Chapter 682: Chapter 683: Placing a Large Order

"Fine, fine, fine, I’ll pay half," He Jin didn’t object at all and couldn’t help but glance at the box in Wu Xiayue’s hands.

Why didn’t he accept that box of pastries just now? He could have eaten a couple more pieces. Now all the benefits go to this woman, Wu Xiayue.

"Xiao Chiang, she’s buying eight boxes, and I want to buy three more for myself."

So that’s eleven boxes in total?

Chiang Xiao suppressed her joy and nodded, "No problem, but one of these boxes is actually a mix, with the normal packaging the matcha ones are fifty pieces per box, the honey and the others are thirty-five per box."

"There are other flavors?"

"Yes, red bean and green bean."

"I love red bean!" Wu Xiayue exclaimed, "Then I want two boxes of the red bean, four boxes of the honey, and four boxes of the tea powder!"

She initially wanted eight boxes, and now it’s ten boxes?

Chiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Although she had mentally prepared herself, believing that there are still many wealthy people in this world and that desserts would not worry about buyers, she still couldn’t believe and was excited when a big customer actually came and bought so much from her.

"I’ll take two boxes of tea powder and one box of green bean," He Jin touched his nose. He found it incredible that he rarely succumbed to the temptation of such sweets, but still really wanted to eat them.

And he still really wanted to eat them now.

What’s with this Xiao Chiang? How did she grow up? How come she draws so well and makes such delicious food?

"Ok. You can pay half of the money now, and when I have someone deliver them later, you can pay the remaining balance," Chiang Xiao was quite satisfied with this unexpected gain.

With business coming in for the pastries, her grandparents would have more to look forward to. When people have expectations and something to focus on in life, they lead more fulfilled and positive lives.

She felt that if her grandparents had more things to do, their spirits would also improve greatly.

While they were talking here, a few people who came to appreciate the art heard them and became curious, coming over to inquire.

After understanding the situation, some scoffed at the idea of such expensive pastries, thinking it was simply tricking those with more money than sense. However, two others trusted He Jin and thought that if He Jin was willing to pay that price for the pastries, then there must be something exceptional about them.

Being art enthusiasts who were here to play with, appreciate, and buy art, and coming from well-off families, driven by curiosity, these two people also ordered two boxes of pastries each from Chiang Xiao, scheduling the delivery for when Wu Xiayue’s order would be delivered.

Chiang Xiao took note of each order, collected half the deposit from everyone, and immediately left Mingchen Studio for the restaurant she had visited before. After purchasing a batch of game for them and collecting the money, she made her way back home.

Once home, she told Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao about the orders, which left them both utterly stunned.

"You mean to say, you took a trip to the county town and secured nearly twenty boxes of pastry orders?" Chiang Songhai felt bewildered, almost thinking he had heard wrong.

After Chiang Xiao had set a price for the pastries, he couldn’t sleep that night, lying in bed and sighing with his spouse, talking about how they seemed to have lost money this time.

One expense was Aunt Ah Yu’s tuition fee, which was several hundred.

Another was their spending outside over the past month.

Then, of course, there was the money Chiang Xiao spent on packaging.

And there were the tea powder and honey too. It seemed like they would have to keep those just for their family to eat.

But this way, they had lost quite a bit of money.

Ge Liutao also felt that such expensive pastries couldn’t be sold and had been distressed about the money for some days.

But the old couple, fearing Chiang Xiao would be upset, simply dared not discuss these matters with her.
