The silky rays of the sky were extremely beautiful, making everyone's drunken faces glow red, and everyone looked in a good mood.
Most of the Lu family's distant guests have left, and the remaining ones are old gentlemen from nearby and neighbors who helped in the village.
Qian Xing took the red cakes to Lu Shouchang's table, took out the red cakes and distributed them to the old gentlemen. He smiled and said: "I am just a pastry maker. I have no other skills, so I can only invite everyone to eat."
It’s time for cakes.”
Qian's pastry shop has been open for many years and is somewhat famous.
An old man said: "Qian's cakes are pretty good. My little grandsons all like to eat them. Occasionally, when guests come over, they will bring me a pound or two of them."
The elder of the Qian family saw that Qian Xing was much more honest and his attitude was low enough, so he handed a big red envelope to Lu Shouchang and said, "The big red cake from the Qian Xing family is no worse than the small red cake from the Yang family.
Can you try it and see?"
Lu Shouchang also gave Mianzi a taste and said, "It's pretty good."
Qian clan elders and Qian Xing looked happy, thinking that the Lu family's ordering of wedding cakes should be settled next.
At this time, Mr. Dong was heard saying to Lu Shouchang: "The wedding cakes sent by the Zhang family today are small and exquisite, and they taste good. I see you have eaten several."
Is Mr. Dong here to cause trouble? Qian Xing's face stiffened, and Mr. Qian also smiled sarcastically.
At this time, an old gentleman said: "Mr. Dong, why are you confused? Did Mr. Lu eat the little red cake? What he ate was the filial piety of the future son-in-law!"
Everyone echoed the ridicule and laughed continuously.
Lu Shouchang also nodded slightly and did not argue with them.
Qian Xing looked at the small red cakes that were almost all left on the table, and said calmly: "Of course the future son-in-law's filial piety is good. But for this wedding cake, it is better to have a larger one, and a larger one will look decent, and
This pattern is also very particular."
When everyone thought about it, they understood that Qian Xing wanted to promote his big red cakes, and was not here to treat them to cakes.
At the same time, Mr. Qian saw that the atmosphere at the table was not good, and said quickly: "Okay, you go and do your work first, and we old men will chat for a while."
Qian Xing looked towards Lu Shouchang reluctantly and saw Lu Shouchang talking to Mr. Dong nonchalantly, as if he didn't notice him at all.
Qian Xing was a little anxious. Before leaving, he secretly stuffed half a silver coin into the hand of the old man Qian.
The silver touched my hand and was very hot.
After Qian Clan got it, he smiled even more unnaturally.
After a while, he found an opportunity to interrupt and said: "The little red cakes from the Zhang family are good, but Mr. Lu's family also has to prepare wedding cakes. It's easy to get confused if the two families are the same, so why not make money to build a family?"
This kind of big red cake is both delicious and distinguishable."
Other old gentlemen also agreed: "This makes the Lu family's wedding cake look more grand."
Mr. Dong didn't like them bringing business matters to the table, so he said to Lu Shouchang: "It doesn't matter whether it's big or small. But I remember that you don't care about these things."
Lu Shouchang laughed and said, "Isn't that right? The Yunhong family is the master of the house. She can use whatever she likes. Since she married into our Lu family, she and Yunhong have made the masterminds of all matters in our Lu family.
.”
The other old gentlemen were also understanding people and did not speak to help.
It was rare for him to sit with these distinguished old gentlemen. Mr. Qian felt that holding on to the wedding cake was too petty, so he kept silent.
Until everyone dispersed in the evening, Qian Xing still didn't get the answer he wanted, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved and angry.
He was so embarrassed, but Lu Shouchang remained unmoved.
Is it possible that he needs to kneel down to beg?
The more Qian Xing thought about it, the harder he felt.
But he is a businessman, and he knows that if he loses this big business of the Lu family, he will lose not only some profits, but also the prestige of the Wuxi pastry shop.
So early the next morning, he sent people to send fresh cakes of all kinds to the Lu family, but without exception, the Lu family sent them back.
Soon, this matter attracted Chen's attention.
Because of Qian Yunrou, Mrs. Chen no longer wanted to associate with the Qian family. But when she saw Qian Xing behaving like this, and thinking that she was from the same village, it would not look good if she made him blush, so she went to Lu Shouchang to discuss it.
Lu Shouchang pondered for a while and then said immediately: "You go to Axiu to make wedding cakes. It's a small matter, but if there is one Qian family, there are two. Let Axiu make the decision. If Axiu doesn't choose the Qian family, Qian's family will be in trouble in the future."
If someone comes to my door again, you don’t have to pay attention."
Mrs. Chen understood and quickly went to Xiuli Villa.
Wang Xiu still likes the Yang family's little red cake. If he is worried that it is too heavy with the Zhang family's, just change the skin and filling.
But it was rare for her mother-in-law to speak, so Wang Xiu said: "Ask his family to bring me the wedding cake, style and price."
Mrs. Chen immediately said: "Then if the style and price are the same, let's use his. They are all from the same village, and we don't let outsiders gossip."
Because Mrs. Leng had spread dirty words before, Mrs. Chen was afraid of offending villains, so she thought it would be better to do less than to do more.
Wang Xiu also understood and said: "Don't worry, mother, as long as their products are good and the price is fair, I will definitely use them."
"Even if it is not used now, the academy will use it in the future, but it is better not to tell his family now, lest it spreads to his family and it will appear that our family is using power for personal gain."
Mrs. Chen nodded, pulled Wang Xiu and said, "Mother will not be worried about anything you do."
After Mrs. Chen left, Wang Xiu asked Rongrong to go to Yang's pastry shop, and also asked them to make several wedding cakes and send them the price.
By the way, the news that the Qian family also wanted to compete was revealed.
In the evening, the Yang family hurriedly delivered more than a dozen kinds of wedding cakes. The taste, design, and packaging were all good. They also stated that if the wedding cake exceeds one hundred kilograms, it will be calculated at 80% of the market price.
If it exceeds 200 kilograms, we will charge 70% of the market price; if it exceeds 500 kilograms, we will only charge 60% of the price.
After Wang Xiu saw it, he was very satisfied.
During dinner, all the wedding cakes were brought out for Lu Yunhong and the three sisters-in-law to taste.
There are various patterns printed on the wedding cakes, and they taste good, but overall they are no worse than small red cakes.
Lu Yunhong knew that his mother had been here, probably because of the wedding cake, so he asked, "Are they all from the Yang family?"
Wang Xiu nodded: "It's the style of wedding cake I asked them to prepare. You guys eat it first, and we'll pick the best one."
Lu Yunran blushed and ate a rose-shaped piece.
Lu Yunyuan and Lu Yunzhu ate everything and unanimously said it was delicious.
Wang Xiu looked at the two greedy little cats and knew that there was no hope. He immediately looked at Lu Yunhong and Lu Yunran and said, "What do you like the most? It doesn't matter if you like them both. We are not children anymore, so we don't have to make a choice!"
Lu Yunran said in surprise: "You don't have to make a choice?"
Is it possible that they all have to do it? Lu Yunran guessed, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes, and his expression looked confused and particularly cute.
Wang Xiu smiled and nodded her forehead, saying dotingly: "Yes, little fool, as long as you like it, we can have it all!"
