Xu Su Ying waited and waited, but her daughter didn't return. She figured she must have been held up by the customers who had flocked to the shop.
She thought it would be a good opportunity to try some hunger marketing. Then, they could raise the prices accordingly to maximize their profits.
But her daughter refused.
She had put her off with the excuse that life was hard enough for scholars.
Xu Su Ying wasn't a truly heartless person. When she thought about how an entire common family had to tighten their belts just to support one scholar, she couldn't bring herself to persuade her daughter to follow her plan.
Seeing that her daughter still wasn't back, Xu Su Ying ate by herself and then hurried over to Qingxiang House.
As expected, Qingxiang House was packed with people, both inside and out.
From what she overheard, she learned they were placing pre-orders.
She couldn't help but sigh. 'Why didn't I think of this before?'
