She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Shopkeeper He savored the astonishing taste he had just experienced, nodding his head, "It’s suitable. Not to mention the cost of the cake, the scarcity of the cream and its unique, sweet fragrance alone are worth these Silver pieces."

Nanny Jin clapped her hands together, "That’s good to hear. When Ye Zi set this price, my old man and I were worried that the patrons might find it too steep and refuse to buy. If Shopkeeper He also thinks it’s good, then it’s nearly a sure thing, and I can finally let go of the worry that’s hung over me all morning."

Shopkeeper He nodded, saying, "Nanny Jin can rest assured. With such rich and delectable pastries, once the patrons have a taste, they won’t be able to resist indulging in a full serving. You should start preparing now, for if in a little while all the patrons order this dessert, it will be too late to bake more."

It was then that Nanny Jin remembered she had not finished speaking.

She quickly added, "Shopkeeper He, I haven’t finished what I was saying. Cream is hard to come by, and we can only get so much, so today there is only this much available. If you want more, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow, and even then, there won’t be much—only enough for two or three cakes of this size, definitely no more."

"..." Shopkeeper He looked at the fragrant and tempting cake, oozing with the rich scent of cow’s milk, then back at Nanny Jin, finding himself in a difficult position. This isn’t fair, is it, to get one’s hopes up like this?

Without any more of the actual product to supply, just giving people a taste of the flavor, isn’t that just deliberately whetting their appetite? If it were some ordinary food, it might not matter, but this is top-notch delicacy we’re talking about. To just offer a taste and then nothing? Isn’t that the end of it?

Nanny Jin, you must be joking with this, are you trying to kill me?

Seeing the troubled look on Shopkeeper He’s face that he couldn’t quite express, Nanny Jin chuckled awkwardly, "We really have no choice. Ye Zi said the cream used to make the cake is very delicate and spoils easily, so it really can’t be kept for long. If it weren’t so, we would have saved it for a couple of days before introducing the dessert."

"Well," with no other choice, Shopkeeper He remarked to himself, "Then let it be. To have the privilege of tasting such a delicious dessert first, the patrons should consider themselves lucky."
