Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains
Chapter 178 Encountering a troublemaker
After hearing what Song Ruyi said, Xia Yingying shook her head and said to Song Ruyi, "Mother, this young lady came to buy mousse cake today. She ordered tomorrow, but it doesn't mean she will order it in the future. Judging from her accent, she is not from here. She must be just passing by and will not stay here for long. Even if we make too many cakes, she will get tired of eating them alone. Besides, if we only make mousse cakes, others will not buy them. How many people can afford two taels of silver for cakes? For now, we should just make our own cakes."
Xia Yingying's words earned Song Ruyi two slaps in the face, and Song Ruyi's face turned pale instantly.
The business of the store has been very good these days, especially today when the little girl bought so much mousse that she seemed to be floating a little. She wanted to fly just after having tasted a little sweetness, but now she is knocked to the ground again. She is too arrogant.
If Xia Yingying had not been led astray by her, and she had really made a lot of mousse cakes and couldn't sell any of them, wouldn't she have been a bad guy who ruined the business?
Xia Yingying understood Song Ruyi's feeling of being flattered after receiving a big order.
But business is done slowly, and money is earned slowly. No matter how anxious you are, you can't become a big fat man in one go.
Because Liu Piaopiao bought so many mousse cakes at once, some people who were watching the fun outside came in to try the mousse cakes, but were often discouraged when they saw the prices.
"Madam boss, your cakes are really too expensive. It's just such a small piece of cake, but you only sell it for two taels of silver. Are you robbing me?"
A young man was very upset to see that this small cake was sold for two taels of silver, so he argued with Xia Yingying.
There were also people saying that Xia Yingying's pastries were ridiculously expensive and that it was a black shop, with all pastries sold for two taels of silver.
"Sir, the fruit used in this pastry is grapes. You can go to a fruit shop and ask how much a grape costs. Grapes are very expensive. My pastry is made with this expensive fruit, so the price will naturally be higher. But if you think this is expensive, you can also look at other affordable pastries. Other pastries are not bad either. You can try them if you like."
"Hmph, you said so much, just to prove that the ingredients for making your pastries are very expensive. No matter how expensive they are, can they be more expensive than the tribute?" After hearing Yingying's words, the young man snorted coldly and continued to talk relentlessly.
"It's the tribute. I use the tribute to make pastries, so it's natural that they are sold at a higher price." Xia Yingying smiled, a dimple appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Lu Haojie was standing by and was almost annoyed seeing this man making unreasonable demands.
He didn't beat around the bush like Xia Yingying did. He said to the man directly and angrily, "If you don't want to buy the expensive ones, you can look at other cakes. Why are you grabbing a cake here and being aggressive and unreasonable?"
"How am I being aggressive or unreasonable? I'm just standing up for the public because your products are too expensive."
The young man suddenly exploded as if Lu Haojie had pressed a switch.
"You are really slandering a whole group of people with one blow. The cakes in my shop have different price ranges, and not all of them are expensive. It's just that the raw materials of some cakes are a bit expensive, so I sell them. The high prices are all justified. You are slandering me."
Seeing that the young man was not giving in, Xia Yingying thought that he was here to pick a fight instead of to buy snacks, so she stopped indulging him.
Some people who were originally buying pastries in the store heard that Xia Yingying's pastries were expensive and didn't want to be cheated, so they were about to flee. But after hearing Xia Yingying's explanation, they went in to look at the price tags, only to find that this pastry shop had a wide variety of products, and the prices of pastries ranged from affordable to expensive, and were not as outrageous as rumored outside.
"You kid, are you here to cause trouble on purpose? The price of these pastries is normal. What the girl said is also right. It is reasonable to sell some pastries at a higher price because the raw materials are expensive. Do you want them to continue doing business by killing them with one blow?" An uncle was sensible. Seeing that the young man was not giving in, he guessed that something might be wrong.
"That's right. It's not easy for a woman to run a business. You spread rumors and disrupt her business. Aren't you pushing her into a dead end?"
"You look familiar. Aren't you the guy from Yang's Pastry? Why are you here?"
"Oh, I see. You must have seen that their cakes were selling well, and you got jealous, so you came to discredit them. You are really too petty, like the eye of a needle."
The young man was indeed from Yang's Pastry, but he was asked by the boss. Ever since a pastry shop opened, the business has been declining, so the boss had dirty thoughts and sent him here. He originally planned to see why the pastries of a pastry shop sold so well, but when he saw the high prices, he had a crooked mind and planned to make a fuss about the price. However, not only did he fail to discredit a pastry shop, but he also lost more than he gained and was recognized.
He acted on his own initiative. The boss was a nice guy. Seeing that the reputation of Yang's Pastry was ruined by him, he took all the blame on himself before escaping. "I did all this. I have been away from Yang's Pastry for a long time. I just couldn't stand your family's cheating and stood up to speak for justice. You can't wrongly accuse others."
After saying that, he ran away from the crowd in shame.
"Dear uncles and aunts, thank you so much for today. This is just a small gift from me. It's not a token of respect, I hope you don't mind it."
Xia Yingying was grateful to the person who spoke up for her this time, so she asked the store to bring some egg cakes and biscuits to share with the person who spoke up for her this time.
The uncle and aunt took the pastries in their hands and smiled happily, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
"How could I dislike it, my lady? You are just too thin-skinned. Next time you meet such shameless people, just call us and we will support you." An aunt's eyes and brows were all grinning.
"That's right." Others echoed.
They had never thought of getting cookies and egg cakes by saying a few words, and they wished there would be more of them. After all, free things are really good.
Xia Yingying thanked them, and those people were very conscious and did not stay long. They got the cakes and left one after another.
What Xia Yingying didn't know was that after those people left a cake shop, they went to Yang's cake shop in groups and scolded the boss so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
There were even people guarding the door of the store, and whenever a customer came, they would tell him about the disgusting things that had happened in the pastry shop that day.
Originally, Yangji Pastry's business had plummeted due to the opening of a new cake shop. Now, due to this, there is no business at all. The boss has been open for three days without a single customer. The cakes he makes are basically either eaten by himself or distributed to beggars nearby.
Later, the boss simply closed the shop and went to make a living elsewhere.
The next day, Xia Yingying took out the mousse cake that Liu Piaopiao had ordered yesterday from the space refrigerator and placed it on the stove. Then she and Song Ruyi and Lu Haojie brought the cakes to the counter to prepare to open the store.
As soon as the shop opened, the maid was sent to pick up the mousse pastry that Liu Piaopiao had ordered yesterday.
After Xia Yingying packed the mousse cake for her, she returned the extra money to the maid, who took the cake and left immediately.
Not long after the little maid left, the servant of the young master came to buy cakes again. When Xia Yingying was making cakes yesterday, she originally planned to make according to the total amount for yesterday, but then she thought that the young master might not send anyone to buy today, so she did not make more.
The servant took the cakes and left.
Now Chen Yi has moved to live in Xiuniang Inn. He has become the new waiter of Xiuniang Inn, but when Xia Yingying needs his help, he will come back quickly and get two wages at the same time.
He is very busy every day, but he looks very happy.
When he appeared with Lu Ziren before, he was shrouded in a murderous aura. During this period of time with Xiuniang, he seemed to have become more popular. "Please vote"
