Chapter 92: Being a Bad Person
On the second day, Gu Feixue went to the city to buy ingredients for baking. By the way, she took some money to buy a shop to sell down jackets.
It was autumn now, and it would soon be the peak season for down jackets for winter. Now that she had saved enough money, she naturally had to think carefully about business matters.
However, considering the special status of the Gu family, she planned to disguise herself as someone else and go to manage the shop after buying the ingredients.
A year ago, although the person who followed her might have been after Rong Qi and the other man in Taoyuan, she always felt uneasy in her heart, always feeling that the masked man in black might not be targeting her.
After purchasing enough things in the city, he had them delivered to the Gu family in Anju Village.
Gu Feixue carried her bag and went to the largest teahouse in the city and booked a private room.
After instructing the servants not to disturb her, she disguised herself as an ordinary-looking man in the private room.
After all, she was not tall enough to play a strong man, so she could only disguise herself as a handsome man.
During this year, she had practiced her disguise skills to the point where they were no worse than Rong Xing's. Even if Rong Xing walked across from her, he might not be able to recognize her.
After the disguise was complete, he climbed through the window and entered the alley.
After passing through the alley, you will reach the most prosperous street in the main city.
Zuixianlou is located on the east side of this street. Its booming business has also brought the business of other merchants on this street to a higher level.
The reason why Gu Feixue planned to take over the shop now was that the duck and goose production in Anju Village had been completely put on track and had achieved results that everyone could see.
Every household in the village has a considerable income, so purchasing duck down and goose down seems to be a natural thing to do at this time.
In addition, the business of Zuixianlou was getting better and better, and people from other cities often came here to visit.
She was afraid that the prices of shops on this street would skyrocket, and she might not be able to afford it by then.
I looked at four or five shops for sale in a row. Either the backyard was too small and the kitchen was not big enough, or the lobby space was not big enough.
Either there are competitors such as clothing stores nearby, or the location is not good enough and the customer flow is not guaranteed.
It wasn't until she saw the sixth shop that Gu Feixue was very satisfied at first sight.
This was originally a two-story teahouse. Not only were there many stoves for making tea and pastries in the kitchen, but there were also two courtyards in the back.
Although the layout of the teahouse is not as good as the largest teahouse in Liangcheng, once the partitions of the private rooms are removed, the space becomes instantly spacious, which is definitely enough for selling clothes.
The first floor is located in an excellent location facing south and has an antique decoration. It would also be very charming if it were used to sell cheongsams.
The shop owner planned to sell the shop because he couldn't do business due to problems with the layout and tea supply.
Gu Feixue was very decisive. After reading it, she signed the contract with the other party. The total amount was four hundred and eighty taels, and she did not bargain for a penny.
After all, with this location and this area, she definitely didn't lose out.
With more than eighty taels left on hand, Gu Feixue planned to use them to purchase duck down and goose down, fabrics, and to hire people.
"Young boss, I'll give you the things in this store as a bonus." Seeing that Gu Feixue paid very quickly and did not bargain, the shopkeeper went along with it and did him a favor.
Gu Feixue looked at the wooden tables, chairs and benches and thought they were okay, so she nodded and said with a very graceful smile:
"Thank you, Boss Huang."
After buying the shop, Gu Feixue hurried to Chema Market to hire people to dismantle the interior decoration of the teahouse and renovate it as needed.
Gu Feixue was so busy that it wasn't until the afternoon that she realized she hadn't even eaten.
Thinking about the wine he sent to Zuixianlou last time, he wondered whether Bao Hongcai liked it, so he climbed through the window of the alley and returned to the private room of the teahouse.
There were no footprints on the flour she had sprinkled at the door, indicating that no one had entered the house during her absence.
After quickly changing her clothes, Gu Feixue picked up her bag and prepared to go to Zuixianlou.
The teahouse and Zuixianlou were located in the east and west respectively, so Gu Feixue could only walk faster.
Unexpectedly, when I passed by the Qian's Restaurant, I witnessed a good show.
"Don't miss it if you pass by! Our Qian's Restaurant has just launched the Yanjing Roast Duck, a rare dish that is popular throughout Liangcheng. If you want to taste authentic Yanjing Roast Duck, please come to Qian's Restaurant."
The sound of gongs and drums, accompanied by hawking, came from the door of Qian's Restaurant.
Gu Feixue took a look and saw that many people had gathered in front of the restaurant.
The accents of these people are not like those of Liangcheng people, and it is obvious that most of them are not native to Liangcheng.
After thinking about it, Gu Feixue couldn't help but smile.
Yes, if you were from Liangcheng, how could you be tricked into watching?
Who in Liangcheng doesn’t know what the Qian Family Restaurant did a year ago?
In other words, only those who are uninformed will be deceived by their massive propaganda.
Gu Feixue smiled without saying anything, and did not rush to Zuixianlou. She stood in the crowd and watched the show.
"If we talk about the three unique things about Liangcheng, the first one is our Liangcheng cotton, which is one of the best in the whole Jiangzhou."
Gu Feixue remained noncommittal. Liangcheng's cotton was indeed good, as it was close to the northern border and had strong sunlight.
A plague broke out in Liangcheng in late autumn, but many lives were saved by sunbathing.
Although the weather is still cold, there is enough sunlight, so the cotton grows naturally well.
But then I heard the waiter from the Qian's restaurant continue to boast:
"The second one is Liangcheng's Yanjing Roast Duck. It's said that it's a delicacy that even the masters of the capital have never tasted! You are all very lucky to come to the Qian Family Restaurant in Liangcheng today!"
I heard some onlookers speaking with some accents wondering:
"Why do I hear that the most authentic Yanjing roast duck is called Zuixianlou or Zuixiange?"
"Yeah, that's what I heard from those people when I came here. I didn't hear that the restaurant that makes Yanjing Roast Duck is your Qian's Restaurant!"
However, the Qian family's servant was very eloquent:
"You may not know this, but our Qian Family Restaurant is indeed authentic, but because it blocked the financial path of those who followed the trend, it was overshadowed."
When the onlookers heard this, they didn't take it seriously. However, what the guy didn't expect was that a sudden laugh came from the crowd.
"Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard that the food at your Qian family's restaurant is authentic. If you're not even authentic as human beings, how can your cooking be authentic?"
A cunning light flashed in Gu Feixue's eyes. Of course she came here to cause trouble.
Isn’t the way the Qian family cooks just like ancient pirates?
If you want to drive out good money with bad money, you have to ask my lady whether she is willing or not!
The Qian Family Restaurant was surprised that someone would come and disrupt the place. They stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond. However, Gu Feixue asked everyone:
"Everyone, how much do you know about Liangcheng's Third Wonder?"
"I know this. It's said that there's a delicious pastry called cream cake that's been circulating in Liangcheng. It's said to be melt-in-your-mouth sweet without being greasy. Once you've had it, you'll never forget it."
