The third day of the third lunar month is the Shangsi Festival. Also known as the Girls' Festival, this day marks the peak of the peach blossom season. Most young women venture out to the countryside to enjoy the spring scenery, wash their hands and faces in the spring streams, or play by the water, praying for peace and prosperity in the year ahead.
It is a lively, annual celebration, and the streets are filled with more girls than usual.
Lin’s Pastries chose this day to debut their peach blossom cakes, making the timing perfectly appropriate. Thanks to Chunlan’s promotional efforts over the past few days, the peach blossom cakes had already gained a small following. Naturally, these were mostly loyal customers of Lin’s Pastries who had placed their orders well before the festival.
