I just want to live a good life

Su Nuan wanted to open a cake shop on Hengsi Street in the imperial city, so she did a lot of research for this purpose.

For example, the prime location of Hengsi Street has plenty of money for customers, so opening a store here is a sure win; for another example, cakes have not yet been invented by chefs in this time and space, so as long as her store opens, it will be the only one in this imperial city.

But when she had saved up enough money and was ready to buy the shop and open a store, she found that someone had already taken the shop location she had her eyes on. Not only that, that person also registered her brand and got her recipe.

And this was right after she promoted this product in front of a group of rich kids.

Yesterday, she said in public that she asked the chef of "Yipinsu" to make the cake, and she gave the idea of ​​the cake to "Yipinsu's chef" herself. If she says now that the cake was her own idea, she would be slapping herself in the face.

So this is a silent loss, she has to eat it whether she wants to or not.

It's just up to her how to eat.

"Cheng Ansu, it's fine if you want to steal my man, but now you're putting your hand in my pocket. Don't blame me for being rude to you."

Su Nuan gritted her teeth and said this, which made Meixiang shudder.

However, before dealing with Cheng Ansu, Su Nuan had to deal with another matter first.

The carriage slowly drove out of Hengsi Street. Su Nuan stared hatefully at the "Yipinsu" sign through the window until it could no longer be seen.

At this time, it was noon, and there were few pedestrians on the road. The carriage was driven very fast and returned to the Prince's Mansion not long after.

In Duiyueju, Chunliu and Bitao were waiting for Su Nuan to come back with the food on the table.

Ever since Baozhu was ordered to grow the orchid, she has been staying in the flowerbed and has never come out.

"Miss, how is it going? Did you get the silver?"

Seeing Su Nuan coming back, Bi Tao came up to her and asked.

"I got the money, but I can't open the shop."

Su Nuan said this and glanced at Chun Liu.

Chun Liu asked, "Why? Was the shop bought by someone else?"

Su Nuan replied calmly: "Yes, how did you know?"

"I guessed! Miss has got the money, but still can't open a shop. There must be something wrong with the shop. The rice shop has been trying to sell it before. The boss must be impatient and sold it."

"You are so smart. Why didn't I notice it before?"

Su Nuan looked at Chun Liu with a half-smile. The latter probably felt uncomfortable with her look. She turned around and pointed at the food on the table and said, "Miss, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go heat up the food for you."

"I won't eat anymore. You guys eat it."

Chun Liu said: "Miss, you can find another shop later. You have to eat!"

"Yes, we can't not eat!" Bi Tao also persuaded Su Nuan to eat, "Miss, look, His Highness knows that you like to eat Eight Treasure Duck and sent one to you. For His Highness's kindness, you should have a bite. Besides, I think it doesn't matter whether the shop is open or not. Now His Highness is getting better and better to you. Even if we don't have the shop, our future life will be fine. Why should we work so hard to run the shop?"

Su Nuan took a look at the food on the table, and sure enough, there was an eight-treasure duck. She suddenly felt warm in her heart, and thought that what Bi Tao said made sense. If Mu Yunting treated her better, she could live a good life. Why should she have to work so hard to make money on her own!

But the problem is that Mu Yunting treats her well, but what else can he give her except rewarding her with a dish occasionally?

Not to mention that Mu Yunting is a homosexual, even if he is a normal man, his kindness should not be enough to support her through life. So she can't expect anything from him, let alone bet her life on him. As the saying goes: It's better to rely on yourself than on others.

After calming down, Su Nuan could treat the duck objectively. It was just a duck that could satisfy her appetite. The silver bill in her pocket was what she was pursuing.

If one shop fails, she can open another one. If one idea is plagiarized, there are countless other ideas. Besides, the cake-making method is not her original creation. If she can use it, others can use it as well.

After figuring this out, Su Nuan felt that the anger that had been pent up in her chest had finally dissipated. She looked at the eight-treasure duck again, and the glutton in her stomach began to stir.

She washed her hands first, then invited everyone to eat. She first tore off a duck leg from the eight-treasure duck and put it in the bowl, "Leave this for Baozhu, and the rest will be shared among the four of us."

"The young lady is really partial to Baozhu. She always gives her duck legs to eat!" Bitao pouted and muttered.

Su Nuan pulled off another duck leg and stuffed it into Bi Tao's mouth, saying with a smile, "Is this enough to shut you up? Next time, tell His Highness Kang Zongguan to give you another Eight Treasure Duck and ask him to find a four-legged duck. Then I'll give each of you a duck leg, and you won't say I'm partial anymore."

"Then Chief Steward Kang will definitely say, 'Oh, Your Highness, this is really difficult for me! Where can I find a duck with four legs?'"

Meixiang imitated Kang Dahong's expression and said.

She imitated it vividly and made everyone laugh.

Su Nuan looked at the three people laughing in front of her, her eyes swept across their faces one by one. These people followed her to plant flowers, vegetables, and raise chickens and they ate vegetarian food. Their work was much more arduous than that of ordinary maids. Each of them should have a reason to betray her!

.

At the same time, Ye Yin changed his clothes and was reporting this morning's itinerary to Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting listened silently, and when he heard that Mr. Yue was suspicious, he frowned slightly.

When he heard that his concubine went to UBS to sell a jade bracelet, his facial features became complicated, and he struggled for a while before finally settling on a smile.

"She can think of such a trick!"

Ye Yin asked tentatively: "Your Highness is not angry?"

"Why should I be angry? I have heard that Ruiyinlou sold inferior goods as good ones and deceived people. I didn't expect that they dared to deceive even my concubine. It is right to teach them a lesson. Two thousand five hundred taels of silver is a bargain for him."

"By the way, you said Xia Qingyan had planned to cheat Ruiyinlou out of her money long ago. What did she want so much money for?"

Ye Yin replied: "The Concubine probably wants to open a shop on Hengsi Street."

"She's quite good at choosing a location!" Mu Yunting praised, and continued, "What kind of shop is she going to open?"

"Dim sum shop, 'Yipinsu'."

"No wonder she made so many cakes for the flower viewing party. It turns out she wanted to make her shop famous first."

Ye Yin said: "I'm afraid the Concubine has made a wedding dress for someone else. Today, a new pastry shop opened on Hengsi Street, called 'Yipinsu', and its signature dish is the cakes made by the Concubine."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mu Yunting asked, "Do you know who did it?"

Ye Yin replied: "It should be Miss Cheng who is behind this."

"Is it her? Does Xia Qingyan know that it was her who did it?"

"know."

"What was her reaction?" Mu Yunting looked at Ye Yin with curiosity in his eyes.

Ye Yin blinked, took a deep breath, and said, "The Concubine's original words were, 'Cheng Ansu, you wanted to snatch my man, and now you're putting your hand in my pocket, so don't blame me for being rude to you.'"

After hearing this, Mu Yunting laughed out loud, and then exclaimed: "As expected of Xia Qingyan!"
