I insist

Chapter 30: A Huge Success

Qiu Tianlei wanted to go with them, but Song Miqiu refused.

“You don’t understand anything, so don’t go with me. Stay home and take good care of the children. Let Yumei come with me today.”

This skill can be passed on to Tian Yumei in the future, so it's good for her to get used to this kind of street vending life for now.

As for Qiu Tianlei?

He's just not cut out for business!

Song Miqiu also wanted to change Tian Yumei. Tian Yumei never expected that her mother-in-law would be willing to take her along. She was overjoyed but also a little apprehensive.

But in the end, she nodded and agreed!

Because she knew very well that her mother-in-law was giving her a chance.

When they arrived, it wasn't very late, but everyone had already finished their day's work and was preparing ingredients for the next day.

This naturally includes buying pastries.

"what is this?"

Cakes naturally have a unique aroma, and this sweet taste is completely different from those classic pastries!

Their pastries focus more on a delicate aroma, but their cakes are different.

If it weren't for the lack of resources to make a lot of cream, Song Miqiu would have preferred to just buy cream cakes.

However, due to limited resources and a small balance in her Taobao account, she dared not be extravagant and simply made ten slices of cream cake.

They cut one of the cake bases into small pieces and placed them in front for everyone to taste.

"If you'd like to try it, you can sample it here first, and if you like it, then you can buy it. However, because the quantity is limited, you can only sample one piece at most."

"Auntie, how much is one of these?"

This is the first time they've ever seen such exquisite pastries; they might be very expensive.

"Don't rush to ask about the price after you've tried it. But I can assure you that although our products are of good quality, the price won't be too high!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt reassured.

Song Miqiu explained the rules in advance to avoid any trouble later.

Song Miqiu is here to do business, not to cause trouble for himself!

These people are simple and honest. Most importantly, it's the first time they've seen something so novel, and they can even sample it for free. Even if they don't buy it, they can still taste it.

But they had no idea just how appealing the cake was!

"What kind of pastry is this?! Give me five servings!"

"We can't give him that much! I want it too!"

"Aren't you all going to ask how much this thing costs?"

Moreover, those who haven't had a chance to taste it simply can't understand it.

"Don't worry, everyone. Normally, you buy three pastries for ten cents, but as you can see, ours are different. So, you can buy two for fifteen coins."

When they heard the first sentence, the people who wanted to place orders actually felt a little uneasy, but when they heard the last sentence, they breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"I thought it would be expensive! I don't want five servings, just give me ten!"

Song Miqiu used psychological tactics commonly employed by modern businessmen, and he never expected the results to be so good!

If you tell them from the beginning that it costs 15 coins for two dollars, their first reaction will probably be that it's much more expensive than other things.

However, given the preceding context, this psychological gap actually makes people think, "Wow, it's so cheap!"

The reactions of these people are the best evidence.

However, she also has to be responsible for paying for these people's expenses.

"Don't rush! Our cakes are delicious, but they can't be stored for too long, so please try to buy less. I'll be here every day to set up my stall, so you can come and eat fresh cakes every day."

Since Song Miqiu had already said all that, the people calmed down. However, the food was small and so delicious that they each had at least five servings.

As expected, before the free samples were even finished, the cake on the table was completely devoured.

Although Song Miqiu had long anticipated that the results would be good, he had not expected them to be this good!

Tian Yumei couldn't stop smiling.

"Mom! They're all sold out!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Looks like I'll be able to go home early today."

Those who didn't get any looked disappointed. Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Song Miqiu distributed the cakes meant for tasting to those who hadn't bought any.

"If you think the taste is pretty good, you can come back here at this time tomorrow."

When Song Miqiu and the others returned home, Tian Yumei couldn't wait to tell everyone what had happened that day.

Everyone listened with great interest, including Yu Huailin.

The next morning, Tian Yumei pestered Song Miqiu to come to the kitchen.

When it comes to cakes, practice makes perfect.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spent the entire day in the kitchen, and even for lunch, everyone insisted on eating cake!

Song Miqiu couldn't resist the child's insistence, so she agreed.

It's only because the weather is cool now that they can store these things; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to keep them without a refrigerator.

After dinner, Qiu Tianlei insisted on coming along, and Song Miqiu, considering the potential crowds today, agreed.

However, she was not comfortable leaving her children with Yu Huailin, so she took a piece of cake to her neighbor's house and asked them to help look after the children.

This person will naturally not refuse delicious food.

Song Miqiu and his group arrived at their usual spot, only to find it already packed with people!

The owners of the surrounding pastry shops were completely out of business, so they simply came to join in the fun.

While some people humbly acknowledged Song Miqiu's excellence, others were not so quick to accept it.

"She really doesn't understand any rules! Doesn't she know that one family can't have absolute power here?"

There are several pastry shops here, and naturally there is an unwritten rule: no single shop can monopolize all the customers.

Song Miqiu hadn't expected these people to be so accepting of their cakes, and because she was so busy with so many customers, she didn't have time to think about it.

We prepared enough for today, but we still couldn't give everyone a copy.

“We will come here every day from now on, but starting tomorrow we will be limiting the amount! It’s not that we don’t want you to eat, but only two servings per person! If you want to eat more, you can invite your family to come along.”

Everyone was happy to have food.

As a result, the number of people in front of Song Miqiu's stall did not decrease, but instead increased.

The owners of those pastry shops finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"Go! Follow the original plan."

Many people have started saying things like it tastes bad, but the masses have discerning eyes. If this stuff really doesn't taste good, would they keep buying it?

Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, the shop owners had no choice but to accept their fate and came over in person while Song Miqiu was packing up.

"You're the one who made the cakes? How about we collaborate? You sell me the recipe, and of course, you can continue selling these cakes, but you can't keep the recipe for yourself."

Song Miqiu looked at these people but refused them outright.

"I'm sorry, this is a proprietary recipe, and I probably can't sell it to you."

It's not that I don't want to make this money, but even if I give them the recipe, they still can't make cake mix!

If they discover my secret, it won't just be a matter of not having money.

"What did you say! You won't sell! Do you know who you're talking to?!"

"No matter who comes today, I cannot sell this recipe. I'm sorry, I'm going home."

Song Miqiu didn't want to waste any more words with these people.

Today, he brought Qiu Tianlei with him. Although his adopted son didn't have any other skills, he was big and burly and looked quite intimidating, so these people didn't dare to make a move in the street.
