late at night

Guard Zhao Wu ended a day of tracking and returned to the Sixth Prince's residence. He immediately reported Yu Zhizhi's every move to his master.

After Zhao Yunjin left Fuju Restaurant, he continued to arrange for Zhao Wu to stay and follow Yu Zhizhi until she went to bed.

He was suspicious by nature, and Yu Zhizhi's every move since she got drunk and caused trouble was very different from before.

He still couldn't quite believe that a person's temperament could change so quickly, but what he refused to admit was that Yu Zhizhi was quite interesting now and had attracted his attention.

After hearing Zhao Wu's report, Zhao Yunjin's mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly.

She has indeed become interesting now. Not only did she cheat Manager Luo out of more than a hundred coins, she was also quite smart. She did not let the one thousand and two taels of silver go to her head and agree to sell the hot pot recipe to Fu Ju Restaurant.

Setting up a stall?

Does she intend to do business honestly like her biological parents?

This dynasty allowed women to engage in business, but looking at the entire Chuyun Kingdom, there were very few women engaged in business, especially those who persisted.

I don't know how long she can hold on.

He has begun to wait and see.

Common stinky tofu comes in two colors, one is as black as ink and the other is golden yellow.

Yu Zhizhi plans to make black stinky tofu.

Making stinky tofu requires a stinky brine, which in turn is made from the stems of a wild vegetable. Therefore, Yu Zhizhi decided to go to the suburbs to dig up wild amaranth stems herself.

Just as she was about to go out with the basket on her back, a familiar voice came from the front: "Miss!"

Yu Zhizhi looked up and saw Xiaotao walking towards her with a bag on her back.

"Miss, I'm here to see you." Xiaotao said with a smile on her face.

Yu Zhizhi hurried forward, took the things Xiaotao was carrying, and asked with concern, "Didn't we agree that you would stay with your family for a few more days before coming back? Why are you back so soon?"

Xiao Tao smiled and replied, "I was worried that the young lady couldn't handle it alone, so I hurried back."

Yu Zhizhi patted Xiaotao's hand gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then, she reminded him, "Also, you are no longer a slave. Don't call yourself a slave anymore, and don't call me Miss anymore."

Xiao Tao said coquettishly, "But I'm already used to calling you Miss. As for calling myself that, I'll try my best to change it."

The family was very grateful for the young lady's great kindness, especially her father and mother. They urged themselves to return to her as soon as possible to accompany her and help her with things.

Seeing Yu Zhizhi's outfit, Xiao Tao asked curiously, "Miss, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the suburbs to dig wild amaranth."

When Xiao Tao heard this, she immediately snatched the basket from Yu Zhizhi and put it on her back. "I know where to find wild amaranth. Leave it to me."

After saying that, she couldn't wait to run out the door. Her hurried appearance made Yu Zhizhi laugh out loud.

That's it.

It's a good thing to have one more person to help, so that you don't have to do some things yourself.

Yu Zhizhi had already told her parents last night about setting up a stall. They were very open-minded people and not only did they not object, they even planned to go with her.

However, Yu Zhizhi politely declined.

After all, they all have their own shops to take care of, and their stalls are not big, and with Xiaotao and He Yang to help, they should be able to handle it.

If you are really too busy in the future, it is not too late to ask your parents for help.

In the end, Yu Zhizhi's parents gave her ten taels of silver as start-up capital.

Faced with this warm gesture, Yu Zhizhi gladly accepted it.

While Xiaotao was digging amaranth stems, Yu Zhizhi went to her own grocery store again and brought back some ingredients for making stinky brine.

After everything was prepared, Yu Zhizhi and Xiaotao cut the amaranth stems they dug into small pieces and soaked them in clean water.

Soak for two days and let it ferment.

Then put the ground sesame seeds, ground soy milk, star anise, bay leaves, cardamom, peppercorns, dried mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots into the fermented amaranth water.

Then put a duck egg in and swim naked.

Let them continue to ferment for a few days and the stinky brine will be ready.

Yu Zhizhi was busy making garlic chili sauce for stinky tofu in the kitchen. He Yang, who had not appeared for three days, suddenly appeared in the Yun Mansion.

He ran to Yu Zhizhi happily and couldn't wait to share the good news with her:

"Boss, you're amazing! After eating hot pot, Grandfather and Father finally agreed. From now on, I can openly set up a stall with you!"

Yu Zhizhi smiled with relief after hearing this and nodded, "That's really good news. But why are your lips so swollen? And you look a lot fatter than you were three days ago."

Is that polite of you to speak like that?

He Yang smiled wryly and touched his lips, "It's because I've been eating hot pot every day for the past three days. I'm getting a sore throat."

Ever since he brought back home the beef hotpot base, copper stove hotpot utensils, and various methods of processing ingredients carefully prepared by his eldest brother, his family has been unable to put down the spicy taste after tasting the delicious hotpot.

Especially my grandfather and father.

And him.

You can never get tired of eating it every time!

After learning that this spicy hot pot was invented by Yu Zhizhi, they gave in every time they ate it. After eating it for three days in a row, they finally gave in and agreed.

"Grandfather has the same strong taste as you do; he loves pig brains. Father, like me, loves meatballs, fatty beef slices, and beef slices."

Yu Zhizhi understood.

This He Yang eats so well every meal, it would be strange if he is not fat!

She reminded him, "By the way, the weather is quite hot right now, so I advise you to eat less spicy hot pot. Also, please send someone to bring back this copper stove and pot tomorrow. My family hasn't had time to taste it yet!"

He Yang understood what the eldest sister meant. She didn't want to spend money to customize another stove, but it was also difficult to deal with her grandfather.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll pay for you to have a custom one made."

Yu Zhizhi shook her head. "This furnace costs three taels of silver. You don't have much money right now, so use it sparingly."

He Yang smiled cunningly, "Don't worry, I'll let the government pay for this money."

My grandfather has already invited his old friend to come to his house to eat spicy hotpot tomorrow. The bill for the stove is on my grandfather's account, and there is nothing wrong with that.

"Also, the beef hot pot base you gave me is running low. I plan to use the official account and have the housekeeper buy it from you."

Now I can save money on the stove and hot pot base.

Yu Zhizhi's chopping speed slowed down noticeably. She glanced back at him and asked, "Who did you learn this from?"

He Yang smiled flatteringly, "Follow you! Am I smart?"
