Sugar pearls
What they buy, how to earn them, and what they never touch.
Sugar Pearls are One More Crêpe's second currency, kept in a jar beside the till. Here is everything about them, plainly.
What they are for
Pearls buy helps (in the market's Atelier tab), décor for the room, presents from the pedlar's cart and a few things in the yard. They never buy fillings, recipes, guests, days or story: all of those come from playing. The helps make a good crêpe a little easier, and their cards say so; they are meant for players who are still learning.
Earning them by playing
Everything pearls can buy can be earned by playing, and part of what you earn does not depend on how well you cook.

|---|---|---|
| A day's work | 2 pearls | Every day on which you served at least one guest, however it went |
| Guests served | 1 | For every 5 guests served, counted for good |
| Monsieur Anselme's daily gift | 3 pearls | Your first evening market of each calendar day |
| A regular met | 2 pearls | The first time each of the 4 regulars is served |
| A new chapter | 3 pearls | The first time each of the 10 story days is closed |
| A good day | 2 pearls | Nobody walked out and the day went well |
| A perfect day | 5 pearls | Nobody walked out and every crêpe was excellent (instead of a good day) |

Spending them
| What | Pearls | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Placers | 26-50 each | One per filling laid piece by piece (13): one tap lays every piece |
 | The Steady Hand | 48 pearls | Guides the rozell: easier spreading |
 | Le Petit Matin | 30 pearls | Today's guests on the day card |
 | Décor | 28-64 each | 10 pieces for the room; the same ambience as euro pieces of their size |
 | Presents for guests | 8-24 | From the pedlar's cart, four a week |
 | The yard | 4 for 2 sacks of compost; ornaments 10 and 14; beds 25 and 40 | Always one choice among others: the beds have a euro price too, and seeds are always euros |
The fair-shop rules
- Spending pearls always asks first, with a plain "Not now".
- Anything bought tonight, with pearls or euros, can be sent back for a full refund until you leave the market.
- No timers, no countdowns, no pop-ups that open by themselves. The pearl counter only opens when you tap the pearl purse, or "Ways to get pearls" after a price you could not meet. On it, "Earned by playing" comes first.
- A double tap never buys twice.
- Your pearls, helps and décor belong to you, not to one game: starting a new game keeps them, and one-time rewards cannot be collected twice.
- Adverts are only ever shown when you tap to watch one, for 3 pearls, at most 3 times a day.
