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

Chapter 186 Inviting the 3rd Division to Eat Chicken Cake

"Hey, what are you holding in your hands?" Only then did Zhang Rouyan notice that they were carrying oil paper tied with red rope, which looked bulging.

"This is a sponge cake made by Huaping. I brought it especially for you to try!"

"Chicken cake? Chicken cake from a storybook?!"

As a loyal fan of "The Little Chef of the Jin Dynasty", she has read the novel more than ten times, and she doesn't miss any detail.

So whenever they mentioned sponge cake, she immediately thought of the sponge cake from the storybook.

Ye Yuwu smiled but remained silent.

"You and Huaping take these upstairs so everyone can have a taste."

Zhang Rouyan took the two large bags of oil-paper packets, lifted her skirt, and ran upstairs.

Before she even went upstairs, Ye Yuwu downstairs could hear her voice.

"Come out quickly! Manager Ye has brought some good food again! This was made by Huaping herself!"

Hearing the noise, everyone came out of the house. At this time, Zhang Rouyan had already gone up to the second floor.

Ye Yuwu was doing accounts downstairs when she heard a series of noises coming from upstairs.

Wow, painted screens! Did you make these? They're amazing!

"Mmm! It's really delicious! The stories in the novels really weren't lying to me!"

"Can you teach me how to do this?"

Just then, Huaping's troubled voice was heard, "I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult..."

The rest of the conversation was drowned out by the chattering upstairs, and Ye Yuwu didn't understand it, so she ignored it and focused on calculating the accounts.

Normally, Uncle Li would reconcile the accounts with her, but Uncle Li has been unwell recently, and Ye Yuwu insisted that he go home and rest for a few days. So today, she had to reconcile the accounts by herself, which would take longer than before.

During this time, her peppers sold well in Bianjing, and she made a small profit. As for the sponge cake, Huaping's suggestion was also good, but she really couldn't think of anyone to give it to.

So they sent it to everyone in the Three Departments to taste, which made the Censorate next door extremely envious.

However, at the beginning, everyone in the three companies had different reactions when they received the sponge cake.

At first, some people looked down on Ye Yuwu's things. These people originally looked down on a woman just because there was a woman in their three departments. They were ridiculed by the neighboring Censorate for half a year!

They disliked Ye Yuwu, so naturally they disliked her pastries.

However, some people within the Three Departments did not share this view and were not so averse to Ye Yuwu. Moreover, it would be difficult to refuse food offered by her, so they accepted it without hesitation.

Of course, the happiest person here was Yan Tieshi. He had a good relationship with Ye Yuwu and even asked her for extra chicken cakes, wanting to save some for his family to try.

"Yuwu, your pastries are even better than those from Baiweizhai! You could totally open your own shop!"

Lord Duan, the Salt and Iron Commissioner, was eating pastries with his mouth stuffed full, making it difficult for him to speak clearly. Ye Yuwu had to listen carefully for a long time before she could understand what he was saying.

"Lord Xue, that's exactly what I was thinking, but I'm still looking at the shops and I don't know how well the pastries will sell."

"This pastry is indeed good, but Yuwu, do you only plan to sell this one pastry?" Lord Duan asked with some concern as he looked at the soft and fluffy pastry.

"Of course not! There are other styles as well, which are still in the trial production stage. We'll make more so that the people from the three departments can try them." This way, she can also build connections and promote her pastry shop.

"Then I'll be in for a treat!" Lord Duan smiled at her rather unceremoniously.

She left the room and had just closed the door when she turned around and saw Lan Sinian standing silently behind her. Ye Yuwu was startled.

"Lord Lan? Are you here to see Lord Duan?"

Lan Sinian nodded indifferently, and Ye Yuwu quickly moved aside to make room for him.

Just as Ye Yuwu was about to leave, Lan Sinian suddenly spoke up, "Lord Ye, thank you for the pastries."

"Haha, you're welcome!"

The two stopped there, and Lan Sinian pushed open the door and went inside, while Ye Yuwu also left the spot.

Just as Ye Yuwu was distributing the chicken cakes to the officials of the three departments and leaving for the Ministry of Salt and Iron.

Some officials in the Three Departments didn't want to eat at all. At this time, some officials who had just arrived at the office came to their posts without having eaten breakfast.

The three departments were already very busy, and after working for a while, their stomachs just couldn't take it anymore.

That's when I saw the sponge cake that Ye Yuwu had given me.

The sponge cake, wrapped in parchment paper, sat quietly on their table. What they had previously scoffed at now became incredibly appealing.

Some officials are still forcing themselves to eat!

Some officials, however, were so hungry that their stomachs ached and they could no longer bear it. They gave up their inner resistance and opened the oil paper package.

Then, without even looking at it, he stuffed it into his mouth and ate it.

Once the psychological barrier was broken, the resistance became less pronounced.

Moreover, the pastry was quite good; they had never tasted a pastry with this kind of texture before. After finishing the whole pastry, they were no longer hungry, but they still wanted more.

The officials who were still resisting fiercely saw their colleagues eating with relish and became angry at their "betrayal".

"Didn't we agree to veto that woman together? We said we wouldn't eat what she gave us?!"

"What's the point of keeping it if we're not going to eat it?" The official who had said those things earlier quickly switched sides.

The other official was speechless.

"Don't tell me we're going to throw it away if we don't eat it?! This kind of wasteful behavior is not befitting a good public servant!"

The official whose name was being spoken to blushed bright red. "Who, who said I would throw it away? I won't eat it. I'll take it back to my servants!"

"Your stomach is still empty, and there's so much official business to attend to. There's still an hour and a half until lunchtime. Even the strongest body can't withstand that. Since there's food, you should fill your stomach! Besides, you said you wanted to expel that woman together. There's no reason why you can't get rid of her after eating. You really should try it; it tastes excellent!"

"I absolutely cannot eat it!" The official remained resolute and unmoved, continuing to attend to his official duties.

Another official, seeing that he couldn't persuade him, stopped trying and happily finished the chicken cake in his hand.

Ye Yuwu had just walked from the office to the lobby when she suddenly heard panicked noises inside.

Modern people love to join in the fun, so she went to the lobby with the intention of watching the excitement.

At this moment, the Tang Dynasty had already surrounded many officials dressed in their official robes.

"What happened?"

Just then, an official who had just arrived and was unaware of what was happening asked her.

"Lord Hu has suddenly fainted! His lips have turned purple and white, and someone has gone to fetch the imperial physician."

"Why did she suddenly faint?"

"I don't know about that."

"Alas, it will take the imperial physician a while to arrive here. I wonder if Lord Hu can hold on."

Hmm? Ye Yuwu stood silently to the side, eavesdropping.
