Chapter 203 Cheating
The carriage drove directly into the backyard of the shop.
Xiaojie jumped down from the carriage and ran to masturbate Xiaohei.
Xiao Hei has not been very free since he came to the county town. He has been tied to a pillar in the backyard with a rope. He is almost depressed. When he saw his little master, he barked excitedly.
"Xiaojie!"
Ying Bao came out of the kitchen and waved to him: "Come and eat chestnut cake."
I just made a pot this morning, it's hot, crispy and delicious.
Jiang Jie ran into the kitchen and saw his second cousin wrapping chestnut cakes. A large iron pan was placed on the stove. She put the wrapped chestnut cakes into the pan one by one.
Next to it is a bamboo plaque of freshly baked chestnut cake, which is exuding a rich aroma.
Jiang Jie picked up a piece and took a bite.
It's really delicious, much better than the teacher's chestnut cake.
While making chestnut cakes, Yingbao asked about her brother's study status. She was very happy to know that Mr. Wu often praised him.
My younger brother will definitely be admitted to a high official position.
Outside the store, just as Jiang Cheng put ten boxes of packaged chestnut cakes on the shelves, someone walked into the store.
"Brother, how do you sell your specialties?"
Jiang Cheng: "What do you want to buy? There is a price on each item."
The visitor was wearing a brocade robe and a turban on his head, with a gorgeous silk flower on his turban. He looked like a wealthy person.
"Hey, the prices of your products are not low. Can it be cheaper if I buy more?" The flower-wearing man had a thick layer of powder on his face and painted his eyebrows so that his true appearance could not be seen.
Jiang Cheng looked him up and down and said, "How much do you want to buy, sir? We won't give a discount for less than thirty boxes."
Dai Huannan laughed and suddenly took out a folding fan from his waist and shook it, "I can't buy so many for the time being, so give me two boxes of pastries first."
As he spoke, he took out copper coins from his wallet to pay the bill, picked up two boxes of chestnut cakes and left.
Jiang Cheng collected the money and continued to sit at the counter and draw product labels.
He learned painting skills from that student, and now he is much faster. He can draw more than a dozen pictures an hour.
Unknowingly, at noon, Jiang Quanlai went to the backyard to eat with his eldest brother, and saw a man wearing a brocade robe walking into the shop.
Jiang Cheng recognized this person as the customer who bought two boxes of chestnut cakes earlier.
"Hey, I'm busy." The man asked with a smile: "Your pastries are good, please give me four more boxes."
Jiang Cheng had no doubt that he was there and gave him four boxes.
The man paid the money but did not leave. Instead, he said to Jiang Cheng, "Can you help me deliver these four boxes of pastries to Feihe Tower? I am the owner of Feihe Tower."
Jiang Quan knew Feihe Tower and said quickly: "I'll go and deliver it." The eldest brother hadn't eaten yet, so he went to deliver it himself.
Jiang Cheng nodded, tied the four boxes of pastries with thin hemp ropes, and handed them to his younger brother, telling him to ask for details before delivering the goods. After all, they didn't know the owner of Feihe Tower, so they shouldn't lose money if the goods were delivered by mistake.
"I know." Jiang Quan picked up four boxes of snacks and ran away.
Feihe Tower is a large restaurant that sells wine downstairs and entertains guests upstairs. It is a place frequented by wealthy people.
Jiang Quan ran to the front of the building. Before he could climb the steps, he saw a man dressed as a waiter coming down to greet him: "These are the pastries our boss bought, just leave them to me."
Jiang Quan glanced at Feihe Tower and asked, "What's your boss's surname? What does he look like?"
"What do you mean?" The young man glared at him: "Our boss's surname is Lai. Didn't we buy two boxes of pastries from your house this morning? Give them to me quickly, the guests upstairs are still waiting."
Jiang Quan had no choice but to hand him four boxes of pastries, and then watched the young man enter Feihe Tower.
When I returned to the shop, the customer was no longer there.
Jiang Cheng asked him: "Is that person really the owner of Feihe Tower?"
"Well, the guy inside said yes." Jiang Quan said, "Brother, you go to eat, I'll come and see the shop."
Jiang Cheng nodded and turned to go to the backyard.
Erni and Yingbao cooked a lot of dishes today, and bought braised goose and chicken from outside.
Yingbao also bought a can of boiled juice from somewhere. It was sour, sweet and very delicious.
Jiang Cheng sat down to eat and looked at the chestnut cakes that were still cooking on the stove. He said, "Chestnut cakes are selling well today. One person bought six boxes. He also said that he would come back next time and let's make more. His guests like to eat it.”
"Guests like to eat?" Ying Bao only felt strange.
Their chestnut cakes in gift boxes are priced very high, and most people will not buy the packaged ones to eat back home, unless their family is very rich.
Jiang Cheng: "It's the owner of Feihe Tower. He said that his guests are either rich or noble, and ordinary pastries are not suitable for them."
Ying Bao only felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find anything wrong.
While I was eating, I suddenly heard Jiang Quan calling from the front: "Yingbao, how many chestnut cakes are there in the house? This guest wants fifty boxes."
Fifty boxes, calculated as four hundred cents per pound, is twenty taels of silver.
This is no small sum of money.
Yingbao counted the chestnut cakes packed in the kitchen and said to her second brother, "There are forty boxes."
Jiang Quan: "Forty boxes are fine. The customers are waiting for them. Let's take them to Feihe Tower for checkout."
No cash?
Yingbao suddenly became alert and ran to the front shop to check.
I saw men wearing silk flowers on their heads waving folding fans and looking around. They didn't pay attention when they saw a little girl, and said to Jiang Quan: "Hurry up, my guest is waiting."
"Okay, come on." Jiang Quan sorted out the chestnut cakes in the shop and tied them into piles with hemp rope.
There are five boxes in a pile, and fifty boxes are estimated to be in ten piles.
Ying Bao asked: "Don't guests pay cash?"
Before Jiang Quan answered, the man glared: "What do you mean? I am the proud owner of Feihe Tower, but I still owe you a mere twenty taels for this small shop?"
The more Ying Bao looked at this person, the more something seemed wrong.
He said he was the owner of Feihe Tower, but he couldn't tell anything about being the owner except that he was full of fancy things.
And even if I apply a thick layer of white powder, it can't hide the wretched look on my face.
"Our store does not accept credit."
Ying Bao said unceremoniously: "If the customer can't pay in cash, just buy something cheaper elsewhere."
Jiang Quan was stunned, looking at his little cousin and not knowing what to say.
The man got angry, pointed at Ying Bao and cursed: "Where did you come from, you brat! How dare you be rude to me? Do you still want to do business?"
Ying Bao was not afraid of him at all, "My uncle is from the patrol shop, you dare to threaten me?"
He turned to his second cousin and said, "Go to the patrol shop to find your uncle. He said there is a liar here who wants to defraud us of our money. Huh! I know the owner of Feihe Tower, and he is not someone like you at all!"
Ying Bao's words were so conclusive that the man was stunned for a moment.
Seeing Jiang Quan really walking out of the shop, he suddenly turned around, picked up the corner of his robe and ran away.
He even dropped the folding fan in his hand and didn't bother to pick it up.
Seeing this, Jiang Quan could only come back and ask, "Ying Bao, is this person really a liar?"
"Yeah." Yingbao had encountered this once in her previous life and was almost deceived. Fortunately, she was vigilant and stingy, so the deceiver failed.
Jiang Quan was puzzled: "Then how did he cheat?"
I haven't lost anything.
Ying Bao rolled her eyes at him: "I'll give you some sweetness first, and then I'll cheat."
