The yam chips taste the same as before... a soft and firm texture.
But the taste was quite different. Madam Xiao chewed on the yam slice in her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Having never tasted the effects of technology and grueling cooking, Mrs. Xiao's expression instantly changed upon being bombarded with MSG and chicken essence.
She didn't say anything, picked up the serving chopsticks, took another slice of yam, put it on her plate, and continued to enjoy it.
"Mother, how are you?"
Xiao Yu asked with a smile.
Actually, there was no need to ask anymore; Madam Xiao's expression and actions had already said it all, but Xiao Yu just wanted to show off a little.
"It's delicious, incredibly flavorful... Shi Lang, did you hire a new chef?" Madam Xiao asked curiously.
"no."
Xiao Yu shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "This dish was cooked by Uncle Zhang. Mother, sisters-in-law, aunts, you should all try it too. Every dish here is different from before."
"Yeah?"
After witnessing Madam Xiao's performance, the women were eager to try it themselves.
So, I quickly took a sip.
"Wife, you should eat with us too."
Xiao Yu picked up a piece of boneless fish for Shen Youyu and said.
"Thank you, Juro."
Shen Youyu was not used to being treated like this by Xiao Yu in front of Madam Xiao and the others. She felt both happy and shy, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and their appetites were much larger than usual.
Xiao Guoguo, in particular, ate three bowls of rice in a row, her little belly round and full, and couldn't help but ask, "Shilang, what method did you use to make the food taste so good?"
Xiao Yu was very easygoing, and Xiao Guoguo didn't call him "Uncle" either; instead, he called him "Shi Lang" along with everyone else.
"I invented two seasonings, one is chicken bouillon and the other is MSG."
Xiao Yu took two small jars out of his pocket and placed them on the table.
Overnight, Xiao Yu extracted two large jars of MSG and two small jars of chicken essence. He left the two large jars in the kitchen and carried the two small jars with him.
These two small jars aren't very big; if a family of four uses them, it'll only last about a month.
"This thing is amazing."
Madam Xiao and the others were extremely surprised and asked curiously, "Shi Lang, did you really invent this?"
"Um."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Seeing how satisfied everyone is with the food, I think everything is fine... I will write down the invention methods of chicken essence and MSG, and have Xiao Zhan choose a few trustworthy brothers to produce them on a small scale first, and sell the chicken essence and MSG to restaurants and eateries in the capital!"
"Chicken essence and MSG are certainly good, but ordinary people may not buy them."
"So, we need to sell it to restaurants and eateries in the capital first. Once everyone is curious about why the food in those restaurants and eateries is so delicious, and once they know about the existence of chicken essence and MSG, I'll have Xiao Zhan increase manpower for large-scale production..."
"The initial goal is to let everyone know about the existence and use of chicken essence and MSG, and then use scarcity marketing. Once everyone wants to buy them, I will start mass production!"
Xiao Yu shared his thoughts.
The women of the Xiao family listened and their beautiful eyes lit up; they all thought Xiao Yu's idea was feasible.
"Shiro, what is scarcity marketing? Is it making people go hungry first, and then buying things?"
Xiao Guoguo touched her bulging little belly and asked in a childish voice.
The others were also hearing this word for the first time, and they all looked at Xiao Yu curiously, although they could vaguely guess what the word meant.
"It's about creating a sense of scarcity to stimulate customers to buy our products. I call this method 'hunger marketing'," Xiao Yu explained patiently.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that Xiao Yu's method was feasible.
They were also very curious: when did their Shiro become so powerful?
He writes poetry, invented chicken essence and MSG, and now he has a business mind, inventing the term "hunger marketing".
"It must be Shilang's father and brothers who are protecting him. They couldn't bear to see the Xiao Prince's Mansion decline, so they helped Shilang awaken his spiritual intelligence!"
Madam Xiao and the other women all shared this view.
Beside her, Shen Youyu looked at Xiao Yu with utter admiration, her beautiful peach blossom eyes almost dripping with tears.
She thought she had married a fool, but she ended up finding a treasure, and a rare treasure at that!
"If chicken essence and MSG sell well, our Xiao Prince's Mansion will have no worries about money."
After resolving the issue of supporting his family's soldiers, Xiao Yu was in a very good mood and said, "There are still some ingredients in the kitchen. I'll make some chicken bouillon and MSG and send them over to Mulan, Aoxue, and Xianxian."
Good things should be shared. All four ladies hold equal importance in my heart, and I cannot favor one over the other.
"this……"
Madam Xiao's expression stiffened.
After several women said they wanted to marry Xiao Yu, only Liu Aoxue came once, but she didn't stay long.
Jin Mulan and Murong Xian hadn't come yet, and although they might be busy with their own things... Madam Xiao still felt there wasn't much hope.
Xiao Yu makes chicken bouillon and MSG, then goes to find them. Won't he get a cold shoulder?
"Mother, go with Shiro."
The eldest sister-in-law understood Madam Xiao's thoughts and comforted her from the side: "Jin Mulan, Liu Aoxue, and Murong Xian are all women who value loyalty and righteousness, unlike Chu Tianjiao! Just assume that they acted impulsively back then and have now changed their minds and don't want to marry Shilang, but they won't humiliate Shilang. At most, they will politely refuse."
"Then let Juro go."
Madam Xiao was relieved.
We arrived at the kitchen.
Xiao Yu started working again.
"Mulan, Aoxue, Xianxian... give each of them a can of chicken bouillon and MSG. Not too much, we'll give them bigger cans when we start mass production!"
"Get another one for that beautiful lady who gave me the Dragon Sword. Maybe if she's in a good mood, she'll give me an even better prize!"
Xiao Yu thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction, feeling that he had a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to fulfill.
Another busy day.
...
the next day.
Xiao Yu decided to go to the Martial Academy first to find Liu Aoxue.
"There is only one Grandmaster in the capital, Liu Jingtao... and I am also a Grandmaster. I wonder how I compare to Liu Jingtao?"
After leaving the Xiao Prince's residence, Xiao Yu muttered to himself.
When Liu Aoxue visited Xiao Wang's mansion last time, she mentioned that Liu Jingtao opposed the marriage... Indeed, any normal parent would object; who would want their daughter to marry a mentally challenged person?
"I estimate that Jin Mulan and Murong Xian are in the same situation."
"Jin Mulan and Liu Aoxue have strong personalities; they both have their own thoughts and opinions... Murong Xian looks cute and adorable, seemingly weak, but she must be very well-loved."
"So, whether I can successfully marry them or not, I have to pass the test of my fathers-in-law!"
As Xiao Yu analyzed his current situation, he couldn't help but feel some pressure... Really, my wives and I are loving and affectionate, a perfect match made in heaven, so who are you to object?!
