C21 Something Has Happened on top of 021 Mountain

If it was a competition, Xia Yi didn't have much confidence in defeating the Master Cheng.

The reason why Xia Yi proposed to compete with Master Cheng was because she knew that Master Cheng didn't even put this seventeen year old girl in her eyes.

Just as expected, Master Cheng placed the decision of the competition in Xia Yi's hands.

Xia Yi didn't even think as she said: "Since we are here for the Red Bean Cake, then let's compare ourselves to the Red Bean Cake. I wonder what Master Cheng thinks about this?"

Thinking about it carefully, the Red Bean Cake was probably the most confident one in obtaining the recipe, otherwise the Boss Hee would not even hesitate to give Xia Yi 10% of the profit to obtain it.

Only Xia Yi and Boss Hee knew about the split.

"Red Bean Cake s are just Red Bean Cake s." Master Cheng didn't know what happened to the Lingshan Town, he only thought that Xia Yi had never seen the world, and was far too proud.

Xia Yi continued: "In order to prevent the results of the competition from being unfair, the people in the kitchen cannot participate in the judgement."

"Alright, as you wish." Master Cheng replied.

"If I win, I don't need your money, as long as you all properly learn the ways of the Red Bean Cake, you don't need to cause trouble for Master Zheng."

"Heh, this little girl is quite arrogant."

Xia Yi didn't say anything and only replied with a smile.

"Old Chen, bring her the materials." Master Cheng went back to his own business after giving instructions.

After obtaining the ingredients, Xia Yi leisurely started.

Several hours later, the Red Bean Cake s of Master Cheng and Xia Yi came out at the same time.

Boss Hee happened to be bringing a few people over.

These people were all Boss Hee's friends, they were all specially invited to be judges.

The capital had yet to start selling Red Bean Cake, so other than the Boss Hee s, the rest of the people did not know who made the two plates of Red Bean Cake.

After the results were out, the Boss Hee brought them and left, so they did not know who exactly made these Red Bean Cake, or what the meaning of making such a vote was.

The voters had all left, and Master Cheng was still immersed in the results of the poll and could not extricate himself for a long time.

He actually lost?

Losing to a little girl?

Not only in Master Cheng, but even in the entire Xiangji Shop, no one believed it.

Xia Yi walked over and said: "Master Cheng, you've lost."

Master Cheng raised his eyes helplessly and said: "I saw it. You don't have to especially come and show me off."

Xia Yi said: "I am not boasting to Master Cheng, I am only here to remind him to keep his promise. That's exactly what I'm good at, so don't place the results of Master Cheng's match on your person. I just want to let Master Cheng know that no one asks where the heroes come from, and even if they come from a small place, they will still make delicious pastries. "

"I will keep my word."

From the beginning till the end, Xia Yi had always been calm and collected. She was not overjoyed just because she had won against Master Cheng, nor did she lose face in front of Boss Hee and his friends. This made Master Cheng a little ashamed.

After everything was settled, Xia Yi finally remembered the time.

The sky had already darkened. It was long past the time of the young generation.

Xia Yi hurriedly brought Xia Yang and to the city gate.

If Uncle Wen left, she would be finished, if that person on the mountain couldn't eat, he would definitely kill her.

From a distance, Xia Yi saw an oxcart waiting at the side of the city gate.

"Uncle Wen." Xia Yi shouted loudly.

Hearing Xia Yi's voice, the person on the oxcart waved her whip, and slowly drove in Xia Yi's direction.

The ox-cart stopped beside the three siblings.

The Uncle Wen in the carriage asked anxiously: "If you guys don't come, I'll have to report to the officials."

"Uncle Wen is sorry, we ran into some problems and were delayed." After making Uncle Wen wait for so long, Xia Yi felt extremely embarrassed.

Uncle Wen said: Hurry and get on the carriage, it's good that there's nothing wrong with the person, I'm afraid you all might not be familiar with the city, and that we might encounter some other problems.

Xia Yi carried Xia Yang and Xia Yue both onto the carriage, and then sat down on the carriage.

When they came, Uncle Wen was full of firewood, but now that it was all empty, it was a lot more spacious.

"Uncle Wen, these are some pastries I brought for you. I hope you don't mind them." Xia Yi took out a paper bag and stuffed it into Uncle Wen's arms.

Uncle Wen could not read, and adding on to the fact that they rarely ate pastries, they did not recognize the words Xiangji Shop.

"What are you wasting this money for? You guys can eat, Uncle won't. " Uncle Wen wanted to return the paper packet to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi said: "Uncle Wen, just take it. We have already eaten, and if you keep pushing it around, the snacks inside will be broken and it won't taste good."

Only then did Uncle Wen accept it. "Child, you better not waste any more money in the future."

"Alright, I understand." Xia Yi replied.

The Uncle Wen said: "You guys sit still, I'm going home."

Approaching the village, Xia Yi felt that there was something unusual tonight.

At the foot of the mountain, which should have been dark, there was light.

The flames on the torch flickered, forming a long fire serpent that extended from the base of the mountain to the top.

Xia Yi's first reaction was one that was related to the two people on the mountain.

However, in these two years, the two people on the mountain had maintained a wonderful balance with the village. As long as the people on the mountain didn't go up, they would absolutely not provoke the villagers.

The people in the village didn't dare to go up the mountain anymore, so why would they go and provoke the two people on the mountain in the middle of the night?

"Uncle Wen, what do you think is happening on the mountain? What happened in the village? " Xia Yi thought left and right, but did not have any leads, so she asked Uncle Wen.

Uncle Wen had already stopped the ox-cart, and did not dare to move forward.

"Then... It can't be a ghost flame, right? "

The rumors about the ghosts on the mountain had long penetrated deep into Uncle Wen's heart. He saw that there was something abnormal on the mountain, and naturally started to think about the ghosts and gods.

Xia Yi said: "Uncle Wen, take a closer look, that's a torch, and the torches at the foot of the mountain seem to be more numerous than the torches on the mountain, it should be someone holding a torch."

"Who dares to go up the mountain when the mountain is haunted?" Since it was not a will-o '-the-wisp, Uncle Wen's worries were finally relieved. Waving his whip again, the ox-cart slowly moved forward.

No matter what happened, it had to be related to the two men on the mountain.

Xia Yi urged her: "Uncle Wen, can you hurry up? Let's go back and see what exactly is happening."

He had originally thought that the person carrying the torch up the mountain was from Zhongling Village.

But after entering the village, Xia Yi realized that all the villagers were at home.

Xia Yi did not return home. Instead, she first went to Granny Liu's house to find out what had happened on the mountain.

The Granny Liu said, "Luckily you all didn't go up the mountain. That wave of soldiers and officials on the mountain are like bandits. I don't know what they are looking for, but during the day, they went from house to house looking for flowers. They even knocked over a few pots of my favorite flowers.

Xia Yi frowned, she already knew what these soldiers were looking for.

She didn't know what had happened to the two on the mountain. She was a little selfish and didn't want them to be found.

After all, she was even thinking of making more money out of them.

I don't know if the soldiers can leave tomorrow morning.

Xia Yi regretfully shook her head and led Xia Yang home.
