After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Ye Lao Da and his family came to help. Li and Zhou helped in the kitchen, while Old Man Ye and Ye Lao Da were cleaning up the shop.

Ye Qing went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet.

The opening time was set at chenshi, a time specifically for attracting people to watch. Boss Ye also bought firecrackers to make the place lively.

When it was time to open the store, the pastries in the kitchen were just out of the oven.

Ye Erlang took out the pastries and placed them according to the planned area.

"Dad, is Qingya back? Let's get ready to open the door."

"I'm back. I just came back and went to the backyard to change clothes."

Ye Erlang called out Ye Qing and invited Li and Zhou out.

Xuzhou hung up the firecrackers and covered the plaque outside with red cloth.

People going to market who pass by a new shop will stop to look for a while and guess what the shop sells.

Ye Qing changed into new clothes and came over from the backyard.

Ye Erlang looked at everyone and said, "Xuzhou is open to welcome guests."

Xuzhou obediently opened the shop, and Ye Erlang put the written price sign at the door.

As the sound of firecrackers rang out, passers-by gathered around.

This is Ye Erlang's shop. Old Man Ye and Boss Ye did not come forward and just let him preside over the opening ceremony.

Ye Erlang was also a grateful person. He pulled Old Man Ye over and lifted the red cloth covering his body.

As the red cloth slid off bit by bit, the name of the pastry shop slowly appeared before our eyes.

If anyone knows how to read, please read it out to everyone, "Shixiang Garden."

Ye Erlang bowed and saluted, "Everyone, today is the opening of our shop, and we mainly sell pastries. In the first three days of opening, buy one get one free, there are a total of 20 places, first come first served."

Ye Qing brought out a tray at the right time, on which were cakes cut into small pieces. Each type was placed on a small plate.

When Ye Erlang saw Ye Qing coming out, he said to the crowd, "It's free to taste. If you pass by, come and try it."

The onlookers saw that it was a pastry shop and lost interest. There were many pastry shops in Wuan City.

I heard about the free tasting and stopped in my tracks. I took a bamboo stick and tried the cakes.

"Hey, what kind of pastry is this? I've never eaten it before. It's quite delicious." A bearded man expressed his feelings.

Ye Qing introduced, "This is chestnut cake, the only one in Wu'an City. Take one back with you, it can be eaten by both the elderly and children."

The bearded man thought of his grandmother who was sick and had no appetite, so he asked for a pound of kilograms.

"Please come in, sir. There are red date cakes inside. You can take some back for your wife. It is good for your health to replenish your qi and blood."

The bearded man was excited after hearing this, and Xuzhou reminded him that there was a buy-one-get-one-free offer, so he followed Xuzhou in to choose some pastries.

Ye Erlang had been paying attention to this place. When he saw the bearded man go in, he shouted to the crowd, "There are still 19 spots left. Hurry up if you want one."

Many people in the crowd tried it and wanted to buy some to take back home as snacks for their children at home.

Hearing that there were fewer places available, several people standing at the back squeezed forward carrying their baskets.

The prices of the pastries are not high, and there is a buy one get one free promotion, which is really a good deal.

Old Man Ye looked at the people rushing into the shop and smiled from ear to ear. When the first person went in, Boss Ye followed in and helped weigh the cakes.

Ye Jilang returned to the store and introduced pastries to everyone.

Milk-flavored steamed buns and chestnut cakes are the store’s specialties and are not available in other stores.

The aroma of the freshly-baked milk-flavored steamed buns fills the whole house, and you can’t help but drool just by smelling it.

Ye Qing did not go in, she waited for someone at the door. She went out early in the morning, found some kids on the street, paid them two cents each, and asked them to run back and forth in the market to promote the product.

Five or six children were running back and forth in the market, singing nursery rhymes.

"Shixiang Garden, the cakes are fragrant. The chestnut cake is sticky and sweet. The hawthorn cake is sour and sweet."

Everyone who heard about it had an impression of Shixiang Garden. When they passed by on their way to the market, they would curiously come in to take a look.

The more people there are, the more cakes sold. All the cakes prepared in the store were sold out in the morning.

Some people heard that the first 20 people to come would get one free, so they made an appointment to come early the next day.

Ye Erlang went to the backyard to continue making pastries, while Xuzhou watched over the shop in the front.

Boss Ye went to the wonton stall next door and ordered a few bowls of wontons, but the stove was occupied, so he had to go out to eat.

Ye Qing was waiting at the door. In addition to two cents, Ye Qing promised to give each person a milk-flavored steamed bun.

"Sister, we sang at the market all morning. Will you still need us tomorrow?"

Ye Qing thought about it and agreed. "You can come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We have activities for the first three days and we need you to help us sing."

After getting the answer, the children happily took the steamed buns and left. They were given two cents in the morning, so they sang diligently for the whole morning.

Ye Erlang put the steamed buns in the oven in the backyard, asked Ye Lao Da to help watch the fire, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

Both sides worked together, and in less than half an hour, a new furnace came out.

Xuzhou came over and brought it out and placed it on the pastry rack.

The store was restocked, and everyone was no longer so anxious. The wontons were delivered just in time, so they sat down to eat.

There are almost no people in the afternoon, but the market is crowded in the morning. Some people want to get a bargain and buy early tomorrow morning.

"Erlang, there aren't many people here right now. Bring some cakes to your master and let him have a taste." Boss Ye instructed his son.

Ye Erlang took some milk-flavored steamed buns and chestnut cakes and went to Master Zheng to tell him that he could support himself.

Master Zheng was a bit busy these two days and didn't have time to visit Ye Erlang. I heard that the store had opened, so I agreed to go and take a look the next day.

In the afternoon, Boss Ye took his family home and will come back early tomorrow morning.

Ye Erlang and Xuzhou stayed in the store and prepared the fillings needed for the next day at night.

Xuzhou was very hardworking and eager to work. He also knew his limits and rarely went to the kitchen.

Ye Erlang was very satisfied with him and would give him a salary increase when business was good at the end of the month.

The next morning, many people gathered at the entrance of Shixiangyuan, waiting for it to open and buy cakes.

I bought some yesterday for my family, especially the elderly. It was soft and fragrant and not difficult to chew.

The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, more and more people came to buy, and even more people came for the buy one get one free offer.

After the first three days of the activity, the flow of people decreased and stabilized.

Ye Erlang and Xuzhou were able to handle the matter, so the other members of the Ye family went back.

Master Zheng also brought his family to see the shop. He was very satisfied when he saw the shop was clean and tidy.

After tasting the food he cooked, he felt even more proud that he had recruited a good apprentice.

Everything in the city was back on track, and Ye Qing turned his focus back home.

The milk Ye Erlang used was from home, but the daily output was not much.

Old man Ye bought a few more sheep and raised them at home. When the cow's milk ran out in the future, he could replace the goat's milk with cow's milk.

Ye Qiu recovered and often brought Xiubao to visit.
