The vicious female supporting character who is stalked by the villain

Since the drought, Kyoto's business has been in a slump, and many restaurants and teahouses have slowly closed down.

One of the reasons is that civil and military officials complied with the call of the imperial court and did not dare to be extravagant and wasteful. Everyone gradually reduced their spending on entertainment, and business deteriorated a lot.

The second reason is that once these restaurants and teahouses open, there will always be countless refugees and beggars gathering at the door, begging for some food and water.

There are many people in Kyoto who are rich in materials, but they are not philanthropists. The materials given out for free every day are really painful to the merchants. In addition, they cannot make ends meet, so it is better to go out of business and be done with it.

During this special period, whoever continues to open the door to welcome guests is either a fool or has deep pockets.

However, Tiantianju and Liushang Qushui Building are very special. They still insist on opening their doors for two hours every day, and even offer greater discounts, giving 30% off to customers who continue to come.

Therefore, the business of Tiantianju and Liushang Qushui Building is still the best in Kyoto City. Even because of the decrease of other restaurants and teahouses, the passenger flow here has actually increased.

Those businesses that went out of business secretly resented that their business had been taken away, but they soon began to rejoice in their misfortune.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter how good the business of Tiantianju and Liushang Qushuilou is, it will not last long, just because hundreds of refugees crowd at the door every day, waiting to be given some food and water to them.

Unless the boss is extremely wealthy and has enough supplies to last for several years, they won't be able to last long and the two companies will go out of business.

But just as those merchants were looking forward to it, Tianranju actually started selling ice drinks and a kind of wine called "ale wine".

This kind of ale is modified from li wine, mixed with the aroma of malt, and has a mellow and rich taste. After drinking it, you will instantly feel refreshed and addictive.

In the dry and hot weather, drinking ale and pairing it with dishes is simply a must-have. Soon, countless drinkers in Kyoto were impressed by this unique taste of ale.

They didn't care about anything else. They sent people to Tiantianju to queue up to buy wine every day, for fear that it would be gone if they arrived late. There are also many people who take bags home and taste them slowly.

Within seven days, wine lovers throughout Kyoto were drinking ale, and demand for ale began to exceed supply.

At this time, Tiantianju started other actions.

They actually built a brewery with great fanfare, and then recruited about a hundred people from the refugees to brew professional ale, and then transported it to various predetermined mansions.

Some smart people soon figured it out.

The boss of Tianranju is really smart! This method not only gives those refugees jobs to survive, but also allows them to continue to support the ale business, making sure profits without losing money!

Shopkeeper Chen was so happy that he was incoherent, "Miss! My lady! You don't know that Tiantianju's sales have doubled rapidly in the past few days! It's too exaggerated! We can not only gain fame, but also make a lot of money!"

When shopkeeper Chen jumped up and down and excitedly shared information with him, Su Xiang just smiled.

Shopkeeper Chen was too happy too early.

This is just the beginning, beer is just the introduction, the main event is yet to come.

Within a few days, Liushang Qushuilou began to introduce a new dish - crayfish.

Spicy crayfish, garlic crayfish, spiced crayfish, salt and pepper crayfish.

Those guests were hesitant at first and did not dare to try it easily.

"This is different from the shrimp we usually eat. Can it be delicious?"

"Yeah yeah."

"But...it smells so good..."

"I'll order it! It's said that if you order one crayfish, you'll get two glasses of ale for free."

"Then I'll order it too! Ale is not that easy to buy these days!"

Most of these people went there for the ale, but when they drank the complimentary ale and slurped shrimps, they instantly felt like their lives were complete.

"Wow! This is so delicious!"

"What kind of delicacy is this?!"

"Ale and spicy crayfish are a perfect pairing!"

"I want to eat more! Another bowl!"

"Me too!"

As Su Xiang had imagined, the crayfish was welcomed by the people of Kyoto as never before, and even received unanimous praise from the dignitaries of the Cang Kingdom.

Because there were so many customers and business was so good, Liushang Qushui Building had to resume its four-hour business hours again.

Officials, rich men, children of aristocratic families, wealthy ladies, and ordinary people all fell in love with the beauty of crayfish. The entire city of Kyoto was filled with the scent of lobster.

But, no matter how much crayfish there is, it’s not enough.

Under such circumstances, Tiantianju and Liushang Qushuilou began to purchase crayfish from external sources—only for refugees. They could exchange twenty kilograms of lobster for two kilograms of grain or half a kilogram of water.

At the same time, Tiantianju and Liushang Qushuilou issued notices: they will no longer give away free food and water.

Want food and water? Okay, just go catch crayfish in exchange! There is no such thing as a free lunch forever!

The refugees had no choice but to rush out of the city to catch crayfish in various places, and then half-heartedly exchange them for crayfish.

In full view of the public, Tiantianju and Liushang Qushuilou indeed kept their promise and exchanged materials for crayfish.

The refugees couldn't help but shed a string of tears when they looked at the food and water in their hands that they had exchanged for their labor.

"That's great... We don't have to worry about whether we have something to eat today or not tomorrow..."

"If I save this food, I can eat it for several days... Wuwu... It's great, I'm not afraid of going hungry anymore..."

"The water is also very clean...and ice cold...so good, so good..."

"I'm going to catch more lobsters tomorrow...there are so many of them!"

"Yes, yes...this boss is a kind man..."

By this time, the people of Kyoto finally understood.

It turns out that the bosses of these two families did this deliberately to help these refugees.

The winery can provide jobs for the refugees to survive, and the purchase of lobsters can provide food and water to the refugees. While the refugees survive, Tiantianju and Liushang Qushui Tower will not fall down. They not only make money but also become famous.

Get it in one fell swoop!

What Su wanted to do was not hidden from everyone, and was immediately highly praised by everyone. Su Xiangguo couldn't help but say good things for her in the court, in exchange for a share of the emperor's fortune for Tiantianju and Liushang Qushui Tower. reward.

The emperor appreciated Su Xiang's kind deed. He loved calligraphy and wrote down the names of Tiantianju and Liushang Qushui Tower, made a plaque and gave it to Su Xiang.

At this time, everyone in Kyoto knew that Su Xiang, the second daughter of Su Xiangguo, was the boss behind Tiantianju and Liushang Qushui Tower!

By the time Xiao Qian understood Su Xiang's hard work, she had already shown off countless pots of crayfish and was now giving a greasy thumbs up.

"Well done to you, Su Xiang! You really have a business acumen! I admire you so much! Now that you have a plaque presented by the emperor, who would dare to bully you?"

"By the way! You don't know! How much my father likes ale, he covets it every day, but my mother-in-law thinks that my father is getting fatter and fatter, and his belly is a lot bigger, so she just won't let him drink it! How can I drink it? Poor him!"

Su Xiang smiled and said nothing, turned around and ate the shrimp meat that Lin Xue An had peeled for her in one bite.

Like a virtuous husband, Lin Xueyin asked Su Xiang with concern: "Is it delicious?"

Su Xiang nodded, "It's delicious!"

Lin Xue secretly stared at Su trying to eat the shrimp meat, her dark eyes were deep, and she turned around to continue peeling the shrimp.

Fang Muxi sat nearby and took in this scene. Then he glanced at Xiao Xian, who was still fighting the crayfish with his head down, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

"Same people but different fates..."

He wanted to peel shrimps for Xiao Xian, but it was a pity that he didn't appreciate it...

Lin Xue secretly glanced at his useless appearance, curved her lips with pride, and sneered slightly.

"It's worthless."

Fang Muxi's expression suddenly froze.

But he turned around and saw that the future king was busy peeling shrimps for Su Xiang with his head lowered like his little wife, with a proud look on his face, and his expression became complicated again.

Ahem...there are some things you can't say because if you say them you'll die...
