I Became Rich after selling Desserts in Ancient Time

Spring Drinks

Pan Shangshi returned to the Shangshi Bureau angrily and saw Cai Sishan busy in the kitchen from afar, measuring and adding ingredients into ceramic basins while recording them on paper.

　　She walked over quickly and asked sternly, "Look at what you have done! The cake was so bad that the ladies vomited after eating it. Now the queen has fined me two months' salary. How are you going to compensate me?"

　　Cai Sishan was criticized, but he was not angry. He said calmly: "I told you this morning that the cake only has the shape, and the taste and texture have not been developed yet. But you just didn't believe it and insisted on taking it to Penglai Palace."

　　After hearing this, Pan Shangshi's voice became even more shrill: "You mean, the responsibility is all mine? Don't you have any responsibility at all? As a female official in charge of food, it's been seven or eight days and you can't even make a cake. No wonder people in the palace say that the Shangshi Bureau is useless!"

　　The sound was so loud that it attracted the attention of other imperial chefs and maids. Everyone in the Imperial Chef's Office knew that Pan Shangshi was prone to losing her temper, was incompetent and petty, but they dared not speak out. Even if they sympathized with Cai Sishan, no one dared to stand up for her.

　　Cai Sishan and Pan Shangshi have been in the Shangshi Bureau for many years, and they know this woman's temper best. If they don't give her some benefits today, this matter will be unacceptable. She will complain for two or three days without stopping. He sighed silently in his heart: "I will bear the two months' salary fined by the Queen."

　　Pan Shangshi finally calmed down, but he still said: "You should have taken the responsibility."

　　After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw everyone lowering their heads, pretending that they had not seen anything and continuing to do what they were doing as if nothing had happened. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the gazes from all directions were full of contempt.

　　To save face, she added in a slightly more relaxed tone: "The Queen said that making cakes is a delicate job, so we don't need to rush."

　　Cai Sishan said "eh" and breathed a sigh of relief.

　　After exploring these days, she realized that making cakes is not easy. It is even more difficult to make it to the level of Miss Tang in the dessert shop. It requires slow and careful study. If the concubines keep urging her, the cake will not be made well. Now, she can finally concentrate on developing the cake.

　　After making a fuss, Pan Shangshi successfully transferred the punishment of two months' salary to others, and felt much better. However, his eyes rolled around and another bad idea came to his mind.

　　Cai Sishan couldn't make it for the time being, so why not make it myself? If I could make the cake before Cai Sishan did and give it to the masters of the palaces, wouldn't I get a lot of rewards?

　　She was not good at making desserts, and she would never be able to make a cake on her own, but wasn't there a ready-made recipe in a dessert shop outside the palace? She could just go get it.

　　Thinking of this, she took her badge and left the palace.
