Chapter 40 Success
In her previous life, when Shangguan Zhihua was developing tofu, Zisu accompanied her almost the entire time. Her uncle's family flattered her to death, and Shangguan Zhihua pretended to be her best friend, dragging her along no matter what they did.
Of course, Zisu had no way of knowing the most crucial step in the tofu-making process—how much gypsum to add. However, in this life, her starting point was much higher than Shangguan Zhihua's. Shangguan Zhihua, at this moment, didn't even know how long to soak soybeans to grind them into suitable soy milk.
However, Zisu now only needs to figure out how much plaster to use. In her previous life, Shangguan Zhihua failed hundreds of times over half a year before finally managing to make tofu. Zisu has reason to believe that she only needs to experiment ten or so times to make tofu!
Sure enough, just five days later, Zisu successfully made tofu that looked and tasted excellent. Overjoyed, she wrote down a secret recipe overnight, and based on her memories from her previous life, she also wrote five tofu recipes, ten pastry recipes, and dozens of other dishes.
These pastry recipes and cookbooks were all created by Shangguan Zhihua in her previous life. Furthermore, Shangguan Zhihua gave them all to Xiao Fan, causing Shili Xiang to become incredibly famous. In a very short time, it completely overwhelmed the former leader of the food industry, "Good Days Restaurant." If it weren't for Good Days Restaurant's powerful backing, it would almost certainly have gone out of business.
The Good Days Restaurant was funded by the Eldest Princess and managed by Jiang Shichang, the younger brother of the Prince Consort. The Eldest Princess is also the current Emperor's most beloved younger sister, and the relationship between Prince Rong'an and the Emperor has long surpassed five generations. However, Prince Rong'an is a remarkable figure with considerable connections and prestige within the Western Liang Dynasty.
Although the Eldest Princess and the Princess Consort of Rong'an were not enemies, their relationship was quite distant. The Eldest Princess was a kind person, while the Princess Consort of Rong'an was arrogant and domineering; the two could not get along. Jiang Shichang's son, Jiang Chun, and Xiao Fan were even more incompatible, disliking each other. As a result, there was an underlying tension between Shili Xiang and Hao Ri Zi Restaurant.
The weather was fine and sunny that day.
After bidding farewell to her family, Zisu, accompanied by Cherry, Pear, Uncle Li, and Aunt Li, boarded a carriage and headed to the capital, heading straight for the Good Days Restaurant.
Upon arriving at the Good Days Restaurant, Zisu requested a private room, ordered a table full of dishes, and then said to the waiter, "Young man, I have something important to discuss with your manager. Please help me convey my message to him!"
After saying that, without waiting for the waiter to say anything to refuse, he directly stuffed a five-tael silver ingot into the waiter's hand.
The shop assistant stared wide-eyed at the silver ingot in his hand, and after a long while, he chuckled and said, "Thank you, Miss. I'll go and fetch the manager right away!"
Wow, five taels of silver! His monthly wage is only half a tael. Now he's got almost a year's wages! He's been taken advantage of, so of course he has to help him ask the manager for help!
Soon after, the shopkeeper was invited over.
The shopkeeper was none other than Jiang Shichang, the younger brother of the prince consort, a handsome middle-aged man with a beaming smile.
"Miss, what can I do for you?" Jiang Shichang asked cheerfully, his face full of kindness.
