Xiao Cheng, who works in the back kitchen, has been making pastries back and forth, and has been delivering pastries almost ten times.

After delivering Sesame Candy once, Xiao Cheng wiped the sweat from his head and looked outside. It was almost afternoon, but there were still a lot of people.

But it was much less than in the morning, and he actually saw the Mitel Family butler, Misty Cloud Sect's Ge Ye, and so on in the queue.

Why does the middle-aged man at the end look familiar?

He thought about it carefully and racked his brains to recall the plot of Battle Through the Heavens.

After a moment, he murmured as if he had suddenly realized.

"This seems to be the hypocritical guy Nalan Su"

Although it is said that Nalan Yanran's breakup of engagement is caused by the Xiao Clan's current situation, as well as Nalan Yanran's current talent, it has to be said that the people on the Nalan Family's side also contributed to the situation.

If Nalan Family had someone objecting to Nalan Yanran breaking off the engagement, it probably would not have developed to the current situation.

This Nalan Su also supported his daughter to break off the engagement, although it was not described in the plot.

And after this guy found out that Xiao Yan had regained his former talent, he actually licked his face and asked Nalan Yanran to apologize to Xiao Yan.

He really regards his daughter as a tool of the powerful family.

This is not only bottomless, but also hypocritical and disgusting.

"This guy should be here for Nalan Jie, if my guess is correct"

Xiao Cheng glanced at Nalan Su with a slightly cold gaze and said.

It's just that he won't have anything to do with such a hypocritical person, but that old man Nalan Jie is quite good, and he is also a Dou Wang expert.

"Why do you care so much? Now that I have some free time, I'd better go back to the kitchen to take a rest and then collect Quest Reward."

After looking around and finding nothing serious, he turned back to the kitchen, sat on a chair nearby and started communicating with Xiao Dian.

"Xiao Dian, improve your realm"

The next moment, an inexplicable energy poured into Qi Cyclone in Xiao Cheng's body.

With the rapid growth of Dou Qi, Xiao Cheng's level has also changed from Two-star Dou Zhe to Four-star Dou Zhe, and its strength has more than doubled.

It's just that there is no suitable Dou Technique now, and it seems that there is still a chance of Weapon Draw.

Now that there is no Dou Technique, there is no use in extracting the weapon, so I have to leave it for now.

"I'm almost exhausted today, phew"

He will definitely not dare to open a discount event so blindly next time, it is really terrible.

Fortunately, Ruyi Zhai's fame is still within control and has not spread to Imperial Capital.

If it becomes more famous, the people who come will probably more than double the business income of the entire Wutan City.

It's just too late to regret it now, but this has increased his store manager experience a lot, a full sixty-three points, and two of the three tasks have been completed, leaving only the Peanut Nougat task, but it is almost completed.

Then he clicked on Personal Panel to check the specific situation.

Host: Xiao Cheng Identity: Xiao Family Market Ruyi Zhai Store Manager Shopkeeper Level: Level Two Shopkeeper (393/900)

Realm: Four-star Dou Zhe Martial Skill: None Guard: Xiao Wu (One-star Dou Zong)

Mascot: Bai Suzhen (cat)

Items: One piece of Festival Quest Card, one piece of Three Delicacies Dumplings, one piece of Pork and Scallion Dumplings, one piece of Mushroom and Beef Dumplings, one chance for Weapon Draw. Comments: Although you have already made a great start, it still cannot change the fact that you are a scumbag, boy, keep working hard!

Side Quest: Please make Peanut Nougat and package twelve pieces of Peanut Nougat per box, so that one hundred boxes can be sold (63/100)

Quest Reward: Random Dou Technique Draw Opportunity once Quest Failure: The host's skin will turn into nougat for seven days, and I'll ask you if it's uncomfortable, smirking.

Quest Time: Seven days The sales progress of Peanut Nougat has reached sixty-three, which means that nearly forty packs of this one type alone were sold today.

In fact, he made statistics when he was carrying pastries back and forth. Basically, the most people bought Small Fried Dough Twist, Sticky Rice Strips, and Mung Bean Cakes, followed by those who bought Honeyed Shortbread, and then the remaining pastries.

He didn't expect that Sticky Rice Strips would be so popular. Although it was said to have the effect of enlightenment, it also depends on one's character.

If you are a non-Emirate who has lived for thousands of years, drawing cards and scratching prizes is just to thank you for your patronage, which is probably of no use.

Overall, Sticky Rice Strips is just a piece of luck.

"Oh, I don't know if Gu He and Gu Ni have come out of seclusion. Don't come out as soon as they go into seclusion. This old man Gu Ni still owes me some money."

When it comes to the last word, Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth.

Since Ruyi Zhai opened the store, Gu Ni was the first to default on his debts, and he was also the first store manager to advance payment to Gu Ni.

At this time, there were basically only people queuing up outside the store, mainly because it was too late now, and many people hurried over from other areas, bought pastries and then went back.

And these people are basically people from several cities near Wutan City.

Ge Ye and the housekeeper lined up silently, and they were almost there, which made the two of them feel much better.

After waiting in line for nearly forty or fifty minutes, even the best-tempered person would be irritated, but due to Xiao Wu's strength, he had to hold it back.

Nalan Su, who was playing last, still had no change in his expression, but his brows were furrowed deeper.

"We haven't been waiting in line yet. There are so many people today."

Following this sigh, he felt quite helpless.

Although his identity is from the Nalan Family, he has to abide by the rules here, but in Nalan Su's heart, he is still a little resentful towards the store manager Ruyi Zhai.

Regardless of his identity, it is also a blessing for this store manager that he, a strong Dou Ling person, comes to buy things.

But when he saw the figure of Xiao Wu, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

He actually couldn't see through this strong man's cultivation.

Then he glanced at the faces of Ge Ye and the butler in front of him, and found that there was no change.

"I, Dou Ling, can't even see through the cultivation level of this guard. It seems that this is at least a strong Dou Huang Realm. To be able to hire a Dou Emperor to be the guard of the store, there must be a big force behind this Ruyi Zhai."

I thought to myself.

At first, he didn't pay attention to this strong man, that is, Xiao Wu. He was glad that he didn't do anything drastic just now. This made him smile bitterly. If he hadn't been reminded by Ge Ye and the others, he would probably have to lie down now.

Xiao Yan is still resting at Qingshan Town at this time.

In a room, Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Qi around him.

As Dou Qi improves, his level of One-Star Dou Zhe is also slowly improving.

After a long time, Xiao Yan exited the cultivation state and looked at Old Yao floating in the air and said.

"Teacher, shall we go to the Monster Mountain Range now?"

"No rush, no rush, I heard that Ruyi Zhai is on sale at half price today. All pastries are sold at half the price. Don't you be greedy?"

After hearing the news from the teacher, Xiao Yan felt bad all over.

What does this mean? I came out to experience it myself, and Shop Owner Xiao actually started selling pastries at a discount.

You can't complain about this. After all, people can get discounts whenever they want.

But if he can get in front of Xiao Cheng now if he wants to die, he will definitely say something.

"Store manager, we are fellow villagers. You are treating me well by doing this. Ahem, it's too much. It should be that you are not being kind to me by doing this."

It's useless to say anything now, I can't go back now, but the price of pastries is halved, which is most needed for Xiao Yan who is in urgent need of making money.

"Teacher, if you say this now, you are really jealous of me, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's depressed look, Old Yao couldn't help but smile.

"Don't be so depressed. Everyone has his or her own luck. Since you haven't got that chance, you'd better practice honestly."

Xiao Yan can't refute what Old Yao said. Yes, everyone has their own luck. What kind of things they encounter and what kind of opportunities they get are also different.

"Oh, I still feel it's a pity. Forget it, I can't see what Ruyi Zhai is like now. Out of sight, out of mind."

Immediately, Xiao Yan quickly walked out of the room, planning to go to the Monster Mountain Range, but he was still heartbroken that he did not buy the half-price pastries.

Old Yao also returned to Xiao Yan's ring, but Xiao Yan didn't notice the smile on the corner of his mouth when he went back.
