Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Outside a restaurant in the south of Kyoto.

When Gu Chan followed Zuo Yun here, the restaurant had just opened. There were only a few waiters inside cleaning the place, and the middle-aged male shopkeeper was standing behind the counter counting the bills.

As soon as the two walked in, the shopkeeper came forward and said, "Master, Prince Chan, why are you here so early?"

"I haven't had breakfast yet. Hurry up and ask someone to prepare morning tea. Everything should continue as usual." Zuo Yun waved his hand and ordered.

The shopkeeper nodded in agreement and immediately went to tell the kitchen to prepare.

Zuo Yun took Gu Chan to a small table near the window and sat down. Then the two of them sat there and waited quietly.

After a while, breakfast was served.

Gu Chan didn't take it seriously at first, but when she saw the breakfast that was served, which turned out to be the familiar steamed buns, steamed dumplings, steamed buns and other foods, her eyes suddenly lit up and her appetite was whetted.

Zuo Yun smiled and said, "Eat quickly! Have a taste of our hometown."

"Yes!" Gu Chan agreed, and immediately picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks and put it in her mouth and started chewing.

While tasting it, she exclaimed, "It really has the flavor of southern morning tea! It's so delicious. This is the first time in such a long time that I have eaten food that is so close to the southern flavor of our hometown."

After saying this, tears welled up in Gu Chan's eyes and she felt a surge of longing for her hometown.

Zuo Yun ate slowly and leisurely. "I'm from the south. After I came here, I couldn't get used to the food here, so I invested money to open this Nianxiang Restaurant. I also taught them to cook southern food. But I don't know why, the business of this restaurant has not been very good."

"Nonsense, the food in the south is bland, and the capital of Tiancang Kingdom is located in the northern part of this world. The weather is relatively cold and humid. People here like to eat strong and spicy food. It would be strange if you open a southern food restaurant and do good business." Gu Chan said unhappily.

"That's true. It just means that southern cuisine is not popular here. If it were brought to the Jiangnan area, it would probably make a lot of money." Zuo Yun sighed.

Before, he had sneaked to Jiangnan with Zuo Wangfeng and got to know the local customs and practices of the Jiangnan area. The situation there was just like the south of the world they lived in before, which was relatively warmer and the food was lighter in taste. Southern delicacies like this would definitely go well there.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "How about this, let's form a partnership. I'll teach your chefs how to make our southwestern cuisine, such as hot pot, spicy chicken, stir-fried kidneys, etc., so that people in the Kyoto area of ​​Tiancang Kingdom can taste the southwestern cuisine of our hometown."

"Okay! Those who like spicy food can eat southwestern flavors, and those who like light food can eat southern flavors. If the business is good, we can make a steady profit every month!" Zuo Yun slapped the table and instantly became interested.

"Tsk! You are not cut out for business. If you want to make money, you have to listen to me." Gu Chan said while eating.

Zuo Yun was unconvinced and said, "Why, are you good at business?"

"It's not that great, but the clinic I opened in Zhongyuan City is now very famous and makes a lot of money every month. I used to sell sanitary napkins, and now I have opened many Nine Dimensions chain stores across the country. To be honest, if I hadn't met this unlucky prince, I could have returned to Zhongyuan City a long time ago and sat there collecting money." Gu Chan said calmly.

Zuo Yun's eyes widened in surprise. He really didn't expect that Gu Chan was so business-minded and could make such a big business in Tiancang Country.

Gu Chan added, "Do you know that the Yaoduoduo merchant ship I built in Jiangnan is now very popular in the Jiangnan area. On the huge Tiancang River, everyone knows the reputation of my Great Huaxia."

"Awesome! I'm convinced. I'll listen to you. Just tell me what to do!" Zuo Yun said, completely convinced.

Gu Chan stared at the door and said, "If we want to form a partnership, the first step is to change the name of your store. Look at the sign hanging at the door. It says Xiang Restaurant? It doesn't sound very classy. You need to use something high-sounding so that the ancients in this world can't understand it. Then they will help you promote it."

"Ah? How can you help with promotion if you don't understand it?" Zuo Yun said puzzledly.

"You are stupid! If they don't understand, they will ask! Then the word will spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and everyone will know it, right? Don't be afraid that they don't understand, be afraid that they do understand." Gu Chan said with a smirk.

"Hahaha……"

Zuo Yun was immediately amused by her and burst into laughter.

Gu Chan said with a shrewd businessman's face, "In my opinion, you should change the name of your restaurant to 'Shui Di Lao', and then copy the service of Da Hua Xia Hai Di Lao. This will save trouble and brains. As long as you do well in the future, I guarantee that it won't be long before this restaurant can open chain restaurants in major cities across the country. By then, even if you sit at home every day, you can make a lot of money."

"This is not good! Isn't it an infringement of rights?" Zuo Yun said with a grin.

"Just invade if you want! There's nothing to be afraid of! We have traveled to this ancient world. Can Haidilao send a team of lawyers to Tiancang Kingdom to sue us?" Gu Chan said with a strange smile.

If she hadn't traveled through time, she really wouldn't have dared to do this, but now that she has traveled through time, there's nothing to be afraid of!

Zuo Yun laughed and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. After we finish eating, I will call the shopkeeper over and ask him to change the name of the store, and then use the same tricks as Haidilao."

"Well, I'll eat first, and you go and call a meeting for them and ask them to upgrade the restaurant's services. This way, when we come back from the palace, we can enjoy the service first, point out their shortcomings, and then ask them to improve." Gu Chan said.

Zuo Yun nodded in agreement and immediately went to gather everyone in the restaurant for a meeting.

Gu Chan sat there and continued eating.

Of course, she also had to admit that the chefs taught by Zuo Yun were indeed very intelligent, and the food they made tasted pretty much the same as the food in southern China.

It’s a pity that people in the Kyoto area of ​​Tiancang Kingdom don’t like bland food, which results in this restaurant not being well-known and not making much money.

If this reform goes smoothly, Gu Chan believes that the business will definitely get better and better. Then she will be able to get a share of the money every month and will not be afraid of having no money to spend.

After all, she came to Kyoto, and it was unlikely for her to live a good life relying only on the little salary given by the court every month. Now that she had the opportunity to make money, she would naturally not let it go easily.

Half an hour later, Zuo Yun handed over the reform matters.

Everyone in the restaurant became busy, and the two of them got up and left, heading for the palace.
