Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Chapter 165 A Happy Event Almost Turned Bad

Time soon came to the day when a cake shop opened.

Xiuniang knew that Xia Yingying was very busy these days and her inn was still under renovation. Since Chen Yi also needed to help and Xiuniang had nothing to do, she came to help on the opening day and ordered flowers for Xia Yingying's store.

The opening time of the new store was set at nine in the morning, and Lu Ziren personally lit a large string of red firecrackers.

The nursery rhyme that Xia Yingying had the children sing a few days ago has become almost a household name. Now, as soon as the firecrackers go off, almost everyone in the county knows that a cake shop is opening today.

Many people were waiting in front of the door early this morning to get the gifts for the first thirty people.

As the firecrackers went off, more people came around, forming a large crowd. Because Xia Yingying was at the counter, which was a little higher than other places, she saw a crowd of people everywhere when she looked over.

Looking at the huge crowds of people, Xia Yingying was stunned.

She thought there would be a lot of guests today, but she didn't expect so many. Because there were many people in the family and everyone had nothing to do for the time being, Xia Yingying didn't hire new employees. She thought the staff at home were enough, but when she saw the crowds of people, Xia Yingying suddenly regretted not hiring anyone.

After Lu Ziren set off the firecrackers, he stood by to maintain order. Because Lu Ziren looked fierce, he was quite intimidating standing by.

As soon as the firecrackers were set off, the crowd was pushing each other to grab a spot. A little girl was squeezed to the ground and was almost stepped on. Lu Ziren was quick-witted and shouted, shocking the crowd. People looked at each other in bewilderment and did not move. Lu Ziren used his Qing Kung Fu to fly around and took the opportunity to help the little girl up.

It happened in a flash, and many people hadn't reacted to what happened.

"Everyone line up. If you don't, you can't enter our store." Lu Ziren said with a dark face.

The originally messy crowd gradually formed into three teams.

"Don't push me, I'm in front of you, how can you cut in line?"

"The line was in chaos just now, and now it's lined up again. I just happened to be standing in front of you, so I just caught up. What do you mean now? Are you asking me to line up at the back?"

"You are behind me, not in front of me. Isn't it cutting in line if you are in front of me?"

This kind of situation happened repeatedly in the three teams. Lu Ziren shouted again.

"Everyone, be quiet. Now the team will line up in this order. Anyone who disturbs people in the team will be kicked out."

The crowd suddenly became quiet, and the original quarrels came to an end.

Seeing this situation, Xia Yingying felt relieved immediately. She first saw a little girl falling down in the crowd. She was very scared and tried to yell to get people to quiet down. She yelled at the top of her lungs, but it was no use. Just when she was getting anxious like an ant on a hot pot, fortunately Lu Ziren managed to maintain order in time.

If it weren't for Lu Ziren, there would have definitely been a stampede today. What was originally a grand opening would have turned into a major accident.

Because order was maintained, the people in the queue were able to enter the store, in the first seven rows of the three lines.

Their store can easily accommodate more than 20 people, but if there are more people, it will affect the shopping experience.

The people at the back kept counting their numbers in the crowd, wondering if they would get the benefits of Xia Yingying's move out, while the faces of the people in the first thirty were clearly filled with excitement.

Some people came for the benefits, but because it was not their turn, they wanted to go into the store to take a look, so they stayed, while some people who came for the benefits did not get any discounts, so they left the line. But even so, there were still many people in the line.

And the young man who appeared a few days ago also showed up with his servant.

The young man ordered a few snacks and a pot of tea in a teahouse opposite a cake shop. He sat on a chair, fanning himself with a folding fan. He looked like a handsome man with a graceful temperament. He seemed like a god descending in a trance when sitting in that small teahouse. Because he was really eye-catching, and such an outstanding person was rarely seen in this small place, many people secretly looked at him. The young man did not show any discomfort or disgust towards such eyes. When someone looked at him like a monkey, he smiled gracefully.

The servant boy following him was in a large group of people, but that boy was smart and happened to be among the top 30.

All the products in the store have tasting samples. Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi cut the bread, cakes and biscuits into small pieces in advance and inserted bamboo sticks on them. There is also a bamboo basket for garbage under the pastry cabinet so that they can throw away the bamboo sticks.

Because there were too many people today, the samples were almost gone in a short while. Song Ruyi took a chopping board and a knife, cut the cakes into small pieces, and put them in the finished samples. Lu Haojie, Lu Haoran, Chen Yixiuniang, and others were on the side, helping those who needed cakes to help them.

When Qin Qingfeng knew that Xia Yingying's pastry shop was opening, he sent Jingjing to help. When Jingjing arrived, she stood obediently with Lu Haojie and followed Lu Haojie in doing whatever he did.

Xia Yingying was specifically there to help collect money and weigh the cakes at the counter.

Because those who are in front of the line are the thirty lucky customers who will receive benefits, and each of them will receive a gift.

Lu Yuwei was quick with her hands, so Xia Yingying asked her to pack the free pastries.

Many people came to Xia Yingying's shop for the points, and the cakes they tried tasted good, so they bought a lot of things in Xia Yingying's shop. The first 100 people bought 1/3 of the cakes in the store.

The servant was in the front of the line and could see Lu Ziren. When he saw Lu Ziren's face, his expression suddenly froze. Why did he see him here? Didn't General Lu return to the capital? Was he going to openly disobey the order?

The servant's face changed several times.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the teahouse. The young man was sipping his tea. At this moment, he found that Lu Ziren had been looking at him, as if he had discovered something. The servant was startled and quickly turned his head, facing Lu Ziren with the back of his head and talking enthusiastically with the person in front of him.

Lu Ziren just glanced at the servant, and then looked at Xia Yingying's profile.

Most of the cakes were sold out in a short while. Even when Qingshui Town was doing the best business, Xia Yingying didn't sell so many cakes.

Although this was the first day of opening and many people came for the novelty, the fact that so many products were sold in a short time was beyond Xia Yingying's expectations.

Although Xia Yingying was extremely busy, the smile on her face never faded.

This just goes to show that there was nothing wrong with her decision to open a pastry shop in the county town.

In just a short while, he had earned as much as he would have earned in a month by selling cakes on the streets of Qingshui Town.

So far, the copper coins and silver that Xia Yingying has received have filled a large money box.

The pastries on the counter are almost finished.

But today, a customer who had been absent-minded gave her a large denomination of silver, which took up most of the silver. She was afraid that the man had given her the wrong amount of money, so she chased him immediately, but the customer waved his hand and didn't want the remaining money.

Xia Yingying had no choice but to give up when she saw this, but she was secretly looking forward to having more such stupid customers.

While Xia Yingying was daydreaming, the boy bought some cakes and went straight to the teahouse.
