After untying the bow on the packaging and opening the box, Lilith exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

The cake in front of me is only 5 inches in size, and its surface is evenly covered with a few evenly cut red strawberries, as well as a few cherries, crystal fruits (similar to grapes) and other fruits.

Below the fruit layer is the cream layer, and below that is the cake layer and cheese layer. The bottom and surrounding layers are wrapped with a harder chocolate layer.

There are 5 floors in total.

Small and exquisite, eye-catching.

The unique aroma of creamy fruit also makes your nose flutter and your mouth overflows.

"Is this...cake clean? Can it be eaten?"

Lilith asked, swallowing softly without noticing.

"It's edible. It's absolutely very clean. Miss Lilith, here's the spoon."

Zhou Ming smiled and said, nobles are picky and will not eat those Sanwu products that come from unknown sources. They have strict requirements on hygiene standards, so Zhou Ming also took out two silver spoons wrapped in oil paper bags, which were as shiny as New and spotless.

After taking the spoon, Lilith did not start eating immediately. Instead, she handed a spoon to Beatrice who was swallowing saliva beside her and said, "Beatrice, please help me taste this cake."

Beatrice was short and fat, and her biggest hobby was eating. It was a perfect choice to give her this tasting task.

"Okay, Sister Lilith!"

Beatrice quickly took the spoon and couldn't wait to dig into the cake that was like a work of art.

The beauty of the cake is immediately ruined.

Lilith frowned.

Beatrice opened her mouth and put the spoon full of cake into her mouth. The strong phenolic aroma suddenly exploded in her mouth.

The freshness of fruits.

The smoothness of the cream.

The sweetness of chocolate.

It explodes in the mouth instantly.

An extremely happy smile appeared on Beatrice's face.

"How is it, Beatrice, how does it taste?" Lilith asked at the side.

Beatrice didn't answer, but picked up the spoon and took another scoop on the cake.

With this spoonful, she tasted the sweetness and thickness of the cheese, and the happiness on her face almost turned into dazzling holy light.

"Beatrice, is it delicious?" Lilith asked again anxiously.

As if Beatrice didn't hear it, she dug the spoon into the cake again.

"You foodie, I won't let you eat!"

Lilith reacted, snatched the cake from Zhou Ming's hand, took half a spoonful of it with a spoon, and tasted it herself.

"This...this smell?"

The expression on Lilith's face was even more exaggerated than Beatrice's just now.

A voice in my heart: delicious, so delicious!

"Sister Lilith, give me another bite!"

Beatrice's face was full of anxiety, where is my cake? I want to eat cake too!

"No, Leylin gave this to me."

"Give me another bite~"

Beatrice circled around Lilith.

"No, there aren't many bites to begin with."

The 5-inch cake is as big as the palm of your hand, and a girl can eat it all.

"Give me one last bite!"

Beatrice was so anxious that she almost jumped up.

Lilith still refused to give it to her, but instead gave up her ladylike manner and speeded up her eating.

Finally, when the cake box became empty, Beatrice, who had only eaten two bites in total, sat on the ground and cried. Sister Lilith was so bad that she wouldn't even eat the cake!

Zhou Ming, who was standing aside, looked at this scene with some amusement. After Lilith finished eating the cake, he walked up to the satisfied Lilith and asked:

"How about Miss Lilith, if you open a cake shop in the royal capital, do you think anyone will buy it?"

"Yes, of course I will, there must be many people willing to buy it!" Lilith said with a little cream in the corner of her mouth.

"So opening a cake shop...are you willing to cooperate with me?" Zhou Ming asked.

"I do! I do!"

Beatrice jumped up and walked to Zhou Ming and said: "Lei Lin, as long as I can eat cake every day from now on, I will cooperate with you. How many gold coins do you want, just ask!"

The family behind Beatrice is a merchant family that deals in all kinds of food. There are at least hundreds of food and catering-related shops in the royal capital, and they are very wealthy.

"Well……"

Looking at the angry Beatrice, Zhou Ming guessed that the damage Lilith had just caused her was not small.

"Miss Lilith, classmate Beatrice said she also wants to join. Is this okay?"

Zhou Ming asked Lilith that in front of the Rudolf family behind Lilith, Beatrice's family was nothing. Zhou Ming had no say whether he agreed to join Beatrice or not.

"Okay, let the three of us work together."

Perhaps out of guilt, Lilith nodded in agreement.

After several days of discussion and planning, the three of them determined the revenue sharing ratio.

Beatrice provided a shop to Zhou Ming and found one close to the school as a cake shop. After the cake shop opened, Beatrice would get 30% of all profits, plus a cake for her every day.

Lilith contributed funds and took out 5,000 gold coins as the starting capital for the operation of the cake shop to solve some resistance and troubles. After the business opened, Lilith received 40% of all profits.

Zhou Ming provided the technology and was responsible for the operation of the store and the training of cake chefs. After the business opened, Zhou Ming received 30% of all profits.

In fact, in terms of dividends, Lilith asked for 30% and Zhou Ming got 40%... After all, without his skills, the cake shop would not have been able to open.

But Zhou Ming still insists that Lilith takes the big share. Even if the 10% profit cannot be ignored, it will be "dominant" and "minor", which will cause different psychological effects.

If Zhou Ming takes the lead and gets the lion's share of the profits, he will have to be at the front when trouble comes and deal with all forces, which will definitely distract him.

If Lilith is dominant, her mentality will change from "participant" to "cake shop owner", and she will naturally become more concerned. If she encounters trouble, she will solve it by herself without Zhou Ming's request.

All parties, no matter how jealous they are, would not dare to offend the Rudolph family.

After the share distribution is determined.

Beatrice also bought a store from her family that was not in good condition... near the school.

This store happens to be not far from where Zhou Ming lives.

So he hired a few workers to renovate the store.

Then he went to the blacksmith shop, took out several sets of design drawings, and customized a batch of tools such as ovens, hand-cranked egg beaters, juicers, and dough mixers. He also used soft sheepskin water bags to make a batch of tools. The container for batching cream has a small mouth, and its main purpose is to spray a better-looking pattern on the cake.

Then contact two fruit shops and sign a contract, requiring the other party to supply the freshest fruit at a price higher than the market price.

Ingredients such as eggs, cream, cheese, cocoa nuts (raw materials for making chocolate), wheat flour, etc. also have very high quality requirements.

The consequence of this is naturally that the production cost of the cake will certainly not be very low.

However, the cake Zhou Ming made was not originally a product sold to the poor... Of course, only nobles could afford such a high-end cake.

20 days later.

Magic cake shop.

Announcing the official opening!

On the opening day, almost all the female students in the class, including the two shareholders Lilith and Beatrice, were present.

The back kitchen of the cake shop was crowded with all dressed-up female classmates.

"Leylin, why is your cake shop called the 'Magic Cake Shop'? Did you put some magic in the cake?"

Female classmate Betty asked. She thought the name was a bit weird.

"Yes, the cake Leylin made is so delicious, it's like there's magic in it!"

Beatrice stood up and said that she had eaten at least ten cakes made by Zhou Ming in the past few days and gained three or four pounds.

"I know Leylin makes delicious cakes, but the name of this shop is too weird. What does it have to do with magic? Why not call it 'Lilith Cake Shop'?"

Betty still doesn't like the name of the store.

"The cakes I make do have something to do with magic. The cakes I made before were all made with magic."

Standing in front of the cabinet-style kitchen counter, Zhou Ming had to explain.

In fact, whether he was making the cake for Lilith to taste or the cake that was later eaten as a snack for Beatrice, Zhou Ming used magic.

After all, he had no tools except a simple oven.

For example, there are no egg beaters, juicers, dough mixers and other machines, so it is logically impossible to make cakes.

However, the magical magic temporarily solved Zhou Ming's problem.

For example, when beating eggs, if there is no egg beater, he can release a small "whirlwind" magic to make the egg liquid rotate at high speed, and finally achieve the effect of beating the egg liquid into fine foam.

It's just that this process requires high precision operation capabilities.

If you are not careful, you may not beat the egg mixture properly and it will spill everywhere, so don’t be distracted at all.

The same goes for the process of using magic juice and mixing noodles.

"Using magic to beat eggs and extract juice...how is this possible?"

Betty shook her head. First of all, she couldn't imagine this scene, and she hadn't heard of anyone doing it before, let alone doing it successfully.

"Let me show you how to do it."

Zhou Ming didn't say much, just smiled slightly, then took out two eggs, cracked them into a bowl, and then stretched out his right hand.

After muttering a few words in his mouth, a breeze blew up. After a while, a cone-shaped vortex appeared on his right palm, spinning continuously and getting faster and faster.

After the vortex stabilized, Zhou Ming picked up the bowl containing the eggs with his left hand and poured the egg liquid down.

The female classmates stepped back one after another, fearing that the egg liquid would splash on their gorgeous dresses.

However, their worries were unnecessary. After the egg liquid entered the vortex, it did not splash out. Instead, it rotated at high speed with the vortex, quickly mixed and bubbled.

In less than two minutes, the egg liquid was mixed. Zhou Ming removed his palm, controlled a small hole at the bottom of the vortex, and then reduced the intensity of the vortex.

The beaten egg liquid flows along the small hole into the container prepared by Zhou Ming.

During the whole process, not a trace of egg liquid was spilled.

"Isn't this... this too powerful?"

The female classmates were all surprised. They each asked for two eggs and imitated Zhou Ming's actions.

"Ah, my dress!"

"You got your balls on me!"

"Ah, stop playing, I have eggs all over my face!"

All the female classmates failed.

Although some female students succeeded in creating a vortex, it only made the egg liquid splash wider.

After the attempt failed, these beautiful aristocratic female classmates were all covered in egg liquid and in a miserable state... The experience of this scene was quite bad.

"Leylin, how did you do it? How can you use magic so well?"

The female classmates surrounding Zhou Ming asked afterward.

"You'll get it after practicing it a few times. If anyone is interested in learning, I can teach her."

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"good!"

"I must learn this!"

"I want to learn too!"

The female students were very enthusiastic.

While talking and laughing, the first two opening cakes of Magic Cake Shop were ready.

Both cakes are 15 inches in size, have five layers, and are 20 centimeters high.

One of them is a "magic cake" made by Zhou Ming using magic.

The other is a "normal cake" made using a hand-cranked egg beater, juicer, dough mixer and other machines.

The female students tasted and commented on the two cakes.

"The magic cake is even better!"

"No, it should be that the magic cake is particularly delicious, while the ordinary cake tastes just average."

"I love magic cake too!"

"The taste is completely different. After eating the magic cake, you don't want to eat ordinary cakes."

The female students had unanimous opinions on the magic cake, and they all thought the magic cake was better.

It's just that the magic power in Zhou Ming's body is limited. With his ability, he can only make one magic cake per day for the time being.

Therefore, after the magic cake shop officially opened, the price difference between ordinary cakes and magic cakes was huge.

Taking a 15-inch cake as an example, the price of an ordinary cake is 100 to 180 gold coins... This price is already very exaggerated.

The price of magic cake is astonishingly expensive, ranging from 800 to 2,000 gold coins, and it requires an appointment to queue up.

Even so, in the next few months, the Magic Cake Shop and Magic Cake set off a wave of cake craze throughout the capital.
