169 Increasing the Sales

“I think 200 bowls won’t be enough for noon.”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, “there are 16 buckets on the ox-cart. I don’t expect to sell them all in the market. If you need it, I’ll give you two more buckets.”

“Done!” Chef Liu said happily.

Then, he instructed Liu San to get two more buckets.

He gave Lin Xiaoyue a list and instructed the waiter to return the buckets from yesterday.

Since they were in a hurry, Lin Xiaoyue asked Aunt Wang to collect them while she went to settle the money with the accountant.

This time, they received 750 wen in total. The accountant gave Lin Xiaoyue seven taels of silver and fifty copper coins.

Lin Xiaoyue took the money and quickly returned to the kitchen.

Aunt Wang had already placed the wooden buckets back on the ox-cart and was waiting for her.

“Let’s go,” Lin Xiaoyue said to Aunt Wang and led her out of the door.

Then, they got on the ox-cart and rode to the west of the city.

Thanks to the old man who was selling buns next to them, they had a spot.

Lin Xiaoyue thanked him, and then she and Aunt Wang started to set up the stall.

After everything was packed, Lin Xiaoyue stood behind the small table and began to call out to customers.

“We are selling cold cakes! It’s a sweet and sticky dessert made of polished rice!”

“It’s only 5 wen a bowl, and 8 wen for two bowls! It’s delicious and helps relieve the summer heat. If it’s not delicious, it’s free of charge!”

Her clear voice immediately attracted people’s attention.

Some of them had tried the cold cakes the day before and knew that they were delicious and cheap, so they quickly came over.

Lin Xiaoyue cut the cold cakes for the customers, while Aunt Wang invited the guests to sit down at a table.

When there were no seats left, they apologized and asked them to stand.

She was ready to wash the dishes at any time.

If Lin Xiaoyue was busy and she was free, she would copy what Lin Xiaoyue did and shouted loudly to attract customers.

Aunt Wang also helped answer questions from the customers. She was just as helpful as Lin Xiaoyue herself.

In the beginning, Aunt Wang wasn’t sure what to do.

However, she was much braver than Liu Shi and got used to it after a while.

She was efficient, making Lin Xiaoyue feel much more relaxed.

In a short while, Lin Xiaoyue sold two buckets of cold cakes.

Some people knew that they could take the bowls home, and return them the next day. After confirming that, they bought more cold cakes.

“Are you guys coming tomorrow? If you don’t, how am I going to return this bowl?” A lady also wanted to buy four more bowls of cold cakes to go, but she didn’t want to pay the 5 wen of deposit.

“Of course we’ll be here. We’ll sell these cold cakes at least until winter. There’s still more than two months.” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile, but she did not slow down.

“Who can confirm that? If you don’t come, how am I going to get my money back?” The lady sounded rude.

Lin Xiaoyue did not get angry and continued, “don’t worry, the bowls we use are all new, and they’re even cheaper than the ones in the grocery store. We prepared these bowls so that it’s easy for everyone to bring them home. We never thought of using them to make money.”

“If you need bowls at home, you can keep them. Otherwise, you can return them next time. The deposit will be refunded.”

“Sure, but…”

The people waiting at the side could not stand it anymore.
