Chapter 33: No Bargaining
Mrs. Bai didn't get a satisfactory answer and snorted.

"That's right. I guess the wife of that official wouldn't bother to embarrass you."

Sheng Yueqing could hear the contempt in her words, but he was not annoyed.

When doing business, you meet all kinds of people.

People with good tempers will be polite to you, but people with bad tempers won’t say anything nice when buying things from you, and will even say some sarcastic words to you.

She doesn't care what others say, as long as the money is there.

So I brought over some throat lozenges and mints.

"I heard from Mrs. Lu that your throat was not feeling well, so I brought some throat lozenges and mints. Please try them."

Although Mrs. Bai looked down on her as a worker, she saw no need to be hard on her, so she took the throat lozenge and put it in her mouth.

The throat lozenges taste slightly sweet and a little bitter when you first put them in your mouth.

But after a while, when I swallowed it, I felt a slight coolness in my throat, as if the heat in my throat had gone down, and it felt quite comfortable.

She nodded, "Your things are really good."

"I heard your boss is a foreigner?"

Sheng Yueqing smiled and shook her head, "I'm not sure about that. My boss doesn't like people asking him about it, and he doesn't tell us."

Mrs. Bai had no doubts. After all, rich people tend to have strange tempers.

But the things here are really good. I'll just wait for her mother to come over and see if she likes them.

I liked it and ordered it.

If you don't like her, just buy a few boxes yourself.

"Ma'am, the old lady is coming."

When Mrs. Bai heard that her mother was coming, she happily went to greet her.

"Mom, I've finally waited for you."

My parents' family have been busy with the full moon and wedding preparations these days, so I haven't been here for a long time.

Mrs. Lin was well-off and smiled, "I'm busy at home. I heard that you recommended a delicious wedding cake and candy shop, so I was able to take the time to come and see it. Otherwise, I would have ordered it from my in-laws' relatives."

Originally, this kind of business was ordered for one’s own relatives. It didn’t matter whether the food was delicious or not, the main purpose was to do a favor.

But now the taste of wedding candies also needs to be considered. The wedding candies and cakes that Mrs. Wang gave before were very good. I heard that many people praised them. Mrs. Lin didn't want to lose face, so she wanted to buy something more high-end.

As soon as my daughter recommended it, she came.

Mrs. Bai smiled and introduced the wedding cakes and candies on the table to her.

"This is the wedding cake that Mrs. Wang bought last time. It's from the same store."

"Let's buy more flavors this time and let our relatives try them."

Old Madam Lin glanced at the exquisitely presented dishes and criticized them in a haughty and picky tone, "They are just fancy tricks. They are just imitating those foreign things every day. They look good but are not practical."

Sheng Yueqing looked at the foreign watch she was wearing and her reading glasses were also imported.

Even the high heels are foreign.

But he always complains about foreign things.

Sheng Yueqing didn't care about that and made her a cup of ginseng honey tea.

The old lady was surprised to see such a young and beautiful girl, who was also dressed fashionably. She even made tea for her. "Who is this?"

Mrs. Bai introduced casually, "An employee of the wedding cake shop."

When Mrs. Lin heard that he was a worker, she became less enthusiastic.

"Really? An employee of a wedding cake shop dresses so fashionably?"

Sheng Yueqing smiled and replied, "Because we sell high-end goods, they should be good to wear, otherwise it would lower the quality of our products."

That makes sense.

Nowadays, sales clerks in department stores also dress very fashionably, and they will be criticized if they dress too rustically.

Sheng Yueqing dresses fashionably and beautifully, and her products are also good-looking, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye and can naturally accept the high prices.

Old Mrs. Lin took a sip of the ginseng honey tea pickily and wanted to smack her lips in disgust.

But after taking a sip, I felt that it was very soothing to the throat and most importantly, it gave me a boost of energy.

She had a greasy meal in the morning, so drinking a cup now was quite refreshing. "Is this human ginseng and honey?"

She also drinks ginseng regularly, but has never thought of adding honey.

I was also wondering, "Who taught you to brew it this way? Is it okay to drink it this way?"

Sheng Yueqing smiled and explained, "Ginseng honey tea can moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, replenish qi and blood, and is good for the body."

"If you are allergic to ginseng or honey, you can't drink it."

Mrs. Lin has indeed been suffering from a bit of heatiness and constipation recently. When she heard that it could help relieve constipation, she decided to try drinking more.

She looked at the wedding cake again.

The words were full of criticism, "This wedding cake looks ordinary. The wedding cakes of my relatives' families also look like this. There's nothing special about it."

It’s just that because of relatives, it’s difficult to ask others to order without them, but it’s really not tasty.

I tried what Sheng Yueqing brought.

Sheng Yueqing introduced them one by one, "This is salty, fresh meat and ham."

Old Mrs. Lin picked it up with a critical look on her face, and disdained it before she even ate it. "It's just a big meat pie, what's so special about it?"

But when I bit into the layers of puff pastry and ham, I was pleasantly surprised.

"This taste is very special."

She ate a small piece, then forked out a second piece, and ate two pieces in a row, smacking her lips, "Not bad."

Mrs. Bai could see that she liked it.

"Mom, try this rose one, it's also very fragrant."

It is similar to flower cake, but not too sweet and the rose flavor is well preserved.

There are also chestnut flavors and salty bean paste ones, which are loved by the elderly.

Mrs. Lin was very satisfied with the meal.

But he was reluctant to praise her, "Just barely enough, how are you selling these wedding cakes?"

Sheng Yueqing smiled and replied, "Our wholesale price is five yuan per package, and the high-end packaging fee is an additional two yuan and a half, while the ordinary packaging is only fifty cents."

As he spoke, he took out several exquisite packaging boxes and handbags.

The box it’s packed in does look very high-end, and it looks like a pack of just over ten bucks.

Mrs. Lin bargained as usual, "It's just a wedding cake, why does it have to be so expensive?"

Sheng Yueqing continued to smile politely, "They are all of the same price, and there are also two yuan a pack, I just think it matches your noble temperament."

She also specially took out a pack of wedding cakes that cost two yuan each. They were the kind of wedding cakes on the market that were so sweet that they made your teeth ache, the kind that were unpalatable but couldn't be thrown away.

After comparing the good and the bad, Mrs. Lin immediately liked the expensive one.

But he still bargained out of habit. "It's a bargain. It's not worth that much. Three dollars at most."

Sheng Yueqing continued to smile, "We have the same price. There is no bargaining for high-end goods. You have such good taste, no matter how expensive it is, it is worthy of you."

She was such a good talker and she refused to give in on the price. Although Mrs. Lin wanted to buy it, she was very unhappy and felt that she was not getting a good deal.

"You are a girl with no brains. How can you do business like this?"

Mrs. Bai saw that Sheng Yueqing would not lower the price, so she said, "She is just an employee, how can she make the decision?"

"Forget it, seven dollars and a half is seven dollars and a half. Mrs. Wang bought it at this price before. There's no reason for us to be cheaper than her."

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she said, "That's right. Her family can afford the 7.5 yuan one, so we can afford it too. Let's order this one."

But only one hundred copies were ordered.

The other 100 points still need to be ordered from relatives and given as gifts to ordinary relatives.

The good ones will be given to business partners.

As for the wedding candy, Mrs. Lin also tried it. She first ate a throat-soaking gummy and found it quite delicious after chewing it.

"How much is this candy?"

"This is our loquat paste throat lozenge, which has the effect of eliminating phlegm and moistening the throat. A box is five yuan."
