CHAPTER 407: CHAPTER 407: GOING TO JINGZHOU

Her intention was to only cultivate Lv Chuan, and the others just happened to be cultivated along the way. After all, teaching one child is teaching, teaching several children is also teaching.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few students signing up, and because the teacher was from the Deserted Mountain, he naturally talked a lot about Pei Shu’er in front of these students, who had liked Pei Shu’er since childhood.

It was precisely because of this reason that the students taught by Pei Shu’er inadvertently leaned towards her.

Upon reaching the second floor of Pei’s, Pei Shu’er saw Mrs. Hu sitting there drinking rose tea.

Mrs. Hu looked up, "Sit down quickly."

This time, Mrs. Hu brought really bad news.

"Su County doesn’t have Thousand-year-old Ganoderma, nor does it have Heavenly Snow Lotus."

Pei Shu’er had already anticipated this, as the information from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was the same.

Mrs. Hu continued, "However, we previously heard that the Commerce Association in Jingzhou has news of the Thousand-year-old Ganoderma."

The main difference between Jingzhou and Su County is that the merchants there have already formed groups.

Local merchants find it much easier to do business, correspondingly, outsiders find it harder to break in.

After arriving in Jingzhou, Pei Shu’er had to follow the local rules.

First of all, to enter Jingzhou’s Commerce Association, one must have their own business name. Pei Shu’er still opened a shop under the name of Pei’s Trading House.

The choice of the shop location was all handled by Tang Zan for Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er was only responsible for selecting a few cooks from Pei’s to go to Jingzhou, and then start making pastries.

On the opening day, everything was offered at a 20% discount.

Additionally, each pastry had a tasting activity.

And soaps and beauty soaps also had samples.

Initially, when the shop opened, there were only a few people trickling in, and even when some passed by, they just glanced inside indifferently.

Pei Shu’er said, "Tell the kitchen staff to make some peach blossom cake and egg cake, start making them now."

"Also, have someone buy more firecrackers, try to make some noise."

After the firecrackers were set off again, the sweet fragrance of egg cake and peach blossom cake wafted from the kitchen, and when people smelled this aroma, many stopped in their tracks, looking towards Pei’s.

Some people even lingered at the doorway.

Pei Shu’er thought for a moment, and then had some exquisite pastries displayed at the shop entrance.

Then, smiling, she said, "Today Pei’s is opening, the first hundred customers can get a free piece of egg cake."

As soon as she said this, no one hesitated anymore, and they rushed into the pastry shop.

They had been somewhat skeptical at first, but once they really got the egg cake, they believed it.

After taking a bite of the egg cake, they were immediately captivated by the taste.

The taste of this egg cake was incredibly good, much better than many of the pastries they had tried before.

And this pastry was only sold for five coins a piece, now with an 80% discount, it only costs four coins.

Even such a simple egg cake was so delicious, so what would other pastries taste like?

Everyone tried them and immediately felt enveloped by happiness.

It seemed like life was sweet.

At first, people just wanted to get a free egg cake, but as they left, their hands were full of large and small bags of pastries, and their faces were full of joy.

They didn’t feel cheated, instead, they thought they got a great bargain.

Some more knowledgeable customers had already tried these pastries, but the prices of those pastries were very high.

They were almost several times more expensive, yet the taste was fresher than those pastries, still warm.

They had always wanted to find such pastries but never succeeded, only finding ones that weren’t very fresh.

They were finding out for the first time that these pastries, when fresh, were this good, much better than those made several days before.

It turned out these pastries were called Pei’s Pastries, they finally found them.

So much cheaper, everyone’s going to save a lot of money in the future.

Afterward, more people came, all hearing about the reputation of these pastries.

When they came here, almost everyone’s hands were full of pastries.

Meanwhile, soap also finally made a name for itself in Jingzhou, as did the beauty soap.

This trend was not noticeable at first, but later, this momentum grew stronger and stronger, becoming a formidable rival to many rouge shops.

Initially, Liu’s Pastries, seeing these pastries, had Manager Liu’s face turned extremely sour.

Especially after reading his nephew’s letter, he became furious and gritted his teeth.

"This Manager Pei is too much, in Su County he insulted my nephew, causing him to suffer imprisonment, and now he dares to come to Jingzhou, isn’t this clearly trying to humiliate me?"

A clerk quickly poured Manager Liu a cup of tea.

"Manager, calm down, what’s the most feared thing in selling pastries, isn’t it making people sick? When the time comes, just have someone cause a ruckus, then the shop won’t be able to continue."

The next morning, during the busiest business hours, Pei’s already had many stable customers.

"Manager Pei, your pastries are really delicious, my wife loves them, my kids love them, and even my old mother at home loves them."

Pei Shu’er smiled, "These pastries are suitable for all ages, everyone can eat them. If you like them, come again."

Once she said it, everyone nodded repeatedly, carrying these pastries out with joy.

Some people even came because of the fame.

"We heard these pastries are quite delicious, a relative said you sell them here."

Pei Shu’er smiled and welcomed everyone inside.

"Yes, come in quickly and have a taste."

When everyone walked in with suspicion, they walked out happily with pastries.

Some honest customers looked at Pei’s egg cake.

"Ah, your egg cake is so similar to Liu’s Pastries, did you imitate them?"

Pei Shu’er smiled, "These pastries, we are the only ones who make them. As to why Liu’s is similar to ours, that’s something you need to ask Liu’s."

But there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, doesn’t this mean that Liu’s people have long been imitating Pei’s in Jingzhou?

If it’s only in appearance it’s understandable, but if the taste is similar, then Liu’s might not be so innocent.

At this moment, a crowd suddenly gathered outside the door.

"Someone come, Pei’s Pastries are killing people!"

Pei Shu’er’s eyes darkened, she knew this journey wouldn’t be easy, but she never expected it would be this difficult.

When she stepped out of the shop, a woman in plain clothes suddenly grabbed Pei Shu’er’s dress.

"Someone come, don’t let this murderous merchant escape."
