243 Someone Buys the Cake
Mother Liu also quickly said, “Yes, My Lord and Lady. She is my friend, not someone from the restaurant. Today, she just made a cake to come here to see me. Please forgive me, my Lord. We don’t have it now.”
The boy cried, “No! I want to eat it now!”
The Lord and Lady immediately comforted him with heartache. They looked at Mother Jian and said unhappily, “What do you need to make this? I’ll get someone to buy it for you. As long as you make it well, I will pay you well.”
Mother Jian said nervously, “This, I can’t make it here. Making this is very complicated. It might take a long time.”
The little boy cried even louder. “I want to eat it now! Awoo!!”
The Lady immediately frowned. She walked over and took a careful look at the cake on the table. She asked, “Have you touched it?”
Mother Jian immediately shook her head and denied, “No! We just cut it out and ate it piece by piece. We haven’t eaten this yet!”
The Lady nodded and calmly said, “Then we’ll take this. How much is it?”
Mother Jian subconsciously said, “Three taels!”
After saying that, she immediately covered her mouth. Endless regret rose in her heart. She didn’t know what had happened, but she accidentally said three taels just now. She looked at the Lady nervously. This Lady was obviously a person with money and power. She would not blame her if she said it was too expensive, right?
Mother Jian was about to change her words, but the Lady’s emotionless voice sounded, “Okay, send it to our private room. We’ll settle the bill later.”
Mother Jian looked at her in a daze. She did not react. There was really someone who would spend so much money on food?!
Seeing that she did not speak, the Lady frowned and said unhappily, “Why? You don’t want to sell it? Do you want to increase the price? How much? You tell me.”
Mother Jian immediately shook her head and said hurriedly, “No, no, no! I’ll sell it! Only the whole piece was sold for three taels. Now there’s only half left. You can just give me half.”
The Lady’s brows relaxed and said calmly, “It’s alright. Three taels is fine.”
After saying that, she was about to leave when mother Jian stopped her. “My Lady, wait!”
The Lady turned around and frowned slightly. “What’s the matter?”
Mother Jian smiled embarrassedly. She took out a box made of bamboo and opened the lid to reveal the bread inside. “My Lady, this is also the bread that I made. It tastes pretty good too. I’ll give it to you.”
The Lady looked at the box. There were seven or eight pieces of bread inside. They were all exquisitely made and had a golden appearance. Some of them even had traces of golden things on them that she had never seen before.
Mother Jian explained, “My Lady, the things on them are made from meat. They are called meat floss. The bread is also made from flour. There are some dried fruits inside. They are all clean things. You can eat them without worry.”
Only then did the Lady relax. She revealed a faint smile and said, “Alright, send them up for me.”
“Eh! Alright!”
After they entered the private room, Mother Jian and Mother Liu looked at each other and revealed a snickering smile.
Mother Jian said excitedly, “I really didn’t expect that someone would really buy it!”
Mother Liu also smiled and said, “I was just telling you to relax. This bit of money is nothing to rich people. Alright, arrange the cake properly. I’ll get someone to send it up later.”
“Yes, yes!”
The little boy in the private room looked at the white cake that was being sent up, which was emitting a fragrant and sweet smell. Finally, he stopped crying. The Lady scooped a spoonful of the cake for him with a porcelain white spoon. He immediately took a bite.
