Old Mrs. Bai was holding a jar in her hand. She was trembling as she walked, and there was a possibility that she might fall down at any time.
"Grandma Bai, why did you come here in person? Just call me if you need anything!" Su Yining hurriedly supported the old man, fearing that something might happen to him.
"Princess, what are you talking about? The old woman can do something for you, that's what she should do!" She said and sat on the stone bench on the side.
"Do you think this is the food you are talking about? My grandma gave it to me. After so many years... I don't know if it is good or not."
A few days ago, Su Yining mentioned a delicious food, which is chicken feet with pickled peppers!
She thought about it, if she wanted to make money, she would maximize the profits, break the chickens apart and sell them so that she could sell them for more money.
When she opened the jar, there was a sweet and spicy smell. This taste was chicken feet with pickled peppers. She couldn't wait to reach up and take a piece.
"Hmm!! Hmm!! It's delicious! This is the taste." Su Yining gave a thumbs up while gnawing on the chicken feet.
"Grandma Bai, you are such a treasure! It is true that every old man in the family has a treasure! You guys should come over and have a try!" In a moment, the small jar of pickled pepper and chicken feet was gone.
Su Yining licked her fingers with unfinished content and looked at the jar pitifully. She regretted sharing it with others. She hadn't eaten enough yet...
"Princess, the best thing the old woman has heard in her life is what you said. I have met many people in this life, and you are also the best. Don't worry, as long as the old woman is here, I will make more delicious food for you.
"
After a lifetime of wandering around, Old Mrs. Bai was finally recognized by others. No matter outsiders said the princess was crazy or stupid, she felt that those people were just jealous.
With trembling hands full of age spots, she took out a piece of yellowed paper from her arms and handed it to Su Yining tremblingly.
"This is the recipe for making hot sauce. I wrote it all down."
The most surprising thing is that she is literate. I don’t know why she was reduced to being sold...
Opening the yellowed paper, you will see lines of beautiful fonts.
…
At the same time, Yipinxian's business was extremely booming. All new and old customers came to support it. Su Yining's restaurant business immediately became cold.
Because of the low prices, people still prefer to come to Su Kee to buy some food.
The waiter looked at Su Zhi, who was indifferent to business across the street, and smiled: "Shopkeeper, did you do a good job? This time you have to reward me."
Zhao Hanggui smiled good-naturedly, hit the waiter on the head and sneered: "You are really a little thorn, you did a good job in this matter, I will give you an extra penny this month!"
The popularity of Yipinxian didn't last for a few days, business became cold, and shopkeeper Zhao couldn't stand it anymore.
Angrily, he grabbed the waiter's collar and said with a ferocious smile: "Tell me, what on earth is going on!?"
"Shopkeeper, I don't know. I told the cook everything I know. He can't blame me if he doesn't do well!" The waiter's eyebrows were aggrieved, and his face turned into a bitter melon.
Zhao Hanggui rushed to the kitchen and saw the cooks frowning and sighing. There were many sauces and returned dishes on the kitchen table.
When the cooks saw the angry shopkeeper, they immediately put on their sad faces and sighed: "Here you are, shopkeeper, the recipe for this bunch is wrong!"
"No, especially since we don't have a recipe for this sauce at all! Also, the method of marinating the meat is wrong. Whatever the hell the kid did, it's all wrong!"
They won't admit their incompetence, they can only say that the recipe waiter got it wrong.
They have been selling this product for so many years. When did they need to develop it themselves? All they have to do is bring over what others have researched.
"Can't you be of some use? You can't study this thing? What do you want to eat!?" Zhao Hanggui's face was gloomy, and he didn't like anything about these cooks.
"Hey, shopkeeper, you also know what we are like, so I'll ask you to find a way to get the formula. We will definitely do well by then!"
The cooks are used to sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor, so they don't feel the slightest sense of guilt when making such requests, with a lewd smile on their expressions.
Why doesn't Zhao Hanggui not think so? It's just because Su Yining is the princess that it's hard to attack, but a palace without a prince is nothing in his eyes.
He still had to ask the head of the family for advice on this matter, so he packed up his thoughts and returned to the Zhao family...
Zhanwangfu, Dongyuan.
"Princess, you are right, business has recovered again." Chen Zhong held the account book in his hand and carefully wrote and drew, recording recent events.
Su Yining understands the truth that flowers are not always popular, and people are not good enough. In the future, business may become colder, and the only way to maintain the flow of people is to release new products every now and then.
"This is fresh now. I'll have enough in a few days. Business will be quieter by then, so I'll just research some new foods."
She set her sights on braised food, especially duck food, which is a long-lasting delicacy in modern times. Egg pancakes and grilled cold noodles are all included, which are cheap and filling.
She did not set the goal of making money on the rich, but on the common people. Looking at the entire capital, how many dignitaries can there be? Isn't it because there are so many common people?
"Steward Chen, can't you just smile?" His face was gloomy and serious even though business was good, which made her nervous.
"Princess, you don't know something. The boss behind Yipinxin is the Zhao family. The Zhao family is one of the four imperial merchants. They are mainly responsible for the sale of grain and restaurants. They have businesses all over the country."
"But they are not decent people. They are used to snatching and taking things for themselves. Since our business is better than theirs, we are bound to do some tricks."
Chen Zhong has been around the capital for many years, so he naturally knows the dirty things about the Zhao family. Nowadays, the Zhan Palace is weak, and the business competition has always been bloody.
"Small trick?" Su Yining's eyes lit up. Wasn't this someone coming to give money again?
"Princess, there is no prince in the palace now... The emperor will not take action in matters such as business, and the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family is related by marriage to the prime minister of the dynasty."
Chen Zhong explained the relationship between these people. The most troublesome thing is the eldest prince. As long as he doesn't do anything inappropriate, then... he will definitely become the prince in the future.
Su Yining also understood the reason. She narrowed her eyes slightly. No matter who in the Jun family became the emperor, they would be disadvantageous to the palace. If they could lose one point, their combat effectiveness would also be reduced by one point.
"Ahem, Butler Chen, let me ask you something."
"Huh?" Chen Zhong looked confused.
"Do you know where the Zhao family's treasury is? Or the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion..." Su Yining smiled amiably and innocently, as if he was just asking casually.
