Chapter 680: Once Sold, No Responsibility!

rightly in the sky with not a single cloud. 。On the contrary, those families living in higher elevations in the village ran out of water in their wells. 。One, two, three... Half a month later, most o...The Baiyun Inn just opened, with not many guests yet.

Bao Lei put on the airs of a pampered granddaughter from a prominent family, arrogantly ordering Peng, the shopkeeper, to pack up all the pastries in his shop.

Peng Zhanguì cursed inwardly, but on his face, he smiled and welcomed the person upstairs to a small sitting room. Then he ordered the young servant to hurry up and find the master of the house.

It happened that Jiayin came to the city today, and she arrived at the shop in no time.

Peng Zhanggui let out a long breath and stepped forward, whispering: "Master, the Miss Bao from the Princess's Mansion is upstairs."

"What a big mouth! He made me pack up all the goods as soon as he walked in. I wonder how their shop is doing and if they can sell them."

"Just forget about all this for now," Jia Yin waved her hand, "Let's go talk and see what happens."

Peng Zhanggui quickly led the way and went straight into the private room.

Bao Lei was leaning against a soft, big dog plush toy, eating cake, her mind probably churning with some plan, her expression surprisingly pleasant.

As soon as the door swung open, sunlight streamed in from outside, bathing Jia Yin in its warm rays. Bao Lei instinctively squinted her eyes.

Jia Yin was wearing a light red blouse embroidered with buds of tender yellow flowers today. She paired it with a moon-white, floral pleated skirt. A cloud pattern gold pendant hung from her chest, and crystal rose gold thread earrings adorned her ears. Her small hands were tucked into the sleeves of a white fox fur cuff embroidered with folded lotus branches in satin.

Thus dressed, she was both warm and elegant, making her skin look even more fair, and her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings.

Bao Lei's handlessly pulled at the seven-point new chestnut-colored mink coat on her body, and the jealousy in her heart surged like waves.

In terms of lineage, she was the granddaughter of a princess. This chubby girl before you was just a peasant who fled to the north during a famine.

But now, she wears gold and silver jewelry, and has even been given the title of county princess.

And she, this noblewoman who, by all rules, should have been granted the title of County Lord, had no titles whatsoever. She even dressed like a pauper...

Jia Yin stood at the door, allowing herself to be scrutinized for a long time before smiling and saying, "Miss Bao, shouldn't you pay me respects Could it be that the Princess Manor didn't teach you proper etiquette"

Bao Lei came to her senses, gritted her teeth, and reluctantly got up to bow.

Jia Yin sat opposite him, and Peng, the shop owner, immediately personally served her hot milk tea and freshly baked small cakes.

Jia Yin ate two bites of cake and took a sip of milk tea before calling Bao Lei to get up.

Bao Lei only crouched for a while, she wasn't tired, but her heart was filled with resentment.

She held back her anger and directly led out the third princess, “Your Highness, the goods that the third princess requests, please have them packed up quickly and bring them away.”

"Otherwise, the opening of the Third Princess's branch will be delayed, and when the Third Princess blames us, the County Princess may not be able to bear it."

"Is that so Did the Third Princess come down to blame you That's just between her and me. Don't worry, no matter what happens, it's not your fault as my attendant." Jiayin ate and drank with increasing ease, casually responding to a couple of words.

Especially the two words "follow me," they made Bao Lei's face even worse.

Not until Jia Yin had admired her face enough did she say, “I agreed to the Emperor to supply this branch with goods, but how they are supplied is up to me.”

From today onwards, what goods you can get, how much of each item, and the price of each item will all be decided by our shop.

"Moreover, you have to inspect the goods on the spot and pay immediately. Once the goods leave the store, if any problems arise, we are not responsible."

After all, it's food. If you have bad intentions and add something to it, then come back and hold us responsible, wouldn't that be unfair to us

If you accept these terms, come downstairs to collect the goods. If not, leave as soon as possible and don't waste our time doing business.

Bao Lei's eyes widened in anger, she was furious like a pregnant toad.

When buying something, the buyer's word doesn't count, you have to listen to the seller's arrangements!

She wanted to say no, but her own shop was empty. She had to endure it.

As time passed, Baiyun relaxed her defenses on this side. Then she could plot.

"Alright, we just opened today, so other things can be less, but there has to be plenty of cake." She gritted her teeth and agreed.

Unfortunately, Jia Yin completely ignored her and turned to ask Peng Zhuangui, "What kind of goods are there in the shop, and how much have you prepared today Give them some, and remember to include the packing fee."

“Mr. Peng quickly said, “Snacks like potato chips can be distributed equally with two catties per item, and there are thirty small cakes available. As for drinks and bubble tea… they're not convenient to take away; you can only drink them in the store.”

"Well then, let it be so." Jiayin nodded, settling the matter.

Peng Zhanggui immediately went downstairs and, with his young helpers, began to bustle about.

Soon, everything was packed up.

Bao Lei, with a black face, was about to pay the bill, but unexpectedly found herself in an awkward situation.

Her silver wasn't enough!

The princess gave fifty taels, and half was spent on making the basic wooden frame.

Now she only had over twenty taels in her hand, but today's purchases cost thirty taels.

The difference between them is seven or eight points, enough to bring shame upon oneself.

Peng Zhanguai was displeased with Bao Lei's arrogance just now. If the master hadn't arrived, they wouldn't have known how to handle this predicament.

Besides, in the long run, it is impossible for the county princess to always be by their side to support them.

Only by completely crushing their opponent once would their business be safe from constant harassment.

So, he immediately laughed and said, "Miss Bao, you are the legitimate daughter of the Chang Princess's Mansion. Wouldn't you even have thirty taels of silver on your person"

Inside the shop, seven or eight customers were picking out food. Hearing the words "Long Princess's Manor," they all turned their heads to watch the commotion.

Bao Lei's face was so red it was almost bleeding. She quickly took off a jade pendant from her neck, "This was given to me by my grandmother when I was born. I'm leaving it with you as collateral. Tomorrow I'll bring the silver and buy it back."

Jia Yin immediately said, "Miss Bao, I know you are a strong person who would never owe anyone a single penny.

"If I didn't accept this jade pendant today, you wouldn't have felt at ease taking these goods away anyway... so… I'll just take it.

But I will only keep it for you for one day. Tomorrow, when you bring me the money, I will return it to you immediately.

"Such a precious jade pendant, and it's something you wear so close to your body. In the future, please don't just take it off and give it to others casually. Otherwise, if it were taken by a bad person and ruined your reputation, it would be a loss that outweighs any gain."

"On the first day my nanny was teaching me manners, she said this: 'Miss Bao is older than me, so she should know better. Perhaps because it's been too long since she learned it, she has forgotten.' "

Bao Lei simply wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

She took off the jade pendant, intending to take advantage of this peasant girl, thinking she didn't know the rules.

After returning, she could have people spread gossip about her, such as how Princess Kangle forced her to pledge personal belongings, which was truly too much...

From now on, if there's any disagreement between her and Bai Yun again, everyone will think she's the victim.

To her surprise, Princess Kang Le not only took the jade pendant but also openly declared that she was ill-mannered and lacked etiquette.

Not only did he fail to harm others, but he also ended up harming himself!

She could no longer hold on, she turned her head and was about to leave, but Jia Yin pulled her back, “Miss Bao, you have to check all the food. Once we leave our stall, we are no longer responsible for it.”

Although the weather is cold today, cake is not something that can be stored for long and it's best to buy it fresh out of the oven.

"If you sell it tomorrow and a customer eats the spoiled cake and gets sick, and they come to us, we'll have nowhere to turn, won't we"ord laughed, a hearty laugh, even though he was being scolded.After chatting for a while, he led Ye Shan slowly back, leaving the Li family to disperse and rest.Li Lao, supporting her eldest son back...
