Once they heard the boy’s words, those who originally only wanted to buy a few iced mooncakes also bought a box.
After buying them, they thought that it was only one hour and they would have to come back to the queue before they could stand on their feet at home, so they simply didn’t leave and went to the side to queue.
There was a strange sight in front of the shop, a long line of people carrying one or two boxes of mooncakes and patting the empty queue on the side.
Song Wangyue had made some snow millets from the leftover ingredients in the kitchen and they were bought up as soon as they were carried out. The remaining people were scratching their ears in anxiety, thinking that they would have to buy more themselves later.
The shopkeeper over there kept looking over his shoulder, seeing the long queue and then the empty shop, and he was so angry that he wanted to lift the table.
In half a day, word spread that the Huang family’s pastry shop was selling iced moon cakes, and more people came to the shop, lining up in front of the shop in the dark.
No matter how much the two boys explained that there was not much left and that the adults behind them should not queue up.
However, the people refused to leave.
In the kitchen, another set of Xue Mei Niang finished, Gu Yi said nothing to let Song Wan do, forcefully pulled her to the front of the shop to rest, personally poured her water and handed it to her, “almost on the line, the fish is definitely hooked.”
As soon as Song Wan Yue said she would help make the snow maiden, Gu Yi understood her intention, so he didn’t stop her, but that didn’t mean he was willing to keep Song Wan Yue’s feet busy.
Fearing that Song Wan Yue would not listen to him, he moved Song Si out, “If you are exhausted today, tomorrow when big brother comes out and sees you, he will certainly ask you, what will you tell him?”
Song Wangyue originally did not intend to do it, so she heard him say, “Listen to you, I won’t do it.”
This was the first time she had ever been so obedient, and Gu Yi was unaccustomed to it.
After froze, he smilingly stretched out his hand as Song Si did every time and stroked her head, “Don’t worry, I’ve made all the arrangements, if it’s really done by that side, I’ll definitely let them have no return at night.”
It was getting late, so the Huangcao couple could not stay for dinner and sent Song Wangyue out through the backyard gate with a smile.
As soon as she closed the door, the four boys quickly hid themselves in a hidden place around the shop, keeping an eye on every movement around the shop.
As the night drew on, all was silent and the Yellow Cake couple went to sleep.
Two figures silently approached the backyard of the Huang family pastry shop, looked at each other and were about to leap up the wall when they were sacked from behind and carried away directly.
The two men panicked and struggled desperately, “Who are you? Let go of me!”
They were answered with a fierce punch.
The two men were hit so hard that their noses spurted blood and their heads roared.
It took a while to slow down and they were about to struggle again when they were thrown to the ground with a thud, followed by a voice that sounded cold to the marrow of their bones, “The men are here, do with them as you please.”
The two guys were confused for a moment and immediately shouted and struggled, “Who are you? What do you want?”
No sooner had they shouted than they felt a cold, sharp blade against their bodies.
They didn’t dare to move at once.
The blade slowly traveled over their bodies while a gruff, unpleasant voice muttered to itself, “Where would be a better place to start? Might as well cut underneath first.”
The two men were scared out of their wits and clamped their legs together in a panic, “What the hell do you want?”
“That’s a good question, what are you doing in the middle of the night in the Huang family pastry shop?”
The two men dared not say, “I, we ……”
The crouching man seemed to run out of patience and cut the sack with a swish.
One of them clearly felt the sharp blade against some part of his body and was scared out of his wits, “I said, I said ……”
The sharp blade withdrew.
The two men were so shocked and frightened that they gasped for breath and put their orders from the shopkeeper to go to Huang’s pastry shop and get the old woman into an “accident” as well.
“So it was you who caused the accident last night?”
The two men nodded their heads and admitted, “Yes, we did.”
“The process.”
The two men panicked and didn’t dare to drop the whole thing at all.
When they had finished, there was no sound outside for a long time, and the two waited in fear.
After another round, the sack was untied and a piece of paper was placed at the mouth of the sack.
“Hold out your hand.”
The man took their fingers and dipped them into the blood on their faces, put his fingerprints on the paper and retied the sack.
“Just be honest and you’ll keep your dog lives.”
The two men nodded desperately.
The moment the mouth of the sack opened a moment ago, they glanced outwards, as if they were in an empty house, dark and without even an oil lamp.
……
“Young master, Miss Song, they have confessed.”
Xiao Si put the two hand-printed confessions on the table, Song Wan Yue picked them up and looked at them, they were similar to what she had presumed, so she put them down again, “Keep the people locked up for now, wait until after August 15th.”
……
The next day, he helped to make moon cakes with ice skin all morning, and could not resist the woman who repeatedly kept him, so Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi ate at Huang’s house and went to wait in front of the examination hall early.
It was just after noon, and just like last time, there were not so many people waiting in front of the examination hall. The two of them were about to find a place near the front to wait when they heard a low call, “Miss Song.”
Song Wangyue stopped and looked in the direction of the shout, and saw Master Yao walking over with quick steps, “Yesterday I went to the inn to look for you, but the innkeeper said you had checked out a long time ago, so I thought you would definitely come today and waited here early in the morning.”
“Is there something wrong with you, Master Yao?”
“Yes, can we go over there and talk?”
This side is too close to the examination hall and loud talking is not allowed.
The two of them followed him there and just as they stood, the shopkeeper Yao said, “Liang Ji Tang started selling a medicine pill for wind and cold yesterday, I think it must have been sold to him by you.
The Yanshantang and Liangjitang had been competing against each other for so many years, but there had been no clear winner until a few days ago, when he came up with the idea of giving free peppermint oil to students, and Yanshantang’s fame had been boosted, overpowering Liangjitang.
But before he could rejoice, word came from Liang Ji Tang about the wind chill pills, saying that a small pill was better than a pair of tonics, light and easy to take, and even more effective. Naturally, he didn’t believe it, so he asked his friend to disguise himself as a medicine buyer to buy one, dissolved it in water, and was shocked.
With this pill alone, Liang Ji Tang would be able to overpower Ren Shan Tang in the future.
He was so anxious that he stayed up all night, thinking that Song Wan Yue could only have sold it to them.
Seeing that he was sure, Song Wan Yue didn’t deny it and said, “Sorry, Mr. Yao, I can’t sell the pills to you, I have signed a contract with Master Sun.
Yao was struck by lightning, if this happened, in less than two or three years. If this happened, in less than two or three years, his Renshantang would have to be crushed by Liangji Tang.
“Then, does the girl have any other rare medicine to sell us?”
