More than ten customers who were queuing up at Jin Ji were shouted at by Su Ergou!
These were all old customers. They had eaten the pancakes sold by the siblings and felt they were much better than the pancakes sold in Jin Ji. It was just that they did not sell a lot every day. If they came late, it was very likely that they would not be able to s.n.a.t.c.h them.
“There are also wife pancakes in Jin Ji,” a guest who still chose to queue said. “I wonder if the things those country b.u.mpkins sell are clean. What if I get sick from eating them?”
A young master said, “That’s right. If you eat snacks from Jin Ji, you can live for 200 years!”
The customer wanted to scold this kid for speaking like this, but when he saw that the other party was a scholar, he closed his mouth.
Shen Chuan snorted and opened his fan. He no longer queued for the Jin Ji and swaggered to the line of authentic wife pancakes.
“Give me five red bean fillings!”
“I want two green beans! Two red beans!”
“Do you have egg yolk pastries?”
“Chestnut cake! Chestnut cake! Chestnut cake!”
“Do you have any wife pancakes with chestnut filling today? Leave a few for me! Don’t sell them all later!”
The siblings only sold 100 pancakes at the stall. All the regular customers knew that they had to s.n.a.t.c.h the pancakes. Otherwise, they would be gone!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Everyone, don’t squeeze. You can buy it since we made a hundred more today.”
“I want two of the dried plums!” said a young woman.
“Sorry, I didn’t make any dried plum vegetables today. There’s a new flavor. Do you want to try it?” Su Xiaoxiao cut a small piece of meat floss pancake and handed it to her.
The woman took it and gave the child a bite before eating the rest herself.
The mother and daughter liked it very much.
The little girl said, “Mother, I don’t want those with dried plum vegetables anymore. I want this!”
“Let me try it too!” An auntie said.
“Okay.” Su Xiaoxiao cut a little for her and the guests in front.
After everyone tasted it, they were as stunned as ever.
Indeed, the snacks sold by this pair of siblings had never disappointed anyone!
The aunt asked, “It’s different from the pancakes you sold previously. Is this also a wife pancake? What filling is it?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at Su Ergou.
Su Ergou straightened his back and said proudly, “This is Ergou Pancake!”
Ergou Pancake?
Was it the Ergou they understood?
Why did they come up with such a strange name?
It was too old-fashioned!
However, the taste was really superb!
The salty and sweet taste was different from the smooth texture of the dried plum vegetables. It was rustling and soft, and the more one chewed, the more fragrant it became!
Its crust was also softer, giving off a gentle and plump feeling, making people subconsciously bite it gently.
Oh my G.o.d, how could someone make pancakes that were so delicious?
“Give me ten!” A young man said.
“I want ten too!” The auntie behind him said.
“Fifteen!”
“Twenty!”
Wait, you haven’t asked for the price!
Had she become so rich after the new year?
The meat floss pancakes were priced higher than the wife pancakes. Firstly, the process was more complicated, and secondly, the cost price was higher.
The honey date meat pancake cost 15 copper coins, and the salted egg yolk meat floss pancake cost 25 copper coins.
This price was definitely not economical. Liu Ping was shocked when he heard it at first. He estimated that they could only sell half of what they had at most.
However, he only went to the kitchen to pa.s.s a message. When he came back, he was dumbfounded!
Did they arrange the wrong place for setting up the stall? Jin Ji was beside them!
Su Ergou’s hands went weak from receiving the copper coins. People kept handing them to him, and those that couldn’t reach him stuffed them into his arms.
“Aiyaya! Don’t s.n.a.t.c.h, don’t s.n.a.t.c.h! Line up!”
“Don’t touch me!”
“Howl! Who pinched my b.u.t.t!”
Su Ergou was in chaos!
Su Xiaoxiao methodically wrapped snacks for the guest. Her movements were smooth and her memory was amazing. There was no mistake.
“Sir, your three chestnut cakes.”
“Little brother, your five Ergou pancakes.”
“…Yes, limited to five per person.”
“Alright, I’ll wrap it up for you immediately. It’s a total of 120 copper coins.”
Liu Ping was dumbfounded. His wife had mentioned to him that Daya’s business was very good. She could sell all the pancakes she made every day.
However, selling the goods in one day was considered sold out; so was selling them in one hour. The queue was almost longer than the one at the entrance of Jin Ji!
Those who didn’t know better would think that this was the real stall of Jin Ji.
“Everyone, don’t get to the wrong place—Jin Ji is here! The snacks are about to be served! They’re not selling Jin Ji’s snacks outside! Jin Ji doesn’t set up roadside stalls!”
It was a newcomer from Jin Ji.
He was likely Manager He’s trusted aide. When he came out and saw that many of the customers in line had been s.n.a.t.c.hed, he thought that the other party was an imposter, so he shouted.
An auntie carrying a basket retorted with her hands on her hips, “I love buying from a roadside stall!”
Everyone laughed out loud!
“Yes, didn’t they buy from the siblings’ roadside stall?”
“Where did this fool come from?”
“And the wrong one?’ Even if you went the wrong way, we won’t!”
The snacks from Jin Ji were also out, but none of Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou’s customers were s.n.a.t.c.hed away.
Not only that, Su Xiaoxiao clearly felt that many of the guests this time were stewards or servants of big families.
This meant that her customer base had risen to another level.
She was about to enter a new market. This was definitely the biggest surprise of the new year!
It was not until the 200 pancakes were sold out that the customers returned to line up at Jin Ji.
Such a situation would not have happened a month ago.
When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou just set up the stall, the customers couldn’t buy snacks from Jin Ji, so they came to buy snacks from the siblings.
Liu Ping was shocked.
Was he really seeing things just now? He had been in town for a few years, but he had never seen anyone s.n.a.t.c.h business from Jin Ji like this. It was just a roadside stall!
“Give me a few pancakes. Any flavor will do.”
“Sorry, they’re sold out. Come back tomorrow.”
“Aren’t there three more beside you?”
“Those are for my brother.”
Three live eating broadcasts were Su Ergou’s standard.
Business was too good today. He hadn’t had time to eat.
Su Xiaoxiao remembered that she wouldn’t sell his share of happiness.
Wait, this voice…
