The Palace of the Earl of Zhongyong and the Palace of the Marquis of Dingbei disappeared in the capital.

After the two families were exiled, Shi Lidie felt that the air in the capital was much cleaner. After all, there were not so many blind people who came to embarrass her.

As the only princess with a fiefdom, Shi Lidie's actual status is higher than that of princesses and princes.

After the third prince was imprisoned and the fifth prince was disabled, the younger princes, under the instruction of their own mothers, came to Shi Lidie to get close to her, wanting to develop feelings with her in the hope of gaining some benefits.

Therefore, during this period of time, there were always all kinds of people coming and going around Shi Lidie, which disrupted her originally quiet and regular life and made her a little annoyed.

After finally dealing with those people, the second princess came again.

"Xiao Die!" The second princess ran over to greet Shi Lidie, "It's been so hard to see you during this period. Every time I came, you either went to the palace or had guests at home."

Shi Lidie sighed:

"If I could, I would rather be the princess without a fiefdom before, with money and free time. Now that I have real power, everyone comes to me to ask me to do things for them."

"Some family members' nephews and nephews who committed crimes and were banished to remote areas begged me to take them in on my fiefdom, and some even asked me if I wanted to form an alliance with them. I was really impressed..."

The second princess couldn't help but smile as she listened to Shi Lidie's complaints, then patted her on the back:

"Alright, alright, ignore those people. I have something serious to discuss with you today."

"What serious matter?" Shi Lidie was curious. "You just got married not long ago. Now is the time when you are newlyweds and in love. What can you ask me for? Did Liu Luping bully you?"

The second princess blushed and gently hit Shi Lidie before saying:

"No, stop teasing me. I came here today to ask you if you are interested in doing business together."

When Shi Lidie heard about doing business, she immediately became interested:

"You want to do business with me? You're a princess, do you want to do business too?"

The second princess smiled and explained:

"Princess, you can't just sit there and live off your savings. Although I have a dowry, I also have to consider my descendants, right? Liu Lang's family of three has barely settled down in the capital. What I have to do is to help them take root so that their descendants will have more choices."

"Although I have lived in the princess's mansion these days, I have also been with Liu Lang's parents. They are very good people and are good at business. They have helped you manage the tavern in an orderly manner. I feel that I can actually follow this path."

"I have a few shops as a dowry, near your tavern. They were originally engaged in the business of preserved fruits and candied fruits, but there are many such businesses in the capital, and my shop is not very profitable."

"So I thought of changing it up. The food you served at the last banquet was really good, delicious and novel. I think if I sell it, it will definitely be popular."

"Those who have eaten in your house before will definitely want to eat it a second or third time. I have seen that your food has a unique recipe and it is impossible to copy it easily. If they want to eat it, they can only buy it from us. And those who have never eaten it but have rich families will definitely flock to it when they see that the young ladies in the capital love to eat it."

"By then, won't our shop make a lot of money?"

Shi Lidie listened to the Second Princess's long speech and thought it made sense, so she nodded:

"It's indeed a good idea."

"So, you agree?" The second princess was surprised.

"We can do business together, but Second Princess, let us be clear in advance. Brothers must settle accounts clearly. We have to plan our rights and obligations and decide on a profit-sharing method to prevent the possibility of falling out in the future over profit distribution." Shi Lidie said.

The second princess is a good person. She is her second recognized friend in the capital besides Chen Shuting.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to doing business with friends. The advantage is that in the early stages of the business, the two of you can be of one mind and work together. The disadvantage is that it is easy for the relationship to be worn out by various trivial matters during the process, and you may also break up due to uneven distribution of benefits.

The second princess laughed when she heard this:

"I knew that Princess Yun'an was a down-to-earth person. I had thought about all this before I came to you. This is the charter I wrote. If you find anything inappropriate that needs to be changed, just tell me directly."

"You have experience in business, and you know a lot more than me. I will follow your instructions."

As she spoke, the second princess took a few pieces of paper from the maid behind her and handed them to Shi Lidie.

Both the Emperor and the Empress thought highly of the Second Princess and did not look down on her just because her biological mother was of humble status, which showed that she had some abilities.

At least she knew to make preparations before looking for Shi Lidie, which shows that she is a thoughtful person.

Shi Lidie flipped through the plan written by the second princess, which clearly stated the division of power and responsibilities between the two of them -

The second princess opened a shop and was responsible for its decoration, and also invested capital, while Shi Lidie invested in the technology and was responsible for its management.

In order to keep the formula confidential, all store employees are trained and arranged by Shi Lidie personally, and the second princess does not ask about any production and management matters.

The distribution ratio is 30% and 70%, with the second princess taking 30% and Shi Lidie taking 70%.

Because the second princess felt that production and operation required a lot of energy, she only needed to provide a shop and capital costs, and basically did not need to worry about anything, and 30% was enough.

After Shi Lidie read the plan, she said:

"Let's split it 50-50. No matter how much we earn in the future, it will be 50-50. We will never have to worry about uneven distribution of benefits. What's more, Second Princess, you not only provided the shop and funds, but also some invisible resources."

"Invisible resources?" The second princess was curious.

"For example, when your friends hear that you have opened a store, they will definitely come to support you, right? You are in Beijing and have more friends than I do. If friends bring their friends, the popularity of this store will increase, right?" Shi Lidie gave an example.

The second princess felt that this matter was not worth dividing so much, but Shi Lidie insisted, so she couldn't say anything.

The two of them decided to go into business together.

The second princess took Shi Lidie to visit several shops and made some changes based on the size and layout of the shops. They decided to open a milk tea shop, a dim sum shop, and a snack shop.

The milk tea shop specializes in various kinds of milk tea. Shi Lidie knows the recipes of countless milk teas. One point can be used to buy hundreds or even thousands of these in the system mall. The mall even considerately labels different drinks from different brands such as Mixue Bingcheng and Cha Baidao.

The dim sum shop makes a variety of Chinese and Western pastries. Chinese ones include mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, etc., and Western ones include cakes, puffs, sandwiches, etc. Anyway, as long as she can find the raw materials, Shi Lidie can make them all.

The snack shop is the former candied fruit shop, now it adds some potato chips, spicy strips and the like. While maintaining the original merchandise, it also adds a few special products.

The three shops are connected together, with a passage in the middle, forming a whole.

The sign outside adopted Shi Lidie’s original name of “Sooner or Later It Will Be the Best in the World” and was named “Sooner or Later It Will Be the Best Snack Shop in the World”. The plaque was also written by the emperor.
