148 Ordering 200 Bowls of Cold Cakes

He put down the bowl and his face indicated that he was still savoring the taste.

“Not bad. Is this made of rice?” He asked Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue looked surprised.

“Yes. It’s made by soaking the refined rice and grinding it into rice paste, then adding some secret ingredients, boiling it and cooling it down.”

The taste of the cold cake was actually quite different from that of rice. Manager Liang could tell after just one taste. He was very amazing.

“Can I have another bowl?” Manager Liang smiled at Lin Xiaoyue and did not ask any other questions.

“Sure, Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile.

She cut another piece of the cold cake.

“Add more brown sugar syrup.”

He liked sweet things, so this cold cake would taste better with more sugar.

“Alright.”

This time, he added twice the amount of brown sugar syrup.

Soon, Manager Liang had his second bowl of cold cake.

There was more brown sugar syrup this time and it was indeed more delicious.

“Actually, you can also add some red bean, preserved fruits and the like to it, it will taste better,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

In her previous life before the apocalypse, there were also shops selling cold cakes and drinks in the big cities.

They would add all kinds of toppings such as red beans, raisins, hawthorn, and so on to the cold cakes, which made it more delicious.

Manager Liang’s eyes brightened.

“Not bad,” he said.

Soon, he finished the cold cake.

Glancing at the big bowl with a small amount of cold cakes left, Manager Liang didn’t ask for more this time.

“It’s indeed a good snack. It relieves the summer heat and is very appetizing.”

“Since the summer, our white fungus soup has not been selling well. We can try this cold cake instead.”

Manager Liang looked at Lin Xiaoyue, “how about this? If the price is right, we will order 200 bowls from you. If you can make it in time today, send 100 bowls before 7 in the evening. The remaining 100 bowls should be delivered by 9 am tomorrow. We’ll order more when you deliver them tomorrow.”

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up. “Time is not a problem! Thank you, Manager Liang!” She quickly thanked him.

Manager Liang waved his hand.

“Don’t thank me yet. Let’s talk about the price first. Since I’m using this to replace the white fungus soup, the profit from selling cold cakes must be more than the white fungus soup to be worth it,” he said.

Business was business. Even if this girl was his nephew’s sweetheart, he would not give in in these aspects.

“Of course,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

Then she said, “we also sell the cold cakes in the west of the city for 5 wen per bowl and 8 wen for two bowls. Since you order a lot, we can sell them at the price of 3 wen per bowl. The only thing is that you prepare the brown sugar syrup on your own.”

Both Manager Liang and Chef Liu paused.

Only 3 wen a bowl? Although they didn’t provide brown sugar syrup, it wasn’t expensive. Half a kilogram of brown sugar was enough to make a large pot.

A bowl could be sold for 10 wen. Although the profit was not as high as the white fungus soup, the number of cold cakes sold would definitely be higher than the white fungus soup.

This way, the total profit of selling cold cakes would definitely be higher than selling white fungus soup.

“Good! You are a straightforward person. We’ll order them at this price.” Manager Liang looked at Lin Xiaoyue with admiration.

Lin Xiaoyue said a few more words to Manager Liang before leaving.

After the waiter sent Lin Xiaoyue out, Manager Liang nodded with a smile.

“This girl is not bad…” She was good for his nephew.

He didn’t finish his sentence.

Chef Liu shot a glance at Manager Liang in annoyance.
