A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.
Chapter 86 Busy
"You make it sound so nice, but aren't you just trying to sell bowls? What a shrewd businessman!"
Ye Qingxue had already spotted Boss Li mingling in the crowd and anticipated his trouble-making. She wasn't too surprised, but simply smiled and said, "Please don't worry, everyone. The bowls in our shop aren't for sale; they're just for lending to you."
"Take this bowl, and you can use it to buy desserts later. You can also return it, and the shop will refund you five coins."
"If you don't want the bowls from the shop, you can bring your own lunchboxes."
Ye Qingxue's eyes were clear, her words were distinct, and her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, making her appear dignified and polite.
This makes Mr. Li seem rather rude and petty.
The crowd, who had initially shown some doubt, quickly changed their attitudes.
"You're making judgments about someone before they've even finished speaking. Aren't you wronging them?"
"Yes, thankfully they explained quickly. You should apologize to them right away."
Mr. Li was so angry he was panting, glaring fiercely at Ye Qingxue.
"Why are you staring at people like that...?"
"Hey? Isn't this Mr. Li from Li's Noodle Shop?"
"Wow, I knew it! No wonder you were targeting him. It turns out he's that 'Boss Li' who plagiarized his dishes and impersonated him!"
Mr. Li was so angry that he stomped his feet and pointed at them, saying, "You guys! You've gone too far!"
"Even if it's outrageous, we didn't steal anything."
"Move aside, don't stand in front of me. I don't think you're here to eat noodles."
"That's right, get out of the way!"
The crowd rushed to help, pushing Mr. Li out and causing him to fall to the ground.
His face was ashen, and he looked extremely embarrassed. Despite being mortified, he remained defiant: "You! How dare you touch me! I'm going to report you to the authorities!"
No one paid him any attention, which made him angry, so he ran away again.
Ye Qingxue watched his dejected figure and chuckled inwardly.
"Boss, you continue, ignore him!"
Ye Qingxue was brought back to her senses and nodded with a smile: "Dear customers, our shop is newly opened, so we are offering 20% off everything and 50% off set meals. Our new products are Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes as a snack!"
"What does 'package deal' mean?" someone in the crowd asked curiously.
Everyone looked at Ye Qingxue with curiosity.
She waved her hand again, and the waiter put down a sign that read "Two Set Meals".
Set Meal 1: Classic Deliciousness (Scallion Oil Noodles, Clear Broth Noodles, Red Bean and Osmanthus Rice Balls)
Set Meal Two: Try New Products (Noodles with Soybean Paste, Brown Sugar Rice Cake)
"Set meals are sold as a set meal. New set meals are launched every day. Buying a set meal is cheaper than buying individual items. Everyone is welcome to try it."
After Ye Qingxue finished speaking with a smile, she gave Shan Xuan a look.
"Gentlemen, you may enter the shop now!" Shan Xuan called out excitedly as he stepped forward.
The crowd surged forward, looked at the set meals on the sign, and excitedly rushed into the store.
"Boss! I'll have one Set Meal One!"
"Boss, this one too, the classic delicious set meal!"
"Boss Ye, I'd like to order set meal two!"
"This way, this way..."
The guests were so enthusiastic that the four waiters were almost overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Ye Qingxue had assigned a reception area for each person in advance, so no one had to go too far and things wouldn't get chaotic.
Watching the satisfied customers eating their noodles, Ye Qingxue felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Customers gradually started arriving at the dessert and snack stand.
Shan Xuan was in charge of that area. He was very quick; he could prepare the food as soon as a customer placed an order, which made Ye Qingxue very pleased.
Looking at the bustling scene inside the store, and then turning her head to see Wen Yanyu looking in her direction at the entrance of Shidinglou across the street, Ye Qingxue smiled.
"Mr. Ye, there are two guests looking for you over there."
As Ye Qingxue was admiring the bustling scene at her new store, Shan Xuan called out to her.
Ye Qingxue glanced in the direction Shan Xuan was pointing and saw that the people looking for her were two young girls.
One of them was quite pretty, with an oval face, wearing a pink silk skirt that looked like it was made of the finest material, and a fluffy fur collar around her neck.
Another cute girl with a round face was dressed in a maid's outfit.
It seems to be a young lady from a wealthy family out for a stroll with her maid.
"Young master, how much are these noodles?" the maid asked, though her question didn't sound like she had come specifically to see her.
Ye Qingxue raised her hand and gestured around the shop, saying, "The shop is decorated with signs displaying the types and prices of our noodles. Today, as we're opening, we're offering a 20% discount, and the set meals on the signs are 50% off. Please see if you two ladies are interested."
The two girls in front of her did not reply. Ye Qingxue looked up and met the young lady's gaze, and she was slightly stunned.
The pretty young lady's eyes were shining as she looked at her.
Ye Qingxue blinked. "Miss?"
The young woman just stared at her blankly.
The maid whispered quietly behind the young lady, "Miss, I heard from Second Sister that the hero of the Lu family is this young master, isn't he? He's really handsome."
The young lady subtly pinched the maid behind her back.
She then lowered her head, blushing, and looked up at Ye Qingxue, her appearance quite captivating.
He kept thinking to himself: Yes, he is really handsome.
Ye Qingxue was neither humble nor arrogant, with a clear voice and a tall figure. She wore an ordinary black robe, but her demeanor remained undiminished.
Just as rumored, he was a handsome man who came from a small village but managed to go from a street-side noodle stall to a noodle shop in a short period of time.
She had heard of the noodle stall from before; it had started a discount campaign as soon as it opened, and the noodles were sold in limited quantities. Later, they even gave out meal tickets.
She was also in business, and she could immediately tell the sales techniques involved.
Now that the new noodle shop has opened, they've started a "set meal" promotion and a dessert and snack station. Everything is new to her, and I really don't know how this young master came up with these ideas.
Such a person is bound to be extraordinary in the future; she really wanted to get to know him.
Ye Qingxue instinctively felt that the young lady in front of her was looking at her strangely, with an admiration in her eyes that she couldn't understand.
She couldn't help but ask again, "Ladies, what kind of noodles would you like?"
"Young master, please make a recommendation for us." The young lady finally came to her senses, lowered her head, and seemed a little shy.
Ye Qingxue was even more confused. After thinking about it, she simply assumed that she was a young lady from a secluded family who was not good at dealing with people.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Ye Qingxue went back and asked Chen to make two bowls of noodles with soybean paste, along with two bowls of red bean porridge from the Osmanthus Garden, and a serving of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.
"This is our newly launched Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste). Please try it. If you can't finish it, it's okay, it's on me." Ye Qingxue placed the noodles in front of the young girl and said softly.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's getting colder these days. Ladies, please eat while it's hot to warm yourselves up."
"Thank you for your concern, young master." The young lady held the soup noodles in both hands to warm them before picking up her chopsticks and slowly eating.
Ye Qingxue turned to serve other guests when she suddenly saw Xu Guangming looking up at the signboard of Ye Qingxue's noodle shop with a smug look on his face.
"Magistrate Xu, what brings you here?"
Ye Qingxue was pleasantly surprised and walked outside.
