Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 2489: Chapter 2493: So Damn Wicked!

It turns out, it’s because they are afraid of their old man at home, not daring to freeload a meal.

Ye Xingbei laughed and said, "Well, you’ve come at the right time today. Not only is Bohe cooking lunch, but Ah Jue’s fiancée is cooking too. Her culinary skills rival Bohe’s, you’re sure to have a feast."

"Sister-in-law, stop it already, if you keep talking, I’ll start drooling." Qiao Jieran looked around anxiously.

Sheng Xicheng patted his shoulder with one hand, "Look at you, no ambition!"

Qiao Jieran shot back, "And you have ambition? If you were so capable, you’d wait for the grand opening. We’re just in trial business and you’re already eager to come!"

"I’m here to give Sister-in-law a red envelope!" Sheng Xicheng stuffed a red envelope into Ye Xingbei’s hands, cupping his hands and saying, "Sister-in-law, wishing you great prosperity and booming business!"

"Xie Xie!" Ye Xingbei accepted the red envelope and thanked him.

On such occasions, red envelopes aren’t turned away, they must be accepted.

She never imagined that opening a dessert shop would get her two red envelopes.

If someone was money-minded, they’d probably be overjoyed.

They joked around with her for a bit, then went with Gu Junzhu to the back.

Ye Xingbei continued keeping an eye on the shop.

Qiao Jieran and the others brought several baskets of flowers to set outside the store.

She knew it was just a trial run, but outsiders didn’t.

Seeing her shop open, bustling with activity, they assumed it was the official start.

With a new store, many people like to try something new.

The shop wasn’t as deserted as Ye Xingbei imagined, or worse, as deserted as a ghost town, but rather filled with bustling customers coming and going.

Everything in Ye Xingbei’s shop shared one characteristic, they were beautifully crafted and exquisite.

Even if you didn’t eat them, just looking at them there, they exuded elegance and looked incredibly appetizing.

From material selection to design, Ye Xingbei put a lot of thought into it all.

Walking past the display window again and again, looking at all the beautiful little items in the window gave her a sense of satisfaction.

Now, watching customers buy them one by one, she felt a strong sense of achievement.

Many people thought her items were expensive, some saw the prices, thought they were too high, and left without buying.

Some bought only one or two.

Ye Xingbei wasn’t bothered.

She was targeting a high-end boutique market.

The items in her shop were delicious enough to warrant the higher price.

If the prices were set lower, she wouldn’t even be able to make the rent or cover the staff’s wages.

She was running a business to make money, not to lose money for the sake of reputation.

Some people, when they didn’t buy anything, even grumbled that the shop owner was out of her mind, charging so much for a piece of cake—either she’s crazy or desperately poor.

Ye Xingbei, upon hearing this, acted as if she hadn’t heard.

As Qin Junye’s grandpa said, not everyone likes gold, and she couldn’t please everyone.

Over an hour after opening, suddenly the number of customers increased, and a line began to form.

Ye Xingbei felt a bit excited, went behind the cashier’s counter, and leaned in to ask the cashier, "So many customers?"

One cashier was named Pei Yingnan, and the other was named Tao Tao.

Tao Tao, who was closer to her, laughed with excitement and said, "Boss, lots of repeat customers, the first time they bought just one or two pieces, and the second time they bought a lot."

Ye Xingbei noticed a young girl paying, reluctantly swiping her card on her phone, surrounded by a dozen or so assorted desserts, muttering to herself, "I’m going to gain ten more pounds! I’m killing myself, I’m killing myself! Who’s so immoral to make things this tasty, so unscrupulous!"
