Chapter 15 New Owner
Shopkeeper Yuan standing by was so frightened that his hair stood up, and he kept waving his hands, trying to calm the two men's anger.
Su Liuyue looked quietly at the man in front of her. He looked quite young, probably in his early twenties. At this moment, his brows were furrowed, his lips were tightly pursed, but his eyes were staring at her eagerly, and there was a hint of grievance in his anger.
Su Liuyue couldn't help but laugh. She tapped the table with her right index finger and said, "Did I say just now that these two cakes of yours were not delicious?"
Song Zhuo was stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.
Strictly speaking, she didn't say his pastries were bad.
But what she said was more heartbreaking than saying that his pastries were not tasty!
"We are open for business. Customers who come here to buy cakes don't care whether your skills are learned through hard work. They only care whether the cakes here are delicious and whether they can make them want to continue buying, or even make them want to recommend them to others."
Su Liuyue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said word by word: "And the facts have proved that your cakes and pastries are not good enough to attract customers, and your ability to retain customers is just so-so.
For a pastry shop, what is the difference between pastries that are not attractive to customers and garbage? "
"you you!"
Song Zhuo was so angry at Su Liuyue that he was shaking all over, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Er'an couldn't help but look stunned.
These girls are...are they making a grown man cry?
That’s too exaggerated!
But the aura of the girl when she spoke just now, wow, even though it wasn't her, she was actually a little scared.
Shopkeeper Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to come out and smooth things over. "Forget it, Master Song. Although what the Third Miss said was unpleasant, it was not completely unreasonable..."
"I don't care if she's the third or fourth lady!"
Song Zhuo suddenly gritted his teeth and glared at Su Liuyue, "She... is this what she said?! Even you didn't say that to me, what right does she have?!"
Shopkeeper Yuan was slightly startled, glanced at Song Zhuo awkwardly, and said with a light cough: "Master Song, the third lady... is she really qualified to say that about you..."
"Because the current owner of this store... is none other than the third girl..."
Song Zhuo felt that Manager Yuan's words were like a bolt of lightning that struck him on the head.
His eyes suddenly widened, and he turned to look at Shopkeeper Yuan with a look of doubt on his face, and said in a stammer: "No... Impossible..."
Su Liuyue smiled at him faintly, "Er'an, take out the store deed and show it to Master Xiao Song."
Even after seeing the store deed that Er An placed on the table, Song Zhuo still seemed unable to accept it, with a look of shock and confusion on his face.
A Da also looked at Su Liuyue in some surprise.
Su Liuyue didn't want to waste too much time. After letting them read the store deed, she said, "Since I am now Man Yifang's new boss, you should all listen to me from now on. You all know Man Yifang's situation in the past few years. I can't let Man Yifang continue like this..."
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! This is simply the most ridiculous thing I have heard this year!"
Song Zhuo suddenly interrupted Su Liuyue and said loudly, "Even if the store deed is in your hands now, you are just a woman who never leaves the house. Even Manager Yuan can't take care of Man Yifang. What can you do? Are you bored and come here to make fun of us on purpose?
Rather than following a little girl like you and making trouble, I would rather…"
Shopkeeper Yuan quickly said, "Master Song, please think twice before you speak!"
Su Liuyue raised her lips slightly and said calmly, "Why not? Why not just stop working here? Master Song, do you really not trust me, or are you deliberately going against me because of my comments on your pastries?" Song Zhuo hesitated for a moment, but still said with his neck stiff, "How can you expect me to trust you, the new boss who suddenly appeared?!"
Su Liuyue nodded, "Well, it's still the new owner who severely criticized your proud cakes."
Song Zhuo: “…”
Why does this woman keep bringing this up! Is she trying to hurt him?!
Seeing someone so angry that he was about to jump up and down, Su Liuyue chuckled, stood up and said: "Master Song's concerns are not wrong. I suddenly appeared, and it would be difficult for normal people to believe it.
For a pastry shop, the most important thing is naturally the pastries sold there. How about this, you give me half a month, and after half a month, I will bring you the pastries I made to taste.
At that time, if any of you feel dissatisfied, I will apologize to Master Xiao Song and from now on I will no longer interfere with the management of this store, how about that? "
The people in front were all stunned.
Er'an looked at his girl with astonishment.
No, when did the girl learn to make dim sum? ! The girl used to only scold the cook in the kitchen for being a rubbish and making food that was as good as pig food!
After a long while, Song Zhuo frowned and asked with a wary and suspicious look, "Are you kidding me?"
"I never played tricks on you."
Su Liuyue said slowly, "I made this pastry not only to prove my ability to you. To make Manyifang return to its former peak, or even surpass it, we need more impactful pastries. Otherwise, relying solely on your mung bean ice cream and snowflake crisps can only ensure that Manyifang will not go bankrupt."
Song Zhuo: “…”
This woman was definitely deliberately stabbing his heart!
He was so angry that he clenched his fists and bit his lip hard, saying, "Okay, I'll see what amazing pastries you can make! If you are kidding me, there is no need for me to stay here. When the time comes, I will leave!"
Shopkeeper Yuan was startled, "Master Song..."
However, after Song Zhuo uttered these harsh words, he turned around and went back to his kitchen with a grim face.
Shopkeeper Yuan immediately became worried and said, "It's over, it's over. Man Yifang is already on the verge of losing money every month. If Master Xiao Song leaves, and we can't find a suitable master for a while, Man Yifang will really...really be in danger!"
Besides, given Man Yi Fang’s current situation, we can’t offer a high monthly salary. I’m afraid that even a skilled master wouldn’t be willing to come to Man Yi Fang…”
Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yuan has already predicted that I can't make cakes that will satisfy all three of you?"
Shopkeeper Yuan choked.
This... How should he answer this?
No matter how unskilled Master Xiao Song is, he is still a legitimate pastry chef. How could he believe that the Third Miss, a girl in the boudoir, could be better at making pastries than Master Xiao Song?
Not to mention, the third girl has offended Master Song badly today. It will be fine for him and A Da to say a few nice words against their conscience, but Master Song will definitely look at the pastries made by the third girl with the most critical eyes.
This... no matter how you think about it, there is no way the pastries made by the third girl can pass the test of Master Song!
Seeing the extremely embarrassed look on Shopkeeper Yuan's face, Su Liuyue smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you. Wait for half a month, and then you can taste my cakes.
My maid should be able to invite the doctor back soon. Shopkeeper Yuan, please pack me a portion of mung bean ice cream and snowflake crisps. I have something else to do later. I will leave when the doctor comes."
Shopkeeper Yuan was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking, "Why did the third lady pack the mung bean ice cream and snowflake crisps?"
Didn't the Third Miss really look down on the two snacks made by Master Song? Or was it that Master Song was right and the Third Miss was just teasing him?
Guess what kind of pastry Su Liuyue is going to make? Guess and win a prize~
