After arranging Kaixiu, Su Nian took the prepared tofu and some other condiments and walked towards King Pull's palace.
Because Chu Beichen said that King Pull was not there, Su Nian guessed that other people in power wanted to take advantage of him.
The palace was simpler than Su Nian had imagined. There was a tall wall at the entrance of the courtyard, and uniformed guards were guarding it. Su Nian took out the token given by the middle-aged man yesterday. The guard let her in without saying much.
As soon as she entered the door, Su Nian turned right as the middle-aged man instructed and walked towards the end of the path. She was not so curious that she would run around the palace blindly, as it would put her reputation in jeopardy.
At the end of the path was a two-story building. The building was not big, with only about ten rooms. A middle-aged man was waiting at the door. When he saw Su Nian, a smile appeared on his face. "You are finally here, come in with me!"
The middle-aged man took Su Nian to the small kitchen and said, "Someone wants to try your cooking. You can cook it here!"
Su Nian nodded in agreement, but did not take any action. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man could only smile and said, "I'm here for no other reason than to see if you need any help so I can lend a hand!"
"I don't cook in front of outsiders," Su Nian said calmly.
The middle-aged man originally had the idea of stealing Su Nian's skills, but when he heard Su Nian's straightforwardness, he could only smile awkwardly and left.
Only when there was no one in the room did Su Nian start cooking. The four dishes she made were stuffed tofu, fried tofu, crispy tofu and steamed tofu.
After finishing the dishes, Su Nian handed them to the middle-aged man who came because of the aroma, and then said goodbye and left.
This time the delay was not long. Su Nian returned home before noon. She was confident in her cooking skills and knew that people who had eaten these four tofu dishes would definitely remember them.
Sure enough, the next day when she just arrived at the market, the middle-aged man came to her again. He gave Su Nian the money according to the price agreed upon last time and agreed with her to cook again the next day.
After a few visits, even the nearby merchants and regular customers knew that someone in the palace wanted Su Nian to cook.
The middle-aged man's action promoted Su Nian's business in another way, and more people came to buy tofu.
As a result, many people are jealous of her.
Some people came directly to ask to be his apprentice, saying that they wanted to learn the craft, while others asked Su Nian for the recipe in a roundabout way.
There were also some smart people who secretly observed what Su Nian bought home, hoping to deduce Su Nian's recipe for making tofu based on the raw materials.
In short, each of the Eight Immortals showed his ability when crossing the sea.
The process of making tofu is still very complicated. First, it has to be ground by stone to change its shape, then it has to be heated, and the most critical step is to add brine to make it. These three steps are indispensable.
Even if a smart person can figure out the first two steps, there is no way an outsider can figure out the brine preparation.
So those who were jealous of Su Nian worked in vain for a long time but still could not get in.
Some people also set their sights on Kaixiu.
Kaixiu's sister-in-law has said more than once that she also wants to go to Su Nian's house to help.
Kaixiu was quite honest and told Su Nian about this, but Su Nian was a very perceptive person. As soon as she heard Kaixiu's description, she realized that her sister-in-law probably had bad intentions.
Su Nian bluntly rejected Kaixiu and told her that in her current situation, hiring only one helper would be enough.
The honest Kaixiu thought about it and believed that Su Nian was telling the truth. She thought that she and Su Nian could handle the housework, so she refused her sister-in-law.
What Su Nian didn't expect was that Kaixiu's sister-in-law was a cruel and ruthless character. When she heard what her sister-in-law said, she didn't say anything, but she had evil ideas in her mind.
Before Kaixiu went to work, the sister-in-law gave Kaixiu a laxative, causing Kaixiu to vomit and have diarrhea and unable to get out of bed. She then pretended to help and ran to Su Nian's house.
Su Nianke didn't expect Kaixiu's sister-in-law to be such a character. She didn't even let Kaixiu's sister-in-law in. She just said that since Kaixiu didn't come, she didn't need to come today.
Seeing this vicious woman return disappointed, Su Nian thought about it and decided to tell Chu Beichen about this matter, hoping that Chu Beichen could remind Kaixiu's husband to let her take care of her sister.
Kaixiu's husband took this matter very seriously after he learned about it. He really hoped that his wife could have a long-term and stable job, so he went home and severely taught his sister a lesson, telling her not to have any ideas about Kaixiu again.
Through this incident, Kaixiu also understood that those vicious people would use any means to achieve their goals.
People in the market quickly imitated bean sprouts, but they had not yet figured out the trick, so the bean sprouts they grew were not as fresh and tender as Su Nian's, but they also had a strong impact on Su Nian's bean sprouts.
Su Nian didn't care, because bean sprouts were not technically difficult to make and it was only a matter of time before they were imitated.
During this period, Chu Beichen led everyone on duty very smoothly.
Seeing that the weather was getting hotter day by day, the animal skin robes on the bearded men could no longer be worn. Su Nian discussed with everyone and bought some fine linen from the street to prepare summer clothes for everyone.
The clothes that are popular in the South Bank now are somewhat similar to the clothes worn by cowboys when the West was developed.
Su Nian asked about the preferences of the bearded Chu Beichen and others, and went to the garment shop with everyone, taking the purchased fabrics.
There were ten of them in total, and each of them needed to make two sets of clothes, so the tailor was very polite to them, told them about the fashion trends, helped them decide on the clothing styles, and finally took their measurements to make the clothes.
A set of clothes, including underwear, shirt, trousers, and a jacket, not counting the fabric, costs twenty-five to thirty dinars in labor.
This price surprised Big Beard and the others. At this time, they also realized that life on the South Bank was indeed good, but every step required a lot of money.
After making new clothes, everyone looked refreshed and felt a lot more energetic.
After a period of adjustment, Big Beard and others have begun to actively learn cultural knowledge. Whenever they have free time, they will take the newspaper to ask Chu Beichen about the words on it.
Seeing that these people were so motivated, Chu Beichen simply took the time to give them unified lessons every day, saying four or five words every day.
For the job of patrol, it is necessary to master certain cultural knowledge.
Otherwise, if someone calls the police, they won’t be able to tell the road section or the name of the place where the accident happened, which will be difficult to deal with.
