Chapter 77: Start Building Momentum
"Mom, I baked all the cakes you asked me to make during the day."
The next day will be Mr. Huang’s mother’s birthday, and Tong Huaqiong will deliver cakes to Mr. Huang early in the morning.
Chen Sufen has learned very quickly these days. She can learn how to bake most of the pastries just by watching Tong Huaqiong bake them once or twice.
She thought that her mother-in-law must be very tired after setting up the stall all day, so she did not rest for the whole day and the fire in the kitchen never went out. She also acted like a sister-in-law for the first time and asked Liu Yue'e, Gu Jingzhe, and Gu Dashu to help in the kitchen and bake some ordinary cakes that were necessary for the birthday banquet of Huang Yuanwai's mother.
Tong Huaqiong expressed her satisfaction.
If we were to ask who in the entire Gu family Tong Huaqiong trusts the most so far, it would definitely be Chen Sufen.
"Okay, clean up and go to bed early. The family will depend on you tomorrow." Tong Huaqiong said considerately.
She couldn't sleep yet because it was Mr. Huang's mother's birthday, and she had to prepare various materials for going to Mr. Huang's house tomorrow.
In addition to various pastries, she went to Mr. Huang's house yesterday and said that she could go into the Huang family kitchen to customize new pastries on Mrs. Huang's birthday, and she guaranteed that the new pastries would be popular among the guests and make Mrs. Huang happy.
The two conditions of showing off and making his mother happy were enough to impress Mr. Huang, and he agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
Tong Huaqiong decided to offer birthday peaches as well as birthday cakes.
These two things are absolutely cool.
In order to ensure the effect and taste of the cake, she must offer fresh ones, which requires her to be stationed at the Huang family.
As for how to ensure it, of course it is the golden finger of the space. She decided to make the cake in the space and pick it up immediately.
She tried it, and she could use the egg beater, oven and other tools in the space, she just couldn't take them out. After she was done, she could just ask Maner to take them out.
After going in and out of the space these days, she found that Gu Taohua and Maner could go in even without staying with her, but this time she didn't dare to take the risk and had to ensure that everything was foolproof.
This is also the reason why she must bring Maner with her.
Whether the Taohua Dessert brand can open up the high-end market and expand its reputation again depends on tomorrow's birthday banquet.
Now she has a stall in the town. Although she has taken over some of Sushiyuan's business, most of her customers are individual customers.
It is hard to say that most customers are not coming for the low prices of retail sales.
She not only has to do business with individual customers, but also provide customized pastry services, such as birthday banquets, wedding and childbirth banquets.
We want to make our own pastries the first choice of wealthy families in the entire Yanguan Town and even Pingchuan County.
So she had to stand out at Mrs. Huang’s birthday party.
She also planned to find a shop after Mr. Huang’s birthday banquet. She couldn’t always run a roadside stall. She wanted to use the shop to compete head-on with Sushiyuan.
Now is the time to start building momentum.
Tong Huaqiong is very confident about this battle.
......
"Sister Maner, are you going to sleep with your grandma again today?"
Man'er was very excited to learn that she would go to Huang Yuanwai's house in Yanguan Town with Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua tomorrow. After taking a bath, she asked Chen Sufen to take out her new clothes. At this time, she walked towards Tong Huaqiong's room holding the new clothes.
She will wear new clothes tomorrow.
"Yes, let's go to Mr. Huang's house in Yanguan Town with grandma tomorrow." Maner said to Yaozu.
"I want to go too." said Gu Yaozu.
As the first grandson of the Gu family, he used to have all the opportunities to go out. But now, his grandmother no longer considers him wherever she goes, and even gives the delicious food to Man'er first during meals. He feels so wronged.
"Grandma said she would only take me." Man'er thought for a moment and said to Yaozu, "Be good, I'll bring you something delicious."
Gu Yaozu looked aggrieved and about to cry. He also wanted to go to Yanguan Town.
Liu Yue'e felt very sad after listening to the conversation between the two children.
She turned around and complained to her own mother Zhao who was out herding sheep, "Dashu's mother's heart is so high that she doesn't care about Yaozu, her grandson, but only cares about the money-losing girl from the old house. You haven't seen it, mother, she treats the girl from the old house like a golden phoenix, giving her chicken legs and eggs at the dinner table. I think the first wife will squeeze out our Yaozu so much that he will have no place to stand."
"Tomorrow she will go to Mr. Huang's house to celebrate Old Madam Huang's birthday and she will bring the maid from the old house with her. Don't you think that such a good thing should be for the sake of honoring the ancestors? But she only thinks about Man'er. I have been with her for so long, but I am increasingly unable to understand what she is thinking. No wonder people say that widows have strange personalities, they are absolutely right."
Zhao nodded at Liu Yue'e and said, "Come on, you have teamed up with your mother-in-law to bully the eldest sister-in-law before, and your Yaozu has also been spoiled before. Now it's your eldest sister's turn, and you can't stand it. In my opinion, your mother-in-law deserves this. The eldest sister has suffered so much at her hands, and now she should compensate her."
Liu Yue'e curled her lips.
Who is her mother on the side of?
Zhao said again, "Now your mother-in-law has understood, you'd better go along with her. She used to dote on your family, and your life was a mess. No one in the village wanted to get involved with your family. Now she has established her life on her own, and being impartial is a good family tradition. You'd better not get involved. She treats the old family well, and she hasn't treated you badly."
Zhao seemed to be quite disappointed with Liu Yue'e.
If anyone is the troublemaker behind the prosperity of the Gu family, it is definitely her own daughter.
Who does her own daughter take after? If she hadn't come out of her belly, she would have thought she took after Tong Da Jiao.
Now that Tong Da Jiao has become a better person, why is her daughter still so stubborn?
She must be beaten every time she sees him.
Thinking of this, he shouted, "Your mother-in-law is not a piece of shit. You should live a good life in the Gu family. If you become a troublemaker, she will really let Dashu retire you. If such a day really comes, I will not care about you, and you can just be a nun."
Liu Yue'e was beaten and rebuked by Zhao, and she said to Zhao: "I just complained to you. Whose daughter-in-law doesn't go to her parents' home to say bad things about her husband's family? What's wrong with me saying a few words? Why are you so angry with me?"
Zhao rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, "You should learn from your elder sister-in-law."
Then he turned around and walked away, leading the sheep.
When Liu Yue'e stepped into the yard, she ran into Tong Huaqiong head-on, and she was so scared that her heart stopped.
She was afraid that her mother-in-law would hear her complaining about her mother-in-law in front of her own mother. She saw clearly how her mother-in-law treated Chen Sufen. If Chen Sufen made her a little dissatisfied, her mother-in-law would make Chen Sufen sleep on the floor in front of her bed, and she would beat her legs and back, drink water and empty her urine all night.
It's over. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would go crazy again and use this method to deal with him.
"You run out to play after dinner. Can you do something serious every day?"
Tong Huaqiong thought Liu Yue'e had gone out to gossip with someone again, so she started knocking.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I just stood at the door." Liu Yue'e said.
It seemed that her mother-in-law did not hear her complaints, otherwise she would not be so emotionally stable. Liu Yue'e felt slightly relieved.
"I'm giving you and Dashu a task."
When Liu Yue'e was hunched over and about to go back to her room, Tong Huaqiong's words made her stop.
