People are fighting to open a pastry shop

Chapter 77 Give it a go, there is hope for promotion to the third rank!
Put the glutinous rice strips behind the glass counter in front, and put the price on the wooden board, eighty gold coins per catty.

As soon as the price was written out, the little doctor was quite surprised.

"Shop Manager, this glutinous rice stick doesn't look cheap either."

"Expensive has its advantages, you will understand when the time comes."

Xiao Cheng smiled mysteriously at the little fairy doctor.

At this time Xiao Mei came to the store with a smile on her face, and asked when she saw that Xiao Cheng seemed to be a new pastry that had just been put on the shelves.

"Shop manager, don't you have new pastries on the shelves again?"

"Hey, Xiao Mei, that's right, the cakes I just made are just for sale."

He admitted it openly, without hiding anything.

"What cake?"

Seeing Xiao Mei's expression of eagerness to know, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Jiangmi noodles, sweet, would you like some?"

After hearing Xiao Cheng's seductive words, Xiao Mei thought about it and asked.

"How many gold coins?"

"It's very cheap, eighty gold coins per pound, very cheap."

"It's still called cheap. I'm afraid you have misunderstood the definition of cheap, store manager."

When Xiao Mei heard the price of eighty gold coins per catty, she immediately clicked her tongue.

"Don't be so excited, I haven't finished talking yet, I have a cooperative relationship with your Xiao family, so there are discounts, don't worry"

Seeing Xiao Cheng blinking at him and smiling, she knew that the store manager was teasing her again.

"Manager Xiao, if you tease me like this again, I won't buy it."

"No, no, I just want to liven up the atmosphere in the store, hehe."

After being exposed by Xiao Mei, he couldn't help but touch his nose, looking a little embarrassed.

"Okay, store manager, please bring me a pound of glutinous rice sticks. By the way, are these green pastries also a newly launched pastry? How many gold coins are there for each?"

Seeing Xiao Mei's interest in this exquisite mung bean cake, Xiao Cheng smiled.

"This is mung bean cake. It clears away heat and detoxifies. It tastes good. The price is 120 eight gold coins each."

"Hi~"

Xiao Mei gasped, more than 100 gold coins each, my God, this love is more expensive than Mi Sandao.

"Oh, I can only buy one to try the taste."

Xiao Mei said with a rather frustrated expression.

"Don't worry, there are discounts"

Then Xiao Mei bought three pieces of mung bean cake, one catty of glutinous rice sticks, and five pieces of sesame candy in the store.

Of course, the three mung bean cakes were made by Xiao Cheng who made Xiao Mei buy two more.

After quickly wrapping the cake for Xiao Mei, she took the money and Xiao Mei left.

After all, this girl still has to work hard to practice.

After seeing Xiao Mei leaving, Xiao Cheng glanced at the situation in the store.

The people coming into the store are okay.

Just in time, Xiaozhen ran over, and after seeing Xiao Cheng, she rubbed his trousers affectionately.

Seeing Xiaozhen, Xiao Cheng's heart almost melted, and he immediately hugged Xiaozhen into his arms.

Meow~ (Master, play with me)
"What are you doing with a ball of yarn in your mouth? You don't want me to play with a ball of yarn, do you?"

This made Xiao Cheng a little dumbfounded. He, a spirited guy in his twenties, would be reduced to playing wool balls with cats, which is a bit embarrassing.

"Okay, who told you to be the mascot of Ruyizhai, hey, come on, go on"

Xiao Cheng rolled the wool ball towards Xiaozhen.

Xiaozhen meowed, looking very happy.

The cat's paws kept flicking the ball of yarn back and forth, having fun.

Suddenly, a familiar person came to the store, and it turned out to be Gu Ni who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Hey, Master Gu Ni, why are you here?"

In fact, he was quite surprised. Why did the old man Gu Ni come here at this time? It was not normal.

"Shop Manager Xiao, business is doing well these days."

The old man first said something polite, and Xiao Cheng naturally responded politely.

"It's okay, it's okay, Master Gu Ni, if you have anything to do, just say it."

Seeing that Xiao Cheng had said that, Gu Ni's face turned red with embarrassment, and he stammered a little.

"I heard... I heard that Master Gu He has come to your store. I want to ask him about alchemy, and I hope he can give me some pointers."

Before Gu Ni finished speaking, Xiao Cheng shook his head helplessly and said.

"Master Gu Ni, you are late. Master Gu He just had an epiphany and went back to retreat."

He was telling the truth and he didn't lie to the old man Gu Ni.

But when Gu Ni heard the news that Master Gu He had left Ruyizhai a long time ago, it was like a thunder explosion, leaving him stunned in place.

"Hey! Oh, are you okay?"

He waved his hand in front of Gu Ni.

"Oh, it's okay, please trouble store manager Xiao, it seems that I have no destiny with Master Gu He."

Gu Ni didn't realize it until he was shaken by Xiao Cheng, and said rather bitterly, intending to turn around and leave.

At this time, Xiao Cheng thought for a while and said.

"Don't Master Gu Ni want to know why Master Gu He came to enlightenment?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ni's curiosity was aroused, and his heart was itchy. He couldn't help looking at Xiao Cheng with excited eyes and asked.

"Does the store manager know? Can you tell me, I can refine a few bottles of pills for the store manager, and I can do it for free."

The old man's excited expression made the corners of Xiao Cheng's mouth twitch, thinking to himself.

"What do I need from your second-grade elixirs? But since you are so sincere, I will help you."

On the surface, Xiao Cheng smiled, patted Gu Ni on the shoulder, and said in a teaching manner.

"Actually, the main reason why Master Gu He was able to achieve enlightenment was because he ate the glutinous rice sticks that I just put on the shelves."

"Oh, Jiang Mi Tiao?"

Seeing the confusion on Gu Ni's face, Xiao Cheng quickly introduced Jiang Mi Tiao to him.

After a while, Gu Ni understood what glutinous rice noodles were, but he still felt that the price was a bit expensive.

"Manager Xiao, although the price is not very expensive, it is indeed a little expensive."

Seeing that Gu Ni was still hesitating about the price, Xiao Cheng couldn't help adding fuel to the fire again.

"Expensive has its advantages, and besides, this is a pastry that has a chance of giving people an epiphany. You don't plan to try it. If you give it a go, you may be promoted to the third rank."

Gu Ni's heart was moved by what Xiao Cheng said, and after thinking twice, he still bought two catties.

The extra pound was deceived by Xiao Cheng and he bought more.

Eager to solve his current problem, Gu Ni took out a small stick of glutinous rice and threw it into his mouth.

A sweet taste spread directly in his mouth, and the more he chewed, the more he felt other flavors.

After swallowing it at last, Gu Ni didn't feel anything else.

"Continue to eat a few sticks, maybe you will have an epiphany if you eat more"

Xiao Cheng who was at the side said with a smile.

Gu Ni nodded and continued to eat about seven or eight sticks of glutinous rice noodles.

Suddenly, at this moment, Gu Ni seemed to be much clearer in his mind, as if a wall had been broken through, like a new door had been opened.

Gu Ni suddenly opened his mouth and smiled.

"Hehe, store manager, thank you, I just had an epiphany, I'm leaving first, I will thank you again when the time comes"

Before Xiao Cheng could finish speaking, Gu Ni hurried back to the auction house.

That's right, in Xiao Cheng's eyes, Gu Ni ran back, but
"Master Gu Ni, you haven't paid yet?"

Xiao Cheng walked out of the store and shouted at Gu Ni running away.

But it had no effect. The old man ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But the old man Gu Ni took the glutinous rice sticks and ran away without even paying.

"Oh, forget it, I'll pay him in advance, and I'll find him when the time comes"

For the sake of a small amount of gold coins being worthless, it is too much to worry about, so I will pay in advance first, and then we can talk about it later.

And this scene also made other people in Fang City see it, and they couldn't help but feel happy.

They also didn't expect that Master Gu Ni, the second-grade alchemist of Mittel's auction house, would also renege on his debt.

This is a strange thing.
