

Sure enough, as soon as the fairy-like longevity peaches came out, they attracted everyone deeply.

There is a koi next to the misty fairy peach, and a birthday cake is placed on the lower level.

The pink dress wrapped around Gu Taohua's plump body made her look as eye-catching as a peach.

The maids in the Huang Mansion who were responsible for serving cakes followed Gu Taohua in.

Instantly, the guests were mesmerized.

Gu Taohua came to Old Lady Huang, and Tong Huaqiong personally took the birthday peaches from the wooden cart one by one and placed them on the prepared table.

That's right, she wants to build a birthday dessert table.

A circle of small birthday peaches surrounded the big, fairy-like birthday peach, and Mrs. Huang's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

After placing the longevity peaches, Tong Huaqiong placed the koi on the table, then took out the lotus leaves that had been prepared from a maid and placed them around the koi, then took out the lotus cakes from the maid's hand and placed the lotus cakes one by one on the lotus leaves. Suddenly, the whole table became lively, just like the koi swimming between the lotus leaves and lotus flowers.

Gu Taohua helped Tong Huaqiong place peach blossom pastries, plum blossom pastries and other flower-shaped snacks on the dessert table.

So the whole dessert table was decorated with flowers.

Many guests stared with wide eyes.

I didn’t expect that pastries could be made in such new ways.

Amid the guests' endless praises, the highlight came. Tong Huaqiong unveiled a three-layer cake, brought it out and placed it on the top of the table.

The cake was carefully prepared by Tong Huaqiong. It was decorated with flower petals all around and had a big "longevity" character written in the middle.

"what is this?"

Not to mention the guests, even the county magistrate's mother had never seen this new thing.

Old Mrs. Huang glanced at her best friend and couldn't help but ask Tong Huaqiong, with an indescribable sense of comfort in her voice.
