56 Not Cheap
“I’m Su Wen. Do you want to try it first?” Su Wen was very generous. Her words and actions were not petty at all.
In this day and age, no one would be willing to let others taste things first before buying them.
Cao Meihua was secretly surprised, and she had a good impression of Su Wen.
Su Wen passed the small plate over for them to taste.
The young woman was straightforward and didn’t hesitate. She took a piece and put it in her mouth. It was fragrant, crisp, and soft when it entered her mouth. The sweet taste melted from the tip of her tongue and traveled to her heart. She couldn’t help but squint her eyes and reveal a look of enjoyment.
The people passing by could not help but look curiously.
Cao Meihua’s appearance had already piqued their curiosity. She was the daughter of the factory leader. Rumors said she had been married to the county and had eaten good food. If she said it was delicious, it must be delicious.
“Not bad. Not bad at all,” Cao Xuehua knew what was good for her. When Su Wen said that it was a cake from a big city, she did not believe a single word she said. She must have baked it herself and said it was from the big city.
However, it was already very impressive for a villager to have the ability to make cakes. That was why she asked out of curiosity. But now that she had eaten it, it had given her a big surprise.
She had eaten cake many times before. However, none of them were as good as Su Wen’s, whether the smell or the taste.
“It’s delicious, right?” Su Wen was in a good mood after being praised. She said proudly, “I’m sure it’s delicious because I made it. I’ll be too embarrassed to sell it if it’s not.”
When she made it, she added the sugar according to her previous habits and the most appropriate proportion. People in the 1980s couldn’t bear to add sugar like her.
“It’s indeed not bad,” This time, Cao Meihua had returned to her parent’s house to visit. She had bought wheat milk essence, canned oranges, and milk powder from the county. They were all good things, but her family didn’t have them either. Although this cake could also be bought in the county, the taste was much worse.
Moreover, the store that sold the cake was far from her house, so she didn’t go to buy it on her way back. Now that she had met Su Wen, she could buy some as gifts for her relatives.
“How much are you selling it for?”
“Fifty cents a piece.”
The cut pieces in the basket were in order. Su Wen had originally planned to sell it by weight, but the cake was not heavy. A catty would be many pieces of cake. The price would naturally be higher. When the people who wanted to buy heard that it was five yuan per catty, they were all scared away.
“I’m the real deal! Why does my taste good? It’s because I’m willing to put in sugar and eggs. They use the freshest eggs.”
They did not care how much she could weigh with five yuan.
“Your price isn’t any lower than in the city.”
“I use good ingredients! Don’t you wonder why my cake tastes good? It’s because I’m willing to put in sugar and eggs. We use the freshest eggs,” Su Wen didn’t feel guilty at all.
Su Xiu was shocked by the price. Afraid of burdening her elder sister, she hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare look at anyone.
Big sister… was too bold.
On the way, didn’t they agree to sell one for 20 cents, 40 cents for two, and 50 cents for three? Why did it become 50 cents for one?
It was too expensive.
“That’s true indeed,” Cao Meihua nodded in agreement. She did not lack money. If she could buy genuine good things, she would be willing to spend more. “Sure, I’ll take everything in your big basket. Can you send it to my house? It’s the courtyard inside.”
There were many relatives in her family, and she had to give her brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces a little each. Her parents were old and liked to eat soft things. They could also keep some to eat when they were hungry.
“Of course,” Su Wen was extremely excited. “There are 42 pieces in this basket. I’ll sell it to you at the price of 40 pieces, of which the total is 20 yuan.”
