There were more people in the cake shop at this time, and many of them were tasting really delicious cakes for the first time.
Not only that, my aunt has also innovated many kinds of pastries.
Cupcakes and cream cakes, delicacies only seen in big cities, have appeared.
It immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers and a long queue formed.
All that was prepared in the morning has been sold out, and now the oven is still running like crazy.
Many people line up to buy it because they think it tastes good.
I came back to buy some more to take home, and the line was a hundred meters long.
"Oh, when will it be my turn? The child is clamoring for this honey cake."
"Yeah, we're opening today, but we don't know how long we'll have to wait to make more."
"I'm going to wait anyway. I ate this kind of cake once in the provincial capital, but you can't buy it anywhere else."
“…”
My aunt was very busy in the store, quickly loading the cakes as soon as they were baked.
Hand the wrapped pound of cake to the guest: "Here, your honey cake!"
She had just put it on the counter, and when she turned around, she found that the cake was gone?
"Hey, where's the cake?" She looked at the counter in surprise, completely confused about what was going on.
When she looked up, she found a child wearing a hat hurriedly leaving and turned his head to look at her.
"Stop, thief!" my aunt suddenly shouted.
The cake was supposed to be for the guests, but it was snatched away in the blink of an eye.
When the child saw that he was discovered, he was so scared that he ran away.
Hearing someone shouting "Catch the thief", the customer in the queue at the back suddenly raised his foot.
"Ah!" The thief tripped and fell to the ground, holding his back and screaming in pain: "It hurts so much!"
Hearing the noise outside, Jiang Manyue immediately came out to check the situation.
"What happened?" She rushed out of the store and saw two customers in line holding a child.
"You little thief, how dare you steal things in broad daylight."
"We're all working hard to queue up, and you stole something and tried to run away."
"Let me go, I didn't steal!" the child shouted excitedly.
"Let him go first!" She went up and asked the two guests to let him go.
"Aunt, what happened?" She asked her aunt what happened.
My aunt said slowly, "I just packed a bag of honey cakes and it disappeared. This kid stole it without paying."
"A lot of people were crowding in front of the counter just now, so I packed up the cakes."
"Then I saw this kid turn around and run away. He must have stolen it."
This cake is not worth much money, but we cannot allow it to be stolen.
Jiang Manyue walked up to the child and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
He lowered his head in panic, and the loose gray cotton coat on his body looked a little too big.
It must be that the adult clothes didn't fit him well, but he looked very nervous.
Looking at his profile, she subconsciously recognized him: "Ma Xiaojun?"
I haven't seen him for half a year, and he doesn't seem to have grown much.
His pale and muscular face made his head look even bigger and more prominent.
She did not agree to the adoption before she left, so Ma Xiaojun should have been sent to an orphanage.
After all, he has no other relatives to take care of him, so why would he steal things on the street in this state?
When he saw it was Jiang Manyue, he grabbed his clothes nervously.
"Did you steal the cake?" Her cold eyes lingered on him.
"I, I didn't!" He immediately raised his voice: "Don't spit blood on me."
"Impossible!" my aunt complained. "You didn't steal anything, so why did you run away when you saw me?"
"And the cake I just put on the counter disappeared as soon as I turned around."
"You must have stolen it. Someone in the queue must have seen it."
The people in the queue looked at each other, but they didn't seem to care.
No one who was questioned said anything, after all, it was only my aunt who was shouting "Catch the thief" just now.
The guests who had just pinned the man down also looked at each other in bewilderment: "We only kept an eye on him because we heard you shouting."
"Did you see that? I didn't steal anything at all. Are you trying to slander me?"
My aunt really didn't see it, she was just making her own guess.
"But, but, that bag of cakes is indeed missing!"
"It's not me who stole it even if it's missing. There's no evidence!" Ma Xiaojun immediately turned around and left with a smug look on his face.
A bag of cakes is certainly not worth much, but it is absolutely impossible to let someone get away with stealing it.
Otherwise, anyone can follow this method in the future, so how can she run her business then?
Ma Xiaojun wanted to slip away, but Jiang Manyue grabbed him and said, "Really? Didn't you steal it?"
She looked at her bulging cotton coat and asked, "What's in your clothes?"
"What are you doing?" Ma Xiaojun covered his chest in panic.
Before he could speak, Jiang Manyue ripped open his cotton coat.
Doctor, the honey cake wrapped in brown paper fell to the ground with a "bang".
Looking at these cakes as evidence, he has no excuses.
"This, this is what I bought. I clearly gave you the money just now!"
Ma Xiaojun was not at all flustered, but expressed it arrogantly.
His aunt didn't tolerate him and picked up the cake directly: "Not only did you steal, but you also lied?"
"Did you pay? When did you show up when everyone was lining up to buy cake?"
"I didn't receive any money from you at all. I see you're trying to deny it even after being exposed."
