Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chapter 85 Hunger Marketing

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Lu You hurried into the restaurant and brought out a tray covered with a red cloth.

"What is this?"

"It's not silver, is it?"

"Madam boss! What the hell are you doing?"

The red cloth was very eye-catching and attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.

Liu walked up to Lu You and looked at everyone with a smile on her face.

"We at Shuxiang Restaurant offer a reward for recruiting talents. Everyone knows the five taels of silver, but I heard quite a few people asking what this golden pastry is."

"Then everyone, just watch carefully!"

"This is our store's newest signature dish, the Golden Crisp!"

As she spoke, Liu forcefully lifted up the red cloth.

Everyone's appetite had been whetted by now, and they all wanted to know what this golden pastry was. They all stood on tiptoe to look into the tray.

But after seeing clearly, the original crowd fell into silence.

"What is Golden Crisp? Isn't this just a sesame seed cake?"

Someone spoke up, and everyone immediately echoed him.

"Isn't it?"

"I thought it was something good! Madam Boss, you are just kidding us."

Hearing what everyone said, Liu quickly waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Do you really think I have the time to play tricks on you?"

"If they say this is a sesame seed cake, please come closer and close your eyes to smell it carefully."

"Look at the taste of my golden pastry!"

Following Liu's words, Lu You held up the wooden plate and gently moved the pancake in a circle in front of everyone.

The people at the back might not be able to smell it, but Mr. Zhu and others standing in the first row all had their eyes light up.

"This...this golden crisp smells so good!" Master Zhu said in surprise, holding a folding fan.

"Fragrant? Just fragrant isn't enough!"

Liu said with a smile, then raised her hands and clapped vigorously!

Behind Liu, Xiaodouzi, Luming and Lu Yi brought out three trays again.

Among the three trays, there was also an exquisite porcelain plate with five-spice sesame cakes on it.

However, the three pancakes were cut into small pieces, each of which was cut three times horizontally and vertically, into sixteen pieces of similar size.

And on each small piece, there is a clean small bamboo stick.

"Everyone is in for a treat. Today we have a new dish at Shuxiang Restaurant. We specially prepared three portions of golden pastry to repay everyone's care over the years."

"One per person, while stocks last, please try it!"

With a wave of Liu's hand, Xiaodouzi, Lu Yi and Lu Ming quickly stepped forward and began to distribute them to the crowd.

"tasty!!"

“I’ve never tasted this before!”

"Give me another one!"

The people in front started to exclaim in amazement almost the moment they tasted the golden crisp.

When the others saw the reactions of those who had eaten the sesame cakes, they became even more curious and squeezed to the front.

"Give me a taste!"

"Stop pushing me! You're stepping on me!"

"Boss lady, please give me another piece..."

Because of the white cloth that was more than three meters high, the entrance of Shuxiang Restaurant was already surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.

How could the 48 trial pieces made from those three sesame cakes be enough for so many people?

Especially after seeing the intoxicated and amazed expressions on the faces of those who had eaten the sesame cakes, those who didn’t have them became even more curious.

"Madam boss! Don't be so stingy. There are so many people here, and you only cut three pieces. Who will be able to taste them?"

"That's right! Cut a few more pieces so that we can all have a taste. If it's really delicious, we'll come to support you!"

Someone shouted loudly, and the people around him echoed again.

Especially those who tasted the sesame cake, stared at the sesame cake in Lu You's hand with their eyes wide open.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Liu was so happy that her heart was filled with smiles.

Reaching out to block Lu You behind her, Liu pinched her waist and shouted to the onlookers.

"Still want to take advantage? You guys are so beautiful!"

"My dragon beard cake is made with ginseng and black-bone chicken soup and flour, and candied flower stamens as the filling. The ingredients are top-notch and the craftsmanship is exquisite."

"Giving you three samples is our store's greatest sincerity. If you want more, I have the intention but I can't afford it!"

Hearing Liu's words, everyone below was slightly surprised.

Ginseng black chicken soup and noodles, candied flower stamens as fillings...

Isn’t this cost too high?

"Boss lady, is what you said true or false? I don't believe it. Who would use ginseng and black chicken to make sesame cakes..."

Hearing someone's doubt, Liu chuckled and spoke.

"It's golden crisps!!"

"As for whether my pancakes are really that exquisite, those who have eaten them will know."

Following Liu's words, Master Zhu, who was standing at the front of the crowd, took two steps forward.

"Madam, I tried your golden pastry and it's really delicious. I want to buy it, but I don't know how much it costs?"

"Mr. Zhu, please!"

Liu nodded slightly to Master Zhu.

"As I said just now, this golden pastry is made of precious materials and is complicated to make, so the price must be higher, one penny of silver!"

Following Liu's words, everyone present widened their eyes.

"One penny for a pancake? I think you are crazy about money, aren't you, boss lady?"

"Who would spend a penny to buy a sesame seed cake?"

Listening to the discussions below, Liu chuckled.

"Everyone, I haven't finished what I just said!"

"This golden pastry worth one coin is not something you can just pay for!"

"There is another prerequisite for buying golden pastry, that is, you must spend at least two coins of silver in our Shuxiang Restaurant on the same day!"

Having said this, Liu pointed towards the plaque under the door of Shuxiang Restaurant.

"Please look here, under the plaque of my Shuxiang Restaurant, there are ten copper bells hanging!"

"This means the amount of golden crisps we have left each day, up to ten portions at most!"

"For every batch sold, we will take off a bell. When all the bells on the door plaque are taken off, it means that the golden pastry is sold out that day."

"For example, today, we gave everyone three tickets to try, so we should take off the three copper bells."

Following Liu's words, Lu Yi walked to the door with a bamboo pole in his hand and picked down the three copper bells on the left one by one.

"Pick one more!"

Lu Yi was just about to put down the bamboo pole when Lu You, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned around and saw Lu You taking the sesame cake from the tray and stuffing it directly into his mouth.
