Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As expected, a hint of hesitation flashed across the customer’s face. Although he was in business and had a little money, he was not rich enough to casually spend three taels of silver to buy snacks.
Seeing his hesitation, Mother Jian Thought for a moment and said, “Young Master, you can also buy one with other customers. This way, it won’t be so expensive.”
A cake was eight inches long, which was enough for several people to eat.
As soon as Mother Jian said this, the eyes of the customers who were listening with their ears propped up immediately lit up. When they heard that three taels of silver was so expensive, they had all stopped thinking about it. Now that they heard that they could buy one with others, as if they had opened up a new train of thought, they looked at each other and went forward one after another. “Boss, give us one!”
The customer who had originally inquired about the price could not stand the fragrance of the cake, so he competed with a few customers.
Mama Jian heaved a sigh of relief and smiled as she cut the cake for them. She
measured it with a bamboo slice to ensure that everyone received the same
amount of cake.
The customers happily took the cake and ate it.
The sweet taste of the cake made them addicted to it. They even licked the plate clean and said, “It’s so delicious! I’ve never eaten such a delicious dessert before!
If it were not for the fact that it was too expensive, they would have wanted to have another serving. It was really too delicious.
The customers who had eaten thought about it regretfully.
Of course, there were also customers who did not lack money and bought it without blinking.
The four cakes were bought very quickly. Some customers wanted to buy more after eating, but they were told that they were all sold out.
“Ah? Why don’t you make more?”
Mother Jian explained, “You don’t know that it takes about two hours to make a cake, so there’s no way to make more.”
This was true because it took a lot of time to pass the cream and egg whites, but Xiao Hu and Jian Dalang helped her make them every morning, so it actually did not take that much time, but she would not say it out loud either, this was the hunger marketing that Big Sister was talking about.
The customer looked regretful. “Then can I make a reservation for tomorrow?
Mother Jian shook her head and said, “Sorry, we don’t accept reservations. First come, first served.”
The customer was even more regretful.
There were even some more wealthy customers who wanted to raise the price to make a reservation, but they were all rejected by Mother Jian.
Instantly, their obsession with the cake became even stronger. All the customers who had eaten the cake felt that it was worth it. They looked regretful when they didn’t get to eat it and wanted to eat it again.
In the next few days, many customers went to the inn early in the morning to wait for the cake. Every time Mother Jian arrived, she was robbed before she could even enter the inn.
So, she took the opportunity to promote her shop. “Don’t worry if you haven’t eaten it yet! l i m going to open a new shop called the Sugar House! It specializes in selling desserts. After the opening, you can go and support it. When the time comes, not only will there be cake, but there will also be all kinds of delicious food! I guarantee that I won’t let you down!”
After interacting with the customers for the past few days, Mother Jian had completely lost her initial nervousness and fear. She had become more at ease and even enjoyed the feeling of expressing her thoughts.
For a time, the Sugar House had not opened yet. There was not even a plaque hanging out. Many people in the county already knew about it.
Mother Jian used an exquisite screen to separate her shop from each other, ensuring privacy. If you did not want to eat flowers in the lobby, you could also go to the backyard and make a few small boxes, placing exquisite small items.
Mother Jian also asked someone to make many cups, which were in the shape of the milk tea cup that Jian Qingqing had mentioned..
