Chapter 77 Leisurely Dessert

The price of You Ran Food is not expensive, the ingredients are solid, and the service is good.

The waiters who come in are all smiling and they are pretty boys and girls.

What surprised him the most was that there was a woman in the waiter at Youranju!

Even if a guest is in a bad mood, it is difficult for him to get angry when he sees such a child.

It seems that their store also needs to learn from this.

He looked at the white walls on both sides again. He had only seen breakfast just now, but there were also pictures of lunch, showing various kinds of noodles. Cao Liang also wanted to try it.

They spent half an hour on the meal and were still not satisfied, so they called the waiter to settle the bill.

The waitress who came was the same one from before. She looked at the bill and quickly calculated the price.

Cao Liang was surprised. There weren't many people in this town who could read and write. He asked, "Little girl, since you can read, why are you working as a waiter?"

The waitress smiled and explained, "My dear customer, I am just an ordinary farmer. I can't read. I came to the store to receive training as a manager."

Cao Liang was even more surprised. "You learned to write after just a few days of training?"

The waitress shook her head: "We don't know how to write."

Cao Liang felt that the waitress must be lying to him: "Then you didn't miscalculate the food I ordered just now!"

Cao Li also looked at her curiously.

The waitress said in a friendly manner, "Each of our dishes has a unique code. As long as we memorize the code, we can never go wrong."

After he said that, Cao Liang really looked at the wall and found that there was a small icon behind each picture.

If Cao Liang knew numbers, he would be able to tell that they were Arabic numerals.

Xie Shuangbai had thought of it early on. Since there were few people in Dayin who could read, he could code the dishes so that as long as they memorized them, they wouldn't make any mistakes.

Now Cao Liang really admires the owner of Youran Ju.

He, the shop owner, knew that if the waiter was illiterate and made a mistake in the order, not to mention whether he would make money or not, he would have to pay more compensation to resolve the issue later, and the most important thing was that he lost face.

Therefore, their shop has quite a lot of expenses in this area every year. If they can learn this method, they can reduce the number of mistakes.

After paying the bill, Cao Liang walked out of Youran Gourmet thoughtfully and went to Youran Dessert.

Before they reached the door, they saw the servant who had just joined the queue.

He waited in line for so long before he could buy a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

The servant saw them and ran over, "Master, there were so many people that I could only buy this!"

Only then did Cao Liang know that this was called sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Xie Shuangbai had calculated it right: almost everyone loves hot sugar-roasted chestnuts.

The Cao brothers were no exception. Even though they had just eaten a full meal, they still felt like they could fill their stomachs when they smelled the sweet chestnuts.

They were holding chestnuts and were about to enter the dessert shop when they were pushed aside by several maids.

The two of them looked inside and saw that the small shop was packed with people, most of them were women.

Fortunately, a large group of people had just left, so I could still move forward a little.

As soon as they entered, they smelled a rich milky aroma.

They were just looking at what to buy when they heard a female voice.

"This is freshly baked bread. Please make way for it."

As soon as the clerk finished speaking, the crowd became excited, and everyone was eager to try with trays and tongs.

Cao Li found it interesting and quickly followed their lead, taking two plates and tongs to share one portion with his brother.

The two also joined the battle for bread.

The freshly baked breads include croissants and milk buns, which are both loved by children.

Many people there were fighting for their children.

As soon as the bread came out, the crowd went crazy.

There was no way Cao Li and Cao Liang, two grown men, could squeeze past these crazy women.

Before the two could react, the bread was snatched away in an instant.

Those who got it were satisfied, while those who didn’t got it looked disappointed.

Cao Li refused to believe it and insisted on giving it a try. However, no matter what category came out, he couldn't get it.

He stood aside, staring at a chubby child eating egg tarts.

He just found out that this is called egg tart, and he really wants this egg tart.

He took a bite of the hot egg tart, and the crispy sound made him swallow his saliva.

Cao Li swore that he must eat it today!

But today's egg tarts have just been sold out.

Only then did they realize that the pastries at Youran Desserts had to be snatched up, and some categories were even subject to purchase limits.

Cao Li was so greedy that he was about to go back reluctantly when he heard someone calling him.

"Second Uncle Cao?"

A gentle female voice.

Cao Li looked back and it seemed to be... the girl from the Xiao family.

His nephew's cousin, Xiao Jinglin.

He smiled and said, "My eldest niece also comes to the You Ran Dessert to buy things!"

Xiao Jinglin felt a little embarrassed. The Cao family made pastries. He didn't go to his second aunt's house to buy pastries, but was caught buying large and small bags from his rival. It was really embarrassing.

She smiled awkwardly: "My friend said the new shop is good, I will buy some back for my great grandfather to try."

Xiao Jinglin saw that Cao Li had nothing in his hand, and thought of what he had just seen.

"Uncle Cao seems to have missed the queue. The things in this shop are good, but hard to find. I happened to buy a lot, so Uncle Cao will take some back for the Cao family's younger brothers and sisters to try."

The maidservant beside Xiao Jinglin was very perceptive and immediately handed over two egg tarts, two croissants, custard buns, four hamburgers and four portions of French fries.

Cao Li felt embarrassed. As an elder, how could he have the nerve to take things from the younger generation?

Xiao Jinglin noticed his embarrassment and said with a smile, "Uncle Cao, this isn't for you. It's for my cousins. Please help me convey it to them."

Cao Li couldn't refuse anymore, so he let the servant take it and invited him with a smile: "Niece, come to your house to play with your cousin someday. You are of the same age, so you should visit each other often!"

Xiao Jinglin said considerately, "Okay, Second Uncle, you should return home as soon as possible. The cakes won't taste good if they get cold."

Cao Li exchanged a few more pleasantries with her, then got into the carriage parked at the door and headed home.

Cao Liang was feeling suffocated in the house and had been waiting for his brother in the carriage. Seeing him ask the servants to bring a few packages, he asked curiously, "Did you really grab some?"

Cao Li smiled awkwardly: "No, I met Jing Lin's niece, she gave it to me."

Cao Liang got angry when he heard this: "You are confused. How can you, an elder, ask for gifts from a younger person?"

Cao Li was also unhappy when he heard this, and said angrily: "This is not for me, he saw that I waited in line for a long time and didn't get one, so he gave it to Cao Hui and the others."

Cao Liang looked at his younger brother and wondered how he had grown so big. He was obviously being polite, yet he still took so much stupidly!

Besides, my sister doesn’t get along with their grandmother in the Xiao family. Although it is not known to everyone, everyone in the family knows it.

Now he even took the eldest wife’s things. Isn’t this... a slap in the face!

Alas! He really doesn't want to talk anymore!

Cao Liang was right. As soon as Xiao Jinglin returned, gossip started to spread.

She said that the second master of the Cao family was so poor that he even snatched snacks from the Xiao family. This made Cao Fang so angry that she threw the jade ruyi in the room.

Not only did he scold the family for not helping her, but he also held her back and scolded his second brother Cao Li in the house.

For a while, the people were afraid to say a word, for fear of getting themselves into trouble.

Pink bubbles are coming tomorrow, so everyone get your stools ready!
