Tangzhou Prefecture has high city walls and a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going at the city gate. Horse-drawn carriages, which were rarely seen in Renhe County in the past, are now very common in Tangzhou Prefecture.
Because the provincial examination is approaching, we can see students from various counties tomorrow.
As soon as they arrived in Tangzhou Prefecture, the three of them hurried to look for an inn. At this time of year, the inns were always crowded and the prices had also increased. Even so, there were still students who had to squeeze into the dilapidated temples, either because there were no rooms in the inn or because their families were poor and could not afford the high cost of staying in the inn.
Zhao Chuchu asked three houses in a row before finally finding a vacant room at the third one. However, the remaining rooms were all top-tier rooms that cost several hundred wen a day.
Zhang Xiuyuan was a little hesitant, but Zhao Chuchu waved her hand and booked two rooms, one for her and Yuan Ge'er, and one for Zhang Xiulin alone.
On the first day in Tangzhou Prefecture, the three of them had to travel a long way to get here, so they had enough food and clothing, washed up, and rested quickly.
The next day, Zhao Chuchu suggested taking a stroll around Tangzhou Prefecture.
It was a rare opportunity to travel far away, so Zhao Chuchu wanted to take a walk with her husband and appreciate the unique scenery of Tangzhou Prefecture. She also planned to open a store in Tangzhou Prefecture, so she could also investigate it first.
Zhang Xiulin didn't have the habit of cramming before exams, so she agreed as soon as Zhao Chuchu suggested it.
The three of them walked around, Zhao Chuchu bought some exquisite gadgets for Zhang Xiuyuan, and Zhang Xiulin was responsible for watching her elder brother and his wife show their love in the back.
"Baiweizhai?" When Zhao Chuchu reached a place, she suddenly stopped.
This is a store with a large storefront. Just looking from the outside, the decoration is very antique and there are many people going in.
The reason why Zhao Chuchu stopped was because Baiweizhai was in the pastry business, and there was a plaque on the top that read: The best in the world.
There are big golden characters and a boy below them saying that this plaque was bestowed by the late emperor.
Zhao Chuchu pulled a person who came out of Baiweizhai and asked about the situation.
"Oh, you are from another place, right? Baiweizhai is very famous in our Tangzhou Prefecture."
The man was suddenly grabbed by Zhao Chuchu, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he was quite enthusiastic.
According to him, the owner of Baiweizhai used to be an imperial chef in the palace, who made cakes for the emperor, empress, concubines and nobles. Because his cakes were so delicious, he received many rewards.
Later, the imperial chef grew old and retired. With the permission of the late emperor, he returned to his hometown, Tangzhou Prefecture, and opened Baiweizhai. The late emperor also bestowed upon him a plaque that read "The Best Restaurant in the World".
Sixty or seventy years have passed from the previous emperor to the current emperor. The previous emperor and the imperial chef have long passed away, but Baiweizhai has been passed down by the imperial chef's descendants.
"Oh, the best delicacy in the world praised by the emperor, I'm quite curious." Zhao Chuchu asked Yuan Ge'er and Zhang Xiulin beside her for their opinions, wanting to go in and try it.
The flower cakes made by the Zhao family are pastries, and she also plans to launch other pastries so that it will not be so monotonous.
In the future, the Zhao family’s pastry shop will definitely open in Tangzhou Prefecture, and it is bound to compete with this “best in the world”. Since she is here, she may as well try it first. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
The two had no objection. After Zhao Chuchu thanked the man, the three of them went into Baiweizhai together.
The man behind Zhao Chuchu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
She actually wanted to say that her grandmother said that although Baiweizhai’s pastries are still delicious, they are not as delicious as others. Nowadays, most people in Tangzhou Prefecture eat Baiweizhai’s pastries for the feelings and nostalgia.
