Rise From the Humble

"One hundred and twenty-three, one hundred and twenty-four, one and thirty-eight"

In the pastry shop where the food is delicious, the little palace maid Xi'er tilted her head and counted with her fingers, not knowing what she was counting.

"What are you counting?"

Just when the little palace maid Xi'er was concentrating on counting, a voice without a trace of emotion sounded faintly behind her.

Along with this faint voice, Princess Ning'an appeared behind the little maid Xi'er with a dark face. Another little maid on the side wanted to remind Xi'er that it was the princess who was asking questions, but As soon as she saw the princess's dark face, the little palace maid immediately folded her hands and stood by the side, as quiet as a New Year picture.

"I'm counting the people who eat at Zhuji. Not long after the store opposite opened, so many people have come to their store. This time, there are more people than we have in the past six months combined."

The little palace maid Xi'er's own reflex arc is relatively long, and because she was concentrating on counting the number of people across from Zhu Ji, she could not hear Princess Ning'an's voice at the first time. After hearing someone ask her what she was counting, she subconsciously counted one to five. He answered 10 times, and even recommended it to others. From the booming business of Zhu Ji's shop opposite, he lamented the bleak business of his own shop. There was a tone of envy and jealousy in his voice, and he was so stimulated that he couldn't help it.

As Xi'er answered, she turned around, and the dark-faced Princess Ning'an suddenly appeared in her field of vision. Xi'er's sighing voice suddenly stopped, like a stupid duck being pinched by the neck.

I coughed so much that I couldn't hold it in.

My heart was shaking even more, I was dead now.

If I had known that this question was from Princess Ning'an, I would not have answered like this even if I killed myself.

Ever since Zhu Ji opened the store, the princess's face had not been good-looking, especially when waves of customers came into Zhu Ji's fast food restaurant. The princess was as jealous as a rabbit and her face turned blue.

"Oh, there are one hundred and thirty-eight guests on the other side, you are looking so carefully." Princess Ning'an looked at the little palace maid Xi'er with a smile, but the smile on her face was very fake, not smiling but smiling.

It's really dark clouds that are threatening to destroy the city.

"Uh." Although the little palace maid Xi'er is not very clever, she can still tell whether Princess Ning'an is happy or unhappy after being by Princess Ning'an's side for so many years. When she heard Princess Ning'an's words, she shivered. Don't know how to answer.

"Uh, what? I'm playing with you. I'm in Cao Ying but my heart is in Han Dynasty. I asked you to take good care of the store to attract business, but I didn't expect you to focus all your attention on the other side, Zhu Ji. Haha, it seems like it's me. The temple in Weixinju is too small to accommodate a Bodhisattva like you. That’s all. Since you care so much about Zhu Ji, and I see that the business opposite seems to be busy, I might as well send you to the other side to do the work. A cook is ready."

Princess Ning'an looked at the little palace maid Xi'er with a non-smiling smile, slowly stretched out her little hand, pinched an orchid finger, and pointed to the opposite side.

"No, princess, I am wrong. I will never dare to do it again." The little palace maid Xi'er turned pale with fright after hearing Princess Ning'an's deterioration.

"Hmph! Next time, watch your skin carefully!" Princess Ning'an snorted coldly, then turned around and left.

The little palace maid Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief as she survived the disaster, her chest rising and falling.

Princess Ning'an was sitting in the shop, looking at Zhu Ji's customers coming and going in an endless stream, not to mention how envious and jealous she felt in her heart.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Are these people blind? Across the street is a peddler selling broken pigs, why are they swarming in?

yes

It tastes good.

However, no matter how delicious it is, it is still a piece of cake! I heard that the cook opposite is a wild cook from the countryside.

In my shop, all the snacks are carefully made by the royal chef. The flour is ground from high-quality wheat sent as tribute from various places. Every ingredient is carefully selected. Only the nobles in the palace can enjoy it.

This princess is kind-hearted and praises you, but you still don't appreciate it. Instead of eating the imperial snacks, you go and eat the filthy pigs!

They are all a bunch of blind people!

Um

Princess Ning'an's eyes were getting redder and redder, like a pair of rubies.

In fact, not only Princess Ning'an, but also the shopkeepers of the nearby Sihai Restaurant, Shilixiang and other restaurants all had eyes as red as rabbits.

After hearing the news about the opening of Zhuji Fast Food, these shopkeepers all put down their work and appeared near Zhuji Fast Food, silently paying attention to the opening of Zhuji Fast Food, a new competitor.

As for the store, they won't go in, and they won't contribute to Zhu Ji's business.

In fact, in the past, they would not have considered a small restaurant like Zhuji Fast Food as a rival, but after tasting the free braised pig sesame provided by Zhuji last time, they had to pay more attention to Zhuji.

The braised pig sesame made by Zhu Ji is really delicious.

It's not like they haven't done any work in the past few days. They want to steal Zhu Ji's unique recipe and cooking method of braised pig sesame. However, Zhu Ji has obviously been prepared for it. He is very strict about braised pig sesame and is guarded day and night. They couldn't even get close to the stove, so they had to give up their plan to steal the recipe.

After seeing Zhu Ji's endless stream of diners, the eyes of these shopkeepers became redder and redder, and they couldn't help but feel more and more angry.

"Haha, Mr. Ma, I heard that Zhu Ping'an's little shop selling pigs is right in front. Why don't we go over there and take a look to see how 'hot' Zhuangyuanlang's business is."

Holding a folding fan in his hand, Ouyang Zishi appeared elegantly on the street where Zhuji Fast Food is located. He smiled and said to an official next to him. When he mentioned the word "hot", Ouyang Zishi's mouth turned into a smile. A completely sarcastic smile broke out.

Zhu Pingan! ! !

Humph, you robbed me of being the number one scholar, robbed me of the Hanlin Academy, and got entangled with my established fiancée!

In the past few days, there have been memorials, bank checks, and scripture lectures. I have been dancing hard and being in the limelight.

I've long been unhappy with you, but I just don't have a good idea, and because my uncle has told me to hide my capabilities and bide my time in the near future.

hehe

I didn't expect that you, a top scholar, would go into business despite being so powerful and stupid, and you would still engage in a dirty and despicable business, which became a joke in the official circles.

I was passing by to see a joke, so I wouldn't disobey my uncle's advice.

hehe

You can already imagine the smelly and deserted scene in Zhu Ping'an's shop. It will be very interesting to go back and tell everyone about it.

"Haha, okay, but just take a look. If it's a meal, I will definitely not remember it. I'm not as good as Zhu Ping'an, but I can't afford to be like a pig."

The official next to Ouyang Zishi smiled and replied, "Oh, when I looked up, I realized that this official was also an acquaintance of Zhu Pingan - Ma Huating, a lecturer in Prince Jing's Mansion."

Also, after Ouyang Zishi won the Jinshi, he was assigned to watch the government in Prince Jing's Mansion, and Ma Huating happened to be the lecturer of Prince Jing's Mansion, so it was normal for the two to know each other.
