Wu Ya only planned to save five taels of silver, while the rest of the silver would go to Manager Wu to exchange for his daily convenience.

Manager Wu opened the door for business and distributed quite a bit of money to the north and south. He complied with Wu Ya's request and gave five taels of silver, five yuan, and two hundred taels of silver.

After settling the bill, Manager Wu realized that Wu Ya had already casually asked about the progress of the pastry, so he had intended to find Wu Ya to talk about it first before inviting Qin Wuya to the private room where they had previously talked about it. Then, he had the shop assistant deliver the finished mold to him.

"This was done in accordance with the way you painted it last time. It's carved with the pattern of the current generation of Flowing Cloud Flower.

The words' Purple Drunken 'are written in the middle of the pattern, it was written for me by Liu Xiusheng at the street corner. The names were also written for me by him, I think that it's not bad, Qin Yatou, what do you think? "

"The word 'Purple Drunk' is used very well. It has an intoxicating purple aura. If a person has never tasted it before, he would not know the meaning behind it. A person who has tasted it would not forget such a name." Qin Wuya couldn't help but praise him.

"That's right." Manager Wu also laughed along: "Look at this name, perhaps it doesn't have any brilliance, but when paired with our cake's taste and special taste, it has a unique charm.

Since the little girl thinks it's good, this name is decided. However, does this pattern look appropriate to you? "

"I think it's pretty good, but I wonder how the finished product will look like, has Manager Wu ever tried doing it before?"

Ancient craftsmen's skills could not be compared with modern machines that lived in large batches. Qin Wuya looked at the grindstone and felt that this craftsman's skills were exquisite and exquisite, it was likely that there would not be much of a problem for him to make the pastries.

"It was just a coincidence that you rushed it. Your sister-in-law brought a box over this morning. Actually, I had wanted to start selling it a few days ago, but I didn't let you see it. I don't have any confidence in myself, if you don't come today, I would want to find you.

Very soon, the serving staff brought out a whole box of pastries, which was different from the previous one. This time, it was a small, exquisite wooden box, about three inches wide, five inches long, and an inch thick.

The carvings on the lid and the box were similar to the flower patterns on the cloud in the mold, and in the middle of the lid were the words' Purple Drunk '.

The only difference was that at the bottom right side of the lid, there was a row of small words: 'Guest Home Resturant'.

Before he had even seen the pastries inside, Qin Wuya, who was extremely attentive to the wooden box, could not help but look up to Manager Wu.

Although she had warned Manager Wu before that he would need to create a brand effect from the packaging, in order to prevent Manager Wu from looking suspicious, she merely followed up on Cloud Jade Workshop's typical case by flipping through it, not going into detail.

It was a good thing that Manager Wu was a smart businessman, he only needed to think twice to know the opposite of what was being said. Not only did he exchange the ordinary oily paper he was originally considering for exquisite wooden boxes, he even carved on top of the wooden boxes the words' Guest Home Resturant ', in addition to the name of the cake' Zi Zu '.

This could not only make the cake famous, but also make the Guest Home Resturant who made the cake famous. It would kill two birds with one stone.

"Shopkeeper, you're going to have to spend a lot of resources this time." Qin Wuya laughed and pointed to the exquisite box of pastries: "I'm afraid that the number of people in this box is not little."

"That's right, I specially went to the county to invite the reputable craftsman Master Yao to do this. It was all thanks to me being a little pretentious with him. He didn't charge me any extra money for my trade, but the fee of making this craftsman was 60 gold coins." Speaking of which, the Manager Wu also felt his heart ache.

"Sixty big coins?" Qin Wuya said with a slight change in her tone, "This box alone costs sixty gold coins, and adding in the fruit paste and sugar. "Shopkeeper, according to the original price that you set, it's about the loss of money."

"Of course not." The Manager Wu smiled as he opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing a six piece of cake that was meticulously wrapped by Peach Blossom Paper.

"Take a look at this. What do you think?"

"It's extremely exquisite and beautiful." Qin Wuya clicked her tongue in wonder: "Why is it that this Peach Blossom Paper looks a little different from normal people?"

As Qin Wuya said this, she carefully took out one piece and placed it on his palm to examine it carefully. She saw that the palm was wrapped in a light pink, translucent Peach Blossom Paper s that were engraved with complex and rich patterns, making it look slightly hazy, like a beautiful woman's fan half covering her face.

"This was what your sister-in-law thought of. Although ordinary Peach Blossom Paper s are transparent, they are just plain beige in colour. Your sister-in-law found the sweet vermilion that was used to make the Life Bag in the kitchen and mixed it with the sauce used to make the Peach Blossom Paper.

The Sweet 'n' Sour Powder was originally a captivating red color, but when it was poured into the Peach Blossom Paper s milk, it revealed a rare light pink color. I saw that it had fused with the Peach Blossom's Will and let your sister-in-law make a fool of herself. "

"How can that be nonsense? Sister-in-law has done the best."

Qin Wuya could not help but praise it: "Looking at its current appearance, compared to how it was before, it's like the sky and the earth. Not mentioning the others, even I from the Cloud Jade Workshop would not be able to take out anything more outstanding than this' Zi Zou '. "

"That's it!"

Manager Wu could not help but laugh proudly: "I had always thought that my own family's reputation was not as high as Cloud Jade Workshop's, and always thought that the price of this' Purple Drunk Cake 'would be much lower than that of' Jade Cloud Cake '.

It was what you said to me that day that made me realize. My 'Purple Drunk Cake' isn't much better than 'Jade Cloud Cake'. If I were to say that the only thing that's slightly worse is the problems of those shops, I only need to make up for it. I think I can sell it for a good price.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that if I really wanted to do it well, I might as well do one of them. Be it in terms of taste, appearance, or price, it didn't matter.

Cloud Jade Workshop's' Emerald Cloud Cake 'sells for five silver coins per pack, a total of three pieces per packet. My' Purple Drunk Cake 'sells for one silver coin per box, which is split into six pieces. Just the price is already higher than Cloud Jade Workshop's by three taels of silver. "

F * ck me! Manager Wu was planning to turn the Purple Drunk Cake into a luxury item for snacks!

Qin Wuya could not help but click her tongue. She did ask the Manager Wu to raise the price of the 'Purple Drunk Cake' from the level of normal pastries out of the blue, but she didn't expect the Manager Wu to simply jump all over the place.

Half a month ago, it was nothing more than two taels of silver for a pack of ordinary goods, but after half a month, it had actually become a box of luxury goods worth one or two taels of silver.

Even so, Qin Wuya couldn't help but want to give Manager Wu a 'Like'.

However, gnashing his teeth and spending an extra sixty coins on this wooden box made the Purple Drunk Cake even more valuable. Now, with the unique look of the 'Purple Drunk Cake', if you were to say that it was not a luxury item, others would probably not agree to it.

Whose cake dares to be wrapped in a finely carved wooden box? Whose pastries can be so fine that the patterns on each piece can be made generally elaborate. Who else would be able to make a cake with the only serving of Western purple fruit s sauce that he himself had personally made?

Just based on these 'Purple Drunk Cake', buying this price was not an exaggeration. Qin Wuya could not help but laugh slyly as she thought about it: "When it comes to shopkeeper's' Purple Drunk Cake ', how could it be inferior to Cloud Jade Workshop's' Emerald Cloud Cake '? It's nothing more than in terms of reputation.

But now, the shopkeeper wants to sell the Purple Drunk Cake for a sky-high price of one to two to three taels of silver. I am afraid if this news were to spread, it would be enough to stir up a thousand ripples in Clear Water Town. "Who knows, even the wealthiest families in the county might come looking for rumors in the next few days."

Manager Wu smiled but did not say a word, but the look in his eyes clearly showed that he agreed with Qin Wuya's words. Sometimes, unexpectedly expensive is actually a good way to peddle.

Qin Wuya no longer wanted to make a fool of herself with the silver on hand. After exiting the Guest Home Resturant, he followed the address given to him by the Manager Wu and went to the outskirts of the Wu Village.

This village seemed to be the Manager Wu's own home. However, the Manager Wu had already entered the town after walking for three generations, so they were not very familiar with the village.

However, the address that the Manager Wu gave Qin Wuya was a famous carpenter in the Wu Family Village. Although Master Mu was young, he was still a teacher in the county. He was Master Yao's favorite student.

Manager Wu and Master Yao had some connections, things like making wooden boxes for 'Zi Zui' naturally had to be entrusted to Master Yao in the county, but if it was any ordinary household items, they would all be given to Young Master Wu to take care of.

Qin Wuya found a place to go and introduced herself as the Manager Wu, then Master Wu became very enthusiastic, obviously her relationship with the Manager Wu was not bad.

There was nothing in the house that Qin Wuya lived in, even the places where she slept on were just pads and slabs, the summer was still better, but when it came to autumn, it would definitely be chilly to the bone, so Qin Wuya did not dare be careless, and painfully decided on a bed with eight steps of carved flowers.

Qin Wuya did not have much money, and could only ask Young Master Wu to make it simpler. It did not need to be rich and complicated, and only wanted to be simple, generous and sturdy.

Young Master Wu, who was also from a poor family, naturally understood this logic, and did not lower himself to look down on Qin Wuya. Instead, he found some relatively sturdy wood that could not be considered expensive, and only cost half of his money.

Seeing that Young Master Wu was such a nice person, Qin Wuya asked for a big cabinet for clothes and a small cabinet for items. He also asked for a square table and a few stools. There weren't many things, but it would take at least three to five days to complete the task. Adding to the fact that the eight step bed and the clothing cabinet were all large items of wood that required money, spent a total of around three to six silver coins. This was the reason why Young Master Wu gave Qin Wuya so much money.

Actually, finding two village craftsmen to build a kang was a lot less expensive than buying a wooden bed. Furthermore, using firewood or charcoal to heat up the kang made the whole house warmer and more comfortable than a wooden bed.

However, Wuya didn't live in his own house, and the plain white soil didn't suit him. His wooden bed was a bit lighter, so it would be easier for him to move later on. Furthermore, living in a town was not as casual as living in a village. There were very few families in a town who could build a brick bed, so he might as well follow the customs of the land.
