Chapter 2218 The Top Scholar is Really Useful
Just two days after the parade, the newly crowned champion is the talk of the town.
Upon hearing Manager Yun's words, the crowd of people who had been curiously peering out the door were instantly stunned, their eyes widening in unison. "Is this the shop opened by the newly appointed top scholar?"
"That top scholar who passed all six imperial examinations?"
"What's sold inside? The things the top scholar usually eats and uses?"
Manager Yun, accompanied by two shop assistants, said with a smile, "Yes, that's right, it's the top scholar Meng who achieved the highest score in the imperial examination."
"Of course, you don't know what our top scholar ate when he entered the examination hall, right? It was this, instant noodles."
Some people questioned, "Is it real? What kind of instant noodles are these? I've never even heard of them. Are they expensive?"
"It's not expensive." A waiter immediately came forward. "You want to know what kind of noodles these are? Come in, please. I'll cook you a noodle cake to try right away. I guarantee you'll find it so delicious that your tongue will fall off. Besides, you can eat these noodles directly or as a snack."
With the introductions from the shopkeeper and the waiter, and the allure of the top scholar, many people soon arrived outside the door.
They were taken aback when they saw the sunflower seeds and sunflower oil upon entering.
They were very familiar with sunflower seeds, since passion fruit shops had been selling them for several years. Although they weren't cheap, they could still afford them.
As for sunflower oil, that's much easier to explain.
"Our sunflower oil is supplied to the nobles in the palace; only our Lu family has it. The top scholar used it to cook and stir-fry dishes. Otherwise, why do you think he was so smart? Although I can't guarantee it, I suspect it has something to do with this oil."
Standing at the top of the stairs, Shu Yu thought, "..." Can your guess be based on something?
She couldn't help but turn her head to glance at the person on the second floor, "You're such a useful tool."
Meng Yunzheng asked with a smile, "Then do I still need to go down?"
"For the time being, it seems unnecessary."
Manager Yun's publicity was very effective. After Meng Yunzheng's parade on horseback, he had people spread the word in every street and alley. Right now, it's just local residents passing by, but gradually, people from other places should also come.
Just as Shu Yu was thinking this, Ying Xi came over and said, "Miss, Madam Yao has arrived."
Shu Yu immediately went out to greet her, "Auntie, sister-in-law, come in quickly."
"Congratulations on your grand opening!" Madam Yao presented the gift box and entered the house with Madam Kang.
As soon as I entered, I heard two guys talking animatedly about Meng Yunzheng's... evolution into a top scholar. Both of them looked surprised for a moment.
Shu Yu touched her nose. "Let's go to the backyard for tea. We'll leave this place for them to entertain us."
Madam Yao chuckled but didn't say anything more.
Just as Shu Yu welcomed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the backyard, three or four carriages suddenly stopped outside the gate.
Yingxi had observed this before, and then whispered, "I think I saw Wu Ling, the girl who spoke ill of Miss behind her back, as well as Xue Yun, who reminded Miss, and the girl who owns the rouge shop across the street. All of them are here."
They just wouldn't come in; it was as if they were just standing outside waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
Shu Yu glanced at them, and since they weren't getting out of the car, she decided to pretend she didn't know anything.
Before long, several more carriages arrived. Even though Futai Street was wide, it couldn't handle so many people and carriages.
Soon, several young women got off the carriage and walked over.
