There was also a simpler dessert menu without pictures, just one sheet with all kinds of desserts. There was no need to flip through the pages to memorize it, but unfortunately, she couldn't recognize all the words.
Compared to her second brother and eldest sister's diligent efforts in learning the dessert menu word by word from the tutor, her learning was really only half-baked!
She doesn't recognize at least nine out of ten characters, and she still hasn't mastered them.
Tan Xiangxiang frowned and impatiently shoved the form in her hand into An Ning's hands.
"Prepare according to this list. Take as much as you can find on this list."
An Ning took the order, didn't even glance at it, and licked her lips.
"Um...sir, although I didn't remember everything you said right away, I got the gist of it."
The quantity you ordered is actually only about half of what the store had left; it's far from what you needed.
Tan Xiangxiang replied without hesitation.
"Then make up for the rest with other things, at least make up for the amount of these desserts and drinks."
Money is not a problem, hurry up and get ready, I'm in a rush.
An Yi, who was lying listlessly on the sofa, couldn't sit still any longer after hearing Tan Xiangxiang order so many desserts. She staggered over, her legs weak, and collapsed towards her.
Holy crap!
Has his family struck it rich?!
This is definitely a big spender!!!
We absolutely have to fawn over them and serve them well!
An Yi, a sycophant, bowed and scraped beside Tan Xiangxiang, smiling obsequiously.
"Oh, don't worry, sir, we guarantee we've prepared enough goods for you."
I guarantee I'll pack up every last item in my shop for you.
It will be done in no more than 15 minutes. Please go sit on the sofa and rest for a while.
Fourth Sister! Aren't you going to serve the guest tea? Please come and sit down. What are you standing there for?
An Ning was taken aback by the reprimand. "Huh? Oh, oh!" she replied. She quickly put on a smiling face and invited Tan Xiangxiang to sit on the sofa. She hurriedly served her good tea and, while making the tea, ran to the backyard to find An Le.
"Little sister, it's big, it's really big!"
"What's wrong, Fourth Sister? You rushed in like this, without even changing your slippers, and you've made the floor wet."
I've reminded you so many times that you need to change into slippers when you come in.
Anle, who was lying on the desk, looked at the water stains on the floor and grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"No, this is a really big deal!"
There's no time to lose! Don't sit here, come with me to the front!
The woman who came to our shop last time to discuss pastry recipes with you is here again. You can't mistake her voice.
"This time, I'm planning to buy up all the desserts in your shop!"
Anle's little face froze, then she exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? What did you say?"
That woman?
The He family?
"Hey, why don't you go up and take a look? You can lend a hand and help us pack."
"Hey... wait, wait, why are you in such a hurry? My clothes... I haven't changed my clothes yet." Anle, who was wearing sandals, stumbled as Anning pulled her.
“My aunt, my parents, and my second brother have all gone back to the village, so they're not here now.”
My older sister is learning the piano from Teacher Zhen.
Now you're the only one with plenty of free time.
"My third brother and I are too busy to handle this. How can I not be anxious when we have such a big customer?" As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Anle, who was wearing cartoon pajamas.
"Besides, it's not me who's in a hurry, it's that woman. She looked so rushed and flustered, like she was in a hurry to do something."
We only have 15 minutes to pack, so let's hurry.
"Okay, okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll change my clothes and come over shortly." Anle waved helplessly at Anning.
Watching An Ning leave, An Le covered his forehead, looking exasperated, and muttered to himself.
"What's wrong with this woman?"
Are they from the He family?
They actually bought out all the goods from my Paradise Dessert Shop! That's quite a generous offer!
As soon as Anle entered the store, she saw Tan Xiangxiang sitting on the sofa by the window drinking lemon black tea. She smiled in a formulaic way, as if she had nothing to do, and strolled over.
"Guest, I apologize for the neglect. We are short-staffed today and I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience. As an apology, I would like to present you with a rose."
Tan Xiangxiang glanced at the rose that An Le was offering with surprise, then took it, examined the rose, and then looked at the creamy yellow ribbon wrapped around the rose stem.
"Rose? This flower looks novel; I've never seen a flower like this before."
Could this be the rose petals used in those rose petal cakes?
Are rose petal cakes made with rose petals as filling?
“You are truly wise, esteemed guest. Indeed, these are the flowers used in rose petal cakes.”
"Aren't you afraid that if I tell you this, it will steal your business?"
If I go back and find these rose petals to use as filling, then these rose petal cakes won't be the only ones available at your Paradise Dessert Shop anymore.
Anle smiled, her eyes narrowing.
"Hehe, not at all. This rose petal cake isn't made with just this one filling."
This is just one ingredient in the rose petal cake filling; this single rose petal ingredient alone is not enough to create a rose petal cake that rivals the taste of those from My Paradise Dessert Shop.
Tan Xiangxiang gave a soft hum.
"You're really confident!"
"But this flower is really beautiful. It's a pity that no matter how beautiful it is, it's just a flower that anyone can pick. That's its fate. In the end, it can't escape being picked and trampled."
Tan Xiangxiang sighed softly, seemingly without a word, whether she was sighing for the flower or for herself.
Anle spoke with a smile that seemed innocent and naive.
"The guest is really quite sentimental!"
Not only these flowers, but everything in this world eventually withers; we must still strive to live and bloom in all our might.
Tan Xiangxiang's eyes darkened, and she gave a meaningful, intriguing smile.
"That's right, what you said really resonated with me."
No matter what it is, we should fight for it!
Even flowers meant only for gardening, even those without the crape myrtle bloom, have the right to peek over the wall and compete with spring for beauty. They can't just wither away in the garden, can they?
"Please have a seat here, I'll go pack your dessert." Anle smiled and gave a slight bow before turning and walking towards the counter.
The smile on his lips gradually faded; this woman was no ordinary person.
What does it mean that they suddenly packed up all the goods in her paradise dessert shop?
What does she want to do?
Filled with doubt and puzzlement, he packed up the goods, calculated the bill, loaded them onto the carriage, and then saw Tan Xiangxiang off at the door, watching the carriage disappear into the distance.
