She was both nervous and excited, her hands were unconsciously intertwined, and her eyes were shining with infinite longing for the future.

I didn’t expect that the shop would open today. It only took six or seven days from the initial idea to the actual opening.

The shop assistants were a young couple she had chosen from her family. They had been bought from a family of seven. They had a mule cart and drove here every morning and left in the evening. The shop was open for about eight hours a day.

Liu Caiyun gave them some simple training, and of course she would definitely be there to keep an eye on things during the opening days.

As the cannons exploded, neighbors gradually gathered around. Some of them were curious, while others were attracted by the aroma of the cakes. They stopped to talk and discuss the scene.

Upon seeing this, Liu Caiyun quickly put on a warm smile, walked forward, greeted everyone one by one, and invited them to come in and taste the food after it opened.

"Dear fellow villagers, our bakery has just opened, welcome to taste our cakes for free!"

Liu Caiyun had already prepared two plates of snacks, which contained small pieces of egg cake, various small biscuits, and glutinous rice sticks for the guests to taste.

These fresh foods must be tasted by customers before they can be attracted to buy them.

"Can we really taste it for free?" Many aunts around asked questions.

"Of course, Xiaoling, you can give it to the aunts and sisters to taste."

"Xiao Yang, please give some to the uncles passing by to try. And tell the neighbors and guests about our cakes and snacks."

The two of them have become very familiar with each other after Liu Caiyun's training. They are not the kind of people who are timid. There must be a reason why Liu Caiyun chose them and arranged them to work in the shop.

The two of them carried the plates around and introduced the food to people for tasting.

The sunlight shines through the newly hung sign and onto Liu Caiyun's busy and hopeful face, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to the newly opened shop.

Her words were like a spring breeze, filling the faces of the surrounding neighbors with curiosity and anticipation.

"Don't worry, take your time, everyone will have a share."

While Liu Caiyun was explaining, the two of them held the plates to ensure that every guest could taste different flavors of delicious food.

"This glutinous rice noodle is crispy and sweet? How is it made? It's so delicious?"

"If it tastes good, take some home. This thing can be kept for several days. As long as it is properly sealed, the taste will not change."

Liu Caiyun would definitely not say how she did it. This is not the modern era, and the practices are transparent, so it doesn’t matter whether she says it or not.

Here is their exclusive secret recipe. Or maybe it is not exclusive. The market is so big that even if some fellow villagers know it, it will not affect their business.

"Can I have a taste of that yellow stuff?"

Liu Caiyun smiled and squatted down, gently touched the little girl's head, took out a piece of egg cake from the plate and handed it to her. The little girl took the egg cake and carefully put it into her mouth. Her eyes immediately lit up and she shouted excitedly: "Mom, this is delicious!"

"Madam, if you like, come into the store and have a look! It's a new store opening. Buy one pound and get half a pound free."

Customers walked into the store one after another. Some were attracted by the appearance of the pastries, while others were attracted by the irresistible aroma. Liu Caiyun personally introduced the characteristics of the pastries to every customer enthusiastically.

Inside the shop, egg cakes are placed on the outermost position on the chopping board, and biscuits and rice noodles are packed in bags. The oilcloth bags customized by Liu Caiyun can be used repeatedly, and the oilcloth bags are sealed to prevent the biscuits from getting damp and softening.

Biscuits and rice noodles are displayed on plates. When you need them, put them into an oil paper bag and weigh them.

The air is filled with a mixed sweet scent, making people want to find out.

"Give me a pound of egg cake."

"I want a pound of glutinous rice noodles."

"I want a pound of crackers."

"I want……"

As time went by, more and more people were attracted to this newly opened pastry shop.

As long as they come to the door and taste the various dim sum, they will exclaim in admiration from time to time. Most people will go into the store to take a look and buy a pound or two of dim sum to take home.

Every family has elderly and children. Given the consumption level in the capital, it is still affordable to buy some food occasionally.

Liu Caiyun moved among the crowd, asking guests for their opinions from time to time and recording their preferences so that she could make pastries that would better suit everyone's taste in the future.

"Boss Liu, your cooking skills are incredible. My children will choose you as their dim sum place from now on!" Liu Caiyun heard someone praising her and turned around to see, "Sister Shen, you are here. Thank you for your support! Come in and have a seat!"

The visitor was Shen Wanshan's wife. The two families were familiar with each other. Liu Caiyun did not invite anyone to the store opening. It was Lin Weizhong who mentioned it to Mr. Shen. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen came in person.

"Boss Liu, I've already bought the dim sum I wanted. The store is too busy today. Let's meet up for tea and dim sum another day."

"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Shen. I'll make some new pastries and invite you to come to my house to taste them someday."

Several shops in the surrounding area sent people to show their support. Liu Caiyun had brought some snacks to their shops when they were renovating the place, so now they were just returning the favor.

The interactions between people are mutual. Since everyone will be doing business here in the future, it is essential to establish good relationships with neighbors.

Liu Caiyun responded to the compliments from her neighbors with a smile, her heart filled with gratitude and determination.

"Thank you for your support. I will continue to work hard to ensure that every customer can find their own sweetness here."

As night falls, the lights in the pastry shop seem particularly warm.

Although it was a busy day, Liu Caiyun's heart was filled with unprecedented fulfillment and satisfaction.

The dim sum shop of Liu Caiyun has affordable prices. The cost of making the egg cake fluffy is not that high, but the glutinous rice noodles are fried so the cost is slightly higher and the price is also higher than that of biscuits and egg cakes.

Egg cake is completely people-friendly and has the cheapest price. Liu Caiyun has good dough making skills and can make about two kilograms of egg cake from one kilogram of flour. Of course, it is all primitive fermentation at this time without yeast, so there will be some differences in the dough produced.

A pound of egg cake looks like a lot, and it feels like a great deal to buy a large batch.

The positioning of the pastry shop is to take the route of the common people, the route of being close to the people, so of course the packaging can be simplified. The powerful families in the city are all doing business, and it is not easy for them to do it at present.

No connections, no strength.

When Liu's father started his business, he did not think of taking the high-end route of the rich and powerful. Although the rich and powerful have money, they are still a minority after all. The common people and the middle class are the majority of the people and the largest group.

These people are not of very high status, but they have some assets. As long as the food in the shop is good, the servants in their homes will naturally be arranged to work there.

Just after noon, all the dim sum brought to the store today were sold out.

Taking into account the store opening promotions, Liu Caiyun prepared two large cloth bags for each item, each bag containing about 100 kilograms, and they were all sold out.

"Sorry, sorry, all the dim sum in the store is sold out today. Customers who come later can come back tomorrow. During the first three days of our store opening, we have a promotion of buy one pound and get half a pound free. Let's go back early today to prepare more, and strive to ensure that all customers can enjoy their favorite dim sum tomorrow."

While Liu Caiyun apologized to the last few slightly disappointed customers, she instructed Xiaoling and her husband to clean up the store quickly, with a smile of satisfaction and expectation on her face.

She knew that today's hot scene far exceeded her expectations. It was not only a recognition of her craftsmanship, but also the best reward for her hard work.

"Okay, let's go back early to help today. We need to prepare more for tomorrow."

Xiaoling cleaned up the chopping board neatly, while Xiaoyang was also putting the tables and chairs in order. There was only one long table in the shop, leaning against the wall at the entrance, designed just like a spicy hot pot shop. The space was too small, so this arrangement provided a row of seats for people to sit.

"Yes, Sister Caiyun, this business is so good."

"Today is the opening day, and we deliver a large volume. Business won't be this good after we stop delivering."

There was no place for mule carts to park in a shop like theirs, so they could only park them in a special parking area for mule carts outside the city.

The three of them walked out of the city.

Xiao Yang walked at the back carrying a backpack with an oilcloth bag in it and two large wooden basins tied on top.
