to give it to Chunlan."You little rascal, don't you know anything"Autumn Chrysanthemum lowered her head silently, "Normally, Spring Orchid doesn't appear. I rarely get to see her, and I don't know wha...Chapter 1110: An Opponent Appears

Fang Jinshu strolled around the restaurant, finally reaching the back garden rest room. Wu Niang trailed after him all the way.

How's business been lately with the new customers

Just now as she walked in, she found that there were only a few tables of diners in the restaurant, which felt a little off.

Although it's not mealtime, Yuan Ke Lai is always bustling with business. Even outside of mealtimes, there are quite a few people here drinking tea and chatting.

Wu Niang's face paled, and she spoke hesitantly.

Business is not going well.

"Do you know what caused this"

"I'd say I have a general idea," Wu Niang nodded.

"At the beginning, when the business in our shop started to decline, we just thought customers were getting tired of the menu. So we followed your method and added a new dish to the menu every half month, and we also updated the drinks and desserts menu once a month."

Even so, business hadn't improved much.

"Could it be that the dishes tasted bad" Fang Jinshi also felt strange listening to this.

Logically speaking, with new dishes being introduced every half month, even if business wasn't growing, it shouldn't decline so rapidly unless the taste had changed.

"It's not about the taste. We still have a lot of old customers at our shop, and they are quite discerning. I asked them, and they all said that the taste hasn't changed."

Wu Niang let out a sigh.

"There's a new restaurant opened across the street, they not only stole business from our restaurant but most of the restaurants in Kyoto City have seen a sharp decline in business."

"We've had a good run, haven't we"

Fang Jinshi was taken aback. "What wine shop"

Wow, that's amazing.

"A very disgusting restaurant,"

Their dishes are just average, but the prices are extremely low.

"A roasted chicken sells for ten mon, and the cost of buying a live one at the market is more than ten mon."

"Not to mention other dishes, even vegetarian dishes are sold at a price lower than the purchase price. Who would do business like this"

The people in the city went crazy, eating at the opposite restaurant was cheaper than cooking a meal at home.

Fang Jinshu frowned, "Have you found out who owns the tavern across the street"

To have such a big hand and act so arrogantly, this person's identity must not be simple.

"A-niang nodded, "Yes, everyone on this street knows who owns that tavern. They never intended to hide their identity."

"He's the Jiang Chuang who came to our restaurant and started trouble last time."

Jiang Chuang

Fāng Jǐnxiù suddenly stood up.

I'm going to check out the tavern across the street.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of the wine shop, she would still have to ask Jiang Chuang about the permit.

Even if Li Lie didn't come with the Xixia envoy group this time, the pass letter would still be needed.

"I'll go with the master," Wu Niang also got up, "Those people are not easy to mess with."

Fang Jinxiu raised her hand to stop her.

"No need, you stay here to watch the shop. I'm just going to take a look, I'm not going to challenge anyone. What are you afraid of"

Wu Niang was still not at ease.

"Master, those people are very barbaric. Several other tavern owners went to confront them before, but they not only refused to listen, but also beat them up and threw them out."

"I'm worried you will too."

"No, don't worry," Fang Jinshu said with a shake of her head. "I won't be as reckless as them."

She winked at Mulan, who nodded. Then she pulled out a small package and opened it, taking out a few tools to fiddle with on Fang Jinshi's face for a while. When she stepped back, Fang Jinshi's face had already transformed into something completely different.

When Wu Niang saw this, she was greatly surprised.

“This, this is disguise”

In just a short while, Fang Jinshu's face had completely transformed into someone else's. This girl is impressive.

"I've only heard tales of this art of transformation before, but seeing it today is truly remarkable."

"Girl, you're so skilled."

Hibiscus smiled shyly and, after packing up her things, returned to Fang Jinxiu's back.

"Now you can rest assured, can't you"

"Don't worry, I'll make sure the restaurant business won't go wrong."

"Wu Niang nodded gratefully. "

There was something she didn't say: to save the tavern's business, the princess had made several deals with the people across the street, each time returning with a face ashen with anger.

Even so, the princess still wouldn't let them look for Fang Jinshu, always saying she had caused them too much trouble. Earning money to support Beijng was their responsibility, and Fang Jinshu had already helped them enough.

That despicable Jiang Chuang, he even said that if the princess were to marry him, he would spare Yuan Ke's life! Bah!

Fortunately, the lord arrived today. Otherwise, my mother-in-law would have sharpened her blade in the middle of the night and assassinated Jiang Chuang across the street. Killing that scoundrel would teach him a lesson, for daring to humiliate the princess.

Fang Jinxiu brought Mujin into the tavern very smoothly.

After changing her appearance, no one on this street would recognize her. Therefore, Fang Jinshu strode in boldly, and as soon as she entered, she told Mujin to loudly call for the shopkeeper.

The more arrogant you are, the better.

I didn't expect Mujin to be a good actress, she really does have a bit of arrogance.

"Our young mistress is of high status and noble birth. The fact that she graces your restaurant with her presence is a great honor! Prepare the finest private room for her immediately!"

At a glance, the shop owner saw that Fang Jinshi was dressed in fine clothes and wore expensive jewelry. Coupled with the maid's air of speaking, he immediately recognized her noble birth without any doubt.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the shop assistant and personally greeted the distinguished guest.

This period of time, the winehouse has been operating at a loss, though it put considerable pressure on other winehouses. The daily customer volume is like flowing water, and the kitchen staff are so busy they never stop working.

But their prices are low, even lower than the cost. The more customers they have, the bigger their loss becomes. The shopkeeper has never seen such a way of doing business and worries every day.

Here's a fat sheep, it would be a waste not to slaughter it!

"Miss, please come in!"

There is a private room upstairs, I will personally lead you there.

Fang Jinshi nodded arrogantly, as if she didn't care about anyone. This arrogant and flamboyant model made anyone who looked at her think she was very rich.

The shopkeeper was extremely hospitable when he greeted her.

"Miss, our restaurant has dozens of signature dishes. I wonder what you'd like to try Or perhaps you'd like to sample a bit of everything"

Mu Jin immediately flared up upon hearing this.

"Do you think I'm a pig, ordering so many dishes that we can't finish"

"Our young lady is so precious, you just need to bring up the most expensive and best ingredients from your shop. If it tastes delicious, there will be a reward!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the gold ingot Mujin took out. My goodness, he finally saw some money!

He was bleeding inside every day serving those poor souls who acted like they'd never seen the world or tasted food.

I don't know what Young Master was thinking. Clearly, the Grandmaster only asked him to take over the business of all the taverns in the capital. But instead of making money, Young Master spends his days here losing money and running a loss-making business! At this rate, not only will he fail to complete the Grandmaster's task, I fear that even the few silver coins he has will be spent.

Our shop just received a few live spiny lobsters from the East China Sea. They were caught by specialized fishermen and transported quickly with live water care all the way here. They are extremely rare and precious.

This wild lobster meat is exceptionally delicious, with a smooth and sweet taste that will surely leave the lady wanting more. She'll be raving about it!

Fang Jinshu nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and have the kitchen bring it out." Mu Jin said, crossing her arms.

The shopkeeper chuckled and didn't leave. He extended his finger and rubbed it back and forth.

This lobster meat is extremely precious, and the price naturally isn't low.

Lobster Fong Jinshi is actually quite looking forward to it. Coming to this world for so long, she has never seen seafood. If it's really high-quality lobster meat, the money spent would be worthwhile.bit he had developed while hunting in the mountains to prevent getting lost.This shape, she had seen before in embroidered fabrics. When she saw it by the roadside, her heart leaped with joy. It seem...
