Chapter 507: Inadequate Preparation 507
In the stifling heat, they had queued for a long time. If they managed to buy something, at least their effort wasn’t wasted.
Unfortunately, the ice had already sold out. Although more was being made in the back courtyard, it couldn’t match the speed of sales.
Having suffered in vain for half the day and not bought ice, being servants themselves, they might face punishment from their masters when they got back, which naturally made everyone feel upset.
Thus, the crowd instantly became riotous.
"You’re running a store, yet you run out of stock on the first day. What kind of business is this..."
"Exactly, our lady and young miss are waiting for the ice to cool off, and you just run out like that, is it not deliberately making it difficult for us to go back?"
"Yes, yes..."
A chorus of agreement ensued.
Seeing the situation continue to escalate wasn’t a solution, and it occurred because she hadn’t considered everything thoroughly. Ye Jiu immediately stepped forward, "Everyone, please quiet down. Let me speak..."
"And who are you?" Ye Jiu’s youth was the least persuasive aspect of her, and when she stepped up and shouted, it was naturally met with a wave of opposition voices.
This time, Ye Wenzheng didn’t wait for Ye Jiu to respond and already stepped forward, saying, "She is the owner of our ice shop and can make decisions on behalf of the store. Please calm down and listen to what the owner has to say."
