Shopkeeper Xu was so angry that his hands were trembling. This Fulai Restaurant was stepping on them to become famous. This was too much!
What puzzled him even more was how they could launch better-tasting lotus leaf chicken so quickly. He knew very well that these customers were very realistic, and at the same price, he would go to whoever's restaurant had the best food.
there.
It's not like they haven't thought about imitating Fulai Restaurant's signature dishes, but no matter how they cook it, it's not as delicious as theirs. If customers use it for comparison, it will lose Jixiang Restaurant's reputation.
"Check, you must check it out for me!"
Is it because Fulai Restaurant hired a highly skilled chef? In that case, Jixiang Restaurant can spend more money to recruit him back.
After waiting for two days and spending a lot of money, shopkeeper Xu got some inside information. What he found made him even more angry.
Su Yuewei secretly learned the recipe of lotus leaf chicken at Ganqing Jixiang Restaurant from her cousin Su Yueling. Her cousin Su Yueling's father was the original shopkeeper of Fulai Restaurant.
Not only that, the Dongpo Pork, Shrimp Dumplings, and Liangpi were all sold to Fulai Restaurant by Su Yueling.
How could Su Yueling know so much? And Su Yuewei, how dared to play tricks on them. If he had known that there was a better version of this thing, he would not have bought hers no matter what, and he would have gone directly to Su Yueling.
No wonder Fu Lai Restaurant has the confidence to say that they are the genuine ones.
The waiter looked indignant, "Shopkeeper, do you want to settle the score with Su Yuewei?"
"What kind of account is this? Are you going to make a big fuss and let everyone know that our restaurant was cheated?"
"If you want to settle accounts, there is no rush now."
Of course he wouldn't just let it go, but what was more important than this was how to get the customers back.
Shopkeeper Xu said: "Let's go find Su Yueling!"
Su Yueling must have more than these recipes. If he could know more recipes... Wait, he suddenly remembered something. Fulai Restaurant also started selling white sugar during this period. Even if you have money, you can't buy white sugar now.
It was booked by a wealthy family.
Isn't that sugar sold by Su Yueling as well?
He heard that most of them were sent to the state capital, and that the owner behind Fulai Restaurant was the Mo family, a wealthy businessman in the state capital.
If the sugar was really invented by Su Yueling, Su Yueling would have to do anything to win her over.
Shopkeeper Xu thought for a while and reluctantly ran to buy a set of silver noodles. He also spent a lot of money to buy a heavy gold bracelet for Su Yueling. Don't women just like these? Putting this thing in front of Su Yueling, there is no fear that she will not be tempted.
After the meeting gifts were prepared, shopkeeper Xu asked someone to find out where Su Yueling lived now, and then set off for Lushan Village.
When Shopkeeper Xu arrived at Lushan Village, what he saw along the way were mostly low and dilapidated houses, and the ground was even more loess. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and took out the gold bracelet from the box.
, there is no need to spend so much money, that set of silver noodles is enough.
With what Lushan Village looked like, Su Yueling probably had never seen much of the world.
After asking around, they arrived at the door of Yuan's house. At first glance, the house of Yuan's house was better than other houses around it, but shopkeeper Xu still didn't take it seriously.
Su Yuewei, who was in the room, looked up and saw the carriage with the Jixianglou mark. Her heart skipped a beat, and her heart almost reached her throat. Wasn't this Jixianglou here to settle accounts with her?
When he saw shopkeeper Xu getting off the carriage, his face turned pale and he looked anxious. What to do? He didn't want to ask for the ten taels of silver back, right?
The ten taels of silver were not in her hands at all.
However, shopkeeper Xu got off the carriage, walked straight to the door of Yuan's house, and knocked on the door of Yuan's house. The waiter behind him was holding a box.
Su Yuewei was stunned for a moment. Shopkeeper Xu was not looking for her?
She couldn't help but stand in front of the window.
Shopkeeper Xu knocked for a while, and when Yuan Suifeng opened the door, he asked, "Is this the Yuan family? Is Su Yueling here? I am the shopkeeper of Jixiang Building and I want to do business with her."
Su Yuewei seemed to have been slapped hard, her face was burning. Shopkeeper Xu actually came to Su Yueling to do business?
Has Su Yueling's reputation spread to Jixianglou? Even the big shopkeeper came here in person. Comparing it to the fact that she had to accompany her and say good things in person before selling prescriptions, Su Yuewei's heart twisted into a ball and she felt sour.
It hurts again. Obviously she should be happy that Jixianglou ignored her...
…
Shopkeeper Xu followed Yuan Suifeng into the house. When he saw Yuan Baoshu wearing brand new cloud silk, he immediately regretted it.
Yuan Baoshu was only ten years old this year, so he didn't recognize her as Su Yueling, but when he saw the clothes on her body, he knew that he had underestimated the Yuan family's family background. Who would have thought that in such a poor mountain village, someone could actually wear such well-dressed clothes?
Qiyun Silk.
Even his daughter usually wears fine cotton at home.
Shopkeeper Xu decided to take out the gold bracelet later, fearing that he would bleed this time.
Yuan Baoshu said: "Please drink tea."
Then put the soaked sugar water on the table in front of shopkeeper Xu.
Although she has no favorable impression of Jixianglou, a restaurant that does business with Su Yuewei, Yuan Baoshu still knows the most basic etiquette of hospitality. As for her sister-in-law, it is her nap time now, and Yuan Baoshu will certainly not wake her up.
Shopkeeper Xu looked at the tea cup. There was only a cup of plain water in it, not even a single tea leaf.
He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Because of his status, he was a guest of other wealthy families in the city because of his status. As a result, the Yuan family actually sent him away with boiling water. I heard that the Yuan family also produced scholars. This is how the scholar's family treated him.
The guest way?
After taking a sip, shopkeeper Xu was stunned - it was sweet in the mouth, and the sweetness was very pure, different from that brewed with sucrose.
He looked down at the water, and a possibility came to mind, "You added sugar to this water?"
Yuan Baoshu nodded, "Yes."
No matter how short her family is, she can't lack sugar. She just made fifty pounds of it last night.
Shopkeeper Xu really didn’t expect that a small family like the Yuan family could actually use white sugar to entertain people. Even his family couldn’t do it. After all, most of Fulai Lou’s white sugar is supplied to the prefectural city, and a small part is supplied to the county.
Money can't buy it.
"Did your family sell the white sugar to Fulai Restaurant?"
Yuan Baoshu had no intention of admitting this, but she was always not good at lying. Even if she didn't say anything, her expression showed something.
Shopkeeper Xu was overjoyed. He had forgotten all the recipes now. If he could negotiate a business with white sugar, he would be a great hero. Maybe he could be transferred to Fucheng as a shopkeeper. In that case, it could be said that
It's a step to the sky.
He said excitedly: "I can spend money to buy your white sugar formula!"
"Here are one hundred taels for you! Sell me the sugar recipe."
