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 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 bake 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 guarding the door 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.
Suddenly, someone came out of the yard. She ducked and hid behind a big tree, tilting her head and secretly looking at the entrance of the yard.
An adult man wearing a brown shorts walked down the steps with a backpack on his back. When he went down the steps, two dogs tied at the door kept barking at him.
Xiujuan'er, who was wearing a blue cotton dress, was standing at the door, looking around nervously. After the man walked away, she quickly closed the door.
Shen Wan walked out from behind the tree. When the dog at the door saw her, he tilted his head and looked at her. Then he recognized her, barked at her twice and wagged his tail.
Shen Wan walked over and touched the heads of the two dogs. Although these watchdogs can guard against outside thieves, they cannot guard against domestic thieves!
She thought she treated Xiujuan'er well, but she didn't expect that she would do such a mean thing. Since she did such a thing, she shouldn't be ruthless.
Shen Wan did not go directly into the courtyard to question Xiujuan'er. Instead, she went to the hawker selling clay pots, but the hawker had already closed the stall. So she went directly back to the general's residence and told Xiujuan'er about the affair. Qiuju.
When Qiu Ju heard that the problem was with Xiujuan'er, she couldn't help but scolded Xiujuan'er for not being a thing and being ungrateful.
"Madam, how do you plan to handle this matter?" After Qiu Ju finished scolding, she looked at Shen Wan and asked.
Shen Wan said: "Go and ask Qiao Mu if he will go out with the general tomorrow? If he doesn't go out with the general and has nothing to do, he will go out with us."
"Yeah" Qiu Ju nodded, and then went to find Qiao Mu.
Qiu Ju went to the courtyard where the soldiers lived, but did not find Qiao Mu because Qiao Mu had gone out with the general and had not returned to the palace.
The sun was turning to the west, Song Ziling went to study at home, and Qiu Ju was also preparing dinner in the kitchen.
As soon as Song Ziling came back, Shen Wan asked him to do his homework on the stone table in the yard.
"Mom, I'm so hungry and tired. Can you let me have dinner before writing?" I don't know if he was running in the morning, but he always felt hungry very quickly today. In the academy canteen today, he ate five The big steamed buns frightened Lu Wenzhi, but not long after class started in the afternoon, he felt hungry again.
Now in the academy, none of his classmates paid attention to him. They all looked around at him and always pointed at him behind his back and said he was a gambler. Some even said it to his face. He originally wanted to hit someone, but then he remembered, If he made another mistake, he would be expelled from the academy, so he endured it again. The tablemate who was originally sitting with him also asked the husband to change seats, saying that he was afraid that sitting with him would make people close to black people. And the husband asked When anyone wanted to change places with his deskmate, Lu Wenzhi stood up and changed places with his deskmate. Lu Wenzhi was also the only person in the academy who could talk to him now. Of course, this was also because his parents helped him yesterday. Because of dad.
Shen Wan smiled and shook her head: "No, if you can't finish today's homework before eating, don't eat dinner."
She used to finish her homework before eating, and never did it after eating. Moreover, it was dark at night, so it hurt her eyes to light an oil lamp to thank her homework.
Song Ziling's face and shoulders slumped. Could his mother stop threatening people with food?
Smelling the aroma of rice coming from the kitchen, Song Ziling cheered up, took out his pen and ink, and resigned himself to doing the homework assigned by his teacher.
