Those who looked forward to the stars and the moon finally looked forward to the birthday of Gentle Mother-in-law. Early in the morning, Yuelongbao was very busy. Many merchants who had business dealings with Yuelongbao came to congratulate them in person. Even if they could not come in person, they

Someone was sent with gifts.

Of course, these scenes were all performed by my grandfather and Nangong Yi Zai. I was blushing today. I hurriedly got dressed and escaped from Nangong Yi’s sophisticated sight. I didn’t even have time to eat the breakfast of love.

In order to prevent my cake from being too plain for a big occasion, I took Qingqing and Ajiong to hide in a corner of the kitchen and decorate it carefully and patiently.

I found butter, eggs, and sugar, and it took me half a day to prepare them according to the proportions in my mind. I managed to make something similar to cream. In order to make the cream not too sweet, I also added some lemon to the final product.

The fresh juice then brushes the cream on the cake like a painter, then decorates it with various fresh fruits, and writes "Happy Birthday" in cursive script with strawberry jam.

Everything is perfect except...

"Ajiong, how old is your mother-in-law this year?" I suddenly thought of a very important question. I had never asked my mother-in-law how old she was before, and no one told me.

"Forty and five," Ajiong said truthfully without knowing why.

"Oh, then you go find forty-five candles." The essence of a birthday cake lies in the birthday candles. Only in this way can you blow out the candles and make a wish.

"Why do you need so many candles?" Qingqing looked up from the busy painting cream and asked me.

"Blow out the candles!" I said matter-of-factly

"Why blow out the candles?"

"Because I want to make a wish"

"Why make a wish?"

"Because... are you finished?" Sure enough, Qingqing's long-winded skills are getting better and better day by day, and my endurance is getting lower and lower.

"...Miss, you are cruel to me..." Qingqing accused me plaintively

"...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." I lowered my head in shame, fearing that she would be really angry and never make me plum blossom cakes again. The plum blossom cakes made by Qingqing are really amazing.

"Young madam, the candles are here, here they are for you!" Jiong Yu Ajiong is worthy of being called Ji Yu. I don't know when I ran to find the candles. I was panting and appeared in time with a large bundle of candles in my hand, which saved me from the guilt.

However, I looked at the candle Ajiong handed me in shock and fell silent.

It's all my fault that I didn't explain the required specifications of the candles clearly, so the candles in front of me... some are red, some are white, some are long, some are short, some are as thick as an arm, some are as thin as a finger...

"Are there no other types of candles?" I looked at the candle in Ajiong's hand with horror and trembling. Even the thinnest one was too thick.

"Other varieties? Isn't this what every household uses? Our Yuelongbao doesn't need ordinary households, we already have a complete range of varieties." Ajiong didn't understand why I was dissatisfied, so he patiently explained to me.

"It's just..." I suddenly felt very weak. What I wanted was not a lighting candle. What I wanted was a birthday candle, the kind that is thin and long, colorful and threaded, and has some fragrance. It melts and drips on it.

The birthday candles on the cake won’t affect your consumption either.

But... I forgot that this is ancient times, there is no birthday cake, and of course there are no birthday candles. What should I do now? I can barely copy the birthday cake, but we can't copy the birthday candles...
