Mrs. Lu didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only quickly boil water and make tea.
She brought her own fine tea set, hoping to have the opportunity to showcase the Lu family's strength to the Bai family.
Sure enough, the finest white jade teaware paired with fragrant rose tea instantly elevated the overall quality of the tea.
A delicate rose fragrance wafts through the air, especially the pink roses blooming in the white teacup, which look elegant and beautiful.
Madam Bai remarked with surprise, "This flower tea is quite nice, it smells very good."
She picked it up, took a sip, and found the fragrance lingering on her lips and teeth; she immediately fell in love with it.
"Where did you buy this flower tea?"
Mrs. Lu was relieved that she hadn't expected her to like it.
But she didn't want to tell her that she bought it from a village girl, so she said, "It was a gift from someone."
"This is my first time trying it too, and I didn't expect it to taste so good."
Mrs. Bai did like the taste, so she tried a piece of the wedding cake on the plate.
I took a small bite with my fork and put it in my mouth. I just wanted to sip it with my tea, but the taste was surprisingly amazing.
"Who makes this pancake? It tastes really good."
Mrs. Lu was surprised that such wedding cakes could catch Mrs. Bai's eye, and thought to herself that the thirty yuan was well spent.
He laughed and said, "It was a gift from someone else. I heard that this brand makes wedding cakes specifically for wealthy families, and they don't sell them individually."
She was telling the truth. Sheng Yueqing told her that it was bought wholesale and was so expensive, it was obviously something a wealthy family would eat.
People from humble backgrounds would never be willing to buy a six-yuan pack of biscuits.
The packaging is also expensive.
Madam Bai picked up the packaging bag and looked at it. "Auspicious day for marriage?"
She felt the shop name looked familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
However, the cakes did taste really good, quite different from the wedding cakes she had eaten before.
Seeing that she liked it, Mrs. Lu immediately said, "If you like it, I'll go buy it myself tomorrow and send it to you."
Mrs. Bai smiled and waved her hand, "I can't accept that. I'll have my son buy it. It's more convenient for him to drive."
In those days, owning a car was a big deal, let alone the Bai family having three.
Mrs. Lu was even more pleased when she heard that her family had three cars.
“No trouble at all. I was just about to pay a visit to Old Master Bai. He took good care of my father-in-law back then.”
"My father-in-law also asked me to bring a lot of good things to Old Master Bai this time."
Although Madam Bai didn't really want her to go, she was worried that the old man might accidentally agree to their marriage, which would cause trouble.
But since they had already said it, it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse, so I smiled and said, "Okay, then come over tomorrow and I'll treat you well."
"However, my grandfather's health has been declining these past two years, so he may not be able to chat with us."
Mrs. Lu didn't notice her refusal and assumed that the old man was too old to come out for a chat for long. She smiled and said, "I just brought some things for the old man and wanted to see him."
As for the rest, Madam Bai's approval is still required.
After all, as people get older, their voice diminishes.
She mainly wanted to curry favor with Madam Bai.
Madam Bai understood and smiled, "Alright, see you tomorrow."
As soon as Mrs. Bai left, Mrs. Lu hurriedly went downstairs to call a car, as she needed to go and buy some wedding cakes and flower tea from Sheng Yueqing.
I thought Sheng Yueqing's shop was simply decorated and didn't look high-end, but I didn't expect the wedding cakes and flower tea she made to be so delicious.
Since Mrs. Bai likes it, of course we should buy more.
Sheng Yueqing was surprised to see Mrs. Lu again.
I thought she was there to cause trouble.
Just as they were getting ready to get started, Mrs. Lu said with a haughty look, "Give me ten more boxes of those wedding cakes."
"Give me ten boxes of flower tea too."
Sheng Yueqing smiled when she saw that she clearly wanted to buy it but pretended not to like it.
He feigned indifference and said, "Ten boxes? We have to pre-order everything in our store. I really can't provide so many if you suddenly want them."
Mrs. Lu panicked, "That won't do!"
She had already promised Madam Bai that she would take them with her; if she didn't, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
Mrs. Lu, no longer caring about her pride, softened her tone and said, "How about this, you give me the rest of the money from others first, and I'll give you extra money."
Sheng Yueqing pretended to be troubled, "But...these are all orders placed by wealthy and powerful families, how could I dare to do that?"
Mrs. Lu understood and took out a wad of banknotes from her bag. "I have plenty of money. Just consider it a favor to me."
Sheng Yueqing accepted the money with a 'difficult' expression.
"Alright, since we're from the same hometown, I'll give you the pancake first."
"By the way, would you like premium packaging?"
Mrs. Lu: "Of course."
This is a gift for my future in-laws, so it naturally needs to be packaged in a high-end way.
Sheng Yueqing quickly packed them for her, "How about I pack five portions of the savory one and five portions of the sweet one for you?"
Mrs. Lu wasn't sure which flavors were good, so Sheng Yueqing gave her some samples to try.
"There are samples here, they're all freshly made, please try them."
Mrs. Lu looked at the wedding cakes cut into small triangles on the white plate, picked one up with a toothpick and tried it. The flaky crust was crunchy and crispy, the filling was sweet but not greasy, and it didn't leave a sticky feeling in her mouth. It was indeed delicious.
Then there's the fresh meat. The ham is fragrant, not too salty or too oily, and it's really delicious when you bite into the layers of flaky pastry.
Mrs. Lu nodded admiringly, "There's a reason why it's more expensive."
"Where is your boss from? His cooking is so good!"
Sheng Yueqing smiled and said, "I don't know. The boss is very mysterious. We only see him once in a long while."
"Many people have never met the owner and think the shop is owned by us."
Sheng Yueqing said these things on purpose, simply because she was afraid that the He family would come and try to take advantage of them if they found out that they were business owners here.
