Chapter 589 Magic Cake Shop

Untiing the bow on the package and opening the box, Lilith exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

The cake in front of me is only 5 inches in size, and the surface is evenly covered with a few evenly cut red strawberries, as well as a few cherries, crystal fruit (similar to grapes) and other fruits.

Below the fruit layer is a cream layer, then below is a cake layer, a cheese layer, and a harder chocolate layer is wrapped around the bottom and around.

A total of 5 floors.

Small and exquisite, eye-catching.

The unique aroma of creamy fruit also makes the tip of the nose flutter and the saliva overflow.

"This...is the cake clean, can it be eaten?"

Lilith asked, unknowingly, swallowed lightly.

"Edible, absolutely clean, Miss Lilith, this is a spoon."

Zhou Ming smiled and said, the nobles are more picky, they won't just eat those three-no products that don't know where they come from. New and spotless.

After receiving the spoon, Lilith didn't eat it right away, but took a spoon and handed it to Beatrice, who kept swallowing beside her, and said, "Beatrice, please help me taste this cake."

Beatrice is short and fat, and her biggest hobby is eating. This task of tasting food is best given to her.

"Okay, Miss Lilith!"

Beatrice took the spoon quickly, and impatiently dug down on the cake that looked like a work of art.

The beauty of the cake is immediately ruined.

Lilith frowned.

Beatrice opened her mouth and put the spoon full of cake into her mouth, the intense phenolic aroma burst out in her mouth immediately.

The freshness of the fruit.

The creaminess of the cream.

The sweetness of chocolate.

Instantly exploded in the mouth.

A smile of incomparable happiness appeared on Beatrice's face.

"How is it, Beatrice, how does it taste?" Lilith asked beside him.

Beatrice didn't answer, but picked up the spoon and scooped another spoonful into the cake.

With this spoonful, she tasted the sweetness and thickness of the cheese, and the happiness on her face was about to turn into a dazzling holy light.

"Beatrice, is it delicious?" Lilith asked again in a hurry.

As if Beatrice didn't hear, the spoon dug towards the cake again.

"You foodie, I won't give you food!"

Lilith came to her senses, snatched the cake from Zhou Ming's hand, took a spoon to dig half of the cake, and tasted it herself.

"This... this smell?"

The expression on Lilith's face was even more exaggerated than that of Beatrice just now.

A voice in my heart: delicious, so delicious!
"Sister Lilith, give me another bite!"

Beatrice's face was full of anxiety, where is my cake?I still want to eat cake!

"No, it was given to me by Leylin."

"Give me another sip~"

Beatrice circled around Lilith.

"No, I didn't have a few mouthfuls."

The 5-inch cake is as big as the palm of your hand, and a girl can eat it all.

"Give me one last bite!"

Beatrice was about to jump up in a hurry.

Lilith still refused to give it to her, but gave up her ladylike demeanor and speeded up her eating.

In the end, when the cake box was empty, Beatrice, who had only eaten two bites, sat on the ground and wept. Sister Lilith was too bad, so she didn't even give her any cake!

Zhou Ming, who was standing aside, looked at this scene with some amusement. After Lilith finished eating the cake, he walked up to the satisfied Lilith and asked:
"How about Ms. Lilith, if you open a cake shop in the capital, do you think people will buy it?"

"Yes, of course, there must be many people willing to buy it!" Lilith said with some cream on her lips.

"Then open a cake shop... would you like to cooperate with me?" Zhou Ming asked.

"I do! I do!"

Beatrice on the side jumped up, walked up to Zhou Ming and said, "Leylin, as long as I can eat cakes every day, I will cooperate with you. Tell me how many gold coins you want!"

The family behind Beatrice is a family of merchants dealing in all kinds of food. There are at least a hundred food and catering-related shops in the capital, and they are very rich.

"Uh……"

Looking at the angry Beatrice, Zhou Ming guessed that the damage Lilith did to her just now was not small.

"Miss Lilith, classmate Beatrice said that she also wants to join, may I ask?"

Zhou Ming asked Lilith, in front of the Rudolph family behind Lilith, Beatrice's family is no fart, and Zhou Ming said it doesn't matter if he promised Beatrice to join or not.

"Okay, let's work together, the three of us."

Perhaps out of guilt, Lilith nodded in agreement.

After a few more days of discussion and planning, the three of them determined the proportion of revenue sharing.

Beatrice provided a store and found a store close to the school for Zhou Ming as the storefront of the cake shop. After the cake shop opened, all the proceeds, Beatrice got 30% dividends, plus a cake every day.

Lilith contributed funds, 5000 gold coins, as the initial capital for the operation of the cake shop, to solve some obstacles and troubles. After opening, Lilith will get 40% of all profits.

Zhou Ming developed the technology and was responsible for the operation of the store and the training of bakers. After opening, Zhou Ming got 30% of all profits.

In fact, in terms of dividends, Lilith asked for 30%, Zhou Ming got 40%... After all, without his skills, it is impossible to open a cake shop.

But Zhou Ming still insists that Lilith takes the big head. Even if the 10% profit cannot be ignored, it will be "dominant" and "secondary", which will cause different psychological effects.

If Zhou Ming takes the lead and takes most of the profits, he will have to be at the front when he encounters troubles in the future. Dealing with various forces will definitely distract him.

If Lilith dominates, her mentality will change from "participant" to "owner of the cake shop". Naturally, she will take care of a lot, and if she encounters trouble, she will solve it by herself without Zhou Ming's request.

All forces, no matter how jealous they are, dare not offend the Rudolph family.

After the share allocation is determined.

Beatrice also got a store from the family that was not doing well...near the school.

This store happened to be not far from where Zhou Ming lived.

So he hired a few workers to redecorate the store.

Then I went to the blacksmith shop, took out several sets of design drawings, and customized a batch of tools such as ovens, hand-cranked egg beaters, juicers, and noodle mixers, and made a soft sheepskin water bag. The container of batch cream has a small bottle mouth, and its main purpose is to spray beautiful patterns on the cake.

Then contact two fruit shops and sign a contract, asking each other to supply the freshest fruit at a price higher than the market.

Ingredients such as eggs, cream, cheese, cocoa nuts (the raw material for making chocolate), wheat flour, etc. also have high quality requirements.

The consequence of this is that the production cost of the cake will certainly not be very low.

However, the cake Zhou Ming wanted to make was not a product to be sold to the poor... Of course, only nobles can afford such a high-end cake.

After 20 days.

Magic Cake Shop.

Announcing the official opening!
On the opening day, almost all the female students in the class, including the two shareholders Lilith and Beatrice, were present.

The back kitchen of the cake shop was crowded with beautifully dressed female students.

"Leylin, why is your cake shop called 'Magic Cake Shop'? Could it be that you put some kind of magic on the cake?"

Betty, a female classmate, asked, she thought the name was a bit weird.

"Yes, the cake made by Leylin is so delicious, it's like magic is cast inside!"

Beatrice stood up and said that she personally ate at least ten cakes made by Zhou Ming these days, and she gained three or four catties.

"I know that the cakes made by Leylin are delicious, but the name of the store is too weird. What does it have to do with magic? Why isn't it called 'Lilith Cake Shop'?"

Betty still doesn't like the name of the store.

"The cakes I made do have something to do with magic. The cakes I made before were all made by magic."

Zhou Ming, who was standing in front of the cabinet-style kitchen counter, had no choice but to explain.

In fact, no matter whether it was making cakes for Lilith to taste before, or cakes for Beatrice to eat later, Zhou Ming used magic.

After all, he didn't have any tools except a simple oven.

For example, there are no machines such as egg beaters, juicers, noodle mixers, etc. It is logically impossible to make cakes.

However, the miraculous magic temporarily solved Zhou Ming's problem.

For example, if there is no egg beater, he can release a small "whirlwind" magic to make the egg liquid rotate at a high speed, and finally achieve the effect of beating the egg liquid into fine foam.

It's just that this process requires high precision operation ability.

If you are not careful, I am afraid that the egg liquid will be spilled everywhere, so don't be distracted in the slightest.

The same is true for the process of using magic to squeeze juice and stir noodles.

"Using magic to beat eggs and extract juice...how is this possible?"

Betty shook her head. First of all, she didn't dare to imagine this scene, and she had never heard of anyone doing it, let alone successfully operating it.

"Let me demonstrate the operation to you."

Zhou Ming didn't say much, just smiled slightly, then took out two eggs, beat them into a bowl first, and then stretched out his right hand.

He muttered a few words, a gust of wind blew up, and after a while, a cone-shaped vortex appeared on his right palm, which was spinning continuously, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

After the vortex stabilized, Zhou Ming picked up the bowl containing the eggs with his left hand and poured the egg liquid down.

The female students backed away one after another, for fear that the egg liquid would splash on their gorgeous long skirts.

However, their worries were unfounded. After entering the vortex, the egg liquid did not splash out. Instead, it rotated at a high speed with the vortex, mixing and soaking quickly.

In less than 2 minutes, the egg mixture was stirred. Zhou Ming removed his palm, controlled the bottom of the vortex to open a small hole, and then reduced the vortex intensity.

The beaten egg liquid flows through the small hole into the container prepared by Zhou Ming.

During the whole process, not a trace of egg liquid was spilled.

"This... isn't this too powerful?"

The female students were all astonished, each asked for two eggs, and imitated Zhou Ming's operation one after another.

"Ah, my dress!"

"You guys got the eggs on me!"

"Ah, don't play anymore, I have eggs all over my face!"

All the female students failed.

Although some female students managed to create a vortex, it only made the egg liquid splash wider.

After the failure of the attempt, these beautiful noble female students were all covered in egg liquid, and they were in a mess... This picture experience is quite bad.

"Leylin, how did you do it, how can you use magic so well?"

Afterwards, the female students around Zhou Ming asked.

"Practice a few more times. If anyone is interested in learning, I can teach her."

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"it is good!"

"I must learn this!"

"I want to learn too!"

The female students are very enthusiastic.

Just talking and laughing here, the first two opening cakes of the Magic Cake Shop were ready.

The two cakes are both 15 inches in size, with five layers and a height of 20 cm.

One of them is a "magic cake" made by Zhou Ming using magic.

The other is "ordinary cake" made with hand-cranked egg beaters, juicers, dough mixers and other machines.

The female students tasted and commented on the two cakes.

“The magic cake is even better!”

"No, it should be that the magic cake is particularly delicious, while the ordinary cake tastes average."

"I love magic cakes too!"

"The taste is completely different. After eating magic cake, I don't want to eat ordinary cake."

The female students gave highly unanimous comments on the magic cake, and they all thought the magic cake was better.

It's just that the magic power in Zhou Ming's body is limited. With his ability, he can make at most one magic cake per day for the time being.

Therefore, after the magic cake shop officially opened, the price difference between ordinary cakes and magic cakes can be said to be huge.

Taking a 15-inch cake as an example, the price of an ordinary cake is 100 to 180 gold coins... This price is already very exaggerated.

The price of the magic cake is astonishingly expensive at 800 to 2000 gold coins, and you need to make an appointment in line.

Even so, in the next few months, Magic Cake Shop and Magic Cake set off a wave of cake frenzy in the entire capital.
