Chapter 3 – 3 Tuan Tuan’s Taste Test Turns into a Grand Opening
“Sweet potato flavor 1.5 yuan.”
“Purple potato flavor 1.5 yuan.”
“Brown sugar 1 yuan.”
“White sugar 1 yuan.”
“Black sesame 2 yuan.”
Chen Yu was very adept at setting the prices and placed the sign to one side.
His life in recent years, filled with the basics of daily needs, had given Chen Yu a firm grasp of the entire price system in Suzhou City.
This pricing was definitely reasonable!
“Daddy! I’m a little hungry!”
For a child of Tuan Tuan’s age, who was growing, and having participated in a regional competition today, burning lots of energy, hunger had already set in.
However, aside from the envelope Tong Ya had returned, Chen Yu had nothing on him.
Years of instinct told him that this money absolutely could not be touched.
Besides, the system-provided RV had nothing extra besides the raw materials for the fried cakes.
Seeming to sense Chen Yu’s awkwardness, Tuan Tuan moved closer to him in an obedient manner.
“Daddy! Why don’t you make me two fried cakes? This way, I can check out your cooking skills in advance, otherwise, the business tomorrow morning might be ruined!”
Chen Yu pinched Tuan Tuan’s nose, both annoyed and amused.
“It’s as if I’ve never made them for you before! Just wait!”
Chen Yu rolled up his sleeves and headed to the kitchen area, following the skill information provided by the system to mix the water and dough.
While the dough was resting, he prepared some filling to use.
Even during a minor trial run, beads of sweat had formed on Chen Yu’s forehead.
The steps provided by the system were not overly complicated, but there were so many details to focus on that Chen Yu felt a bit overwhelmed at first.
Fortunately, he had some previous experience and quickly adapted.
As the oil heated up and the cakes began frying, a rich aroma immediately began to spread.
“Wow, Daddy! It smells so good! The sugar cakes you fried before never smelled this good! Did you learn some new skills from somewhere?”
“Of course! It’s all from your dad’s self-researched efforts!”
Pleased with himself, Chen Yu was also slightly taken aback internally; just changing a few details made such a huge difference in the final product.
When the first batch of sugar cakes was ready, Tuan Tuan eagerly grabbed one with oiled paper.
She took a bite and the flavor was fragrant, tender, and crispy, sweet but not cloying, and the filling seemed to melt in her mouth, effortlessly sliding down her throat.
“It’s so delicious! Daddy, I want more, I want more!”
Chen Yu too couldn’t quite believe it and ate one himself, the taste giving him an inexplicable sense of elation.
“Young man, is this a mobile food cart? What are you selling here? It smells wonderful.”
An elderly lady dressed in red, fanning herself, approached, drawn by the smell, and looking like she was heading to join in the square dancing.
“It’s just ordinary fried cakes, but we haven’t even started…”
Before Chen Yu could finish saying the words about officially starting business, Tuan Tuan had grabbed a small stool and placed herself at the window, holding up the price sign Chen Yu had written.
“Grandma! Would you like to buy one to try?”
That adorable voice blossomed joy in the elderly lady’s heart.
“Oh my, what a lovely girl! Then give grandma a black sesame one!”
Chen Yu couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness seeing Tuan Tuan looking like a little money-grubber.
Fang Yuan’s departure had hit Tuan Tuan hard, but it seemed to have spurred some growth in the little girl.
Tuan Tuan decisively took Chen Yu’s phone, opening the payment page.
Chen Yu wrapped a black sesame sugar cake in oiled paper and handed it over.
As soon as the elderly lady paid, she eagerly put the sugar cake into her mouth.
