He said coldly to Yi'an, "Princess Yi'an, His Highness the Crown Prince is entertaining distinguished guests. If you don't have an invitation, please go and queue outside! Jiang's Private Kitchen only recognizes invitations, not people!"
When has Yi'an ever been treated like this? She has already lost face in front of Jiang Shan once, and this time she is determined to get her revenge!
She, a princess, refused to believe that she couldn't outdo a country bumpkin!
“Go and tell Grandmother Li Yang that Yi An…”
"Alright, enough nonsense, I'll make you give up on that idea!"
Before Yi'an could finish speaking, Jiang Shan turned around and strode over, standing in front of her with his hands behind his back. He said calmly, "You just said that you can come and go freely without a pass, right? Look up!"
Yi'an's eyes widened in anger, but she still couldn't help but look up.
There was nothing there except for the sign above the door.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" a noblewoman behind Yi'an couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Shan reached out and poked the sign above the door, smiling as he said, "Still don't understand? It's my shop, I can come in however I want! In other words, I only recognize the sign, not the person. I set the rules, do you have a problem with that?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Jiang's Private Kitchen be run by you!" Yi'an finally realized what was happening, and her expression gradually darkened.
"If the owner of Jiang's Private Kitchen isn't surnamed Jiang, is he surnamed Li? If it's not mine, is it yours? Princess Yi'an, listen up! Any shop in the capital that bears the name Jiang belongs to me! I suppose none of you want to patronize it. I'll tell the staff to be careful and not break any taboos!"
Jiang Shan's words are easy to understand, but from now on, any shop owned by the Jiang family will not sell anything to you!
A group of noble ladies were shocked to discover that this country woman, who had nothing to offer except her looks, was actually the owner of Jiang's Private Kitchen!
He's still the owner of Jiang's Cake Shop!
Yi'an's face had been trampled on and rubbed into the ground. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You're just a lowly merchant. What's there to be proud of? Let's go to Juxian Manor!"
Juxianzhuang, which is usually packed with customers, is unusually quiet at this moment.
The shopkeeper leaned leisurely against the door, humming a little tune. When he saw a group of noble ladies, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
The noble ladies followed behind Yi'an, whose face was ashen, not daring to breathe loudly.
Yi'an was an old acquaintance of Juxian Manor. The manager greeted her with a smile, "Princess Yi'an, what brings you here?"
Yi'an said coldly and angrily, "Bring out all the best dishes from your restaurant! Seafood: ghost crabs the size of washbasins! Lobsters as thick as an arm! Drunken shrimp the size of bowls!"
After talking for a while, seeing that the shopkeeper hadn't followed, Yi'an turned around and looked back.
The shopkeeper, with a bitter face, said meaningfully, "Princess Yi'an, are you making fun of me? Our shop doesn't have that much seafood; we can't order it! The earliest we can get it is another half month!"
Yi'an said angrily, "Useless thing! Isn't this the most famous restaurant in the capital? You can't even book seafood?"
The shopkeeper's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "What can we do? Jiang's Private Kitchen has almost monopolized all the seafood in the capital. Chengbang Logistics has also booked up nearly half a month's worth of seafood. They acted first and gained the upper hand. What can we do? We can only wait in line!"
Yi'an asked incredulously, "Juxian Manor has been operating in the capital for so long, yet it can't compete with a newly opened restaurant? Is your owner stupid?"
The innkeeper was displeased and said with a stern face, "Princess, the owner of Juxianlou is also the owner of Jiang's Private Kitchen. We're all one family, so why be so formal!"
Yi'an was speechless for a long time, pointing at the shopkeeper.
She almost forgot that Li Minghe was also a cunning fox, and he was just like that Jiang guy!
"Let's go, we're not eating!"
Yi'an turned and left angrily.
After leaving Juxian Manor, the noble ladies stopped and refused to leave.
When Yi'an turned around, a noblewoman said cautiously, "Princess, I... I just remembered, I have to go to the jewelry store today to get jewelry for my mother, so I can't accompany you!"
Another noblewoman smiled and said, "Princess, I also made an appointment with my cousin to go admire the lotus flowers..."
“Princess, I’m going home too. My mother said…”
"Get out! All of you, get out!" Yi'an roared in fury, grabbing her skirt and storming off.
The ladies exchanged glances, then turned and walked away in another direction, their minds tacitly understanding each other.
"We can't underestimate that Jiang family! If we offend her, we'll probably have a hard time in the future!"
"That's right! Princess Yi'an can't stay in the capital forever; she'll always have to go back. But that Jiang woman is the woman that the top scholar from the Fu family is in love with. Her maternal grandfather is Grand Tutor Cheng; we can't afford to offend him!"
"Oh dear, my grandfather's birthday is next month, and I was planning to order a cake from Jiang's Cake Shop. What am I going to do? Waaah, I shouldn't have come out with Princess Yi'an today!"
"Don't worry, I've heard my mother mention that she has some connection with Grand Tutor Cheng's daughter. I'll go back and have my mother put in a good word for her with that lady!"
"Mmm, Yanling, you're so kind!"
Jiang Shan was unaware of the changes happening outside. She sat with Jiao's mother and her group of old friends for a while before Fu Qiyuan called her away.
"I shouldn't meet with men outside the family. What are you taking me to do?" Jiang Shan asked, puzzled.
Fu Qiyuan chuckled, rubbing his forehead, "Are you sure you won't see any men outside the family from now on?"
Jiang Shan rarely tried to emulate the refined manners of ancient noble ladies, but Fu Qiyuan's words exposed her flaws.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Let's go!"
Grand Tutor Cheng and Fu Qiyuan personally led Jiang Shan from upstairs to downstairs, having a simple yet straightforward meeting with the powerful and influential figures in the capital.
Jiang Shan is the owner of Jiang's Private Kitchen and Jiang's Cake Shop.
Jiang Shan is the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Cheng.
Jiang Shan is Fu Qiyuan's fiancée.
Whether they were true royalty or high-ranking officials, everyone present scrutinized the young and beautiful girl with a critical eye.
Most people gave Cheng Taishi and Fu Qiyuan face, praising them to varying degrees for being beautiful or capable.
Only the women in the inner quarters of the house were extremely interested in the affairs of the country.
The people in the Ministry of Revenue who truly understood the situation saw the country as a hungry wolf eyeing a fat cat, their eyes gleaming with greed.
When Jiang Shan stood in the lobby on the first floor and said, "Chengbang Logistics will be seeking investors," the lobby instantly erupted in excitement!
The servants and attendants of the noble families were not to be trifled with; upon hearing the news, they would inevitably go in and inform their masters.
Which noble family in the capital doesn't have its own shops and business?
Although the reputation of "City Logistics" has only just begun to spread, it has already reached all over the capital. Anyone with a bit of business sense is extremely sensitive to these four words and has been drooling over them.
