With Liu Bao taking the lead, no one dared to say anything else and they got into the car in an orderly manner.
It was also because of Liu Bao’s explanation that the villagers of the He Mountain Brigade had a better impression of Yu Bing.
Not every family was willing to fork out 20 cents. After all, this bus fare could already buy a few eggs and a few taels of meat. Therefore, everyone squeezed together and took the bus away.
After entering the county city, Yu Bing parked the car in a guarded place and went to the supply company with Jiang Chun.
Yu Bing bought some pork bones, pork belly, red dates, cinnamon, and other dry goods.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw a cake mold. Yu Bing hurriedly asked the staff, “Hello, how much is this cake?”
The salesperson glanced at Yu Bing and replied aloofly, “This cake is a new product introduced by our supply company. It’s 70 cents a piece.”
Jiang Chun couldn’t help but say in surprise, “It’s quite expensive. It’s 20 cents more expensive than what’s sold in our city!”

The manpower, resources, and transportation expenses for the things that the city transports to our small mountain village are all costs.”
Yu Bing bit her lower lip and looked up at the salesperson. “Do many people buy it?”
The salesperson sighed. “10 pieces were stocked. It’s been left there for two days. Everyone who saw it asked. After hearing the price, only three people bought it!”
Yu Bing’s eyes flickered and she smirked. “Give me a piece and a pound of fruit candy.”
The salesperson immediately perked up and grinned. “Alright, I’ll pack it for you now! Finally, the fourth person bought it!”
The salesperson quickly wrapped it in oil paper and handed it to Yu Bing. When she packed the candies, she even gave her a few more.
When the two of them came out of the supply company, they returned with a full load.
After returning home, Yu Bing couldn’t wait to open the bag to taste a piece. She realized that the cake mold was hard and dry. It was too sweet, a little greasy, and the taste of eggs was too overpowering.
Yu Bing walked into the room with the cake. “Chun Chun, try it. What do you think?”
Jiang Chun took a bite and said, “It’s quite delicious, but the fishy taste is a little overpowering.”
When Yu Bing heard this evaluation, she frowned. Could it be that her expectations were too high?
Hence, Yu Bing took the rest to the Xiao family. The three Xiao siblings’ conclusion was similar to Jiang Chun’s. Xiao Lin even felt that the cake was very delicious. Yu Bing could only blame it on the fact that no one had ever eaten a better dessert.
So that night, Yu Bing made a simple version of soufflé.
Xiao Sheng came to the kitchen and saw a piece of cake that looked like what he had eaten in the afternoon in front of Jiang Chun. However, it wasn’t exactly the same. He smiled and sat down. “Is this another new product you made?”
Yu Bing nodded vigorously. “This is called a soufflé. It’s also a dessert from overseas. However, mine is considered a simplified version. Unfortunately, there’s no butter. Otherwise, it would taste even better!”
Under Yu Bing’s expectant gaze, Xiao Sheng and Jiang Chun took a bite together. Their eyes immediately lit up.
Xiao Sheng looked up at Yu Bing and recalled the taste just now. He said, “This cake tastes smooth and delicate.”
Jiang Chun couldn’t wait to express her opinion. “It tastes soft, sweet, and tender! It has a cloud-like texture.”

Xiao Sheng had only eaten his first piece of cake this afternoon. He didn’t understand this at all, so he looked at Jiang Chun.
When Yu Bing made it just now, she specifically didn’t let Jiang Chun be present, but Jiang Chun judged based on her years of experience in the kitchen, “There must be eggs, flour, and sugar in the cake. These should be the most basic ingredients.”
Yu Bing revealed a mysterious smile. “I only used three eggs, a little salt, some sugar, and a little vegetable oil.”
Xiao Sheng and Jiang Chun both revealed shocked expressions.
Xiao Sheng then reacted. “How much did you buy that cake this afternoon for?”
Yu Bing replied, “70 cents, but it’s been on shelf for two days, and only 4 pieces have been sold.”
Seeing this, Jiang Chun immediately said, “Our cost is so low, so we must have the advantage in price.”
Yu Bing smiled and said, “That’s right. Three eggs can make twice the amount of cake I bought today. It’s equivalent to saying that a piece of soufflé only needs 1.5 eggs.”
Xiao Sheng looked at the remaining half of the soufflé and smirked. “I’ll go to the county tomorrow.”
