Chapter 242 - 242 Guest



She did not understand how expensive her daughter said selling a cake was. She had originally thought that the price of a cake would be five hundred wen, which could buy a lot of pounds of meat. She did not expect that it would be set at a low price.

Mother Jian also said hesitantly in a low voice, “How about… I sell a cake for one tael of silver?”

When she said this, she still felt a little guilty because the past two years had been smooth sailing. Under the leadership of the county magistrate, Shi Feng County had long recovered from the drought two years ago.

!!

Now, all the prices had returned to their original state, a pound of good meat could be bought for more than 50 wen. 1 tael of silver for a cake could buy about 20 pounds of meat. There should not be any fool who would buy it, right?

Mother Liu slammed the table and said, “It’s low!”

“Ah?” Mother Jian was shocked. She was a little speechless and said, “It’s still low?”

Mother Liu nodded frantically. she said softly, “Let me tell you, those old masters who come to my place spend more than 10 taels of silver for a meal! The dishes that those old masters eat are all exquisite. Even the plates that hold them are expensive, so I ordered the dishes in the private room to be high. They also ate without changing their expressions. They don’t care how much a meal costs. I suggest you sell it for three taels of silver. They have plenty of money!”

“Three taels!” Mother Jian could not help but shout. Her voice was broken, and it had tripled in value. Even though their family had a lot of money because of their daughter this year, it was still unbelievable that someone would spend so much silver just for a little food.

At this moment, someone walked in from the door of the shop. In front of him was a middle-aged man dressed in expensive clothes, followed by an elegant and gentle lady and two children.

One of the two children was a girl around seven or eight years old, and the other was a three or four-year-old boy. They were bouncing around.

There were also four servants and servants following behind them.

Mother Liu was stunned. She patted Mother Jian’s hand to comfort her. She quickly walked up and said warmly, “Master, Lady, what would you like to eat?”

The rich man at the front was about to speak when the little boy interrupted, “I want to eat something fragrant! What are you eating? It’s so fragrant!”

The rich man immediately hugged him and coaxed, “Alright, alright, alright. We’ll eat something fragrant. We’ll eat whatever our precious son wants to eat!”

As he spoke, he looked at Mother Liu and said, “What kind of fragrance is this? Give me a portion for the Old Master as well.”

Mother Liu was stunned and said hesitantly, “This… there might not be any.”

The man frowned and was about to berate her when the boy in his arms immediately shouted, “I saw it! That’s where the fragrance comes from! You’re lying! I want to eat it!”

The man and his wife looked in the direction of his finger and also saw the neatly cut cake on the front desk. Although there was a piece missing, they could see how good the food looked, the sweet smell in the air came from there. His wife immediately fell in love with this good-looking food.

The man frowned and said, “Don’t you still have it? Why didn’t you lie to us? Even if you didn’t make a portion for us, it would have been fine.”

Seeing so many people looking at her, Mother Jian was very nervous, she mustered up her courage and said, “The Old Master and Madam don’t know this, but this is something I made. This is the only one. We’ve already cut it open, so if you want to eat it now, we don’t have any more of it.”
