As time went by, the stall's business gradually returned to its previous booming state.
About half an hour later, seeing that the stinky tofu was about to sell out, Yu Zhizhi quickly fried a portion and personally delivered it to the guard post.
"Brother guard, could you please deliver this stinky tofu to your master for me to try?"
"good."
Not long after, Zhao Yi took the stinky tofu and went back into the study. "Master, Yu Zhizhi is inviting you to eat stinky tofu."
This was the first time Zhao Yunjin had smelled this stinky odor so closely, but she still found it difficult to get used to the smell immediately.
He frowned and replied, "Take it!"
"Yes, Master."
Zhao Yunjin couldn't help but sigh that she had underestimated Yu Zhizhi. She hadn't expected her stall to be so popular in just half a day.
It's so popular that there's a constant stream of diners.
The popularity attracted the attention of government officials.
They sought to capitalize on his popularity.
Looking at the stinky tofu in Zhao Yi's hand, Zhao Wu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, aren't you going to eat any?"
Zhao nodded.
Zhao Wu pressed on, "So where do you plan to take it?"
"I threw it away."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhao Wu already had a plan in mind and quickly said, "I'll help you throw it away. This kind of rough work isn't really suitable for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wu quickly took the stinky tofu from Zhao Yi's hand.
Zhao Yi grinned at Zhao Wu and praised, "Of our six personal guards, besides me, you are the most perceptive."
Zhao Wu knew how to flatter: "I learned it from you."
And so, Zhao Wu ate the stinky tofu.
He ate with great relish, and even seemed a little hungry.
No wonder Yu Zhizhi's stall is doing so well. The six personal guards who follow their master usually eat all kinds of delicacies, but this is the first time they have tried such unique stinky tofu. They guess that it can only be bought from Yu Zhizhi.
After finishing his official duties, Zhao Yunjin sat down at his desk, rubbed his temples, and then closed his eyes, preparing to rest for a while.
When he opened his eyes again, the image of that stinky tofu that someone had offered him suddenly popped into his mind.
"Zhao Yi, is that stinky tofu still there?"
Upon hearing his master's words, Zhao Yi was taken aback.
Does the master suddenly want to eat?
He truthfully replied, "That stinky tofu has already been thrown away."
Zhao Yunjin nodded to indicate that she understood, and then fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, He Donghai had been secretly observing his grandson; he noticed that He Yang was helping sell stinky tofu with unusual seriousness today.
This was unprecedented, which greatly surprised He Donghai.
After He Yang finished packing up his stall, He Donghai walked up to him and said with a smile, "Grandson, follow Zhizhi and learn from her, even if you only learn a little bit. Also, remember to bring back two servings of stinky tofu tomorrow, one for your grandmother and one for me."
Upon hearing this, He Yang helplessly spread his hands: "Grandfather, it's 40 coins in total. I'm just the second-in-command, I can't make the decision."
"You brat! Can't I put it on your tab?"
“I’m very poor right now, have you forgotten? My father has cut off my monthly allowance to stop me from setting up a stall with the boss.”
"Your father is blind. You are clearly gifted and very suitable for business."
He Yang loved hearing praise. “Grandfather has good judgment. Alright! Put these 40 coins in my account.”
He Donghai thought to himself with amusement: Compared to him, his grandson is still a bit too green.
Looks like we'll be in for a treat in the future.
His friends, having just tasted stinky tofu, were now incredibly envious of him, the last time being of hot pot.
So he wholeheartedly agreed that his grandson should follow Yu Zhizhi.
You can make him lift both legs.
The first day of setting up a stall ended without any major incidents. After returning to the Yun residence, Yu Zhizhi immediately took a bath and changed clothes, as she couldn't help it; the smell on her body was just too strong.
Fortunately, this random stall only sold stinky tofu for three days, otherwise people would talk about her with the word "stinky" in the future.
The next morning.
Today, Yu Zhizhi prepared half again as much stinky tofu as yesterday, mainly because yesterday it sold out quickly, and some customers who had been queuing for a long time were unable to get any.
Yu Zhizhi took in their disappointed expressions.
After learning that the stall was a hit, his younger brother Xiaochen and father also came to help out.
Following yesterday's stall-setting schedule, the group slowly arrived at the entrance of the Sixth Prince's residence, chatting and laughing.
But I was still surprised by what I saw.
At this time yesterday, there wasn't a single person or horse in sight in the open space in front of the Sixth Prince's residence.
At this moment, quite the opposite was true; many carriages and horses were parked in the open space, and many ordinary people stood there looking around.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted:
"The Stinky Tofu Beauty has arrived."
Where?
"It was blocked by that conspicuous bag that looked like a green peacock."
Yu Zhizhi looked bewildered and pointed to herself, "Are they referring to me as the 'Stinky Tofu Beauty'?"
Oh my god!
Upon hearing this, He Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha! Boss, you heard me right, I'm talking about you!"
Then, he joked, "I have to say, the title 'Stinky Tofu Beauty' is quite fitting for you."
Not to be outdone, Yu Zhizhi looked at him with a smile: "Didn't you hear? They say you're a green peacock. You wore a deep red brocade robe yesterday, and a deep green one today. Who are you planning to show off to?"
It's definitely an eye-catching bag.
He Yang muttered softly, "I just wanted to try this color today because I saw the Sixth Prince wearing that dark green brocade robe yesterday. His noble demeanor and striking figure were just too handsome."
Are we that different?
He hadn't missed it yesterday; all the young women's eyes were glued to the Sixth Prince.
Yu Zhizhi nodded without any politeness: "The difference between buyer's show and seller's show."
He Yang pursed his lips.
His fragile spirit was hurt again.
I will never wear anything so eye-catching again.
I was originally thinking of dressing like this to attract some customers, but oh well, I'll give the boss some face. These customers are hard-earned, I don't want to scare them away.
Today, many young men and women lined up to buy stinky tofu; after all, they are young people and are more open to new things.
I've heard that a kind of black, smelly, and fragrant snack has appeared in the capital, and it can only be bought at the stall in front of the Sixth Prince's residence.
Such unique food, such an unexpected stall location, and such an eccentric person as Yu Zhizhi instantly attracted their attention.
Sure enough, they all came to queue up and buy it themselves.
While the other five guards weren't paying attention, Guard Zhao Wu sneaked over to the apricot tree to queue up.
"Give me an extra spicy stinky tofu, with coriander."
"Okay!"
Yu Zhizhi looked up at him. Wasn't this Zhao Wu, one of the Sixth Prince's personal guards?
