Chapter 15

The very festive, old-fashioned red firecrackers crackled and popped loudly, and the watching crowd also applauded one after another, congratulating the shop on its opening.

When they had arrived, quite a few people were already lined up. Now, because the shop was newly opening, the sound of the firecrackers drew even more people over to watch.

Just like the past two days, the milk tea sold out very quickly. Her wife was becoming more and more skilled at bustling around inside the shop.

Luo Yan, Xiao Xu, and Mother were busy in the shop greeting customers, while her wife naturally took on the role of cashier. She recorded clearly what had been sold and how much money had been earned.

Luo Yan suddenly discovered that her wife had great potential for managing accounts. Her wife was a promising stock~

Especially when it came to recording the deposits for the milk tea bamboo tubes, her wife was extremely serious and recorded everything in great detail. Luo Yan liked her wife’s carefulness very much.

Yesterday, when Luo Yan was preparing the food to sell today, she had explained everything to her wife very carefully.

When selling the mung bean cakes and the little milk-scented steamed buns, she still followed the previous method. She took out two of each, cut them into very tiny pieces, and placed them in wine bowls so everyone could taste them first.

As expected, this time, everyone came forward without any hesitation to ask for a sample. Unfortunately, the food pieces were too tiny. Before they could even properly feel the flavor, it was gone.

“Shopkeeper! How are these little buns sold? These little buns are way too delicious!”

Luo Yan smiled brightly at this person and said, “Fifty wen for ten little milk-scented steamed buns.”

That person hesitated a little, thinking that such a small little milk bun was being sold for such a high price. “Too expensive, Shopkeeper!”

Luo Yan was not anxious and continued replying to this person with a smile. Only this time, Luo Yan raised her voice and said, “Milk-scented buns, milk-scented buns! They’re made with milk and eggs inside. Not only that, these little milk-scented buns also have honey added to them. Everyone surely knows that milk, eggs, and honey are all extremely nutritious. The process of making them is many times more complicated than ordinary steamed buns made at home, and their value is not on the same level either.”

Everyone listened carefully as the shopkeeper introduced this milk-scented bun. When they heard that milk and eggs were added, they suddenly understood. No wonder when they ate it just now, the little bun had truly been so milky and fragrant.

“Everyone knows the value of eggs. As for milk, that goes without saying. Some children whose mothers produce little milk grow up drinking cow’s milk or goat’s milk…” someone standing behind that person suddenly spoke up.

When everyone heard this person say that, they thought it was indeed true. Everyone knew these things well in their hearts. And honey was not only expensive, it was also very nutritious!

The people at the back who had not yet reached the front of the line began to grow anxious after hearing the shopkeeper say all this, urging the people in front of them to hurry up and buy.

At this moment, the person in front suddenly said, “Give me two packets.” Naturally, they knew everything the shopkeeper had said. At first, they had been very confused as to why this food was so small, but now that they knew the answer, they could understand. The little milk-scented steamed buns really were delicious.

“All right. Since this is a new shop opening, buying one packet comes with two extra pieces. Since you bought two packets, I’ll give you four extra.” The gift was something Luo Yan had deliberately looked for an opportunity to mention. Everything was now happening according to her plan.

When this person heard there was a free gift, they were very happy. “Then thank you, Shopkeeper. Shopkeeper really is wonderful. I’ll definitely come often in the future! The food and drinks your shop makes are all good.”

Luo Yan looked at them and smiled happily. “Everyone liking them is already recognition for me!” She looked at this person, then at everyone behind them, and continued, “Thank you all very much for your support, and for supporting the shop.”

Seeing the shopkeeper say this, everyone felt embarrassed. If they liked it, they came to buy it. What was there to thank them for? But this shopkeeper really was a good person, and the things she sold were good too! The two words “Juewei” had not been chosen wrongly!

After everyone tried the mung bean cakes, they were full of surprise. When they asked the price, it was the same as that old shop in the market, but the flavor was far better than that shop’s!

One customer could not help asking Luo Yan, “Your shop’s mung bean cakes really are very delicious. How do you make them so fragrant and so authentic in flavor?”

Luo Yan replied to everyone’s questions one by one. Everyone happily bought mung bean cakes while listening to the shopkeeper speak.

Because there were not many mung bean cakes or little milk-scented steamed buns, they sold out in a very short time.

Seeing that there were none left, everyone’s disappointment was really something else. Because of this, Luo Yan could only think of another way.

“If everyone wants to buy mung bean cakes and little milk-scented buns, you can register in advance now and pay a deposit. Pay half as the deposit, then pay the other half when you come to pick them up. You can come directly before noon tomorrow to collect them.”

Some people who had been about to leave immediately became excited after hearing Luo Yan say this. One after another, they went to Hanxue’s side to line up, register, and pay the deposit.

Watching a large group of people walk toward her wife to line up and register, Luo Yan suddenly [read the original at bailiantales.com]realized that, in her misfortune, she had accidentally arranged an arduous task for her wife.

Mother Luo and Xiao Xu, who were watching from the side, were also stunned. There were far too many people lining up! At a rough estimate, there were dozens…

Uh…

How long would they have to work at home to make all of this!!!

Luo Yan was not very worried about this problem. She walked into the shop and took out the cake. “Mother, take out the meat filling and the prepared dough.”

Mother Luo, who had been staring blankly at everyone, almost did not react when she heard Yan’er speak to her. “Hm? Oh, all right.”

“Mm.” As Luo Yan spoke, she placed the cake in the most eye-catching spot in the shop. As soon as she put the cake down, it attracted everyone’s attention.

“Shopkeeper, what kind of food is this?” It looked rather big. They did not know what the price would be.

Luo Yan replied, “This is mung bean cake. As for what mung bean cake is…”

As everyone listened to Luo Yan slowly explain, they grew terribly anxious. “How much is this?”

“For the new shop opening, within these three days, this cake will be sold for two hundred wen. After three days, one c​Read on BaiLianTales​ake will be three hundred wen.”

“Shopkeeper, why is there only one cake?” This person looked at the people around them as they spoke.

Luo Yan said, “The production process for this is long. Whoever buys this mung bean cake today, I’ll sell it to them for one hundred and eighty wen. However…”

“Shopkeeper, hurry and say it!”

“However, there is one condition. This cake must be eaten inside the shop!”

After everyone heard this, they began thinking it over in their hearts. In less than a dozen seconds, a young man stepped forward and said, “I want this cake!” As he spoke, he directly handed the money to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan smoothly accepted it. Then she saw a beautiful woman walk up behind him. The woman wore ivory-colored clothes that were very beautiful.

The woman and the young man sat down. Xiao Xu hurriedly stepped forward and brought tableware for the two of them.

Just like that, the two of them ate the mung bean cake under everyone’s gaze. When the mung bean cake entered their mouths, their eyes instantly lit up, and everyone took in that expression.

From the looks of it, this cake’s flavor was definitely outstanding! Watching the two of them never stop and continuously eat that large mung bean cake, everyone truly hoped they would not be able to finish and would leave some behind…
