Chapter 676: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Shu Yu was efficient in her actions, and with her help, Da Ya let out a long sigh of relief.
Shu Yu chuckled and, after serving the customers in the queue, she smiled and asked, "Sister, is the business always this good?"
"Not really. It's mainly..." Da Ya glanced at Ruan Shi behind her and whispered, "Didn't the local leader come yesterday? Many people have heard about it, and some old customers who have tried our food think it's good. They were worried that we might stop selling due to the local leader's threat, so the business was particularly booming this morning."
They had just exchanged a few words when several more customers arrived. Listening to their conversation, Shu Yu confirmed that they were indeed old customers who had tried their food before.
They expressed their concerns. "Will you still sell popcorn and cakes in the future? Your food is great and delicious. What will we do if you stop selling?"
Shu Yu laughed heartily. "Don't worry, we won't stop. We're just not setting up the stall this afternoon because we have limited ingredients left. We had too many customers in the morning, and everything sold out. We couldn't restock in time, so we decided to take a break."
The customers were reassured upon hearing this.
Shu Yu helped with the sales for a while and then stopped. She hadn't forgotten that she needed to take Hou Shi and Sixth Miss to the post station. Since it was almost time, she saw that the stall wasn't busy and informed Ruan Shi.
"Mother, I'll take them to the post station and come back quickly."
"Alright, be careful. You don't need to come back to the stall when you return. We'll go home after finishing today's sales. I'll cook something delicious for you at noon."
After giving some instructions, Ruan Shi took off her apron, untied the cloth from her hair, and handed Shu Yu several warm cakes and three bags of popcorn. Then, Shu Yu left.
She first went to the Lu family to greet Grandma and then rushed to the county office on a mule cart.
Shu Yu's estimated timing was quite accurate. As soon as the mule cart stopped, she saw the official leading Hou Shi and Sixth Miss out of the office.
Shu Yu waved her hand, and the group quickly walked a few steps to meet her.
Hou Shi asked in a low voice, "Did you wait long?"
"No, I just arrived. Did everything go smoothly?"
Hou Shi nodded. "Yes." However, she mentioned that the county office seemed quite busy lately, and they had waited a long time for someone to process their transfer procedures.
If it weren't for the official who brought them here, stating that this was a task entrusted by the Prefect magistrates, the county office clerks wouldn't have been so reluctant to pay attention to them.
Shu Yu glanced at the official standing beside them and noticed that he seemed displeased. It was evident that things weren't as smooth as Hou Shi had described.
She took out the cakes and popcorn from the cart. "Let's have something to eat first. You must be hungry after coming out so early. These are snacks from our stall—cakes and popcorn. They're specialties of Jiangyuan County. Give them a try."
The official didn't hesitate and immediately put on a smile, accepting the two items.
Hou Shi and Sixth Miss's eyes brightened at the sweet aroma. They accepted the food and climbed onto the cart one after another.
The official sat on the cart shaft and chatted with Shu Yu, wearing a friendly smile.
After all, they would be working together on the same estate in the future, and there might be opportunities for mutual assistance.
Shu Yu flicked the reins, and the cart quickly headed towards the outskirts of the city.
The post station was located between the county and the prefectural city, closer to the county. It would take about half an hour to reach it.
