Only good children deserve my blessings.
Shuyi has been working at Aunt Goat's place for the past week, so Shen Zhizhou can only contact her when he has free time. This day, Shen Zhizhou was really curious, so he drove to the store to see how business was going.
Looking at the "young" sign he had helped take down above the store and the crowd of people inside, with Shuyi and Aunt Goat constantly greeting customers, Shen Zhizhou rolled up his sleeves and joined the team of greeters.
"Why are you here?" Seeing Shen Zhizhou arrive, Shuyi was overjoyed and ran over to pull him in by the hand. Aunt Goat smiled and greeted Shen Zhizhou before going about her business, leaving the space for the two of them.
Shen Zhizhou glanced around and commented, "It's only been a few days since it opened, and there are already so many people. That's why you're staying here to help out, isn't it?"
While skillfully shaking the milk tea and cutting the cake, Shuyi replied, "That's right, I thought that being near me would bring good fortune, so wherever I am is like having good fortune there. Aunt Goat's new store opening just needs me, the God of Wealth, to be there!"
Shen Zhizhou took the cake that Shuyi had cut and delivered it to the table according to the order number. He then placed the leftover plate on the table, rolled his eyes, and played the victim: "Why haven't you brought me any good fortune lately? I'm so broke lately, my savings are almost gone... When are you going to take me to the lottery shop again?"
"Don't even think about it! Young man, you have to work hard to earn money yourself. You can't keep thinking about getting something for nothing." Shu Yi shook her index finger to indicate her refusal. She couldn't forget the time she won five yuan with Shen Zhizhou in a scratch-off lottery.
Shen Zhizhou rested his chin on his hand on the counter and said lazily, "Who in this world truly loves their job? If there is, they must be a freak! The ultimate dream of humanity is to suddenly become a painless, rich nobody, retire comfortably, and travel the world. You see..."
Before they could finish speaking, they heard screams from the girls at the next table. The two turned around and saw that they had won their beloved blind boxes.
"I told you, you can actually get rare items from blind boxes at this store, it's amazing!"
Seeing the girls' happy faces, Shen Zhizhou looked at Shu Yi with a smile: "Thanks to you, Shu Yi, my lucky star."
"You're welcome, Mr. Shen." Shu Yi's eyebrows curved, and her face wore a pleasing smile, like the warm winter sun, which suddenly gave people a glimmer of hope.
...
Aunt Goat's textiles have gradually gained fame in the area due to their unique design style and high quality at reasonable prices, and even bloggers have come to check them out.
"Hello everyone, it's your Wanzi~ I'm currently at the entrance of the super popular Young store. I heard they not only have all kinds of beautiful textiles and clothing, but also delicious cakes and desserts. Let's check it out together~"
A stylish blogger and her friend entered the store with a camera to ask which drinks and cakes were the best-selling items. Shuyi provided smiling service and made recommendations throughout.
After ordering, blogger Wanzi found an empty seat and started taking photos. Shuyi was secretly pleased to see a blogger visiting the store and couldn't help but take out her phone to report the good news to Shen Zhizhou.
The message was sent and Shen Zhizhou replied the very next second: "Wow, looks like I'll have to make a reservation next time?"
Shuyi bit her finger and typed out her truest wish: "If the rent were lower, I can come for free."
【Goodbye!】 Looking at Shen Zhizhou's reply on the screen, Shu Yi could imagine Shen Zhizhou's expression when he replied. He really didn't lose out at all.
After preparing the cake and drinks, Shuyi thought for a moment and placed a plate of freshly baked cookies on the tray. When she brought it over, she greeted the blogger and asked if she could help them post it on social media. If so, she would like to give the cookies as a thank you gift.
The blogger, Wanzi, was very easy to talk to and nodded with a smile. In front of Shuyi, she took several nice pictures of the drinks, cakes, and store decorations and uploaded them to social media. Shuyi kept thanking her for making sure the bloggers had a great time in the store.
Maruko was amazed after taking a bite of the cake and ran to the counter to ask, "This red velvet cake is so delicious! How do you make it?"
Shu Yi chuckled awkwardly, unsure how to reply. First of all, the ingredients are different. Other cakes are made with regular eggs, but theirs are different; they're made with a mixture of "monster eggs" and regular eggs, making them not only more delicious but also claiming to have beauty and skin-nourishing effects with long-term consumption.
This subtle difference couldn't be shared with the customer; they could only laugh it off: "Our cake makers are all Michelin-starred professional pastry chefs. You have excellent taste, you noticed the difference right away."
Just then, Sister Hen, who was baking in the company kitchen, sneezed, scratched her head in confusion, and muttered, "Who's talking bad about me behind my back?"
After waking the guests up, Shu Yi counted the remaining ingredients, washed her hands, and sent a message to Sister Hen asking her to make more, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make it through the night.
A customer at the next table saw a plate of cookies on the blogger's table and called out to Shuyi at the counter, "I'd like some too!" Shuyi went over and explained with a smile, "Excuse me, miss, these cookies are a new product, so they're only given away, not sold. This is the last batch. If you want some, you'll probably have to wait until tonight, depending on whether our baker has time to make them..."
"Then you can send me something else, I think that brownie looks pretty good." A customer at the next table pointed to the brownies in the window and named it.
Shuyi bowed deeply and apologized again with a sincere attitude: "I'm really sorry, miss, this is a regular-priced item and we can't give it away as a gift. It's a small business, please understand."
The woman immediately started yelling, pointing at Shu Yi and accusing her of discriminatory treatment: "Is it because you think she's a blogger and can bring you traffic that you send her cookies, while ordinary people like us can be bullied at will? I don't care, today you either send me a plate of the same cookies, or you send me that brownie, you decide!"
Aunt Goat, who was helping customers choose fabrics, came out when she heard the noise. She glanced at the customers at the next table who had caused trouble, and pulled Shuyi behind her: "You're deliberately causing trouble, aren't you? You're bullying our girl because you think our business is good. I noticed you lurking outside my shop a few days ago. You still dare to come in and provoke our people today?"
Aunt Goat adopted a defiant stance, which immediately dampened the middle-aged woman's spirits considerably. Even though her companion kept pulling her hand to stop her from talking, Aunt Goat still raised her head defiantly and said, "You're talking nonsense! When did I ever lurk around in front of your shop? And there's hair in your cake!"
The middle-aged woman picked up the cake on the table and stabbed it hard, then turned her head to face everyone. But Shu Yi knew at a glance that she was being framed, because if there was anything in the cake, it would only be feathers, not hair.
"This is what you just secretly put in the cake. I have video evidence." Blogger Wanzi waved the camera in her hand.
Perhaps feeling embarrassed by having her crimes exposed in public, the woman's companion grabbed her bag, covered her face, and ran away.
Shuyi specially packed several cakes for blogger Wanzi to thank her, saying that she could come to the store often when she had nothing to do. Blogger Wanzi nodded with a smile.
When they were almost finished eating, blogger Wanzi pulled two scratch-off lottery tickets out of her bag and mysteriously said to the camera, "I heard that at this store, whether you're scratching prizes, opening blind boxes, or even trying to win concert tickets, your luck is 100%! Let's see if it's true, and witness the miracle!"
Shuyi tilted her head and looked at Wanzi, who was diligently scratching the lottery ticket, with an unstoppable smile on her face. She felt that her superpower was helping some people or demons become luckier and happier, and Shushu also felt proud of it.
"Wow, I scratched out 50 yuan! That's amazing! I've never won anything from scratching before..."
"I won 30 too! So happy~"
The two girls huddled together, chatting and laughing, about their luck for the day, like two fluffy kittens snuggling together and sharing their joy.
Before leaving, blogger Wanzi and her companion each took a scarf. While they were paying, Shuyi secretly cast a spell on the scarves before packing them up and handing them to them. But as they paid, Shuyi smiled and subtly reminded them, "Miss, remember to scratch your lottery tickets or try your luck at the raffle later~ You might get a pleasant surprise..."
Maruko nodded blankly and agreed. When she left, she actually followed Shuyi's advice and bought a scratch-off lottery ticket at the lottery shop next door. Unexpectedly, she actually won a big prize.
Watching the two girls hugging and jumping around laughing, Shuyi whispered to their backs, "Only kind people deserve my blessing."
"Then why don't you bless me with another 5 million?" Shen Zhizhou stood side by side with Shu Yi, hands in his pockets, watching the girls' excitement and joy.
Shu Yi pushed Shen Zhizhou away as he approached, saying, "Don't be too greedy, young man. You should know how to be content with what you have."
While the two were bickering, the eldest hen, carrying a box of freshly made desserts, lifted the curtain and shouted at the goat aunt, "Which blind brat said my desserts aren't good? I'll rip out her tongue and carve it to see if she can say it's good or not! You ignorant fool!"
You could say that Sister Hen lacks creativity in baking, or that her work isn't as refined as humans', but she can't stand the idea that her food doesn't taste good. After all, she laid those eggs herself, one by one. Doesn't she know how delicious her own eggs are?
Shuyi was coaxing Aunt Hen not to be angry when a girl with a schoolbag pointed to the job posting at the door and asked, "Excuse me, are you still hiring? I can come here for part-time work every evening after school and on weekends."
"Luo Yingcao? Isn't the allowance I give you enough for your expenses? Now you have to take on a part-time job?" Shen Zhizhou frowned as he looked at Luo Yingcao, who was carrying a schoolbag at the door. In addition to He Yong's salary, he also subsidized Luo Yingcao with 2,000 yuan for living expenses every month. In theory, there should even be some money left over.
Could this little girl have picked up some bad habit?
