The family, who were chatting and laughing while eating wontons, all put down their chopsticks and lost their appetite after Wang En arrived.
Shen Danru: "Don't worry, Miss Liu, I will make sure Wang En can't stay on this street any longer."
Wang En, who had fallen to the ground, stood up, dusted himself off, and spat at Chen Ji: "Pah, what a piece of trash, you just wait."
The next day, the wontons were ready, and with the sound of firecrackers, "Chenji Qianlixiang Small Wontons" opened for business.
Many people walked by, stopping frequently, but no one seemed inclined to stop.
Shen Danru had Qingtan and Liu Xiangzhu shout outside for a while, but it didn't work.
Thinking about the system tasks, Shen Danru was momentarily stumped.
With a quick thought, I spent 20 points to buy a scent bomb, and almost all my points were used up, leaving me with only 15 points.
When the fragrance bomb is popped, the fragrance in the air increases dozens of times and can reach dozens of miles.
"What's that smell so good?"
"It seems that Shenji Wonton Shop has opened over there."
"Let's go try it too."
The people inside the Xuanping Marquis's residence also smelled the aroma and inquired about where the food came from, wondering where it smelled so good.
Song Yuqing was eating breakfast when she smelled the aroma of wontons and couldn't help but ask Cuiyi, "Who in the manor made this food that smells so good? Go and ask them."
Cuiyi replied "Yes," curtsied, and went out to inquire.
During his fifteen years in the countryside, Chen Yuqing never had enough to eat or wear, and he always had endless chores to do.
Only after returning to the Marquis's residence did she realize that there was another way for people to live.
She was surrounded by a large group of maids and servants, and even when she woke up, she was served by maids to dress, wash her face, and comb her hair.
Her room always had at least eight to ten dishes for every meal; whatever she wanted to eat, the kitchen would make it.
In just six months, her health improved, and her face regained some weight.
As a result, her palate has become increasingly picky.
At this time, a long queue had already formed at Shenji Wonton Shop. While other shops charged eight coins for a bowl of wontons, Shenji charged twelve coins.
There is a free tasting area with two wontons in each bowl; you can try them before you buy.
Some people who came back from tasting the food found the queue even longer, and were filled with frustration, so they had no choice but to obediently join the back of the line.
Shen Danru devised a series of opening plans, one of which was to allow members to join. On the first day of the opening, members who signed up for 200 coins would receive 50 coins as a bonus, which was a great deal.
System: "Ding ding, host, selling 500 bowls of wontons today will double your experience points and credits."
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Shen Danru couldn't help but curse.
I didn't dare prepare too much for the first day of business, so I only prepared two hundred bowls of wontons. If I had said so earlier, I would have prepared more ingredients.
Today's opening was quite busy. Shen Danru and Qingtan were cooking wontons, Liu Nian was collecting money and keeping accounts, and Liu Xiangzhu was serving bowls to customers while helping Aunt Liu wash the dishes.
"Qingtan, tell Uncle Liu to buy some more ingredients. At this rate, two hundred bowls of wontons definitely won't be enough to sell."
Qingtan agreed and went to the outer room to find Liu Nian.
The secret-recipe wontons smelled so good that customers who hadn't gotten any while waiting in line were drooling as bowls of wontons were served without any for them.
Some impatient customers made a scene and were kicked out by other customers.
Fifty bowls were not enough; there were no bowls left for the later ones, so we had to wait. But we didn't insist; those who couldn't wait could leave.
The shop was packed with people, and even a few tables had been set up outside.
When customers were still enjoying their meal and wanted to order another bowl, Liu Nian could only laugh and apologize, saying that they hadn't prepared enough for the first day of business and that others should also have a taste. He added that customers who wanted to support him should come back tomorrow, and that returning customers would receive a 20% discount.
These people could only regretfully put down their bowls, thinking that they must bring their families to try it tomorrow.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! We are from the Xuanping Marquis's residence. We came out to buy food for our young lady. Make way for us!"
Chunhua and Qiushi were assigned to Song Yuqing by the Lady of the Marquis when she first arrived at the Marquis's residence. They were also Song Yuqing's two most capable maids.
Their temperaments were exactly like Song Yuqing's; once they gained the upper hand, even their chickens and dogs would cause a huge commotion.
"I don't care where you're from. Everyone here is queuing up. What kind of special treatment are you getting?"
"Yes, and besides, what's the Xuanping Marquis's mansion compared to that? Do you think he's the future father-in-law of the emperor?"
"Of course, I'm still from the Ling Prince's Mansion. Am I arrogant? Our master is still waiting at the teahouse over there, and I'm still queuing up, aren't I?"
"Go, go, go, get in line at the back."
Upon hearing that even people from the Ling Prince's mansion were coming to the stall to buy wontons, Chunhua and Qiushi realized that even the Ling Prince liked to eat such a humble food, which showed that the wontons at this stall were truly extraordinary.
The two no longer dared to underestimate this wonton shop and obediently stood in line at the back.
Shen Danru and Qingtan were in the inner kitchen. Chunhua and Qiushi did not see them and did not know that the shop was owned by Shen Danru.
The Marquis's Residence.
"Granny Jin, do you think I've been too cruel to Ru'er?" Madam Song sighed softly.
Granny Jin was massaging Madam Song's head. Her headaches had flared up again recently, and she hadn't been sleeping well for nights on end.
“Madam, you had no choice but to do this. Blame the fake girl for her bad luck. If she were your own daughter, how wonderful that would be.”
Madam Song paused for a moment and said, "Only you understand me."
Shen Danru has already been rejected by the royal family. No matter how outstanding she is, who would want her? Who would dare to want her?
Keeping her by their side would only make the Marquis's mansion a laughing stock, which would also upset Shen Yuqing, the legitimate daughter who had already been recognized.
Madam Song was still hoping that Shen Yuqing's marriage to the Crown Prince would benefit her son, and she would not allow any more mistakes to happen with Shen Yuqing.
I had no choice but to give up Chen Danru.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred bowls had been sold when several government officials barged in.
"Who is the owner of Shenji? Someone reported that your wonton shop is using dead pig meat."
Liu Nian had already gone out to buy things. Shen Danru heard the noise and had no choice but to come out. When she saw several fierce-looking officials, she knew she couldn't afford to offend them, so she quickly stepped forward to explain to them:
"My lords, I'm innocent!"
With a smile on her face, she said, "The meat used to make wontons must be from dead pigs. When we buy meat, the butcher slaughters the pigs, so they must have been killed. Who would put a live pig in the wonton wrapper?"
When the customers heard that there was something wrong with the meat, they realized why the wontons smelled so good. They had already put down their chopsticks and dared not eat anymore. But after hearing Shen Danru's explanation, they all burst into laughter.
"That's for sure, who would bring in a live pig?"
"The person who reported Shen Ji is also unethical; he must have just seen how well Shen Ji's business was doing."
"Exactly, they must be jealous."
