Top assassin Jiang Xueying suddenly finds herself transported into another world, becoming the infamous "evil stepmother" to two children. Jiang Xueying, who has been single her whole life,...
After eating several mouthfuls, Manager Liu stopped. The feeling in his mouth was still spreading, and the tip of his tongue felt tingling and numb. It was a strange feeling, as if his whole body was refreshed.
"Delicious, delicious, what...what is this taste like? It's so delicious!"
As Shopkeeper Liu spoke, he took a sip of tea. The delicious taste continued to stimulate the tip of his tongue, making him want to take a few more bites.
"Miss Jiang, what on earth have you put in these years? It feels spicy with a hint of sweetness, refreshing and stimulating. This taste... is really hard to describe. Anyway, it's delicious."
This taste seems to make people addicted after eating it, and the feeling in the mouth will not dissipate. It's amazing!
"In fact, I didn't put anything in it. I just added some rock sugar and some chili peppers. I thought you guys haven't eaten chili peppers much before so you might need to get used to it before you can accept it, so I added some rock sugar to neutralize it. I didn't expect the effect to be quite good!"
"Chili? What kind of chili? Adding rock sugar to the dish, this... no wonder I felt a hint of sweetness after eating it!"
Shopkeeper Liu was amazed. Firstly, he was curious about the chili pepper, and secondly, he was impressed by the use of rock sugar in the dish. All in all, it was delicious.
But... as for the chili peppers, Jiang Xueying didn't know how to explain them to them. She found that these people didn't eat much chili peppers. It was considered a new species that she introduced, and it would be a bit troublesome to explain.
"It's just a seasoning. You'll understand it after using it more!"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The other people in the room saw the two of them talking and laughing, their eyes shining as they looked at the pot that was still emitting a fragrant aroma. When Manager Liu noticed this, he couldn't help but smile and quickly asked everyone to try it. Everyone then happily took chopsticks to try it.
When everyone was about to try, the waiter came hurriedly, "Boss, Manager Chen is here!"
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at Jiang Xueying.
Jiang Xueying reacted quickly, and quickly took a plate from the kitchen, scooped a portion and handed it to Shopkeeper Liu, "Shopkeeper, you can take it over to Manager Chen to try!"
Manager Liu's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what she meant. This Manager Chen came at the right time. He could try out the new dish she made today and also find out whether this dish could be served at Princess Shou's birthday banquet.
Carrying the plate, Manager Liu hurriedly followed the waiter to see Manager Chen.
As soon as Manager Liu left, everyone continued to eat at Jiang Xueying's invitation. They wolfed down the food as if they hadn't eaten for days, and of course they didn't forget to say a few words of flattery.
"Miss Jiang, you are amazing. All the dishes in our restaurant were researched by you. Other restaurants have never seen them. I have checked them out in the past few days, and our restaurant has the best business!"
In fact, Jiang Xueying had not expected this. After all, Yueyinglou was just like a baby that had just established itself in the capital. It was a miracle that it could achieve such good results.
If we can organize the birthday banquet for Princess Shou well this time, we will make a name for ourselves in the capital, and Yueying Tower's position in the capital will naturally be unshakable in the future.
"The success of Yueyinglou is inseparable from the efforts of everyone present. As long as our restaurant performs well, everyone will get more!"
People who come out to earn money do so to support their families. It is useless to tell them so many unrealistic ideals and beliefs. What they need most is money. So linking everything to personal interests will be the driving force for their efforts.
Although this idea is too utilitarian, it is the best way in business.
"Thank you Miss Jiang!"
"Thank you Miss Jiang!"
"It's okay, you guys just do your work, I'll go upstairs and check the latest account books first!"
Jiang Xueying got up and left the kitchen and went to a room on the second floor reserved for storage.
As soon as she reached the door, the accountant saw her and quickly stood up and saluted, "Miss Jiang, you're here!"
Jiang Xueying smiled and nodded, then went to the side and took the nearest account book to start looking at it. The accountant was also very tactful and went back to his work.
Using modern scientific calculation methods, Jiang Xueying quickly checked the thick stack of account books. After a simple calculation, the total amount for these ten days was almost close to ten thousand taels of silver, but after deducting all expenses, there was only about two thousand taels left.
The net profit for a full ten days reached more than two thousand taels, which is an income that many people could never get in their entire lives. It can be said to be a huge profit.
Jiang Xueying is very satisfied with this income. If she continues like this, she can achieve financial freedom. It will be easy to expand the scale in the future, and she will have the capital to do other things.
Haha, I didn’t expect that she would become a real rich woman after coming here, that’s great!
She put the account book on the table, and the sound she made startled the accountant, "Miss Jiang, have you...read it?"
Every time Jiang Xueying came and left in a hurry, the accountant deeply doubted whether she understood it or was just pretending.
Jiang Xueying nodded. She naturally understood the accountant's doubts and smiled unconsciously.
"Well, our restaurant has made good profits in the past two days, but it's a little less than before. It seems that it's time to promote what I made today!"
The accountant was stunned, somewhat doubtful. He had not yet finished calculating the accounts on hand, so the accounts for the past few days had not been summarized. Miss Jiang was just taking a look, how could she calculate it so quickly? How is it possible?
Jiang Xueying didn't explain much and asked the accountant to get busy first while she left as she had something to do.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Manager Liu at the stairs. He smiled and said to Jiang Xueying, "Miss Jiang, it's a good thing you're here. Manager Chen ate the tripe you made and was so happy that he specifically asked that this dish must be served at the birthday banquet."
Jiang Xueying was also very happy to hear this. She didn't expect that Manager Chen would like this dish so much. It seems that they both like spicy food.
"That's good. Then you should hurry up and prepare, and try to serve all the specialties of our restaurant to the banquet in time."
"Okay!"
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of September, and Princess Shou's birthday banquet was held as scheduled.
On this day, the Shouwang Mansion was packed with people and was extremely lively. All the people of some status in the capital city flocked to the Shouwang Mansion.
Of course, not everyone can enter the palace. You must have an invitation to the banquet to enter.
Carriages arrived one after another in front of the palace. Fortunately, the area in front of the Shou Palace was large enough, and several people were specially arranged to clear the way for the carriages, otherwise the area would have been in chaos.
Nobles dressed in luxurious robes came to celebrate the birthday with precious gifts, and the smiles on their faces were almost reaching their molars.
