Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!

"Meeting is destiny. Today I am lucky to meet you all. My husband and I have brought a new cake called 'Beauty Cake'. It is unique in Dongliang. If you have been to Xiyu, you will know that this plate of cakes, with only five pieces, costs two taels of silver."

This statement came out.

Everyone around gasped.

Two taels of silver.

It is enough to cover the expenses of a family of five for two months.

However, the young man and young lady who were strolling in the street became interested when they heard her say that she would buy a plate of cakes for two taels of silver.

The beauty cake comes from Xiyu, so it is normal that the price is a bit higher. In the slightly higher-end restaurants in Los Angeles, a stack of cakes is usually measured in "liang". The beauty cake looks crispy on the outside, so it must be delicious.

"My dear, how much is the beauty cake?"

"Yeah, is it expensive to buy it at a pastry shop?"

"It's too expensive and we can't afford it."

……

The onlookers started shouting and it was very noisy.

Jiang Qiu held the plate with one hand, smiled and pressed it down with one hand, "Not expensive, if you want to buy, two taels of silver for one catty, one catty has about twenty pieces, one only costs one hundred coins, because my husband and I had our silver stolen by thieves, so we only saved the silver we had back home, the quantity of beauty cakes is limited, only 300 catties, while stocks last."

Two taels per catty.

One hundred coins each.

This is totally outrageous.

When they heard the young lady mention the price like this, it seemed like they were getting a good deal.

The onlookers were a little confused. Jiang Qiu didn't wait for them to come back to their senses and slowly said, "Since my husband and I are not doing this for profit, whether you buy it in the end or not, we have prepared many small portions of beauty cakes for you to try."

She inserted the mung bean cake with her signature into it and thrust it towards the nearest person. The pale-faced scholar saw that a woman of Jiang Qiu's appearance was so gentle, extremely beautiful, with white skin, black hair, red lips, and eyes that seemed to contain a pool of spring water. She was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy descending to the earth. He didn't care that her husband was beside him, and he took it over, his face suddenly flushed.

Seeing this, Lu Ce quickly handed the mung bean cakes on the plate to the five people closest to him.

The crowd became noisy, and regardless of whether they could afford it or not, they all rushed forward. The pale-faced scholar also held up the beauty cake and moved away from Jiang Qiu.

The beauty cake used to cost 100 wen each, but now it’s free. After having a taste, you can go back and brag about it.

Everyone was scrambling to get things, and more and more people gathered. The shopkeeper's face turned red with excitement.

This young lady is eloquent...

It’s really amazing!!!

Lu Ce was responsible for making them line up and also prohibited them from taking multiple beauty cakes.

People only need to see the appearance of the two people to guess that they are not ordinary people. They hear that their money was stolen and they have no choice but to sell cakes. They sigh.

There were many people present, and no one doubted the authenticity of the story. It was simply that the faces of the two men were too deceptive.

Jiang Qiu acted like a lady from a wealthy family, and was very graceful and elegant.

Sometimes being the first to do something is not a good deal.

For the people in Los Angeles, they are rich, very rich, and they cook delicious food at home. They don’t care about those trivial things at all. What they want is to be different, to be special!

Jiang Qiu was perfectly satisfied.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He took out three hundred taels of silver, inspected the goods, and handed it to Jiang Qiu.

Jiang Qiu's eyes were calm, and he nodded politely to the shopkeeper, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, if nothing unexpected happens, we can sell out today. If something unexpected happens..."

The shopkeeper swallowed nervously: "What if something unexpected happens?"

Jiang Qiu: “It won’t take an hour to sell out.”

The shopkeeper's eyes widened.

Jiang Qiu smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, there is a ship at the port heading to our hometown, so we will take our leave first. We will meet again if we are lucky."

The shopkeeper hurriedly sent the two gods away.

Jiang Qiu lifted her skirt slightly and walked away slowly with a graceful manner.

Some young men and women thought that there might not be such delicious food in the future, so they bought ten kilograms of it.

The shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling: "The quantity is limited. There are too many people. From now on, we will limit the purchase to two kilograms."

The idea of ​​limiting purchases was proposed by Jiang Qiu.

Purchase restrictions can further stimulate people's desire to buy.

Only two kilograms could be purchased, so many people bought two kilograms.

Luo Yunchun who was in the queue: “???”

Who can tell him?

What happened?

Why are there quantity restrictions on pastries in county towns?

And Lu Ce and Jiang Qiu, when did they go to Xiyu?

Come here to study!

As soon as he opens his mouth, he tells lies!

The beauty cake, which cost two taels of silver, was sold as if it were free. Many people raised their silver coins to grab it. It was a spectacular scene. Luo Yunchun concealed the shock in his eyes and squeezed forward.

Lu Ce followed Jiang Qiu around and around to an empty alley and asked with pursed lips: "Is the price a bit high?"

"What's so high? Our two taels of cakes are nothing to rich people. What's more, our cakes are delicious and unique. Scarcity makes things valuable. If I'm not mistaken, they are trying to steal our mung bean cakes."

Lu Ce: “…”

Do not understand!

He thinks Jiang Qiu is a profiteer.

Jiang Qiu didn't bother to care about him and rubbed his face black to avoid being recognized.

Making money is important, but protecting yourself is also important.

She would have to exchange the three hundred taels of silver for thirty taels of gold later, so as not to make it too heavy to carry.

The mung bean cakes were sold for two taels of silver because Jiang Qiu was aware of the purchasing power of Luocheng. On the way to Qiongzhou in the future, there would not be many places in Luocheng with strong financial strength. If she were in Qiongzhou... she probably wouldn't be able to make pastries because the local consumption level probably wouldn't allow it.

"If you feel guilty, you can give up your share of the money for the meal."

“Why should I feel guilty?”

"Who just said that my price was high?"

“I just think it’s risky to price it that way.”

Lu Ce is not a kind-hearted young man.

He was so happy about Jiang Qiu cheating rich people out of their money that he couldn't contain himself.

But at that time, he couldn't sell it for two taels of silver, so the three hundred kilograms of mung bean cakes were left in his hands.

Jiang Qiu: "Why take risks? We are all friends. If we can't sell it, we can just do a buy one get one free offer, or make up a touching story. There are many ways."

"Even if we really can't sell them, we can give the mung bean cakes to beggars and ask them to help us carry the food. We can adjust our plans after we go back and try to make more money next time."

"Young man, be more flexible. I am an ordinary person, so I can't succeed in everything I do. Failure is normal. The same will be true for you in the future. Don't feel like the sky has fallen if you fail. There is still a long way to go. Who knows what will happen next."

She kept talking and Lu Ce had no way of refuting her. On the contrary, he thought it made a lot of sense.

The two chatted as they walked out. At the entrance of the alley, there stood a man. He was tall and handsome, holding a folding fan, with an elegant demeanor and a smile on his face, looking like a handsome man. When he saw them coming out, he smiled and greeted Lu Ce, "Uncle Ce, how are you?"
