Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

"It's someone from Censor Chen's family. They said Censor Chen is going to celebrate his 40th birthday next month, and they came to us to order cakes for the birthday banquet."

Sister Gao happily told Cheng Wenwen the news.

Cheng Wenwen was surprised when she heard the news.

Unexpectedly, they received such a big order just one month after opening.

She had originally been thinking about introducing her own pastries to the circle of distinguished people, but then this order came.

"Great! We must do it well this time." Cheng Wenwen said.

Sister Gao nodded and said, "Of course we have to do it well. The people who go to Censor Chen's birthday party are all rich or noble. When they eat our cakes at the birthday party, we will definitely get more and more big orders like this in the future."

Cheng Wenwen nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "I will arrive at the store early tomorrow. Since it is a birthday party, there must be some special snacks."

"Do you have an idea?" Sister Gao knew that Cheng Wenwen had many novel ideas, so she asked curiously.

"Since it's my birthday, I have to eat some cakes that have celebratory meanings! I'll think about it tonight, and tomorrow I'll take the house to the store to make some, and then send them to Censor Chen's house!"

After hearing what Cheng Wenwen said, Ms. Gao nodded with relief and stood up to leave.

"Sister Gao, eat first before you leave!"

Sister Gao smiled and refused: "I still have to settle my bills, so I won't eat it!"

Cheng Wenwen advised: "We can settle the bill later, but we have to eat!"

Sister Gao nodded and sat down, saying, "Ever since I opened this store with you, I've been passionate about this business! I really don't want to stop for a moment!"

Cheng Wenwen laughed and said, "How can it be so exaggerated!"

"It's true. When I was in the pastry business, business was only good during the New Year and other festivals. It's nothing like now, when we sell out every day. I thought I had to strike while the iron is hot to make more money, otherwise people will get tired of our food and business will decline."

Ms. Gao shared her thoughts.

Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Gao! It won't happen! We will get bigger and bigger!"

"Correct!"

Cheng Wenwen raised the glass in her hand, and the two of them clinked their glasses to congratulate each other on the big order they received today.

Ms. Gao took a sip of the contents of the cup and thought it was a little strange. She asked, "What is this? Why does it sting my mouth?"

"This is called Coke! My new drink!"

Sister Gao put it down and said, "I'm not used to it, so I'd better not drink it!"

Cheng Wenwen smiled and the two continued to eat.

Sister Gao's words made Cheng Wenwen feel more relaxed. She had to develop more new products to make her business better and better.

……

After Sister Gao left, Cheng Wenwen started to design the house, and tinkered in the kitchen with Pei'er and her mother.

"Miss, what are you doing? Kneading so much dough?" Pei'er asked in confusion.

"Making a cake!" Cheng Wenwen explained.

"Cake? Is it a new category of pastry?"

Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "It's specially made for birthdays. If we take advantage of the Chen family's birthday to promote it well, our business will get better and better in the future!"

"That's great!"

Pei'er became more and more skilled at making fire.

The three of them tinkered in the kitchen for a whole night and finally made a perfect cake base.

At the end, only the cream is left.

This stage is extremely demanding on skills and patience.

It took about another hour to make a birthday peach cake.

"Miss, this peach is so lifelike!"

Cheng Wenwen smiled. This girl was used to praising herself. She just said, "This is still far from enough!"

Although it looks good, it is still not detailed enough. After all, it is my first time and my skills are not sophisticated enough.

I can only leave it to the cooks tomorrow.

"Try it and see how it tastes!"

"it is good!"

Mother He cut the birthday peach cake and gave each person a piece.

Since it was their first time eating the dish, Mother He and Pei'er naturally praised it highly.

Cheng Wenwen ate, but felt that the food was just so-so.

But this level is enough to deal with Mrs. Chen tomorrow. We can only make more improvements later.

"Okay, take a break!"

"Miss, your face is all scratched!" Pei'er handed Cheng Wenwen a handkerchief with a smile.

Cheng Wenwen smiled and didn't care. She thought it would be fine after washing it.

Cheng Wenwen felt very happy that she suddenly had something valuable to do.

……

The next day, Cheng Wenwen came to the store and started making cakes with the cooks.

Business was still very good today, but because we had to deliver goods to the Chen family for tasting, we kept some of the best-selling products to send to the Cheng family.

It took me two hours to finally make a satisfactory cake, but it was a little small, a three-layered peach cake.

Cheng Wenwen and Sister Gao packed up their things and personally took people to deliver them to Censor Chen's home.

The Chen family's guard knew that they were there to deliver cakes, so he took them to Mrs. Chen's yard.

Mrs. Chen had nothing to do at the time, so she called her two daughters over to try the cakes from Cheng’s Dessert Shop together.

When Cheng Wenwen and Sister Gao walked into the house, they saw the well-maintained woman sitting in the main seat and immediately guessed that it was Mrs. Chen.

"Hello, Mrs. Chen!" Cheng Wenwen greeted.

Mrs. Chen looked between Cheng Wenwen and Miss Gao, then asked, "Who is the shopkeeper?"

Sister Gao replied, "Mrs. Chen, I'm the shopkeeper, my surname is Gao, and this is our boss, his surname is Cheng."

"Are you the boss? I didn't expect your boss to be so small!"

Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "You have to make a living even if you are young!"

Mrs. Chen had a good impression of Cheng Wenwen. She looked very friendly, so she nodded and said, "She is a diligent girl. What desserts did you bring today? Put them up!"

Cheng Wenwen and Sister Gao arranged the desserts they brought one by one. There were many varieties and the table was full.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the small three-layer birthday peach cake in the middle.

Mrs. Chen looked at the cake and asked in amazement, "How do you make such a big cake?"

Cheng Wenwen explained, "I learned that it was Master Chen's birthday, so I thought of making a birthday cake to celebrate. On that day, Master lit the cake, held it in the air, made a wish, and blew it out, hoping for a good omen."

"I see. But isn't this a bit too big of a cake to feed only my parents?"

Cheng Wenwen smiled and said, "After you make the first cut, you can distribute the cake to the guests so that they can all get a share of your blessings."

Miss Chen Er couldn't help but say: "I've never heard of such a way of congratulations, it's a fun idea.

Miss Chen also said: "Mother, this cake looks very exquisite. Dad will definitely be very surprised when the cake comes!"

Mrs. Chen nodded: "Okay, this is a good idea!"

Although she had not tasted the cakes yet, Mrs. Chen was very satisfied just by the idea.

Cheng Wenwen added, "Because of the tight schedule, we don't have a large mold in the store, so this cake can only be made this big. If Madam wants, we can make a bigger cake. Not only will it be very impressive in front of the guests, but after the adults make a wish, they can share it with the guests one by one. What do you think, Madam?"
