Chapter 8: Cake

About half an hour after he returned, he fell asleep without realizing it, Master didn't even bother to wake him up, he walked into the kitchen to heat up the food and set it up on the table. In this country, there are many delicious dishes, but a few days ago, I went to many places to enjoy many strange dishes, today I had the opportunity to taste the food below the hotel where they stayed.
As soon as I opened the box to put it in the microwave, I smelled the delicious smell of the famous steamed fish here. Aber was sleeping but his nose noticed a strange smell slowly opened his eyes and went out, without waiting for him to come in, he stood leaning against the kitchen door looking at the person in front of him who was still pouring the food on the plate.
Seeing that he was still paying attention to the dish without realizing his presence, Aber was a little annoyed." What did you buy?
"I bought something simple, a steamed fish dish with steamed rice, two beef hamburgers, a cream tea with a sandwich." While saying that, the Master put the food on the table, and the cake he delicately arranged in a separate place.
Hearing what he just said, he curiously flipped it over to see the cake that was left nearby." Is this the sandwich you said?"
"Uhm, looks a bit strange. I heard from the staff below that it was delicious called Cornish pasty, they said it was one of their traditional sandwiches." Master also came over to see. The cake he just bought on the paper has the names of many ingredients, which are beef, onions, radishes and vegetables, all wrapped in a dough that is neither too thin nor too thick to bake. The surface of the cake seems to have been brushed with a few eggs that are both golden and a little glossy.
"Or should I eat this first, then eat the rice later?" Aber looked at him with expectant eyes, knowing for sure that the person in front of him couldn't refuse. Seeing him smile and nod and then go to take the knife and plate for him in his heart, he warmly smiled back at him.
Another day passed in peace for two people who had just returned to the same house, still happy, still happy, but no one dared to speak their mind.
"Hurry up." Aber saw the person next to him slipping further and further behind, so he stopped to remind him. You and him are entering the airport but he walks slowly, he is the one who wants to leave early in the morning but walks so slowly, Aber is angry but doesn't want to say it, his steps slow down, he holds his hand and pulls him along. By the time he got on the plane, he was also tired. After dinner, he ate cake so full that Aber couldn't sleep. Less than thirty minutes after the plane took off, he fell asleep. Master saw this and didn't dare to call, so he leaned on his shoulder to relieve fatigue, then he suddenly blinked a little.
The William and Lane family's company is still operating, but she quickly wrote more provisions in the new contract to make the company she is managing even more profitable. Mr. William in this week has given Lane full management rights, from the company to the chain of stores he is most interested in, without hesitating to take risks.
"Can I go to Ms. Lane's company next week to work, Dad?" Athea was watching TV when she saw her father entering the house and asked for advice, seeing that her father was still walking without answering she added.
"I graduated from a university with a year of experience, fluent in English!" Athena shouted.
"Go ask him, I don't want his opinion on this." Was about to open his mouth to refuse but forgot about Athea's college degree, being fluent in the language might not help Lane, so he left this to Lane to decide not to comment. Currently, he just needs to sit at home and watch his daughter run the business, so he feels very comfortable and doesn't need to think about ways to increase revenue.
"If you agree, I'll go to work next week." After that, she also turned off the TV and went up to her room to find Ms. Lane to ask.
As soon as he reached the room, knocking on the door was interrupted by Lane's voice. Lane seems to be still very busy with other things, she can't even eat and drink, let alone meet and sit down to talk.
"If there is something wrong, please come to me, I am currently reloading a new project, it will probably be completed by early afternoon. Please help me understand." Voices were heard from inside, but people were still inside and didn't step out, and from the outside, Lane's typing sound could be heard clearly. Athea replied to her sister and then went back to her room, rummaging through the certificates to have something to prove to what she said. Lane is not sure about her previous study abroad so she might not believe it.
If you can master the English language, you'll be fine, but I'm afraid that Lane will consider it a national, so I don't want to accept this younger sister. When she was a student, Athea practiced in many places. Every place said that she had a talent for languages, suitable for diplomacy and communication with foreign guests. From the first year until graduation, that was always considered her strong point and exploited deeply.
....
Master and Aber had just left the airport and rushed straight to the company, asking people at the company to bring all their belongings to their own homes. The important thing now is not where the furniture is placed, but how the work is done at the other store, competitive products are discounted, but our products can't be reduced further, so it turns into a difficult chain. towel for two people.
"This is the most recent information on this case, please take a look." The company employee brought the document he had just printed in the morning and put it on Master's desk. She was extremely urgent as if she wanted to say something, he was also a bit worried because they were all capable employees who tried to stick with the company for such a long time, now they want to win, they will inevitably be disadvantaged.
Master took the document to read for a while and then gave it to Aber, he really couldn't think of a solution to this problem. Although in the past he was in charge of all the errands of the store, but never encountered a problem like this, only heard about a year or two ago now the person who encountered it was his chain of stores. The family really made the Master momentarily confused and didn't know how to solve it. The employee noticed that Master's face was not good and quickly walked out and closed the door. Aber saw that the person in front of him was still silent and said nothing, so he spoke up.
"Or do you think this way, right now we're in the business of selling Starler cakes and they're copying them. I think we should put on the market a new type of cake to distract customers, a new kind of cake with a higher price than the old one." Aber said, noticing the look on his face, see It had changed a lot before he continued.
"And of course if a lot of people like the new cake we will lower the price of Starler, use the profits from the new cake to fill it with Starler."
"So the new type of cake you mentioned must be one that has never been on the market and must meet both nutritional needs and price." Master replied.
I don't know where the cake Aber mentioned comes from, if the price is high, the first thing must be whether the cake is delicious, then its nutrition, it is impossible to ignore the price but the price is above God.
"Let me do it this time."
Master looked at him with wide eyes, he really couldn't believe it so he asked again, "You know what to do."
"You're looking down on me, wait until everything settles down I'll cook delicious food for you every day." Aber smiled slightly, actually when he had learned to cook before, to put it bluntly, he learned to cook because of an asshole. Always talk about the future, no matter what, I will still love you like at first, later if I am so poor that I have nothing to fill my stomach, the last handful of rice will still be for you. Just like what he said, has he ever eaten the rice you cooked? The last handful of rice he eats.
Seeing that the person in front of him loves him endlessly like this, Aber hates himself for deceiving the other's feelings, planting hope and then extinguishing it later. "Is there a kitchen here?" You asked him.
"No, if you want to start working now, we can leave the main store. It's full of ingredients." Master took the file from the desk drawer and stood up.
"Um, that's it." Aber also stood up to follow him, one after another making the staff standing outside excited.
The Kane family's chain of stores consists of twelve large and small branches, one of which is open in the city center. Kane carefully decorated in a modern direction, at first glance no one thought it was a shop. Above there is a large billboard with led lights, at night when walking, many tourists find it strange and beautiful.
His staff is always fluent in two or three languages to easily receive foreign customers.
As soon as he arrived at the main branch, Master said that Aber was surprised, thinking that the store was only as small as before, but this place is not much different from a small theater. Much bigger than he thought, excluding the interior, the price to own a large piece of land in the center of this city is not cheap.
Following the Master into the store to greet the staff and then go straight to the kitchen to create a new cake, this feeling for Aber is really more interesting than when teasing the other two sisters. The master told the kitchen staff that he had a day off and told them to leave before turning to Aber, the anticipation still in his eyes.
"I'm going to see if there's any shortage of ingredients, I'll ask someone to buy them." Master sat down on a nearby chair and asked.
Aber nodded and didn't answer, just slowly walked over to the cupboard and the ingredient table to see if he needed anything else. Previously, he had cherished a recipe for his own cake that he wanted to make the other person eat, but in the end he was killed by the other person, there was still a pain in his heart but the recipe he had worked so hard to write couldn't. let it slip into oblivion. This recipe Aber has tried many times with satisfactory results, so this time he dared to bring it to Master to see.
"Looks like there's no pastry flour." Aber rummaged around for a moment before speaking.
"You're going to make pies using that flour.?" Master was curious because the dough he mentioned was only suitable for baking because it would harden when stuffed or steamed.
"Uhm, I was going to make a scone but I'm missing it. The nut chocolate is there, the butter is there but it won't work without it." Aber was moody, seeing that Master couldn't wait long, he went out and instructed the staff to go to a nearby store to buy it, not forgetting to buy some more chocolate because he saw that the one he picked up earlier was a bit little.
"I'll wait a little longer." He looked at you.
"Yes, you just sit there, I'll go out for a while. This store is quite nice, I want to go take a look." Aber opened the door and walked out of the kitchen, seeing there was a second floor, so he went up to take a look.
