The other three members of the Gu family looked at Manager Cheng and thought Xin Xin's suggestion was good. It was already afternoon, and it would be too much trouble for them to find a place to set up a stall!
Manager Cheng: "..."
Is this how children are taught in the village now? They seize every opportunity to teach – that's impressive!
Judging from what you're saying, you say it's a gift, but what if it tastes good? Wouldn't that make him buy it again?
Forget it, I'll give it a try. I've never heard of this cake before. Like the spicy chili sauce, it sounds like something new and interesting. I won't lose anything by trying it.
“Second Master Gu, Madam Gu, this is not right of you. You’re hiding good things away. Are you trying to sell them to someone else? I won’t stand for that!” Manager Cheng interrupted before the two Gu family elders could speak.
"Manager Cheng, you're too kind. Since you don't mind, let's take a look together! Even if you don't buy anything, we're partners now, so it's fine to give you a gift." Cai Xiaolian said, leading her people to the oxcart.
Manager Cheng was very satisfied with the food the Gu family had prepared after just one glance.
The bamboo basket was lined with a white cloth, and the top was also covered with a white cloth. When opened, there were no visible stains inside.
The white porcelain bowl was opened, revealing the cake inside.
Cai Xiaolian still cut a piece according to the size for sale and gave it to Manager Cheng.
Manager Cheng took it and took a bite.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. If I'm not mistaken, there are eggs, flour, and sugar in this, right?" Manager Cheng asked after finishing his meal in a few bites.
"We can't say that outright. Manager Cheng, you're so good with words, what if you tell us you've made it yourself? Wouldn't that negate our business?" Cai Xiaolian joked.
“Mother, Manager Cheng isn’t that kind of person. Don’t talk nonsense. Besides, we figured it out ourselves. If we’re missing just one ingredient, the flavor will be completely different,” Gu Shouxin said.
"Brother Gu, you two stop teasing me. Just because I can eat doesn't mean I can cook! How much is this cake? I've bought it all, so you can go home earlier and make me some pickled chili sauce!" Manager Cheng quickly begged for forgiveness.
He couldn't argue with this couple, so it was best to end things sooner rather than later.
One yuan is worth four hundred coins. They had a total of twenty yuan, and Manager Cheng bought them all for eight taels of silver.
"If it sells well, we can bring it over to sell in the future." After paying the money and having the shop assistant bring the goods, Manager Cheng looked at Gu Nian and said, "Miss Gu, you can come up with more food ideas. Whether it's pastries or pickled chili peppers, they are all quite novel. But after the novelty wears off, they become mundane. Only by constantly introducing new products can the money keep flowing in."
"Thank you, Uncle Cheng. I have a question for you." Gu Nian had a good impression of Manager Cheng.
"What do you want to say, young lady?" Manager Cheng also quite liked the two girls, and his smile became even more genuine.
"Uncle Cheng, do you know where I can buy milk? If so, I can make some new desserts," Gu Nian said.
"Milk, huh? Well, how about this: you leave your address, and I can deliver it to you once I find it. If any new pastries come out, I'd just like you to bring them to me to sell, how about that?" Manager Cheng asked after thinking for a moment.
He had a lot of confidence in this family of four.
Gu Nian looked at Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian.
"Of course!" Seeing that Cai Xiaolian did not object, Gu Shouxin nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Manager Cheng, for today."
