171 She Should Prepare More Cold Cakes
“That’s true. I don’t have foresight,” she said.
Cooperating with Ruyi Restaurant was something that most people didn’t even dare to think about.
Yue’er had a good relationship with Chef Liu. Some people couldn’t get such a connection even if they spent money.
“Don’t say that,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Then, they carried the table on which the wooden buckets were placed onto the ox-cart.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll go buy some buns.” Lin Xiaoyue walked towards the owner of the bun stall.
“Uncle, four steamed buns and eight meat buns! Pack the four meat buns together!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
“Alright!” The owner of the bun stall agreed with a smile.
While packing the buns for Lin Xiaoyue, he spoke to Lin Xiaoyue in an envious tone.
“I’m so jealous! I still have more than half of my buns left, but you’re already sold out.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and replied, “this is my first time setting up a stall, so I don’t have much experience. We’ve prepared too little.”
“I’ll prepare more cold cakes tomorrow. I’m sure they’ll last until noon.” She didn’t expect business to be so good.
Of course, the main reason was that she had sold it at a cheap price.
In order to save money, most people would buy more than two bowls of cold cakes at one time. In this way, the cold cakes sold out quickly.
“Hehe, you have quite a lot! It must be that they are good!” The owner of the bun stall said with a smile.
“But you really should prepare more. It’s selling too fast. I didn’t even have time to ask you to save a few bowls for me!” He was going to bring four bowls back for his family to try.
“Remember to reserve five bowls for me tomorrow.”
This girl had helped his business, so he should return the favor.
“Done! I’ll cut it up for you tomorrow and put it aside first.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Alright. Then I’ll reserve a s.p.a.ce for you tomorrow, and we’ll be neighbors from now on!” Although she took some of his business, she also attracted more people.
There were still quite a few people who bought both cold cakes and steamed buns. As a result, his business today was actually better than usual.
“Thank you, uncle!” Lin Xiaoyue said gratefully.
After paying, she carried a few bags of buns back to the ox-cart.
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue buy so many buns, Aunt w.a.n.g’s heart ached.
“You must have spent a lot of them?”
“Not much. Uncle Huang’s buns aren’t expensive.”
Seeing the look of disapproval on Aunt w.a.n.g’s face, Lin Xiaoyue smiled and went forward to lower her voice.
“Uncle Huang agreed to help me reserve a spot in the morning. He also reserved five bowls of cold cakes. Isn’t it easier for us to get along if we do business together and take care of each other?”
As Lin Xiaoyue spoke, she gave Aunt w.a.n.g a knowing look.
Sure enough, the look of disapproval in her eyes disappeared, and the way she looked at Lin Xiaoyue also turned into admiration.
“I still have to go buy some vegetables and meat. Aunt, do you have anything you want to buy?” A hint of hesitation flashed in Aunt w.a.n.g’s eyes.
“I don’t need vegetables, but if we pa.s.s by a grain store later, I want to buy a few pounds of brown rice noodles.”
There were a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains. They could just harvest them, but she needed grains.
In fact, the grains at home were usually bought by her husband after he got off work in town.
However, she was riding in an ox-cart with Yue-er.
If she bought some now, it would save him and Shuanzi the effort of carrying it back all the way home.
