Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Ye Youlan’s second ten-cent store is located near Tongluo Lane, where most people are poor, and inexpensive and good-quality goods are more popular.

On the opening day, she even put on some ordinary clothes to go and watch.

She saw Xiao Shanniang again. She was coming from the river carrying a large basin of clothes. Although it was not winter, her hands were still red. They even looked a little deformed from years of hard work.

So she asked Wen Xuan to hire a few temporary workers to help when the store was overstaffed, and those with good character and hard work could consider staying.

Ye Youlan asked Xiaomei to find someone to go to the blacksmith shop to customize a large iron plate.

Xiaomei was puzzled: "What do you need the iron plate for?"

"Cook!"

"Can you cook on an iron plate?"

But she still arranged for someone to go, and soon an iron plate as big as a desk was brought back.

Ye Youlan cleared a stove in the kitchen and put the cleaned iron plate on it.

Under her command, egg fried rice, fried noodles, and fried rice noodles were quickly served. Ye Youlan tasted each one and found it to be the flavor she had been longing for.

"Buy some prawns, fish, and tofu tomorrow and grill them. I want to eat them."

After the princess left, everyone shared the teppanyaki fried rice and lamented that the princess had so many ideas about food.

Ye Youlan returned to Tingyuxuan and asked Xiaomei if the teppanyaki fried rice was delicious.

"good to eat."

"Then look for shops with plenty of open space in front of them. You can set up a teppanyaki stall there to sell snacks. Put up railings next to the stall to prevent customers from getting burned."

Xiaomei happily went to make arrangements.

The Ding family iron shop was still open that night, and Ding Xiaoshan and his mother came to call his father home for dinner. Ding Dashan's face, rosy with the firelight, was filled with a smile: "Rongji has ordered another twenty iron plates today. I have to hurry and make them. I can't delay their business."

Ding Xiaoshan's eyes lit up when he heard about Rongji. He had heard about it from Jinbao and knew it was the property of the prince's family.

"If I could meet the princess, I would definitely thank her."

Ding Dashan and his wife both laughed: "How can a little kid like you meet the princess?"

Ding Xiaoshan raised his face and tilted his head: "Yes, I have seen it. I have also been to the palace. Last time I came back late, I brought you some delicious food, which I brought back from the palace."

Ding Dashan was surprised: "I thought you were joking and that the food was from Lord Jin's house."

The wife asked in surprise, "Is it because of Xiaoshan that the palace is taking care of our business?"

Ding Xiaoshan shook his head: "It must be because my father's cooking skills are good."

Ding Dashan smiled and said, "I also think it's because my craftsmanship is good and the price is fair."

The whole family worked together, cleaned up the shop, and went home.

The three of them chatting and laughing in the night was very warm and beautiful.

The next day, Ye Youlan's natural awakening was forcibly interrupted. Xiaomei came over hurriedly and said that someone took a gift box to Mingyue Teahouse early in the morning and said that there was a problem with the customized gift boxes sold in the teahouse.

what is the problem?

"They said the gift box was beautiful and exquisite, but the dim sum inside was inferior and not what they had advertised."

"How is that possible? I have to go and see."

The Seventh Prince asked Li Zhi to go and take a look first, and they would be there soon.

When they arrived, Mingyue Teahouse was surrounded by three layers of enemies inside and outside.

Li Chuang was leading people to drive away the crowd of onlookers. When he saw the carriage from the palace coming, he hurried over and briefly explained the situation.

The guards cleared the way, and the Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan finally walked inside.

Several people holding gift boxes were clamoring for a refund, demanding ten times the compensation if the goods were fake.

Ye Youlan asked: "Where did you buy it?"

The Taoist woman was in her early forties, slightly plump, with triangular eyes and a bright red lipstick on her pale face that stood out. Seeing Ye Youlan dressed so elegantly, she felt a little timid: "Mingyue Teahouse."

Ye Youlan smiled gently, raised her hands and made a stop gesture, and the noisy people outside immediately quieted down.

"I remember that Mingyue Teahouse never sells gift boxes individually. The minimum order is always 20. Every person who places an order has a ledger. Please tell me when you placed the order, when you will pick up the goods, and how many you ordered. If what you say is consistent with the ledger, I will not only compensate you 10 times for one false claim, but I will even compensate you 20 times."

A few people looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Everyone started to jeer: "Speak up, speak up."

A man with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes said, "We ordered it on September 7th, and we'll pick it up on September 22nd. We ordered 200 pieces."

Ye Youlan asked them to check, and the shopkeeper quickly found out: "It was ordered by Madam Zhang of South Street to hold a full-month banquet for her nephew. Does anyone know about this?"

Someone raised his hand: "I know. I passed by the Zhang Mansion the other day and saw many people carrying gift boxes out."

Ye Youlan smiled and asked the fat woman, "Excuse me, are you from the Zhang residence? Or are you attending the wedding? If there's something wrong with the gift box, shouldn't someone from the Zhang residence come forward to sort it out?"

The fat woman frowned and said, "I don't care. The snacks in your gift box just taste different. The Zhang family wants to save face, but we don't. You must give an explanation."

Ye Youlan glanced at the Seventh Prince and whispered, "That's why they ordered 200."

Ye Youlan stared at the fat woman: "You just said you bought it from Mingyue Teahouse, which of your words is true?"

After a while, Li Zhi squeezed in and whispered a few words in the prince's ear, and the prince nodded.

Li Zhiyi waved his hand, and a thin man was pushed over by the guards. Seeing the majestic and noble look of the Seventh Prince, he was so scared that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

Li Zhi pointed at the man and said, "This man is the owner of Zhangji Dim Sum Shop under the Zhang Mansion. His master ordered 200 gift boxes from Mingyue Tea House to give away at his nephew's full moon banquet, but they changed the gift box packaging and used Zhangji's gift boxes. Some customers tried our Mingyue Tea House dim sum and thought it was delicious. When they saw the gift boxes, they went to Zhangji to buy them. Their gift boxes cost five taels of silver, while ours cost ten taels of silver. The same Zhangji dim sum sold at different prices when placed in different gift boxes. Some people found that the goods they received in Mingyue gift boxes were not what they ordered, so they came to us to demand compensation. Of course, some people do this on purpose."

When Li Zhi said this, his sharp eyes swept across the clowns in front of him. They were so scared that they dared not speak and wanted to slip away.

"It's a misunderstanding, then let's go to Zhang's."

Ye Youlan smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Each custom gift box we make for each household has a unique anti-counterfeiting label on it. The Zhang Mansion gift box has a Zhang Mansion seal on the innermost corner."

The shopkeeper took the gift box from the fat woman and opened it to show everyone. Sure enough, there was a seal of the Zhang family in the innermost bottom corner.

"So this is extortion. You can't just walk away. Of course you have to report it to the police."

Li Zhi took everyone to the government office.

The news soon spread throughout the capital.

Qin Yurou was so angry that she didn't eat for a whole day. She wanted to settle the score with Mrs. Zhang, but she was the one who was brought into trouble.

Li Zong stopped her and asked, "Did you get any benefits?"

Qin Yurou looked at Li Zong in disbelief: "You doubt me?"
