Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
People passing by saw the sign at the door, and soon someone came to ask.
The eatery’s opening went quickly and smoothly.
When it was around 8am, there was a wave of people in the shop.
That’s because many people send their children to school at this time.
Thanks to Lin Xiaoyue and Aunt Wang, everyone had heard about Liu Shi’s Eatery.
Knowing that there was an event, many people went into the store and bought cold cakes to go..
Some who didn’t have breakfast even ate there.
…..
Although it’s not hot in the morning, they still wanted something cold on a summer morning.
Aunt Wang and Li Juanzi cut the cold cakes and collected money swiftly.
Liu Shi helped greet the guests in the dining area, and instructed the guests to put the bowls and spoons in the collection area after they finished eating.
Occasionally, at the request of Aunt Wang and Li Juanzi, she went to the backyard to help get more cold cakes.
As for Lin Xiaoyue, she brought the two children to welcome customers at the door.
Many of the customers knew Lin Xiaoyue. When they saw Lin Xiaoyue, they congratulated her.
There was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the shop.
Not long after, Liu Shi ran out in a hurry and told Lin Xiaoyue that the cold cakes were out.
“Don’t worry. Li Xiao should be back soon!” Lin Xiaoyue replied.
15 buckets of cold cakes sold out so fast.
But it was expected.
In order to sell more cold cakes, there were offers to buy three and get one free, and buy five and get two free.
Most of the customers who came today bought more to go.
Lin Xiaoyue was talking to Liu Shi when she saw the ox-cart approaching.
With a happy expression, she hurriedly brought Liu Shi to greet Li Xiao.
Knowing that Li Xiao had brought 45 buckets of cold cakes, Lin Xiaoyue was relieved.
Only then did Li Xiao and Liu Shi unload the cold cakes on the ox-cart together.
In the store, Aunt Wang and Li Juanzi, who looked anxious, were not so anymore.
After another quarter of an hour, the number of people in the store finally decreased.
Li Xiao took the buckets containing a lot of bowls and spoons from the collection area to the backyard, and replaced them with two new buckets.
Realizing that she couldn’t help in the front, Liu Shi simply went to the backyard to wash the dishes.
When it was close to noon, the Liu family members all went outside the store.
With Li Xiao lighting firecrackers, Liu Shi’s Eatery was officially open.
Then after a while, the owners of nearby shops came over to say hello and each of them bought at least 1 bowl of cold cake.
Someone from Ruyi Pavilion also came, saying that they represented Manager Liang and Chef Liu, and gave Lin Xiaoyue a tael of silver as a gift.
Seeing this, the owners of the nearby shops immediately had a high opinion of Lin Xiaoyue.
They actually worked with Ruyi Pavilion.
Those who were eating the cold cakes instantly felt that the cold cakes tasted even better.
Soon, it was noon and there was still one and a half hours before the class ends in the academy.
Lin Xiaoyue went to the backyard to count the remaining buckets of cold cakes.
It turned out that there were only 16 buckets left.
Fearing that the cold cakes might not be enough, Lin Xiaoyue arranged for Li Xiao to go back to Dashi Village.
Li Xiao brought 30 buckets of cold cakes back, which made Lin Xiaoyue feel relieved.
Soon, classes were dismissed at Qingyun Academy.
The scholars knew that Liu Shi’s Eatery just opened, and many people came to take a look.
Seeing the offers, many scholars cleverly make their orders together..
