Her skills were not copied from Yan Xiaoman, but were the accumulation of several lifetimes. She didn't even tamper with Yan Xiaoman's things. Now Yan Xiaoman was like this simply because her skills were not as good as others.
If Yan Xiaoman was smart enough, he would definitely know that Yun Yuan was a time traveler, and he would know more than he did.
But she had hit a dead end. Although she suspected that Yun Yuan was a time traveler, she easily dispelled her doubts and concluded that Yun Yuan had stolen her formula and was just lucky enough to produce better results than hers.
When Ji Shen came over, Yan Xiaoman was squatting on the ground, crying and scolding Yun Yuan, but both Yun Yuan and passers-by looked at her with contempt.
"Jishen has arrived just in time. Your wife has gone insane. Take her home quickly."
Seeing Yan Xiaoman lose her composure in public, Ji Shen felt a burning sensation on his face. Seeing Mu Xingzhi there, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's going on?"
Mu Xingzhi had a deadpan expression. "Your wife is accusing Yun Yuan of stealing her wine recipe. True gold fears no fire. If you have any doubts, just go to the Huai Shang Restaurant and buy a pot of wine and compare it with your wife's."
"That's not what I meant." Ji Shen lowered his head: "I'll take her away now."
Ji Shen bent down and stretched out his hand, wanting to pick up Yan Xiaoman, but was unexpectedly slapped by Yan Xiaoman.
"waste!"
Ji Shen touched the beaten side of his face in disbelief: "You hit me?"
"So what if I hit you? When your woman is bullied, you just keep your head down like a coward, not even daring to ask a question. Is this how you defend me? Where's your backbone?"
Ji Shen was slapped in the face by a woman, and still felt the strange looks of everyone in public. He was furious and almost lost his mind.
"You asked me about my integrity. Well, I'll tell you, my integrity is to divorce you!"
Yan Xiaoman was furious: "Ji Shen, can you say that again?!"
Ji Shen was still angry: "I said I want to divorce you!"
"How dare you! When I married you, you had nothing but a room. If I hadn't worked so hard to support your studies, do you think you could be living so comfortably now?"
The crowd was silent for a moment.
"Oh~ So Ji Xiucai is supported by women."
"How can a man of integrity rely on his wife for support? He's a scholar, but he's really useless. Aren't you ashamed of spending your wife's money?"
"No wonder his wife is so tough, she's just a gigolo, tsk tsk."
Ji Shen's face turned pale and blue after being told what was said. He felt so ashamed that he didn't say anything about divorcing his wife. He just pulled Yan Xiaoman up forcefully.
"Go away, don't embarrass yourself here."
"You call me a disgrace? I'm defending our rights. Not only do you not help me, but you also call me a disgrace?" Yan Xiaoman was completely furious: "Ji Shen, I'm telling you, we're done. Now it's not you who wants to divorce me, but I want to divorce you."
Yun Yuan: "Wow!"
Passerby: “Wow (?◇?)”
Ji Shen didn't want to be treated like a monkey: "Come back with me first, we can talk about it when we get home if there's anything."
"I won't." Yan Xiaoman shook his hand away. "You can neither give me money to spend nor defend me when I'm bullied. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. I won't be going back to your house."
She left with a sad face, and before leaving, she did not forget to glare at Yun Yuan.
"Divorce can't discourage me, it will only make me stronger. Just wait, I'll show you what a heroine is!"
Yun Yuan: “…” Could there be some big deal?
Mu Xingzhi's eyes were deep, and he winked at the person beside him, indicating that from now on, Yan Xiaoman's every move would be monitored.
Yan Xiaoman suffered two setbacks and tried hard to make a name for herself. However, with Yun Yuan's wine as a good example, she could only sell her wine at a low price. She used the money she earned to rent a shop in the downtown area, which she called "Xiaoman Malatang".
In the first few days after opening, many people came to Yan Xiaoman's store to try it out because of the novelty.
However, the good times did not last long. On the fourth day, Yan Xiaoman suddenly discovered that a hot pot restaurant had opened across the street.
To make matters worse, the owner of this store was an experienced chef, and the food he made tasted much better than hers. As expected, all the customers ran to the store across the street.
Yan Xiaoman: “…”
She didn't believe in evil and decided to open a barbecue restaurant.
Since meat and spices are relatively expensive in this dimension, in order to avoid losses, she had to set the barbecue prices relatively high, which made it prohibitive for ordinary people.
Those who could afford it were more inclined to choose to dine in large restaurants with good environments rather than go to her small shop. As a result, her barbecue business failed again.
Just when Yan Xiaoman was feeling confused and frustrated, she discovered that Huaishang Restaurant had also launched a barbecue service. Not only that, they also provided delicacies such as milk tea and spicy hot pot, attracting a large number of customers to come and taste it every day.
Yan Xiaoman was going crazy, and at the same time, he was confused: why was it that every time I came up with a good idea, it was easily stolen by others? And these imitators made the taste even better than my own.
As for milk tea, she remembered that she had only mentioned it to Yun Yuan.
So she went to find Yun Yuan again, and Yun Yuan admitted it generously.
"Thank you for your gift. The ladies of Qingcheng all like the milk tea I make. I make quite a bit of money every day from it. If you have any other ideas for making money, please share them with me."
No matter how angry Yan Xiaoman was, there was nothing she could do. She could only think of other ways to make money. At the same time, she hated Yun Yuan even more.
She complained to the beggars in the alley that they took her money but did not do anything for her, and wanted to ask them how things were going, but she found that she could not find them.
Yan Xiaoman was angry. She had originally planned to help them, but now it seemed that she had made a mistake. They were not worthy of her pity at all.
Little did she know that these beggars were dealt with for passing messages to her.
With the help of several recipes provided by Yun Yuan, the business of Huai Shang Restaurant became more and more prosperous. It soon opened its first branch, followed by the second and third branches, and each one was very popular.
Compared with traditional dishes, customers are more enthusiastic about malatang and barbecue, so Huai Shang Restaurant has specially opened shops such as barbecue house, malatang and milk tea shop.
These shops spread out from Qingcheng to the surrounding areas, gradually forming a huge business network. Over time, Huai merchants have become a well-known brand that is loved by people.
One day, Yun Jin and He Shi, along with their four children, knocked on Yun Yuan's door.
