“To lift one’s spouse.”

After returning residence that day, the 2 of them shortly freshened up and went to mattress.

Within the following two days, Cheng Yun took Yang Hongjin to the shop to assist out. The workload in Liu Wen’s place was an excessive amount of to deal with, so he briefly closed the store in Tengyun City and moved everybody to Nanming Metropolis. As soon as they grew to become proficient, they might return to their roles as managers.

The brand new store was as in style as ever, and it was packed daily for a number of days in a row. There have been so many individuals ready exterior the door that it was overwhelming. Nonetheless, attributable to inadequate meals provides, the restaurant might solely distribute 100 quantity playing cards every day. Consequently, the primary query folks in Nanming Metropolis requested once they met was, “Did you handle to get a quantity card for Yueqiong Tower?”

The shortage of quantity playing cards led to some folks speeding to seize them early within the morning after which reselling them at excessive costs. Though this example not directly mirrored the recognition of Yueqiong Tower and created a uncommon scene within the metropolis, it additionally harmed the pursuits of real prospects.

Cheng Yun didn’t count on to come across scalpers even in historic instances. If this occurred within the trendy period, it could undoubtedly develop into a well-known and in style restaurant. He thought of it and launched a ‘real-name system’ strategy.

Within the present period, there have been no identification playing cards, and other people relied on signing or stamping when depositing cash or pawning on the pawnshop. However everybody assumed that this methodology was sufficient to establish an individual and didn’t suspect any impersonation.

Due to this fact, Cheng Yun got here up with the concept individuals who needed to get a quantity card needed to stamp their handprint and signal their title. Once they have been known as inside to eat, they’d to offer their title and ensure their identification.

Initially, when this strategy was proposed, Liu Wen was involved that prospects may really feel disrespected once they needed to signal and stamp even simply to have a meal. It appeared a bit extreme. Nonetheless, when this methodology was put into follow, everybody confirmed their assist.

There have been many rich households in Nanming Metropolis, and they might ship their servants to Yueqiong Tower early within the morning to line up for a quantity card. Nonetheless, some folks, pushed by the will to generate income, endured the chilly climate and slept on the entrance of Yueqiong Tower in a single day, ready till the subsequent day when it opened. For those who confronted them, they might declare that they only needed to attempt the recent pot and couldn’t hand over their quantity card.

Though many individuals needed to eat at Yueqiong Tower, it wasn’t price it to make their servants wait in line all evening only for one meal. In the long run, many individuals had to decide on to pay and resolve the scenario.

In spite of everything, spending a dozen or so yuan to purchase a quantity card was not an enormous deal for rich households residing within the metropolis.

Aside from these folks, there have been additionally many meals lovers who got here as a result of they’d heard concerning the new novelty of “sizzling pot” on the new Yueqiong Tower. Primarily based on the title alone, it was unattainable to inform what sort of new dish it was, so many individuals traveled lengthy distances to discover it.

Nonetheless, the shortage of quantity playing cards and the emergence of scalpers discouraged these real prospects. It even escalated to the purpose of bidding for the quantity playing cards, with some reaching a worth of 1 or two taels. Many individuals who needed to eat couldn’t afford it.

These scalpers harmed the pursuits of real prospects, and even the federal government officers got here to grasp the scenario and examined whether or not Liu Wen had an answer.

The recognition of the brand new Yueqiong Tower was anticipated by everybody, but it surely exceeded everybody’s expectations. In the long run, Liu Wen had no alternative however to just accept Cheng Yun’s suggestion of implementing the ‘real-name system.’

After this measure was launched, quantity playing cards might now not be transferred to others. Rich retailers who spent some huge cash however couldn’t match their numbers have been stopped on the door. No matter who they have been, everybody within the ready space of Yueqiong Tower was handled equally. This made many shoppers who couldn’t get a quantity card really feel relieved, whereas the scalpers have been held accountable and needed to compensate. Progressively, this development pale away, and real prospects who needed to eat at Yueqiong Tower might lastly calm down.

Nanming Metropolis was a distance away from Tie Village, and as soon as the operation of the brand new store was on monitor, Cheng Yun now not wanted to assist out on the restaurant.

He and Yang Hongjin stayed at residence, diligently researching new dishes. Now, Yueqiong Tower was additionally part of him. He was now not simply working for another person, and Cheng Yun grew to become extra devoted than earlier than.

Nonetheless, previously two days, Yang Hongjin gave the impression to be all the time working round for some motive. Typically, he wouldn’t come again even when it was time for lunch, inflicting Cheng Yun to fret.

Maybe it was just like the rebellious section that each youngster went by way of. Cheng Yun comforted himself in his coronary heart that as a semi-parent, he shouldn’t be too strict. So, regardless of the concern, he was glad to see Yang Hongjin develop and hoped he might have extra publicity to the world.

Just lately, there was discuss within the village about street development exterior the town. Cheng Yun had heard a number of remarks from folks at close by tables when he was eating in Nanming Metropolis earlier than, however he didn’t pay a lot consideration to it at the moment. Nonetheless, as increasingly more folks talked about it not too long ago, Cheng Yun steadily understood a few of the particulars.

However it was the information handed on to him by Liu Wen that actually made him understand the significance of this matter. It turned out that the earlier speculations have been appropriate. Some high-ranking officers from the capital have been planning to go to, and it was exactly due to the bustling Yueqiong Tower that had not too long ago gained fame.

Beforehand, when working in Tengyun City, Yueqiong Tower had already gained fairly a status. Some folks even purchased a number of jars of Sauerkraut as presents when visiting relations. It was contemporary, respectable, and offered properly.

Consequently, jars of Sauerkraut bearing the title of Yueqiong Tower circulated in main cities and ultimately reached the capital.

Approaching the year-end, the officers within the capital normally inspected the native scenario in numerous areas. Prior to now, they might ship solely three or 4 folks to every place. Nonetheless, this 12 months, as a result of fame of Yueqiong Tower, it was rumored that almost ten officers have been coming!

Early within the morning, Liu Wen acquired a message from the Lord of Nanming Metropolis. This time, the banquet for the officers from the capital could be held on the new Yueqiong Tower, in order that they wanted to arrange upfront.

That’s why Cheng Yun began taking note of the street development exterior the town.

The knowledge Li Fan delivered to him was that the preparations for the street development have been presently underway within the metropolis. It was estimated that in 5 days, all of the supplies could be prepared, and so they might start.

Throughout this era, many individuals in Nanming Metropolis registered to take part within the street development. The challenge was anticipated to final for ten days, however as a result of current unhealthy climate and occasional heavy snowfall, they tried to shorten the length as a lot as doable. Nonetheless, the compensation for your entire challenge was fastened, which meant that whatever the precise variety of days labored, every particular person would obtain 5 hundred yuan as remuneration.

Having the ability to earn a lot cash in simply ten days, a number of of the brand new recruits employed by Yueqiong Tower had already left. Though working at Yueqiong Tower might earn them over 100 yuan of silver in a month, in comparison with the federal government’s job, having the ability to earn 5 hundred yuan in a short while was tempting. Many individuals selected to work on the street development to have a greater New 12 months.

Liu Wen requested Cheng Yun to provide you with an answer and offered him with a problem.

Sauerkraut jars have been comparatively low-cost objects. They have been appropriate for atypical households as presents, however they wouldn’t be spectacular sufficient for officers. Liu Wen requested Cheng Yun to provide you with one thing extra valuable. The presents offered to the officers might open up a brand new trade chain sooner or later.

Due to this fact, previously few days, Cheng Yun had been secluding himself at residence, researching new merchandise and never even having time to take care of Yang Hongjin’s issues.

After pondering for a very long time, Cheng Yun lastly got here up with one thing that wasn’t too costly however nonetheless elegant.

There was a maple tree within the again mountain. Final time when he and Yang Hongjin have been chopping timber within the again mountain, Cheng Yun initially didn’t concentrate. However later, once they reduce down the trunk, white liquid flowed out from inside. Earlier than he might cease him, that fool used his finger to style it.

Cheng Yun had been offended about this matter for a very long time, however he found that it was the sap of a sugar maple tree.

He had seen documentaries earlier than about the way to acquire sap and make it into syrup. Earlier than, he had no cash and no circumstances to do it himself, so he stored it in thoughts. However now, with Liu Wen as his robust backing, he might immediately put making maple syrup on the agenda.

He collected a small bucket of sugar maple tree sap from the again mountain and when he obtained residence, heated it in line with his reminiscence of the steps.

Since he didn’t have a thermometer, Cheng Yun might solely estimate the temperature throughout the heating course of. Happily, he succeeded on his first try, turning a bucket of tree sap right into a cup of syrup.

He used chopsticks to style it. The thick and candy syrup was a bit like honey, but it surely had a novel perfume. It was candy with out being cloying, refreshing.

Cheng Yun saved half of the maple syrup, whereas the opposite half was poured into pre-made molds, forming candies of the identical measurement. He then positioned them within the ice cellar for refrigeration.

Now that the climate had turned cooler, the cooling course of was a lot quicker in comparison with utilizing the underground cellar.

Quickly, the syrup started to solidify. Cheng Yun took one out, tapped it, and the floor was agency. He tasted one, and the outer layer was crispy. When he took a chew, the syrup inside hadn’t utterly solidified, making a smooth texture.

Nonetheless, Cheng Yun knew that in transportation, the candies may soften or solidify much more. It was past his management. So long as the candies had the specified form, it could be sufficient.

He packed the syrup and candies collectively and deliberate to have Li Fan take them again to Liu Wen when he got here subsequent time.

Simply as he completed his work, Yang Hongjin lastly returned residence.

Cheng Yun heard him getting into and sighed inwardly. He had deliberate to scold him, because it was already previous midday, and he had simply returned residence. If he didn’t discuss to him correctly, who knew when he would do not forget that he had a spouse at residence?

Nonetheless, earlier than Cheng Yun might say something, Yang Hongjin rushed in with nice pleasure. He gave Cheng Yun an enormous hug.

“W-What’s happening?” Cheng Yun was startled by his sudden motion and took a small step again.

Yang Hongjin couldn’t conceal his pleasure and pleasure. He simply lifted Cheng Yun by the waist, spinning round whereas excitedly saying, “Spouse, I’ve made it!”

“Made it in what??” Cheng Yun was confused by his actions and forgot to be offended.

Yang Hongjin gently put him down, laughing stupidly for a very long time. His foolishness made Cheng Yun unable to get offended.

Cheng Yun pinched Yang Hongjin’s face, desiring to scold him, however the subsequent phrases from Yang Hongjin made him freeze in place. His smile steadily disappeared, and his temper immediately plummeted.

“Spouse, I’ve already mentioned every thing! In a number of days, I can be a part of the folks from the village and begin working exterior the town! Hongjin desires to earn some huge cash to assist his spouse and let his spouse stay a great life!”
