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

Because the Chinese New Year is only two or three days away, some people are afraid that they will not be able to buy the cakes in Xia Yingying's shop before the Chinese New Year, so they make reservations in advance.

These days, Xia Yingying and the employees in the pastry shop have been working overtime every day.

In the emperor's palace, because Xia Yingying's cakes were so popular, the princes, concubines and princesses all liked them, so they ordered Xia Yingying's cakes for the New Year, and Xia Yingying became even busier.

Those who thought that Xia Yingying's pastry shop was openly doing pastry business but secretly doing espionage business, after the emperor bought their pastries, realized that they were just clowns in taking things for granted, and they gave up the idea.

But they tasted the cakes they bought from a cake shop and found them to be really good. They were the best choice whether they bought them for themselves or as gifts. So they also joined the army of people ordering cakes. Therefore, Xia Yingying's cake shop was so busy in the days before the Chinese New Year that it seemed like thunder and fire were coming.

Also because Xia Yingying's pastry shop was so popular, Xia Yingying had to use all the available people in the mansion to make pastries. Fortunately, the people in the mansion were basically soldiers who had retired from the battlefield. They were very strong, beat eggs quickly, and they were very skilled in making cakes and biscuits for good luck, peace and happiness.

Because Xia Yingying was really busy, Song Ruyi, Lu Yuwei, Lu Haojie and Lu Haoran also learned some methods of making pastries and joined the pastry-making army.

Because so many pastries need to be made, the kitchen and oven of a pastry shop alone are not enough, so in addition to the busy kitchen of a pastry shop, the kitchen in the general's mansion is also busy, and everyone is concentrating on making pastries.

The whole capital city wants to buy Gao Xing’s cakes, even the imperial palace.

Durian mousse cake also attracted many people, but it was really expensive.

The vendor knew that the durian business was getting better, so he promised to keep sending durian cakes to Xia Yingying's store. And durian cakes were in great demand and priceless.

As for the cakes from other cake shops, some people only buy cakes from other cake shops when they cannot buy cakes from a cake shop. The business is not as hot as before the cake shop opened, and even the price is reduced for promotion, but still no one buys. Although they are very jealous of Xia Yingying, they dare not make things difficult for Xia Yingying because of her husband's status, especially Xia Yingying, who even started a business with the palace, so they dare not offend her.

After being busy for several days, everyone was very tired, but also very happy. Everyone was rewarded based on the results achieved during this period. The bonuses were good and everyone's pockets were filled with heavy money.

Time passed quickly. Xia Yingying's business was booming. Jixiang, Ruyi, Ping'an and Xile had already learned how to make all the complicated pastries at the bottom level. Xia Yingying was just teaching Jixiang, Ruyi, Ping'an and Xile how to make the complicated pastries at the top level.

Good luck, peace and happiness. Because they had been helping out in the pastry shop during this period and had a thorough understanding of the logic of making pastries, it was not very difficult for Xia Yingying to teach them and they understood it almost immediately.

"Ma'am, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Our business is so good. Let's continue to run the pastry shop after the Chinese New Year."

Jixiang wanted to bring it up, but Xia Yingying refused.

Jixiang said this mainly because he wanted to make more money. During the Chinese New Year, everyone would go out to have fun. The opening of the pastry shop was also a good thing for them. They all saw how good the pastry shop's business was during this period.

Although Xia Yingying's salary is not paid on a daily basis, each of them has their own sales commission. The more pastries they sell and the more they make, the higher the income they will get in the end.

Jixiang, Ruyi, Ping'an, Xile also hope that they can get more money. Before, their family members looked down on them because they are girls. Although they are a little tired during this period, they are now able to make money.

In the most difficult times, they were kicked out and only earned a few coins. They were unwilling to accept this and wanted to prove their own worth.

Auspicious suggestions not only bring happiness to yourself, but also peace and joy to you.

"We won't do business during the Chinese New Year when the family is together. There are so many opportunities to make money throughout the year, so there's no need to rush. Besides, everyone is really tired during this period, so it's time to take a break."

Xia Yingying doesn't want to use people like tools just to make money. She hates him and doesn't want to be that kind of person who would cross her bottom line for a little money.

"During the New Year, we don't need so many people to serve in the mansion. If you want to go home, you can."

Xia Yingying said to Jixiang Ruyi, Ping'an Xile, but Jixiang Ruyi, Ping'an Xile shook their heads in unison after hearing what Xia Yingying said.

What would they do if they went back home? If their parents knew that they could make money now, they would definitely try to take away all the money they made. They wouldn't care about their life or death.

Why do you continue to persist in this toxic relationship?

Because Jixiang Ruyi had to work in a pastry shop, Xia Yingying specially invited a nearby Jinshi to help the people in the mansion to open a literacy class, so that they could learn some words and meet people and things in books, so that they would not suffer too much loss outside.

Xia Yingying saw Jixiang Ruyi, Ping'an Xile and shook her head, and instantly realized that what she had just said must have offended them. They were sold here at the price of livestock because their families were short of money. What was there to go back to in a home like that?

"I'm sorry." Xia Yingying knew that she had hurt the self-esteem of four girls in the past year, so she apologized quickly. The longer I spent with Xia Yingying during this period, the more I found that Xia Yingying was a sincere person. She would apologize if she knew she was wrong.

So Jixiangruyi, peace and happiness, without fear, immediately said to Xia Yingying: "Madam, what are you talking about? Madam, you always think about us. We can't thank you enough. What's more, what Madam said is true. She is just worried that we will miss home, but we have no home since the moment we were sold here."

"Well, this year's New Year's Eve dinner will be left to you and Uncle Chen and Uncle Li.

Some people in the mansion still have to go home, and then the burden of the whole mansion will be handed over to you. However, if you are on duty during the New Year, the mansion will also give you more money, so you should save it well. "Xia Yingying said.

Jixiang Ruyi Pingan Xile agreed when they heard Xia Yingying say so.

On the day before the Chinese New Year, business in the store was still booming.

Only after the last piece of cake was sold did Xia Yingying count all the money she had earned during this period and distribute individual wages and bonuses to each person according to their work performance.

Because beating eggs requires a lot of arm strength and endurance, and it is also very physically demanding for everyone, so when Xia Yingying settled the wages, she paid the people who beat the eggs a little more than the people who made the pastries, and everyone had no objection.

Lu Haoran, Lu Haojie and Lu Yuwei also had money. Since Lu Haojie spent more time playing with Jingjing, Jingjing automatically joined in helping Xia Yingying make pastries.

Xia Yingying naturally gave Jingjing some money.
