On Friday, in the best dessert shop in Shinan District, Guanhai City, the clerk was decorating freshly baked cakes according to orders.
The top-quality animal butter, expensive seasonal fruits, the best chocolate powder and even gold foil all have to be worthy of the price of 1,600 yuan.
As for whether it's worth it...
No one cares about why the cake is so expensive, and no one cares about how much money the dessert shop makes in tears, because all the customers who come to buy the best cake in the shop will not care about anything.
They only care about whether they gain face by sending this cake out.
The store also understands this very well. All the configurations of this cake are advertised as high-end, with excellent service and thoughtful care... To put it simply, it means that it does not make money from the poor.
The cake chef decorates the cake with flowers and then puts it in the freezer to refrigerate. When the customer comes to pick up the cake, the clerk will first ask the customer to confirm the appearance of the cake. If they are satisfied, they will pack it on site.
"Uncle, is this the sixth order this month?" The apprentice chatted with the cake chef.
The cake chef nodded: "The sixth one, this is an order placed on Tuesday night."
"Who do you think would buy this kind of cake?" The clerk didn't understand very much: "I understand that big wedding cakes are expensive. There are tens of thousands of them, with several layers, so grand! But a birthday cake costs a thousand It only costs six hundred yuan, and it’s not a big deal. Who would spend more than a thousand yuan on a cake?”
The cake chef looked at the young apprentice and smiled: "Young people still don't have much experience. They just left school, right? If you work for a few more years, you will understand! You think one thousand six hundred and sixty is expensive, but in the eyes of some people "Buying a cake for 1,600 yuan is no different from spending 16 yuan for a cup of milk tea."
The clerk was speechless. He understood, but only a little, because actually he would feel bad for paying 16 yuan for a cup of milk tea.
"There are so many rich people in Guanhai City, it's really nothing." The cake chef sighed when he saw the apprentice's envious look.
"But I can tell you a piece of gossip." The cake chef seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "I have been working for so many years, and I have sold a lot of this cake, but without exception, men come to pick it up. Yes, it’s still night.”
"man?"
"Rich men." The cake chef smiled and said, "It's for women. When they came to pick up the cake, everyone was dressed very smartly and had their hair styled. They came in the evening to pick up the cake and left. Their faces were full of anticipation... …Why did you buy this cake?”
The apprentice worker thought for a moment and suddenly realized.
Then he sighed softly: "It's great to have money. What woman wouldn't be touched by giving away such an expensive cake? If I were a woman and received this cake on my birthday, I would definitely be moved to tears."
He looked at the exquisite refrigerator, looking through the glass at the luxurious cake that exuded an alluring light. Once again, he felt that reality was too magical, and the distance between the base of the cake and the top cream was too far.
At ten o'clock in the morning, all the cakes in the store were taken away one after another. Most people's birthdays were at noon, and the small pile of cakes left was probably not expected until dinner.
The apprentice yawned and sat in the shop, thinking he could take a short rest, but the doorbell rang at the door and made him get up quickly.
"Welcome to Rumeng Dessert Shop, what do you need?"
Taking a closer look, the person who came to pick up the cake was a very beautiful woman——
In fact, he couldn't see the guest's face clearly at all, because he was wearing sunglasses and a mask, and only his soft and beautiful hair spread like a waterfall.
But just a quick glance made him make up a face worthy of this temperament in his mind.
"I'll get the cake." Wang Anruo said softly, "Cake No. 201."
She opened Meituan’s shopping voucher and showed it to the apprentice.
The apprentice checked the order and found that it was the most luxurious cake in the refrigerator.
"Please follow me, the cake is over here, take a look." He led Wang Anruo to the refrigerator, pointed at the cake and said, "If you are satisfied, I will pack it for you. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, Please feel free to raise it and we will resolve it for you within half an hour.”
Wang Anruo stood there, looking at the cakes in the refrigerator seriously.
When I heard someone coming to take the cake, the cake chef also came out of the back kitchen, took off his apron and hat, his uniform was very decent, he looked polite, and he was waiting for the guests' opinions.
In fact, in the past, customers would not have any objections at all. This kind of service was just a formality to make guests feel that they were respected.
Because in the past, those customers didn't care whether the cake was flawless or not. They only thought about how beautiful the cake would be after sending it out, so they all carried the cake and left in a hurry.
They were more concerned about the evening and whether the girls' kisses would taste sweeter after eating cream.
But Wang Anruo was different from the customers who came to pick up cakes in the past. Not only was she a beautiful woman, she also looked at the cake carefully to see if it suited her liking.
This shows that she values the quality of the cake itself more than other things.
This also indirectly shows that she attaches great importance to the person who delivers the cake.
Pay more attention to the other person's feelings instead of paying attention to what benefits you will bring to yourself by sending this cake... Is it a night of passion or is the other person so moved that he agrees with you?
No, what Wang Anruo cares about is whether Qin Feng will be satisfied with the cake when he eats it?
"I'm quite satisfied," Wang Anruo smiled after looking at it for a while, "Please pack it for me."
The smile was hidden by the mask, and only a bit of beauty escaped from the eyes, but it still made the store look bright.
"Please wait a moment and I'll pack it for you."
The apprentice was shaken, and with a red face, he quickly took out the cake and put it into the refrigerator that had been prepared in advance.
He had just graduated. Where had he seen such a beautiful woman in school?
Have you ever seen a woman with smiling eyes?
A truly mature woman is not comparable to those little girls in school who put on heavy makeup and pretend to be coquettish.
The small and exquisite refrigerated box is estimated to be worth one or two hundred yuan. How could a customer carry a cake at this price back with just a plastic shell?
"Guest, your cake." The apprentice respectfully handed it to the refrigerator. "It is recommended that you finish it on the same day and put it in the refrigerator when not eating. The refrigerator can be reused."
Wang Anruo nodded and left with the cake.
Looking at her leaving figure, the apprentice's eyes were a little straight, "She is so beautiful and has a good figure. She looks like a star."
Realizing that he was lost in thought while mumbling to himself, and being ridiculed by his master, he quickly came back to his senses and asked.
"Uncle, didn't you say that the people who buy this kind of cake are all men? The cakes are also bought to pick up girls. There are also women buying them, and at first glance, they are rich women from rich families."
The cake chef thought for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "Then maybe I buy this for myself."
"Isn't it possible to send a man?"
"Who should I give it to? You?" The cake chef rolled his eyes at his apprentice, "Rich men give it to those beautiful women. It's profitable and greedy for their bodies! That kind of person will be ignored by any hotel in Guanhai City that doesn't have soundproof doors. It’s crystal clear.”
"Why should such a beautiful woman who wants money and good looks give cakes to men for what purpose?" The cake chef sneered, "She can seduce girls by saying sweet words and is handsome? Let me tell you, The more beautiful and rich you are, the smarter you are, so you won’t be manipulated by men.”
The apprentices were a little upset when they heard this, feeling that the society was too dark and too realistic.
Don't fairy tales happen?
"What if there is a rich woman who falls in love with a poor boy? It's the purest love and has nothing to do with material things."
He himself felt that it was a bit outrageous, and his muttering voice gradually became quieter.
