170 Still Not Enough
“The deposit is 1 wen cheaper than the bowl itself. If you don’t give the bowl back, you still bought it at a cheaper price. What’s there to argue about?” A middle-aged woman said.
“That’s right. Don’t tell me you don’t want to pay the deposit and want to take the bowl from this young lady for free?” One of the younger women spoke rudely and even gave the lady a strange look.
The lady was angry.
“What are you saying?”
“I just can’t stand you bullying a little girl. What are you saying? If you want to buy, then buy it. If not, why are you blocking everyone?”
The young woman had a firecracker temper and had long been annoyed with this lady for wasting everyone’s time. Seeing that she looked like she was going to argue with her, she immediately raised her voice.
“You…” The lady was furious.
Seeing that an argument was about to break out, Aunt Wang quickly ran over.
“Aiya, what are you quarreling about?” She quickly took the lady to the side.
Only then could Lin Xiaoyue continue to cut the cold cakes for the others.
Perhaps it was because the aunt’s words had angered the crowd, several people behind decided to pack the cold cakes.
Aunt Wang comforted the lady for a while and promised to give her a bowl of cold cakes for free.
In the end, the lady changed her mind and ordered six bowls of cold cakes.
She even happily paid for the five bowls of cold cakes, plus the deposit for a medium-large bowl, at a total of 27 wen.
Seeing the lady leave with the cold cakes in satisfaction, Lin Xiaoyue cast a look of admiration at Aunt Wang.
Auntie Wang smiled at Lin Xiaoyue, but she had no time to be proud.
She still had to wash the bowls and spoons.
The two of them worked well together, and Lin Xiaoyue’s cold cakes were consumed very quickly.
The 10 buckets of cold cakes was equivalent to a total of 250 bowls, and they were sold out in less than two hours.
It was all thanks to the takeaway bowls that she had prepared in advance that the orders had greatly increased.
Many of the customers who came to buy the cold cakes today brought them home.
A man even ordered 12 bowls to go, filling two medium-large bowls.
While cleaning up the tables, chairs, and bowls, Aunt Wang happily talked to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Even if we prepared twice the amount of cold cakes, we don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them all!”
She thought that these cold cakes could be sold until noon, but she didn’t expect them to be gone so quickly.
It was currently the busy farming season, and the cold cakes that Yue’er sold were cheap. They also provided bowls that could be taken away. It was indeed good to bring some back for their family members who were working in the fields to try.
Yue’er was really smart. If this cold cake business picked up, she could make a fortune!
Knowing this, she was now relieved.
Since they were earning money, she felt better about getting 80 wen a day.
“Hehe, I’ll have to prepare more for tomorrow. Twenty buckets should be enough. Most of the people who come here are here for the morning market. There won’t be so many people after a while.” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.
At this moment, someone came to ask about the cold cakes.
Aunt Wang immediately said, “it’s all sold out today. We’ll be here tomorrow. Please come again.”
The lady was disappointed and left after telling them to prepare more.
“It’s a pity. If you didn’t give the two buckets of cold cakes to Ruyi Restaurant, you could have earned more,” Aunt Wang said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Ruyi Restaurant is a big client, and it was Uncle Liu who asked me. Even if we don’t earn more money, we have to satisfy them first.”
Aunt Wang thought about it and nodded.
