Chapter 1505 Shu Yu's Test
As Shu Yu stepped into the shop, she looked up at the furnishings. The shop was indeed small, but the arrangement was exceptionally exquisite, giving one a very relaxing feeling upon entering.
Shu Yu pursed her lips and nodded silently.
Yingxi, on the other hand, kept his head down, seemingly unaccustomed to the world and quite uncomfortable.
Wei Ronghua was very kind. "What kind of pastry would you like to buy, sir? Did you have anything you liked when you came?"
Shu Yu lowered her voice slightly and said somewhat shyly, "My eldest daughter is getting married, so I bought some pastries to entertain the guests."
Wei Ronghua understood and, with a smile, led the two to a corner.
As they walked, he explained, "Since this is for entertaining guests, the quantity should be quite generous. Now that it's Mid-Autumn Festival, the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, so this osmanthus cake is just right. Moreover, it has a refreshing taste, sweet but not cloying, and the price is reasonable. If guests buy a large quantity, I can even offer you a discount."
Shu Yu understood. Now was the peak season for osmanthus flowers, making it a seasonal pastry. Therefore, even if osmanthus cake wasn't the cheapest, it was still affordable for ordinary people.
Wei Ronghua's recommendation was truly made with her in mind.
Shu Yu then asked in a low voice, "Which one is the osmanthus cake?"
There were many pastries on the shelf, colorful and pretty.
Wei Ronghua took out a light yellow flower-shaped pastry and said, "Sister-in-law, you can try it. If you like it, then you can decide whether to buy it or not."
After saying that, he cut two small pieces and handed them to Shu Yu and Ying Xi respectively.
Just as the two were about to eat, the waiter who had been staring at them came over, looking angry and ready to speak.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ronghua raised his head, frowned, and said in a low voice, "There are guests over there."
The man turned his head and glanced at it, then immediately fell silent.
Although he was dissatisfied with Shu Yu and the other person, there were two other groups of customers in the shop who were clearly from wealthy families. If he caused trouble in front of them, it would not sound good to his reputation.
Therefore, the guy didn't say anything more, but could only glare fiercely at the group.
Shu Yu watched silently. Wei Ronghua clearly knew how to manage the shop's employees; he was a shrewd and calculating person.
She lowered her head and ate the pastry.
The pastries weren't particularly amazing; they were just average.
If a customer is picky, they might find the pastry a bit bland and not sweet enough.
That's normal; sugar isn't cheap these days.
"How did the guest feel?"
Shu Yu paused for a moment, then continued in a low voice, "I need to go back and discuss this with my family. I'll come back to buy it tomorrow, okay?"
Wei Ronghua smiled and said, "Of course."
Shu Yu seemed relieved. "By the way, I heard that your shop recently launched a new type of pastry, which even received praise from the county magistrate's wife. I wonder..."
"The guest is referring to hibiscus cake, right?" Wei Ronghua pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Please wait a moment, guest."
Shu Yu was stunned for a moment, and saw Wei Ronghua turn around and go to the counter. He came back a moment later with a plate in his hand, on which were two small pieces of pastry.
He then had Shu Yu and Ying Xi try it.
This pastry is much tastier than osmanthus cake. It's soft and fluffy, sweet but not cloying, and refreshing. No wonder it received praise from the magistrate's wife.
Shu Yu looked up and asked, "How much do these pastries cost? I'd like to buy a few."
