The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 101 Training Female Waitresses
The attack launched by Su Shi Yuan on Peach Blossom Desserts did not cause Tong Huaqiong and her gang of scoundrels to panic.

Everyone should go about their business.

Tong Huaqiong fully enjoyed her three-day holiday without having to set up her stall.

She put the oven in her home into use and discovered that the pastries it produced were comparable to those baked in commercial ovens of later generations.

It must be said that Qin Qingyou has a craftsman's spirit, building such a perfect oven for her.

After Ma Huateng sold the shop to her, she decided that the first thing she would do was to ask Qin Qingyou to repair two ovens.

Tong Huaqiong had taken a close look at Ma Huateng's wine shop last time; there was a huge courtyard behind it, it was practically a chosen shop. That courtyard could be carved out to build a roasting oven room and two storage rooms.

Tong Huaqiong generously displayed the various baked pastries on the table for her family to enjoy.

Although his family sells pastries, they can't afford to let everyone eat as much as they want. After all, every bite costs money, and the Gu family isn't exactly flush with cash yet.

The whole family was overjoyed; they didn't eat their meals, only snacks.

Gu Yaozu, in particular, was stuffing all sorts of pastries into his mouth like a starving ghost being reincarnated. If Liu Yue'e hadn't stopped him, his belly probably would have burst.

Tong Huaqiong wasn't really looking for snacks. She was looking at her mud house and dilapidated furniture, thinking about renovating the house and making it more comfortable, but all of that would cost money.

When she makes a lot of money, she wants to renovate her house into a beautiful and comfortable place, just like Master Huang.

Thinking this way, she felt full of energy.

Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe were sent by Tong Huaqiong to the town to keep an eye on Manager Feng and his nephew. Gu Dahan diligently guarded the few acres of wheat at home, while Chen Sufeng took on the household chores.

Inspired by the bustling atmosphere, Tong Huaqiong decided not to waste her three-day holiday and began to conduct vocational training with Liu Yue'e.

The Peach Blossom Dessert Shop is definitely going to open, and according to her plan, Liu Yue'e will be the first waitress at Peach Blossom Dessert Shop.

These days, most shops lack a service mindset, especially towards ordinary customers, who often treat them with disdain. She absolutely would not allow such a situation to occur in her shop.

While we can't treat customers like gods like some later restaurants, it's important to provide them with a welcoming and comfortable experience.

Liu Yue'e's first requirement for working as a waitress was her good looks. Isn't that obvious? When she was a young woman, she was the most beautiful girl in Qinghewan Village. The fact that she was chosen by Yan Gou Gu Da Shu proves that her title as the top village beauty wasn't just for show.

Secondly, although Liu Yue'e is a chatterbox who likes to gossip and has a bit of a temper, she is also lively, cheerful and infectious. The fact that the young wives and older women in the village were willing to let Liu Yue'e into their homes to chat, despite Tong Dajiao's previous bad reputation, shows that Liu Yue'e still has a unique charm that can win people's hearts.

A daughter-in-law like this would be perfect for training and working as a waitress at Peach Blossom Dessert Shop.

At first, Liu Yue'e was very happy.

In this era, all the shop assistants were men. Even in cosmetics and jewelry shops that targeted women, there were very few female shop assistants. Before she had even taken over her own shop, the first shop assistant her mother-in-law considered was Liu Yue'e.

What does this mean? It means that her mother-in-law values ​​her highly.

Not to mention Qinghewan, in the entire Yanguan Town, which mother-in-law would want her daughter-in-law to show her face in public? But her mother-in-law was willing, which suited Liu Yue'e's wishes perfectly.

She was going crazy from talking about neighbors in Qinghewan every day. Qinghewan was too small and she couldn't use her talents at all. She wanted to go to the shop and interact with customers.

She was confident that with her silver tongue, she could definitely win over all the customers at Peach Blossom Dessert Shop.

Tong Huaqiong's training methods were entirely in accordance with later standards, with smiles and enthusiasm in just the right way, neither obsequious nor hypocritical.

At first, Liu Yue'e found it strange, but by the end of the day she was too tired to move.

If it weren't for her mother-in-law's sincere attitude and genuine desire for her to participate in the peach blossom dessert, she would have thought her mother-in-law was deliberately mistreating her.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about the standard smile that shows eight teeth. She never knew there were such rules for smiling. She thought it was simple—just smiling, right? Just showing eight teeth, right? But when she actually smiled, it was either too much or too fake.

The mother-in-law made her practice in front of a broken mirror, but that wasn't enough, so she made her practice by biting chopsticks.

Her lips were swollen from practicing.

Not only did Tong Huaqiong practice smiling, but she also had Liu Yue'e practice her posture.

There were basically no female shop assistants in the shops in town. The female shop assistants that Liu Yue'e encountered were mostly the shop owners' wives, who, according to Tong Huaqiong, were stereotypical female shop assistants.

With his hands on his hips and a handkerchief in hand, he was quick and impulsive, and would often lash out at people.

This is not the fault of the female business owners. After all, it is not easy for women to do business in this era, so they must establish a tough and unapproachable image.

Isn't Tong Huaqiong's image the same?

Tong Huaqiong is the boss, so she can do this, but if she wants to create the number one internet-famous pastry shop in Yanguan Town, she must come up with something fresh and refreshing.

Let's start by practicing on Liu Yue'e.

Liu Yue'e stood straight against the wall, a pair of chopsticks between her teeth.

Tong Huaqiong ordered Gu Yaozu to supervise her. If she made the slightest movement, her lackey son would yell and complain, and Tong Huaqiong would make her practice more.

She had mouth pain, back pain, and leg cramps. Even in these conditions, her mother-in-law said that not making her practice balancing a rice jar on her head was already being very gentle with her.

Liu Yue'e was so tired she had no temper left; she had never suffered like this since marrying into the Gu family.

She was even a little envious of her sister-in-law, Chen Sufen. Although baking pastries was tiring, at least she was free and easy.

She thought that her quick wit would allow her to act like the boss at Peach Blossom Dessert Shop, but Tong Huaqiong clearly told her that she was only there to be a waitress, and if she dared to act like the boss, she should go back to farming.

Since you're going to be a waiter, you need to have the awareness of a waiter. For example, you shouldn't get into conflicts with customers, and you should have good manners and attitude, just like you're being trained now.

My mother-in-law said that this was the only way to retain customers.

She considered giving up at one point, but she was unwilling to give up.

The temptation to go to town was just too great.

Moreover, if she didn't get involved in running the Peach Blossom Dessert Shop, she was afraid that the shop would be controlled by Gu Taohua and the eldest son's family in the future, and the second son's family wouldn't get anything.

This was intolerable to Liu Yue'e, who always loved to take advantage of others.

Liu Yue'e practiced like this until the next day, and she felt like she had died once.

The following afternoon, while Tong Huaqiong was continuing to train the "waitresses" at home, Ma Huateng sneaked into the door.

When Tong Huaqiong saw Ma Huateng enter the door, she was overjoyed. The fact that he had come to Qinghe Bay in less than three days meant that Ma Huateng had accepted her conditions.

Tong Huaqiong went to greet them with great enthusiasm. It wasn't enough for the other party to just agree to sell her the shop; the price hadn't been finalized yet.

She still wants to haggle over the price.

"Aunt Tong, I've been looking for you in town for ages. Why aren't you out at your stall today?" Ma Huateng asked Tong Huaqiong as he arrived at the Gu family compound.

Tong Huaqiong ushered Ma Huateng into the house and instructed Liu Yue'e to serve Ma Huateng tea with a straight back, a bright smile, and eight teeth showing, according to her service requirements. Ma Huateng was so surprised that he almost knocked over the teacup.
