Do you really think that you don’t have to pay for the red wine you drank last night

Today Caroline will have to do the work of two people.

In comparison, Max also paid an extremely "heavy" price for making the cake, and she was at most an innocent victim.

However, the "price" Max paid is actually quite enviable! Ghost. Caroline regretted for a moment that her cake-making skills remained at the basic level.

But thinking that someone's goal had never changed last night, she could only sigh.

What's the point of being able to bake a cake? It all depends on your appearance! The handsome guy obviously liked Max's style more than Chris, and it had nothing to do with whether she could bake a cake or not.

She got off the subway carrying a box of cakes and walked to the fast food restaurant. She pushed the door open and was shocked: "Are these refugees fleeing famine? Why are there so many people?"

Old Earl raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her: "Wow, we have a busy day today."

Caroline walked to the cashier and asked casually, "What's going on? They look like they are starving to death."

Old Earl chuckled: "You don't know? Yesterday's explosion broke several water mains seven blocks away, and the electrical circuits were also affected. Now there's a large area over there where families can't cook dinner. Fast food restaurants are also affected and can't supply much food. Many people can only come here to find food."

Caroline's face was filled with despair: "No way? I'm going to die."

Old Earl was surprised: "Are you pregnant?"

(* ̄︿ ̄)Caroline: "You should ask Max about this, because she is taking a half-day off today."

Originally she just wanted to ask for leave, but seeing the hungry customers in the store, she felt uneasy and worked an extra half day.

If you leave her alone all night, she will really die.

Old Earl was very calm: "Don't worry, you can't be busy tonight. Oleg went to the hospital. I heard that the doctor said he had a concussion and asked for leave."

When Caroline heard this, she was overjoyed: "If there is no chef, then I don't have to deliver meals."

Old Earl chuckled: "No, Han is in the kitchen. He looks very energetic and said he will be the chef for the evening."

Caroline was shocked: "No one is going to die, is he?"

Old Earl rolled his eyes and said, "What Oleg makes won't kill you, so how bad can Han's be?"

Caroline thought about it and stopped being anxious. She changed into her work clothes and put her cupcakes on the shelf.

As a result, after placing a few cakes on the tray under the transparent cover, several people nearby asked: "Waiter, how much are the cakes?"

Caroline: "Five bucks each, special price!"

She suddenly remembered what old Earl had said about the burst water pipe and twisted "a dollar and a half" into "one dollar and a half."

Several customers immediately felt a little pain in their wallets. One of them was obviously a regular customer: "Last time I came, wasn't it only 1.5 yuan?"

Caroline's smile froze, and she quietly moved a step, standing from the side of the cake plate to the front.

As she faced the customers, she reached behind her back and found the price tag that read "Cupcakes: $1.50" and pinched it.

She then explained with a smile on her face, "This is a new product that we asked a professional pastry chef to try out. It originally cost seven dollars, but now it's on sale for only five dollars. The quantity is limited, and it's sold out while stocks last."

The customer who had been here before couldn't help but talk about it, but the other few people had never been here.

Besides, they had already visited several stores before coming here, and all of them needed to wait.

Laziness is human nature.

Even among hardworking Chinese, more and more young people would rather order takeout than cook at home, let alone in places like the United States.

Many people are so hungry that they have no interest in running further, as that would mean spending more time getting there and more time returning home.

So, even before Chef Han started selling much, Caroline's cupcakes were already selling like hot cakes.

She, who goes by the name "Qian Ning", has a unique "addiction" to money by nature.

Her father cheated a lot of wealthy people in New York, so she was naturally very skilled at small things like raising prices and picking up passengers.

Besides, she was the woman who dared to sell Max's cake for seven dollars on her first day at work in the restaurant and pocketed the five dollars and fifty cents difference.

Now, cupcakes are a joint business between Max and her, so she certainly has the right to raise the price temporarily.

Anyway, she also said that these five-dollar cakes are “special offers” from a professional pastry chef and will be sold out while supplies last.

Didn't Chris boast that he had eighteen different ways to bake cakes, and that he was very professional? This was indeed what he and Max made together.

Caroline was telling the truth and wasn't lying at all.

I have to say that she seized the opportunity well. The fifty cakes she brought were sold out in less than half an hour.

In comparison, Han, the makeshift chef, made less than one-fifth of the cake.

Caroline was so surprised that she could only call Max, who was sleeping at home, to wake her up and ask her to bring the large pile of leftover cakes over immediately.

Normally fifty cakes are enough to sell for two days, who knew business would be so good today.

I really hope that the burst pipe will last a few more days. This is what a certain unscrupulous female cake vendor prayed.

When Max came over dragging several boxes of cakes like an old ox, Caroline was overjoyed.

Max was originally complaining that he was still having back pain and leg cramps, but when he heard that the "special cake" that cost five dollars a piece was in short supply, he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open: "What?"

Caroline could only pull her into the storage room, tell her the excuse for raising the price just now, and explain why the five-yuan cake sold better than the one-yuan.5 yuan one before.

Max's back pain disappeared: "I'm not tired of doing this kind of free money."

The cake is sold for RMB 1.5 and RMB 5, the price has more than tripled, but the profit is five or six times.

The two women who are short of money must not let go of this windfall.

In fact, Max only brought half of the remaining cake because he made too much last night.

Even if Caroline told her to bring all of them, she couldn't carry seven or eight boxes of cakes onto the subway like she was moving house, even though there were fewer people on the subway today.

This task could only be completed by Caroline, while Max was happily selling cakes and counting money in the store.

In her words, it’s not easy to get tired when seeing small amounts of money, but it’s very tiring to move cakes.

By ten o'clock in the evening, all the cupcakes were sold out and the fast food restaurant was almost empty.

The two women were exhausted, but they were very happy.

Now that they had nothing to do, no customers, and had made a "big sum of money", the two women simply sat down next to the cash register and started swiping their phones.

This is also thanks to Titanium Mobile Phone Company's dominance in the high-end market, which allowed several other large mobile phone companies to make breakthroughs in mid- and low-end smartphones, so that they would have the opportunity to counterattack and become the king in the future.

You can buy a second-hand low-end smartphone for just $100.

Of course, how nearly new “second-hand” items come from has never been a problem in the United States.
