Three days later, DouDou Tavern put up an advertisement for snowflake crisp peanuts to attract customers; just seeing the pictures was enough to make one's mouth water.
The pink peanuts are coated with a layer of white icing, looking like pearls or snowflakes, no wonder they are called snowflake crisps.
People flocked to the store to try the drinks and novelty, and the flavor immediately overshadowed the garlic peanuts.
"Crispy inside and sweet outside, eating one and then taking a sip of spicy liquor makes you feel like you're floating on air." Those who have tasted snowflake crisps squint their eyes in enjoyment, their faces beaming with joy—the satisfaction of a long day's work.
"My God, it's a hundred times better than garlic peanuts, no, a thousand times better." Chunhua was a big fan of DouDou, and besides, it was DouDou who helped her and Li Tianlang arrange the blind date. Although the result was not satisfactory, she put her mind at ease with Li Tianlang from then on.
"If you ask me, this snowflake crisp should be promoted nationwide so that more people can enjoy it." The speaker was Uncle De, a regular at the tavern.
Yuan Doudou watched them eat and praise the peanuts, and she was overjoyed. Luckily, because her grandfather liked peanuts, she had done some research beforehand and learned that coating roasted peanuts with a layer of sugar powder would make them look and taste better.
The tavern's business gradually improved thanks to the snowflake crisps. In addition to those who came to drink, there were also people who came specifically to buy snowflake crisps. In order to promote the snowflake crisps, Yuan Doudou bought a courtyard and hired several workers to make snowflake crisps non-stop. Soon, all the taverns in Ping'an Town were using the snowflake crisps she made.
Soon, the surrounding towns also learned of the fame of Snowflake Crisp. Following the trail, they found the tavern, and new customers came to order Snowflake Crisp every day. Of course, there were also some scoundrels who secretly imitated Snowflake Crisp, but the taste was always a little off.
When passing merchants learned of the popularity of snowflake crisps, they all approached Yuan Doudou, wanting to buy the recipe, but she refused no matter what.
"Have you heard? Someone offered a thousand taels of gold for DouDou's recipe, but they refused to sell it," the drinkers chatted idly.
"Why? A thousand gold pieces, and you could never have that kind of life's hardship." Those who heard this couldn't help but sigh, thinking that they could have solved their problems once and for all.
Yuan Doudou overheard their discussion as she passed by, simply smiled, and calmly left.
They had no idea that she planned to take this recipe to Kyoto; her ambition was far more than just opening a small tavern in this small town. She wanted to open a grand restaurant in Kyoto.
Soon, Lu Chaoyang found her and asked her if she wanted to go to Kyoto.
"Of course I want to, but houses in Kyoto are very expensive, and I'm afraid I can't afford it." Of course, she can't afford it right now. One day in the future, she will definitely be able to buy a big house in Kyoto, with three courtyards, a front yard and a back yard, eighteen rooms, a rockery, a garden and a pond.
Lu Chaoyang waved his hand, saying that these were minor issues. They were friends, and it was only right that they were given a large house to live in.
That same year, Anji passed the imperial examination and became a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), becoming the youngest Xiucai in the history of Ping'an Town and even Ping'an County.
Who would have thought that Anji would pass the imperial examination at the age of six and become a scholar at the age of eight? This was completely beyond Yuan Doudou's expectations. She couldn't help but sigh that with such good genes from her and Anrong, shouldn't they have more children?
Before they knew it, it was their second year in Kyoto, and also the first year that their three babies were born.
"Mommy, my little brother looks like Momo." Tangtang is six years old, with two braids, her little face is pink and tender, and her eyes are still as black as grapes, bright and sparkling.
The "Momo" she was referring to was her Persian cat, which her Uncle Chaoyang brought back from the Western Regions.
Yuan Doudou affectionately stroked Tangtang's head: "Tangtang, do you like your little brother?"
"I like it." Her brother is currently at Tianzhu Academy, spending all his time engrossed in books, leaving her to play with Momo every day. Now that's great, she has a younger brother, and she won't be bored anymore.
Yuan Doudou smiled with satisfaction: "I'm glad you like it."
An Rong brought in chicken soup and saw the mother and daughter chatting and laughing, their eyes full of happiness.
"Here, have some chicken soup." An Rong put down the chicken soup, helped Yuan Doudou sit up, and didn't forget to put a pillow behind her back.
"Why are you still at home? Isn't Aunt Li taking care of me? You should go to the restaurant and keep an eye on things." Jixiang Restaurant was the first restaurant they opened in Kyoto, and Lu Xi was in charge of cooking.
Lu Xi's culinary skills have won unanimous praise, and many people come to his house specifically for his cooking. Of course, Yuan Doudou also deserves credit for this, as she provided many rare recipes. In addition, Lu Xi's pursuit of perfection has made his dishes famous throughout the capital.
"Nothing is more important than you." An Rong hugged Dou Dou from behind, his face involuntarily pressing against hers. Despite having given birth to three children, her skin was still so smooth and tender.
"The baby is still here." Yuan Doudou blushed at his intimate gesture. Honestly, he didn't know how to restrain himself at all. All the gentleman he used to be was gone. All he had were his restless hands, touching every sensitive spot. It was infuriating.
Tangtang covered her face with her hands, leaving only her eyes showing. "Tangtang didn't see anything."
Their comical appearance made the couple burst into laughter.
Happiness is everywhere; a harmonious and happy family is the simplest form of happiness.
The story ends.
Life goes on...
May everyone and their families be happy, safe, and prosperous.
