The aroma filled the shop, and everyone took a deep breath. Many couldn't resist buying several boxes of different flavors. A box cost fifty coins, and even with a 20% discount, it was still forty coins.

People from average families would normally rather spend money on meat than buy this. But the aroma alone was irresistible, and those with spare cash couldn't resist, buying several tubs of different flavors to take home and share with their families. After all, it was 20% off today! Of course, there were also some who just watched without buying anything.

It only opens at noon. Although it opens late, the novelty of the goods makes it so popular that word spreads from customer to customer, and more and more people know about this unique shop.

The shop was bustling with activity. Some shrewd individuals even considered buying more goods to sell in distant towns or even the capital. They figured that if they stocked up, they could make a considerable profit. Others, with less pure intentions, planned to sneakily steal items and pocket them while the crowds were distracted.

Just as they reached the doorway, they were blocked by a transparent barrier, finding themselves unable to leave. Panicked, they cried out. Hearing the shouts, everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound and were also alarmed by the strange scene before them.

Since Wang Simeng opened the protective shield, everything inside it was now clear in her mind. Not even the slightest detail could escape her detection, let alone the act of stealing and trying to leave.

Wang Simeng walked into the shop from the back yard, stopped in front of the thief, and while speaking, glanced coldly at the thief before turning her gaze to the thief's sleeve, which was noticeably bulging.

"Take any unpaid items from your sleeve and have the employee pay for them, or put the items back in their place."

The thief trembled slightly upon hearing Wang Simeng's words, but he forced himself to remain calm and angrily stammered at her, "You...you're talking nonsense!"

Wang Simeng waved her hand impatiently: "Our store doesn't allow customers to overpay or underpay. The receipt shows the time, location, what you bought, and the total price. Where's your receipt? No one can take anything out of the store without paying." Before Wang Simeng could even mention the surveillance cameras nearby, she had already rendered the thief speechless.

The thief trembled even more violently. He had the item taken from his sleeve and put back in its place, and then had someone report it to the authorities. The constables quickly took him away.

No one paid much attention to the thief. After all, there are always a few scoundrels everywhere. But that transparent protective film was amazing.

"Won't this transparent thing hurt us?" a plump woman asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, everyone. Inside this protective shield, nothing bad can escape. You're just buying things normally, so the shield won't be triggered. And even if someone outside tries to cut you with a knife, it won't break, and it won't hurt you in the slightest," Wang Simeng said confidently.

Upon hearing this, everyone praised the shop and, even more so, the shop owner.

"There must be a master behind the scenes to open such a magical shop," a scholar-looking man analyzed. The others echoed his sentiments. No one knew that the young girl before them was the master they were talking about.

The goods were selling extremely well. Wealthy lords sent several servants to carry the food. There were also quite a few people who bought several cartloads of food, after all, who knew how long such a popular shop could stay open, or even if there would be any stock left in the future.

Many people planned to buy several carsfuls of food as gifts for relatives and friends in other cities. The wealthy young ladies, upon discovering the large crowds at the unusual shop, also began a shopping spree. They even planned a girls' get-together to share the food and show off to their friends who were unaware of the shop.
