The Marquis' Wife
De Xiang's new menu and customer reaction

The new menu of parfait in the De Xiang store became a new topic for people living in Fucheng, sweet and cold cream and fresh fruit make women and children fall in love.

But for both men and businesses, their focus is on the manual refrigerators that Adelia ordered. The glass display and colorful parfait in it make the refrigerator so beautiful and luxurious.

They had never seen such refrigerators before so people flocked to buy parfait just to look directly at the manual refrigerators, there were even some of them who asked where the refrigerators were ordered.

Previously, if the family wanted to store ice or food to last a long time is to dig a basement and stack it with snow in the winter before putting the food they want to store. For people who want to drink cold drinks, then they can order large ice cubes from the store that sells them.

Just this time there was a new model cold food storage that they saw, of course it made people interested.

Because of that, the parfait that the waiter made was not enough and sold out before lunch hour arrived making the store clerk very excited because he will get a bonus.

"The lady is great. He had already predicted that the parfait was made not enough" Lu Niang sighed in admiration, at first he was a little anxious seeing so many parfait made, which he had made, he was afraid if the food was not exhausted and made a loss shop but the opposite happened.

"Yes. Madam Xiefu always made new things that could make people become amazed. I'm happy to be accepted to work here" Manager Zhu nodded in agreement. He felt lucky to be working at the De Xiang store after seeing the shop's unique and creative decor and the menu that was presented, at that time he was also confident that this store would grow and be able to attract many customers.

Lu Niang came home and could not wait to tell Adelia this.

"Everything sold out before lunch?".

"Yes madam. Servants do not expect people will be enthusiastic about buying parfait even if we sell it at a high price". One parfait was sold for 15 silver coins because the glass jar was included in it. Although expensive but 35 parfait sold out in just a few hours.

Adelia smiled happily and nodded with the enthusiasm of the people of the city of Fucheng, she knew that manual refrigerators became one of the causes of the parfait sold quickly.

"Mrs. Do we increase the number of parfait ma'am tomorrow? We can make even bigger profits!!" Lu Niang suggested with excitement.

But Adelia shook her head. "Sell the same amount. We will run hunger marketing, the rarer an item the more interested people will be".

"Hu-hunger?" The English term Adelia said was incomprehensible to Lu Niang.

"Hunger marketing's. We will make that eating parfait is something luxurious and rare, it will make its own attraction and people will be more vigorous to try parfait, he said, tomorrow you distribute the 35 parfait into 3 parts, sell in before lunch, after lunch and in the afternoon".

Lu Niang understood and did not understand. "Wouldn't that make people mad mad mad madam?" Holding back customer enthusiasm will definitely make customers will become dissatisfied and emotional.

"That's the effect I want, take it easy. Run what I tell you, you'll know the results later, tell Lu Xiao to look after the shop as well". There will certainly be those who complain and are not satisfied with the tricks he runs but will risk less shopkeepers if anyone wants to provoke these customers. Adelia still remembered the crazy and arrogant competitor, Liang Chenyue.

After Liang Chenyue came to his house and intended to buy forcibly the cake recipes and drinks he had, he said, Adelia realized that she was one of the people who made a troublemaker by placing cockroaches or hair on a cake that had been bought before.

In contrast to the happy atmosphere of Lu Xiang's family, in Zheng's residence the atmosphere looked gripping.

Liang Chenyue read today's declining sales report and threw away the report paper with great emotion. "Why are there so few sales today?!".

"Nyo-nyonya. It was because of the new menu that De Xiang's shop had put out" His personal servant replied in stammer.

Liang Chenyue looked intently at her servant making the woman's knee weak and she immediately knelt apologizing.

"Adelia. Adelia! Owen!!!" Liang Chenyue swept away the items that were in front on the table. His chest up and down held back the turbulent emotions.

Why did that damn woman appear and destroy her life?!! Ever since Adelia and De Xiang's shop appeared, nothing has gone smoothly in Liang Chenyue's life, sales have declined, relationships with her aunt have stretched and made an impression on her uncle.

It's all because of Adelia the cunning whore!!.

Liang Chenyue went berserk and even broke her favorite set of tea cups, she sat down after being content to vent her anger but her hands were still trembling with emotion.

His reddened eyes looked forward with a blank and cold gaze made his servants even more afraid and even tried not to breathe violently, trying to disguise the air of their existence.

"Prepare the horse carriage. I'm going somewhere". He could not sleep well if he had not avenged in his heart.

"But madam. It's a fucking night".

"I said get the horse carriage ready!!" Liang Chenyue slapped her servant tightly to make the woman's face turn and the tip of her mouth tear out blood.

"Good mistress" The woman did not care about the pain and ache on her face and immediately told the maid to prepare the horse carriage.

The other personal servant Liang Chenyue lowered her face but her eyes flashed, Prefect Zhong's servant said that he had to report all the strange gestures of his master.

At first he did not want to because he knew the risk of being discovered, he knew the cruel temperament of his master and did not see slaves and servants as humans.

He could be killed if caught treason and become a Prefect spy but the rewards of giving up slave status and finding a student husband and helping his family's finances destabilize him and finally willing to take the risk.

The girl's lips lifted up imagining a bright future that would be waiting for her but she immediately covered it so as not to make the other servants suspicious.

Three days later something happened and caused an uproar for Lu Xiang's family.
