“Yes. Then I’ll keep your blueprint for now. As for the exact measurements, I’ll give them to Li Xiao so that you can decide on the measurements for the furniture.”

“Sure! Thank you, Uncle Jiang!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly thanked him.

“You’re welcome! If there is any work in the future, let me know!” Jiang Dahe said.

“Of course!”

Lin Xiaoyue treated Jiang Dahe to another bowl of cold cakes and then sent him out.

Then, it was almost time. When Aunt Wang came over, Lin Xiaoyue packed her things, took the sign that Xiao Qing wrote, and got on the ox-cart.

This trip to town, Lin Xiaoyue brought 32 buckets of cold cakes.

…..

12 of them were for Ruyi Restaurant. Lin Xiaoyue was prepared to sell the remaining 20 with Aunt Wang.

The two of them went to the Ruyi Restaurant to deliver the goods and then went to the Qingyun Academy.

Lin Xiaoyue asked Aunt Wang to set up the stall, and she went to see Mr. Qin to borrow some rice. Then, she stuck the sign at the door of her shop.

After that, many people who came to buy the cold cakes noticed it and asked Lin Xiaoyue about it.

Lin Xiaoyue answered them patiently.

“When our shop opens, you can come inside to buy cold cakes!”

“But the rent is high, so there will be no discount for the cold cakes. They will be sold at 5 wen per bowl!” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Some people felt that an extra wen was nothing.

After all, they could enjoy the cold cakes indoors, which was much better than eating outside.

There were also some who felt that it was not worth it to pay an extra wen for that.

Especially for takeaways, if you bought a lot, it would add up.

However, because of this, everyone bought more while the price was still the same.

In addition, more scholars had heard about the cold cakes. Today’s business was better than yesterday’s.

Even though Lin Xiaoyue had prepared 20 buckets of cold cakes and was selling them near Qingyun Academy, there were only 7 buckets left after the peak period.

After the peak period, there were more scholars who came to buy the cold cakes than yesterday.

They stayed about half an hour later than yesterday, but Lin Xiaoyue and Aunt Wang still managed to return home before dark.

On the way back, Aunt Wang seemed to be happier than Lin Xiaoyue.

“Judging from today’s business, 1 think we can sell 5 more buckets tomorrow!” Aunt Wang smiled at Lin Xiaoyue.

“Yes, but it’ll be too late when we finish.” Lin Xiaoyue responded with a smile.

“It’s not late! Let’s stay for another half an hour. It’ll be dark by the time we reach the village. I heard there’s a night market in town!”

If they stayed for the night market, they could sell a lot more.

Lin Xiaoyue turned around.

“If we stay for another half an hour, it will be dark by the time we reach the village.”

Although there was moonlight in the summer, it was difficult to see at night.

In addition, they were both women.

Although she wasn’t afraid of bad people, it would be troublesome if she was targeted.

“When the shop opens, we’ll stay open until night time.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

“Then, I’ll just get someone to manage the shop.”

Aunt Wang’s eyes lit up.

“You’re hiring?”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, “yeah! My mother has to stay at home, I have to make cold cakes and set up a stall, so 1 guess we will hire two people..”
