149 Only Two Bowls were Sold
“She’s already engaged,” he retracted his gaze and said.
Manager Liang was shocked. He turned around and looked at Chef Liu.
“What?”
“I say, don’t think about Ms. Lin anymore. She already has a fiancé.”
Looking at Manager Liang’s shocked and angry expression, Chef Liu continued, “don’t be angry, I’ve seen her fiancé before.”
“I think this is probably the reason why Chengcai is in such a hurry to leave town.” Chef Liu pretended to be deep in thought, but there was a hint of gloating in his eyes.
Manager Liang looked at Chef Liu, and his eyes were almost spitting fire.
When did this happen? What happened to his nephew?
He asked Chef Liu to keep an eye on the kid, but why did he not hear anything about this before?
Chef Liu immediately had a bad feeling.
“Aiya, I suddenly remembered that there are still many things to do in the kitchen! I’ll take my leave first!” After saying that, he quickly left.
Otherwise, he would be getting a beating.
Hehe, could it be that Chengcai was really in a hurry to leave because he was hurt?
Tsk, what a pitiful child. Of all people, he had to fall for a girl with a fiancé.
Lin Xiaoyue walked out of Ruyi Restaurant and quickened her pace towards the west of the city.
Hehe, they had agreed on 200 bowls of cold cakes, and the profit was at least 5 taels of silver.
This was just the beginning. If the cold cakes were well-received, they would definitely order more than 200 bowls a day. If she could double it to 400 bowls a day, she could earn more than 1 tael of silver per day.
In addition to the income from selling it to the villagers, it would not be much less than the profit of selling prey.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue’s steps became lighter.
When she arrived at the market, she began to look for Li Xiao and Liu Shi.
In the end, without much effort, she saw her ox-cart next to the bun stall.
Her mother and Li Xiao stood behind the table in a daze.
There were no customers around them.
This scene formed a sharp contrast with the loud bun shop next to it.
Lin Xiaoyue frowned and quickly walked over.
Liu Shi’s face was full of worry, worried that the cold cakes could not be sold. Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue had returned, her face finally lit up with hope.
“Yue’er,” She called out to her daughter.
Li Xiao also looked at Lin Xiaoyue, looking a little embarra.s.sed.
He knew what was wrong with their poor business, but they were both too shy to call out to the customers.
Moreover, with his face, if he were to really shout, there would probably not be many people who would dare to come and buy from him.
“How many have you sold?” She asked the two of them with a smile.
She looked at the wooden bucket on the table and found that there were less of them. From the looks of it, they did sell some.
A hint of embarra.s.sment flashed across Liu Shi’s face, “just…just two bowls.”
They only sold them because others had taken the initiative to ask about the cold cakes.
“This is not enough for the tax. Just now, the tax-collector came to collect tax. He said that our stall occupied a large area and collected 10 wen from us.” At this point, Liu Shi became even more worried.
This was a loss.
“It’s fine. I’ll take care of the rest. You and Li Xiao will help to wash the dishes and receive the guests,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“Oh, alright.” Liu Shi quickly said.
Li Xiao’s expression also relaxed.
“Yes,” he responded.
So, Lin Xiaoyue took over Liu Shi’s position and stood behind the table.
