Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm - Chapter 189
189 Here Comes Business
The middle-aged man waved his hand and left.
Lin Xiaoyue quickly continued to set up the stall. She took out another small table, some stools, a water bucket, and utensils.
Then, she took out the self-made sign board and put it aside.
Finally, she took out the cold cakes and brown sugar syrup.
!!
Lin Xiaoyue had just set up her stall when someone saw the two words “cold cake” and came over.
“These are cold cakes? The ones sold at Ruyi Restaurant?” A middle-aged man came forward and asked.
He was the Zheng family’s butler, and he was here today on his madam’s orders to pick up the young master after he finished school.
He did not expect to see a little girl selling cold cakes here.
Some people didn’t know about cold cakes, but he did.
It was Ruyi Restaurant’s new snack. The taste was refreshing.
When he went to Ruyi Restaurant with the old master, he saw him ordering them.
The old master liked it very much and wanted to pack some back for his family to try, but he was told that there were no more.
He didn’t expect to find this here.
“Yes, uncle! These are cold cakes, I am the one who provides them to Ruyi Restaurant! Uncle, do you want to try a bowl?” Lin Xiaoyue quickly asked.
“It is made of polished rice and only costs 5 wen a bowl. Two or more bowls are 4 wen each”
The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed.
Only 5 wen? Ruyi Restaurant sold it for 10 wen per bowl, and there was no discount when buying more.
Seeing a stool at the side, the middle-aged man took out 5 wen and placed them on the table in front of Lin Xiaoyue.
“I’ll have a bowl!” He said.
Then, he sat on the stool beside the small table.
He wanted to try it and see what it tasted like since his old master liked it so much.
As for Lin Xiaoyue’s claim that she supplied the cold cakes to Ruyi Restaurant, he didn’t take it seriously.
Perhaps Ruyi Restaurant wasn’t the only one who sold this.
“Alright, please wait a moment!”
Lin Xiaoyue quickly kept the money.
Then, she quickly cut the cake for the middle-aged man.
She drizzled it with brown sugar syrup and sent it to the middle-aged man.
Someone else was coming.
“The cold cakes from Ruyi Restaurant?”
“Yes, we supplied them to Ruyi Restaurant. Would you like to try it?” Lin Xiaoyue quickly replied to the man who asked.
“Only 5 wen for a bowl. Two or more will be 4 wen per bowl!”
The man glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, who was eating the cold cake very happily at the moment, and was tempted.
“Give me a bowl. If it’s good, I’ll buy a few more bowls to take away.” The man said as he took out his wallet.
His gaze then turned to the bowl that Lin Xiaoyue had placed at the side.
“I can take this away, right?” He asked.
“Yes! However, the bowl requires a deposit. The deposit for a small bowl is 4 wen, a medium bowl is 5 wen, and a large bowl is 7 wen.”
“I’ll set up my stall here every day before winter. I also go to the west of the city every morning. Take the bowl back. If you don’t need it, you can return it to me and I’ll refund your deposit.”
The man nodded.
The deposit was not expensive.
“Alright! Let me try a bowl first!” Then, he took out 5 wen and placed them on the table.
“Alright, please wait a moment!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly collected the money.
Then, she cut the cake for the man.
She had just finished cutting the cold cake for the man when the first middle-aged man came over with an empty bowl.
He placed the bowl on the table and began to feel for his wallet.
“Give me another bowl. Also, I would like to take away 10 bowls worth of cold cakes.”
