Although it is winter now, the temperature is still relatively high when the sun is out.
Under the evaporation of high temperatures, the pool smelled even worse, and the warm silt sticking to your body was simply unbearable.
"I can't take it anymore!" A noblewoman broke down in tears.
"You can't even stand it?" Yun Qingran sneered. "I was just a little careless and I would have died at the hands of that evil Taoist priest. Why didn't you say that?"
"Miss Yun, we're sorry, we were wrong." The noblewoman knelt down on both knees. "I will never dare to mess with you again, please forgive me."
"And you?" Yun Qingran looked at the other noble ladies.
"Miss Yun, we dare not do it again."
"We really won't dare to do it again, please spare us."
"Waaah, please have mercy on us!"
...
"Since you don't dare to come out, then come out." Yun Qingran gently beckoned.
Upon hearing this, the noble ladies felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and they all scrambled out of the pool.
Liang Jingxue and the others still looked resentful, but they still took advantage of the chaos to come out.
"Miss Yun, we'll be leaving now." The noble ladies curtsied to Yun Qingran, then hurriedly fled down the mountain.
Just as they were about to run out of Yun Qingran's sight, Yun Qingran spoke up, "Stop."
The noble ladies were startled, wondering if she had changed her mind. They turned around stiffly and asked respectfully, "Is there anything else, Miss Yun?"
"A person's life is only a few decades long, and the bloom of youth is even shorter. You are born into powerful families and are supported by the people from birth, with no worries about food or clothing. Instead of thinking about the welfare of the people, you spend your days competing with each other and scheming against each other. It is truly disappointing."
After Yun Qingran finished speaking, the noble ladies fell silent and slowly lowered their heads. These words were deafening and made them feel ashamed.
"I don't care what you want to do, but if you dare to mess with me again, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'm not some delicate young lady; I have plenty of methods." Yun Qingran's tone was filled with undisguised ruthlessness.
Please, her ideal is to be surrounded by male models, become incredibly rich and thin, and reach the pinnacle of life. She doesn't want to waste time fighting with others just for the sake of fighting.
"Understood, Miss Yun." Apart from Liang Jingxue and a few others, the other noble ladies bowed to Yun Qingran with complete respect.
Yun Qingran turned around and descended the mountain with Ning Jitang via another path.
Back in the city, it was still early, so Yun Qingran decided to go check out Gaga Xiang, which was opening today.
On the way, Yun Qingran fantasized about the booming opening of Gaga Xiang, the instant success of its hot pot base, leading a new industry, earning a fortune every day, surrounded by handsome men, and living a happy and fulfilling life.
To my surprise, when I arrived at the entrance of Gaga Xiang, there wasn't a single person, let alone a bird.
"No, no, it must be because I'm doing it wrong." Yun Qingran closed her eyes and backed away, retreating to the corner, then opened her eyes and walked over.
A gust of wind blew past the entrance of Gaga Xiang, leaving only two words: desolate!
"Your startup failed?" Yun Qingran was a little incredulous.
She went into the store and found Zhang San and Lao Ding sitting there looking defeated.
"Young Miss." Zhang San and Lao Ding greeted Yun Qingran with a mix of grievance and embarrassment upon seeing her arrive.
"Where are the guests?" Yun Qingran asked them.
"No customers." Zhang San scratched the back of his head. "A few customers thought our signboard was interesting and came to ask about it, but in the end they didn't buy anything."
"Miss Yun, what should we do?" Old Ding asked.
Yun Qingran thought for a moment and then instructed Old Ding, "Uncle Ding, go and buy some beef, pork, and vegetables."
"Did you buy all this for a farewell dinner?" Zhang San's eyes lit up. He could finally go back and no longer have to be a cook at Gaga Xiang.
"Dream on." Yun Qingran rolled her eyes at him.
Zhang San is like Pigsy from Journey to the West, always wanting to break up at the slightest sign of trouble.
Old Ding took one or two taels of silver and soon returned with a large pile of vegetables.
"Start a fire," Yun Qingran instructed Zhang San.
"Why are you starting a fire?" Zhang San asked, puzzled.
"You'll find out soon enough." Yun Qingran rolled up her sleeves, ready to get to work.
"Ranran, is there anything I can help you with?" Ning Jitang asked her.
"Old Ding and I helped wash these vegetables clean."
“Okay.” Ning Jitang immediately rolled up his sleeves and started washing vegetables with Lao Ding.
Half an hour later, the vegetables were washed and the meat was cut. Yun Qingran scooped five spoonfuls of hot pot base into the hot pot, and after the hot pot base melted, she poured in a basin of water.
"Wow, it smells so good." Ning Jitang swallowed hard, smelling the aroma filling the air.
Not only Ning Jitang, but also passersby stopped and sniffed the air with relish.
It seems there's nothing wrong with the hot pot base. Yun Qingran is relieved. As long as the hot pot base is fine, changing the marketing strategy still gives her a great chance to get rich.
"Zhang San, come here and carry the stove and pot out," Yun Qingran called to Zhang San.
"Why carry it out?" Zhang San didn't understand the operation.
"Just do what I tell you to do. There's no point in talking to you about your brain." Yun Qingran said, taking two handkerchiefs and wrapping them around the pot handle.
"Oh!" Zhang San said with a resentful "oh".
If you don't want to talk, then don't! Instead, look down on people's intelligence!
With the combined efforts of Yun Qingran and Zhang San, the large pot and stove were carried to the street in front of Gaga Xiang.
"What are you doing?"
"Why did you bring the pot out onto the street?"
"Wow, it smells so good."
"I've never smelled anything so fragrant before."
"What is this? I've never seen anything like it before!"
...
Pedestrians stopped to watch.
Once the water in the pot boiled, Yun Qingran poured all the vegetables and meat into the pot and then handed out chopsticks to the people around her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my shop is opening today! We're selling antique hot pot base, free samples available, and if you like it, you can buy it at a 20% discount," Yun Qingran called out.
"Isn't this Miss Yun'e...?"
"She'll let us try it for free?"
"If you don't believe me, hurry up and leave. Be careful she doesn't suddenly become a beast and attack us."
...
No one dared to try it, and some of the more timid ones were even ready to run away.
The original owner's terrible interpersonal relationships were a real killer!
"Everyone, a person should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation. Today, Yun Qingran has turned over a new leaf and started anew. I hope you will give her a chance," Yun Qingran said sincerely to everyone.
People still didn't believe her, and their eyes remained filled with disgust and fear as they looked at her.
Yun, the wicked woman, has committed countless evil deeds. How could she possibly become a good person overnight? She must be playing a trick on everyone.
"What do we do if they don't believe you?" Zhang San asked Yun Qingran softly.
"Ranran, how about we forget about it? From now on, I'll give you half of my monthly allowance." Ning Jitang was worried that Yun Qingran would be hurt by everyone's attitude.
“Yes, Miss, let it go,” Old Ding encouraged. “Everyone may not believe you, but this old servant believes you’ve changed for the better.”
"I can't give up. I don't want to become a villain that everyone hates." Yun Qingran's eyes were filled with determination.
