Chen Wei smiled and replied, "I know your young lady came here today to support me and didn't want to see my business suffer a dismal performance on the first day of business. I appreciate your kindness."
"Ms. Lu, I'm very happy that you can risk your reputation being affected by me and come to patronize the Changshou Shop."
"I know you're blaming yourself for what happened yesterday and want to make amends, but there's no need. I believe my operations were correct."
"I believe yesterday's longevity cake has already made an impression on the women. They might have hesitated to buy it at first, but as time goes by, once they find a way to get started, they'll probably buy it again."
"With the unique taste of longevity cake, they will come in a few days."
The maid stared at Chen Wei in astonishment.
That look seemed to be asking, are you stupid? Wouldn’t it be better if someone could help you buy it?
She couldn't understand what Chen Wei meant by "operation" or "impression".
In her opinion, the immediate interests are real.
But what Shen Wei wanted was not the immediate profit. Even if Miss Lu really bought the cakes, so what? She could buy it once, but not every time.
Miss Lu was silent for a while, as if she had finally figured out the twists and turns.
He suddenly laughed out loud, and said with a hint of apology in his tone: "I think I understand what you want."
"I didn't think deeply about it. I know."
"Miss Shen, Miss Zhao, I didn't have time yesterday, and I had too many concerns. There are more than one young lady in the Xiangfu. If my reputation is ruined, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to talk about marriage."
"But now I sincerely want to say thank you to you."
"Thank you for helping me. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."
Chen Wei knew the value of this sentence.
She knows!
This shop has a backstage.
If something really happened, the young lady of the Xiangfu would not stand idly by.
"Also, you are indeed different. Lord Xie has excellent vision."
After that,
Miss Lu looked at the rows of exquisite longevity cakes on the counter.
Placed in the front is a pastry shaped like a half-cut apple, with various cut fruits on it, which looks very beautiful when placed on the cream.
There was also the standard 'fruit cake' sign next to it.
Further back is a black pastry that looks mysterious and tempting, with 'Black Forest Cake' written next to it.
There are cakes of various shapes in the back, round, square, some with fruits on them, some with a layer of flowers coated with cream, and some with some incomprehensible words and patterns.
This pattern looks like an animal, but it is not an animal.
Although she couldn't understand them, each one was eye-catching. These pastries were brightly colored and fragrant, and were unique and had never been seen in the capital.
"What kind of pattern is this? I've never seen it before?"
Miss Lu stared at the pattern and found it very novel. Even though she was knowledgeable, she had never seen such a pattern before.
"The picture above is of a cat, a simple sketch of a cat." Chen Wei explained patiently.
"A cat? It looks like a cat, but not quite. Oh, I see the whiskers on a cat. This... is really abstract."
"What about this one? Look at its beak. It can't be a duck."
Miss Lu pointed to another one. If it didn't look like a duck's beak, she would never have recognized it as a duck.
Shen Wei nodded and introduced: "Yes, Hello Kitty and Donald Duck."
"Is this a fish? Why doesn't it have a tail?"
Miss Lu saw another blue longevity cake with an animal she had never seen before on it. A sparkling sea surface was carved with cream, and a three-dimensional fish leaped on the sea surface.
"That's a dolphin, a species from the sea."
"What's a dolphin? I've never seen the sea."
While Ms. Lu was curious, she also felt a little disappointed.
The farthest she had ever traveled was to a temple in the suburbs to burn incense.
She had seen well water, spring water, rain water, and the river water in the capital.
She had heard people say that the river was much wider than the river, but she had never even seen the river.
Not to mention the sea, she heard that the sea was sparkling and boundless.
Seeing this dolphin, she suddenly began to imagine what the seaside was like. Was it really as strange as the rumors said?
