The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Qin looked displeased. "The businesses under my name are all managed by my servants. If Madam Qian is interested, I can send someone to inform the owner of the restaurant, and Madam Qian can go directly to the restaurant to discuss it with the owner."

Qin considered herself the legitimate daughter of a duke and the wife of a prefect. How dare a small merchant girl discuss business with her? It was simply out of character.

Yan Muxi sighed and lowered her attitude. "To be honest, I can afford to open a profitable skin care products shop thanks to the Princess of Jin. I dare not open it up to attract attention. But I have good food and dessert recipes, it would be a pity not to open a restaurant to make money. So, I want to ask for your blessing, Madam. I will provide the recipes and manpower, and Madam will help out a little, and we can make money together."

Hearing that Yan Muxi wanted to cooperate with her, Qin's heart instantly warmed up, but in order to maintain her face, she pretended not to care and said: "Silver and money are just some external things. It doesn't matter to me if there is more or less. But for the sake of Princess Jin, I can protect Madam Qian a little. I just don't know what kind of protection Madam Qian means."

Yesterday, Qin heard about the popularity of Xianzitang. She knew with her toes that Yan Muxi had made a lot of money. If a skin care product store could make money, then opening a restaurant would naturally also make money. Her half-dead restaurant might really be revived.

If she could earn enough money, she would no longer have to depend on others for her livelihood.

Yan Muxi was pleasantly surprised and said, "Madam is truly a generous and kind person. It is a blessing for me to be blessed by the poisonous man."

After smoothing Qin's mind, Yan Muxi explained his thoughts in detail and made his attitude clear.

After discussing it over, the two decided not to look for a new restaurant. Instead, they closed down the restaurant under Qin's name for reorganization and reopened it for business. Yan Muxi would provide the recipes, manpower and initial investment expenses, and they would split the profits 50-50.

When Yan Muxi returned to Xianzitang, he happened to meet the yamen runners.

The Qin family and the brothel owner who came to cause trouble wanted to smash things, but they failed because of Dongyu and Jingzhe.

Realizing they could not win, the group began to pretend to be injured, saying they were beaten and sent someone to report to the government.

"Who is Qian Sanniang?" The yamen runner asked sternly as soon as he entered the room.

Yan Muxi stepped out from behind the yamen runner and said, "I am Qian Sanniang. I wonder what instructions the magistrate has for me?"

The yamen runner snorted coldly, "The Qin family and the madam of Zui Xiang Lou have both sued you for selling poisonous cosmetics and allowing your slaves to hurt people. Come with us to the yamen!"

"Sir, do you have an arrest warrant?" Yan Muxi asked in a calm voice.

"Of course I do." The officer unfolded the arrest warrant in his hand and turned around to show it to the people around him.

"Since your Excellency has the arrest warrant, I will go with you." Yan Muxi's tone remained calm.

Seeing how calm and fearless she was, the runners did not dare to underestimate her and did not use force against her. Instead, they politely invited her to the prefectural yamen.

At the government office, Mei was massaging Magistrate Li's legs, "Are you still angry, Master?"

Li Zhifu was a fat man with a big head and big ears. He snorted, "You are really too impatient this time. Don't act rashly before you know where Qian Sanniang came from. If you hit a wall, the fortress we have built for many years will collapse in an instant."

Mei didn't agree in her heart, but she said in a flattering way: "I know I was wrong, and I will be more careful next time. But now the opportunity to test is in front of us. If Qian Sanniang is really protected by someone powerful, Master will be able to find out with just a little effort."

As a seasoned official, how could Magistrate Li not see that Mei was not convinced? He glanced at Mei unhappily and was about to open his mouth to warn her again when an attendant came in to report, "Someone is coming from the Prince of Jin's Mansion."

Magistrate Li sat up straight and quickly invited someone in.

The visitor was the chief steward of the Prince of Jin's mansion. After greeting him, he asked directly, "My princess heard that Lord Li arrested the female manager of Xianzitang. Is this true?"

Prefect Li glared at Mei and explained with a wry smile, "There was a civil dispute and vicious fight at Xianzi Hall. I just called the shopkeeper to the yamen for questioning. How can I arrest him?"

Hearing him say this, the palace steward's demeanor also became friendly, "It's good that this didn't happen! My princess heard that something happened in the skin care products shop, and hurriedly sent me to inquire about the cause. The noble ladies, concubines, and even the queen mother in Shengjing City like Xianzitang's skin care products very much. If there is an accident, the princess may not be able to explain it to Shengjing."

Li Zhifu suppressed his fear and asked with a wry smile, "Even the Empress Dowager uses Xianzitang's skin care products?"

"That's right! My princess has been close to the Queen Mother since she was in the boudoir. Of course, she would present good things to the Queen Mother first."

After sending the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion away politely, Prefect Li scolded Mei harshly.

Even the Empress Dowager in the palace used Xianzitang's skin care products. If Mei found a few low-profile people to cause trouble in the store, wouldn't that mean those people's faces were more precious than the Empress Dowager's?

With the protection of Princess Jin, Yan Muxi went to the yamen to drink a cup of tea with Prefect Li, and was then released safely.

The Qin family and the brothel owner caused trouble and prevented Xianzitang from opening for business. In addition to a public apology, they were ordered to pay 800 taels of silver in damages.

After this incident, Xianzitang became even more famous. Coupled with Yan Muxi's deliberate promotion, the concubines and the empress dowager in the palace all used Xianzitang's skin care products, and the ladies of each family were even more eager to buy them and use them.

September came in the blink of an eye. Xianzitang's business had stabilized, and the temporary packaging workshop next to the dock was operating skillfully. There were reliable managers watching over it, so Yan Muxi didn't need to worry too much.

As soon as the diamond sets for the second quarter came out, Yan Muxi sent two of them to Prince Jin's Mansion, and gave the remaining set to Qin as usual.

When Mei found out about this, she was so angry that she couldn't help but become more active.

When the shop closed in the evening, Shunzi came to report, "There have been suspicious people around the workshop at the dock in the past two days."

Yan Muxi smiled and said, "It's okay. Their masters will soon not be in the mood to support them to hang out."

On the eighth day of September, Fuqing Restaurant on Changqing Street reopened and was renamed Xiangmancheng Hotpot Restaurant.

Before Xiang Man Cheng opened for business, promotional leaflets were distributed all over the street. Even a three-year-old child memorized Xiang Man Cheng's slogan, "The fragrance fills the city, spreads to every household, and makes little kids cry with greed."

On the opening day, the aroma of the beef hotpot filled the entire Changqing Street. I don’t know if it made the little kids cry with greed, but it definitely aroused the appetite of the diners.

Winter comes early in the Ice City, and the weather is damp and cold. Eating a hot spicy beef hotpot in winter is as comfortable as heaven.

Da Phong laws do not allow slaughtering cattle and horses for meat, so the recipe for beef hot pot was not used. However, what North Vietnam has the most is cattle, horses, and sheep, and the climate is more suitable for eating hot pot. The spicy beef oil hot pot that can stimulate people's taste buds is so fragrant that it is hard not to be popular in the city.

The only reason Mei was able to surpass the main wife was her ability to make money. If Qin also had the same ability, she would lose her most important support and would no longer have the energy to think about anything else.

On the third day of Xiangmancheng's opening, Yan Muxi took Dongyu and others and left Bingcheng, heading northwest.
