Qiu Ju didn't come back until noon. At noon, Shen Wan made two dishes and one soup, and Ling'er and she had a simple lunch.
"Ma'am, something big happened." As soon as Qiu Ju entered the room, she said to Shen Wan anxiously.
After hearing this, Shen Wan, who was leaning on the couch, sat up straight, looked at Qiu Ju and asked, "What's the big deal?"
"There is a restaurant called Xiangfulou that also sells kimchi and sour radish duck soup." This was what she heard from a passerby when she was looking for the hawker selling ceramics. After hearing this, she even went there. Zhaixinglou, the business of Zhaixinglou is not as good as before, the number of customers is at least half.
Hearing this, Shen Wan raised her eyebrows. Her kimchi is unique in the Dongchen country, and it is quite particular. Without anyone's guidance, it would not be easy for others to figure out how to make kimchi.
Therefore, their kimchi recipe was obviously leaked.
Seeing that Shen Wan was just frowning and thinking about something without saying anything, Qiu Ju said again: "The price of Xiangfu Tower is half cheaper than that of Zhaixing Tower. I just went to Zhaixing Tower to take a look. The first floor The hall was not full, and there were obviously a lot fewer guests.”
"Did Shopkeeper Zhao say anything?" Now that other restaurants are selling kimchi, their first thought should be that she broke the contract and sold the kimchi to others!
Qiu Ju said: "Shopkeeper Zhao didn't say anything? He just said that they are also investigating the origin of Xiangfulou kimchi. Let us also investigate here."
Shen Wan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Shopkeeper Zhao to trust her so much without any doubt.
"Then I'll go out and you'll stay at home. By the way, how did you go about the things I asked you to do?" Shen Wan looked at Qiu Ju and asked.
Qiu Ju said: "The little brother would like to take over this job, but their kiln is too small to produce jars in large quantities. Moreover, the little brother said that his family also has a unique craft. When it comes to firing jars, , you can directly burn the trademark you mentioned on the jar, madam, and the font and pattern will still protrude after being burned."
In fact, this kind of craft is very common in modern times. However, in this era, since it is a unique craft, it is just what she wants.
Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go and talk to him face to face."
Then, Shen Wan changed into a maid's clothes, combed her hair like a maid, covered her face and left the house through the back door.
When she was leaving the back door, the guard guard asked her, "You have a rash again!"
After leaving the General's Mansion, Shen Wan went straight to Xiangfu Tower and ordered a plate of kimchi and sour radish and duck soup.
Because this cook is not good, the taste of the old duck soup is not even close to that of Zhaixinglou. However, the taste of the kimchi is exactly the same as that made in her workshop.
Logically speaking, even kimchi made with the same recipe will have some differences in taste. But this kimchi is exactly the same as the one made in her workshop, so there is only one possibility, that is, this kimchi is From her small workshop.
So, Shen Wan went directly to the small workshop to find out what was wrong with the workshop.
When she was still four or five hundred meters away from the small workshop, Shen Wan heard the sound of a dog barking. The dog barked fiercely, obviously because of the arrival of a stranger. This made Shen Wan alert, and she slowly walked toward The workshop was approaching. The dog tied at the door was out of sight, barking into the yard.
