Chapter 9 No one cares? No, the time has not come!
"Why is it so expensive? Forget it." The young man waved his hand and left.
Chris was speechless for a while. He believed that as long as the other party had a taste, he would not think the price was expensive.
Do you want to have a taste test?
Chris recalled that when he was visiting a shopping mall in his previous life, when there were new products on display at the counter, there would always be a beautiful saleswoman holding a plate for customers passing by to try.
So here’s the problem. In previous lives, the food tastings were all done with disposable toothpicks.
But what I sell is cream. How do I insert a toothpick into it?
"Jonathan, a bowl of ice cream now sells for forty coppers." Chris had no choice but to lower the price.
Chris wrote "Snowflake Cake Forty Coins" on a wooden sign and asked a knight to hold it up.
On the way, a few people looked here, but did not come.
People in this city are less receptive to new things.
"Thirty coppers." Chris changed the sign and silently covered his face.
Ten minutes later.
Chris continued to lower the price: "Twenty coppers."
"Sir, you said such a delicious snowflake cake, why doesn't anyone come over to buy it?" Jonathan ate the whole bowl of snowflake cake, even licking the paper bowl, and still had some unfinished thoughts.
Chris scratched his hair, I want to know too.
Nowadays, the cream has a tendency to melt. In order to avoid waste, Chris rewarded each knight with a bowl.
Seeing that no one came to buy even twenty copper coins, Chris sighed and said, "Let's lower the price to ten copper coins."
"Sir, at this price, we will lose money."
"That's it. We can still get some money back. If we can't sell a bowl, then we will lose everything today." Chris was very helpless.
Unexpectedly, my first business venture in another world ended in failure.
······
Raymond is a baron in Motte City. Relying on his ancestral inheritance, he holds the position of political officer in the city.
Twelve years ago, he married a beautiful wife and gave birth to a lovely daughter. Raymond doted on this daughter very much.
A few years later, his wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and Raymond had a son and a daughter. He felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
But two years ago, a distressing thing happened.
Raymond's favorite daughter suddenly didn't want to eat for some unknown reason.
Seeing his daughter losing weight day by day, Raymond was so worried that he hired many doctors and even a magician, but to no avail.
My daughter's symptoms of not liking to eat are getting worse.
Raymond was in great pain. He could only numb himself by working hard. He was busy all morning today.
It was not until noon that Raymond dragged his tired body and prepared to go home for lunch.
"Here comes the snowflake cake, sweet snowflake cake."
At this time, Raymond heard the shouting coming from next to him, which couldn't help but bring back his memories.
When my daughter was young, she loved sweets. Every time she went shopping, she would hold Raymond's neck with both hands and say in a sweet voice, "Dad, I want to eat candy cakes, and I want to eat candied haws."
Raymond stretched out his hand and scratched his daughter's pretty nose: "Eating sweets will damage your teeth. Be good, we won't eat them."
"Humph, dad bullied me again." The daughter put her hands on her hips, her angry look was very endearing.
But now, my daughter doesn’t even want to eat her favorite sweets.
Raymond was thinking about what he saw, and he came to the ice cream stall and asked: "Boss, how do you sell ice cream?"
"Ten copper coins a bowl."
"Bring me a bowl."
Then, Raymond was surprised to see that the men in front of him all showed expressions of surprise.
Isn't it just selling a bowl of pastries?
After Raymond paid the money, he left with the ice cream cake.
"It's just like its name, it really looks like snowflakes." Raymond walked on the road, looked at the cakes in the disposable paper bowl, and muttered a few words.
After a while, Raymond returned home and put the snowflake cake in his hand on the dining table. He asked habitually: "Lillian, has Xue Rui eaten anything today?"
The maid in an apron came over, sighed, and said: "Sir, the cod soup I just made, the lady didn't drink a lick."
"Alas!" Raymond sighed, stood up and walked to the study.
"Sir, please wash your hands and get ready to eat," the maid said.
"I still have some work to do, I'll eat later." Raymond said without looking back.
Watching the master leave, the maid turned and walked to the kitchen next door.
At this moment, there was no one in the restaurant.
At this moment, a small figure walked over. It was a little girl. She looked about ten years old. She was very thin and could almost be described as skinny and bones, as if she would fall over if the wind blew her.
"Hey, it's only April, how can there be snow?" The little girl was a little confused when she saw the snow cake on the dining table.
She likes snow, white, pure and flawless snow. Even if she doesn't like eating now, she will take a bite of snow in winter.
The little girl grabbed a handful of ice cream with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth.
In an instant, her dark eyes lit up, followed by the second and third sip.
Not long after, she had eaten up the entire bowl of snowflake cake.
"Why is it so sticky?" After the little girl finished eating, she walked out of the restaurant and washed her hands.
Baron Raymond finished the last work at hand and came to the restaurant to prepare for dinner.
At this time, he turned his attention to the empty disposable paper bowl on the dining table.
The wife has returned to her parents' home with her son, and the servants at home will not steal her own food.
"Could it be..." Raymond was shocked, "My daughter Xue Rui ate it?"
Raymond went to find his daughter with excitement.
Finally, he saw Sherry washing her hands by the sink.
Raymond quickly ran over and grabbed his daughter.
I saw a faint white trace on the corner of my daughter's mouth.
"Dad, it's delicious, I want more."
This short sentence made Raymond burst into tears. His daughter finally had something she liked to eat.
"Okay, dad will buy it for you again." Raymond was so excited that his voice trembled a little, "Byron! Byron!"
Butler Byron trotted over and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Call all the servants in the house and come with me and go out."
"As you wish, sir." Byron bowed and bowed, then turned and left.
Raymond grabbed his daughter's shoulders and said, "Wait here for a while, and daddy will go buy you ice cream."
"Yeah!" Xue Rui nodded heavily.
Raymond quickly walked to the bedroom, grabbed a large handful of silver coins from the bedside table, and walked out of the door.
By this time, Byron had already gathered all the servants at home, more than twenty people in total.
"Let's go!" Raymond waved his hand and led the servants out in a grand manner.
