Chapter 138 Yipinxiang
Spring comes early in Raoying County. It is warm and comfortable as soon as spring begins.
Lu Shiyan and Lu Shili both came back at the right time today, and since there were many people at home, Su simply had the table moved to the yard for dinner.
The evening breeze blew gently, and the fragrance drifted through the courtyard and out. People on the street smelled the aroma and stopped to ask, "Whose dinner is this? Why does it smell so good?"
"It seems to have come from the cake shop in front?"
"What new food has the cake shop made?"
…
People poured into the cake shop. Li Xiangchen was guarding the shop at the moment. He had almost sold out the items on the shelves, and it was getting late. He was about to close the shop, but he didn't expect so many people to suddenly come in.
People came in and asked if the shop had any new products. Li Xiangchen was a little amused and said, "That's the food our boss eats himself. It's not a new product."
Unexpectedly, everyone was unwilling to leave and kept asking what kind of food the owner made, why it smelled so good, and whether the shop would sell it in the future.
Li Xiangchen vaguely knew that the boss had bought a new shop and hired people to renovate it, but he didn't dare to tell anyone, so he could only go find Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang naturally would not miss this good opportunity to advertise, so she immediately told everyone the location and name of the new restaurant, as well as the fresh dishes that would be sold in the future, and asked everyone to go and support it when the time comes.
"Madam boss, when will your Yipinxiang open for business?" People were getting impatient after smelling the fragrance.
"That's right! I'll be the first to support you when you open your business!" said a regular customer of Yigaosu Restaurant, swallowing his saliva.
"There are still ten days left, so we need to prepare!" Jiang Tangtang said, and asked Li Xiangchen to take an oil paper bag and put some bread that could not be kept for a long time into it for everyone to express his gratitude.
Everyone present praised Jiang Tangtang for his openness and business acumen, and said they would definitely come to support him and say auspicious words.
Wang Mingfeng hooked her neck and looked at the people gathered in the Lu family's shop, a flash of fierce hatred in her eyes.
Since the pastry shop opened, her pastry shop's business has declined significantly.
But in the past, although it was not as good as the Gaosu Restaurant, her cakes were sold cheaper, so there were always people who wanted to save money and would buy her cakes instead of the Gaosu Restaurant.
But ever since she said Jiang Tangtang was a vixen last time and the two families had a complete falling out, her shop has had no business at all.
Those who originally wanted to buy from her because of her cheap prices no longer bought from her. When they saw her soliciting customers, they spat at her and said that she had bad character.
Then take a detour to buy pastries from another store.
Now the whole family blames her, blaming her for provoking the Lu family and ruining the family business!
Thinking of her husband's cold face, her mother-in-law's difficulties with her, and her son and daughter's faintly blaming eyes, she hated the Lu family.
She clenched her fists, turned around and went to find Zhou Jiuniang.
The two had originally fallen out, but recently their relationship got back on track due to the same experience.
"I heard that vixen is going to open another shop!" Wang Mingfeng pouted and raised her chin towards the street. "It's the same Yipinxiang that's been making so much noise."
Zhou Jiuniang grinned and said, "God is so unfair. People like us can open shops one after another. But good and honest people like us have no business in our shop."
The two of them exchanged insults against the Lu family, as they often did. Wang Mingfeng suddenly asked, "Are you just going to let it go? That vixen's words not only got you beaten by a man, but also made you lose face in the academy."
Thinking about her brother, because of the ridicule he received, Zhou Jiuniang became more and more angry and heartbroken, "Of course I can't just let it go like this!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Mingfeng hurriedly leaned over to her ear and whispered something.
"Will this work?" Zhou Jiuniang hesitated.
Wang Mingfeng said, "Why not? What do people who run food shops fear the most? Isn't it that the food is not clean? If their reputation is ruined and they can't keep their shop in the county town, they might even beg your brother to marry their daughter!"
Zhou Jiuniang felt relieved whenever she thought about that situation. Without hesitation, she nodded and said, "Let's do as you say."

The dishes Jiang Tangtang cooked tonight not only attracted many passers-by to come and ask for them due to their aroma, but also received unanimous approval from the entire Lu family for their taste.
Lu Shili ate until sweat broke out on his forehead, grinning and saying, "Home-cooked food is still more delicious!"
Although Lu Shiyan didn't say anything, there was joy between his brows, and he looked at Jiang Tangtang from time to time.
Jiang Tangtang's heart beat faster when she met Lu Shiyan's gaze.
She forced herself to remain calm as she discussed business matters with Lu Shili. "I placed an order with some fishermen today, but it's just a verbal agreement, so it's not a safe one. Come back and rest for a couple of days. If you have time, go to the beach and secure a stable supply."
Lu Shili nodded, indicating that he would take care of the matter. After that, the two talked about some trivial matters in the shop.
After the meal, the matter was almost settled.
Su urged Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan to go back to their rooms and rest early, and she took care of the children herself.
Now that there are maids at home and the cleaning of dishes is done by the servants, Jiang Tangtang didn't worry about it and went back to the house.
Lu Shiyan was in the room, so it was inconvenient for her to go into the space to make scented candles. She had just finished her meal and couldn't sleep, so she simply took out a pen and paper and sat at the table to write the menu for Yipinxiang.
The pen he made from sharpened bamboo broke last time, so Jiang Tangtang didn't try again. He thought that after traveling to this era, he should learn to adapt to it, so he took a brush to write.
When Lu Shiyan came in, he saw her writing with a brush. However, the words she wrote were really unbearable to read.
It was completely different from what she wrote with the branches.
Lu Shiyan was silent for a moment about her abnormal behavior and didn't think about it anymore.
He walked over, held her hand gently, and said, "Hold the pen like this."
Jiang Tangtang smelled the light scent on his body, her heart beating like a drum. She felt like she had been drinking alcohol, her head was dizzy, and her hands were getting weaker and weaker.
The arsonist was still unaware of this and whispered in her ear, "You need to be steady, otherwise the words you write will appear weak."
Jiang Tangtang: “…”
If you keep teaching like this, her head will be turned into a mess and she won't be able to hold the pen steadily.
While Jiang Tangtang was complaining, Lu Shiyan said, "Don't be distracted!"
Jiang Tangtang felt like she was almost out of breath. "Don't you need to go out and watch again tonight?"
"Do you really want me to stay?" Lu Shiyan finally let go of her hand, but his peach blossom eyes looked at Jiang Tangtang with a smile.
Jiang Tangtang: “…” Boss, how can you tell that I really want you to stay?
