Chapter 23 Reencounter with Mrs. Lu



Seeing that Sheng Yueqing was printing packaging with a cold face, He Yushen thought she was angry with him, so he looked up at her timidly.

"daughter in law?"

He couldn't figure out what he had said that had made her angry.

The tall man nervously leaned closer, his large eyes darting around as he tried to peek at Sheng Yueqing's expression.

When Sheng Yueqing saw him arrive, she said irritably, "Go make some pancakes!"

"Didn't you see what people need for Chinese New Year?"

He Yushen was scolded and felt a little wronged. "Oh."

"Then I'll go?"

He kept turning back to look at her, seemingly hesitant to leave, which calmed Sheng Yueqing down.

"Go now!"

He Yushen saw the smile hidden in her eyes and then ran away.

He skillfully changed into clean white work clothes, put on a hat and mask, and began to pour flour and adjust the proportions.

Skilled at operating the machine, he then began preparing the filling.

This order has four or five hundred units, and two machines are just enough.

After the dough is made, it is weighed.

At that time, electronic scales were not yet sold on the market, so Sheng Yueqing specially went to buy them from the owner of the equipment factory.

However, an electronic scale is not as fast as weighing by hand.

He Yushen had a very accurate grasp of this matter, and he always got it right.

Once the dough is ready, the filling is ready too.

Start wrapping the filling.

Finish the savory ones first, then move on to the sweet ones.

He Yushen did it very carefully, and the wrapping was neat and tidy.

Finally, when you put it in the oven, you have to pay attention to the time and keep an eye on it.

Because the oven is not as automated at this stage, you need to pay more attention.

These devices are expensive, but they save time.

Otherwise, baking a large quantity of goods by hand would be exhausting.

After Sheng Yueqing finished printing the packaging, she washed herself, changed into her work clothes, and then came to help.

When the husband and wife work together, it's much faster.

The couple finally stopped to rest after finishing their work around 11 or 12 at night.

Seeing that Sheng Yueqing was turning her neck from exhaustion, He Yushen reached out to massage it for her.

But she dodged it.

You're still wearing your work clothes, don't get them dirty.

He Yushen misunderstood.

He was heartbroken, thinking she wouldn't let him touch her.

His eyes were truly red, his nose felt sore, and the tall man, who was 1.9 meters tall, ran straight out.

"He Yushen?"

Where are you going?

Sheng Yueqing looked completely bewildered.

I wonder what's wrong with him this time?

She changed out of her work clothes, washed her hands, and then went out to take a look.

When I got to the front door, I didn't see anyone. When I came back, I found him squatting under the money tree at the entrance of the shop.

That pitiful look of theirs made you think they'd been kicked out.

Sheng Yueqing was both amused and exasperated. She walked over to him and asked, "What are you doing? You haven't even changed your clothes."

Their work clothes are white, and they usually only wear them when making pancakes, so as not to bring them into the studio.

He Yushen felt even more disheartened when he heard that she only cared about her work clothes.

She looked up at her with a resentful expression, about to say something, when she heard someone call out from behind, "Sheng Yueqing?"

Mrs. Lu never expected that she would actually run into Sheng Yueqing in Shanghai.

Judging from their clothes, they must be working here.

Lu Wensheng was surprised to see his beautiful ex-fiancée again.

“Sheng Yueqing? I am Lu Wensheng, the person you were engaged to before.”

Lu Wensheng tossed his hair, convinced that his handsome appearance must have captivated Sheng Yueqing.

Sheng Yueqing only glanced at them indifferently, not taking them to heart at all, and went to call He Yushen, "Come back and change your clothes, don't wear your work clothes outside."

Otherwise, if customers see it, they might think her pancakes aren't clean.

He Yushen was unhappy and wanted her to coax him.

But Lu Wensheng's arrival made him feel the crisis, so he stopped making a fuss and quickly went over to pull Sheng Yueqing into the store.

Lu Wensheng frowned, surprised that they had ignored him.

"Mom, did she not notice me?"

Otherwise, with his handsome and dashing appearance, how could Sheng Yueqing not talk to him?

Mrs. Lu glared at her son. "Why is she paying attention to you? She's already married."

Originally, Lu Wensheng didn't really need Sheng Yueqing that much, but her ignoring him made him feel resentful.

"How can that country bumpkin compare to me? She definitely didn't even notice me when she went in."

Otherwise, I should at least talk to him and build some rapport.

After all, they were engaged. If it weren't for the mix-up with the bride, she would have been his wife long ago.

Looking at Sheng Yueqing's graceful back, Lu Wensheng regarded her as his own possession.

I was about to step into the store.

Mrs. Lu also wanted to see what kind of work Sheng Yueqing was doing here, so she followed her into the store.

Sheng Yueqing was surprised that they had come in, but she didn't chase them away. She put on an apron and started greeting them in work mode.

Would you two like to buy some cakes?

Mrs. Lu looked around the shop's decor and thought it was just ordinary, perhaps clean, but nothing special.

It doesn't have the class of a proper coffee shop; it looks like a small workshop.

"Sheng Yueqing, are you working here?"

Sheng Yueqing did not refute, "Yes, would you two like to buy some cakes?"

Mrs. Lu also wanted to show off her wealth, so she casually pointed to four pieces of cake and said, "I'll take these four."

Sheng Yueqing quickly wrapped the bag and took it to the cashier, saying with a polite smile, "Fifteen yuan in total."

Mrs. Lu frowned. "You're charging me fifteen yuan for just two packets of biscuits? Are you deliberately overcharging me?"

She had been in Shanghai for a few days and knew that prices were high, but not so high that four pancakes would cost fifteen yuan.

Sheng Yueqing smiled slightly, "Our store only offers discounts because we sell at wholesale prices. A single pack of wedding cakes costs six yuan, plus two yuan and fifty cents for the beautiful packaging bag, making it seven yuan and fifty cents in total."

"I thought someone with such good taste would need to be dressed up nicely."

"If you want to switch to regular packaging, it'll only cost 50 cents."

As he spoke, he took off the exquisite packaging box and replaced it with an ordinary paper bag, instantly lowering the overall quality.

Mrs. Lu frowned deeply. "What kind of cake is so expensive? Where is your boss? I want to talk to him."

Sheng Yueqing smiled again, "The boss is busy with other business. We are only responsible for selling and collecting money."

Mrs. Lu was still angry and wanted to say she didn't want it anymore.

Sheng Yueqing said, "If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it. After all, not everyone can afford to buy things in Shanghai."

“For people like us from small towns, fifteen yuan is indeed expensive.”

Mrs. Lu opened her mouth as if to return it, but immediately changed her words to, "Who said I don't want it! Wrap it up for me, it's only fifteen yuan."

Sheng Yueqing then smiled genuinely, "Oh, I'll wrap it up for you right away."

Give her a new, beautifully packaged one.

They also gave me two milk gummies.

"This milk candy is made with milk, so it's good for your health and it's expensive."

"Since we're from the same hometown, I'll secretly give you two yuan. Don't tell anyone."

Mrs. Lu scoffed at her apparent business acumen.

"Just two gummies? You really think I can't afford them?"

"Give me five boxes."

I took them back as New Year's gifts to give to people.
