Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!
Chapter 40 Crazy Robbery
Jiang Qiu: “…”
He was a real killjoy.
No wonder the heroine likes the hero who knows how to say sweet words and has no feelings for him as a villain. There are clues to this.
The inside is important.
But it also depends on the occasion.
Forget it.
Knowing that he was a straight man, Jiang Qiu felt that he had a broad mind and would not argue with him. "Let's go find the merchant."
"Ah."
Luocheng is a must-go place for students from Dongzhou to study, and it is also the place where the previous emperor built a palace. The streets are spacious and clean, with various vendors shouting on both sides. There is an endless stream of teahouses and restaurants, and all of them are powerful and wealthy businessmen, celebrities and scholars coming in and out. Jiang Qiu has been in ancient times for many days and feels the beauty of ancient times for the first time.
She observed everyone, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her. In the sunlight, a perfect couple was carrying a shoulder pole together, oblivious to the surrounding gazes. The man was as handsome as a demon, wearing a purple gown, which made him look even more unattainable, like a spring breeze. The woman was like a fairy, with bones like autumn water, skin like snow, eyes like star marrow, cinnabar in her mouth, eyebrows as if frowned, watery eyes with spring in them, and a red teardrop mole at the end of her eye, which added a touch of charm. The way they looked at each other was captivating. The air was quiet, the wind was blowing gently, and everything was as beautiful as a painting, making people reluctant to disturb.
When they went to a pastry shop, many people stopped there as well.
The shopkeeper saw someone coming, and it was a perfect couple, so he came out quickly with a smile on his face: "Is there anything you would like? We have many cakes in our shop, you can choose from them."
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, shopkeeper. My husband and I came here to study, but our silver was stolen. We used the remaining change to buy ingredients for making cakes. This is the beauty cake we learned to make when we were studying in other countries. It is a cake that is not available in our local area. Shopkeeper, you can try it. It is absolutely fair to everyone."
Jiang Qiu had such a beautiful face and spoke in such a gentle voice that it was really hard to look at her directly.
The shopkeeper was a man in his fifties. After taking a look, he hurriedly avoided his gaze and said, "Then I'll try it."
If he could buy it at the right price, the group of people watching at the door would definitely become his first customers.
He took a piece of mung bean cake from Lu Ce.
I was really terrified inside.
Such an immortal actually handed him a piece of mung bean cake personally. How could he be so worthy of this?
The shopkeeper took a bite of the mung bean cake with an excited heart.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
With his many years of experience in selling pastries, he can definitely sell them at a good price!
"I wonder if you two could come in and discuss this in detail?"
"nature."
Jiang Qiu lifted her skirt and walked in slowly. Her steps were too small and she would have almost fallen if Lu Ce hadn't helped her.
Jiang Qiuqiang calmed down.
Feeling that someone was trying hard to hold back a smile, I pinched him.
Lu Ce: "I won't save you."
Jiang Qiu: "Shut up."
Lu Ce: “…”
She is so fierce.
Sure enough, the female ghost was very arrogant.
The two were invited into the backyard of the pastry shop. The shopkeeper made tea for them. Thinking that there were still a large number of people waiting outside, he got straight to the point: "How much would you like to set the price?"
"One tael of silver."
"One or two!!!"
The shopkeeper spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Boss, are you okay?" Jiang Qiu asked with concern.
The shopkeeper was shocked by the price and was about to cry. "One tael, that's too high."
"In order to learn the recipe of beauty cakes, we specially invited the imperial chef who had returned to his hometown for a long time. We spent a full two thousand taels of silver to let them teach us the secret recipe. Even if we can't guarantee that it is the only one in the world, we can guarantee that it is the only one in Dongliang. In addition, we spent a huge amount of money to make these beauty cakes. In order to make these beauty cakes, our capital alone is not less than one hundred taels, not to mention our labor and the money for the secret book. If it is one tael less, we will easily lose money."
Jiang Qiu sighed, his eyes full of sorrow.
Lu Ce secretly took a breath of cold air.
One pound of mung bean cake costs her no more than fifty coins!!!
The shopkeeper still couldn't believe it, "How many pounds of these beauty cakes are there?"
"There are 300 kilograms in total. We need 200 taels of silver to go back home, so we thought of making beauty cakes." Jiang Qiu's eyebrows were full of worry, beautiful and lovable. "I know it's difficult for the shopkeeper, but my husband and I really have no other choice."
"But the price is too high. If it can't be sold..."
"No, you just need to tell everyone that you are the only one who owns the Beauty Cake in Dongliang, and the quantity is limited. Don't worry, shopkeeper. I can guarantee that the Beauty Cake will not appear anywhere else for at least two months."
The shopkeeper was still hesitating.
Beauty cakes do have a unique flavor, and there was a group of people gathered at the door. I was curious about what this couple was selling.
but……
Three hundred taels!
He needs to take out all the cash he has now.
Jiang Qiu suggested: "Why don't you give us a pound of beauty cakes and sell them on the spot? There are 20 in a pound of beauty cakes. You can try selling them for 100 coins each. This price is really not high. My husband and I ordered a plate of beauty cakes when we were studying abroad. It cost us one or two taels of silver, and there were only five of them."
The shopkeeper also thought about the price of pastries in the restaurant, and this was a one-of-a-kind item. If he could make good use of the beauty cake to attract more customers to his own pastry shop, it would be a good thing for the shop. They were willing to let him try selling it on the spot. The shopkeeper no longer hesitated and directly spent one or two taels of silver to buy a pound of beauty cakes.
Let them sit and rest for a while.
He went out to sell first.
Jiang Qiu stood up and said, "It's okay. We also want to make money and go home. If we can help the shopkeeper, it will also help us."
The shopkeeper was delighted.
If the two of them could stand at the door of the pastry shop, they would naturally attract more people, and some people might buy something because of them.
The shopkeeper asked the two men to walk in front.
Jiang Qiu: "Wait, I want to let everyone taste our beauty cakes first, and then let everyone buy them better."
The shopkeeper was confused.
Jiang Qiu: "I wonder if I can borrow your knives and plates. Don't worry, we will pay for the beauty cakes you try."
The shopkeeper was naturally happy to do so and brought her a knife and a plate.
Jiang Qiu cut a beauty cake into small pieces. He cut ten pieces before stopping. "Excuse me, boss, do you have any bamboo sticks?"
The shopkeeper hurried to give it to her.
Jiang Qiu and Lu Ce each went out with a plate, just like waiters in a cake shop who needed to serve customers.
The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw a large group of people in front of him.
Originally, there were only a few people watching the fun, but after their explanation, many people became curious about what the two immortals looked like.
More and more people gathered, and some came just to join in the fun, so a large group of people gathered at the door.
