Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Cheng Wenwen developed oden and gave the recipe to He. As soon as the oden arrived at the store, it was very popular. The store was basically full of people and long queues formed.

Business is picking up again and Cheng Wenwen no longer has to worry about making money.

However, in line with the principle of not revealing the secret recipe, He personally makes the oden soup base every day and then sells it in the store.

Every day, He had to take care of the ingredients for grilled sausages and cook the oden soup base. Cheng Wenwen felt that she was having a hard time, so she said, "Mother He, you don't have to serve me anymore. You can just..."

"Miss, what did I do wrong? Do you want me to leave?" He asked with a frown.

Cheng Wenwen hurriedly said, "No, I was afraid that you would be tired, so I thought that you should focus on business matters in the future!"

He heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this and said, "I'm not tired. This is nothing. I've done more tiring work before!"

Who hasn't worked their way up from a maidservant to their current position? He's job is just to manage the recipes and the account books, which is already very easy.

Cheng Wenwen, however, is not a boss who oppresses her employees. She said directly, "Mother He, you still have to train some trustworthy people to help you, otherwise you will be so tired!"

Cheng insisted, "Miss, I'm not tired, and I don't feel comfortable handing this recipe over to someone else!"

He was also thinking for herself, so Cheng Wenwen told Pei'er: "From now on, you will take care of the recipes, and Mother He will focus on the accounts. Pei'er is always trustworthy."

Pei Er said: "But Miss, if I leave, who will serve you?"

"Aren't there Xiaolan and Xiaodie?"

Xiaolan and Xiaodie, who were waiting outside the door, were immediately happy. If they could become the lady's personal maids, they would be first-class maids, with more monthly wages and more face.

Pei Er pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I have served the young lady for so long, I don't feel at ease if someone else serves the young lady."

Cheng Wenwen smiled: "What are you worried about?"

"Anyway, I just feel uneasy."

After all, Pei'er has been with her for more than ten years, and Cheng Wenwen no longer treats her as a maid.

"You can't serve me forever, right? You and Mother He are the only ones I trust here, so it's a good opportunity for you to gain some experience."

Seeing that the lady insisted, Pei'er had no choice but to say, "Okay..."

After the work was assigned, Cheng Wenwen lay down again. Who wouldn't be happy to lie down? Occasionally planting vegetables and eating something delicious, this life is so happy.

Except... Na Qishuo would come to have dinner with me every day.

Cheng Wenwen felt very uncomfortable.

Cheng Wenwen felt a little depressed after coming here for three consecutive days. She and Qi Shuo rarely said a few words to each other and they sat face to face, which was so awkward. She really couldn't stand it anymore.

In order to quickly divert Qi Shuo's attention from herself, Cheng Wenwen thought of a way.

In the mansion, she was more familiar with Zhang Yan, so she invited Zhang Yan to go shopping together.

Girls love to go shopping together, so Zhang Yan agreed immediately. The next day, she dressed up beautifully and went out with Cheng Wenwen.

"Where are we going?"

Cheng Wenwen shook her head: "I'm not very familiar with Shanzhou City, how about you recommend one?"

"Then let's go shopping on Pauline Street! Many shops have recently put in new fabrics, and summer is coming, so I need to make some clothes."

Speaking of shopping, Zhang Yan became very excited, and Cheng Wenwen also felt happy when she saw her pretty face.

"Why haven't I seen you go out recently? I was thinking of inviting you to my yard to play!" Cheng Wenwen asked her.

Zhang Yan sighed, "The general has been visiting your courtyard quite often recently, so I'd better not disturb him, lest I steal your favor!"

Although Zhang Yan didn't like Cheng Wenwen at first, as they got to know each other better, she felt that Cheng Wenwen was a simple person and easy to get along with, so she no longer wanted to fight with her.

She and the general are about to get married, so you'd better not try to ruin their relationship.

Cheng Wenwen looked at her nonchalant expression and asked in confusion, "Aren't you jealous that Qi Shuo came to my place?"

Zhang Yan snorted and said, "Why are you jealous? Men all have three wives and four concubines. If everyone is jealous, then I will die of jealousy, right?"

"I thought you liked Qi Shuo very much!" After all, she had seen Zhang Yan always getting close to Qi Shuo before.

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "I like the general's face, and I also like the general's money. It's a pity that he doesn't respond to me. No matter how good-looking his face is, it's useless. I still only like money."

Cheng Wenwen felt that Zhang Yan was very clear-headed and she admired her a little in her heart.

"You are a few years younger than me, so I will pass on some of my experience to you!"

Cheng Wenwen nodded: "You talk, I'm listening."

"Don't pay too much attention to men. When he is in front of us, you should show your admiration for him, make him happy, and gain benefits from him. When he is not in front of us, we should live our own lives. Don't be like those nagging women, who are petty and full of complaints and live a dull life."

"That makes sense!" Cheng Wenwen nodded, agreeing with Zhang Yan's words.

Although Zhang Yan was just a concubine, she lived a beautiful and sober life, and she led a good life, which was admirable.

"But... the general may not be very..."

Not very good. Zhang Yan didn't say anything.

Looking at Cheng Wenwen with an innocent face, she frowned and seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she didn't know what to say.

"What do you want to say?" Cheng Wenwen asked puzzledly.

"Hey...you'll feel it yourself when the time comes...Anyway, don't worry about what men do, just live your life well."

Zhang Yan successfully aroused Cheng Wenwen's curiosity. She pulled her arm and asked, "What is it? Explain it clearly!"

"You'll know when the time comes."

Cheng Wenwen looks like a young girl who has not experienced the world. Zhang Yan can't tell her that the person she is going to marry is not so good in that aspect, right?

But even if the general is not able to do it, Cheng Wenwen has already entered the house, and the wedding is said to be in preparation, so she can't run away? Telling her now will only make her worry.

Zhang Yan sighed in her heart and said, let’s talk about it later.

Cheng Wenwen twisted her for a long time, but she refused to let go, so Cheng Wenwen had to give up.

The carriage arrived at Baolin Street, which was mostly filled with ready-made clothing and cloth shops, or shops selling pearls, hairpins and jewelry, and was a place mostly visited by women.

Cheng Wenwen took Zhang Yan's hand and went into a clothing store together.

"Let me tell you, the tailors here are very skilled. You can make two nice sets of clothes today."

Zhang Yan felt a little uncomfortable seeing Cheng Wenwen dressed simply every day.

This woman must live beautifully.

So, Cheng Wenwen was dragged by Zhang Yan to make clothes, buy hairpins and rings, and also bought rouge and perfume. The two of them returned home with a lot of things and had a very enjoyable half-day shopping.

But when it was time to return home, Cheng Wenwen almost forgot her plan.

"Zhang Yan, why don't you come to my place for dinner tonight?"

Zhang Yan looked at Cheng Wenwen in surprise: "Isn't the general going to your place? Why would I go there?"

Cheng Wenwen immediately put on a weak look and said, "I'm a little afraid of him, why don't you stay with me from now on!"

Zhang Yan suddenly laughed after hearing this: "What's so scary about the general?"

Zhang Yan thought about it and felt that the general seemed to be nothing scary except for that aspect.
