Chapter 122 How to seduce?
"This is wife cake, and this is meat floss cake. They are both new products in our shop!"
As Jiang Tangtang spoke, he took out the samples he had prepared in advance and handed them to everyone, saying, "Everyone try it. If it tastes good, then buy it!"
Fresh foods such as meat floss cakes and wife cakes are cut into small pieces with a knife and inserted with many bamboo sticks, which is clean and convenient.
Everyone present reached out and took a bite. Some people thought it was delicious and immediately asked the price.
Jiang Tangtang announced loudly, "We're opening today, and all cakes and pastries are 20% off! Top up 100 taels to become a member of the cake shop, and you'll get 20% off every cake and pastry you buy in our shop. We'll also give you great gifts every Spring Festival!"
After the incident at Jiuxia Silver House, people were no longer unfamiliar with membership. But to top up a hundred taels just to buy a cake was a bit too shocking.
There are not many people who become members, but there are many people who buy cakes.
Although the cakes in the cake shop are expensive, they taste really delicious.
Moreover, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and most people are willing to spend money. Almost everyone who comes here will buy something to take away.
Those who are willing to spend money buy new products such as wife cakes, meat floss cakes, and rose cakes.
If you don’t want to spend money, you can buy some cheap snacks like glutinous rice noodles and cat ears.
Snacks like glutinous rice noodles and cat ears, which were previously supplied to Baiweizhai, have long lost their novelty in the county town. Jiang Tangtang buys them at a much lower price, selling them by the kilogram.
The cakes at the cake shop are more delicious and more affordable, so people from the county town who want to buy cakes flock there.
At the beginning, Jiang Tangtang and Li Xiangchen were the only ones greeting customers in the front, while Su was collecting money on the side.
Later, there were too many people and they couldn't handle it at all, so Lu Zhixi and Lu Shili came over to help.
Most of the cakes prepared earlier were sold out. Zhang Lu and Du Mudan were busy in the kitchen, sending the cakes over as soon as they were ready. Even so, there was still not enough to sell.
Jiang Tangtang also went to the kitchen to help.
After Jiang Tangtang left, there was simply too much work to do.
Fortunately, they heard that the Lu family shop was opening today, so Xia Zhirong, Zhao Shi, and Wang Shi came to help. The two sisters-in-law originally wanted to come and do odd jobs and help with some rough work.
As a result, he was directly dragged by Su to entertain customers in the shop. Xia Zhirong was not good at speaking and did not know how to attract customers, so he took the initiative to maintain order on the side.
With the help of several people, the shop was finally not as messy as before.
The cake and pastry shop is doing a booming business, which makes the food shops next door jealous.
Especially the shop selling snacks, candied fruits, saw that the pastry shop was packed with people inside and outside, and everyone was moving things in and out as if they were free, but his own shop was deserted, with not even a fly. He was so angry that his face was twisted.
He stood outside the shop with his hands on his hips, cursing and saying sarcastic words.
Not to mention that the owner of the dim sum shop next door was very unhappy and kept cursing the cake shop to go bankrupt soon. The same was true for the father and son who were the shopkeeper Song of Baiweizhai.
After studying for these days, Song Wenfu still hasn't managed to make the egg yolk pastry.
However, because the snacks he made, such as glutinous rice noodles, were not as good as those made by Jiang Tangtang, diners lost their novelty after eating them a few times and bought less of them.
The father and son lost a large sum of money and blamed it all on Jiang Tangtang.
Originally, the two of them blamed Jiang Tangtang in their hearts because General Song took a liking to her cooking skills, but they didn't dare to cause any trouble.
But she didn't expect that she didn't go to the Song Mansion, but opened a pastry shop, and her business is so booming.
"Dad, I see she's hired a lot of people in her shop. How about I go out with them?"
Song Wenfu initially refused to admit that he could not compare to Jiang Tangtang, but after trying for so long and failing to make the egg yolk pastry, and Jiang Tangtang's shop had just opened, and there were so many pastries that he had never seen before, he now had to admit in his heart that he could not compare to her.
However, he was not the type to give up just because he couldn't win. Instead, he started to have some bad thoughts.
"What can a servant understand?" Shopkeeper Song judged Jiang Tangtang by his own experience and felt that Jiang Tangtang would not give the recipe to his servants.
His cloudy eyes rolled around a few times and he said, "Go and find out quietly why Jiang didn't go to work as a cook in General Song's mansion, but instead opened a shop."
Song Wenfu quickly found out and said, "Dad, that Jiang is really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. The steward of the Song Mansion personally went to her house to invite her to work as a cook in the Song Mansion, and even offered a high price of over a thousand taels of silver, but she actually refused."
"With her ability, she can easily earn thousands of gold coins every day. Naturally, she doesn't care about the salary offered by the Song Mansion."
Shopkeeper Song sneered and said disdainfully, "What a short-sighted woman! She dares to offend General Song and thinks her shop can survive in the county."
"Dad, since she's offended General Song, why don't we just go all out and kidnap her?"
Shopkeeper Song thought about the first time he met Lu Shiyan and subconsciously wanted to reject it, but then he heard his son say, "I heard her husband went to the army, and apart from her brother-in-law, there are only a room full of women left at home."
Shopkeeper Song finally nodded, and Song Wenfu left excitedly.
As long as Jiang is arrested and tortured, are we still afraid that she won't hand over the prescription?
As for that very scary man from the Jiang family, I'm afraid he has already died in the barracks. What is there to be afraid of?
At this moment, Lu Shiyan, who was treated as a dead man by Song Wenfu, was bringing his men to the navy dock.
To suppress pirates, warships are naturally indispensable.
However, the warships assigned to Lu Shiyan by General Song could not be called warships at all. They were all old ships that were almost obsolete, and the weapons were even worse. There were even rusty iron knives inside.
Xie Xin was furious when he saw this. "That bastard, why is he asking us to fight pirates with a bunch of junk? I think he's not asking us to fight pirates, he's asking us to die."
Xie Xin is the deputy assigned to Lu Shiyan by General Song.
Although this person is capable, he is a troublemaker who refuses to obey orders and has contradicted General Song many times.
Lu Shiyan had long been aware of the discord between the two of them, and at this moment he raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this obvious?"
Xie Xin dropped the rusty sword in his hand and gave Lu Shiyan a critical look. "Are you just going to die like this?"
"What about you? Are you willing to die?" Lu Shiyan asked instead of answering.
"I'm not stupid!" Xie Xin cursed, "That bastard General Song, I'm going to kill him when I get back!"
After cursing, Xie Xin calmed down.
He had never been afraid of charging into battle in his life. But even if he wasn't afraid, the reality was there.
Seventy percent of the team are new recruits who have just joined the army, and the equipment may be swallowed by the sea before they find the pirates.
That's it, how to fight!
Even if he prided himself on being smart, he felt a little worried for a moment. He grabbed a handful of hair and looked at Lu Shiyan, who was calm and composed, and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Lu Shiyan said concisely: "Lure the enemy deep into our territory!"
"How to lure them?" Xie Xin asked, "This isn't an army battle, this is a fight against pirates. Who knows where they're hiding?"
