Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1505: Chapter 1505: Shu Yu’s Probe

Upon entering the shop, Shu Yu raised her eyes to look at the interior decor. The shop was indeed small, but the arrangement was particularly exquisite, giving people a very relaxed feeling as they came in.

Shu Yu pressed her lips together and nodded silently.

But behind her was Ying Xi, who kept his head down as if he was out of his element, looking very uncomfortable.

Wei Ronghua was very kind, “Which type of pastry would you like to buy, dear customer? Did you have a preference when you came in?”

Shu Yu lowered her voice slightly, speaking with a hint of embarrassment, “My eldest daughter is getting married, so I’m buying some pastries to entertain the guests.”

Wei Ronghua understood and, smiling, led the two to a corner.

While walking, he introduced, “Since you’re entertaining guests, the quantity should be considerable. It’s now the Mid-Autumn season, with osmanthus blooming all over the garden, so the osmanthus cake is just right. It’s refreshing, sweet but not greasy, and not expensive. If you buy in large quantities, I can make it cheaper for you.”

Shu Yu understood now; osmanthus was indeed abundant now, making it a seasonal pastry. Thus, the osmanthus cake, even if not the cheapest, was still affordable for ordinary people.

This recommendation from Wei Ronghua was genuinely thoughtful.

Shu Yu then whispered, “Which one is the osmanthus cake?”

There were quite a few pastries on the shelf, colorful and attractive.

Wei Ronghua took out a flower-shaped, pale yellow pastry, “You can try it, and if you like the taste, you can decide whether to buy it.”

After speaking, he cut two small pieces and handed them to Shu Yu and Ying Xi.

Just as the two were about to eat, the staff, who had been staring at them, came over, looking angry and wanting to say something.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ronghua raised his head, frowned, and whispered, “There are guests over there.”

The staff turned his head to look and instantly quieted down.

Although he was displeased with Shu Yu and Ying Xi, there were two groups of obviously wealthy customers in the shop, and causing a scene in front of them would harm the shop’s reputation if word got out.

So the staff said nothing further, only glaring at them fiercely.

Shu Yu silently observed; clearly, Wei Ronghua knew how to handle the shop staff, an insightful person.

She lowered her head and ate the pastry.

As for the pastry, it didn’t leave much of an impression; it was merely mediocre.

If a guest were picky, they might find the pastry’s flavor a bit too bland, not sweet enough.

That’s normal; after all, sugar wasn’t cheap these days.

“How did the customer find it?”

Shu Yu hesitated for a moment, continuing to speak softly, “I need to discuss it with my family before deciding to buy. Can I come back tomorrow?”

Wei Ronghua laughed, “Of course, you can.”

Shu Yu visibly relaxed, “By the way, I heard your shop recently introduced a new pastry that even received praise from the Madam of the County Magistrate, I wonder…”

“Are you referring to the Furong Cake?” Wei Ronghua paused for a moment, then whispered, “Please wait a moment, dear customer.”

Shu Yu was taken aback, watching as Wei Ronghua went to the counter and returned shortly afterward, holding a plate with two cut pieces of pastry.

He again let Shu Yu and Ying Xi try them.

This pastry was far tastier than the osmanthus cake, soft and sweet but not overwhelming, clean and refreshing. No wonder it earned the Madam’s praise.

Shu Yu raised her gaze and asked, “How much does this pastry cost? I’d like to buy a few pieces.”
