Chapter 357 Cheesecake
"Guess." Su Nan smiled subtly.
……
"What is this?" Funina looked at the green cake in front of her with sparkling eyes.
At first glance, it looks like a finely crafted jadeite, and the fresh color makes people feel as if they are in the embrace of nature. The surface is smooth as silk, emitting a faint green light, like dewdrops on lotus leaves in the morning, crystal clear. The edges of the cake are round and neat, giving people a sense of exquisiteness.
The cake is garnished with mint and cherries.
“It looks delicious…”
Finina licked her lips with her pink tongue and suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Cheese and grass cake." Jones Lawrence, the owner of the cake shop, couldn't help but smile when he saw that the visitor was a beautiful girl as pleasing to the eye as Funina.
Of course, this does not mean that Jones covets the beauty of the beautiful girl, but because...
"Beautiful girls like these never bargain when buying things... Besides, the girl in front of me can be seen at a glance to be from a wealthy family." Thinking so in his heart, Jones rubbed his hands, and a smile of a profiteer broke out on his face.
"My beautiful lady, this cake is made especially for a beauty like you!" Jones praised. "It not only looks beautiful, but also tastes great. The fragrance of grass and the sweetness of fruit blend perfectly. Every bite is like a feast for the taste buds."
Funina's heart was slightly moved, and she couldn't take her eyes off the cake.
Seeing Furninna's expression, Jones knew that this wave was a sure win!
So, he took the opportunity to continue, "This cake uses the freshest ingredients and is absolutely healthy and has no burden. If you buy it now, I can give you a special discount."
Funina was a little hesitant. She didn't care much about the price, but she was still wary of sales pitches from strangers.
However, the temptation of the cake was so great that she couldn't help but ask, "What's the discounted price?"
Jones smiled and made a five gesture.
"Five gold coins? It doesn't look very expensive..." After hearing this, Funina murmured softly, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll buy it."
Having said this, Finina took out five gold coins from the small pouch on her waist and handed them to Jones in front of his shocked gaze.
gudu~
Swallowing slightly, Jones felt a little uneasy.
Oh no, this wave might have ruined a big shot!
Five gold coins are given as soon as he said it... You know, what he meant just now was that five silver coins would be enough!
The raw materials for this grass cake only cost about twenty copper coins in total. In other places in Mondstadt, the market price of this grass cake is about fifty copper coins...
And now, he was "lucky" enough to harvest five gold coins.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Jones Lawrence encouraged himself in his heart, "After all, even if I am a collateral bloodline, I am still a nobleman with the name 'Lawrence'."
"There will definitely not be an ending where a man is shot in the back seventeen times and it is judged as suicide..."
In today's Teyvat continent, all metal resources are subject to special official control, especially resources such as gold...
In addition, the Zhuhai Alliance established corresponding rules thousands of years ago, that is, productivity must be linked to the level of social development and the living standards of civilians... This has led to the current market, whether it is the quality of goods or market prices, data are strictly controlled.
Those who sell inferior products as good ones, those who maliciously drive up prices, those who force purchases or sales... will all be severely punished.
"No... the price of five gold coins is still too high..."
"I don't want to be sent to jail by the market regulator. Otherwise, it will not only tarnish the reputation of the Lawrence family, but also give people from other families the opportunity to attack the Lawrence family."
Despite having the Lawrence family as his background, Jones was still worried that the sale of high-priced items would send him to Mondstadt prison and might have an overall impact on the Lawrence family.
"Wait, beautiful lady!"
Just as Furninha lifted her hair from her forehead and was about to taste the delicious cake, Jones immediately interrupted her.
"Hmm?" Hearing Jones' words, Furninna raised her little head and made a puzzled sound, "What's the matter?"
"My beautiful lady, you misunderstood..." Jones took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "The market price of this small cake is fifty copper coins. You gave... too much!"
Having said this, Jones returned the four gold coins to Funina with some heartache, then opened the cabinet and prepared to start giving change.
"Is it a lot...?" Finina blinked her eyes and looked at the four returned gold coins lying in her palm. "It turns out that this cake is only fifty copper coins..."
"Ouch!"
Taking the given spoon, she scooped off a small piece. After taking a bite, a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
"Good times~"
Then, her movements became faster.
Once, twice, three times...
“Eh?” After swallowing the last piece of cake, Funina looked at the plate in her hand in confusion and shook it slightly, “Why is it gone…”
"My beautiful lady, I need to return you ninety-nine silver coins and fifty copper coins..."
This time it’s not that he doesn’t want to sell it at a higher price, but he feels that if he sells it at a higher price, the grass on his grave will probably grow taller.
Jones counted the coins and was about to give them to Funina when he suddenly realized that the girl in front of him had already been standing on the shelf, apparently picking out new cakes...
"Can we eat these little cakes?" Funina's eyes were fixed on the little cakes of different colors.
"Um...are the small cakes so delicious? I don't understand..." Jones was a little confused, but he still nodded, "These small cakes are placed here for sale, so..."
"Bring them all up to me and sell them at normal prices." Finina continued to say this, and Lord Uther and the others consciously appeared from the void, and began to take the small cakes on the shelf one by one and put them on the table beside them.
"Please calculate the price yourself first, and then tell me when you're done." After turning to Jones and saying this, Funina sat down and began to enjoy her cake.
"...Alas." Jones sighed softly in his heart, feeling somewhat helpless and fortunate at the same time. Then he began to silently count the number and price of the small cakes that Funina had eaten.
Chew Chew Chew~
While Finina was enjoying the delicious cake, the Knights of the Four Winds, under the orders of the four captains, began to search everywhere in Mondstadt like irritated wasps in a hornet's nest.
Following the instructions of the captains, as long as the knights see someone with blue, white, or white hair, they will step forward and ask without hesitation... and they will ask with a very friendly attitude.
