The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 192 You’re welcome

The man refused: "I have some soup here, I just made it across the street."

That is Shen Yan's family's snail noodle soup. After saying that, he sat down on the stool next to him, mixed the broth and rice noodles, put the snacks on the table, and started to mix the rice noodles and eat.

The snail noodles I made myself tasted pretty good, but the texture of the rice noodles was a bit bad.

Guifang felt uneasy as she watched the customer intently enjoying the rice noodles she had prepared.

She knew that her mother-in-law's accusations against her were not without reason. Recently, her rice noodles were indeed not as good as before, and the taste and quality had also declined.

Perhaps it was because she had not fully mastered the skills she learned from Shen Yan, or because her mood was affected by her mother-in-law's reproaches, her work state became less focused than before.

The guests made satisfied noises from time to time, and Guifang felt somewhat relieved, but she was more anxious and uneasy about her current situation.

She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in this highly competitive market, she had to further improve her skills and maintain the high quality of her dishes in order to retain old customers and attract new ones.

Seeing the big man eating so happily, Guifang and her mother-in-law's faces turned pale and blue. Wasn't he using Shen Yan's soup to ruin the party?

Although they were angry, the man was a big burly guy and the two of them couldn't do anything to him.

But seeing that he was eating with great relish, it also brought benefits to the stall, so a few customers came and wanted to try the food.

Soon, the stall made some money, and Grandma Guifang was not so angry anymore.

However, the few guests who had just arrived seemed to have never eaten snail noodles before. As soon as the snail noodles were served, one of them almost vomited.

"This thing smells so bad, can it really be eaten?"

Guifang nodded and assured: "Of course it's edible. Snail rice noodle smells bad but tastes delicious."

The man watched, gritted his teeth, took a bite of the snail noodles with a fearless attitude, and then spit it out.

"What's this taste like? This snail noodle is not authentic at all. It's even less tasty than clear soup and it's inedible."

They were eating Guifang's rice noodles with snails, but they were simply smelly. After a while, a dog came to the roadside, originally wanting to beg for food.

The customer wanted to give the snail noodles to the dog, but the dog looked disgusted and ran away.

The guest was very upset and asked Guifang: "Look, dogs won't eat your snail rice noodles?"

Several other people also echoed: "What the hell is going on? Isn't it said that there is a snail noodle shop on the official road that is surprisingly delicious? Why does it taste like this?"

Another man explained, "The delicious one you're talking about is from Shen Yan's. They sell out quickly and close early. This is Liu Ji's. It's only been open for a month, so naturally the taste isn't as good as theirs."

After much deliberation, everyone's eyes finally fell on the burly man.

"But why do you see how he eats so deliciously?"

The man just now was very curious. Everyone was eating rice noodles from the same restaurant, but he ate it with relish. Could it be that the same snail noodles have two flavors?

The woman at the stall nearby said, "He just got the soup from Shen Yan. He only bought rice noodles from this store. Their soup stock is made in secret, so it tastes very delicious."

Guifang's mother-in-law was furious and scolded the woman who was setting up a stall next to her: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Shut up!"

As she spoke, she held her purse tightly, fearing that these people would ask her to return the money.

The woman next to him sneered, "I was talking about the snail noodles, not you."

Then she said to the diners, "If you want to eat snail noodles in the future, you have to come earlier. Shen Yan is very careful about the snail noodles she prepares. She will leave once they are sold out. She won't try to make a few more bucks."

"Other brands are just imitations of others. They only imitate the appearance but not the essence. How can the taste be the same?"

The woman was very proud because she remembered that the first stall on this official road was Shen Yan, and the snail noodles sold by Shen Yan were the most authentic and the first of their kind.

Guifang, on the other hand, was an ungrateful person. She learned skills from others and eventually opened her own stall, where she was stabbed by her master.

Even if I raised a watchdog, it wouldn't be as ungrateful as her. It's what she deserves that her business is in a slump now.

No normal person would do such an ungrateful thing. The woman who was setting up a stall next to them also felt indignant.

A few customers left quickly, and then no one came to Liu Ji's stall again.

Guifang's mother-in-law was so angry that she wanted to strangle the woman who was selling things at the stall next to her. But there was nothing she could do at the moment. Since there was no business, she could only take her daughter-in-law Guifang to pack up the stall and go home.

As soon as she got home, Guifang packed up her things and prepared to pour the rice noodles and soup that had not been sold today into the pigpen as food.

Just as I was about to fall down, my mother-in-law came and slapped me.

"How can you be so unpredictable about living? Food and daily necessities are all very expensive, and these snacks and other ingredients also cost money. It's such a waste to just throw them away like this."

Guifang looked aggrieved, but she also meant well.

"Mom, this has been sitting there for four days. Even I can smell it. The soup stock has a rancid smell. Our business is getting worse and worse. I think it has something to do with the stale ingredients. When I worked for Shen Yan, all her soup stock and ingredients were changed every day. There was absolutely no overnight stock."

Guifang's mother-in-law didn't take her words to heart at all: "Don't fool me here, the ingredients are all made according to your instructions, they are absolutely fresh. Now that business is not good, you want to find an excuse to shirk responsibility, and don't even think about finding a way? Now, you are really getting bolder and bolder. You don't think about your own reasons for the bad business, but you still yell at me. You are really rebellious!"

The old lady was very angry. Not only did she scold Guifang, she also pinched the flesh on her arm while scolding her. She was very vicious and her eyes almost popped out. It was so scary.

"Hurry up and get to work, or I'll be rude to you!"

At this point, Guifang's mother-in-law kicked Guifang, and the pots and pans on the dining cart were scattered all over the floor. Guifang had to pack up these things while enduring the scolding and could only cry silently.

However, at this time, she happened to see that her children not only did not come to help her, but their eyes were extremely cold. Guifang felt really helpless.

After scolding her daughter-in-law Guifang, Guifang's mother-in-law naturally went to her son Liu Wei's room.

Liu Wei's room was filled with the smell of alcohol, and he was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, looking extremely depressed.

Seeing her son like this, Old Lady Liu was naturally very anxious and said to her son, "Liu Wei, tell me, where did you buy the pork I asked you to buy the other day?"

This pork is not bought for personal consumption, but to be used as food for stalls.
