The City with No Name 2

What's more, even though the current taste of the dessert has been recognized by the residents of the city

What's more, even though the current taste of the dessert has been recognized by the residents of the city, the shopkeeper is still not satisfied with this, and every day after the store closes, he will also take out the thick baking tome from his bag and turn page after page until late at night. His craft is indeed getting better and better. So good that even some of the young people who had already left the city, determined to go out and make something of themselves, whenever they suffer and break their hearts, they will not be able to resist returning to this nameless city to eat a dessert made by the shopkeeper, to be soothed by the heart as if they can continue to hold on. The young people who set out again went out into the world and traveled further and further, bringing the fame of this store's desserts with them. In my hometown, there are the best desserts in the world. They said so to the people outside. When more people heard this, there were always people who could not resist their curiosity and decided to go to that nameless city to try the legendary dessert. This is a big news for the nameless city, which has never been out but never in. The residents of the city watched in amazement as more and more strangers came into town, asking them where the magical dessert store was. In fact, there is no need to poke around, just follow the long queue and you will always find it. Seeing so many people from outside come here to eat dessert, the residents of the city of nowhere have been silent mind slowly began to live up, since the dessert store business is so good, the desserts made always in short supply, then why do not we also follow the dessert store it? Some of them really did so, but unfortunately the taste of the dessert was very poor, far from the taste of the dessert made by the store manager. So everyone respectfully asked the store manager for the secret of making desserts. The store manager did not hide his secrets, and shared all the baking tips he had accumulated over the years, and sometimes took time out of his busy schedule to teach newcomers how to do it better. The dessert that I make alone cannot be for everyone to eat. The store manager said to the apprentices with a big smile. I hope you can also get better and better, and make good tasting desserts for more people to taste. After a period of time, some apprentices were really able to make decent desserts, and a new dessert store was opened next to the old store of the store manager. And from time to time, the shopkeeper also recommended to the people lining up in front of his store: you can try the stores next door, their taste is also quite good. Within a few years, the whole alley was filled with all kinds of dessert stores, and the sweet smell filled the alley, making it very lively and the reputation spread further and further. Even the city without a name has a name, a variety of nicknames related to desserts, although they are not official names, still only on people's lips, but compared to the previous situation of not even a verbal name, but is still too much progress. The city without a name seems to be about to change forever. The makers of the map have decided to mark the small town with an official name on the map, and the most popular of all the alternative names is to use the name of the store of that most famous dessert store, or simply the name of the shopkeeper himself to name the small town. This should be the most logical direction for the story to go. But not everyone recognizes such a direction of development, and some of them are still very much opposed to it.
