NOVEL NEXT Chapter 164 Too Enthusiastic
When it was time for the night market, Mao Xi's original plan was to go back to Liuxiang Snacks first and leave Muzhiyuan alone to sell coffee in Kaitang County.
However, today the coffee shop outside the window is very popular.
She drove the carriage back to Liuxiang Snacks, replenished a bag of coffee beans, and called Lu Da and Lou Lan'er to help.
The Liuxiang snacks were left to Brother Ying, Dajiang, Yaomei and Xiaoqing for the time being.
Mr. Sun and his wife also came to Liu's fruit cake shop, and maid Xiaohong queued up to buy coffee.
Mr. Sun and Miss Zhou came to say hello to Ma Xi: "Miss Ma Xi, I didn't expect you to open a coffee shop here in the end. Congratulations!"
Miss Zhou was a little regretful. If only she had worked harder and let Shu Xi open a coffee cake shop with her.
The business of this coffee cake shop is really good.
Miss Zhou suggested to Mr. Sun: "My lord, why don't we open a coffee and cake shop? It's easier than opening a restaurant."
Mr. Sun observed the people who came to buy and analyzed: "Currently there is only one in Kaitang County. If we open one, we can just take advantage of this popularity, and there will be few competitors."
After the two bought the coffee, they immediately went back to plan the location of the shop.
Several shopkeepers from various fruit cake shops in Kaitang County were also observing Mao Xi's shop from a distance.
"They are trying to force us into a desperate situation. I haven't figured out the formula for their fruit yet, and now they are selling drinks again."
"To sell drinks, open a drink shop or teahouse, and open it together with a fruit cake shop. It's neither fish nor fowl. I think they will definitely lose money within a month of opening."
"No, it's just the first day, and we're giving free drinks to passers-by. Do we need to find someone to greet them again?"
"No, didn't you suffer enough losses last time? Let's just wait and see what happens."
Lou Lan'er saw several shopkeepers of fruit cake shops from a distance, pointing at the shops.
She asked Luda to pay attention to the surroundings: "Luda, do you remember that someone came to our fruit cake shop to find trouble before?"
Luda said angrily: "If anyone dares to make trouble today, I will beat them down again."
Lou Lan'er pointed to where the shopkeepers were: "Brother Luda, I see those people are sneaky, we have to be more careful."
Luda stared at the old shopkeepers, raised his hands and made fists, cracking his knuckles.
The shopkeepers of the fruit cake shop were frightened by Luda's aura: "That big bearded guy doesn't seem to be easy to mess with. He was the one who caught the person who made trouble last time."
The fruit cake shop closes early on weekdays, and it stays open until midnight on the first day of business.
Mao Xi invited everyone back to Liuxiang Snacks for a midnight snack.
Lu Da rubbed his shoulders: "The diners in Kaitang County are so enthusiastic. Brother Mu, we have been very busy this week."
"I'm only going there for a week, and then I'll let Ah Tian make the coffee."
Lou Lan'er could tell at a glance that half of the people who came to buy coffee today were here for Mu Zhiyuan, and teased: "Brother Mu, I think a lot of young ladies today are here for you. How about you and Brother Lu Da?" People take turns going to Kaitang County?"
"This is a good idea, I agree!" Seeing that Mu Zhiyuan was still a little reluctant, Shu Xi added, "In the future, during the night market, I will go to Kaitang County to help sell fruits when I have time."
The next day, Mu Zhiyuan went to Kaitang County early in the morning. Mrs. Chen and her assistant chefs A Tian and A Tang had opened the door early and were making fruit cakes in the kitchen.
Mu Zhiyuan arranged the outdoor tables and chairs and opened the parasol.
There were already three or four young ladies waiting outside the shop.
A woman holding a red handkerchief came forward and said shyly: "Brother, let's buy four milk coffees."
Mu Zhiyuan had just taken up his post and already had customers. Ah Tang, who was in charge of the cashier, imitated Miao Xi's example and stepped forward to sell coffee beans and fruit cakes.
The young ladies left the shop excitedly with coffee in hand, each holding a takeaway fruit cake.
Seeing that there was another long queue at the door, Mrs. Chen asked A Tian to go to Lihua Town to call two helpers.
When Mao Xi heard that there was a long queue again at Kaitang's shop, he and Lou Laner went to help.
As soon as I arrived at Kaitang Fruit Cake Shop, I saw a large lady pestering Mu Zhiyuan under the parasol to teach her how to grind beans and make coffee.
Ah Tang was on the side trying to help Mu Zhiyuan get rid of this fat lady.
Sorry for the size difference, the fat lady pushed Ah Tang into the shop: "Little lady, go and do your business, don't disturb me and learn how to make coffee from this young man."
The fat lady’s eyes were full of love and she smiled like a peach blossom.
When Mao Xi saw this scene, he was full of jealousy, but he had no choice but to force the fat lady to leave.
She went to the shop and took out some sugar paintings. She found some children near the shop and whispered in their ears: "If you do one thing for my sister, all these sugar paintings will be given to you, okay?"
The little dolls stared at the various animal candy paintings, drooling, and nodded frequently.
"When you take these sugar paintings, go over to the little brother who makes coffee and ask him to make sugar paintings for you to eat. Bring him to the shop, and I will give you the remaining sugar paintings."
The dolls did as they were told, holding up the sugar paintings in one hand and dragging Mu Zhiyuan with the other, shouting: "Little brother, we want to eat the sugar paintings you made."
The fat lady took the baby's hand and said angrily: "Where is the baby? Your little brother is teaching me how to make coffee."
The child whose hand was caught stuffed the candy painting on his hand into the fat lady's mouth, and pretended to cry: "Ugh... you take my candy, and you give me the candy."
The fat lady was at a loss and let go of the little baby's hand.
Mu Zhiyuan was pulled back to the shop by several dolls.
Mao Xi took advantage of the opportunity and came to the fat lady and asked: "Madam, have you learned this coffee brewing utensil? Do you want me to demonstrate it to you again?"
"No need, no need!"
The fat lady took off the candy painting from her mouth and left angrily.
After sending away this difficult customer, Mao Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She returned to the fruit cake shop and told A Tian: "From now on, Brother Mu and Brother Luda will grind coffee for the guests in the shop. If it is a difficult young lady who has purchased brewing tools, A Tian will It's up to you to go up and demonstrate.
If you have some difficult husband-in-law, let Luda or Brother Mu help you deal with it. Our coffee window has just opened, so remember not to conflict with the guests. "
Ah Tian wrote it down silently.
A week later, there were too few temporary tables and chairs outside the dining area and could no longer meet demand.
Mao Xi plans to buy the small shop next to the fruit cake shop and build it into an independent teahouse and coffee shop.
She found the seller, bought it for 10 gold, and contacted a carpenter to redecorate the shop in the style of Liuxiang Snacks' coffee room.
She also wants Qi Rui to paint some good paintings for her cafe.
Before the new coffee shop was renovated, a similar coffee and cake shop opened in Kaitang County. It was owned by Sun Gongzi and his wife.
