Chapter 70 Trying to Make Cream Cake
"Shut up! Do you need your money to help me?"
After saying that, Zong Hao ordered someone to bring up fifty taels of silver.
When Qian Youliang saw the silver, he instantly forgot the hatred he had held for days and his eyes immediately started to shine with gold.
Even Wang Mazi had other ideas in mind.
It seems that Zong Hao is indeed a better choice for the master than Qian Youliang...
At this time, Zong Hao said with contempt:
"The Jiangzhou Bao family isn't a big family. If you offend them, so be it. Don't I still have you to look after?"
Qian Youliang felt relieved when he heard this, thinking that the Gu family was so arrogant.
When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. This Gu family actually dared to beat his servants. He has the money and power to make them pay!
When Qian Youliang was about to take Wang Mazi back home, Wang Mazi was called to Zong Hao alone.
Wang Mazi originally thought that Zong Hao wanted to use him for something, but he didn't expect that when he wasn't paying attention, he was caught by Zong Hao's men and then fed an unknown thing.
The moment the thing entered his mouth, it slithered into his throat like a snake.
Before Wang Mazi could react, he heard Zong Hao's strange laugh:
"Don't worry, from now on, you can come to my house every three months to get the antidote, and this poison will not affect you."
Wang Mazi thought he had been fed the same poison as Qian Youliang, and he was filled with resentment, but on the surface he could only show his loyalty with a pale face:
"Don't worry, my lord. Wang Mazi will swear allegiance to you until death. He will never have second thoughts."
Gu family.
"Mom, how about we buy a few more cows?"
Gu Feixue said happily as she counted the money she earned from Zuixianlou in the past few days.
In just a few days, they earned ten taels of silver, which was equivalent to the revenue of an ordinary family for two or three years.
Even if they set up their own stalls, they might not be able to earn that much.
"The last time I went to Zuixianlou, I saw them selling a plate of five golden buns for a hundred coins, more expensive than even the meat and vegetables. Even so, they're still in short supply. If we buy a few more cows, we can increase the supply."
Wang was hesitant when she heard this. Cooperating with Zuixianlou was indeed a safe and quick way to make money, but if they made too much money, would it cause trouble?
Gu Feixue knew Wang's concerns, but she said:
"Mom, my brother will be going to Jiangzhou to take part in the provincial examination next year. This amount of money is not enough for the round trip."
When it comes to these important matters, Wang naturally doesn't want Gu Tingchuan to suffer on the road by sleeping in the open air.
If there was no urgent need for money, Wang would still be hesitant about whether the Gu family would attract attention because of their fame.
But now that Gu Feixue said this, Wang Shi also wanted to earn more for Gu Tingchuan. After thinking it over, she said:
"Then Mom and Dad will go to the horse market tomorrow and buy some cows if they have any."
Gu Feixue was in a good mood as she had achieved her goal, but she didn't expect that Gu Lang and Wang Shi failed to buy any dairy cows for several days afterwards.
And people in Chema Market said that all the cows had been bought up in advance.
There are only a handful of people raising dairy cows in Liangcheng, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, so no one will sell their cows.
"Who on earth deliberately bought the cows from the market?"
The family discussed this matter at the dinner table. Although the Gu family would still make money even without more cows, everyone felt a little uneasy.
The dairy cows that were not popular in the past have recently been bought up in large quantities, which makes them think of their own homes.
"Mom, I went to Zuixianlou to check on the situation in the past few days. I'm afraid something went wrong there."
The next day, Gu Feixue wrapped herself in the down jacket made by Wang and got on the ox cart.
The Chinese New Year is still half a month away, but Gu Feixue, wearing a down jacket, does not feel cold at all. Instead, she feels warm all over.
She made up her mind that if anything went wrong with the cooperation with Zuixianlou, she would just open a down jacket store, specializing in selling down jackets, down cushions and the like.
When she arrived at Zuixianlou, Gu Feixue indeed observed that there were not as many guests coming and going as before.
When the waiter saw Gu Feixue, he immediately came forward and said respectfully:
"Miss Gu, you're here. The shopkeeper has been missing you for several days. He's in the back now."
Gu Feixue originally came to find Bao Hongcai, and after hearing this, she went to the backyard of Zuixianlou.
"Boss, this is yesterday's revenue. It's down again."
Bao Hongcai took the account book handed over by the accountant with a worried look on his face. On it was the income and expenditure of Zuixianlou yesterday.
"Shopkeeper Bao."
Bao Hongcai stood up and looked at Gu Feixue with a look of surprise:
"Miss Gu, why are you here? Come and sit down."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Gu Feixue realized that something had indeed happened in Zuixianlou.
It turned out that the recipes she sold to Bao Hongcai were secretly sold to another restaurant in the city by a spy in the kitchen.
With these fresh foods, the restaurant's business has naturally been booming these days.
In comparison, Zuixianlou's business is obviously much less.
"That damn traitor! If it weren't for him, my Zuixianlou's recipe wouldn't have been stolen!"
Bao Hongcai was furious, but then he thought of something and said:
"It's also my fault that I, Old Bao, didn't judge people well enough, causing the Gu family's recipe to be leaked."
What Bao Hongcai didn't expect was that Gu Feixue remained calm when she heard this.
Gu Feixue had naturally seen this kind of business competition trick many times in her previous life, so she was not surprised at this time.
After all, in business, you can't guarantee that there won't be people following you, but you can guarantee that they will always be following you.
As long as you are always a few steps ahead of others, why bother about following the trend?
Besides, the dairy products in her mind were more than just those sold to Zuixianlou before.
"Don't worry, Manager Bao. I came here today for this very purpose."
Afterwards, Gu Feixue revealed to Bao Hongcai the methods of making other dairy products that she also knew.
Bao Hongcai naturally regarded Gu Feixue as timely rain, and hoped that the recipes Gu Feixue gave him could solve his urgent needs.
This time, Gu Feixue chose milk dates, which was also a famous dairy product in her previous life.
The sweet and sour red dates are coated with a layer of milky cheese, which tastes absolutely fresh and wonderful.
Gu Feixue signed a pledge with Shopkeeper Bao again, and this time reminded Shopkeeper Bao that all personnel who come into contact with new dishes in the future must be trustworthy people.
Bao Hongcai naturally knew this truth, after all, he had been fooled once.
With the new dishes, Zuixianlou is sure to win the competition.
Even though that restaurant sells food at a lower price than Zuixianlou, Zuixianlou is always ahead and never has to worry about a lack of customers.
On the way back, Gu Feixue went to visit the restaurant that intended to compete with Zuixianlou.
But I discovered a coincidence that this restaurant was actually Qian Youliang's restaurant.
Unexpectedly, it was Qian Youliang again.
Gu Feixue didn't know what she was thinking. She bought some eggs from the market and returned to the village.
Because I didn’t know how to take care of the chickens I bought before, I sold them all to the village chief’s family.
What she wants to make this time is something that is difficult to imitate.
She also planned that if she wanted to cooperate with Zuixianlou in the future, she would have to make the food herself, without anyone else's hands, and the recipe would naturally not be leaked.
It is impossible for others to guess the production process based on the finished product.
