Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

When Shopkeeper Sun heard that someone was causing trouble, he immediately led his men out and said, "What are you doing? Who is causing trouble in our Qianwei Building? Are you tired of living?"

"The boss is him! One moment he complains that we don't have dipping sauce, the next moment he says ours is not hot pot. He's clearly looking for trouble!" the waiter said angrily.

"Hey, wait a minute, I'm not making trouble! Boss, we spent a lot of money just to eat authentic hotpot. Not only do you have no dipping sauce, but the soup base is not fragrant or spicy at all. To put it bluntly, there is only clear soup. I eat hotpot just for the red pot in the shuangxiang hotpot, but you don't have it! How can it be called hotpot! What's more, Yunlai Restaurant gives each table ice jelly and bean curd cakes for the same price, but you have nothing! And the taste is so bad! It's inedible!" After complaining, the customer left with the large table.

After hearing what he said, the other guests who had eaten hotpot at Yunlai Restaurant felt that it was indeed the case. They had noticed something was wrong when they first came in, but due to face they did not dare to say it directly. Now that someone had taken the lead, they were not afraid anymore and stood up one after another, demanding an explanation from the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper of Qianweilou still didn't know what the problem was, but the restaurant was full of curses, so he had no choice but to give everyone a free bill and then sent all the guests away.

"The food at Qianweilou is not hotpot at all. It doesn't have any fragrance at all. The fragrance from Yunlai Restaurant can be smelled even on the street."

"You just found out! I went to Yunlai Restaurant to eat there two days ago. I wanted to eat there again, but there were too many people and I couldn't get any. Then I heard that Qianwei Restaurant also launched hot pot, so I came here specially. I didn't expect that the taste was so different. It's not the same thing at all. I'd better go to Yunlai Restaurant to eat there."

"I thought hotpot was just like this, but it turns out there are even better ones. No, I have to hurry over and see if I can eat it today." The person who was just queuing at Qianweilou rolled his eyes and quickly walked towards Yunlai Restaurant while people here were not able to react.

"I am coming too!"

Seeing this, everyone else left as well. Only some common people who didn't understand the situation entered Qianwei Tower. There were barely a few tables of guests, but after two days, not a single table was occupied.

When the shopkeeper Sun of Qianweilou saw that all the customers had gone to Yunlai Restaurant again, he angrily called Chef Dong and said, "Didn't you say it was easy? Why did all the customers run away?"

“Boss, I don’t know either. I saw that the hotpot at Yunlai Restaurant is like this!” Chef Dong didn’t know what the problem was. He saw it that day and it was clearly like this.

"You don't know? I spent a lot of money here just for you to tell me you don't know!" The shopkeeper looked at Chef Dong angrily. He had spent a lot of money in the past two days on the stove for making hot pot, and all the ingredients he prepared were wasted. He really lost all his money this time. What should he do? He did it privately and had no time to report to his superiors. If his superiors knew that he had lost so much money, his position as shopkeeper might be over.

"This...shopkeeper..." Chef Dong didn't know what to say.

"He's a guy who's always causing trouble but never able to do anything good! He caused our restaurant to suffer such a huge loss! Someone, come and find out who made this hot pot!" Shopkeeper Sun saw that Chef Dong was also useless and didn't dare to say a word when something went wrong. He could only ask someone to find out more and see if they could poach the person who made the hot pot from Qianweilou, or buy the recipe to recover some of the losses.

The guy went to inquire and came back soon.

"How is it? Did you find out?" Shopkeeper Sun asked hurriedly.

"I found out, boss, the person who makes the hotpot is... the woman from Qingnian Food House." The waiter said hesitantly.

"What, it's her again?" The shopkeeper's face darkened. This was a bit difficult. Before, he had wanted to buy the formula from her, but she didn't agree. He was so angry that he asked someone to frame her. He must have offended that person. What should he do?

For several days, there was not a single table of customers in Qianweilou. If this continued, Qianweilou would really go bankrupt. Manager Sun had no choice but to write a letter and send it to the capital at full speed, telling the king everything that happened in Ding'an County. After hearing it, Prince Rui was shocked that such a small place could have such a talent. So, he asked someone to notify the manager of Qianweilou to poach him no matter what. And why did this name, Yao Qingnian, sound so familiar?

After receiving a reply from his boss, Shopkeeper Sun finally felt more at ease. This time, he went to see Yao Qingnian in person.

At Yunlai Restaurant, business is still booming, but it has become increasingly stable. No one is as flustered as they were in the beginning, and business in the restaurant is proceeding in an orderly manner.

After hearing about the current situation of Qianweilou, Manager Wan couldn't stop laughing: "Miss Yao, you are really amazing. You are right. There is not a single table of guests at Qianweilou. All of them have returned to our place. That old man must be crying in some corner! Haha! It's so refreshing."

"That's for sure. The hot pot base is so important. Same pot, same ingredients, but very different tastes." Otherwise, why are there so many hot pot restaurants nowadays? It's because each hot pot restaurant has its own unique taste. Some classic old restaurants can stand the test of time no matter how other restaurants open, because they have their own unique hot pot base recipe and don't have to worry about their business being snatched away.

"That's right. A few days ago, all the major restaurants in Anding County were vying to imitate us, but none of them could compare to ours." Manager Wan said proudly.

"Having said that, restaurants still need to be careful, especially when it comes to food safety. A big tree attracts the wind, and if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. So, you must remind the people in the kitchen to make sure the ingredients are clean and fresh, and don't let anyone find fault with you."

"Don't worry, Miss Yao. I've been doing this for so many years and I know it very well." Manager Wan said with a smile.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go back. I'll have someone deliver the bean curd cakes to you. You can get more if it's not enough." After Yao Qingnian said this, he said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left.

After Yao Qingnian returned to the shop, Zhongxia came forward and said, "Miss, someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

"They have come here several times." Zhongxia pointed at the people at the door.

"Okay, I got it. You go and get busy." Yao Qingnian asked Zhongxia to go to the shop to work.

The people at the door saw her coming back and hurriedly came to greet her: "Miss Yao, hello."

"Who are you?" Yao Qingnian looked at the strange man in front of him and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
