When Zhou Xiaohong came to pick up her goods, Lin Lan suddenly realized the fifteenth of next month was the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was time to start preparing to make mooncakes.
"Sister Zhou, what do you use to bake your sponge cakes?"
"I had Master Lu build me an earthen oven. He's from the north, and the ovens he builds work exceptionally well." Zhou Xiaohong smiled at her. "Are you planning to make mooncakes?"
Lin Lan laughed. "Sister Zhou, you're a natural at business. How did you know what I was planning to do from just one question?"
Zhou Xiaohong's eyes crinkled into a smile. "The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the fifteenth of next month, and you're asking how I bake my sponge cakes. It was an easy guess! I'll find Master Lu for you when I close up my stall. You can talk to him yourself."
"Thank you! When my sister gets back, I'll come to your place first to see what the earthen oven looks like."
