Chapter 97
Customers were attracted by the shouting and walked around, but they only bought a few food items and then they were done with their shopping…
Customers were attracted by the shouting all around and walked around, but they only bought a few food items and were ready to leave when they had nothing more to see.
Because when you ask about the price... 7 out of 10 shops offer 300 copper coins more!
There was a self-service restaurant called Yueting a few days ago. When hearing the price again, some people had an expression on their faces saying "Am I a fool?" and were almost speechless.
"Brothers and sisters, wait a minute!"
Seeing this, Zhao Liang and Liu Meng, students from several other institutions, had an idea. They decided to maximize the attributes of the community cow and take this group of new customers to Yueting Self-service.
This made the owners of the surrounding food stalls anxious, and some of them even changed their prices on the spot.
"The price is negotiable. I'll give you fifty off!"
"I'll sell it cheap, too. Only two hundred and ninety-nine copper coins!"
"Two hundred! I'll sell it for two hundred!"
But the customers didn't bother to pay attention and just turned away.
Xiao Yue didn't expect Zhao Liang and the others to do this. She was very grateful and waved to Zhao Liang who turned around and smiled at her to show her gratitude.
After watching them walk away, Xiao Yue hung up the whiteboard that he had specially prepared last night in front of the stall.
There were three simple red words written on it: SOLD OUT.
This way, later customers won't have to squeeze in, then leave disappointed when they see the food is sold out - instead, they will be disappointed when they see it from a distance, cough.
Xiao Yue coughed lightly and took out the prepared lunch.
She was hungry for most of the day yesterday, so she learned her lesson today. She will prepare meals for the day specially from now on.
Anyway, since it is stored in a fresh-keeping food container, you don’t have to worry about it getting clumpy, soft, or not cold anymore.
There was a small table inside the stall for food ingredients. Xiao Yue cleaned it out and placed the food on it one by one.
Cold noodles, ice cream, a small amount of braised food, passion fruit drink... When you get to the bottom layer, there is a portion of packaged snail noodles.
Xiao Yue looked up to his right and saw the man in white serving a customer.
So she waited for a while, and when she saw the customer pick out the cake and leave, she walked over and said, "Business is pretty good today. Here, the snail noodles you promised me."
"Thank you." The man took it with a smile on his face, a little embarrassed: "I have smelled this smell since yesterday. I miss it so much. It's just like my hometown."
These words almost revealed his identity; he had indeed traveled through time.
Xiao Yue couldn't help but hold her breath. Although she didn't burst into tears when meeting her fellow villagers, she was still very excited.
Before she could speak, the man continued, "By the way, thank you for your suggestion yesterday. Business is indeed better today. My name is Luo Zhi, what's yours?"
"My name is Xiao Yue." Xiao Yue answered, looking at the cakes on his stall, and smiled more sincerely: "How long have you been here?"
"In less than a month, I almost died. Fortunately, I still have a skill." Luo Zhi sighed, and suddenly remembered something. He bent down and took out a delicate little box for her: "This is the new flavor I developed last night. Would you like to take it back and try it?"
Probably because they confirmed each other's identities, Luo Zhi was a little more enthusiastic than yesterday.
However, Xiao Yue felt that he was still slow to warm up, and even if she wanted to get to know him, there would still be a process of getting along with him. So she chatted with him casually for a few words, said goodbye, and went back to her stall to eat.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Yue burped, looked at the small cake on the table, and decided to go back and eat more.
Today she was still the first to leave. The official who was checking was replaced by another one, who exclaimed loudly.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xiao Yue to leave Linxiping smoothly.
It was not until they returned to the store that Fang Sanhong told her that business today was better than yesterday, as many people who celebrated the Zhihuai Festival in Linxiping ended up coming here to eat.
Naturally, Zhao Liang and others took the lead in this. Fang Sanhong and others were also aware of it, and they didn't know how to thank them for a moment.
Xiao Yue was moved and said confidently: "The delicious food in the restaurant is the best reward for them!"
At the same time, she thought that her decision was indeed correct.
Five copper coins is cheap, and it takes several people to earn the "two hundred and ninety-nine" of someone else's delicious food, but who can blame her for having so many customers?
Alternative human wave tactics!
And wouldn’t it be possible for those who couldn’t buy food at Yueting Snacks to just go to Yueting Buffet?
Win-win!
Such a happy result led to Xiao Yue eating too much again tonight.
So she distributed the small cake to everyone. Although each person only took a bite, everyone looked surprised after finishing it.
Upon asking, they learned that it was sent by a boss Xiao Yue knew in Linxiping, and they all exclaimed "Wow".
“This is really good craftsmanship!”
“Better than most bakery shops!”
“It tastes so sweet.”
Only Fang Sanhong and Su Xiaoxiao looked at each other, the former raised her eyebrows and the latter rolled her eyes.
——
In the following days, Xiao Yue put more food on the cart every day. It was to the point where she could not fit any more in. Others began to wonder if she was born with supernatural powers.
Despite this, the Yueting snack stall is still the first to be left empty every day, and the people in the government have almost gotten used to it.
Under such influence, the most panicked ones are of course the owners of other stalls.
So two days ago, most of the food stalls in Linxiping lowered their prices, from the highest price of 4,500 to 700, and those that were already not expensive to less than 100. Only then did the number of customers gradually increase.
Xiao Yue did not comment on this, because his business was still the most popular in the entire Linxiping and was not affected too much.
On this day, Yueting snacks were still sold out.
Xiao Yue has long been accustomed to leaving early. Although he is busy from beginning to end every day, he feels so happy when he sees the cart go from full to empty.
Today, Xiao Yue took a short break and then closed the stall as usual. He returned to Yueting Buffet with the delicious food he exchanged with Luo Zhi, which was a small cake.
Last time everyone ate it they all said they liked it, so Xiao Yue fed it to them now as a dessert after dinner.
Not only Fang Sanhong and Su Xiaoxiao, but even Lu Ran noticed this phenomenon.
These past few days, Xiao Yue not only brought extra food out every day, but also brought back a portion of pastries. It was obvious that she prepared them for the other party, and the other party also prepared them specially for her.
"You..." Fang Sanhong raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"
Xiao Yue, who was sharing the dessert, was confused and looked at her and said, "What's going on?"
You mean cake?
But Xiao Yue remembered that she said the next day that the cake was sent by a boss she knew in Lin Xiping.
Of course, we have now developed into friends, and there is an extra bond between us than just ordinary friends.
Lu Ran then asked: "The boss is a woman?"
"No." Xiao Yue was even more confused: "Didn't I tell you? He's a man with a good personality!"
Lu Ran: “…”
Fang Sanhong: “…”
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Oh no.
In the huge yard, there were probably only Sun Wen, Hua Jinjin, Hua Cancan and Xiao Yue, with four big words on their foreheads, making it unclear what the meaning was.
Fortunately, Fang Sanhong and the others did not ask Xiao Yue any more questions, and after dinner, everyone went back to their homes.
Only Lu Ran walked for a while, changed direction, and went to the brightly lit City Lord's Mansion.
"Why are you here?"
Duan Lin, who was busy dealing with things in the study, raised his head and smiled in vain, trying to cheer himself up.
There is no other reason. Once the Zhihuai Festival begins, the entire government becomes busy!
"Where is the young master?" Lu Ran ignored him and picked up the booklet on the table to look at it.
Duan Lin simply stood up and poured a cup of tea, and replied numbly: "Of course I'm busy. I'm still discussing with the Lord of Qingyun City and others."
There are so many things to deal with when the two cities cooperate. The superiors are so busy that the subordinates don’t have a proper rest time.
Lu Ran took the teacup, nodded calmly and said, "Be busy."
"What do you mean?" Duan Lin knew there was something behind his words, and frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The reason why Lu Ran came here was probably because of Yueting’s self-help, or Linxiping’s matter...which was all related to Madam Xiao.
Duan Lin went over the thought in his mind, but when he looked up, he saw Lu Ran's playful expression.
"It's not a big deal, nothing went wrong, it's just that Madam Xiao met a man in Linxiping..."
Duan Lin just listened to Lu Ran saying the most shocking thing in the calmest tone.
That is, these days Madam Xiao and a man prepare meals for each other every day. Madam Xiao not only brings the meals back to share, but also praises the man for his good character.
It's just such a simple sentence, but if you think about it carefully, the food that Madam Xiao brought back shows that the person's cooking skills are not bad, and the personality that Madam Xiao praised shows that he is really good.
The most important thing is that everyone knows that Madam Xiao is not someone who can easily accept others...
What’s going on!
Duan Lin was dumbfounded.
Lu Ran added: "I just said it casually, I'm not spreading rumors about Madam Xiao, and Madam Xiao has no such intention. You can tell the young master to let him rest assured."
Duan Lin: “…”
Can this be assured? !
Good character and good cooking skills, whether Madam Xiao has ever praised the young master in this way is unknown, but what is certain is that when the young master comes out after the discussion...
The sky is falling! !
——
The sun is bright and the locust flowers are fragrant.
Xiao Yue basically had a fixed time for going to Linxiping, so he wouldn't be late for the on-site inspection, nor would he go too early and have nothing to do.
But today was a little different. The closer she got to Linxiping, the more she could see that the carts in front of her were blocked.
Xiao Yue thought that someone was pushing the wheel too slowly, so he stopped and waited for a while.
Unexpectedly, after a long time, the team only moved the positions of two carts. She heard faint voices of discussion around her, and then she realized that something seemed to be wrong.
What's going on?
Xiao Yue stood on tiptoe to take a look, and saw a cart at the entrance, which was being stopped and carefully inspected by government officials.
It’s better to check it together with two people!
They seemed to be talking about something, and their expressions were very serious, but I couldn't hear them clearly from the distance.
Xiao Yue looked closer and found that the owner of the cart in front happened to be from the same business as him, and he had come to buy a cup of passion fruit drink yesterday.
"Sister Luo!" Xiao Yue called her, and when she saw the woman turned around, she asked, "What happened? Do you know?"
Sister Luo then noticed her behind her and immediately walked over to her and said, "Why are you here? Yes, I didn't know you left early. When we were closing the stall yesterday, we found out someone was falsifying the accounts!"
What?
Xiao Yue was stunned for a second. He was totally unaware. "Who is cooking the books?"
"Oh, it's said that an old man who was farthest from the three entrances and exits asked his grandson to secretly put money into the purse yesterday, but he was arrested on the spot by the official!"
Sister Luo described it vividly, as if she had seen it on the spot, but in fact it was just information she had just heard.
But this news is true, otherwise why would the inspection be so strict today?
Xiao Yue was really a little surprised. One could imagine that in such a large Linxiping and such a large event, there would inevitably be some problems.
Can you cook the books?
That’s too bold!
