Chapter 361: Business Was Booming

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

During the period of time that followed, the porridge with lean meat and century egg and other dishes with century egg quickly spread from the palace to the outside.

Coupled with the influence of Cloud Scent Court, century eggs became the most sought-after ingredient in the capital.

The nobles and high-ranking officials took pride in being able to eat century eggs at home and serve their guests century eggs at home.

Cloud Scent Court had gained some fame for the century eggs, but they had gained even more benefits. In one leap, it became the most famous brothel in the capital and firmly established its foothold.

Under such circumstances, some of the restaurant businesses and the customers who spent money in Cloud Scent Court smelled a business opportunity.

Some of them found their way to Qin Xiaoyao’s century egg workshop by asking around for information. Others were introduced by Yun Niang.

After that, the business of the century egg workshop improved day by day.

Liu Ling brought his assistant and established working relationships with many large restaurants in the capital. They would supply these large restaurants on a long-term basis.

At the same time, some merchants also contacted Liu Ling directly.

The number of large orders continued to increase.

Almost at the same time, Qin Xiaoyao’s three porridge shops were also ready.

With everyone working hard in the Marquis’s residence, the three porridge shops opened on three different auspicious days one after another.

Qin Xiaoyao’s shop opening plan was the same as those in Mountain Spring Town. As there was a lot of activity on the opening day, there were many people who came to watch the excitement.

After tasting the porridge and breakfast items, the customers were all amazed.

This was especially true for breakfast items such as the century egg porridge, sesame balls, and sticky rice cakes.

As a result, a large number of customers applied for membership cards to the porridge shops. The three porridge shops opened their businesses smoothly and quickly got on the right track.

Qin Xiaoyao’s series of actions attracted the attention of many people.

This included Empress Jia and many of the court officials.

Empress Jia was also a loyal fan of the porridge with lean meat and century egg, and she was full of praise for Qin Xiaoyao’s business acumen.

When she found out that her daughter was becoming more familiar with Qin Xiaoyao and had even participated in Qin Xiaoyao’s business plan, she paid more attention to Qin Xiaoyao.

The more she paid attention to her, the more highly she thought of her.

What an excellent woman. Not only could she fight and win battles, but she could also run a business so successfully. She was simply killing a whole group of men!

“Your master is indeed a good person. She’s the role model for the women of our Great Jin State.

“You should learn well from your master. I don’t expect you to be like her and go to the battlefield to make contributions.

“If you can learn her business skills and manage the business that I will give you in the future, that will be good enough.”

She doted on her youngest daughter very much.

There was no need to use her for a political marriage, nor did the girl need to make any sacrifices for the Imperial Court.

She only hoped that her little girl could live a peaceful and smooth-going life without worries, and not be bound by too many social norms that predicated that men were superior to women.

“How can I do that? I want to learn all of Master’s skills!

“I keep my job to earn money for my livelihood. 1 go to the battlefield to kill enemies for my ideals,” Xiangyang proclaimed proudly.

That was what her master had told her, and she had taken it to heart.

In the future, she wanted to be like her master and become a woman with lofty ideals and aspirations!

“Haha…” Empress Jia laughed with amusement.

“Alright. Then you have to work harder,” she quickly added to encourage her daughter.

“Mm-hmm!” The little girl quickly answered in a voice full of fighting spirit.

Empress Jia was amused again.

“Bring your master to the palace tomorrow. Mother hasn’t spoken to her for some time. Since she’s free tomorrow, let’s invite her to the palace for a chat.” “Yes, Mother!” Xiangyang answered again.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyao was currently having a secret rendezvous with Song Que in the small courtyard.

She had been busy with the business recently and hadn’t paid much attention to her husband.

Now that everything was on the right track, her focus naturally returned to her husband.

“The businesses of the century egg workshop and the porridge shops are getting better by the day. Right now, Liu Ling is already preparing to continue running his shop while opening branch shops.” Qin Xiaoyao lay in Song Que’s embrace and played with a strand of his hair leisurely. She felt extremely contented.

Now, her image as the “Great Jin State’s God of Massacre” in the hearts of the people of the capital had changed quite a bit.

At the mention of “Marquis Xiaoyao,” the first thing that came to everyone’s mind was not necessarily her title of the “God of Massacre.” It might well be her century eggs and the porridge shops.

If she were given more time, she would definitely be able to continue expanding the century egg business.

At that point, not only would the people of the capital and Xiaoyao County be able to eat her century eggs, but they would also be able to consume the porridge from her porridge shop.

She even wanted all the people in the Great Jin State to be able to eat her century eggs and porridge.

Song Que glanced sideways at his wife, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Then, he asked, “Is that Liu Ling really that capable?” His tone was slightly jealous.

Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at Song Que.

A smile flashed across her eyes.

“Hubby, are you jealous?” she asked in a mischievous tone.

She had told her husband beforehand that she was going to use Liu Ling in order to avoid misunderstandings.

However, when she saw her husband getting jealous of Liu Ling, she felt quite sweet in her heart. Hehe…

The smile in Song Que’s eyes deepened.

“I heard that Liu Ling’s reputation in Cloud Scent Court was not inferior to his sister Yun Mang’s,” he continued.

When she realized that Song Que seemed to mind quite a bit, Qin Xiaoyao became a little anxious.

“So what?

“No matter how outstanding his talent and appearance are, he’s not even one ten-thousandth as good as my husband,” she said.

“Haha…” Song Que laughed in amusement instantly.

He turned his head, kissed Qin Xiaoyao on the cheek and finally decided to stop teasing her.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes darkened at once as she “counterattacked.”

The couple only stopped when it was evening.

After holding back her curiosity for a while, Qin Xiaoyao finally couldn’t contain herself anymore and asked, “The talent recruitment examination is about to begin. How are your preparations?”

Song Que opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms.

“I didn’t make any special effort to prepare for it. However, it shouldn’t be a big problem.” After all, Prime Minister Shen had already paved the way quite a lot for him.

Qin Xiaoyao’s expression darkened.

“Do you really have to participate?” she asked.

Her business was on the right track now and she had a firm foothold in the capital.

Perhaps, there was no need for them to take the risk to do those things. After all, Empress Jia did not seem to have found anything up till now.

“Mm-hmm,” Song Que replied in a low voice.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart sank.

“If you really get into the top three, Minister Shen will get you to marry into his family…” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t finish her sentence.

Only then did Song Que reach out and pull Qin Xiaoyao into his embrace.

“Don’t worry. The marriage won’t happen,” he said in a low voice. After saying that, he kissed Qin Xiaoyao on the head.

Qin Xiaoyao struggled to break free.

“You think it won’t happen just because you said so?

“Shen Rong is just a weak woman. Can she withstand Minister Shen’s coercion?

“At that point, if Minister Shen forcefully coerces her, Shen Rong will accept her fate. What can you do?”

Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao and didn’t reply for a moment.

This made Qin Xiaoyao even angrier.

“Let me tell you, Song Que. If you really dare to marry into the Shen family or do something to let me down.. I’ll…”
