Shopkeeper Jiang led the group over, clearly with ill intentions.
Cen Ya wore a worried expression, unsure of the true nature of the Compressed Biscuit. She pondered to herself; it was as hard as a brick, completely unlike food. Just moments ago, when she had placed the Compressed Biscuit on the counter, a piece had accidentally fallen off. The moment it hit the wooden countertop, it produced a dull thud—enough to be used as a hidden weapon if necessary. Why was Shopkeeper Jiang so confident?
Yan Dong noticed Che Chengyun's wicked grin and realized that this Langya Wang Heir was up to no good. However, he was completely unaware of Jiang Han's intentions with the Compressed Biscuit, which made Yan Dong anxious. He tried several times to signal Jiang Han, but each time he was met with Jiang Han's dismissive smile.
The two women saw Jiang Han standing with his arms crossed, eagerly awaiting what would happen next, and they felt as restless as ants on a hot pan. From their perspective, could it be that the so-called Compressed Biscuit was merely disguised bricks?
Shopkeeper Jiang had launched a new snack? The prince's Hui Xin Ju had also introduced new pastries that were selling quite well. Che Chengyun wore a mocking expression and provocatively glanced at Jiang Han, clearly curious about how Shopkeeper Jiang's new snack compared to his own.
"Better by ten thousand times!" Jiang Han retorted with his arms still crossed.
"Oh? So you're quite confident?" Che Chengyun smirked and signaled to his subordinate Xu Yao.
Xu Yao immediately stepped between the two shops and shouted loudly to attract the attention of those queuing outside Hui Xin Ju, drawing the gaze of passersby as well. "Today marks the launch of our new pastries at Hui Xin Ju! Buy two and get one free! And right in front of us is Shopkeeper Jiang's shop, which has also introduced new pastries. What a pity!"
He feigned a look of deep sorrow and continued, "As fellow merchants, we at Hui Xin Ju simply cannot bear to see Shopkeeper Jiang's shop so empty. After all, we are neighbors! Therefore, any customer who has purchased pastries from Hui Xin Ju can come over to Shopkeeper Jiang ’s shop for a look without any pressure to buy!"
He added with enthusiasm, "Just come take a look and give Shopkeeper Jiang an opportunity to showcase his new pastries! As long as you visit, you can come back to Hui Xin Ju for a free pastry."
As soon as he finished speaking, joy spread across the faces of the crowd, who turned their attention toward Jiang Han’s shop. Many customers who had bought pastries from Hui Xin Ju rushed over to Jiang Han’s store upon hearing they could receive another pastry just for looking. Within moments, dozens of people surrounded the entrance of Jiang Han’s shop, clamoring for him to display his new pastries. They insisted that if they liked what they saw, they would buy some for themselves.
It’s over, it’s over!
Che Chengyun is definitely up to no good. How could this guy possibly help us promote our new pastries for free?
Yan Dong felt anxious, fully aware that Che Chengyun was not so kind-hearted and surely had a backup plan.
Cen Ya frowned, her silver teeth lightly biting her lip. When she looked at Che Chengyun, her eyes were filled with hatred.
What was called promotion was, in fact, a public humiliation of Shopkeeper Jiang's pastries. The more people who came, the worse it would be. If something went wrong, Shopkeeper Jiang's pastries would gain a bad reputation. Once that reputation spread through so many mouths, it wouldn’t take long for it to reach every corner of the capital. Shopkeeper Jiang would find it nearly impossible to make money from his pastries again; it would be like dreaming.
On the outskirts of the crowd, Su Qianxue noticed the malicious situation where Che Chengyun was surrounded by people.
Jiang Han stood still, arms crossed, scrutinizing everyone as if evaluating merchandise. She nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Jiang Han’s calm demeanor in the face of danger was truly underappreciated for someone of his talents.
Your Majesty! The female guard beside her whispered, asking if she should go buy some Shopkeeper Jiang pastries.
Go ahead and bring back two portions for me.
A smile of relief appeared on Su Qianxue’s lips. Even though she saw through Che Chengyun's scheme, she still had full confidence in Jiang Han!
Langya Wang Heir Che Chengyun saw that the crowd had gathered sufficiently. With a smile on his face as he watched Jiang Han, his heart was filled with resentment.
Jiang Han, this time I will ruin your reputation! Your Compressed Biscuit isn’t a brick; I will guide the crowd to believe it is one.
Shopkeeper Jiang, since so many people have come, why not take your pastries out from behind the counter? Che Chengyun said with a smile.
Alright, since so many have come, I should thank the Heir for that.
Jiang Han chuckled lightly and turned to retrieve the Compressed Biscuit. He had just seen several high-ranking officials among the crowd.
The effect has not yet reached its peak.
When Jiang Han returned to the shop, he saw the two women following him with some apprehension and reassured them: "Don’t worry; I’ve got everything under control."
Upon hearing this, the two women looked at Jiang Han, who remained unfazed as if a mountain had crumbled before him. Their hearts raced, and they surprisingly calmed down.
Cen Ya watched Jiang Han's retreating figure with the plate in hand, and various graceful postures of Jiang Han flashed through her mind, leaving her feeling quite charmed.
"Everyone! This is my shop's new pastry, called Compressed Biscuit!"
Jiang Han did not provide any further explanation and turned to Che Chengyun, waiting for a response.
"Compressed Biscuit? I haven't heard of it," Che Chengyun replied with a smile, signaling Xu Yao to step forward.
Unintentionally, Xu Yao's cheeks twitched for a moment. "Heir, are you really asking me to taste this?"
"This is like a brick!"
If I actually bite into it, what will happen to my teeth?
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yao wanted to find an excuse to back out but saw Che Chengyun's threatening gaze. He could only muster his courage, smiling as he stepped forward to pick up a piece of Compressed Biscuit. He then turned around to show it to the onlookers.
The crowd eagerly anticipated Xu Yao's reaction after tasting it before they would try it themselves. When selling snacks, there’s always a tasting session; everyone knows that they need to sample the flavor before making a purchase.
In front of everyone, Xu Yao hesitated briefly before placing the Compressed Biscuit into his mouth.
Jiang Han couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Xu Yao suddenly shove half of the Compressed Biscuit into his mouth. He silently praised Xu Yao for being so brave; even he had only nibbled at the Compressed Biscuit bit by bit. It was the first time he had seen someone bite right into the middle.
Crunch!
A crisp sound echoed through the air.
Xu Yao looked down in shock and realized that his front tooth had fallen out from biting into the Compressed Biscuit. He was utterly stunned.
