Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

"Smiling face cake".

"This name is wonderful, this name is wonderful! It will bring a smile to your face after eating it," Wang Zhilan praised.

"Sister Wang, I'll think of a few promotional slogans tonight so we can have them shouted out when we sell them tomorrow."

Firstly, it can liven up the atmosphere, and secondly, it can let people know the effects of the smile cake.

Does the Xu household have any clever male servants who can sit and do this for three days straight?

"Yes, this bag is with my sister."

"Everything here is almost settled, Sister Wang. Let's go back and take care of things at home as well."

We need to come here as soon as it's light tomorrow. We need to prepare all the pastries and other things in advance. How can we arrange them in a way that is eye-catching and looks good?

Everyone in each position needs to practice; otherwise, with so many people tomorrow, everyone will be caught off guard.

"Okay, let's go back first."

"Daqing, Master Yao, starting now, you two need to thoroughly clean the shop inside and out. Sweep what needs sweeping, wipe what needs wiping, and make sure it looks brand new tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Miss, we will definitely do a good job."

As soon as Liu Siyue and the others got home, they started preparing. She racked her brains and came up with two lines of lyrics: "Smiling face cake, smiling face cake, the elderly eat it to aid digestion and bring longevity, good health and lots of smiles."

Children who eat this will grow quickly, be healthy, lively, and intelligent.

If you want a good appetite, you can't do without smiley face cake.

She picked it up and read it twice herself, then asked Qingye to read it aloud, "Qingye, what do you think of my writing?"

"Madam's writing is excellent, very original, easy to read aloud, and very moving."

Liu Siyue laughed heartily, "I think it's great too."

Wang Zhilan asked Xiao Cui to call over all the clever servants in the house. Xiao Cui soon brought over seven or eight men, who stood in a row in the courtyard.

"The lady has only a few of them; they're all quite talkative and quick-witted."

"Alright, go and invite Madam Liu over so she can choose for herself."

When Xiao Cui arrived at the Yun residence, Jing An led her inside. "Madam, Miss Xiao Cui requests an audience."

"Come in."

"Madam Liu, our lady requests your presence to select people."

"Okay, let's go now."

When Liu Siyue arrived at the Xu residence, she saw seven or eight young men standing in the courtyard.

"Sister Liu, everyone is here. You can choose whoever suits you best."

Liu Siyue looked at them and explained her purpose: "Tomorrow I'm going to your madam's shop to sell pastries. I need someone to hawk them. I've written a hawking script here. Each of you read it to me. I'll see who reads it best, creates the atmosphere, and attracts people's attention. Whoever does it best tomorrow will be chosen. We need to hawk for three days in total."

Excellent performance will be rewarded.

Liu Siyue gave them the sales pitch and had them read it one by one. In the end, she chose a man named Xu San. "You're the one. Memorize this pitch tonight. How well the pastries sell these three days depends on your performance."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best."

Liu Siyue selected two more people. "Sister Wang, let these two go and help tomorrow. Xiao Cui is a girl after all, so she can be put on standby for now."

If she's really too busy, let her take over.

Remember, we have to leave before dawn tomorrow, or we won't make it in time.

Everyone readily agreed, promising not to be late tomorrow.

Qingwu went out onto the street and saw four or five beggar boys wandering around. She immediately followed them and said, "Hey! Do you guys want to make some money?"

Several beggars turned to look at her simultaneously. "Are you talking to us?"

"Yes, besides you, is there anyone else here?"

"I just heard you talking about making us money, right?"

"Yes, you heard right, do you want to make money?"

"If you want to make money, what do you want us to do? We won't do murder, arson, or anything that breaks the law."

"You few dare to commit murder and arson, break the law? Do you even have the guts? Even if I had that kind of job, I wouldn't hire you guys."

My job is very simple, so listen carefully...

Qingwu explained it to them twice, and then had them repeat it themselves three times to make sure it was correct before she was satisfied.

She took out 20 coins and handed them to a boy, saying, "These 20 coins are a deposit. Come back here before dark to collect the remaining 20 coins."

"Did they really give us the money?"

"Of course it's true, you can get to work now."

If you do a good job this time, I'll definitely come to you again if I need anything in the future, and I promise I won't treat you unfairly.

"Okay, sister, my name is Li Dashan. We all live in the dilapidated temple in the west of the city. If you can't find us on the street, just go to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city."

"Okay, go quickly."

Li Dashan and his brothers shouted in the streets and alleys, and also found several companions to split into groups and shout in various streets. They went from east to west and from south to north, shouting all the streets, "Tomorrow, Shiweizhai Pastry Shop will launch a new product, buy one get one free, buy one get one free, limited quantity, first come first served."

The people on the street heard their shouts, "Shiweizhai has launched new products, and it's buy one get one free. It's such a good deal. I have to go and see what new products they have tomorrow. The ready-made pastries are just the same old ones. I'm already tired of them. It's time to come up with some new tricks."

"Yes, these pastry shops have been selling the same pastries for years without any new products. They're getting tired of them."

The two men speaking were middle-aged and dressed in fine clothes; you could tell they were wealthy just by looking at them.

Several women nearby secretly glared at them. "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the ones suffering. You're tired of eating, but we haven't even had any yet."

As it was getting dark, Qingwu waited there for Li Dashan and the other beggars.

"Well done, here's the remaining 20 coins."

"Thank you, sister. If you need any more jobs like this in the future, please remember to contact us."

"No problem, I'll definitely contact you."

The next day, just as dawn broke, Liu Siyue and her friends set off from home for the shop.

Although the shop door was not open, the clanging and jingling sounds coming from inside indicated that Daqing and his men were already busy.

Xu San went downstairs to knock on the door. As soon as Da Qing opened the door, everyone immediately threw themselves into their busy work, some setting out pastries, others rehearsing.

As soon as Chenshi (7-9 AM) arrived, the streets immediately became crowded, and many people gradually arrived in front of the shops.

"Madam Liu, may we begin hawking our wares now?"

"Just tell them the event is about to start and ask everyone to line up."

Xu San held a copper basin in his hand, banging it as he called out, "Good morning, everyone! Welcome to Shiweizhai, where you can taste our newly released pastries."

The event is about to begin, please line up. This event will only last for three days. On the first day, it will be half price, which is equivalent to buy one get one free. On the second day, it will be sold at 60% of the original price, and on the third day, it will be sold at 70% of the original price.

Smiling face cake, smiling face cake, it helps the elderly eat it, aids digestion, brings good fortune and longevity, and keeps them healthy with many smiles;

Children who eat this will grow quickly, be healthy, lively, and intelligent.

If you want a good appetite, you can't do without smiley face cake!

"The name of this pastry sounds festive, 'Smiling Face Cake,' I wonder how it tastes? Is it really as good as you say? How much does the pastry originally cost?"

"Our pastries are sold by the piece. The original price is 25 coins per piece, and the half price is 13 coins per piece."

Our Smiling Face Cake is unique in Lingshui County and Dongping Prefecture. No one who sees it can resist its allure.
