Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll discuss it with Sister Xia. Our family will take over the place for the next few days, and I'll give her half of the profits when the time comes."

Xia Ruwan walked in from outside and said in a sweet voice, "What are you talking about? In your eyes, is your sister Xia such a stingy person? Young Master Tang passed the imperial examination, which is such a happy event. From now on, our Sisters Food City will have a Juren master as a backer. When Young Master Tang becomes a Jinshi, or even enters the court, then our Sisters Food City will have hosted banquets for officials, which will also be a great honor. Is this the publicity opportunity you mentioned? Such a good publicity opportunity, I'm not stupid, why don't I grab it?"

"Sister Xia is truly a business leader, so generous," Qin Huiyin said with a thumbs-up. "I'll write a banner and hang it up right away. Starting tomorrow, anyone who sincerely wishes my brother success in the imperial examination can eat as much as they want at Sisters Food City. But don't overeat, or you'll get sick and come back to bother us."

"What about the villagers in the countryside? This is such great news, we have to go back to the village to inform the clan members and write this great thing into the family tree. From now on, no one will dare to look down on our bloodline anymore." Tang Dafu said excitedly.

"We will arrange a carriage to pick up those who are willing to come to the city for dinner. Since it is a buffet, of course anyone can come to eat." Qin Huiyin said.

Qin Huiyin did what she said and quickly wrote the banner.

Passersby saw the huge banner and those who could read read it out loud. When they heard that the Tang family's son had passed the imperial examination and that Sister Food City would be hosting a three-day buffet starting tomorrow, passersby cheered.

Immediately afterwards, the free blessing came out like thunder.

Tang Yichen was a little embarrassed at first, but as more and more people came to congratulate him, and Qin Huiyin next to him accepted their blessings generously, he also looked much more relaxed.

"Mr. Qin, your brother is really amazing! I remember that Mr. Song is also your brother, right? Your family has great feng shui, and it only produces capable people!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt Wang. My two brothers are indeed outstanding. Maybe it's really good feng shui. My eldest sister is capable and my younger brother is smart." Qin Huiyin was not modest at all.

"And you! You're a very capable person!"

"Really? Bring your grandson tomorrow and let him eat more. But children don't know when to stop. Even after they're full, they'll still eat more. That can easily cause stomach upset. You have to keep an eye on him."

In the next few days, Sister Food City held a buffet for Tang Yichen.

Merchants passing by rushed over after hearing the news. They originally wanted to eat the three free meals with the mentality of "what a waste" but ended up being hooked by the taste of the food court.

After three days, everyone in the county knew that the owner of Sister Food City had a brother who had passed the imperial examination. They also knew how delicious the food at Sister Food City was.

These three days were enough for them to enjoy all the delicious food on every floor. After these few days of live advertising, the number of customers not only did not decrease, but doubled.

Xia Ruwan calculated and said with a smile, "I knew you weren't someone who liked to suffer losses. Look, business has doubled. The cost of the banquet these days will be earned back in less than five days."

Qin Huiyin looked at the data book in her hand and said very innocently, "You can't talk nonsense! I'm really happy for my brother and want more people to bless him. Also, my brother was bullied by many people because of his injury. Just because I didn't say anything doesn't mean I didn't know. I didn't care about it before because I didn't want to waste my breath. Now I can give them a good slap in the face."

"Excuse me, who is Mr. Qin?" A maid came over and said to Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan who were sitting in front of the counter.

Xia Ruwan pointed at Qin Huiyin and asked, "Do you have something to do with her?"

The maid said, "Our young lady wants to reserve a room on the third floor."

"I'm sorry, the third floor is full," Qin Huiyin said. "It's been full for the past ten days, and it will take at least eleven days for a seat to be available. If your young lady wants to entertain guests and must go to the third floor, we apologize."

"The second floor is also fine." A woman wearing a veiled hat walked in. "My last name is Gong. I wonder if your brother has mentioned me? We are friends."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

Gong Qianyue.

As soon as she entered, she recognized her.

"Miss Gong, I'm sorry, my brother is a bookworm who only knows how to read all day. He has never mentioned Miss Gong. However, since you are my brother's friend, I will give you the room on the third floor reserved for relatives and friends!" Qin Huiyin said with a smile, "Are you coming to dine tonight? I can make arrangements for you guys."

"I'm the only one here." Gong Qianyue said, "I heard that Sister Food City is a local specialty with unique flavors, so I wanted to try it."

"That's easy. I'll arrange it for you tonight." Qin Huiyin said, "Anything else you want?"

Gong Qianyue shook her head: "No more."

Qin Huiyin instructed the waiters next to her to serve Gong Qianyue, the important guest, well.

Gong Qianyue actually followed them to the county town.

Although it is not known whether she came here for Tang Yichen, one thing is certain: if she appears here, she will definitely look for Tang Yichen, and the two of them will inevitably have entanglements.

Headache.

Qin Huiyin asked a waiter to inform Tang Yichen.

No matter what Tang Yichen thought, he had to know that Gong Qianyue had come to the county town.

"Gone?" Qin Huiyin was puzzled. "That Miss Gong just left like that?"

"Yes," said the waiter, "she ordered a table full of dishes. She took a few bites of each dish and gave some to the maid she brought with her. But the maid couldn't eat much either. She said she would give the rest to the beggars outside. She's new here and probably doesn't know our county well. There are no beggars outside our county anymore."

The original beggars have been recruited by Song Ruize. They now have legitimate livelihoods and no longer need to beg.

"Although there are no beggars, there are still civilians who don't have enough to eat." Qin Huiyin said, "Put the food at the door and put a sign in front of it saying it's voluntary."

The guy did as she asked.

It wasn't long before the leftovers were sold out.

Qin Huiyin looked through the account book and was shocked to see that Gong Qianyue spent seventy taels of silver on this meal.

If this Miss Gong didn't have a fiancé, looking at how wealthy she is, it would be nice to have a sister-in-law like her.

"A membership fee of one thousand taels of silver?" Qin Huiyin asked, "was that also paid by Miss Gong?"

"Yes," Tang Luwu said, "She spent seventy taels on this meal. We've been running the shop for so long, and this must be our biggest customer. I've never seen such an extravagant guest before."
