Chapter 529 Another deal
Chen Wan'er's face turned red with embarrassment because of Ran Qingxuan's words "little nephew".
"Sixth brother's wife, what are you talking about? The baby is still young and we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl!"
"Oh, no matter it's a boy or a girl, they are all our treasures."
Old Madam Gu was more open-minded. Even though Xuan'er was her only grandchild, she loved her very much.
Now that her sons are back, she will definitely have children in the future. She loves them no matter whether they are boys or girls.
Naturally, the Gu family has always had a positive moral character, and for Old Madam Gu, it really doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl.
Ran Qingxuan just smiled and said nothing, without further explanation.
Chen Wan'er kept Ran Qingxuan's instructions in mind and stopped after eating another steamed egg with sea urchin.
But the delicious taste still lingered between her lips and teeth, and Chen Wan'er almost couldn't help but eat another one.
Gu Yanjing picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for her and comforted her, "When you are older, I will prepare it for you every day."
Chen Wan'er smiled very sweetly. Seeing that Chen Wan'er was no longer sad all day long, the Chen family was relieved and happy for the young couple.
After eating and drinking, at the signal of Ran Qingxuan, Chang Fang and others quietly turned off the oil lamp used for lighting.
The living room was plunged into darkness in an instant, and before they could ask, tiny dots of starlight approached from outside.
"Happy birthday to you…"
Ran Qingxuan, Chang Fang and others sang the birthday song softly, and almost everyone's eyes were on Xuan'er.
The little girl was sensible enough. After realizing that this was prepared for her, she jumped up happily.
Ancient people had never heard birthday songs, so they were curious about the catchy and pleasant tune and instinctively followed the beat.
Ran Qingxuan slowly walked forward carrying a chocolate-flavored strawberry cake. Her originally cold and beautiful face looked even more charming under the candlelight.
Gu Yanchen raised the corners of his lips slightly in the dim candlelight, thinking that she would belong to him alone in the future...
"Xuan'er, today is your birthday. Aunt Six has prepared a cake and a gift for you."
"Cake? Gift?"
Xuan'er saw that the cake was black and was a little confused for a moment.
"Xuan'er, make a wish and blow out the candles."
The others didn't understand what it meant, so the fifth sister-in-law asked with a smile, "Is there any saying about making a wish and blowing out the candles?"
In fact, there is no explanation. Ran Qingxuan couldn't explain to them that the ancient Greeks celebrated the birthday of Artemis, the goddess of the moon, by placing candles and honey cakes to symbolize the brightness and sacredness of the moon.
Later, it evolved into blowing out candles on children’s birthdays and praying for their wishes to come true…
"Make a wish and blow out the candles, praying that your wish will come true. It also symbolizes that our Xuan'er has grown another year older."
Although she was confused, Xuan'er still prepared to make a wish according to what Ran Qingxuan said.
Ran Qingxuan saw that she was about to speak out her wish, so he quickly said, "Xuan'er, you have to make a wish in your heart. It won't work if you speak it out loud."
Everyone else was watching this with a smile. Xuan'er imitated Ran Qingxuan's actions and clasped her hands together.
After a few seconds, Xuan'er opened her eyes.
"Aunt Liu, can I blow it now?"
"Blow it!"
Chen Yueer looked at him enviously, and whispered to her mother that she would blow out the candles and make a wish on her birthday too...
"Yue'er's birthday is in April. When the time comes, I'll ask your sister Ran to make a cake for you as well."
"Okay, but I can't wait any longer."
Chen Yue'er's words made everyone laugh. Although they had already eaten, they were still overwhelmed by the taste of the chocolate strawberry cake.
Especially for children who like sweets, adults will leave the sweets in their hands for them after taking a bite.
Duan Ling fell in love with it instantly after taking one bite. Not only the cake, but also the chocolate chips sprinkled on it tasted like nothing she had ever tasted before.
"Sister Ran, did you do this?"
"Uh... sort of..."
She couldn't explain that this thing was bought from the space, but it was easy to make a cake.
The making methods of cake base and cream, there is an ingredient list in the mall, and you can find a lot of them just by buying anything.
Seeing Duan Ling's eyes lighting up, Ran Qingxuan instantly thought of what her family did.
"You don't want to open a shop and sell cakes, do you?"
Before he finished speaking, Duan Ling kept nodding.
"This thing is different from the ordinary cakes. It is so novel. It will definitely attract the favor of the ladies after it is launched."
Ran Qingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. Any pastry chef with some basic skills would be able to learn this with just a little study.
A small cake may not look impressive, but it can bring huge profits.
Moreover, the cakes come in a variety of flavors, so even those who don’t like sweets will enjoy a few bites.
"Sister Ran, how about we cooperate? I will still provide the store and you will provide the technology."
Ran Qingxuan thought about it, felt that the cost was a bit high, and asked tentatively.
"The Duan family should have a wide range of business, so they must have opened a pastry shop, right?"
Duan Ling nodded: "There are cake shops, but they are not as profitable as restaurants and clothing stores."
Before leaving Silver Moon City, Ran Qingxuan had already greeted Qi Minghe. After Duan Ling went there, the three chefs and several stewards followed the Qi family team and set off to various cities.
There should be quite a few shops now. From the information she received, people have high expectations for hot pot restaurants.
But if I reopen the cake shop, the cost will be quite high.
Ran Qingxuan thought about it for a moment and came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.
"How about I sell you the cake recipe? That way, we don't have to open a new shop and it's a win-win situation for both of us. How about that?"
Duan Ling's eyes lit up after hearing this. This way, she could save a lot of trouble. She just had to follow the recipe.
Duan Yi didn't expect that his cousin could close a deal just by eating a cake.
He looked at his good brother with a somewhat amused look, only to find that he was staring at Ran Qingxuan.
His heart felt like it had been hit hard, and Duan Yi now regretted staying.
Even after the cooperation was concluded, Ran Qingxuan did not forget that he still had important things to do.
I told my family that I was planning to buy some land, and the other two families also thought about going over to ask. After all, they would need to eat in the future, and it would not be a big deal to keep giving money to buy things.
So, Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen, together with the two uncles from the Chen and Xiao families, walked towards the nearest home of the Lin clan leader.
When they met people from the Guo clan on the road, Ran Qingxuan asked him to help inform the clan leader of Guo.
The villager nodded happily, and he was happy to help convey the message.
At the Lin family, Lin Sui heard the noise and wanted to stand up to respond, but Chen Chengping hurried forward to support him.
"Don't be polite, Patriarch Lin. You have an injury on your leg. Let's just sit down and talk."
"Okay, everyone, please take a seat. Xiaoxiao, go and bring the tea that was prepared."
Tea was served as soon as he sat down, which showed that he was ready after receiving the news.
"Patriarch Lin, I believe you already know why we are here. Let's talk about it in detail after Team Leader Guo arrives."
"That's what I meant."
Ran Qingxuan said this and looked at Lin Sui's injured leg.
