"Okay!" Ling Jiheng agreed.
Three days later, early in the morning, the Ling family dressed up in new clothes.
They were divided into two groups and went to the "Daily Sweet Bakery" and "Daily Fresh Vegetable Store" to prepare for the opening ceremony.
Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue naturally went to the bakery.
The old lady took the others to the vegetable store to take charge.
Shu Muyun and Ling Weicheng were waiting for the results at home.
The entrances of the two shops were already crowded with people.
Just because there was a notice posted at the door saying that there would be a 50% discount and a raffle in the first three days of opening.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of store this was and why it was so grand!
The vegetables needed for the opening were delivered as early as last night.
This morning, the old lady picked two baskets of strawberries as prizes for everyone to taste.
It’s a pity that the tomatoes and watermelons haven’t grown yet, otherwise, the whole city would be set off in an instant.
When the old lady got off the bus, she was a little frightened by the huge crowd.
He happily entered the courtyard from the back door and asked the servants, "Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, old lady, we are all ready.
Look, the Chinese cabbage, lettuce, romaine lettuce, and mushrooms are all placed according to their portions.
One portion is one pound, so there won’t be too many people to handle it later. Now they say they are too busy.
The raffle box is ready too, with coupons for free meals, 50% off bakery coupons, two pounds of tomatoes for free, and 20% off large watermelons."
The old lady smiled and nodded, thinking that her granddaughter-in-law was amazing and took care of all the subsequent business.
I suddenly wanted to go to the bakery, but I wonder if it’s crowded there!
Compared to the vegetable shop, the bakery certainly didn't have as many people as this place. But those waiting there were all from wealthy families.
Chi Xingyue did not hold a trial operation, nor did he even promote it in advance.
Her pastries are a fusion of Chinese and Western styles, and have unparalleled advantages.
Therefore, we plan to give customers a shock on the opening day.
Chunzhi, Chunfen, Li Zhi, several other pastry chefs, and waiters arrived at the pastry shop last night to make preparations.
The two-story building is divided into four areas.
The first floor is the kitchen and display area.
The second floor is a place for guests to chat, drink tea and eat cakes.
There is a small stage, but no performances are scheduled yet.
Just make the environment fresh and pleasant.
Haruori and the others placed the freshly baked bread and cakes on the wooden display rack.
It's neat and tidy and looks particularly appetizing.
It's a pity that there was no glass in the Zhou Dynasty. So the hygiene can only be compromised.
Next to each display stand, there is a label with the name and price of the pastry written on it.
There are meat floss bread, walnut brioche, apple pie, and cream cake.
There are also walnut cakes, mung bean cakes, pea yellow cakes, and wife cakes.
The price ranges from fifty wen to ten taels of silver.
There is also a long counter next to it, which is used by the shopkeeper to collect money and take a rest.
Behind the counter is a craft rack with various small items on it.
There are mugs, koi fish made of silk and cotton, tea leaves in bamboo tubes, as well as pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.
These are all prizes for a raffle.
On the other side is the kitchen.
In addition to the three fire ovens, there is also a stove where you can cook other things.
Although the name of this shop says "pastry", it actually makes other snacks as well.
After all, customers' needs are ever-changing. If they want fried peanuts, can they still say no?
Besides, fried chicken smells so good! Didn’t you see how many more people were outside the moment it came out of the wok?
Chi Xingyue almost rushed out of the car and rushed into the store to eat first.
It was all about business, so she had to suppress her desires. She parked the cart and went in through the back door.
By the way, in order to do business better, Yinbao begged and persuaded everyone to buy a small courtyard behind the bakery.
The condition is to find them a larger yard.
Chi Xingyue didn't care and let Yinbao do it.
Then they made some minor renovations to the courtyard, and just like that, they had a parking lot and staff dormitories.
The first thing Chi Xingyue said when she entered the room was the same as the old lady, asking if everyone was ready.
Chunzhi smiled and said, "Madam, the cakes are ready. We are just waiting for the auspicious time."
Chunfen raised her hand: "I'm not sure how the customer flow is today. Chunyin is making strawberry candied haws.
Second Young Master Madam, would you like to try it first?"
"Me, want to try it?" Chi Xingyue raised his hand and pointed at himself, feeling a little tempted.
Chunzhi left with a smile, took a porcelain plate from the counter, picked up a fried chicken leg for her, and put a few candied strawberries on it.
Chi Xingyue smiled and picked up a piece of candied strawberry and put it in her mouth. As she chewed it, she squinted her eyes happily.
“Wow, so delicious!”
The sweet and sour taste of strawberries, coupled with the crispy syrup, will make you fly with happiness in this sunny spring.
Eat chicken legs after eating strawberries.
The chicken legs are from domestic roosters, which are tender, soft and juicy.
After being marinated with special seasoning, coated with breadcrumbs, and fried twice, it becomes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
In addition, there are fried chicken wings, fried chicken fillets, braised chicken feet, braised chicken necks, and braised chicken hearts.
Apart from throwing away chicken necks and chicken intestines, which are not eaten often, there is nothing wasted.
After Chi Xingyue had her fill of food, she went to the door to prepare.
Since they couldn't find a suitable manager at the moment, Ling Qi and Ling Ba volunteered to be the managers of the two stores.
In their words, "Since I have nothing to do at home, I might as well make use of my own value."
What could Chi Xingyue do? Of course he agreed.
Ling Jiheng's subordinates are talented, handsome, knowledgeable, and able to keep things under control.
Before Ling Jiheng passed the imperial examination, before they brought down Xu Daquan, and before they trained a suitable shopkeeper, the appearance of the two was like a surprise.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was the eve of the auspicious time.
Ling Qi asked Li Zhi and Li Mu to open the door.
A group of people came out with smiles on their faces. Ling Qi stood in the middle and gestured with a bow, "Welcome everyone to the Daily Sweet Bakery. I'm Ling Qi, the owner of the bakery.
The store opens today, all merchandise is half price, and there is also a lottery. Any customer who spends five taels of silver or more will have a chance to enter the lottery.
If the amount of spending reaches ten taels, there will be two chances to draw the lottery. And so on, there will be no empty prizes.
Daily Sweet Bakery has prepared many surprises for everyone, and everyone is welcome to shop as much as they want. "
After he finished speaking, he signaled Li Zhi and Li Mu to light the firecrackers.
The crowd stepped back at the right moment, and the crackling sound made it sound lively.
Ling Jiheng stood aside and pulled off the red silk covering the sign.
After the firecrackers stopped, he half-hugged Chi Xingyue into the room. The two stood behind the counter to control the situation.
Ling Qi loudly introduced the products of the bakery and asked Li Zhi to take out the samples.
“Our shop is innovative and has many pastries that other shops don’t have.
Now, this is called bread, and it's made with wheat flour, eggs, sugar, and other ingredients. Dear customers, welcome to try it! "
