Sure enough, before 3 p.m., Guifangzhai was already packed! Xie Dazui stood by the counter to maintain order!
"Hey! Neighbors, listen to me—" she yelled at the top of her lungs, her voice cracking, "Everyone who registered this morning will get a share! It's over 60 kilograms, so it's guaranteed to be enough!"
You guys, please go to the teahouse across the street and have some tea and wait for a while. As soon as three o'clock comes, we will start selling on time. Our store still needs to do business, right?
Aunt Zhou, your vegetable basket is about to be squashed, please stop squeezing it!"
After much persuasion, Xie Da Jiao finally managed to convince this group of early fans of Flower Cake.
Although everyone was itching to go in, they didn't block the store. They scattered at the door in groups of three or four, but none of them were willing to go far.
Uncle Zhang produced a small stool from somewhere, sat down at the door of the store with his walking stick across his knees.
Some people couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Hey, Old Zhang, this is so unkind! We agreed on three o'clock, why did you reserve a seat in advance?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head proudly: "What do you know? This is called being polite. First come, first served!"
As he said that, he moved the small stool forward. No matter what you say, it doesn't work!
Lao Wang had no choice but to squat on the steps next to him.
The two old men started arguing with each other.
"Old Zhang, you're all alone. Can you finish all the food you bought?"
Hey! What you said is really funny. I am alone? I have a lot of close friends. If I can't finish it, can't I give it to my friends? I still think this little bit of cake is not enough to share!
Several women, carrying baskets, stood beneath the locust tree, their eyes constantly glancing into the shop. Aunt Zhou had almost picked all the celery, and it wasn't time yet.
The guy at the teahouse across the street was the smartest. He just moved a tea table and placed it on the side of the road: "Everyone, come and try our newly arrived spring tea!"
In a short time, more than ten bowls of tea were sold, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Xie Da Jiao would occasionally poke his head out from the crack of the door and say, "Wait a little longer! It'll be ready soon!"
Finally, just after three o'clock, Xie Dazui called them in to get the cakes!
As the crowds grew, a line formed. Uncle Zhang, relying on his thick skin, was the first one in line.
As soon as Xie Dazui finished speaking, he went to the counter. Xie Dajiao held back her laughter and packed the food for him according to the weight on the receipt.
Uncle Zhang took the oil-paper bag, raised his chin high, and walked out with a smug look on his face.
When he passed by Uncle Wang, who was a few heads behind, he deliberately shook the pancake and let out a smug snort from his nose!
Old Wang was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "What are you bragging about! Who can't buy it?"
Guifangzhai worked for most of the day and finally sent these distinguished guests away. Xie Dazui then held a thick stack of orders in his hand.
Xie Dazui held another thick stack of order papers in his hand!
This made everyone laugh and cry. It seemed that the pear tree at the door would be plucked out by their store!
——
Li Guifang was pushing another plate of cakes into the furnace when a harsh and picky voice came from outside!
"Hey, the things you buy in your store are so fancy, where did you pick up this packaging?"
Sun Li stood at the counter, pointing at the red and purple wrapping paper that Xie Dazui had brought out, as if she had seen something filthy and unsightly. "Red and green, what a mess! Is that all you have for aesthetic taste? You don't even think it's shabby!"
Xie Dazui was speechless. "Lady, you thought the kraft paper was too plain and low-quality, so I specially replaced it with a few more layers of paper and gave you colored paper..."
"Colored paper?" Sun Li interrupted sharply. "How dare you call this scrap of paper colored paper? I'm giving it to someone! It's so shabby, it'd be embarrassing to show it to them!"
As they were arguing, Li Guifang came out from the kitchen wiping her hands. It was Sun Li she saw. Oh, the Ji family, everyone has some problems!
"Comrade Wang, you must be kidding. The main feature of our shop is that the food is cheap and delicious. We spend all our money on real ingredients. How can we afford other expensive packaging?
You like beautiful packaging, so how about this, if you pay extra, I'll buy it and make it look nice for you?
As long as you have enough money, you can go to space and see the stars!
When Sun Li heard this, she was immediately furious, her voice suddenly rising: "Ridiculous! I paid for something here, and you charge extra for the packaging? What kind of shady shop rules are these?!"
Li Guifang was being polite, considering there were other customers in the store. Unexpectedly, Sun Li was getting aggressive, and she was just about to scold her politely.
But Xie Dazui looked at her Fang and thought, "Don't be so arrogant!" and he immediately got angry!
"Hey, isn't our kraft paper and yellow rope packaging packaging? You want gold-plated and silver-stamped packaging? Our small business can't afford it."
He deliberately raised his voice so that the other customers could hear clearly, "Besides, if you really don't like our 'country bumpkin' store, go out and turn right to the Overseas Chinese Store. The imported biscuit boxes there are quite beautiful.
I just wonder if it can compare to our 'humble' croissants, is it as good as them? "
Sun Li choked and her face turned red.
There were other customers in the store, and they made low laughs, which made Sun Li's face look even worse.
Did she really want to buy this shabby croissant? If Ji Ke hadn't said that gifts should include croissants, the croissants from Guifangzhai in Ji City would be the most famous!
She refused to come even though they asked her to. This person had blackmailed their Guifangzhai time and again!
"Wrap it up!" She practically squeezed the words out through her teeth. Perhaps it was her shoes that pinched her feet, but the tiles on the floor made a thumping sound. "Remember to use new paper!"
After seeing Sun Li off, Li Guifang wiped the flour off her hands and smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits: "Big Mouth, our Guifangzhai is finally making some progress!"
