The chubby manger was a foodie and he had tried various of flatbread and pancakes in town. Most of them were simply added spring onions and eggs and it was the first time that he saw a flatbread with so many ingredients in it.

This flatbread was fried with golden-yellow on both sides which looked crispy and nice; plus, he had already tried Ye Xiaoxian’s cold jelly, so he judged that the taste of this flatbread must not be bad, so he bought two of them.

Once he tried, he raised his thumb and bought five more, saying that he would take them away back home for his wife and children.

All the shopkeepers saw the chubby manager enjoy the flatbread; besides, it was just about time to eat breakfast and as the in-town residents were used to buying something outside and taking them back home as breakfast, so in this case, there were several others coming over and buying the flatbread.

“This flatbread is nice. It’s actually meaty. That’s how you do business!”

“The sesames are great too. They taste great and crispy.”

“…”

Not before long, Li Hongmei and Xiao Baozhu had come as well.

Their business grew better after Li Hongmei came as she knew how to taut her goods and showed pa.s.sion about it. Every time she spotted a pa.s.serby, she would greet them, calling them to come over and buy flatbread and cold jelly and she didn’t care even if she was rejected.

Though some of them were just here to buy cold jelly, Li Hongmei would promote their flatbread anyways. As she was so hospitable, others would feel the urge of not turning her down and it was just another two coins so they might as well buy a flatbread.

With the help of someone like Li Hongmei, Ye Xiaoxian felt that she could just concentrate on cooking nice food and leave promotion and stuff to Li Hongmei.

It was approaching to midday when the housekeeper of the wealthy family came over again.

The housekeeper was in his forties. Although his clothes were also made of coa.r.s.e cloth, they were neat and tidy. A jade pendant was tied on his belt, which showed that the master he worked for had a well-off family background.

“Huh, you even sell flatbread today? You made this yourselves?” asked the housekeeper.

“Yes, yes. My daughter-in-law made them all and she was very good at cooking. Do you care for trying one? I’ll sell it for free if it isn’t tasty.” Li Hongmei wrapped one quickly with oil paper and pa.s.sed it to him.
