"Yes, our boss is really the best I have ever seen."
…
Listening to their praise, Shen Li smiled without saying anything. All her efforts were for a purpose. She only hoped that they would not betray her, otherwise...
The paper posted outside the store was also seen by some people. They had known about the store decoration for a long time, but they still didn't know what it was for.
"Hey, look, it says on this piece of paper: 20% off when you shop in the store, and a free pot of milk tea for every five taels of silver you spend. What is this milk tea?"
"Yeah, this is both milk and tea, how can it taste good?"
"Milk tea, is it the milk tea that those barbarians in the north drink?"
"I don't know. Didn't they say it's open tomorrow morning? I'll come and take a look tomorrow."
"Um."
The food was delivered soon. Since they were going to open the next morning, they were not allowed to drink. However, the dishes they ordered were not cheap, costing two taels of silver for a table. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
There were not enough rooms here, so Chen Li took her family back to the house on Chunhui Road. Because she had informed the manager, the manager had cleaned up the yard and rooms early in the morning.
The next morning, around the beginning of the Si hour, Shen Changshan finally arrived with a sign.
"Hey, everyone, please make way, make way..."
With the two waiters beside him, they finally squeezed in. The waiters set up the ladder and climbed up neatly. They hung up the sign and covered it with a red cloth so that people could not see the words on it clearly.
"Hey, the sun is out, why isn't it open yet?"
"Yes, this fragrance is everywhere this morning, and it makes the children at home cry!"
"Hey, boss, when will it open?"
Shen Changshan was wearing a dark brown robe today. When he heard someone ask this, he quickly replied, "It's almost there. Please wait a little longer."
Soon, the shop door was opened from the inside, and the servant took out the firecrackers prepared in advance. With the crackling sound of firecrackers, Shen Changshan announced the name of the newly opened shop.
"Half a day off?"
"Hey, that's an interesting name."
"Hey, look, the decoration of this store is quite interesting!"
"Everyone, we're open for half a day today. All cakes and pastries in the store are 20% off. Quantities are limited, so first come, first served."
Immediately afterwards, Lianxiang came out with a tray in her hand and a plate of pastries with bamboo sticks on it, smiling.
"You can try the flavor first, and if you want to buy it, you can go in and buy it."
Upon hearing this, the few people in front stepped forward to take one to try, and their eyes lit up after eating it.
"This tastes good and is suitable for the elderly and children at home. How much is it?" He walked in while talking.
The waiter beside him hurried forward to greet him, "Sir, what you just ate was a kind of egg cake from our family, 500 coins per pound."
The man paused slightly, but then remembered that there was a 20% discount today, so it only cost 400 Wen, which he could use to buy some to comfort his children at home.
"Give me a pound."
“Okay!”
Of course, many people at the door backed off when they heard that the egg cake cost 500 wen per pound. What kind of family could afford such an expensive cake?
There was no change in the expressions of Shen Changshan and Lianxiang at the door, because they had known this would happen.
As a result, out of the dozens of people gathered, only 10 people walked into the store, which was already very good.
After a while, a servant came forward to try a piece, and immediately packed up two kilograms to take away.
Chen Li saw it from above with a smile on her face. The main customers of this shop were wealthy families. Xiao Si was obviously a servant. If he found something good, he would naturally take it back to his master.
An hour had passed. Many people stopped at the door to look at the paintings hanging in the store, but not many people walked into the store. However, the fragrance of the cakes always filled the air, always attracting people.
Not long after, an exquisite carriage stopped at the door. "Miss, the fragrance is strongest here. This must be the shop."
A delicate hand lifted the car curtain and looked into the newly opened shop. "Half a day of leisure, stealing half a day of leisure from the busy life,"
She stepped out of the carriage, draped in a white fox fur cape. Her round face was delicate and lovely, still showing some baby fat. "Let's go in and take a look."
Bai Yao, who was standing by the counter, had already noticed the commotion and immediately came forward. "Miss, please come to the private room on the second floor."
"Um"
She did not refuse and followed Bai Yao upstairs to a private room called Anxiang. As soon as she entered, the first thing she felt was the warm air, followed by the wintersweet painting and the pots of wintersweet hanging on the wall of the room.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and Bai Yao smiled slightly when she saw this. The hairpin in this young lady's hair was in the shape of a plum blossom, and even the cloak on her body was embroidered with plum blossoms, so that's why she was brought here.
The maid beside her took off her cloak and sat her down. Bai Yao handed her a menu and said, "Miss, what do you need?"
Thinking about what I had seen on the way upstairs, I said, "Give me a mille-feuille, petit fours, and soufflé."
"OK."
Bai Yao retreated and came to the backyard. She heard the host serve Anxiang a cup of milk tea while serving the dishes. The others didn't quite understand what he said, but they still did as he was told.
A quarter of an hour later, all the desserts were served. "Miss, we're opening a new store. This is some milk tea for you."
"Um."
After the people left, the coldness on her face immediately disappeared. She picked up a small piece of thousand-layer cake with a fork and said to the maid beside her, "This is delicious. I'll pack two portions for mother and sister later."
"Yes, miss."
She had obviously long been accustomed to her young lady's two-faced behavior in public and behind other people.
After taking two mouthfuls, his curious gaze shifted to the milk tea. He picked up the cup and took a sip. His eyes widened as he drank several mouthfuls in a row.
Seeing this, the maid beside her didn't understand anything, so she resigned herself to her fate and went out to order another cup of milk tea for her.
"Winter Frost," she pointed at the menu, "this, this, this, I want two takeaways, and two pots of milk tea."
"Yes, miss."
Dongshuang went downstairs to buy cakes for her young lady, took the food box from the carriage, and paid the money at the same time.
"Ten taels and two qian in all."
"Well, put the packed ones in here."
"OK."
When she returned to the box, she saw her mistress standing in front of a pot of red plum blossoms. Knowing that her mistress always liked plum blossoms, she just stood there quietly without disturbing her.
She didn't leave with Dong Shuang until the packaged pastries were delivered.
"Boss!"
Chen Li was sitting in the last room on the third floor, which was a specially separated office. Bai Yao rushed in with an excited look on her face.
"So happy?"
"Yeah," Bai Yao nodded vigorously, "I originally thought the price was a bit high, but I didn't expect these ladies to not even blink after hearing the price."
