Su Xueye looked at Su Binglan with teary eyes. He knew his life had improved because of her.

Su Binglan looked at his childlike appearance and smiled, saying, “I believe you will become a magnificent architect.”

Su Xueye nodded vigorously. “I’ll make you proud, Aunt Binglan. I want to be as capable as you one day.”

After speaking to Su Xueye, Su Binglan visited the town to look for Lin Zheng. The latter was still managing the dessert shop. Although the shop retained its initial size, it served many more new desserts.

Su Binglan would make many new desserts and sell them there. Most townsfolk enjoyed eating food from the dessert shop.

Lin Zheng was not bored of managing the shop. He had learned much from Su Binglan and wanted to continue learning. Of course, Su Binglan had also taught him to make desserts.

Lin Zheng could even make them in the kitchen behind the dessert shop. Su Binglan was relieved to entrust the shop to him. They had also hired two waiters so Lin Zheng would not be too busy.

Everyone was busy since spring was approaching. Many wanted to buy snacks from the shop to keep at home. Whenever they got hungry, they would eat the snacks.

Although the shop’s desserts were exquisite, they were not expensive. The shot also sold shortbreads that were affordable, so most people bought and kept them at home.

Traveling merchants would also buy desserts from the shop to bring to their hometown as gifts. Therefore, Su Binglan prepared many dessert boxes for the shop.

“Shopkeeper Lin, I’d like to buy ten sets of these, please.”

“I got you,” Lin Zheng said smilingly, “I’ll get someone to pack them for you.

You look familiar, sir. Have you been here before?”

The customer answered, ‘You’re right. You have a good memory, Shopkeeper Lin. I didn’t expect you to remember me. I helped my family transfer goods to this town last winter.

“We were on the river when it happened to snow heavily. We stopped the boat here in Tenghe Town and had a hotpot around here. I didn’t expect this small town to have so many delicacies.

“l heard the desserts here were delicious, so I brought some back to my hometown. My family enjoyed what I bought them. Even though I bought plenty, my family wanted more. Even my wife praised me for having good taste. Hahaha.’

The customer could not help but laugh as he continued, “I want to bring more desserts home this time. The old madam wants to use them as gifts.”

Lin Zheng smiled, saying, “Our desserts are exquisite. You can’t get such quality elsewhere.”

“l agree. I’ve traveled all over the world to transport goods for many years, but I’ve never seen such desserts and snacks. You sell a vast variety that not only looks good but also tastes delicious. Adults and children alike enjoy your food. “Although the old madam isn’t fond of snacks, she only eats your desserts. I’ll also buy cured meats for my family this time. My daughter-in-law and her children love cured meats, especially the sausages. It’s even tastier when we eat them with steamed buns.’

The customer wanted to buy a little of everything from Tenghe Town. However, he had to transport many things this time and only had little space on his carriage.

The customer spoke with a bright smile. He had returned home with many things last time, and the old madam was satisfied with him. He was now a highly-regarded member of the family.

He was initially a disciple of the familys branch. He was inconspicuous among many of the family members. However, he stood out from the rest of the family because of Su Binglan’s delicacies.

Soon, the waiter finished packing the customer’s orders. “Here you go, sir.”

“Thank you for packing these for me. I’ll eat these with my family when I get home.’

The desserts in the gift boxes were for certain people, and those in bulk were for the customers family members. Lin Zheng knew most traveling customers ordered their desserts like that.

“Okay, I’ll pack more for you now. Which snacks do you want, sir?”

The customer looked at the various snacks and wished he could buy them all.

He said, “l don’t really know. Could you recommend some, and I’ll get those?”

The waiter smiled and said, “All these taste good, sir. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with any of these.”

The customer blushed, saying, “I’m sorry I misspoke. Could you weigh these for me?”

“Oh, you can choose whichever snack you’d like. Then we’ll pack those you chose at the counter.’

Finally, the customer noticed other people using small baskets and a tong to pick their snacks and buns. It looked strange to him, but that was because he was in a rush the last time he visited the dessert shop. The customer did not notice it then.

However, other shops operated differently. They feared customers would touch the food, so the waiters usually helped them handle the food. Shopkeepers also feared people stealing their food.

The customer chose many snacks and buns. Then, Lin Zheng weighed them and calculated the price.

The customer asked, stunned, “Don’t you need an abacus to count these?”

The waiter at the side said, “Our manager doesn’t need it. He’s so smart that he calculates the costs in his mind. He’s amazing.”

Even when there were a lot of customers, Lin Zheng could calculate quickly so no one would have to wait in queue for too long. He had learned to calculate quickly because Su Binglan had taught him about Arabic numbers.

Of course, he still needed to know what the customers had bought. He could do everything after simply glancing at what the customers chose.

Although the dessert shop was not as big as the hotpot restaurants, the dessert shop received just as many customers.

Most of the time, the dessert shop would sell out of their food before the afternoon. Then, Lin Zheng would go to the kitchen behind the shop to make more. Afterward, he would start selling more desserts. Some customers would even wait for him to finish cooking.

Lin Zheng had not seen his master for a long time. He knew Su Binglan was busy and would only look for him if she needed something.

He still wanted to go on missions with her, but he had a recent problem. Someone had told him they had another identity, but he did not quite believe it. That person even produced evidence, and his parents even admitted it.

Lin Zheng was making more desserts while thinking about something when Su Binglan came to the shop..
