Fang Tong understood as soon as he heard the familiar tone of Shopkeeper Zhao.

It's a big order, so he took it! It's for an important person, and it needs to be customized and look good!

He stretched out his hand: "Wait, let me show you a few things first."

He carefully took out the food he had packed and brought out in the morning.

As soon as Manager Zhao saw his attitude, he became excited.

The first thing Fang Tong took out was a towel roll that the whole family praised after it was made.

When Manager Fang saw this, he was stunned.

What was this? The skin looked as tender as a boiled egg, yet it was translucent. He had never seen anything like this before!

That’s not all. The second thing Fang Tong took out was a cream roll. He made it by mixing the cake flour he usually makes into the thickness of a pancake, then putting the cream used for making towel rolls on it, rolling it up, and cutting off the two sides.

The third one was made when he was making cream rolls. He stacked several layers of cake slices on top of each other. This time the cream was spread on the outside and words were written on it.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, take a look..."

His arm was pulled, and Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the things on the table and swallowed his saliva: "Wait a minute, brother, talk slowly, one by one, and tell me about this first."

He pointed to the rolled towel in front of him.

Fang Tong cleared his throat: "This is called a towel roll!"

"Towel?" Shopkeeper Zhao looked a little strange. "It does look a bit like it, but the name is... a bit crude."

"Hey, I can't come up with any erudite names. If you or other customers want, you can come up with any name when you sell it!"

Fang Tong knew that rich people were just like scholars, they were particular about everything they did, and if they changed the name, they could probably sell it for a very high price.

"Come on, try it and you'll know!"

Shopkeeper Zhao tasted a piece and was so surprised by the texture and taste he had never experienced before that he didn't know what to make of it for a moment.

"Novelty! This is truly novel!"

Fang Tong was happy: "Well, there are plenty of good things in this world. Isn't it the novelty of shopping that counts? Of course, ours tastes good too!"

Shopkeeper Zhao tried another cake roll. This time he found something interesting. After all, he was familiar with this cake, and the things rolled inside were also what he had eaten in the towel roll just now.

But these two things have two different tastes, one melts in your mouth, and the other is more like a snack.

The last one, the square copper was cut vertically. He cut off a little with a spoon and began to taste it.

"Hmm? This is... candied fruit?"

Fang Tong clapped his hands. "As expected of Shopkeeper Zhao, you really know how to eat! Yes, there are chopped preserved fruits in between the layers of cake!"

The candied fruits were what he bought from the provincial capital last time, as well as some dried fruits, which were just right for use here.

Shopkeeper Zhao tasted three things in one breath, but still felt a little unsatisfied. It was not because he could eat sweets, but because he liked these three things!

"Brother Fang, tell me the price!"

Fang Tong knew that this person was a connoisseur, but he didn't expect him to ask the price so soon.

He lowered his voice and said, "Cream rolls, seventy cents a pound, towel rolls, sixty-five."

"As for the remaining cream cake, it depends on the size. Today's one is a four-inch one, which costs 120 wen each. The six-inch one is 180 wen, and the eight-inch one is 224 wen."

After he said the price, he observed the other party's expression. In fact, he had no idea about the price when he set it. After all, he had never sold anything at this price before, so he just gritted his teeth and said it.

Shopkeeper Zhao showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Brother, this isn't the first time we've worked together. To be honest, no one in our county has ever seen these things you brought. I took a risk when I placed an order. Take a look..."

After some bargaining, the cream roll was given for sixty-six and the towel roll for sixty.

"This cream cake can't be any cheaper?"

Shopkeeper Zhao was helpless. He felt like he was sweating from bargaining.

"It really won't work," Fang Tonglu thought. "This thing takes a lot of effort. Apart from anything else, you know the price of this preserved fruit better than me!"

Seeing that he really didn't want to lower the price, Manager Zhao didn't force him. He knew in his heart that this cream cake was so big and used so much ingredients, and customers who could afford it wouldn't mind spending a few cents.

After the price was agreed upon, the two signed the contract on the spot.

Shopkeeper Zhao was a cautious person. He only ordered five pounds of cake rolls and towel rolls every day. He was not in a hurry for the cream cakes and asked Fang Tong to send two samples over tomorrow to try.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, what about that extra order you mentioned..."

Fang Tong reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to ask if anyone has considered your new product!"

Shopkeeper Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Look, would it be convenient for you to come back this afternoon?"

Fang Tong thought to himself that there was nothing inconvenient about this. He was going to come to the county town to pick up his child anyway, but he couldn't say that on the surface.

"Okay, let's focus on our business. Everything else will have to wait a bit. Don't worry!"

Shopkeeper Zhao was in a good mood. He thought that although Fang Tong was a farmer in the village, they had been doing business with him for so long, and he was a rare and reliable person. He had no bad habits and was efficient in his work!

The most important thing is that he was still wondering a few days ago, wondering how long this business could last if there was no new thing. Didn’t this new thing come?

After the matter was discussed, Manager Zhao called Cheng Xiaohu to help see the guests off.

He had just been helping to serve tea and heard the two men discussing business. Now, when he saw the expression of their shopkeeper, he knew that the deal was done.

"Brother, you are so awesome!"

Fang Tong winked at him and lowered his voice: "Did Dacheng inform you about the chestnut harvest?"

Cheng Xiaohu nodded: "Got it, brother. I'm already working on it. I promise to make it look beautiful for you!"

After leaving Taotie Tower, Fang Tong went to the teahouse and Juxiang Tower and signed all the orders.

Tiezhu followed the whole process and really admired him from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother, you are amazing, and sister-in-law is amazing too. You are good at everything you do."

None of the new products were wasted. Fang Tong was very happy and felt even happier when he heard the words.

"Haha, right? When you marry a wife in the future, you have to marry a good one!"

Tiezhu scratched his head and said, "It would be nice if I could marry into a good family."

The two chatted and laughed all the way as they drove out of the city and went home to work.

In the afternoon, Fang Tong went to the academy to pick up the children. After picking them up, he went to Taotie Building. He parked the car at the back door and asked the two children to wait in a sheltered place for a while while he went in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Manager Zhao stretching his neck to look out from behind the counter. When he saw him, he quickly came out from behind and greeted him.

The two of them went to the back room before Manager Zhao spoke.

"Yes, the rich man wants seventy pieces of cake, ten pounds each of cream rolls and towel rolls, and eight eight-inch cream cakes!"

Even though Fang Tong had been reminding himself to control himself and not to get startled when doing business outside, he couldn't help but show his joy at this moment.

"so much?!"
