Chapter 420: Ignorance
"Strawberry cake, a tael of silver. Mango cake, a tael of silver together......"
"Croissant, 500 wen apiece, matcha bread, 600 wen ......"
"Egg tarts, one tael of silver and four ......"
"Cookies, one tael of silver, puffs, one tael of silver and four ......"
"Fruit gummies, a pack of silver ...... taels"
"Matcha mousse, one tael of silver, yogurt mousse, one tael of silver, ......"
The people next to the six cabinets read out the prices on the signs almost at the same time, and as they learned more and more about the prices, their hearts became more and more shocked.
These things are inevitably too cheap!
You must know that these grams are all dim sum that has never appeared in the capital, even if they have not tasted it, but with the word "strange", these things can easily shout a high price.
After all, the sweet island on the street can even shout out the high price of ten taels of dim sum for those common ones, but the most expensive here is only one or two silver, compared to the two, the price here is really a little low.
In terms of appearance alone, the dim sum here is far more than that of Sweet Island next door. Isn't it a bit ...... for the shopkeeper to set such a price?
Everyone looked at Xia Yan with inquiring eyes, and in their hearts, they had already begun to think that these snacks were just a vain appearance, and if they weren't for that, they wouldn't be sold at such a price.
Compared to the sweet island on the street, the dim sum sold here is simply the price of cabbage.
Xia Yan naturally saw what these people were thinking, and didn't explain much, just smiled and said: "Everyone can taste it with confidence, if there is anything dissatisfied with the taste, I will not take a penny, and I will never let everyone suffer." ”
With Xia Yan's assurance, everyone put their minds at ease and chose their favorite desserts.
A few people who said they had something to leave first had no intention of leaving after seeing this price.
The shopkeeper said that the new store opened today, and the whole store was half price, which means that the most expensive dim sum was only 500 Wen, if they couldn't afford to taste some of it, how could they mix it up in the capital.
The dim sum on the sweet island next door is only ten taels of silver a piece, and these people have no chance to taste it, if they don't take the opportunity to eat it today, it will not be in vain.
Before the dessert reaches its mouth, many people have already begun to make up their minds. Such a novelty, you must bring something with you to open your family's eyes when you leave.
"Shopkeeper, bring me that strawberry cake!"
"I want one too!"
"Puffs, give me one!"
……
Everyone crowded in front of the cabinet and talked nonsense, so that Xia Yan didn't know who to listen to.
"Everyone, don't worry, line up one by one." Xia Yan smiled at everyone, "I am fully prepared today, and I will definitely make everyone have a good time." So rest assured, there is no such thing as a dessert being sold out today. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who were in a hurry to take the lead were also patient, and everyone dispersed, lined up in front of their favorite counters, and reported their favorite desserts in order.
An Zhi, Ting Lan and Lin Zhou were in charge of the five cabinets inside, while Xia Yan stood by the cabinet by the door, preparing and packing for the orderers.
While the four of them were busy, the first wave of people ordering had already found their favorite seats with trays and sat down.
It stands to reason that they can't wait to taste the so-called desserts at the moment, but for some reason, their hands holding small spoons or forks never move to these desserts.
They really can't afford to destroy such a delicate thing.
Smelling the special aroma that kept wafting, they kept swallowing. Finally, instinct prevailed over reason, and they didn't care so much, and they looked at each other and began to act almost simultaneously.
"Too ...... It's so delicious! Someone only took one bite and looked at the small plate in front of him with an incredible look, "What is this taste, what is it, and why is it so soft and tender!" ”
"You're asking nonsense." The person who was queuing up saw this person so intoxicated, and glanced at it disdainfully, "You ordered this snack yourself just now, can you not know what it is?" ”
"Of course I knew it was strawberry cake." The man was immersed in the deliciousness, and he looked at the man with some dissatisfaction, "I mean, it's white and soft like snow, but it's not cold at all, and it has some just the right amount of sweetness!" Do you know? If you know, tell me quickly, if you don't know, shut up as soon as possible, and don't affect my mood here! ”
"I ...... I ......" The man retreated a little, and was about to turn around and ignore this person, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "You are stupid, you are really not smart, you just said that this thing is a strawberry cake, then this white is not a strawberry but a cake." ”
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows quite proudly, with a look of "I've already told you the answer, see what else you can do with me."
"Ahem! You're not right. The other person who was eating cake next to him couldn't listen anymore, and hurriedly spoke, "I asked the guys in this shop just now, and they told me that the white thing is called cream, and the red thing is strawberry." As for the word 'cake', it is the unified name of this dessert. Even if they don't say it, you should understand, strawberry cake, mango cake, kiwi cake...... These things are just distinguished by the fruit on top, and at the end of the day they are all cakes. ”
"As far as you know." Someone couldn't help but glance at this person, "Those cakes are all white bottoms, why can't these white things be called cakes?" ”
"Aren't you raising the bar?" The man was so angry that he almost threw the spoon out of his hand, "The guys in this shop all say it's cream, what else do you want to call it?" ”
……
Seeing that there was about to quarrel over a few nouns here, someone next to him shouted as if he hadn't heard the quarrel here: "This mousse is so cold, so sweet, so delicious!" ”
"Mousse?" The people who had quarreled before were stunned, and someone muttered, "I remember that this thing seems to be a cake too." ”
As he spoke, several people poked their heads out of the seat at the same time, just to take a look at the appearance of the mousse cake.
"You see, it's a cake, but it's not a little white." The man raised an eyebrow triumphantly.
"What's this green one?" Someone couldn't help but point to the mousse, "I've eaten dim sum for so many years, and I've never seen this color." ”
"The shopkeeper said that this is matcha mousse, and as for this green one, I'm afraid it's matcha."
"Matcha? What is matcha? ”
"This ......"
For a while, several people who ate the cake were at a loss.
However, a small piece of dim sum, from top to bottom, there is no one of the ingredients they have ever heard of.
What is a strawberry? What is Mango? What is a Confused Peach?
Saying...... It's winter! In this cold winter, where did the shopkeeper get the fruit!
It was only then that everyone realized that these fruits were not only something they had never seen before, but they were something that could not have appeared at such a time!
Before that, the only fruits that Huaguo could eat in winter were oranges sold by the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce. That thing had already been sold for a sky-high price, and they hadn't been willing to taste it for twenty taels of silver a piece.
Even if they have the heart to buy it, they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it at all with their identity.
Although the number of oranges in recent years has increased compared to previous years, they have been set by various dignitaries and nobles before they are ripe, so that they, the common people, want to buy some, and they have to pick up those that are exposed between the fingers of the nobles, or they don't look down on them at all.
However, there are more monks and less meat, even those defective products they can't grab.
So for them, they only know that there are oranges, but they really don't have the opportunity to see that kind of legendary thing.
At this moment, a voice came from the container, and several startled people almost threw the spoon in their hands: "Bring me a piece of orange cake." ”
"Tangerine!" The people in the queue at the back immediately exclaimed, "That person just said oranges!" ”
"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper's! Do you have that legendary orange on top of this cake? Someone immediately turned his head and shouted at Xia Yan.
Although the area of this shop is large, Xia Yan can still hear it clearly when he shouts at the top of his voice.
She smiled at the man and said, "It's an orange, but it's peeled, and if it's a whole orange, we don't sell it in our shop." ”
"What's so good about the skin! Taste the oranges is the right thing to do! ”
"Not really!" The others immediately nodded, and the people in front of the line immediately shouted, "Tangerine, I want orange cake!" ”
For a while, even more than a dozen people only needed orange cakes, which made An Zhi at the back of the container feel quite helpless.
"Guys, aren't you really going to try anything else?" An Zhi smiled at everyone, "Other fruits don't taste worse than oranges." Maybe it's even better. After all, oranges can be bought outside, and other fruits are the only ones in the small shop, and there is really no such shop in this village, and when you are all full, you will feel no appetite for the most delicious things. ”
After some persuasion by Anzhi, the rest of the people no longer stared at the oranges.
She was right, oranges were always available, and other fruits were unheard of and unseen.
In order to prevent extraneous branches, and to reduce trouble, these fruits were also beaten into jam when they were used on cakes, so these so-called strawberries were just a lump of red mud in the eyes of everyone, and the mango cake was a lump of yellow mud.
All in all, in the entire counter, except for the orange, the rest of the fruit is no longer visible.
In order to avoid suspicion, the fruits selected by Xia Yan are all things that Chinese people have never seen.
After all, it's winter, and if they take out the fruits they can usually eat in this season, it will not only attract people's attention, but also cause endless trouble.
