Chapter 104 His Inner Demon (Part )
Following Su Liuyue's shout, the people in the team who were originally bored because they had run out of drinks suddenly became excited again.

In fact, they had already smelled a sudden sweet and crispy smell in the air, just like roasted honey, which was indescribably tempting. They were also privately wondering if some new pastries had been made.

Many people who had already left the line hurried back, shamelessly explaining that they didn't want to leave, they just wanted to see where the line was.

But there were also some people who paused for a moment, with some hesitation on their faces, but finally walked away.

Su Liuyue didn't care about them. After all, the only thing everyone loved in this world was money. Her pastries didn't need to be loved by everyone. As long as most people were interested, it would be worth a celebration banquet!
What made Su Liuyue and the others even more excited was that most people's evaluation of the crispy cakes was, just as Su Liuyue had expected, better than mochi.

Although mochi tastes novel and delicious, each one is only as small as half the size of a palm and is hollow inside. Such a pastry cannot fill you up. At most, it can be eaten as a snack for fun to fill your stomach.

Such snacks are more popular among wealthy customers, who do not have to worry about having regular meals. If they eat too many of these pastries, they may even worry about not having enough room for regular meals. This type of mochi, which is small in portion, novel and delicious, just meets all their needs.

But people with wealthy families are a minority after all. Most people are just ordinary people working hard in society. They don’t have that much spare money to buy such snacks. Compared with mochi, crispy cakes that are more solid and filling can better meet their needs. The crispy cake is as big as a palm and cannot be held in one hand. Women with smaller appetites can be full after eating one. In this way, while enjoying the delicious food, they can also solve the problem of a main meal. It is simply an ideal pastry!

Moreover, the crispy little cakes are not expensive, only eight cents each. With the prices in Beijing, a big white steamed bun that has no taste at all costs three or four cents!

Most people are happy to spend a few cents to enjoy this sweet pastry that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!
As a result, their crispy little cakes were sold out as soon as they came out of the oven. Everyone scrambled to buy them. Master Song and Xue Lingwan, who worked in the kitchen, were almost driven crazy. At the end of the day, the originally spoiled Xue Lingwan collapsed directly on the chair with a bitter face.

Her personal maids Xuezhu and Xuemei were so distressed that they stood behind her, one on each side, massaging her shoulders.

As soon as Su Liuyue walked into the kitchen, she saw Xue Lingwan's little appearance and couldn't help but smile. She praised her generously, "Thank you for your hard work today, Lingwan. You did a great job!"

After saying that, he turned to Master Xiao Song and grinned, "Master Xiao Song has worked hard too!"

Xue Lingwan always liked to be praised, let alone by her most admired cousin. She wanted to raise her lips or not, but finally chose to pout and act coquettishly, "Cousin, I was so tired today that my hands are like two soft noodles. I can't even lift them up because of the soreness."

Su Liuyue felt distressed and amused at the same time. She walked over and gave her a massage with her skilled technique. Seeing her squinting her eyes in enjoyment, she smiled and said, "Come to my room tonight. I'll give you a good massage. You'll be fine the next morning."

She often does the work of sending people away on weekdays. Her arms are more durable than those of others. It's just that she sent too many people away at one time today.

Xue Lingwan immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin!"

Xuezhu looked outside curiously and said, "Cousin, why do I feel like there are so few guests? Isn't it still early?"

Su Liuyue spread her hands helplessly, "The mochi and crispy cakes are all sold out. I can't continue to attract customers even if I want to."

However, the cakes were sold out so early, which whetted the cravings of customers who didn’t get any today. When they heard that the cakes were gone, they all looked unwilling and kept asking about it. Several of them even said that they would come earlier to queue up tomorrow.

On the first day of Man Yifang’s reopening, their reputation was completely spread!
Xuezhu was stunned. "Oh my god, forget about the crispy cakes. We made about... about 5,000 or 6,000 mochi. Are they all sold out?"

They were busy all night long!
How much money did this earn!
Su Liuyue raised her lips and smiled, "This is just the beginning. In the next few days, there will be more and more guests coming. Everyone will have to work harder these days. After the busiest period is over, I will treat everyone to a big dinner!"

Fortunately, she had foresight and trained Ersi, Er'an, Xuezhu and Xuemei on how to make these two kinds of pastries from the beginning. No one could stand making pastries day and night by one person, so it was much better to take turns.

Tomorrow, she planned to replace Ersi and Eran to help in the kitchen, and Xuezhu and Xuemei would take over Ersi and Eran's work. Fortunately, Master Song was originally in this business and had long been accustomed to such high-intensity work.

However, if Man Yifang becomes more famous and attracts more customers, these few people will still be far from enough.

At the beginning, it was not clear whether Man Yifang’s reopening would be a success. Now, she had to think carefully about her future arrangements.

Su Liuyue was just about to ask them to go back and rest when Ah Da's voice suddenly came from outside, "Boss! Someone's looking for you!"

Listening to this voice, I'm quite excited.

Su Liuyue hurried out to take a look and couldn't help but laugh.

The people who came were Lu Rou and Feng Dali. They were both wearing official clothes and looked very intimidating. No wonder Ah Da was so excited.

Su Liuyue walked over and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Before Lu Lu could even start talking, Feng Dali rushed in and said, "We know that Su Xiaolangjun's store is reopening today, and we've wanted to come and show our support for a long time! Unfortunately, we have a lot of things to do today, so we can't get away. We can only come after our shift is over!"

As he spoke, he looked around and shouted, "Young Master Su, why are there no customers? Could it be that everyone doesn't know that your store has reopened? Do you want me to bring a few brothers over tomorrow to promote it for you..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Lu, who was standing beside him, knocked him on the head in annoyance, "Didn't you see that there are no cakes in the store? It's obvious that the cakes were sold out in advance, so there are no customers! You pig-brained person, don't tell anyone that you are from Jingzhao Prefecture when you go out!"

Su Liuyue looked at them with amusement and said, "If I had known you were coming, I would have left some for you. Tomorrow I will have someone pick up a basket of cakes and send it to Jingzhao Prefecture to comfort all the brothers. I heard that you have been interrogating Niu Xingbang these days. How is the interrogation going?"

Niu Xingbang was the murderer in the prostitute murder case they caught a few days ago.

"It's a piece of cake. Young Master Su forced him to confess to all the crimes that day. How difficult is it for us to interrogate him?"

Feng Dali touched the place where he was hurt by the road with grievance, curled his lips and said: "After his family was driven out of Pingxi Marquis Mansion, they lived a life of displacement. The wealthy families in the capital knew that they had offended Pingxi Marquis Mansion and were unwilling to employ them, forcing his parents to take him away from Xinjing.

But where could they go? The land that their ancestors had inherited had long been annexed by officials from the previous dynasty, and it was impossible for them to go back and be farmers. Niu Xingbang's parents left the capital just to find another family to work for.

Unexpectedly, because they had no fixed place to live and had little money, his mother died of illness not long after leaving Xinjing. Less than a year later, his father also passed away. Niu Xingbang was only eleven or twelve years old at the time. Fortunately, he was spotted by a passing circus troupe and was hired as a handyman.

He said he learned his makeup skills in a vaudeville troupe.”

Su Liuyue frowned slightly when she heard this.

There must be something pitiful about a hateful person. No wonder that incident became his inner demon and twisted his heart to this extent.

Feng Dali paused, and suddenly asked in suspense: "Mr. Su, guess where Niu Xingbang went after he suddenly disappeared for a year?"
