Trading Market (Part One)

"Two grandpas..." Damu, the honest and simple-minded bakery manager, walked out of the bakery with a wry smile. "We've used up all the flour. We need to restock..."

"Uh..." Gou Dan, whose mouth was still covered in cream, froze when he heard that. "Then go buy some..."

Hans's lips twitched. "Where are we supposed to buy it?"

Only then did Gou Dan realize that according to the rules, when the baker had been redeemed, the bakery had been redeemed along with him—but the store selling flour and other raw materials was not included...

So he complained, "Your store is so big. How come you have so little in reserve?"

Damu scratched his head awkwardly. "To guarantee the taste, my store uses freshly harvested wheat, which is roasted and ground on the spot. I usually don't stock as much as other bakeries, but it's actually not that little. What you just ate was about the amount this store sells in a month..."

"You only sell that much in a month?" Gou Dan wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth. "Your business isn't doing very well..."

Damu glanced at the plates on the table, which were nearly as tall as a small mountain, and his lips twitched slightly. He said nothing.

Seeing this, Gou Dan looked at Hans across from him. "You glutton, you ate so much, and the manager hasn't even had anything to eat!"

Hans: "..."

You've got some nerve. I haven't even eaten a tenth as much as you, all right?

"It's fine, it's fine..." Damu waved his hands with a smile. "I'm not hungry yet..."

"Oh, is that how it is..." Li Gou Dan nodded, then abruptly grabbed a plate of strawberry sundae beside Hans. The corner of Hans's eye twitched...

*The craftsmanship really is excellent.
