Chapter 100
Madam Yang glared at him. He knew that she wanted to eat the sausages and snacks from last year. Instead of getting them for her, he told her to go to some restaurant. Was there a son like this?
Yang Sheng put down the invite and hurried away. He was scared of his mother.
Madam Yang wanted to give chase, but failed.
After returning, her eyes fell on the invitation card.
At the same time, Jin Jiao Yue was sending out invitations everywhere.
Jiang Yun Zhu's list was bought from the broker. The surnames and addresses of most wealthy businessmen in Wenxianfang were written on it.
Jin Jiao Yue didn't choose and just started delivering from the nearest household.
This household's surname was Lian. They seemed to be in the jade business. It was a wealthy household and was extremely ornately decorated. There were four strong servants in front of the door.
Seeing this, ordinary people might feel fear in their hearts, but Jin Jiao Yue didn't feel it at all . She stepped forward with a smile on her face.
She was beautiful and had a graceful air on her body. Those servants dare not underestimate her.
She took out the invite and explained her intentions.
After the servants heard this, they had weird faces. A newly opened restaurant didn't know their master and dare to give an invite to their master? What were they thinking? Their master was a well-known wealthy businessman.
They went crazy from wanting to make money?
If everyone was like this, their master was going to be too busy.
Jin Jiao Yue ignored them, "The invite has been delivered. Our store owner said that no matter who comes to the store with this invite, our restaurant would sweep the couch and welcome."
After saying this, she walked away .
A few servants were left looking at each other in blank dismay.
...
She sent the invites very quickly. Everyone reacted differently to it.
Some people thought she was whimsical and threw the invite aside, while others didn't dare to make decisions and showed the invite to their masters.
As for those masters who saw the invite. Some were attracted by the menu on the invite, while some laughed out loud, thinking that the owner of the Shiguang private restaurant was putting off mysterious air. Just take this Mrs. Song's fish soup, it wasn’t passed on to anyone. Everyone imitated Mrs. Song's method of making fish soup, but because the method wasn't authentic, no one dared to call it this name.
Wasn't she deceiving people by using this name so blatantly?
It was estimated that there was no real ability.
To even dare to send invites to their homes! They didn't know what shame was.
At this time, Jin Jiao Yue came to the door of a wealthy businessman surnamed Jing. She took out an invite and handed it to the doorkeeper. While talking to them, a young man came out of it.
The young man was wearing a plum-dyed brocade robe, only about twenty years old. He squinted at Jin Jiao Yue, looking somewhat dandy.
When he heard Jin Jiao Yue say ‘sweep the couch and welcome’, he chuckled, "I wonder what the owner of the store look like? If she looks like a fairy, I'd like to give it a try."
As he spoke, he swept Jin Jiao Yue a glance, "Madam is pretty..."
The teasing meaning in his words was too obvious. A cold light flashed in Jin Jiao Yue's eyes. If he say one more word, she would make him never be a man.
Jing Cheng Yan inexplicably felt a coldness at the base of his neck. He moved his body, trying to alleviate that feeling.
As expected, he felt better.
Looking at Jin Jiao Yue again, he was a little furious from embarrassment. He had an indescribable feeling. Maybe it was because he often gets into trouble, he had a special ability to sense a little danger. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. He was very superstitious about this feeling.
Currently his feelings told him that it's best not to mess with the woman opposite to him.
This was very unreasonable. The woman opposite was at most a restaurant server. What’s more, he was at the entrance of his family home. He could call dozens of family staff at any time. What was there to be afraid of?
But Jing Cheng Yan decided to shut up.
Seeing this, Jin Jiao Yue let him go, turned and left.
When she left, Jing Cheng Yan felt his breath suffocate in his chest and resentment brewed. At this time, he saw the invite in the servant's hand and declared with a dark face, "Bring it here for me to read."
The servant didn't dare to provoke him and respectfully handed him the invite.
Jing Cheng Yan looked at it, "What guts! Alright, I'll go and see tomorrow what they make."
Then he ordered the people behind him, "Call Cook Shang Han to join me tomorrow. If they don't do well, we’ll smash his store."
"Yes, Gentleman." The servant replied.
Jing Cheng Yan went out to do errands. Once tomorrow, he’ll go to Jiang Yun Zhu's store to make trouble.
Jin Jiao Yue left Jing's house and went to Du's house in the next street.
There happened to be a guest at the Du's house, but the servant didn't know. He went in with the invite and realized his mistake. He apologized immediately and then he wanted to leave.
"What's the matter?" Master Du asked.
The servant submitted the invite.
Master Du took the invite and laughed.
"Brother Du, why are you laughing?" Next to him, Master Luo asked.
"Just look at it and you'll know." Master Du replied. He handed the invite to Master Luo.
Master Luo received it and also laughed after reading it.
The two didn't pay attention to this matter. Instead, they remembered an event that happened two days ago. Boss Luo said."Speaking of cooking, the Bai family clearly made things difficult for us on purpose."
Just like what Jiang Yun Zhu knew before, there had always been a trend of comparing each other among the wealthy businessmen in the capital. The Bai family was a well-established wealthy businessman in the capital. There were three famous cooks and dozens of beautiful women in the family. Master Du and Master Luo were new wealthy businessmen.
Good cooks were even rarer than young and beautiful women and priceless treasures. They couldn’t be found outside as they were taken in by noble and the powerful or invited into the home of the well-established businessman. Even if it cost money, it was difficult for new businessmen like them to hire.
This was the background as well as the face of the rich businessmen.
Two days ago, the Bai family hosted a banquet for everyone. The special dishes made by the three famous cooks won unanimous praise from everyone. The Bai family stole the limelight. On the other hand, Master Du and Master Luo were a little bleak.
In particular, after eating the Bai family's banquet. It stood to reason that they should find time to return the invitation. Master Bai specifically mentioned this matter during the banquet, saying that he was looking forward to the good food from the Du family and the Luo family. This wasn't an expectation, it was clearly embarrassing them. How could the two of them not be depressed?
"Who made us inferior to him." Boss Du sighed.
Boss Luo followed suit.
The two were silent for a while. All of a sudden, Boss Luo looked at the invite.
"Brother Luo's meaning?" Boss Du asked.
"Anyway, since we're idle. What if..." Boss Luo couldn't go on talking at this point. What what it. They'd better find a good cook as soon as possible.
On the first day of opening of Jiang Yun Zhu's private restaurant, there wasn't a single customer. It was considered a precedent.
Xue Jing was milling around in the backyard in a state of anxiety. It was more uncomfortable to keep him idle than to keep him busy.
Yun Du and the others were very calm. They did whatever they had to do.
Jiang Yun Zhu was playing with Simba in the yard. Early summer was the perfect time. If one doesn't enjoy it, it would be uncomfortable when the weather gets hot.
The next morning, she decided to go to the market in person to pick out the vegetables to be used today.
After coming to the capital, she had been busy all the time and never had the chance to visit the market.
She liked to visit the market the most. As expected, the market in the capital wasn't somewhere other places could compare. Fresh sea bass, its scales were shining in the water. The cucumbers picked in the morning got dew on the top. Even seafood included lively prawns...
Jiang Yun Zhu wildly moved her index finger, wanting to eat whatever she saw.
However, the new store just opened and there were no customers. In the end, she only picked some ingredients to take home.
If there are customers, cook it for them. If not, leave it for the staff. Anyway, it won't be wasted.
As noon approached, a person finally entered the store.
Yun Du went over to greet him, but Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head.
The man was a passing scholar. He saw that Jiang Yun Zhu's restaurant was very elegantly decorated and had a special name. So he came in to have a look.
It was after looking at today's menu, his face changed.
The cheapest dish, ancient hot and sour soup, actually cost one silver liang?
For one silver liang, he could eat half a table of feast elsewhere. And that included fish and meat.
He finally knew why no one came to this store. It was a black store!
"Too deceitful!" He threw the menu on the table and said in a huff.
As long as Yun Du didn't hold a sword, he had a good temper. There was a warm smile on his face.
His reaction made the scholar ashamed. He came in by himself. No one forced him to buy it. It seemed a little too much for him to say that now.
The scholar blushed, wanting to sit down and order two dishes. In the end, he didn't make things difficult for his wallet and left in awkwardness.
"Boss, our dishes are indeed a little expensive, no?" Xue Jing asked Jiang Yun Zhu tentatively.
Thinking of their place at Wuling County, one dish was only a dozen to few dozens of wen. There was even a plate of mapo tofu that cost a few wen. Now in the capital, even if the price increases, the increase was too much.
For example, the chicken in clear soup. One dish cost dozens of liang?
This, who would eat it!
"In the future. Some people may think that we sell too cheaply." Jiang Yun Zhu respondeid.
Xue Jing didn't understand. There would be people who find it cheap?
At this time, a carriage stopped outside. A woman in her thirties, a boy in her teens, and a girl of eight or nine got out of it.
Behind the three, two servants followed.
"Mother, the name of this restaurant is so strange." The boy looked at the signboard of the restaurant and directed to the woman.
"Mother, I'm hungry!" The little girl said while holding the woman's hand.
"If it doesn't taste good, see how I’ll teach your elder brother when I go back." The woman said.
After finishing speaking, she led the boy and the little girl into the restaurant.
This woman was Yang Sheng's mother, Madam Yang. She was dubious about the menu on that invite, but she believed in her son. Since there was nothing to do today, she decided to take a look.
As soon as they entered, Jiang Yun Zhu smiled. She didn't know Madam Yang, but she knew from her attire, "Our business is here."
Xue Jing immediately regained his spirits. Really?
Yun Du went over to greet Madam Yang and seat the three of them. Then he showed them today's menu.
At this moment, Jing Cheng Yan came in from outside with a short, chubby cook and seven or eight wicked servants. He came here today to find fault.
Zheng Li Niang greeted him and invited him to go upstairs.
Soon, another came. It was Boss Luo. He was going to the east of the city today for business. On the way back, he suddenly remembered this restaurant and decided to come and have a look.
Excited to see our MC's restaurant sweep the wealthy's tastes! Thank you for the chapter!
