Early the next day, the snow was thick.
In the village, people from every family were climbing on their roofs to sweep the snow.
By the time Xiao'er's family stepped outside their house, the snow on their roof had already been thoroughly cleaned.
Xiao'er woke up at dawn, on purpose, and baked some pastries in the kitchen to present to Mrs. Liu's old friends in the village.
The pastries from Liu Jingshu's bakery had become the preferred gifts for many businessmen traveling to the Imperial Capital for their families and friends. Branches of her shop have opened in many counties near the capital, and a new one was set to open in Shengping County that year. Even though her bakery had not yet opened branches everywhere in the nation, its pastries were already nationally known. This was the reason why Xiao'er woke up early to bake cakes, so that those who had extended their warmth to her family could taste the nation's renowned cakes.
