Yuan Yao had experienced the unfair treatment of customers by dividing them into different classes in modern times.
She's had her share of being given the cold shoulder and criticized by shop assistants even when she bought something but spent less...
That feeling is definitely not pleasant.
Now that she's the one running the shop, she absolutely won't allow this to happen!
Shopkeeper Bai stared at the little girl for a moment, his mouth slightly agape, then said with shame, "Princess, my vision was too narrow..."
Yuan Yao's expression softened: "Actually, you can't be blamed for this."
That's pretty much the general atmosphere in Beijing.
Tomorrow, as soon as the National Academy reopens, I will go to study.
However, after school in the afternoon, I will come to Si Shi Chun to take some time to give the staff some sales training.
Manager Bai solemnly replied, "Princess, rest assured, Si Shi Chun will never discriminate against its customers!"
Yuan Yao nodded: "I'll trouble Uncle Bai to make it spring all year round."
The two chatted casually for a while longer.
At this moment, Aqi helped Yunchan down from upstairs.
Ah Qi smiled and said, "Princess, we should go now!"
"Are you leaving already?" Yuan Yao's gaze fell on Yun Chan's pale face, and she couldn't help but worry: "The sun is getting strong, why don't you leave in the evening?"
"It's alright, I'm not that delicate," Yun Chan said, covering her mouth as she coughed.
Not at all spoiled!
My eyes are red from coughing!
Yuan Yao said, "Then go back to the palace and get some rest. See you tomorrow!"
"Mm." Yun Chan nodded.
After seeing Yun Chan off, Yuan Yao went to the backyard.
Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan were being guided by Yu'er in the kitchen, helping out, or rather... making things worse.
The two rolled up their sleeves and began whipping cream with great effort.
Every now and then, he would reach out and dip his hand in cream, smearing it all over the other person's face.
Yuan Yao: "..."
Did you two little brats wash your hands?
dislike!
Yuan Yao spoke up: "Are you two planning to stay and work for Si Shi Chun?"
I can't afford to pay your wages!
She gave all the little money she had left to Xie Ning as travel expenses!
Xie Zhi raised his head, wiped his forehead on his elbow, and smiled, revealing his newly grown teeth: "Little Yao'er, do you think Lin Xiaohouye and I look like we're short of money?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
She remembered hearing those words just now.
Yuan Yao straightened her skirt, walked up to the two of them, and sat down on a small stool.
She glanced at the cream: "This needs to be whipped a bit more."
"Really?" Lin Xuan stretched out a finger, ran it along the edge of the bowl, and put it in his mouth. "I think it's pretty good."
Yuan Yao: "?"
It even reached out its paw to poke!
Did you taste it as you beat it?
Yuan Yao said disdainfully, "Lin Xuan, this bowl of cream is for you. You have to take it with you when you go home!"
"Take it with you?" Lin Xuan hesitated, staring at the cream in the bowl. "How much is this?"
"It's free! Who wants to take your money?" Yuan Yao said irritably.
She looked at Xie Zhi: "Take your potted plant with you too!"
It's already covered in saliva, are you really going to sell it?
It's filthy!
Xie Zhi asked in confusion, "Just now, I asked Yu'er, and she said that if she wanted to know if the sweetness was suitable, she should try it."
Don't they try it?
Yuan Yao immediately looked at the eunuchs who were engrossed in whipping cream: "Are you tasting the cream as you whip it??"
Yuan Yao was utterly shocked.
Her clear, black-and-white eyes were wide open.
The eunuchs all looked up and shook their heads in alarm: "Your Highness, we have never tasted it!"
These sugars were all weighed out according to the specified amounts and poured in while beating.
"Really?" Xie Zhi was astonished.
Lin Xuan's face darkened: "I'm not doing this anymore."
They realized belatedly that they had been deceived.
Just then, Yu'er entered the room.
Upon seeing Yu'er, Xie Zhi said irritably, "Sister Yu'er, you just said that the sweetness of this cream should be tasted as it's whipped?"
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you lie to us?"
Yu'er was taken aback for a moment before laughing and saying, "Young Master, Young Marquis, this servant is innocent!"
Isn't this cream for you to eat yourselves?
Since that's the case, you can add the sugar yourselves.
So that's how it is.
Yuan Yao clapped his hands and smiled politely: "Thank you, Young Master Xie and Young Marquis Lin. The cream is almost whipped. Please wait outside."
"Little Yao'er, are you trying to drive us away?" Xie Zhi grinned.
“Yes!” Yuan Yao said seriously, “You two have been staying in Sishichun for so long. If you don’t go back soon, the Prince’s Mansion and the Marquis’s Mansion will send people to arrest you!”
Besides, I'm so busy today, I don't have time to spend with you.
"Did Yun Chan go back?" Xie Zhi asked.
Yuan Yao: "?"
So, the reason these two have been hanging around here, looking for things to do, is because Yun Chan is here.
Tsk tsk!
Little brat, do you even have to compare this?
Yuan Yao said, "Yun Chan has already returned to the palace, you should all go home too!"
"You should have said so earlier! I should have gone back to practice my sword! I'm already half a day late today!" Xie Zhi put down the bowl of whipped cream and stood up.
The waiter quickly brought the two of them clean water to wash their hands.
While the two were washing their hands, Yuan Yao called Yu'er over: "Sister Yu'er, all this cream has been used to make desserts. Take them back for the young master and the young marquis."
Also, give them both some of the desserts I made today.
They got up at dawn to deliver her a congratulatory gift for her opening and helped her in various ways, so we can't slack off.
Yu'er smiled and said, "This servant understands."
When Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan left, each of them carried a lot of desserts.
After seeing them off, Yuan Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shopkeeper Bai said, "Princess, just now two more gentlemen sent their servants over to buy a lot of desserts to take away."
"Really?" Yuan Yao was quite pleased.
Shopkeeper Bai smiled and said, "Those who came today are probably all acquaintances."
"Aren't any pedestrians coming to the door?" Yuan Yao asked.
"Yes..." Manager Bai was also a little worried when he talked about this.
Those five spoiled brats had already gone out to promote it, but the results didn't seem to be ideal.
The common people have always maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards spring.
Even if they said there was free food, no one dared to come in.
They probably felt that... those who could enter the Four Seasons Spring were all princes, marquises, and high-ranking officials in the court.
Ordinary people might think that Si Shi Chun (a type of spring tea) is very expensive and they are afraid they can't afford it.
This can't go on!
Yuan Yao immediately said, "Uncle Bai, move a glass cabinet out and put the desserts on display by the door."
"What?" Manager Bai looked surprised.
He'd never done anything like hawking his wares on the street before!
Besides, how embarrassing would that be?
Yuan Yao's little face was unusually serious: "If you want to make money, you have to put aside your pride!"
Our company, Si Shi Chun, serves everyone in the capital; we take a people-friendly approach!
Besides, they're in Sishichun, and they're not doing anything shady!
Shopkeeper Bai felt helpless, yet he also felt that what the princess said made a lot of sense...
Soon enough, a group of workers sprang into action, moving the glass display cases outside and setting them up at the entrance of the Four Seasons Spring restaurant.
A naturally smiling, fair-skinned, and adorable young woman stood beside the glass display case and announced in a clear voice, "Four Seasons Spring is now open! All desserts are free to sample! Everyone is welcome to come in and enjoy..."
With that shout, many passersby immediately came over.
Looking at the desserts in the glass display case, someone exclaimed in surprise, "These things are so beautiful! Are they really edible?"
"Here's the food!" A waiter quickly grabbed a piece of dessert and handed it over: "Please try it and see what you think?"
A crowd of onlookers was itching to make a move.
At this moment, a group of burly men with swords hanging from their waists and gloomy faces walked towards them.
