Chapter 26: Turning Everything Upside Down!

Inside the shop, Bai Jingzhu was "communicating" with Xiao Ka. Hearing the commotion around her and learning about the new arrivals, she quickly finished her checkout and returned to her sister’s side.

She found her sister already reaching for a second dessert, her face full of satisfaction.

"What is this?" Bai Jingzhu asked curiously.

"Qiongye Cake. It's delicious," Bai Jinglan replied without hesitation. "You aren't trying to lose weight, are you? I think this is perfect for when you're feeling a bit peckish."

Seeing this, Bai Jingzhu reached out and took one, popping it into her mouth.

The moment it touched her tongue, she felt a subtle, delicate sweetness—just right, not so rich as to be cloying. Remembering the millet cakes she had eaten before, she noted they were similar, but she could clearly discern the difference: the Qiongye Cake was more fragrant, as if each bite offered a new layer of flavor.

As expected, anything from Yu’s Grocery Store was top-tier. She was absolutely in love.

"Boss, do you have more in stock? Give me ten boxes," Bai Jingzhu said without a second thought.

The smile on Yu Zui’s face became even more sincere. "They are already being prepared for delivery; they should arrive very soon."

Because of the popularity of her other products, she had pre-ordered twenty small boxes and ten large boxes of this new arrival. She had already reached half of her target. Of course, the task objective had already been exceeded.

"System, trigger the mission," Yu Zui prompted in her mind.

[Side Mission 4: Sell 1 box of Qiongye Cake within one day]
[Reward: Product Card *1]
[Countdown: 23 hours, 23 minutes, 31 seconds]

"If I complete ten at once, will there be an advanced version of the mission?" Yu Zui confirmed.

[Yes.]

Getting the answer, Yu Zui felt immensely satisfied. At that moment, Lin Chenlu also approached, looking content with several boxes of desserts in her hands.

"Are these new desserts? When will they be available?" Lin Chenlu asked curiously.

"Try one first," Bai Jinglan said, handing one to Lin Chenlu.

Lin Chenlu took it without hesitation, and from the first bite, she was conquered by its soft, glutinous texture. More importantly, it was the flavor; despite not being fresh out of the oven, it retained that signature fluffiness. The craftsmanship was truly superb!

Lin Chenlu grew even more excited about the desserts she held. She quickly handed them over to the two sisters. "Look, you bought a whole pile, you haven't had time to taste these yet! This is Lotus Seed Ice Cake and 'Spring Water's Birth'—they must have completely different flavors."

The three of them opened the Lotus Seed Ice Cake first. As the box opened, a cool, refreshing air rushed out. Looking at the dessert inside, it was lifelike, resembling a blooming white lotus flower surrounded by a faint mist. Against such a backdrop, it was breathtakingly beautiful. Although the effect was fleeting, it was stunning enough to leave them speechless.

"God, your bamboo boxes have such incredible preservation effects, don't they? What method do you use?" Lin Chenlu exclaimed.

"That's a trade secret, but rest assured, it's completely harmless to the human body," Yu Zui explained. Fortunately, there were plenty of ways to achieve this effect in reality.

"Your shop really has so many tricks up its sleeve. I’m definitely going to film an unboxing video later," Lin Chenlu said, picking up a piece of the Lotus Seed Ice Cake to taste.

The moment it touched her tongue, she could actually feel a hint of icy coolness. "Ahhh! It’s so good, this is exactly what I love!"

The sisters, Bai Jinglan and Bai Jingzhu, tried it as well, their eyes reflecting the same level of satisfaction as Lin Chenlu’s. Next came the "Spring Water's Birth." The three of them had received different colored versions; the crystalline, translucent exterior made the inner colors look exceptionally vibrant.

It was stunningly beautiful! The Lotus Seed Ice Cake was elegant and pure, while the "Spring Water's Birth" was vivid and colorful—each had its own unique charm. As for the taste, it was yet another masterpiece for their palates.

The desserts they ate today were truly one more exquisite than the last. The remarkable thing was that even though they were eating them in succession, the flavor of one didn't mask the others. You could clearly remember the unique taste of every single one. Compared to this, the desserts they had eaten in the past were reduced to mere scraps. Even the price suddenly seemed like a bargain.

"Boss, I want one box of each of the four drinks, and two boxes of each of the three types of large-sized desserts to take with me," Lin Chenlu said quickly. She was very satisfied after the tasting. Drinks could be stored, but desserts were best fresh; she would send someone else to buy more once she finished these. Other shops' desserts would no longer be able to catch her eye!

"Alright." Yu Zui didn't bother reminding her about the logistics of moving the goods, as she was certain the customer had a way to handle it. She walked toward the warehouse with a light step. After she brought the goods out, the delivery personnel arrived. Yu Zui distributed everything to them on the spot.

A moment later, Xiao Ka let out the same celebratory fanfare.

[Beautiful lady, the total after the discount is 40,098 yuan.]

Lin Chenlu paid calmly. Meanwhile, a group of tourists at the scene suffered another round of shock. There were so many wealthy people around; why couldn't they be among them? With two large orders appearing back-to-back, were the products here truly that good? Should they buy some to try? Many tourists were already tempted; buying the cheapest item for 88 yuan seemed well within their budget.

"Let’s add each other on WeChat. If I need to buy more later, I’ll tell you in advance so you can prepare the stock," Bai Jinglan said to Yu Zui before leaving. "Also, if there are new products, feel free to let us know when you have time."

After the quality check and the tasting, Bai Jinglan had already decided to make this a long-term shopping destination. Leaving contact information was absolutely necessary.

"Of course." Yu Zui added them immediately. These were major, major clients. Although she didn't know why they didn't choose to shop online, she respected her customers' choices. She assumed wealthy people probably didn't need to shop in person, yet here they were.

After adding the three on WeChat, they left. As for the cargo, they had their own drivers and errand runners to handle the transport. Once they left, the shop entered a small peak period. These were tourists who had been completely motivated by what they just witnessed. If others were spending tens of thousands, was it really excessive for them to spend a few dozen or a hundred? Not at all.

As for Yu Zui, she began happily collecting her rewards.

[Ding! Side Mission 4 completed.]
[Reward: Product Card *1]

Yu Zui continued to choose the food category. She decided that once she gathered four items, she would switch to a different category. Once all categories were developed, she would add new products based on actual circumstances. Since she was running a grocery store, she couldn't let people have the fixed impression of a single-product shop.

The notifications came one after another, leaving Yu Zui feeling dizzy. She had a feeling that such situations would become more frequent in the future. However, she was more than happy to see it happen. Finally, Yu Zui’s gaze fixed on the logistics robot and the freezer unit, and her eyes lit up.

She was right; during the second side mission for the drink category, an extra reward had appeared. This time, for the second food category mission, an extra reward had also been added. And this reward was given by the management system based on her performance. She had been too busy to handle the checkout before, so she got an automatic checkout machine. Now that she was too busy with online order fulfillment, she got a logistics robot. Even the tables and chairs from the enhanced mission and this freezer unit were all meant to improve service.

It seemed that all she had to do was work hard to sell goods; the more she sold, the more rewards she would get. With such a "boss," she was truly willing to work until the end of time.

The next moment, Yu Zui extracted them without hesitation. She chose the delivery method for the new Jasper Cakes. As for the logistics robot, she extracted it directly into the warehouse. Only she knew what was inside the warehouse. After the extraction, Yu Zui skipped over to the warehouse.

Upon opening it, she saw a square, sturdy robot. It was already in operation, folding boxes to the required specifications, placing bottles into them according to the orders, and stacking them neatly in the corner. Upon seeing Yu Zui, it said in a cute, soft voice, "Master, I have started working! Please grant me permission to move automatically within the shop."

Looking at the freshly minted delivery robot, Yu Zui thought, "This is absolutely incredible!"
