Chapter 676 Sending the Hou Family and Her Daughter to the Inn
Shu Yu moved in an orderly manner, and with her joining in, Daya let out a long breath.
Shu Yu was amused. After all the people in line had finished their purchases and had a little free time, she smiled and said, "Sister, is business so good on weekdays?"
"No, the main reason is..." Da Ya glanced at Ruan behind him and said in a low voice, "Didn't this local snake come here yesterday? Many people have heard about it, and some old customers have eaten our food. I think it’s good, because I’m afraid we won’t sell it in the future because of the threat of local snakes, so business is very booming this morning.”
After saying these two words, several more customers came over. Listening to each other's conversations, they were indeed old customers who had eaten her food before.
They were still a little worried, "Will you still sell popcorn and sesame cakes in the future? Your food is solid and delicious. If you don't sell it anymore, what will we do in the future?"
Shu Yu couldn't stop laughing, "Don't worry, our stall will not be open this afternoon, and we will continue to sell it in the future."
"Why don't you go out to the stall in the afternoon?"
"The ingredients we don't prepare here are limited. There were too many customers in the morning and everything was sold out. We didn't have time to stock up, so we just took a long break."
Everyone felt relieved upon hearing this.
Shu Yu helped sell for a while and then stopped. She didn't forget to send Mrs. Hou and Miss Six to the inn. Seeing that the time was almost up, she saw that the stall was not busy at this time, so she told Mrs. Ruan.
"Mom, I'll be back soon after I drop you off at the inn."
"Okay, then be careful and don't use the stall when you come back. We'll go back as soon as we sell out and prepare something delicious for you at noon."
After Ruan gave some instructions, Shu Yu took off her apron and the cloth holding her hair on her head. She took a few hot sesame cakes and three bags of popcorn and left.
She went back to Lu's house first, said hello to the old lady, and then drove the mule cart to the county government office.
Shu Yu's estimated time was quite accurate. The mule cart had just stopped, and he saw the official taking Hou and the sixth girl out.
Shu Yu waved her hand, and the others walked quickly to her.
Hou asked in a low voice, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I just arrived. Is everything going well?"
Mrs. Hou nodded, "It went well." It was just that the yamen seemed to be very busy recently, and they had to wait for a long time before someone could handle the handover procedures for them.
If the official who brought them here hadn't said that this was something the governor had told them to do, the county clerk would have been too procrastinating to pay attention to them.
Shu Yu glanced at the official standing next to him and saw that his expression seemed very unhappy. It was obviously not as smooth as Hou said.
She took out the sesame cakes and popcorn from the mule cart, "Eat something first. You came out early in the morning, so you should be hungry. These are the snacks sold at our stall, the sesame cakes and popcorn, from Jiangyuan County Please try our specialties."
The official was not polite, he immediately put a smile on his face and took the two things.
Mrs. Hou and Miss Six smelled the sweet smell, and their eyes lit up slightly. Then they took it and got on the mule cart one after another.
The official was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, smiling and chatting with Shu Yu.
After all, we will all work together on Zhuangzi from now on, and maybe we will be able to help each other some time.
Shu Yu shook the reins and quickly drove the mule cart towards the outside of the city.
The post station is located between the county seat and the prefectural city, and is closer to the county seat. It takes more than half an hour to go here.
