C16 016 Called Attention

There was still a lot of flour in the house, so Xia Yi bought some red beans and went back to prepare the Red Bean Cake materials for the next day.

The next day, she specially made more food. If there were still more to sell, she could still go out on the streets to try out her food.

A few days ago, he didn't ask for much money, he just wanted to make a name for himself and make plans for the future.

Only, Xia Yi never thought that when she carried the basket to the Lingshan Town s, she would already see a few people standing at the Bean Curd Shop s gate.

Xia Yi originally thought that those people were here to buy tofu, but she never thought that they were here specifically to buy Red Bean Cake s.

The person in front was a young lady, whom Xia Yi found unfamiliar, but this lady was dressed exactly the same as the maids standing behind Old Lady Chu yesterday.

The servant girl from the Chu Family asked for fifty Red Bean Cake s, causing the people behind her to hiss continuously.

"Girl, you bought them all by yourself, what do we do with the people behind us?" The man who spoke had bought Xia Yi's Red Bean Cake yesterday, so he knew that Xia Yi didn't do much.

Yesterday when he bought it, he only had two pieces left. It was not enough for him to go home, so he had rushed here early today. However, he didn't expect that the girl in front of him would ask for fifty pieces so quickly.

The female servant from Chu Family nodded slightly towards that person, and said apologetically: "My old lady wants to invite guests, the number of guests really cannot be reduced."

Although the servant girl did not follow yesterday, she had heard from the servant girl that she was travelling with. The old lady originally wanted to buy some more, but was advised by Xia Yi.

When she said this number, she was slightly uneasy, afraid that Xia Yi would not sell it to her.

Xia Yi laughed: "Big brother, do not worry, I specially made some more today."

Xia Yi said as she placed the basket on top of the case. As she lifted the cloth covering the basket, she could see that it was filled to the brim with vines.

The Red Bean Cake was small, so it should be able to fit around one to two hundred of them.

The Chu Family servant girl and the man at the end of the line heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Xia Yi didn't even need to advertise on the streets before she sold out her whole basket of Red Bean Cake.

Amongst these customers, only a very small number of them were regular customers from yesterday, the majority of them heard that the Red Bean Cake's taste was not weaker than Xiangji Shop, but their prices were much cheaper than Xiangji Shop, so they specially came over to try it.

Other than having to become a Red Bean Cake, Xia Yi also had to waste around four hours or so to go up the mountain and cook for Xiao Linmu. Every day, he didn't have much energy to make Red Bean Cake, at most, she could only make a basket for it.

As a result, the squad at Bean Curd Shop entrance was even earlier than the previous day.

As long as Xia Yi arrived with the basket, all of the things in the basket would be quickly taken away.

Xia Yi couldn't help but sigh. "Hunger Marketing" really applied no matter what era it was in.

Once the Red Bean Cake business was good, even Xia Changsheng's business became better. Some customers who lined up to buy Red Bean Cake would bring a piece of tofu along with them.

In just a few short days, everyone in the Lingshan Town knew that there was an unremarkable little Bean Curd Shop entrance that was lined up in a long line every day. Everyone was not buying tofu, but to try out the Red Bean Cake s in the shop.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of some people.

These days, it was the same as usual. The basket of Red Bean Cake that Xia Yi had brought over were quickly sold out, and those who did not manage to buy one at the end of the line could only leave while sighing, thinking that they had to arrive even earlier tomorrow.

After everyone had dispersed, only one person remained at the Bean Curd Shop entrance.

"Does the customer want to buy tofu?" Seeing that the man had not left, Xia Changsheng walked over.

He saw that the person's face looked somewhat familiar, and thought that he was just an old customer of Bean Curd Shop from the past, so he didn't think much about it.

The person did not answer, he only walked straight towards Xia Yi, and said: "Miss, can I have a word with you alone?"

Xia Yi saw that the person was dressed neatly and there was a ring on his thumb that was shining brightly.

The original owner was just a small peasant girl who rarely went out. It was impossible for her to know such a person.

Xia Yi hesitated slightly, but still nodded in the end.

Xia Changsheng tactfully left the Bean Curd Shop for the two of them, and didn't forget to remind Xia Yi as they walked out: "If there's anything, just shout, I'll guard at the store's entrance."

After Xia Changsheng left, the man took out a money pouch from his waist and placed it on the table.

"I am the shopkeeper of the Xiangji Shop, and have come here today to invite young miss over for a snack. I will spend one to two months' worth of money each month, would young miss like to consider it?"

Xia Yi raised her eyebrows. A tael of silver was indeed very attractive.

These few days, Xia Yi had also thoroughly figured out the prices of the West Liang s. She knew that the average monthly price of a dim sum master would only be around five hundred coins.

But Xia Yi had no choice but to reject it.

"Lady, do you find the monthly allowance too little? "I still have other requests, so I might as well say it. As long as I can fulfill it, I will do my best." Boss Hee slightly frowned, but still tried to persuade him otherwise.

"It's not about the monthly allowance. It's about me." Xia Yi replied.

Right now, she still had to go up the mountain and cook for Xiao Linmu everyday, so she didn't have the time to be a snack master at the Xiangji Shop.

After becoming a dim sum master, Xia Yi needed to work on time every day, which also meant that she could not take care of Xia Yue and Xia Yang.

Furthermore, making snacks was only a temporary measure. Xia Yi still had other plans, but she needed to save up enough capital.

Boss Hee sighed regretfully and asked: "May I ask if Miss's Red Bean Cake recipe is for sale?"

With that, he added, "As long as you are willing to sell me the formula, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

The Xiangji Shop had been open for more than ten years, and had steadily remained at the head of the Lingshan Town Shop. However, his Xiangji Shop business was not so good that it required others to line up early.

That was the reason why the Boss Hee had such high interest in Xia Yi's Red Bean Cake.

Hearing Boss Hee's words, Xia Yi's heart moved, the seller was also not out of the question.

On the surface, Xia Yi did not reveal it, she only said: "I need to think about it, I will give you an answer after we discuss it."

Xia Yi agreed to give Xia Changsheng a share. Naturally, she had to inform Xia Changsheng about the recipe as well.

After Boss Hee left, Xia Changsheng came in with a heavy expression, and anxiously asked: "Xia Yi, he didn't find trouble with you just now right? When I went out earlier, Old Zhang told me that person was Xiangji Shop's shopkeeper. Why did he look so familiar? "

The Xiangji Shop was also a dim sum shop. Strictly speaking, it was considered Xia Yi's competitor, and if a competitor came knocking on his door, there would normally be nothing good about it.

Xia Yi shook her head: "I'm fine, Boss Hee came here to buy the Red Bean Cake's formula from us."

"Buy a formula?" So you came here for this? " Xia Changsheng muttered, as though he was not too happy.

"Is there a problem?" After interacting with Xia Changsheng for a few days, she understood clearly that Xia Changsheng was definitely not a greedy person.

He must have other reasons why he wasn't happy that Xia Yi was selling the formula.
