Chapter 146 There is something wrong with the osmanthus cake
"I've heard that the portable osmanthus cakes there are convenient and delicious, but the distance was too far before. These are good, and I can eat as much as I want." The man said as he picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and examined it carefully.
Xu Miaomiao also responded and said, "We considered this before, so we thought about opening a branch, so that even the people in the village can eat our food."
“Not bad, not bad.”
People were coming and going in the store, and it seemed like the first day was the first time Xu Miaomiao's store had been trampled to pieces. Song Weiwei at the front desk was almost too busy to count the bills, and finally sat down on a chair after a group of customers left: "There are too many customers today."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang swept the dust off the shelf with a feather duster in her hand and then spoke: "This is the business we are in. It is a good thing to have more people. This way, we can sell our products."
"Tomorrow I will find two long-term workers to help here, and we will have an easier time."
Xu Miaomiao said that Xuguo had always been busy at the department store, but he was young and that was our cooking place, so naturally he needed to keep an eye on it more.
"Yeah." Song Weiwei nodded like a chick. If someone came to help her, she would of course be happy to do so.
"Hello, is anyone else there?"
The man was wearing a hat and a white scarf around his neck. He didn't look like he was from here, and even his accent was a little different.
"Yes." Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and responded: "Excuse me, what do you need?"
"I just saw someone outside holding a small bag with some delicious pastries in it. He said he bought it here." The man looked at Xu Miaomiao and tried his best to describe what he had just seen.
Xu Miaomiao nodded and took him to the shelf nearby: "Yes, these are it."
Looking at the dazzling array of pastries, the man was dazzled and immediately opened one and put it in his mouth to taste it.
The pastry spread in the mouth as soon as it entered the mouth, and the sweet taste made people want to go back and forth. The man waved his hand and said immediately: "My caravan shuttles here to deliver goods, and every time I eat it, I can finally eat what is written in the book."
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly. She opened the store here to attract more people, so that passers-by could also buy things. This would promote the reputation of the department store and expand the store, killing two birds with one stone.
The man looted all the pastries on the shelves. Song Weiwei was so tired from counting the money but she was still happy.
"It looks like we have to go to the pastry shop to get some goods tomorrow." Xu Miaomiao said as she looked at the empty shop. Their family's pastries have always been made together with the pastries from Guihuafang, and now they have become rich together.
"Someone come here." The crowd who were about to close the stall were disturbed by the noise and hurriedly gathered together. The man was holding a half-packed osmanthus cake in his hand and looked at everyone and said, "There's something wrong with your food."
"What's the problem?" Song Weiwei stepped forward and spoke in dissatisfaction when she heard this.
The man took two bags of osmanthus cake and said to Song Weiwei, "Look for yourself."
Looking in the direction, there was indeed something wrong with the pastry in the man's hand. There was a little more osmanthus filling on one side, while the filling on the other side was pitifully little, only the size of a fingernail.
Xu Miaomiao also noticed that something was wrong with the osmanthus cake, so she immediately went forward to check it out. After discovering the cause, she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my stuff that has a problem. It's all our fault. How about I return it to you at the original price?"
The seriousness on the man's face finally relaxed a little, and he looked at Xu Miaomiao and nodded: "Okay."
After getting the money, the man left.
"Miao Miao, what's going on?" Gu Yuanniang asked while looking at the two pastries of different sizes in her hand.
Xu Miaomiao stared at the cakes and her face darkened: "You guys go back first, I'll go ask."
Having said that, he turned and left.
When we arrived at the market, the bustling shops were all calling out to customers, but the Osmanthus Shop nearby seemed a little deserted.
Xu Miaomiao stood in front of Osmanthus House. Xiao Si inside stood up dissatisfiedly, looked at her and said, "What do you want to order?"
The perfunctory tone was obvious, and Xu Miaomiao didn't have time to care about his attitude. She just said softly: "Give me some osmanthus cake."
Xiao Si picked up the oil paper and started to wrap it with dissatisfaction, and finally threw it to Xu Miaomiao: "One hundred coins."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the greasy pastries, frowned and handed over the silver.
He walked to the side and opened the pastries. As expected, some had large fillings, some had small fillings, and there was even one without any filling. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao's frown never relaxed. It seemed that the problem was with the pastry shop.
"Madam Xu, why are you here?"
I heard a male voice coming from behind me. I turned around and saw that it was the owner of the pastry shop.
Xu Miaomiao did not intend to hide it, and immediately took out the cakes of different sizes in her hand: "Boss, when we cooperated, we agreed that you would provide the goods and I would package them, but the sizes of your osmanthus cakes are different, which really makes it difficult for me to make them."
Seeing the cake in Xu Miaomiao's hand, the man's face suddenly changed. He immediately took the cake and walked towards the Ghost Talk House. Looking at Xiao Si who was slacking off, he scolded him: "What are you doing!"
Xiao Si was also startled when he saw the person coming. He quickly stood up and looked at the man and said, "Boss, you are here like this."
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't know that you were cutting corners." As he said that, he threw the pastry in his hand heavily in front of Xiao Si.
Xu Miaomiao stood behind her and watched coldly. In their industry, cutting corners is a taboo, not to mention that the problem was in her shop.
When Xiao Si saw Xu Miaomiao following behind him, he quickly said, "Is it you? You are the one who told our shopkeeper, right?"
He looked so angry that it seemed as if he would rush over and tear Xu Miaomiao to pieces in the next second.
The shopkeeper saw this and angrily slapped the man to the ground: "My small workshop can't accommodate you, please leave."
Xiao Si still wanted to beg for mercy, but looking at the man's determined eyes, he could only leave while cursing.
"Madam Xu, it's my fault for not supervising the personnel well, which has caused you trouble. Don't worry, I will never let this happen again." The man looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke in a flattering tone.
Xu Miaomiao also politely took a step back: "Shopkeeper, you are polite, but I am afraid that I can no longer continue to perform this contract with you."
"Ms. Xu, please think about it. It's really that Xiao Si's problem, not my pastries." The man asked pleadingly. He didn't want to lose Xu Miaomiao, a big customer.
