Chapter 228 Is the tofu in my home so delicious?
Xiu Luoran slumped listlessly on the couch, watching her elder and younger sisters-in-law doing needlework.
Ever since she heard Xiu Lingce say that the situation was serious, she hasn't left the house for two days.
She is a troublemaker and she doesn't want to bring disaster to her family because of her.
Apart from practicing martial arts in the small garden in the morning and evening, she either ate or slept, and rarely even went to the only restaurant.
Her third brother Xiu Lingqun had already been through a lot and was very capable, so he managed the restaurant very well.
The house is filled with guests every day. I can’t say that I make a fortune, but it’s almost there.
She would occasionally visit the tofu shop. Qu Hou was a capable man and he and his staff would make dozens of plates of tofu every day.
Apart from supplying the mansion and relatives, the rest was sent to restaurants.
I heard that dishes made with tofu are very popular in restaurants. Many people go to restaurants just to eat tofu and drink flower and fruit wine.
Now, this unique restaurant in the world is almost known to every household in Beijing.
If some respectable people want to entertain guests and hold a banquet, Dujiu is the best choice.
Many people are proud to eat here.
The restaurant's business has stabilized.
A few days ago, Xiu Luoran received a letter from Yu Zongqian, saying that the construction of the warehouse was going smoothly, Su Yiwen, Zhang Xuwei, and Lei Hanting all gave them great help, and asked her not to worry.
Xiu Luoran was of course relieved. Without these connections, she would never dare to go so far to do business.
She doesn't have to worry about her business. Her mother takes care of all the affairs in her yard, so she just needs to be at ease and be a parasite.
Yi Kezhen watched Xiu Luoran dozing off with her head nodding. She glanced at Zhou Yunxi, and both sisters-in-law smiled.
"The eldest young lady."
A little maidservant standing outside the door called out, perhaps she had something to report.
The little maid is not very tall, but she has a loud voice.
Xiu Luoran was awakened.
Yi Kezhen was furious. Nanny Shang beside her hurried over and scolded the little maid:
"Who did you learn these rules from? You have learned them like a dog?
You have something to report, but you can't speak softly, but just yell loudly at the master's door."
The little maid was frightened and knelt down quickly:
"Mammy, please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again."
Yi Kezhen asked coldly:
"what's up?"
The little maid glanced at Xiu Luoran:
"Mr. Qu sent someone to look for Miss *, saying that someone went to the tofu shop and forced her to buy tofu."
Xiu Luoran asked, "Forced purchase?"
The little maid nodded: "Yes, she said it was the Second Prince's wife."
Xiu Luoran sneered and said, "Interesting. Sister-in-law, you guys are busy. I'll go over and take a look."
Yi Kezhen grabbed her and said:
"Luoluo, why don't we just sell it to them for a few dollars? We are the only women in the family, we shouldn't suffer any more losses."
"Don't worry, it's okay. Besides, this precedent cannot be set."
After Xiu Luoran finished speaking, he went to the tofu shop.
Xiu Luoran thought as he walked, Yi Jingshi, you provoked me first, so don't blame me for being rude!
When they arrived at the tofu shop, Xiu Luoran saw Qu Hou and a few of his men arguing with a few old women.
"Listen carefully, I am from the Second Prince's Mansion.
Since you make tofu to sell it for money, just tell us how much you want and we will pay you.
Is ten taels of silver enough for one piece of tofu? Give me ten pieces of tofu."
Qu Hou patiently explained:
"Mother, our young lady has instructed that tofu should not be sold except as gifts, but should be sent to restaurants.
I am just a servant, I think mother should understand my difficulties and not make things difficult for me. "
"Bullshit! You're making things difficult for me! I've already offered ten taels of silver for a piece of tofu. How much more do you want? Just tell me the number."
Knowing that the visitor was from the Second Prince's Mansion, Qu Hou did not let Su Jin come out.
But he is a grown man and he doesn't know how to quarrel.
When he looked up, he saw Xiu Luoran walking in. He finally had his savior.
He immediately said loudly to the old woman:
"Stop arguing, our lady is here."
Xiu Luoran looked at the old woman with a cold face:
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Mrs. Qian was the dowry of the second prince Yi Jingshi's wife, Huo Chuping, and was a very prestigious figure in the second prince's mansion.
But in front of Xiu Luoran, she still lacked confidence:
She said calmly: "Miss Xiu, our princess wants to eat tofu, but this bastard won't sell it to me."
Mrs. Qian pointed at Qu Hou.
Qu Hou glared at him angrily.
Xiu Luoran smiled: "I wonder how much money mom wants?"
Xiu Luoran specially asked someone to bring a piece so that Mrs. Qian could see its size.
So this is tofu.
It looks snow-white and tender, and looks delicious.
"Miss Qu, there are many people in our house, so 20 yuan will do."
She deliberately asked for ten more yuan, fearing that Xiu Luoran would not give her that much so she could bargain.
But Xiu Luoran directly asked someone to bring twenty pieces of tofu.
Two people brought the tofu plate, which contained twenty pieces of tofu.
Xiu Luoran said: "This tofu bar shouldn't charge you money, but we don't have much friendship, right?
If I give it to you, others will think that the relationship between our two families is very close. We cannot let people misunderstand our Xiu family.
Just give me one cent for a piece of tofu as a token of your appreciation. This is your first and last time buying from me, so I’ll give you a discount.
If someone asks you where you bought the tofu, don't say you bought it here, just say you bought it at the restaurant, thank you."
An ordinary rice bowl can only hold five or six pieces of tofu. Xiu Luoran didn't expect to make money from selling the tofu, so Qu Hou and the others cut the tofu into large pieces.
Fortunately, there were five of them, including Mrs. Qian, and they were just enough to take the tofu back.
After Mrs. Qian and the others left, Xiu Luoran told Qu Hou and the others to do what they were supposed to do, and she went to Xiu Lingqun's intelligence station.
She wanted to look for any information or news about the Second Prince's wife. She was planning to make things difficult for Yi Jingshi.
Xiu Luoran: Humph, is the tofu in my house so delicious?
