Yun Zhiyi always thought she was the fake young mistress who had taken another's place. After the real one returned, she held back in every way.
Only after being thrown into the mass grav...
As long as the chef has good character and good skills, nothing else matters.
When Princess Fu'an returned to the capital, Yun Zhiyi dispatched a team from the escort agency, carrying dozens of carts of ingredients, to accompany Princess Fu'an's large entourage to the capital.
According to Wei Man Zhai's purchase limit, there are enough of these ingredients to last until after the New Year.
Once the supplies arrive and everyone has been trained in advance, we can open for business immediately with just a little preparation.
The opening day was an unprecedented success.
The restaurant wasn't located on a bustling central commercial street, but rather on a relatively secluded back street in the suburbs, though it was spacious enough.
It has four floors in total, with the first floor being a newly added renovation.
This floor is actually only half a floor, just like Wei Man Zhai, it's used as a place for employees to work and rest.
The restaurants in the imperial city are generally large, with three or four floors being quite common.
In addition, the location is relatively remote, otherwise the previous employer would not have been able to continue operating the business.
So when people in the surrounding area first learned that someone had bought the restaurant and was going to continue operating it, they were all pessimistic.
Even after it was later learned that the person who bought the restaurant seemed to have some connection with Princess Fu'an, no one was optimistic about it.
Their peers didn't even send anyone to gather information.
They completely ignored this old restaurant that was putting new wine in an old bottle.
Who knew that on the opening day, it would be like a bolt from the blue.
"Uncle Wu, the firecrackers are all hung up, shall we light them now?"
A young man dressed in a dark green short-sleeved shirt rushed up to a man with a scar on his face, asking questions with a mixture of trepidation and excitement.
Not only was this person dressed in green, but all the waiters in the restaurant were wearing this style of clothing.
Although it's all green, it's a very beautiful green.
The dark green top was almost black, with the three characters "Wei Man Zhai" embroidered in silver thread on the chest.
The hem of the clothes was also embroidered with silver thread with water ripples and silver carp leaping out of the water.
It instantly makes the whole outfit look more eye-catching.
The back of the garment was also dyed with a special technique to create a subtle pattern.
It also features the three characters "Wei Man Zhai," but it has been specially designed so that when enlarged, it looks like a painting.
You can only see it clearly when light shines on it.
The pants were all uniformly gray, but there was a small green patch at the ankle, which was also embroidered with water ripples and carp.
It looks neat and tidy.
Especially when everyone is in the same uniform and stands together, it is a pleasing sight to behold.
The man who was called Master Wu raised his hand and slapped the young man on the head.
"I forgot again, call the manager!"
The young man scratched his head, then chuckled and changed his tune, "Manager Wu, shall we light the fire now?"
Then the strong man hit him on the head again.
"Why light a fire? That's called welcoming good fortune and wealth. The auspicious time hasn't arrived yet, what's the rush?"
At this moment, another person came down from upstairs and walked over quickly, carrying a pile of things in his hands.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the young man quickly greeted him, "Manager Zhou."
Seeing that the two managers seemed to be about to discuss business, he prepared to leave.
But the person who came called out to them stopped them.
"Wait, give these things to those hooligans and thugs we recruited yesterday, and let them distribute them all over the place."
The young man took it and saw that it was a large stack of cardboard.
The paper is white, and many lifelike dishes are drawn on it, making it look very appetizing.
This was explained during yesterday's rehearsal, and the young man quickly grabbed it and ran out.
Shopkeeper Wu turned to look at the newcomer, and subconsciously reached out to touch the neatly trimmed stubble, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Aheng, do you really think this will work? What if no one comes?"
Zhou Xianheng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, big brother, there's absolutely no problem."
These two men are the first and second owners of Jubao Casino.
One was Tu Wu, the gambling den boss, and the other was Zhou Xianheng, who had been forced to work at the manor by Yun Zhiyi.
After receiving the letter from Yun Zhiyi, Tu Wu was unwillingly 'recruited'.
The main misunderstanding was that Yun Zhiyi was using the lives of his brothers as leverage.
Tu Wu was indeed very loyal. For the sake of Zhou Xianheng and the others' lives, he had no choice but to close the gambling den and follow Yun Zhiyi's arrangements.
Then he was assigned to be the manager of Weimanzhai.
At first, he was quite uncomfortable, until Zhou Xianheng and his group returned.
The two talked in the room for a long time before he truly began to take the job seriously.
But is it really feasible to open a restaurant in such a remote location?
Even the best wine needs to be discovered in a hidden alley.
Zhou Xianheng also returned with Princess Fu'an's entourage.
So he and his brothers in the village all experienced that miracle, which they still think is a dream when they think about it now.
Zhou Xianheng was a smart man. Even though he didn't get a single word from Yun Dongjia after witnessing the miracle, he still managed to understand it.
But it also made him realize that they might be embarking on an incredible path that they could never have reached in their entire lives before.
He was both apprehensive and excited about this.
On his long journey back to the capital, he thought about many things.
Then I made up my mind completely and seized this opportunity.
He went back and talked to his older brother, but he did not reveal the miracle he had witnessed at the farm.
I'll just pick out some other, more common ones to talk about.
But even the most ordinary things can be shocking when told.
For example, the fruits and vegetables she grows can strengthen the body and treat many common diseases.
For example, she led the villagers to grow wheat with a yield of up to 500 jin per mu.
For example, her martial arts skills are superb, and she is suspected of having a powerful sect behind her.
For example, Princess Fu'an and she don't seem to have a subordinate relationship. On the contrary, Princess Fu'an clearly has to listen to her, and even the Empress sends her gifts.
All of this was enough to shock Tu Wu, who had never had the opportunity to come into contact with the upper echelons of society.
Zhou Xianheng said all this mainly to persuade his elder brother not to have any ulterior motives and to simply lead his brothers to submit to her.
Zhou Xianheng's eloquence only suffered a Waterloo when he was in front of Yun Zhiyi.
Tu Wu, a brute, was so swayed by his words that he eventually agreed to everything.
The two are now considered the head and second-in-command of Wei Man Zhai in the capital.
However, Tu Wu still didn't know much about Yun Zhiyi's situation, and he had never witnessed that miracle.
I wonder just how popular and well-received Wei Man Zhai is in Lufeng City.
So now he's worried about not being able to attract customers, and that someone will come after him if he loses money.
Zhou Xianheng was confident in his abilities.
He felt that even relying solely on the dishes, he could definitely attract a steady stream of customers.
He witnessed firsthand how successful Wei Man Zhai's business was.
When he arrived, his employer assigned him to learn from Manager Lu.
After staying at Weimanzhai for a few days, he became very confident.
He just didn't expect that the restaurant's reputation would indeed spread, and that it would spread on the very first day.
It's not the food that attracts customers, but the food itself.
The auspicious time has not yet arrived.
The firecrackers haven't gone off yet.
There were hardly any pedestrians outside the restaurant; it was exceptionally quiet.
Then, in this tranquility, a procession of ten carriages slowly approached.
As soon as the carriage stopped at the door.
The waiter hadn't even had a chance to go up and ask.
Then we heard the driver of the first carriage shout.
