Chapter 62 If you have money, you will have confidence

Tong Huaqiong looked up and saw Lu Zhaozhao standing at the kitchen door with one foot already half way in.

There was an intoxicated expression on his face.

"Aunt Tong, what kind of pastry is this? It smells so good that I can't sleep."

Lu Zhaozhao sniffed and smiled brightly at Tong Huaqiong.

"Chestnut crisps, try it." Tong Huaqiong picked up a piece and handed it to Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao took it and was slightly disappointed.

I thought it was some kind of exotic pastry.

It turned out to be chestnut crisps.

Chestnut pastry is a common pastry in almost all pastry shops. A rich girl like Lu Zhaozhao has eaten chestnut pastry from not only the shops in the provincial capital, but also those in Shengjing.

However, the chestnut cake in her hand was a little different from the ones she usually ate. It had a unique shape and smelled too good to be true. Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but take a bite.

Oh my god, this has opened up a new realm of chestnut crisps.

It was so delicious that Lu Zhaozhao swallowed it in two or three gulps. After finishing, he reached out to Tong Huaqiong again.

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

Her chestnut cakes were for sale, and everyone in the room was drooling at the aroma, but no one dared to eat them under Tong Huaqiong's tyranny.

Even Gu Taohua, who worked hard with her to set up the stall, was not allowed to eat as much as she wanted if she didn't sell any leftovers.

Lu Zhaozhao looked like a pretty little girl with puffy cheeks and looked at Tong Huaqiong with innocent eyes like a moose.

Tong Huaqiong thought of her undergraduate roommate and best friend, Lu Zhaozhao, who was just like her in terms of being a foodie. Tong Huaqiong also remembered the cake she had not had time to give away, and her heart softened. She took out another piece of chestnut cake and handed it to Lu Zhaozhao.

Okay, just pamper her, just treat her as if she were your best friend, just treat it as paying off the bad karma you had with Gu Jingzhe in your previous life.

"good to eat."

The freshly baked chestnut cakes were still steaming hot. Lu Zhaozhao held them in his hands, blowing on them while eating.

Gu Taohua felt a little aggrieved. She had been busy all night, but her mother didn't even bother to give her a piece of food. Why should Lu Zhaozhao give it to her just because she wanted it? At this time, her mother didn't say anything like it was difficult to make money.

Not only Gu Taohua thought so, but Liu Yue'e also thought so.

"This is for selling." Gu Taohua couldn't help but mutter.

Tong Huaqiong glared at Gu Taohua fiercely.

Lu Zhaozhao touched the gold bracelet on her hand, took it off, handed it to Tong Huaqiong and said, "Aunt Tong, can I exchange this bracelet for a basket of chestnut cakes?"

Tong Huaqiong took a breath. This Lu Zhaozhao was really generous, so generous that she seemed to be indifferent to worldly matters.

No wonder in the previous life, whenever Gu Taohua acted coquettishly and complained to her, she would open the vault and give her gold coins.

"Aunt Tong, aren't you going to sell these chestnut cakes at the market? Why can't you sell them to me? It doesn't matter who you sell them to." Lu Zhaozhao was almost about to put the bracelet on Tong Huaqiong's hand.

Tong Huaqiong thought that this was true, but this big gold bracelet had two gems on it. Let alone exchanging it for a basket of cakes, I'm afraid it could even be exchanged for the Gu family's yard.

It's true that she likes money, but this exchange is so unequal.

"Zhao Zhao, auntie is very happy that you bought her cakes, but this bracelet is too valuable. A basket of cakes is only worth a few dollars." Tong Huaqiong said.

In fact, it was also a hint that Lu Zhaozhao could pay the money, otherwise taking a big gold bracelet from a little girl would always be suspected of forced sale.

"It's okay. Love is priceless." Lu Zhaozhao swallowed the chestnut crisp in his mouth and said nonchalantly.

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

It’s good to have money, and having money gives you confidence.

Having money can easily resolve embarrassment, just like when Lu Zhaozhao took out a big gold bracelet, her calm look made Gu Taohua shut up.

"Oh, this bracelet is so beautiful!"

Liu Yue'e, who was standing aside, had been envious since the bracelet was revealed.

The huge gold and diamonds were so dazzling that they were blinding.

How lucky is my uncle to be able to drive a cart for such a rich family. The last time I went to the Zheng family, Mrs. Zheng didn't have such a valuable bracelet on her hand.

As early as when Gu Taohua returned home, she saw that Gu Taohua was wearing a hairpin inlaid with pearls on her head. She thought that her mother-in-law bought it for her sister-in-law with the money she earned from selling cakes, and she felt quite jealous.

Gu Taohua told her that it was Lu Zhaozhao who gave it to her, but she didn't quite believe it.

We haven't known each other for long. Who would give me a big hairpin decorated with beads right away?

At this time, seeing Lu Zhaozhao taking off her bracelet to buy cakes, he was amazed and envied Gu Taohua and her mother-in-law's good luck.

It would be great if I could give her this bracelet!

Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched. Liu Yue'e was really short-sighted.

"Sister Yue'e, please accept it for Aunt Tong." Lu Zhaozhao handed the bracelet to Liu Yue'e.

Liu Yue'e stretched out her hand to take it, but was snatched away by Tong Huaqiong.

"Well, Zhaozhao, auntie can still afford these two cakes. Take this bracelet." Tong Huaqiong handed the bracelet to Lu Zhaozhao with a kind smile.

Lu Zhaozhao refused for a while, but Tong Huaqiong put the bracelet back on her hand.

Lu Zhaozhao smiled sheepishly and suddenly said, "Aunt Tong, my family often orders cakes from the cake shop for our own consumption or as gifts. How about we order cakes from you in the future? If Aunt Tong is willing, I will tell the housekeeper when I get home and you can just deliver them to our door every few days."

This is exactly what Tong Huaqiong was waiting for.

The Lu family is a wealthy family, so this must be a huge order.

Tong Huaqiong said: "It's possible, but I don't know..."

Lu Zhaozhao continued, "Are you afraid that I can't make the decision, Aunt Tong? I can still make the decision on such a small matter. I'll just tell my grandfather when the time comes. Besides, if my brother is really gluten-intolerant, Aunt Tong is my brother's savior."

"If you want to open a pastry shop in the city, feel free to let my grandfather help you."

A smile appeared on Tong Huaqiong's face. She was determined to open a shop in the provincial capital. With the Lu family as the pioneers, things would be simple.

Compared to letting Gu Jingzhe rely on marriage to establish a relationship with the Lu family, she would rather cling to the Lu family and gain a firm foothold with her own skills.

Thinking of this, Tong Huaqiong said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Lu. I haven't decided on opening a shop yet. I can take the job of delivering cakes to your house. I'll bring you a batch of cakes tomorrow. You can go back and let your family taste them to see if they are to their taste. If not, I can adjust the recipe."

Lu Zhaozhao ate the chestnut pastry and his eyes kept scanning the other pastries, revealing his foodie nature.

"Don't worry, I'm a picky eater. If I say it's delicious, it's delicious."

Gu Dashu and others looked at Tong Huaqiong with admiration, and she and Lu Zhaozhao decided to send cakes to the Lu family in no time.

The Lu family is much richer than Mr. Huang's family, and the Lu family is also a long-term business.

The group of bad guys in the Gu family were instantly motivated. What their mother said was indeed right. If everyone worked together, they could live a good life.

Things are visibly getting better these days.

After baking the pastries, Tong Huaqiong was exhausted.

Gu Dahan mustered up the courage to come to Tong Huaqiong and said something, but Tong Huaqiong really didn't have the energy to deal with this stepson, so she waved her hand and went into her room to rest.

It’s so tiring, day after day.

Fortunately, she had fifty-seven taels of silver today. Tong Huaqiong shook the silver in the cloth bag, and the rustling sound made her feel safe.

Before going to bed, she thought that there was not much butter left at home, and the milk powder, condensed milk, coconut flakes, maple syrup, rum...these ingredients that could enhance the flavor of pastries were about to run out.

The key point is that most of the things in her space house have been moved away by Maner. If they are no longer there in the future, wouldn’t the taste be different? It will ruin her reputation sooner or later.

How can she compete head-on with Sushiyuan?

With a lot of mess in her mind, Tong Huaqiong felt a headache the more she thought about it, so she simply closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

In the dream, I entered the space again and came to the room of my previous life.
