Chapter 469: The eldest daughter's peach blossom
Taohua smiled and nodded, then said affirmatively, "That's right, Auntie. This sweet potato cake is only two cents."
Hearing this, the woman seemed to have found a great bargain. She waved her hand and said generously, "Then give me two to try."
Taohua hurriedly picked out two steaming sweet potato cakes from the steamer with a smile and handed them to the woman carefully.
The woman took the baba, took out four cents from her pocket and handed it to Taohua, then took a bite impatiently.
Instantly, a look of surprise lit up her face. "Oh, it's delicious! As expected, these sweet potato cakes taste great, and they're so big. What a bargain!"
Seeing this scene, Butler Liu nodded secretly with satisfaction. These people are indeed veteran actors. They can always grasp the key points when speaking and create the right atmosphere. Not bad.
At this time, another woman wearing a floral shirt asked, "Miss, how much are these baba?"
Taohua, still smiling, patiently introduced: "Auntie, this kind of baba is filled with vegetables and costs three cents each; the one with oil residue inside costs five cents each."
When the woman heard this, she took out eight coins from her pocket without hesitation and said, "Then give me one stuffed with vegetables and one stuffed with oil residue. I want to try something new."
"Okay!" Taohua quickly took the silver and skillfully picked out two glutinous rice cakes from the steamer, handing them to the woman. "Here you go, I guarantee they'll be delicious."
It contains the chicken essence given by my mother, and something called oyster sauce, so the taste must be special.
The woman took the baba, took a bite of the one stuffed with vegetables, and then impatiently took a bite of the one stuffed with oil residue.
Instantly, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god, this is so delicious! The vegetable filling is so tender and refreshing, and the oil residue filling is even more delicious. The key is, how can such ordinary ingredients make people taste the delicious flavor of chicken and fish? It's absolutely amazing!"
Seeing the woman's exaggerated reaction, Butler Liu shook his head secretly. He began to wonder, "What an exaggerated expression! How can a baba be so delicious? It's just filled with vegetables and oil residue. I don't believe it can taste like seafood."
Suddenly, a passerby squeezed out from the crowd. He was full of doubt and shouted loudly, "Is there really such delicious baba? You are not trying to trick us here! Humph, give me a five-cent one to try."
Taohua took the silver without saying a word, quickly picked out a cake stuffed with oil residue from the steamer, and handed it to the passerby.
The passerby was also a straightforward person. Without hesitation, he stuffed the poop into his mouth and began to chew it. At first, his face was still a little skeptical, but as he chewed, his features seemed to gradually relax and his expression became one of immense enjoyment.
Then, his eyes widened, his face filled with amazement as he exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! I never thought this baba could be so delicious! Even with this ordinary oil residue filling, it actually tastes like the delicious seafood! This craftsmanship is simply amazing!"
These words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. The crowd slowly moved towards the steamer where Taohua was standing.
"I want two with vegetarian fillings!" a young man shouted.
"I'll have three sweet potato cakes!" an old lady carrying a vegetable basket also said.
"Boss, give me one with oil residue filling." An uncle who looked like he was in a hurry also joined in.
"Mommy, I want the little tiger-shaped poop." A little girl said in a baby voice while pulling at her mother's clothes.
Everyone's attention has been completely diverted from the gossip and disputes just now. They are all attracted by the poop of the "Poop King" and want to taste this delicacy that has been praised as miraculous.
Dongmei stood aside, greeting everyone warmly: "Dear guests, please come in! We have several tables ready. If you are not in a hurry, you can sit down and enjoy your meal. Oh, and we also have fragrant porridge with refreshing pickles. I guarantee you will enjoy it."
Awang was also busy, skillfully setting the table and warmly greeting every guest. After his time at Xiuying's house, the arrogance of the young master had long since disappeared.
Outside the shop, Miss Wang Er's pretty face was frosty, and she was holding the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand. She stared intently at the man standing in front of the steamer, picking up peach blossoms for the cake with skillful movements, her heart full of resentment.
In her opinion, Taohua was just the daughter of the sweet potato noodle shop owner, how could she be compared to herself? Her Wang family owned a cloth shop and was extremely wealthy, while she was the authentic daughter of a wealthy family. Only she was worthy of the young master of the Chen family, and they were a perfect match made in heaven.
"Miss Wang." Liu Quan approached slowly. He bowed slightly, a respectful expression on his face as he spoke slowly, "If word of what happened today reached our master, he would probably be furious. You are surely aware of Miss Taohua's status; she is the only daughter-in-law our master approves of. I hope Miss Wang will exercise due consideration and discretion in her future actions."
Miss Wang Er's face was filled with arrogance and disdain. She snorted coldly and said, "You're just a servant, what do you know? Zexi and I have been childhood sweethearts. Our marriage was agreed upon by our elders long before Concubine Liu. How can we just call it off?"
Liu Quan still had a respectful smile on his face, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Miss Wang Er, you are right. I am just a servant, and I dare not speak nonsense in front of you.
But although Concubine Liu has some status in the Chen family, she is just a concubine. And you are a rich lady.
"Look, which young master's lifelong affairs would be decided by a concubine without authorization? So, the so-called marriage between you and our young master was just a joke. Why would someone of your status take it seriously?"
At this point, Liu Quan paused slightly, then looked at Miss Wang Er calmly, and continued, "Besides, as the eldest son of our family, according to the rules, it is natural for him to marry the eldest daughter of a family of equal status. Miss Taohua happens to be the eldest daughter of a family of equal status, and she is a perfect match for our young master."
Miss Wang Er was so angry that her face turned ashen as she glared at Liu Quan. "You... you bastard who looks down on others!" She gritted her teeth and cursed, "You are just a lowly servant, and how dare you speak to me like that! Remember this, one day, I will make you pay for your rudeness today. You will kneel at my feet and respectfully call me Madam!"
