Worried That She's Possessed By a Demon

The old man smiled. "I know, I'm acquainted with your family. Well, get me two of each first."

Qi Mianmian smiled.

He was helping out with the business on account of their grandfather.

"Alright."

She finished packing the items skillfully. "Here you go. You're our first customer, so you'll get a discount. You can just pay seventy cents for this."

"Thank you."

The old man smiled and paid. He took out a cake from the paper bag and began eating it as he walked away.

However, he only took a few steps before he turned back. "I didn't expect it to be so delicious. Here, pack twenty more cakes for me. As for the bread… Wait, let me try it first…"

As the old man spoke, he took out a loaf of bread and took a bite. After tasting it carefully, he said, "Mmm, the taste of the bread is good too. Get me ten pieces of those as well. For the cakes, I want the ones with raisins, and for the bread, I want the ones with bean paste."

Elderly Lady Qi was speechless.

Heavens, thirty-eight of them were sold at once?

Qi Mianmian, Qi Zhen, and Qi Tian swiftly packed twenty cakes and ten loaves of bread for the old man and received three dollars in return—a staggeringly large sum of money.

After the old man left, Elderly Lady Qi asked Qi Mianmian in a low voice, "Mianmian, why do you suddenly know so much?"

Elderly Lady Qi felt that Qi Mianmian had also changed too much and was worried that she was possessed by a demon.

Although Elderly Lady Qi was speaking implicitly, the suspicion in her words was very obvious.

Qi Zhen was about to lose her temper, but Qi Mianmian pulled her back and said with a smile, "I heard about all of this when I was learning medicine from Grandpa two years ago. Now that I think about it, it was really fun back then, especially when I went to visit those rich families. There were countless delicious things to eat and fun things to do, and the stories they told me were really interesting. When I have time, I'll tell them to everyone, especially Yangyang. I guarantee that you'll enjoy listening to them."

When Elderly Lady Qi heard this, she thought of the displays of splendor whenever patients with extraordinary family backgrounds had visited their house for diagnoses or medical treatment, back when Old Master Qi was still alive. She sighed. "Yes, your grandfather was a capable man, but unfortunately…"

Unfortunately, none of his three sons could compare to him.

…

From then on, one or two customers would come from time to time.

There were no crowds, but most of the customers bought a lot. They would buy at least twenty in one go.

Moreover, the items with raisins and bean paste were more popular than ordinary ones.

After a while, Elderly Lady Qi, Qi Zhen, and the others realized the pattern.

Most of their customers were rich folk.

They weren't worried about the price, they were just worried that it wouldn't taste good.

In less than three hours, not only were the cakes and bread sold out, but they also received orders for 300 cakes with raisins.

The other party was the wife of the factory manager of the top plastic factory in the city. Her son was going to get married soon, and she felt that these cakes would be a more presentable gift for the bride-to-be's family and friends.

Qi Mianmian was going to fulfill her promise to buy meat buns for everyone. However, everyone had eaten a lot of the scraps of bread and cake, and all expressed their refusal.

Elderly Lady Qi did the same.

"Why do you want to buy that for? If you have more cake scraps or pieces of bread, just leave a little more for me. Hmm, don't give me undamaged cakes or loaves of bread in the future. Just the scraps will do."

Qi Mianmian agreed with a smile.

Then, Elderly Lady Qi and Qi Tian brought Qi Yang home while the others went to purchase more ingredients.

The three hundred cakes were to be packaged properly in boxes for the other party, so they had to buy boxes as well.

Each box cost three cents. Qi Mianmian bought five hundred at one go, and spent an additional twenty yuan on a small cart.

When they pushed the cart full of things back, Elderly Lady Qi was ready to burst into tears. "Ah, it's not like we don't have a cart at home. Why did you buy this?"
