Other small business owners, seeing how exquisite his packaging and products were, exchanged glances and felt inexplicably guilty.

"Director Zhao, you're truly amazing. Even this box looks beautiful."

"And with so many flavors, it's really appealing."

They had actually thought of this method, but they were making cookies, and the filling was different.

It comes with strawberry filling and milk filling.

Even the colors of the cookies are different.

Even the boxes are like those of Factory Director Zhao, they are drawer boxes, with different flavors separated.

However, since they all saw that Director Zhao was using this kind of box, it was naturally inappropriate to take it out.

To avoid having the same idea as someone else.

Seeing their timid expressions, Director Zhao assumed they weren't doing as well as him and felt a bit smug.

A young boss from Kyoto scoffed, "It's just a potato chip, nothing special."

Factory Director Zhao glanced at the other person's attire; the suit was expensive, and the watch was also expensive.

You can tell someone's family is wealthy just by their demeanor.

Moreover, being so young and impetuous, he is clearly a rich kid.

Factory Director Zhao guessed correctly; this young, wealthy second-generation boss was none other than the young master of the Bai family, who had been among the top three in this competition.

The Bai family owns a flour mill and meat products.

Bai family's cured meat is exceptional, and their products are sold all over the country.

Sausages, in particular, sell very well; every household buys them as gifts or to eat themselves during the Lunar New Year.

Bai Jiafu is so wealthy, no wonder his son was able to open a factory in Shanghai at such a young age.

Still so aloof and superior.

Factory Director Zhao ignored the other party's disdain and even asked questions with a smile.

"What product is Young Master Bai carrying? It must be something extraordinary, right?"

"After all, they're from Kyoto, so they're definitely different from us."

The other bosses echoed this sentiment.

I'm actually curious to see what products the owner from Kyoto will make.

The young master of the Bai family did satisfy their curiosity.

"What I make is not just simple cookies and potato chips."

"I make royal palace desserts."

His maternal grandmother's family had been making imperial pastries for generations, and the recipes had been passed down through generations.

Nowadays, his family also owns many confectionery shops in Kyoto, and they sell quite well.

I brought their royal pastries to participate in the brand selection competition.

Director Zhao had tried Bai's pastries before, and thought they were just so-so.

The crust is flaky, but not as crispy as Sheng Yueqing's wedding cakes.

And when you bite into it, it's all crumbs, and it falls everywhere.

The filling was also very dry and sticky.

He suspected that the customers of Bai's pastries were all elderly women.

Otherwise, why would anyone love eating pastries that are so sticky and greasy?

It stuck to my palate after one bite.

Anyway, that old man doesn't like it.

Others had never tried it, but upon hearing that it was from the imperial court, they thought it must be wonderful and were quite eager to try it.

Young Master Bai waved his hand generously, and his assistant brought out his own snacks. "Try them all. If you like them, come and order from my store again."

Factory Director Zhao and several bosses tried it.

The taste seems to have improved, but it's still cloying.

Moreover, this kind of pastry is too dry and still not crispy enough.

It does taste delicious to the average person.

But those of them who are used to eating good food think it's just average.

They're not even as good as Sheng Yueqing's wedding cakes.

Factory Director Zhao clicked his tongue inwardly, wondering why he kept praising Sheng Yueqing's wedding cakes.

However, to be fair, even people who don't like sweets can eat a piece of Sheng Yueqing's wedding cake, and it's not greasy at all.

Even though Huang Nianyan disliked Sheng Yueqing so much, she still wanted to eat Sheng Yueqing's wedding cakes when she had morning sickness.

It's clear that if it tastes good, even someone who hates you can eat it.

Seeing their varied expressions as they ate, and finding it less than the amazing experience he had imagined, Young Master Bai was somewhat disappointed.

Actually, ordinary people think that the pastries from the Bai family must be very delicious if they come from the imperial court.

It was alright after eating it.

But he has also eaten pastries from many different manufacturers, and they are all pretty good.

His brand is a royal brand, and he has many stores; otherwise, he really couldn't compete.

The main reason I came to Shanghai this time was to see if my newly developed pastries would win the favor of the judges.

The pastries he makes are different from those sold in shops; he has made many improvements.

After tasting it countless times, he had others try it as well, and in the end, they all said it was delicious.

So he came full of confidence this time.

Of course, there is another purpose for coming here.

It was just to have a chat with Sheng Yueqing from the Sheng family.

He knew about the Sheng family.

Everyone in Beijing knows the Sheng family.

He had never met Sheng Yueqing, but he had eaten her family's wedding cakes.

Although they are both Chinese pastries, Sheng Yueqing's wedding cakes are exceptionally delicious.

The wedding cakes were as big as a man's palm; one cake was enough for the whole family to have for afternoon tea.

Unlike the flaky crusts of other pastries, this one was crispy and crumbly, not greasy or dry.

It's a thin layer of skin, but it feels like it's folded into a thousand layers, giving it a very unique texture when you bite into it.

His family thought the crust was very good after trying it, so they wanted to imitate it.

But the results were never satisfactory.

Then I tasted the filling; the filling was excellent.

The red bean filling alone is very substantial, not too sweet or greasy, and very fragrant.

His family also makes red bean cakes, but they all have a lot of sugar in them.

Young people don't like it; they find it too sweet.

The elderly like to eat it, but they can't eat too much and get tired of it.

However, the box of wedding cakes that Sheng Yueqing had was completely eaten by her family.

Nobody says they're tired of it.

He was so eager to know the recipe for the wedding cakes that he came here hoping to make a deal with Sheng Yueqing.

If Sheng Yueqing was willing, he would spend a lot of money to buy the formula from her.

After all, the Sheng family has fallen from power, so she must be very short of money.
