Ye Zhaodi and Lu Yuanbao were both inexperienced children. They had never seen such grandeur from a wealthy family. The sound of firecrackers at the door of the bakery lasted for a full five minutes, leaving them both stunned.
If Chu Yue hadn't reminded them to cover their ears, their ears would have been buzzing.
Ye Zhaodi shouted excitedly, "Sister Yue, so many firecrackers, and they were gone in an instant. How much did this cost? You can't even hear the sound of firecrackers, you can actually see money being burned!"
"Then let's listen to the sound of burning money again." Chu Yue smiled and turned back, looking down at Lu Yuanbao, and asked with a smile, "Yuanbao, do you think it's fun?"
Lu Yuanbao is a child after all, and no matter how well-behaved he is, he cannot hide his childish nature.
Those firecrackers that can explode loudly are dangerous, but also very exciting.
Lu Yuanbao didn't say anything, but his bright eyes revealed everything.
As Ye Zhaodi and Lu Yuanbao were expecting, Chu Yue walked to the warehouse behind the shop and took out the firecrackers that had been prepared long ago.
She also prepared two bamboo poles, hooked the red firecrackers on the poles, handed them to Lu Yuanbao and said, "Yuanbao, take them."
The firecrackers themselves are not heavy, but because the bamboo pole is very long, they become a bit heavy.
Lu Yuanbao used all his strength to hold it steady with both hands.
Chu Yue took out the matches again and asked Ye Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, do you want to do it or should I?"
Ye Zhaodi pulled her sleeves and said, "Sister Yue, of course I'll do it! You and Yuanbao will watch together."
It was like this a long time ago. The matches were in Ye Zhaodi's hands, and Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao held the bamboo pole together.
Ye Zhaodi stood on the road, took a match, lit the fuse, and then ran away as soon as possible.
In an instant, sparks flew and crackling sounds rang out again.
Because the firecrackers are not very long, the sound ends quickly after just a few tens of seconds, which is completely incomparable to the full five minutes in the cake shop.
But it's still fun and makes people laugh.
Ye Zhaodi smiled brightly at Chu Yue, "Sister Yue, our store will surely be as prosperous as this firecracker, and we will make a lot of money for you!"
Lu Yuanbao also prepared auspicious words in advance, "Business is booming, make a lot of money every day!"
Chu Yue was overjoyed to hear this.
Such a small episode was too insignificant to attract the attention of the group of people at the intersection.
After Pei Mingzhu and Pei Hanchuan pulled down the red satin, the cake shop officially opened to the public. The first batch of customers rushed in, and each of them was stunned.
"Cake? Is this a cake? There are flowers on it, so pretty! This looks delicious."
"Not only is the cake beautiful, the price is also very attractive. You should open your eyes and see clearly. Such a small piece costs two dollars! Two dollars! It's two days' salary for me."
"Look at this! This! This is so big and round. How much is it... Fifty... Fifty dollars! This costs fifty dollars?! I can't even afford it with my monthly salary."
"Coffee? What is coffee? Is it good?"
People are shocked by the trendy and fashionable things in the stores, but also shocked by the huge prices.
The cheapest cake is the one that costs fifty yuan. There are also cakes that cost one hundred yuan or two hundred yuan, which are placed in beautiful cupboards for people to admire and envy.
After all, it was made by a master craftsman from Shanghai, and the price was the same as in Shanghai, which gave the local people a small price shock.
So even though the cake shop was packed with people, most of them were just there to watch and few actually spent money to buy.
Pei Hanchuan, one of the bosses, had anticipated this situation and didn't care about it at all.
According to Pei Hanchuan himself, "I opened a cake shop so that Tianci can eat cream cake whenever he wants. Does it matter whether the business is good or not, or whether it makes a loss or not?"
Young Master Pei doesn't care at all.
Pei Hanchuan also felt that there were too many customers and it was a bit noisy, otherwise he could have asked Pei Tianci to come out and sit in the shop to eat cake.
But this is Pei's new store after all, and many important figures in the city have come to show their support. Pieces of beautiful cakes are placed on exquisite plates and served to the guests.
As the heir of the Pei family, Pei Mingzhu had to stay and socialize.
She walked gracefully in her cheongsam among the guests in suits and ties.
Pei Hanchuan had no interest in this kind of socializing. He turned around and asked the waiter for a piece of cake. "Give me the one in the middle with grapes on it."
"Okay, Master Pei."
The waiter handed the cake to his boss respectfully.
Pei Hanchuan took the plate, turned around gracefully, pushed open the side door, and walked into a lounge.
"Tianci, your uncle is here and brought you some delicious food—"
As Pei Hanchuan pushed open the door of the lounge, a fair and delicate little boy was sitting on the sofa inside.
Since Pei Tianci was less sick, Pei Mingzhu finally allowed him to go out.
Attending a formal occasion today, Pei Tianci wore a white shirt with a pair of trousers with black suspenders, looking like a delicate and handsome young master.
When he saw Pei Hanchuan, he called out obediently, "Uncle, you sneaked back again."
"How can you say that uncle sneaked away? I came back openly. Besides, uncle came back for Tianci." Pei Hanchuan sat down next to Pei Tianci, put down the cake in his hand, and asked worriedly, "Were you scared when the firecrackers went off just now?"
Pei Tianci smiled shyly and said softly, "A little bit, but I won't be scared soon."
This scene made Pei Tianci's heart soften and warm. How could their Tianci be so cute!
I really want to bring the best things in the world to him.
"Come on! Tianci, let's eat cake!"
"Wow... there are grapes."
"This is fruit flavored. Right now we only have grape, but we'll have strawberry later. Tianci, do you want strawberry?"
"I want to eat!"
"Whatever Tianci wants, uncle will definitely give it to you! We will add a new product next week, a strawberry cake."
"Uncle, are there any strawberries now?"
"If I say yes, then yes!"
While Pei Hanchuan and Pei Tianci were chatting in the lounge, the cake shop sold its first order of the day.
"Look, look! Someone bought that fifty-dollar cake!"
"That's fifty dollars. I worked for two months without eating or drinking, and that's all I got. And she just bought it."
"What kind of wealthy family is this..."
The beautiful cake was taken out of the cupboard, carefully placed in a colorful cardboard box, then tied with a satin ribbon and delivered to the guests.
"Here is your cake, take it carefully, and welcome to visit us next time."
The person who reached out to take the cake was a woman in her forties or fifties, dressed neatly and meticulously, but she was not a wealthy person. It was obvious that she worked for a wealthy family.
This person was none other than Zhuang Lan, who had met Chu Yue several times before in the market.
Zhuang Lan took the cake, carefully squeezed through the crowd and walked out of the cake shop.
As soon as she came out, several people followed her. Firstly, some of them were curious about the cake in Zhuang Lan's hand, and they couldn't afford it so they stared at it; secondly, they were curious about Zhuang Lan's identity, and they didn't know which wealthy family she was from.
Having seen the hustle and bustle of the cake shop, I decided to leave with Zhuang Lan.
at the same time.
After seeing the hustle and bustle in the cake shop, the crowd that had left earlier passed by the door of Chu Yue’s shop and discovered the newly opened shop.
Chu Yue greeted them warmly, "We just opened today, welcome to come in and take a look."
"Look, there's a new grocery store here. It has a lot of stuff, almost like the supply and marketing cooperative. If you live close to the supply and marketing cooperative, you don't have to walk that far."
"What about the price? What price? Is it the same as the supply and marketing cooperative? Is there any cheaper price?"
"I checked the prices, and they're the same as at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"It's not a supply and marketing cooperative, but the price is the same. It's not cheap at all! Who knows if it's good? What if it's diluted with water or adulterated? It's better to walk a few more steps and buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Many people passed by, but no one actually walked into Chu Yue’s shop.
When Ye Zhaodi heard someone slandering the things in the store, the young man became impulsive and wanted to rush out to argue, but was stopped by Chu Yue.
"Zhao Di, in business, harmony brings wealth. Don't be impulsive. Besides, the quality of our food will only be known after they have tried it. Once we have established a good reputation, we will have no problem finding business."
"Sister Yue, I'll remember this and I won't be so impulsive next time."
Chu Yue was rejected by so many people, but she still stood at the door of the store and greeted people warmly. At this moment, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Auntie Lan!"
When Zhuang Lan heard the voice, she looked up and saw Chu Yue. She was surprised and then laughed, "It's you. Why are you here? I looked for you every time I went to the market, but I never saw you."
"Auntie Lan, I've opened a shop here and won't be setting up a stall in the market anymore."
As Chu Yue spoke, she noticed the group of people following Zhuang Lan and the cake box she was carrying, and she had an idea in her mind.
"Open a store?" Zhuang Lan looked at the clean and bright store behind Chu Yue, "Is this your store?"
"It's mine. Today is the first day of our new store opening. You are my first customer, Aunt Lan. Come in and take a look," Chu Yue invited Zhuang Lan into the store and explained carefully, "Aunt Lan, look here are the freshest mountain products, over here are candies... over here are daily necessities... and here are some more."
As Zhuang Lan walked into Chu Yue's shop, the people who were originally following Zhuang Lan were stunned.
A person who can spend fifty dollars to buy an expensive cake in a cake shop actually buys things in an unknown grocery store?
If she buys it, they will buy it too!
If you can’t afford a fifty-dollar cake, can’t you spare fifty cents?
Zhuang Lan looked at the shop carefully. Not only was it clean and tidy, but there were also many varieties of goods. She immediately fell in love with the mountain products placed at the entrance. They were fresh and clean, and all the mud was removed.
besides……
"You still sell White Rabbit candy here?"
"There are some, but not many. This stuff is not easy to deal with." Chu Yue said this deliberately, quite realistically.
Zhuang Lan took a fancy to the sesame oil on the counter again and said, "Let me see the sesame oil."
Ye Zhaodi stood nervously behind the counter, receiving her first customer. She quickly turned around and took the sesame oil. She took the initiative to open the rubber stopper and handed it over. "Smell it. Our sesame oil is so fragrant! It's delicious whether you use it to stir-fry or mix with cold dishes."
