Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 107 Exclusive to Jinxiu Pavilion

"Hey you up there, what are you daydreaming about? Can't you hurry up? You're so slow."

Urged on by the people behind him, he finally came to his senses. He then had Madam Chen choose five kinds of oil paper, placed them on the oil paper, and then took the oil paper to the side.

There were many other people around him, discussing which one tasted better, which one their kids would like, and which one their wives would definitely prefer, etc.

The man listened attentively, thinking that he would come back tomorrow to try the rest of the food, and then, after the store opened, he would buy the best dishes he thought were the most delicious and let his family taste this heavenly delicacy.

Of course, there were quite a few people who shared the same thoughts, and only then did Madam Huang feel relieved.

Afterwards, Madam Huang hurriedly went to find a lion dance troupe, firecrackers, and so on. In her words, she absolutely could not let Jinxiuxuan fall behind in the grand opening celebration.

Xu Qingmeng's dessert gift boxes are also ready.

The gift box is exquisitely designed, made of fine sandalwood that exudes a faint woody fragrance.

The box is meticulously carved with exquisite floral patterns, including vibrant peonies, elegant plum blossoms, and refreshing lotus flowers. Each flower is lifelike, as if swaying in a gentle breeze.

Between the flowers, delicate cloud patterns are outlined with gold powder. The cloud patterns are graceful and lively, as if real clouds are floating on the surface of the box.

The lid fits perfectly with the body of the box, and the edges are inlaid with fine silver trim, shimmering with a soft silver light in the sunlight.

Xu Qingmeng looked at the gift box that had been delivered and felt very satisfied.

The interior is designed with multiple layers according to the type and size of the pastries, making it easy to arrange each type of pastry.

Xu Qingmeng thought she wouldn't achieve the effect she wanted, but she didn't expect it to turn out so well. The carpenter's skills were truly amazing.

Each box is engraved with the exclusive name of Jinxiuxuan.

Xu Qingmeng and Xinting had already prepared the pastries, and the invitations were written by Gu Yunyi himself.

This exquisite gift box is not just a container for pastries; it will also be a symbol representing the shop in the future. As soon as you see this gift box, you will know that it is a product of Jinxiuxuan.

"Excellent, very good!"

Mrs. Huang was pleasantly surprised when she saw the exquisite box.

Before long, he left with the prepared gift box.

Thanks to Jinxiuxuan's actions, the number of customers on this street didn't change much on May 30th; in fact, it seemed to be a bit more than the previous day.

However, the Su Xiang Ge restaurant across the street was much less crowded, while the Jin Xiu Xuan restaurant had a long queue of people, all eager to enjoy the food.

Moreover, the queues are getting longer and longer, and word-of-mouth is spreading.

Even before it opened, many people had already heard that a pastry shop called Jinxiuxuan was going to open on the first day of June. The taste there was absolutely amazing, comparable to, or even better than, Wufangzhai.

Many people also heard that the signature pastries would be discounted during the opening, making it a great deal. Even more so, becoming a member would grant a 10% discount on all future pastry purchases, and on one's birthday, one could receive a beautiful gift from Jinxiuxuan. Thus, word spread quickly, and in just a few days, Jinxiuxuan became a popular establishment in the eastern district.

It was already dark, and there were hardly any customers left at Suxiang Pavilion. However, there was still a long queue at the tables in front of Jinxiu Pavilion, with two large lanterns lit up nearby. The people there didn't seem to mind the darkness.

"Shopkeeper, what should we do? Should we talk to the owner?" The shop assistant asked in a low voice, noticing his bad expression.

Manager Li's face turned cold: "What are you saying to the boss? Saying that our shop is already failing before it even opens? Look at your pathetic self! Is it really that serious? Besides, haven't you seen how good business has been these past two days? We don't even know who will win yet!"

"But..." The servant swallowed back the words he was about to say when he saw the shopkeeper's murderous look.

"But what 'but'? Just do your own thing."

The waiter thought to himself, "Jinxiuxuan has already rendered this place helpless with just this free tasting."

Don't be fooled by the long queue and the generous giveaways. If you calculate carefully, cut into small pieces, each person can only get a few bites at most. In total, there's not much food at all, even after a whole day.
The amount of ingredients consumed was limited, and the apprentices in the shop had all honed their skills.

On the other hand, they lowered their prices to grab the first wave of business. Not only did they not make money, but some of their products were even sold at a loss. If business doesn't go well in the future, they will probably have a hard time breaking even.

Let alone others, even he himself, every day across from him, the aroma of freshly baked pastries wafting out was incredibly enticing. He had absolutely no confidence in his own pastries, not to mention the various drinks he had never tried before, with an endless variety of options.

If this shop were located elsewhere, I wouldn't have to worry about making a living in the future. I just don't know why the owner is going against Jinxiuxuan.

Forget it, Manager Li doesn't want to hear any of this. He only wants to prove himself to his boss, so why would he bow his head?
Not only did he ignore the servant's words, but he was also told to mind his own business. The servant had no choice but to remain silent, wondering if he could keep this job for long.

The first two days of June were blessed with clear, sunny skies.

"What smells so good?"

Early risers, not yet fully awake, smelled an enticing sweet aroma, which made them instinctively sniff the air.

"You didn't know that? Jinxiuxuan opened today, so their pastries must have just come out of the oven."

A man passing by couldn't help but sniff, "Sigh, at first it was just the neighbors who were tempted, but now the whole street smells so good. The chef at Jinxiuxuan is really shameless. Who can resist such a delicious aroma?"

What the man said was not an exaggeration at all. Before, he was just an apprentice practicing, doing small-scale work in the kitchen. Now, taking advantage of the daylight, he was carrying large platters of food to the shop. The shop's door was wide open, and it was no exaggeration to say that the aroma filled the entire street.

"Ah, this must be the fragrance emanating from Jinxiuxuan."

"Definitely is."

"Whether it is or not, just follow this fragrance, you can't go wrong, it really smells wonderful."

"It's finally open! I had a couple of bites a few days ago and now I can't eat anything else. I even dream about it at night."

The firecrackers were still hanging outside, and before the servant could light them, customers had already arrived at the shop.
