Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Yun Zhenzhen took a few children to the town center, where the streets were lined with shops of all sizes.

After coming to the town so many times, she has already figured out the basic situation. There are three or four restaurants of different sizes in the town, the largest of which are Yaoyuelou, which sells its own candy, and Haokelou, which she just encountered.

When she walked to the middle of the restaurant, she saw Wei Xiong who had just left in a huff. Yun Zhenzhen nodded at him, adhering to the principle of treating people with a smile.

Wei Xiong also saw her and thought she had changed her mind and came to him to sell the house. It had only been a short while and she realized she was wrong. However, seeing how humble she was, he decided to forgive her and was still willing to pay two taels of silver.

If she bargained with me, begged me a few times in a gentle voice, and reluctantly added a little bit, it wouldn't be impossible.

Wei Xiong stood steadily at the door of his house, posing as if he was waiting for her to come up and apologize.

At this moment, Yun Zhenzhen turned a corner and entered the Yaoyue Tower next to her.

Wei Xiong hurried down the stairs and stared at them.

Could it be that this young lady wants to sell the braised pork recipe to Yaoyue Tower?

Although Yaoyuelou and Haokelou are both ranked as the top restaurants in Liuye Town, their business has been obviously not as good as their own in the past two years. Some time ago, they suddenly launched some shaved sugar snacks, which helped Yaoyuelou's business to take a step forward and made them slightly better than their own.

If he could get the recipe for this braised pork, it would surpass his own restaurant and become the number one restaurant in Liuye.

Wei Xiong immediately wanted to go up and stop the man, and was willing to pay three taels of silver.

In the end, it was still a step too late. Yun Zhenzhen had already walked into the Yaoyue Restaurant with the child.

It was past noon and there were not many people in the store, only a few people drinking tea and eating snacks.

The accountant and the waiter were standing behind the counter chatting. When they saw the young lady in simple clothes with a few half-grown children, they thought she was looking for a job.

The accountant nonchalantly asked the waiter to come over and ask what was going on.

My restaurant often encounters people who can't make a living and come looking for work. It just so happens that business has been booming recently and the store is short of staff, so Manager Xu asked me to keep an eye on it.

The waiter came over and asked if there was anything she needed. Yun Zhenzhen looked at the menu in the store. The noodles were generally one or two cents higher than those outside, and the other vegetables were about five or six cents higher than those at the stalls.

Yun Zhenzhen turned her attention to the dim sum, and what she saw shocked everyone. Bingshatang dim sum cost one hundred coins per pound, and a small plate cost twenty coins.

You have to know that shaved sugar is just an auxiliary ingredient. One pound of sugar can make at least five or six pounds of snacks. Shopkeeper Xu is really good at doing business.

Just as she was hesitating whether to buy two plates of snacks for the children to try, a familiar voice came.

"Madam Yun, why are you here in the store? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Yun Zhenzhen looked up and saw that the person who came was Zhang Hong, the waiter she knew. Seeing how familiar the two were, the accountant also came over out of curiosity.

"Xiao Zhang, do you two know each other?"

Zhang Hong quickly leaned over to whisper in his ear, and the accountant's expression instantly became polite: "It turns out to be Madam Yun. My apologies."

You know, because of the hot sales of shaved sugar snacks, Manager Xu happily raised the monthly wages of all the employees in the store, making life at home much better.

To be honest, it’s all thanks to Yun Zhenzhen. We have to take good care of her.

"What would you like to eat?" Zhang Hong asked her cheerfully, "The shopkeeper said that as long as you come to the store to spend money, you can get 20% off everything."

Yun Zhenzhen was a little surprised. This Shopkeeper Xu was really an amazing person.

In that case, Yun Zhenzhen ordered two plates of dim sum, a plate of peach blossom cake, and a pot of tea, just to let the children taste something new while she got down to business.

Zhang Hong immediately notified the kitchen to serve the food, and at this moment, a hearty laugh was heard.

"Miss Yun, I am sorry for not coming to welcome you." Xu Xing strode over.

Yun Zhenzhen also stood up immediately and greeted with a smile: "It's good enough that the shopkeeper doesn't blame me for coming uninvited."

"No way." Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Xu Xing asked softly, "Can we talk somewhere else?"

"Okay." Yun Zhenzhen nodded.

Xu Xing took her to the private room on the second floor, and before leaving, he asked the waiter to serve some of the store's signature snacks to the children.

Yun Zhenzhen didn't stop him when she saw this. In business, it's best to have give and take. Besides, she could bring him more than just these snacks.

After arriving at the private room, Yun Zhenzhen got straight to the point: "Boss, have you heard of the braised meat sold at the market a few days ago?"

Xu Xing was stunned. He had heard of that braised pork before, but it was sold out after only two days. He asked the waiter to buy it but couldn't find it. Recently, there were even diners who came to the restaurant and asked for that braised pork.

But the meat had disappeared long ago, and there was no way to find it. Besides, the restaurant was very busy recently, and I couldn't spare the time to study the braised meat.

"I sold that meat," Yun Zhenzhen said frankly, "I've been busy making sugar lately, so I've neglected this business. I have few people at home and can't handle it, so I figured Manager Xu might need it, so I came here uninvited."

"Really?" Xu Xing's eyes widened, his face full of surprise. Although he asked the question, he already believed it about 70% in his heart.

I heard from people who have eaten there that the woman selling the braised meat was a young lady with a few half-grown children. Looking at it this way, it must be the young lady Yun in front of me.

Haokelou has been unilaterally crushing itself over the years. Fortunately, it has the ice smoothies and sweet snacks to save the day. If it can come up with some delicious braised meat, it will surely capture the hearts of every diner and become the number one restaurant in Liuye Town.

Perhaps, it can become the largest restaurant in Yuzhou, no, in the whole world.

Xu Xing looked at the young lady in front of him who was talking and laughing, and his inner thoughts became more certain. This Lady Yun was simply the noble person in his life.

After a burst of ecstasy, Xu Xing gradually calmed down and looked at Yun Zhenzhen in front of him: "Madam Yun, how do you want to handle this braised meat business?"

Yun Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that she had not misjudged the person. He did not think of buying out her prescription directly.

Xu Xing also has his own standards in his heart. He believes that business should be done in an open and honest manner. This recipe might be passed down from ancestors. It would be ungentlemanly to ask for it rashly.

"I have an idea here. Would you like to listen to it?" Yun Zhenzhen smiled and tilted her head, as warm as the sun in winter. The cunning in her eyes made Xu Xing dazed.

After realizing what was happening, Xu Xing coughed lightly, extended his right hand, and said, "I'm all ears."
