Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 108 Pearl Milk Tea
Madam Huang arrived early and, upon seeing the situation, hurriedly said, "Where is everyone? Why is no one here? Hurry up, light the cannons!"

"Hey, it's here!"

Xu Qingmeng was in the kitchen, directing and coordinating the group. There was no need to worry about the drinks; it was just the pastry shop where everyone was organized and efficient, with everyone working in an orderly manner. So the kitchen was in perfect order.

A moment later, a series of crackling sounds could be heard outside, followed shortly by a cacophony of cheers.

Xu Qingmeng opened a oven full of pastries, put them in a basket, and handed them to Xinting: "This plate can be taken out now."

Xinting quickly took it and walked out with the basket in her arms.

Xu Qingmeng, having finished her dream, gave a few instructions to the kitchen before finally getting some free time to go out and check on things. Gu Yunyi followed behind her worriedly, asking every now and then if it was alright.

Xu Qingmeng felt helpless, but since he was concerned about her, she didn't say anything and gestured to him that she was fine.

The area in front of Jinxiuxuan was covered with scattered red firecracker debris, as if a magnificent red carpet had been laid out on the ground.

Two agile and perfectly coordinated lions were dancing with great enthusiasm, while a middle-aged man was banging a gong beside them, his face full of joy. The atmosphere was incredibly lively, attracting a crowd of onlookers, and the entrance was completely packed with people.

When Madam Huang saw Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi come out, a smile appeared on her face: "How does it feel? Isn't it much more lively than over there?"

Following Madam Huang's gaze, Xu Qingmeng glanced at the 'Suxiang Pavilion' across the street.

The shop, which had been bustling with customers just two days ago, was now deserted.

The shopkeeper with the goatee stood at the door with a gloomy face, glancing over from time to time. His frustration was palpable, as if he wanted everyone to know his feelings.

She glanced at him and immediately sensed that this man wasn't the kind of person Xiang Yu was, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is everything alright?"

"With me here, what could possibly happen? We're all aboveboard, so we're not afraid of him. If he dares to cause trouble, humph! Those constables in the yamen aren't pushovers, do they think he'd dare to act recklessly?" Madam Huang snorted coldly.

Xu Qingmeng nodded. That's why having a powerful partner gives you confidence, and that's the advantage. In any case, Madam Huang is the wife of the magistrate of Quan County, and her maternal family is not to be underestimated in Quan County.

After the lion dance ended, she returned to the kitchen and asked Gu Yunyi to watch over things in the front hall to prevent any accidents.

Gu Yunyi was worried about her and wanted to go to the kitchen with her, but Xu Qingmeng sighed helplessly, "You can't help in the kitchen. I'll feel more at ease if you stay in the front and watch over things."

Gu Yunyi couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he had no choice but to watch from the front hall.

Jinxiuxuan welcomed wave after wave of customers. At this moment, Madam Huang was sitting in a private room, drinking beverages, eating pastries, and chatting with her female relatives.

"What kind of drink is this? It's so delicious!"

"Bubble tea, that's the shop's signature drink."

"This name is quite novel, pearl milk tea. Where are the pearls?" Mrs. Chen asked curiously, while carefully examining the drink in her cup.

"Look, these little black spheres at the bottom are pearls," Madam Huang explained with a smile. "They're made from tapioca flour, and after cooking, they're soft, chewy, and have a wonderful texture." "Oh, I see. I'd like to try some then." Madam Chen scooped up a pearl with a spoon, put it in her mouth, and took a gentle bite. "Hmm, not bad. Just as Madam Huang said, it's soft, chewy, and has a subtle tea and milk aroma. Delicious."

"I quite like this white peach milk tea. It has a light fruity aroma and a rich milk flavor. It's very good."

"I actually like this fruit tea."

Everyone shared their love for the pastries and drinks, and the private room was filled with laughter.

Those who tried the food here before all know that Jinxiuxuan is delicious and of high quality. Although they were a little shocked when they saw the price, they were prepared for it. In addition, there were some opening discounts customized by Xu Qingmeng.

Xu Qingmeng also implemented a membership system, which is a rather novel concept in Quan County.

Recharge 50 taels to become a basic member, and you'll enjoy a 9.5% discount on all your purchases, plus a special birthday gift and priority access to new products.

One hundred taels is a silver card member, and apart from the 10% discount, everything else is the same.

Gold card members with a balance of 300 taels or more can enjoy a 15% discount and receive an exquisite gift box every month, which includes all of the above.

Those spending over 500 taels are considered VIP members, who not only enjoy a 20% discount but also receive a personalized gift every month. On their birthday, in addition to an exquisite gift, they also receive a specially made birthday cake from the store, and private rooms can be reserved in advance. Of course, they also enjoy all the privileges mentioned above.

Of course, the money deposited into the account can still be used to buy things; there is no loss, it's just that it's spent in advance.

This membership system attracted a lot of attention from customers, so the price didn't cause much of a backlash, and many people even bought quite a bit.

Of course, those who are not short of money are even happier. Becoming a member of Jinxiuxuan makes them feel that their status has been elevated, and they feel very prestigious when they talk about it.

The ladies in the private rooms were not short of money; having tasted Jinxiuxuan's pastries and drinks, they all made purchases as VIP members.

Of course, there are also some ordinary customers who are attracted by the lion dance and firecrackers, but once they see the price, they turn around and want to leave.

To prevent this from happening again, samples are still available today, but the pieces are smaller than before. However, there's no limit on how many pieces you can try; you can try them all if you want.

Some people were there to give it a try, while others thought, "Why not try it if it's free?" In the end, they all succumbed to the temptation of free samples.

Next, it was only natural that everyone took out their own money to buy their favorite flavors, and those with money even became members.

Ultimately, the customer attrition rate was much lower than Xu Qingmeng had imagined, and Madam Huang's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

Business was unexpectedly good. East Street was truly a place where hidden talents resided. Besides the lady and young lady, there were many wealthy people. Xu Qingmeng and her group originally planned to sell pastries for a whole morning, but they sold out in just two hours.

The two girls kept making drinks, one cup after another, and never had a moment to rest.
