However, just as she walked out of the door, she saw a woman poking her head over.
She walked up to Gu Yundong and asked with a smile, "You’re Boss Gu, right? Your shop’s business is too good. Is this really specially for serving female guests? Is it okay for me to go in?"
Gu Yundong glanced at her. No matter how she looked at it, this woman did not look like she just came in to eat and drink.
However, she was doing business. As long as their clothes were clean and tidy, she naturally wouldn’t stop people outside.
She took a step back and smiled. "Of course, no problem. Madam, come in. I’ll take your order."
"Aye, alright, alright."
The woman followed her in. Gu Yundong led her directly to the counter and handed her the menu. "Madam, what do you want to eat? Everything is written on it. The price is also marked. Just say the word and we’ll have someone record it."
The woman glanced at it and frowned. She waved her hand and said, "I can’t read. Can you read it to me?"
Gu Yundong smiled. "Alright, I’ll read it to you."
Not only were there words on the menu, but there were also pictures. It was to let the guests feel more intuitively and understand what they had ordered so that they wouldn’t get it wrong.
Gu Yundong felt that she was very considerate.
She pointed at the picture of the pearl milk tea and said to the woman, "This is pearl milk tea. The price is 150 copper coins a cup. The taste..."
Before she could finish, the woman widened her eyes and screamed, "What did you say? One hundred and fifty copper coins for a cup of tea? You’re robbing me. Your conscience is about to be ruined."
Gu Yundong was speechless. No, she did not.
Although a cup of milk tea was simple to make, the ingredients were not easy to find.
Not to mention the rare and expensive white sugar, even the milk was not easy to get. Coupled with the identity of the guests they were entertaining, the tea leaves were all top-notch.
The price of 150 copper coins was decided after a long discussion with Madam Ge and Nanny Xia.
She also made food here, and a plate of vegetables in a high-end restaurant in the capital cost 200 copper coins.
Some rich young masters would pay more than ten taels of silver for a casual meal. That was really stealing money, alright?
However, the woman did not think so. When she heard the price, she looked at Gu Yundong as if she was a heinous person.
She really wanted to point at Gu Yundong’s nose and scold her. She wanted to wake her up and tell her to have a conscience.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw that all the customers in the shop were looking at her disapprovingly.
There were even a small number of people who mocked her with disdain, as if she was a poor person who could not even take out 150 copper coins.
The woman’s expression changed slightly. She suddenly turned around and ran.
Gu Yundong was speechless. She had yet to say anything.
However, her silence still made people come forward to comfort her. "Boss Gu, ignore her. She doesn’t have money, yet she’s blaming others. She hasn’t seen the world. She’s just saying that grapes are sour because she can’t afford them."
"That’s right. How is this milk tea expensive? Such delicious tea is completely worth this price."
"I prefer the canned food that Boss Gu gave me yesterday. Boss Gu, are you still giving it to me today? Where can I buy it?"
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I don’t have canned food today, but after some time, when my Gu’s shop opens, I will be able to sell it."
That person was instantly disappointed.
Gu Yundong asked them to go back for tea first. As soon as they left, Mrs. Yu ran back from outside the shop.
