Madam, let's steam buns together

The pastry shop is still open at this time, and the distance is not too far away. It is surrounded by customers coming and going, customers from other shops, only this pastry shop is deserted and no one cares about it. This is still a lively street. It looks extremely out of place.

When Zhang Huaruo entered, the clerk who was still lazy at first showed an obviously impatient look, and reluctantly got up and came to greet Zhang Huaruo: "Guest officer, what do you want to buy?"

The voice was listless, and the sound was deliberately protracted, which was particularly uncomfortable for the ears.

Lycium barbarum looked at the other party speechlessly: "Didn't you see any guests coming? Is this how you treat guests?"

The shop clerk raised his eyelids and looked at Zhang Huaruo and Gouqizi. The clothes they wore were ordinary, not the rough materials worn by the poor, but not the luxurious clothes worn by the rich: "Anyway, you can't afford it."

This was the first time that people would look down on me even if I bought a pastry. A flame called atmosphere instantly ignited in the wolfberry's chest, and he blurted out: "Who said we can't afford it!"

The master and servant didn't wear the good clothes they usually wear in the prime minister's mansion when they went out today, in order to look better when they went out with Yang Dabao.

The waiter in the shop stepped aside and pointed to the peach cakes and pearl cakes on the counter: "This one costs three yuan, and this one costs one or two. How many do you want to buy? I'll pack the small ones for you."

Lycium barbarum opened his eyes in shock. Although he heard that the cakes sold in this pastry shop were not worth the price, he never expected to be so exaggerated. Looking at the peach cake whose head was half a cent smaller than the average peach cake, his tongue They are about to tie the knot: "Just... just this, three dollars a piece? You are robbing money, other people can buy several catties for three dollars!"

"Then you go to another store to buy cheap ones. Our store only has this price. It's the same for anyone who comes here. There is no deception."

The goji berries almost bit my own tongue, and I dared to say that I was innocent and proud of myself like this. It couldn't be compared, and in terms of the thickness of my skin, I couldn't compare it at all!

Zhang Huaruo has been on the sidelines without saying a word, and now he has walked to the pastry area and looked at it. There are very few types of pastries displayed in this shop, and the quantity of each type is also very small. No one would believe the state of the pastries. This will be freshly baked today, and I don't know how many days it has been left.

It's just okay, I haven't seen mold or other dirty things.

"Since you dare to sell it at this price, it means that your cakes have their own advantages. I can't see it with my clumsy eyes. Why don't you tell me what is worth the price? If you can convince me, these, I want it all."

Zhang Huaruo's voice has always been so gentle and clear, and as soon as he uttered it, there was a pleasant sound of cold springs, which pushed away the slightly gloomy atmosphere of the shop.

Goji berries moved to Zhang Huaruo's side, and it was still comfortable to be by the young master's side.

The waiter's eyes lit up: "You want them all?"

The shop owner who was originally in the inner room also heard the noise at this time, and hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out: "What, there are customers who want everything?"

Being watched by two people with such shining eyes, fortunately he is Zhang Huaruo, who has long been used to this kind of scene, and continued calmly: "What I said is, if your explanation convinces me, I will buy it all. After all, the store dares to decide. If you sell it at this price, you must know how much better your product is than others, right?"

Most of the light in the shop owner's eyes went out in an instant, and he lazily told the waiter in the shop, "Treat the guests well." After speaking, he turned and went back to the back room. He really didn't stay outside for a moment.

Lycium barbarum whispered in Zhang Huaruo's ear: "With this way of hospitality, it's no wonder the reputation is so bad. Who would come to this store to buy things from normal people? Isn't it self-inflicted humiliation?"

The store owner's attitude was so perfunctory, and the waiter in the store knew that the business might not be done, so he didn't explain it in detail. Of course, part of the reason was because there was nothing to talk about: "Our store put real things in this pearl cake." Pearls, of course, are more expensive, one tael of silver each is worth saving face, as for this peach cake..."

The waiter in the shop thought about it, and found that there was nothing special about this peach cake, so he insisted, "The raw materials used for this peach cake are all the best, but the raw materials are expensive, and the pastry chef in our shop used to make it in the palace. Royal chef, this skill is not ordinary, so it is naturally more expensive."

"Is there really a pearl in this little pearl cake?" Zhang Huaruo was a little surprised. Seeing that the pearl cake was not too big, it was hard to imagine that there was a pearl hidden in it. What a small pearl!

Although the name of the pearl cake contains the word pearl, it is not included in the general practice, just because it is small and exquisite, and it is usually rubbed into the size of a pearl. With the name Pearl Cake.

The pearl cake in this store has been completely cooled and solidified, but the color is slightly white, and there is no crystal appearance.

Speaking of this, the waiter in the store still explained one more sentence, so as not to cause trouble after the customer bought it back and didn't bite the pearl in it: "It doesn't mean that there is a whole pearl in it, but pearl powder."

Lycium barbarum interjected quietly: "Among the thousand pearl cakes in your shop, is there half a pearl?"

The waiter rolled his eyes and replied, "There must be."

Wolfberry glared at him: "An ordinary pearl is less than a penny!"

"That's a relatively poor pearl. The cakes in our store are meant to be fed into people's stomachs. How dare we use poor quality pearls? All we use are expensive and high-quality pearl powder. One or two pearl cakes, you I really can’t afford to buy it.” The waiter secretly said, my God, I’m almost convinced by myself, you can buy it soon.

If this business is really done, he can get a lot of benefits. Although it is not comparable to the money the boss got, it is still a bit, so don't waste it.

"It's a bit persuading me." Before the other party obviously laughed, Zhang Huaruo continued, "It's just that I know a little about how to appreciate jade jewelry, and the appearance of this pearl is also included. Why don't you give me a look. I'm sure it's a good bead, and I'll pay right away."

The shop clerk hesitated. He looked at the two men suspiciously, and felt more and more that they were here to find fault, but there was no substantive evidence. After thinking about it: "You guys wait here for a while, I will ask the boss, if he disagrees I can't help it, after all, it's something from the back kitchen, and it's usually not shown to outsiders."

Behind the gauze curtain, Zhang Huaruo smiled slightly: "I understand."

Seeing the waiter in the shop step by step and turn back into the inner room, Gou Qizi quickly asked Zhang Huaruo: "Master, if they took out pearls, you wouldn't really spend money on these rotten things, would you? Let them make so much money for nothing!" , thanks!"

"You must keep your word. If they really use good pearl powder to make this pastry, it means that this pastry is really worth the price, but I don't think they can come up with pearls that can convince me." Warm baby is very caring

Goji berries disagreed: "If they really take it out, they have made so much black-hearted money, it's hard to guarantee that they won't buy a few good pearls for display, and actually use them to grind them into powder to make cakes. Who can know!"

Zhang Huaruo was confident, he comforted the wolfberry: "I'm not afraid, I have a sense of proportion."

After a while, there was no movement in the inner room. The waiter came out with the boss, holding a delicate wooden tray in his hand. On the wooden tray was a pearl the size of a pigeon egg. The light still exudes a little charming brilliance.

Just by looking at it from a distance, you can tell that it is a good pearl.

Wolfberry subconsciously grabbed Zhang Huaruo's sleeve, howled inwardly, this is the rhythm of being cheated!

Zhang Huaruo patted the back of Wolfberry's hand back, reassuring him and telling him not to panic.

Everyone had already brought the things before their eyes, and Zhang Huaruo boasted: "It's a good pearl. If all pearls of this quality are used to grind them into powder, one or two of them would be considered a profit for me."

The shop owner smiled with satisfaction, and signaled Zhang Huaruo to give the money quickly. The waiter in the shop was already eager to pack the pastries, and Zhang Huaruo was clearly looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Zhang Huaruo took out a clean silk handkerchief from his bosom, and asked the pastry shop owner, "Do you mind if I take a closer look at this pearl?"

The owner of the store is quite a man of knowledge. He saw that Zhang Huaruo's clothes were relatively simple, and he was worried that this person would not be able to spend so much money, but he felt relieved when he saw the silk handkerchief that Zhang Huaruo took out. It is a good one. Jade thread handkerchiefs are not generally owned by people with a little money. People who can buy this kind of handkerchief are either very rich or very expensive.

Thinking about earning so much money later, the shop owner couldn't help being more generous, and readily agreed to Zhang Huaruo's request: "Look, but you can only watch it in front of me, and you can't take it out."

Zhang Huaruo nodded to express his understanding, wrapped the pearl with his precious silk handkerchief, turned his body slightly to look at a candle light source in the house, and rubbed the pearl lightly with the silk handkerchief to show that he really saw himself Wanted to see something, smiled.

Seeing that he had put the pearls back on the wooden plate without leaving his sight, the boss hurriedly protected the pearls, and his tone couldn't help but be a bit tough: "My lord, you can pay for it now."

The waiter over there has already packed all the pastries on the counter, and he even asked Zhang Huaruo: "Guest, we may still have some freshly made in the back kitchen, would you like to pack them together and take them away?"

Goji berries grind their teeth secretly, this is really going to kill their master and servant as if they are being taken advantage of, and I don't know how much money it will cost in the end. I would rather buy the young master hundreds of good pearls for fun than spend the money on pastries here!

"No need." Zhang Huaruo walked towards the waiter, as if he wanted to pick up the packaged pastry box from the waiter, and the waiter handed it over with a smile on his face.

"That's how much. I calculated it. It's 34 taels in total."

The shop owner responded from the side: "Seeing that you are so generous, just remove the change and give me 34 taels."

Wolfberry looked at the appearance of profiteers who were singing and singing together, and his heart was bleeding.

However, in fact, Zhang Huaruo did not reach out to the pastry box handed over by the waiter, he picked up the rectangular wooden tray on which the pearl cake had been placed before, and said with a smile: "I said no, you don't have to pack it, I don't purchase."
