"If only earlier..."
"I won't be reconciled. When he inherits the Hou Mansion... the future Madam Hou should be mine."
"But the engagement has been broken off, and I have nothing left..."
Some people regret it, some people are happy.
I looked down upon you in the past, but you can’t reach me today.
But this is also an opportunity for others.
Soon, Gu Xue received a thank you gift from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
There are also invitations to the banquet.
On the day of the banquet, Gu Xue and Xiao Jingyi were naturally guests.
No one thought too much.
They are busy gaining favor with the Liu family and striving to become in-laws.
When the ministers and their families learned that General Liu recovered from his illness because of Gu Xue's treatment.
Suddenly, everyone wanted to ask Gu Xue to see a doctor.
But how could the future Ninth Prince and Concubine treat just anyone?
Gu Xue ignored these.
Qilixiang in Yingzhou previously opened many branches.
Many state capitals have Qilixiang hotpot restaurants.
Beijing is no exception.
Qilixiang hotpot is also very popular in Beijing.
Gu Xue has been going to Qilixiang shop every day these days.
The first floor is the lobby and the second floor is the private rooms.
The third floor is where offices are located.
Gu Xue usually checks the account books in the workroom on the third floor.
After checking the accounts, I went to the kitchen.
After walking around for a while, she asked someone to bring a cook she had bought before.
The cook never married and spent time in the palace when she was young.
After leaving the palace, he worked as a cook in a restaurant.
Because of his introverted temperament, he was ostracized by others.
Her daughter was attracted by an official's son and planned to take her back by force.
After being rescued by Gu Xue, the mother and daughter were taken care of by Gu Xue.
Gu Xue bought them and accepted the deed of sale.
After Gu Xue learned that she could make some pastries, he taught her how to make cakes.
So he took her to Qilixiang Restaurant.
"You will be responsible for making cakes from now on."
"Thank you, Princess. I will do a good job and make the cake well-made, so that the cake will be famous in the capital."
Gu Xue arranged for her to live in a wing in the backyard of Qilixiang. Her daughter was also there. The two of them made cakes together, with her daughter helping.
A few days later, Qilixiang Restaurant in Beijing launched a dessert in addition to hot pot.
That is cake.
The cake was produced and became popular in the capital for a while.
The ladies and ladies in the capital all flocked to Qilixiang.
Because Qilixiang’s cakes are not sold alone, they are only sold as desserts after meals.
As a result, Qilixiang’s hotpot sales have increased significantly.
Because they have been eating hot pot for several months, the appeal of hot pot is not particularly strong.
Many people go to eat hot pot just to have a bite of cake.
In order to enjoy a bite of cake.
Other restaurants, pastry shops, all imitated.
However, no matter how they tried, they could not make a cream cake like Qilixiang.
Many people have tried to become a cook, but naturally they have failed.
Not to mention that the contract of prostitution is in the hands of the Ninth Princess, and she is the servant of the Ninth Princess.
Furthermore, the cook is of decent character and Gu Xue saved her daughter. She is naturally grateful and will not betray her.
Even if someone forces you, don't forget that if you offend the Ninth Prince, you will suffer a lot.
Because people discovered that the four girls who had offended Gu Xue at the flower viewing party before.
Their fathers were all convicted.
In the most serious case, the men were beheaded and the women were sent to the Jiaofang Division.
There are also those who were dismissed from office, packed up and left the capital to return to their hometowns.
Everyone speculated that it was the Ninth Prince who did it to stand up for the princess and bring bad luck to those who had offended her.
They don't want to be unhappy, so they just give up.
Qilixiang Hot Pot Restaurant's revenue has reached a higher level because of the advent of cream cake.
Not only the female relatives like to eat it, but many elders will eat it from a pot and taste the deliciousness of the cake after leaving office.
"Let's launch a birthday reservation in the future."
"If someone in your family has a birthday, you can order a cake in advance. The birthday cake can be purchased separately or delivered."
"In addition, we will launch several smaller cakes so that ordinary people can have a few bites."
"The small-sized early adopters can be sold alone without being sold with hot pot, but they are only sold to ordinary people."
After Gu Xue finished speaking, the cook's daughter frowned slightly.
Soon, she asked a question.
"Princess, what if those noble ladies rush to buy small portions of early adopters?"
"That way, ordinary people won't be able to eat."
Gu Xue shook her head: "Probably not. Those noble ladies care most about face."
"If their little sisters knew that they were competing for food with common people, they would be too embarrassed to go out."
Gu Xue thought for a moment and then continued.
"How about this? Let your mother stay in Qilixiang's kitchen and make cakes."
"How about I reopen a cake shop, selling only cakes, and let you be the shopkeeper?"
"Really, that's great. Thank you, Princess. I will definitely live up to your expectations." The cook's daughter patted her chest to express her loyalty.
Within half a month, Gu Ji Cake Shop was opened.
People try to go in and buy a piece or two to try.
It turned out that Gu Ji’s cake was the same as the one from Qilixiang Restaurant.
Only then did they know that Gu Ji was also driven by the princess.
Everyone can finally have a simple taste of cake.
One day, the Minister of Punishment went out after leaving the office.
On the way, he was seen by the Minister of Rites.
As the two chatted, they discovered that they had the same destination.
They all go to Gu Ji Cake Shop.
"I bought this for my daughter. She loves cakes. She couldn't buy them before and had to go to hot pot to buy cakes. Now it's more convenient."
"I bought it for my wife, she likes it too."
The two of them made a tacit understanding, bought something, and left.
If the cake shop hadn't been extraordinarily big and prepared so many cakes every day, there wouldn't be enough for people to buy.
In the early stage, in order to let more people buy cakes, purchase restrictions were also implemented.
Even the nobles in the palace sent their father-in-law out to buy cakes.
The concubines wanted to call the cake maker into the palace.
However, they were afraid of offending the Ninth Prince, so they just thought about it and no one dared to take action.
During this period of time in the capital, Gu Xue was busy doing business and doing accounts.
Counting money every day, living a very fulfilling life.
On this day, Xiao Jingyi entered the palace.
He took two porcelain bottles from Gu Xue, which were filled with spiritual spring water.
"Father, General Liu was indeed cured by Xue'er. When she was in Yingzhou, her medical skills were unparalleled."
"She dedicated this to His Majesty."
Xiao Jingyi held two porcelain bottles in his hands.
The eunuch took it and placed it in front of the emperor.
The emperor picked up a porcelain bottle. It didn't feel very heavy and shook it gently.
Xiao Jingyi added: "It contains the potion she developed."
"At critical moments, it can save lives."
"General Liu also drank this that day."
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes brightened.
Doesn't this mean that people who are on the line between life and death have only one breath left, and drinking this potion can save their lives.
That being said, it is indeed a good thing.
Good things that can save your life should be well hidden.
"You and her, you two are interested." The emperor was moved.
