After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The prosperity of "Dongxinglou" had a certain impact on "Zhenxiulou".

After all, puffer fish is only available for these two months, so everyone lines up to try it.

Wang Zhaozhao couldn't wait and ran to discuss with Shen Yunjin to see if the restaurant could introduce new dishes.

"It's OK to introduce new dishes, but there's no need to compete with Dongxinglou. We should focus on our own characteristics."

Doing business is about letting a hundred flowers bloom. If only one business is doing well, it will soon be bankrupt.

Besides, it’s always like this with food, everyone has different tastes.

Some people like strong flavors, some like light flavors, some pursue exotic food, and some only like traditional food.

There is no need to compare yourself with others.

"Zhenxiulou" launched a health series.

The health-preserving series includes not only traditional health-preserving soups and dishes, but also a variety of health-preserving desserts and drinks.

And we launched a door-to-door service.

For customers who buy health-preserving stewed soup, the restaurant can ask the waiter to deliver the whole pot to their door.

As soon as this activity was launched, it attracted some customers back.

Especially customers who have elders at home will order a pot to be sent home to show filial piety to their elders.

Guests who have finished their meal will also pack up one or two desserts and take them home to share with their families.

Some customers who liked the food would even buy some cakes to give to their relatives and friends.

Wang Zhaozhao just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw business starting to pick up, but then "Dongxinglou" launched new dishes.

There is a lot of rain in the spring, and one thing also becomes more abundant.

This thing is mushroom.

The puffer fish dish was coming to an end, and Shen Yunchu then introduced the mushroom banquet.

She also launched a pot that uses various mushrooms to stew soup, which is very delicious.

Everyone who has eaten it has praised it highly.

"Dongxinglou" also launched a door-to-door delivery service.

For a while, "Dongxing Tower" seemed to be competing with "Zhenxiu Tower".

When people in Beijing meet each other every day, the first thing they ask is: "Which restaurant are you going to eat at today?"

The wealthy and powerful families prefer to go to "Zhenxiulou" for meals and banquets.

If you really want to have a mushroom feast, you can ask the restaurant to deliver one to your door.

After all, powerful people care more about their reputation.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Dongxinglou seems to be competing with Zhenxiulou and has snatched away some of its customers.

In fact, Wang Zhaozhao found that the restaurant's profits did not decrease but increased.

Now she understood what Shen Yunjin said: A single flower does not make spring; competition is a good thing.

Because the business at "Dongxinglou" was so booming, they were running out of mushrooms.

After all, this will only grow after it rains.

Coincidentally, there wasn't much rain this spring.

When the shopkeeper was about to inform his boss about the shortage of mushroom supply, Shen Yunchu had just sent the doctor away.

The doctor just took Shen Yunchu's pulse and told her that she was pregnant again. He also prescribed some pregnancy-maintaining medicine and told her to take good care of the baby.

Shen Yunchu was still immersed in the joy of her pregnancy when what the shopkeeper said poured a bucket of cold water on her.

"If I have to make all the decisions, then what am I asking you to do?"

"If we don't have enough mushrooms, you can expand the purchase area. Beijing is thousands of miles away, and we are still short of some mushrooms?"

"If you can't handle such a small matter, you can leave. I should be able to easily find someone more capable than you for the same salary."

The shopkeeper was too quiet to say a word and swallowed back the matter he had originally wanted to discuss with his boss.

After the shopkeeper returned, he gathered everyone together and spread the word that "Dongxinglou" was buying a large amount of mushrooms.

As soon as this was said, more and more people came to send mushrooms.

The mushroom banquet at "Dongxinglou" has finally stabilized.

Shen Yunchu counted the silver bills brought by the shopkeeper and touched her belly happily.

It seems that this child is a blessed one. As soon as he came, his restaurant business flourished.

This time she was determined to take good care of the fetus and no matter what, she would do it until the baby was born safely.

Shen Yunjin also had the same idea.

When Ning Ruyan is not at home, it is the most relaxing day for Shen Yunjin.

There was no need to pay respects or engage in intrigue. She just needed to stay in her own yard and eat and sleep.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

Because Ning Ruyan, who was punished to copy scriptures in the Taimiao, returned home early.

The first thing she did when she came back was to notify all the concubines to pay their respects to her every day.

Coincidentally, it rained all night that night.

When I woke up the next morning, it was still drizzling outside.

"Master, how about I ask for sick leave from the princess and not go to pay respects today?"

Nanny Li was really worried when she saw Shen Yunjin's big belly.

"No, today is the first day to pay respects. If I don't go, I don't know how she will vent her anger on me."

"Yang Liu, come with me to pay my respects. I want to see what tricks the princess has in mind!"

"Master, how about I go with you? If something happens, you can take care of me." Jinzhi squeezed forward.

"No need, just Yang Liu is enough." Shen Yunjin held Yang Liu's hand and walked out of the yard.

Yang Liu was a woman of few words. All everyone knew was that she was specially hired by the King of Qi to serve Shen Yunjin, and no one knew anything else.

Yang Liu looked no different from other women, there was nothing special about her.

In fact, Shen Yunjin was also worried. She didn’t know whether Yang Liu would be able to protect herself and her child at that time.

"Master, rest assured, I can beat ten sturdy men by myself. This was when I was ten years old."

Ten years old? So is it progress or regression now? Shen Yunjin thought and asked this question.

"When I grew up, my father thought that I should no longer practice martial arts with a spear or a stick, as it would be difficult to find someone to teach me in the future. So I practiced secretly, and sometimes I would sneak out of the house to find a place that specializes in sparring to practice."

Shen Yunjin had heard a little about this. Some people who liked martial arts had formed a special arena for competitions.

As long as you can defeat the champion, you can get the corresponding bonus and become the champion of the next round.

The more people who win, the more prize money you get, and there are also people outside the venue who bet money against you.

"Then how many games can you last?" Shen Yunjin was a little curious.

"At first, I could only last two or three games at most. Later, after playing more, I could last more than ten games."

What she didn't say was that this was because she was a woman and couldn't leave the house often.

"You're awesome! Why didn't you continue the fight?"

Shen Yunjin knew that it was very profitable.

"I once met a strong man and was beaten. I lay in bed for more than a month before I recovered. Later, I encountered my father being wrongly accused..."

When Yang Liu reached this point, his voice darkened.

Shen Yunjin patted her hands comfortingly.

"Are you serious? The princess came back early because the prince begged for mercy?!"

In the rain, someone in front suddenly raised his voice.
