Hu Jinxiu, feeling extremely embarrassed, went to the next table.
The steward was furious: Although the Hu family wasn't extremely wealthy, they were still quite rich in the area, and these two were showing such disrespect!
The food at Linjianglou Restaurant isn't particularly outstanding, but it does have its own local flavor.
One dish in particular is potato porridge, which is said to be made by boiling potatoes until they become sticky and mushy, then adding fermented vegetable broth, chili oil, chopped green onions, cilantro, and other ingredients, and then mixing it all together before eating.
This was Shen Qingyu's first time eating this, and she thought it tasted very good.
Seeing that she liked it, Qi Yunxiao ordered another serving for her.
Upon seeing the second serving, Shen Qingyu exclaimed in surprise, "I can't eat two servings."
Qi Yunxiao smiled and said, "If you can't finish it, just give it to me."
Hu Jinxiu found the sight too irritating to watch in front of so many people, and she got up to leave.
Then a scream was heard: "Ah!"
The waiter, carrying a bowl of cold spicy pork tripe salad, bumped right into Hu Jinxiu.
Hu Jinxiu was instantly drenched!
"You! You..." Hu Jinxiu was both ashamed and angry, so angry that she trembled all over and her face turned red.
The waiter was terrified: "Oh dear! I'm so sorry, so sorry..."
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao glanced at it and were also taken aback.
What a coincidence!
Even the innkeeper hurriedly came over to apologize and led Hu Jinxiu to a private room to tidy up.
The steward carried a bundle containing clothes.
Hu Jinxiu changed her clothes and wiped the soup off her hands, but she couldn't get rid of the smell of chili oil.
The shopkeeper called a waitress to bring in a basin of water and a piece of pig pancreas: "Would you like to wash with this, esteemed guest?"
Seeing the pig pancreas, Hu Jinxiu couldn't help but think of the small bar of soap that Shen Qingyu had given her.
She put down the pig pancreas she was holding, rummaged through her bundle and found the bar of soap, then washed herself with the water in the basin.
Once your hands are thoroughly washed, the smell of chili oil is completely gone.
The bar of soap, however, looked brand new, with no obvious reduction or deformation!
This...this cleaning power is so much better than pig pancreas, isn't it?
Moreover, judging by its durability, it's far superior to pig pancreas!
Hu Jinxiu examined the soap in her hand, her eyes gradually becoming heated.
The waitress who brought in the basin of water also found it fascinating.
"This stuff lathers up when you scrub it, and it cleans so well... It's much better than pig pancreas! What is this thing?"
Hu Jinxiu ignored the waitress, thought for a moment, and then decisively left the mess in the private room to the female manager before running out to find Shen Qingyu.
Outside, the waiters had already quickly cleaned up the spilled soup on the floor, and the restaurant remained noisy, as if nothing had happened.
Hu Jinxiu hurried over to Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao's table: "Young Master Xiao, is this soap your business? May I ask how much it costs?"
Qi Yunxiao glanced at Hu Jinxiu, a smile playing on his lips, and pointed at his wife: "This is my wife's business, it has nothing to do with me."
Hu Jinxiu: "!!!"
She absolutely refused to believe that this was Shen Qingyu's business.
However, since Qi Yunxiao said so, she had to pretend to believe him even if she didn't.
So she turned her gaze to Shen Qingyu's face: "Young Madam, how much is this soap? My family's music shop wants to stock it up, and if the price is right, I'm planning to buy more..."
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "Master Hu has probably forgotten that just this morning, you were worried that I was trying to curry favor with you by giving you soap, and you even said that you wouldn't buy my soap for a year."
Hu Jinxiu: "..."
“That was my shortsightedness. I apologize to the Crown Prince’s wife here, but since we’re in business, there’s no need to turn down money. Look at this soap…”
Shen Qingyu's smile faded: "But I promised back then that this soap wouldn't be sold in Jialefang for a year."
Hu Jinxiu was stunned: What? She's serious?
"My family's Lefang has dozens of stores across the country. If we were to buy soap, it wouldn't be just a few thousand yuan, it would be tens of thousands of yuan!"
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "What Mr. Hu said is right, but my soaps sell well, and I don't want to go back on my word."
"I'm a man of my word."
They actually refused!
There was no room for maneuver.
Hu Jinxiu felt a lump in her throat, unable to breathe properly, and almost suffocated herself!
She looked at Qi Yunxiao: "Young Master, we've known each other for many years..."
Qi Yunxiao was so frightened that he shook his hands repeatedly: "I said, this deal is not mine, it's my wife's. I will not interfere with whatever she decides."
Shen Qingyu gave him a look: Well done! Young man!
Qi Yunxiao raised an eyebrow: You are my wife, of course I'm on your side.
Hu Jinxiu: "!!!"
She glanced at the couple with longing in their eyes and finally realized that they wouldn't be discussing this business with her today.
Never mind, let's talk about it another time.
She left dejectedly.
After finishing their meal, Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao were about to leave when the restaurant manager came over and said, "Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao looked at the middle-aged shopkeeper with curiosity.
The shopkeeper smiled broadly: "I am Wei Jiawang, the owner of Linjiang Tower. I just saw that distinguished guest take out... soap. The distinguished guest said it's from your business? May I ask where you buy this? How much does it cost?"
Shen Qingyu raised an eyebrow at Wei Dongjia: "I wonder how much this boss wants?"
