Chapter 107: Planning on Han 11
In the accounting office of Kyoto Yunlai Restaurant, listening to the news heard by his subordinates, Manager Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and asked.
"I found out that it is true. The dishes invented by the peasant woman have made Ping'an Town rank first in sales for several months in a row."
"I've found out, and it's true..."
Because the turnover of Kyoto Restaurant has been ranked second for several consecutive months, Manager Wang knows that if the business of Kyoto Restaurant is still surpassed by Ping'an Town at the end of the year, his career as a manager will be over.
In his opinion, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and the young master Yun Xiao had wanted to replace him a long time ago. However, the business of Kyoto Restaurant has always been good, and he is an elder of the Yun family, so he has no excuse.
Now the restaurant's business has been surpassed by that of a restaurant in a remote town for several months in a row. Naturally, he had an excuse, so Manager Wang sent people to Ping'an Town to investigate what the reason was.
Of course he knew Manager Tong. He was not very smart, so he would not believe that he was the one who built up the restaurant's business. But now he heard the report from the servants that it was because of a peasant woman, which made him even more confused.
Because in his opinion, not to mention the peasant women, even the ladies in Kyoto are just some women with long hair and little knowledge. Even if they can cook a few dishes, I won't let them do it for several months in a row.
"Have you tried the dishes in that restaurant? How do they taste..."
"this……".
Seeing that Manager Wang had an unhappy expression on his face, the servant hesitated to speak.
"Tell the truth..."
"I tried it. Many of their dishes are fried with a special ingredient. The waiter said that it's called chili pepper. It not only tastes good, but also goes well with wine and rice. Especially now they have a signature dish called, oh, chopped pepper fish head, and the taste is..."
As he spoke, the servant subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Seeing the cold eyes of the person opposite him, he quickly lowered his head again.
"The special ingredient is called chili..."
"Yes, I specifically asked their guy and he said that the red stuff in there is called chili pepper..."
Hearing the servant's words, Shopkeeper Wang remembered the barbecue ingredients from before. That barbecue had greatly boosted the restaurant's business. It was said that the barbecue ingredients were brought from Ping'an Town by the young master, so it was not surprising that they had new ingredients.
Just because of this, Shopkeeper Wang became very interested in the peasant woman mentioned by his servants. He wanted to know where this person came from. If he could use her in the future, maybe he could set up his own business and would not have to continue to be a "slave" in Yunlai. Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Wang's eyes were surprisingly bright.
After dinner, Han Yiyi led a few people to the blacksmith shop to get a pot, and then bought some daily necessities. Then he led a few people back home. When they arrived at the village entrance, they saw many women standing under the big tree at the entrance and chatting.
Han Yiyi really admired these people. In this freezing cold winter, they could still chat so enthusiastically. As she got closer, she heard them talking about the Huang family getting a new daughter-in-law tomorrow...
Hearing that the Huang family was going to marry a new daughter-in-law, Han Yiyi couldn't help but sigh, wondering which unlucky woman would jump into the fire pit again.
Since Huang Dachuan and his father both had skills, their family conditions were not bad. This was also the reason why they paid eight taels of silver to marry Wang Yaner. Moreover, in this era when the status of women was so low, as long as the betrothal gift was sufficient, there was no need to worry about not being able to find a wife.
Now that he had a pot, Han Yiyi planned to make hot pot in the evening. Because there were not many vegetables here in winter, the most common one was cabbage. Han Yiyi's hot pot was mainly meat. The soup base was for the three of them, so Han Yiyi gave them chicken soup, and he ate spicy hot pot alone. Eating a spicy hot pot in a slightly warm house in winter was really comfortable.
There is no nightlife here at night, and it is freezing cold, so after eating, they went to bed.
Originally, Han Yiyi was still worried about the woman marrying into the Huang family. However, early in the morning, when Han Yiyi had just gotten up and had not yet washed up, she heard Aunt Zhang's voice outside the door.
"One by one, one by one, it's time to get up..."
Han Yiyi heard Aunt Zhang's anxious voice and thought something had happened, so she hurried to open the door. But as soon as the door opened, she saw Aunt Zhang's excited expression.
"Come on, come on, follow me to the Huang family to watch the fun..."
Han Yiyi heard that the Huang family was bustling, but what could be so lively in the Huang family? Could it be that the new daughter-in-law was bullied by the old woman Huang as soon as she came in? But Han Yiyi opened her mouth to ask, and then she heard Aunt Zhang continue.
"The newly married daughter-in-law of the Huang family is fighting with Huang's wife. It is said that the fight is very fierce. Hurry, let's go and see what's going on. Don't wait until they stop fighting, otherwise we won't be able to see it..."
Han Yiyi: ...I thought to myself, Aunt Zhang loves to watch the fun and read gossip.
In fact, it was because in the past it was always the old woman Huang who bullied her daughter-in-law. Now there was someone who dared to fight with her, so everyone naturally wanted to see how the old woman Huang would be humiliated.
It was cold, so the two little ones were a bit reluctant to get up, so they hadn't gotten up yet. However, there was nothing to do after getting up, so Han Yiyi just went with them. So she went out directly with Aunt Zhang, but just as she left the house, she found that there was someone following her.
"Yuan'er, do you want to go with us?"
"Um……".
Han Yiyi: ...This brain is broken, but it doesn't stop him from enjoying the fun. Since Nangong Yuan is also going with them, Han Yiyi turned around and locked the door.
When they arrived at the Huang family's house, there was already a circle of people gathered in the yard. Aunt Zhang pulled Han Yiyi in and found a place with a good view to watch.
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still pulling each other's hair, and Huang Dachuan on the side was running around anxiously, pulling his mother and then pulling his new daughter-in-law, but he couldn't pull either of them apart, and could only stand by and worry.
Huang's father, who was not far away, was squatting on the ground, smoking cigarettes one after another. Seeing that more and more people were coming into the yard, he felt embarrassed and walked out without caring about anything.
Huang Dachuan saw this and hurriedly shouted.
"Dad, where are you? Come and help me...", but Huang's father ignored him and walked away.
You can't blame him for ignoring them. He had just tried to persuade them, but not only did neither of them listen to him, he was also affected and received a big slap from Old Lady Huang. So he just let them fight...
