Chapter 84: Manxiangyuan knows, Xiao Ying is exposed
Ruyi Restaurant served dishes very quickly, and there was a maid standing by to serve, but Xiao Ying and the others were not used to it, so they asked her to leave.
Today's dishes are all added with spicy sesame oil or spicy sauce, and I have to say, they taste really good.
“It’s delicious, but I don’t think it’s worth the price.”
Chen Xinghai shook his head, somewhat unable to understand the thoughts of these rich people.
Chen Xinghe said calmly, "People who come here to eat eat for status. If you really say that the food tastes better than other restaurants, it's not entirely true."
"Of course, the taste will definitely be greatly improved after adding our spicy sesame oil and spicy sauce."
Chen Xingyun and the others nodded in agreement. The taste was very different with or without their seasonings.
It was already late noon when they finished their meal. To their surprise, when they went downstairs, they found that the huge Ruyi Restaurant was almost packed!
The three-story restaurant was completely full, and there were even quite a few people standing outside in line. It was incredibly popular.
Shopkeeper Yun's face was about to burst with laughter, and when he saw Xiao Ying and the others, he immediately came over to greet them.
"Madam Xiao, have you enjoyed your meal? I apologize for not being able to entertain you personally."
"Shopkeeper Yun is too polite. I should thank you for your hospitality. The food at Ruyi Restaurant is indeed well-deserved."
"Isn't that all thanks to Madam Xiao? Your seasoning is truly amazing. Our Ruyi Restaurant has never had as much business as today, except for the day it opened!"
"Congratulations, Shopkeeper Yun." Xiao Ying congratulated him with a smile, adding, "This is only the first day. After today's promotion, business will probably be even better tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Yun thought so too, so he smiled and nodded.
"Madam Xiao, are you going back?"
"I'm planning to buy a carriage so I can deliver the goods to you this afternoon."
She had wanted to buy a carriage for a long time, but unfortunately, she didn't have enough money and there was no carriage in the town.
Now that we have money and opportunity, of course we can’t miss it.
In the future, I will have to come to the county town frequently to deliver goods. An extra horse-drawn carriage can carry hundreds of more pounds, and the horse-drawn carriage has a shed, which is much safer than an ox-drawn cart.
"Then I wish Madam Xiao to buy a satisfactory carriage. The nearest carriage house is on Fuhua Road and can be reached in a quarter of an hour."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yun, for letting us know. We'll leave for now."
"Take care, Madam Xiao. If you have anything else in the future, I hope we can continue to cooperate."
"No problem."
Xiao Ying does have a lot to offer, but whether or not to continue cooperating with Ruyi Restaurant depends on their performance. He hopes that they are not the second Manxiangyuan.
Speaking of Manxiangyuan, things have been pretty bad lately.
Ever since she burned down Manxiang Garden in Hongye Town and a murder occurred that day, Zhou Tianci was the first to return to the county town in disgrace.
Fortunately, he left first, otherwise he would have been arrested and taken to the yamen that day.
This incident naturally alarmed his parents. His father Zhou Wang was so angry that his face turned blue. He scolded him for a quarter of an hour and made him kneel for two hours as punishment.
Zhou Tianci knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to disobey, but he hated Xiao Ying in his heart.
In the past few days, Zhou Wang has been thinking about how to get the spicy sesame oil. Before he could figure it out, his subordinates suddenly came to report that Ruyi Restaurant had launched a new dish today and the business was booming.
After asking around, he found out that they had launched something called spicy sesame oil and spicy sesame sauce. Zhou Wang was so angry that he almost fainted.
The thing he hadn't even gotten yet was already taken by Ruyi Restaurant!
What’s even more hateful is that he can’t do anything about Ruyi Restaurant.
Over the years, Ruyi Restaurant has always been slightly superior to Manxiang Garden, mainly because the other party has a mysterious origin and a strong background, and is not someone he can afford to provoke.
Now that the spicy sesame oil has entered Ruyi Restaurant, it is impossible to get it again.
He couldn't help but feel a huge sense of crisis, thinking that from today on, Manxiangyuan would be left far behind by Ruyi Restaurant.
At the same time, Zhou Tianci also heard about this and was so angry that he smashed things in the house.
That damn woman actually expanded her business to the county town and even established a relationship with Ruyi Restaurant.
He must avenge this grudge!
"Someone, go get Yu Qian."
Zhou Tianci's face turned pale, and he suddenly remembered that he didn't know what the woman looked like, but Yu Qian must know her.
After that incident, Yu Qian was driven out of Manxiang Garden and he hadn't seen him for several days.
Therefore, after nearly half an hour, the person was brought here.
Yu Qian had saved some money over the years, so even though he was driven away, he was still able to live a decent life.
Standing in front of Zhou Tianci, he lowered his head humbly.
"Have you heard about the Ruyi Restaurant incident? That woman even sold spicy sesame oil in the county town."
Zhou Tianci stared at him coldly.
Yu Qian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He never expected that Xiao Ying was so ambitious.
Having a connection with Ruyi Restaurant is like climbing a ladder to heaven. No wonder the young master is so angry.
"Young Master's intention is..."
"Find that woman. She's probably still in the county. If you can handle this, you might be able to return to Manxiang Garden and continue your work."
Yu Qian's eyes lit up. He was the shopkeeper of Manxiang Garden in Hongye Town, and he earned three taels of silver every month, which was more than forty taels a year.
Naturally, he didn't want to give up such a good job.
"Please rest assured, Young Master, I will find her as soon as possible."
Ruyi Restaurant just served new dishes at noon today, which means that Xiao Ying probably came to the county town this morning, and no later than yesterday at the earliest.
With the background of Ruyi Restaurant, they will definitely sign an order with her.
In other words, she would often come to the county town to deliver goods in the future, and as long as he waited near Ruyi Restaurant, he would definitely wait for her.
Thinking of this, Yu Qian became more confident and left quickly with full of anticipation.
Coincidentally, the way to Ruyi Restaurant happens to pass Fuhua Road.
Yu Qian was looking around for someone, and he saw several familiar figures in the carriage and horse shop.
It was Xiao Ying and her children who were actually buying a carriage.
Yu Qian was overjoyed. It was really true that after searching for a long time, he finally found it without any effort.
He immediately hid in the corner and watched secretly, but did not go back to tell Zhou Tianci immediately. After all, if he went back and forth like this, the other party might leave.
He had to find out where the other party was staying. Of course, if the other party was going to leave the county today, he would have to report it immediately.
In the carriage shop, Xiao Ying and several children were choosing a carriage. They had already chosen a fat and strong horse and spent more than fifty taels of silver.
The carriages were not cheap either. The one they liked cost more than twenty taels, but the workmanship was indeed exquisite and sturdy, and the carriage was large enough to seat seven or eight people.
In the end, the two were sold for eighty taels, and the carriage and horse shop also gave them a horse whip.
Chen Xinghai was still learning how to drive the cart. Xiao Ying thought that they must all learn it after they returned.
They all know how to drive an ox cart, so driving a horse carriage shouldn't be too difficult.
