Chapter 272: Opening Of The Elegant Abode

To her surprise, this delicate lotus flower actually grew three new buds in the space. Hence, after taking out the original plant, there were still three seedlings growing healthily in the space.
Of course, such a noble species could not be raised in a natural environment alone. At this time, why would Xiaoxiao hesitate to use space projection?
The Ning Family did not notice this green flower at first, but Xiaoxiao squatted in front of it every day and did a good job of weeding and maintaining it, so everyone could not ignore it.
They realized that this grass that they did not remember its original appearance was slowly budding. It looked quite clean and beautiful.
Everything was going well. Just then, Mrs. Shen’s elegant abode finally opened for business.
On the day of their first opening, all the rich young ladies and madams came to support them. They fell in love with the abode the moment they entered.
When Mrs. Shen introduced her new shop, she said that it was a “special refreshment shop” and everyone took it seriously. They didn’t expect to be so surprised when they walked into the independent and unique VIP rooms in the elegant abode.
The menu of the elegant abode was different from other places. Every beverage and snack with a nice name was accompanied by colorful and cute drawings, making people feel pleasing to the eye and interested.
The glass used to hold the drinks was actually a rare crystal glass. It was clear and sophisticated, making the liquid in the glass look even more noble and crystalline. As the weather was getting hot, there were ice cubes in every guest room. Xiaoxiao took into account that these noblewomen were delicate and noble, so she did not add ice cubes into the drinks directly. Instead, she placed the glass in broken ice to chill it. It was refreshing to drink, but it would not cause any awkward situations.
At this moment, women in the same uniforms entered and presented everyone with a small milky white snack. Mrs. Shen proudly introduced, “This is milk jelly. It’s a snack for you today.”
The customers took it curiously and realized that it was soft and bouncy. When it swayed, it would even twist in the porcelain-white plate.
Such a snack was really unheard of. “How interesting. What is this made of?”
Mrs. Shen didn’t hide it. “It was made with cow milk and something else.” As for what this “something else” was, the sensible guests naturally wouldn’t ask anymore.
However, at the mention of “milk”, the noble ladies who kept a distance from it revealed looks of disdain. Who didn’t know that it tasted strange and difficult to swallow?
Some of the more picky ones pushed the snack plates to the side.
Mrs. Shen was not angry. She gave the people around her a look. The women in charge of serving picked up a small pot from beside the snack plate and poured some red jam on the milk jelly. Very few women could resist the sweet fragrance.
Someone thought that they might as well give it a try. At most, they would take a bite. At least they would give the county magistrate’s wife some face. After taking a sip, it melted in their mouth and left a fragrance. “Eh! Why is it so delicious?”
Mrs. Shen’s lips curled up. “What was poured just now was jam made from fragrant pears. There’s also honey, matcha, berries, and various other flavors on the menu.”
“The fruit juice I brought you just now was also iced after being squeezed with fresh fragrant pears. The milk tea is all brewed with fresh cow milk and top-notch tea leaves. It’s not fishy or smelly. If you’re not used to it, there’s also fruit tea that you can try. All kinds of snacks are also drawn on the menu. By the way, I personally recommend Cloud Cake. Eating it is like plucking a cloud.”
If she said that, the customers would not be sleepy anymore. They picked up the menu and studied what to eat later.
Mrs. Shen was in charge of greeting the guests. Xiaoxiao had always kept a low profile and only cared about guiding her disciple in the kitchen. “Aiyo, not bad. Your culinary skills can finally be mastered. I’ll give you my order for ‘So It’s You’ tomorrow, okay?”
Furong’s face was wooden. “Master, why do I feel that you took in disciples to slack off?”
Xiaoxiao waved her hand and frowned. What nonsense was she spouting? “I’ll give you double your monthly salary?”
Furong pulled a long face. “Master, am I the kind of person who is greedy for money in your eyes?”
Xiaoxiao sighed. “Three times, no more.”
Furong raised her hand. “Then I request that I have the right to eat freely.”
Xiaoxiao decided. “Deal.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlmost every outstanding chef had a foodie who liked delicacies hidden in their bodies. Furong was no exception. She especially liked desserts, but there were no new styles to the pastries that were popular in Great Xia. She was already sick of them.
After handing over a few troublesome matters, the other families in Fortune Village also started to harvest rice. Hence, the crayfish that they had agreed on earlier began to be sent to the Ning Family in an endless stream. Then, they were brought to the Fragrance Restaurant by the Li Family’s carriage to wash up and prepare a hot shower.
Recently, there were two new things in Xijiang County. Firstly, the elegant abode opened by the county magistrate’s wife became the latest gathering place for the noble ladies. Its popularity even exceeded that of the World’s Teahouse, which was said to have several tea doctors presiding over it. Secondly, Fragrance Restaurant specially added a supper service at dinner and provided a new delicacy—green prawns.
In order to let everyone eat at ease, the Fragrance Restaurant specially held a tasting event on the 15th of July. The crayfish that were served that day were free!
Regardless of whether they ate it in the future, the gimmick of “free” attracted a large number of customers, especially after the soul-stirring fragrance wafted out of the kitchen of the Fragrance Restaurant that day.
The foodies who were familiar with Shopkeeper Xu, sniffed. “Good lord, this is the good thing you’ve been fiddling with in the kitchen some time ago, right? You’re finally willing to take it out? Come, serve me a plate first!”
Shopkeeper Xu laughed at him. “Aren’t you afraid that it won’t taste good and you’ll be tricked by me?”
The glutton chuckled. “Do you think I’ve been eating at your place for a few years? Don’t I know better than you if it’s delicious? Cut the crap. Are you going to give it to me?”
Shopkeeper Xu naturally wouldn’t be stingy with his old guest’s support. He immediately announced, “As long as you want to try it, Old Xu will get the kitchen to send you a bowl. Sigh, but I have to say this in advance. This green prawn has been checked by the doctors and tested by real people. It’s fine, but if you’re allergic to prawns, crabs, and river creatures, don’t try it easily.”
He even personally demonstrated how to peel prawns and extract meat, as well as where they could and could not be eaten.
The crayfish had received a lot of good reviews from the citizens of Xijiang County. They had already obtained extremely high expectations before they were officially sold. Shopkeeper Xu received dozens of reservations that night. While the Ning Family’s milk tea shop was still open, he specially sent a sumptuous dinner and an order.
The villagers of Fortune Village had just heard that the Ning Family had another livelihood to earn money. Before their jealousy could ferment, they saw Ning Fengnian stroll out and ask if they were interested in selling green prawns..
