410 Welcome!
“I’ll get down from the door near the shaft, and you can get down from the back,” Yue Jiaojiao said, lost in her thoughts. “Although we’ll still be discovered, the impact will be more manageable.”
Even though the current customs were relatively open, it was still enough for a couple to stay in a motionless carriage for four hours in broad daylight, which was enough to arouse people’s imagination.
“The main point today is to spread the bakery’s reputation. If they start talking nonsense and forget the main point, then all our efforts today will be in vain.”
Zhao Zhan couldn’t hold back his laughter any longer, and then said with a serious face, “Don’t worry, my dearest wife. While you were sleeping, I had already entered and exited the carriage a few times. The people outside all know that there is someone in the carriage. Moreover, I will not let you fall into a difficult situation before the opening.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lady Yun’s voice came from outside the carriage. “Boss, it was dark inside the shop just now, so you had no choice but to wait in the carriage. Now it’s time to open the shop. Are you ready?”
There was a commotion outside the shop.
Yue Jiaojiao tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Zhan. “You’ve already made the arrangements?”
Zhao Zhan was afraid of angering his lover, so he raised his hand to help her tidy up her messy hair and dress. Then, he jumped off the carriage, ignoring the noise around him, and said, “Be careful when you come down. I’ll help you.”
Yue Jiaojiao bent her back and extended her hand to Zhao Zhan before she steadily alighted from the carriage.
Lady Yun was holding a wooden tray with a red silk cloth on it and a knife on top. “Boss, please hold the scissors.”
The wooden frame used to block the shop’s entrance had been removed by Master Sun and his men last night. Now, only a piece of cloth was left covering it, and the outermost layer was a red silk ribbon with a large ribbon in the middle.
“Shopkeeper, hurry up. We’ve been waiting to go in and see what you’re selling in your shop.”
“I heard that this branch will be the first one in Shangjing. It’s not sold anywhere else. If we didn’t get this voucher at the opposite restaurant yesterday, we wouldn’t have come to join in the fun.”
“Speaking of the opposite restaurant, I have to talk about it. I heard that if you want to go in to eat, you need to get a number plate. That number plate is already filled up for five days.”
“Didn’t you hear? That restaurant has things that other restaurants don’t have. The taste is so unique. I was lucky enough to try it yesterday. The other restaurant meals are not even worth mentioning in front of their specialty.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s ears perked up as she listened. She didn’t mind that they were all focused on the restaurant, so she picked up a pair of scissors and nimbly cut the silk cloth in two.
The tall and burly Zhao Zhan, who was standing beside her, raised his hand and pulled the oilcloth down with force.
“This is…”
“The owner of this shop is really extravagant. It’s such a small shop, but they actually used glass to make the front.”
The wall of the shop facing the street had been changed to glass. One could see everything inside the shop from the outside.
There were no crowded counters inside, only two glass cabinets filled with freshly baked bread.
Li Xiangjun saw that the people outside were stunned. She went to the backyard and took out a piece of bread from the oven. In an instant, the fragrance of wheat mixed with milk spread out domineeringly.
“What’s that smell?”
“This thing, why is it even more fragrant than the pastry shop that claimed to have been in business for several generations?”
Li Xiangjun arranged the bread in the oven and then brought out the tray that she had prepared in advance. “Dear guests, there are many small soft cakes here. You can have a sample of them. If you like them, you can go in and have a look. We have marked the price of each cake next to it.”
