Chapter 104 Wife Cake Specialty Store

These days, Xie Shuangbai has been in the palace, not only teaching Master Li how to make cakes, but also designing new peripherals.

He was taking a break from his busy schedule to make kimchi, and it was because he was greedy again.

"Xiaochun, give me the jar."

Xie Shuangbai was wearing an apron and holding a cabbage covered with chili powder in her hand.

Xiaodong and the others looked at the red cabbages in the pot and found them quite scary.

"Master, aren't these peppers spicy?"

"You'll know when you try it!"

The kimchi he made just looked spicy, but the chili peppers weren't actually that spicy.

"Okay, put these 20 or so jars in the kitchen and you can eat them soon."

Pei Wen was surrounded in the shop today, so he came to the palace in a hurry. When the housekeeper brought him there, he happened to run into Xie Shuangbai with chili powder on his hands.

Pei Wen didn't expect that he could cook, and it was so... down-to-earth.

Xie Shuangbai looked at the stunned Pei Wen: "Shopkeeper Pei, why are you here?"

Pei Wen said excitedly, "Sir, the stories you wrote have received great response. Many people have come to the shop and asked for a storybook. I'd like to ask for your opinion!"

"Then let's go."

Xie Shuangbai's original intention was to promote Wife Cake, but he didn't expect so many people would like it.

He thought for a moment and said, "The story doesn't have many words, so why not publish a picture book? That way, even illiterate people can understand the story by looking at the pictures."

Pei Wen immediately understood: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Also, the origami we ordered is ready. Should we send it directly to Shopkeeper Wang?"

"Yes, you can teach him how to fold it."

"Show me the manuscript once it's finished."

After communicating the matter, Pei Wen left in a hurry again.

Shopkeeper Wang has been preparing for a new store these days.

The shop has been installed and is waiting to open the day after tomorrow.

Pei Wen brought origami and taught everyone in the shop how to fold it.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at him and urged, "The only thing missing is the huge portrait."

Pei Wen almost forgot and promised again and again: "I will definitely send it to you tomorrow."

Time passed quickly and it was the day after tomorrow. Some careful people discovered that the original Yipinzhai had become a wife cake specialty store.

The one who discovered this new change was none other than Cao’s Pastry Shop, a competitor not far from Yipinzhai.

They were quite happy to see Yipinzhai close down before, but today they are selling wife cakes.

The owner of Cao’s Pastry Shop realized belatedly that this was the cake in the story he had seen a few days ago.

Yipinzhai actually cooperated with them to open a wife cake shop.

There are others who have the same doubts as him.

"Hey Miss, look, there's a shop here that actually sells wife cakes?"

"Go in and take a look."

Chen Rouer remembered that the dim sum sold at Yipinzhai was decent before, but it had become very mediocre since they changed the chef.

If their shop dared to use the wife cakes in the story to deceive people, she would not forgive this deceiving shop.

When I walked into the shop, I saw several huge posters hanging on the walls.

They are all Hui Niang and Wang Dazhu, some when they were young and some when they were old.

The style of the shop is completely different from its previous dull and boring appearance.

There are light wood counters inside, which look very clean. The shops all have extended counters, and the shelves at the back are filled with cakes. The waiters are waiting inside, which looks very strange.

There is a tasting area next to it, which is quite large and has someone in charge.

The cashier counter was very large, with three young accountants sitting behind it. Chen Rouer had never seen a shop with three accountants working at the cashier counter.

They all had small wooden signs in front of them, two of them had "Cashier" written on them, and one had "Member Registration" written on it.

Chen Rouer looked at the new store and found it interesting.

"Miss, please take a look at our freshly baked wife cakes. They are sweet, soft and delicious, suitable for all ages."

The shop assistants have all received training before taking up their posts and are very enthusiastic.

Chen Rouer glanced at the golden-yellow wife cakes and said unkindly, "Are you guys the authentic ones? Don't just copy them because the story went viral!"

Shopkeeper Wang saw the woman in front of him dressed in rich clothes and said enthusiastically:

"Miss, we are a legitimate wife cake franchise store, the only one in Bincheng. If we were fake, would we dare to do it so openly?"

Chen Rouer thought about it and thought the cake was indeed good. "How much do you sell it for?"

Shopkeeper Wang said, "The boxes are 100 wen a box, and there are six in a box."

Chen Rouer didn't say anything, and Wang Shengcai said:

"Look at these cakes, they are freshly baked, and the boxes they come in are also oil-paper boxes with portraits of people on them. They are also beautiful as gifts!

If you are eating with your family, you can choose the ones in oil paper bags, which are more economical. A bag of six is ​​only 50 wen.

After saying that, he took out a packaged sample and showed it to her.

Chen Rouer was not short of money, so she bought the one with the box because she liked the picture on the box.

Seeing that she had plenty of money, Shopkeeper Wang introduced her, "Miss, if you can collect all eight designs on the paper box, you can exchange them for gifts from our shop."

The maid beside Chen Rouer asked curiously, "What gift?"

At this time, many customers came in from outside, all attracted by the name of the Wife Cake Store.

Part of the reason was that after reading the story, I was curious that a store was actually opened, and part of the reason was that I just wanted to watch the fun.

As soon as they entered the store, they heard the shopkeeper's words and leaned in to listen.

The shop assistant brought the exchange gift over, and Shopkeeper Wang introduced it:

"This is an apron. It has sleeves. Using it greatly reduces the dirt on clothes. It's very practical."

"This is a beauty soap specially developed by our employer. The quantity is limited and it will be gone once we exchange it."

Chen Rouer became interested in this beauty soap. "Can I take a look at this soap?"

Shopkeeper Wang gave her a piece of soap. The soap was light red and had a faint floral scent. Chen Rouer liked it immediately.

She held the soap and couldn't let it go: "I want this, how can I change it?"

"Facial soap requires membership and points to be redeemed. Since our store is newly opened, the owner is offering a free soap bar for every 50 taels top-up as a thank you for your support.

You don’t need to be a member to get an apron, you can exchange it once you collect 4 patterns.”

"The owner said that they will gradually add some products that are not available elsewhere for members to exchange for in the future, so please stay tuned!"

Chen Rouer took the soap and said, "Interesting! I'll charge 50 taels and the soap will be mine!"

"Yes, miss, please keep this membership card numbered 001. Since you are our store's first top-up user, we will give you another bar of soap as a thank you for your support. This benefit is only available to the first supporter. Congratulations, miss!"

Chen Rouer happily took the membership card. The card was a square piece of white jade with the name of the shop and her number 001 engraved on it.

She was very happy that she was the first person to win, and she unexpectedly got a bar of soap. She was in a very good mood and waved her hand: "Ten more boxes of wife cakes."

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang's face was so full of laughter that he gave her two more aprons.

"Miss, you bought 10 more boxes. Now that's enough patterns, I'll give you two more aprons."

The maid who came with Chen Rouer was also happy. The apron that the master got would definitely be given to her when she got back, and it would be nice to sell it later.

The people watching nearby were also tempted. Some wanted the apron, and most wanted the soap.

"Boss, give me 50 taels!"

"I'll also charge 50 taels for that soap!"

"I want 10 boxes of wife cakes!"

Wang Fa Cai sighed again, the young master is really a fortune teller, maybe the three accountants at the door are not enough!
