Seeing that he clearly didn't believe her, Li Fei had no choice but to explain: "A few days ago, I saw her drying a lot of fish in the yard, and she even told that fat He that the dishes made from salted fish taste just as good as those made from fresh fish."
Sun Kun thought for a moment and muttered, "Last time Yun Zhizhi went to the neighboring prefecture to set up a stall to sell lotus roots, so it's not impossible that she'll set up a stall to sell salted fish next time."
His expression improved considerably, but he still hadn't found out the most important thing: the location for his stall.
"Do everything you can to bribe those servants in the Yun household. It doesn't matter if it costs more money. We must get the important information we need before Yun Zhizhi sets up her stall again."
Thinking back to the last time, when he didn't even close a single deal and lost dozens of taels of silver, Sun Kun felt an unbearable pain in his heart, as if he were being pricked by needles.
This time, we must find out the exact details of Yun Zhizhi's stall, otherwise they won't be able to continue in this line of work.
Finally, Sun Kun glared fiercely at Li Fei and shouted sternly, "What are you still standing here for? Get out there and get to work! If you don't handle this well, see how I deal with you!"
Seeing this, Li Fei quickly nodded in agreement, then turned and hurriedly left.
Inside the Xu residence, all was peaceful and serene, but from a certain pavilion, heavy sighs could be heard.
Jiang Lanzhi had no idea how many times he had sighed.
The moment Jiang Lanzhi saw Xu Junshen walk into the courtyard, he instantly perked up, as if springs had sprung up from his buttocks, and stood up abruptly.
Then, with long, quick strides, he walked up to Xu Junshen and asked anxiously:
"Cousin, did your business partner, Miss Yun, go to the docks to sell boxed lunches today?"
Faced with his cousin's relentless questioning day after day, Xu Junshen showed a hint of helplessness, but his answer remained unchanged: "No."
This question again!
His cousin has been asking him this question for five days in a row.
Actually, he hadn't had enough of the boxed lunches that Miss Yun made yet.
To avoid Jiang Lanzhi asking about this again tomorrow, Xu Junshen felt it necessary to explain things to him properly.
So he continued, "Cousin, stop thinking about this boxed lunch. Judging from Miss Yun's past stall practices, she sells completely different things every time she sets up her stall."
"In other words, even if she sets up a stall again next time, she definitely won't sell boxed lunches again."
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Lanzhi was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
He hadn't even had his fill of the boxed lunches when she suddenly said she wouldn't sell them anymore.
Seeing his cousin looking utterly dejected, Xu Junshen couldn't bear it and quickly comforted him, "Come on, don't be so downcast."
"Since you like that scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spicy diced chicken so much, I'll have our restaurant's chef try to make something similar so you can have a taste."
Jiang Lanzhi pursed his lips, sighed, and said, "While you were away, I already had them make these two dishes."
"But the dishes those cooks make are worlds apart from what Miss Yun sells! They're incomparable!"
Just thinking about the perfectly balanced sweet and savory tomato and egg stir-fry sold at Miss Yun's stall, and the spicy chicken cubes that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so delicious and irresistible, made Jiang Lanzhi's mouth water.
Although the chefs at Fujiu Restaurant are all highly skilled and have excellent culinary expertise.
Even so, they were still unable to replicate the unique texture and intoxicating flavor of Yun Gu Niang.
After pondering for a moment with his chin in his hand, Jiang Lanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Xu Junshen beside him with anticipation and asked, "Cousin, I have a small request, but I don't know if I should say it?"
Xu Junshen responded softly, "Go ahead and say it!"
"Could you please send someone to ask Miss Yun what she plans to sell at her next stall?"
Xu Junshen gently waved his folding fan, a slight smile playing on his lips as he replied, "Cousin, have you forgotten that you're leaving the capital the day after tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lanzhi quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not leaving the day after tomorrow. I plan to stay in the capital for another month before I set off."
Upon hearing this, Xu Junshen glanced at Jiang Lanzhi with a hint of suspicion and asked calmly, "Do you think your uncle will agree to let you postpone your trip?"
A sly smile flashed across Jiang Lanzhi's face, as if he already had a well-thought-out plan in mind: "Hehe, as for the reason, I've already thought of it. He will definitely agree to my request!"
He had already planned it out.
I will write a letter to my father, using the excuse that I want to humbly learn business from my cousin, so that I can stay in the capital for another month before leaving.
He went to great lengths to taste the delicious food made by Miss Yun.
Just then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he quickly added, "Moreover, my grandparents and I share the same idea; they both plan to stay in the capital for another month before leaving."
"With such a good reason, everything should be foolproof!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Junshen, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment and asked with a puzzled look, "How come I had no idea that they had changed their itinerary?"
In previous years, my maternal grandfather and his family never stayed in Beijing for long, and my mother's repeated pleas were always in vain.
Why do we suddenly have to stay an extra month this time?
