Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: A Fly Is Small, But It’s Still at (Sixth Update)_1 Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: A Fly Is Small, But It’s Still at (Sixth Update)_1 “Ah, what’s that? Are you getting ideas too? But this was originally Shen Family’s idea to revive Zuixian Building; if your Extre Flavors were to follow in Zuixian Building’s footsteps, that would be quite the inferior move,” Yang Wenxiao said.
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
Indeed, she had considered having Extre Flavors also serve Japanese and Korean cuisine. With the Shen Family declining, it would be normal to take advantage of the chaos and transfer Zuixian Building’s signature dishes to Extre Flavors.
But with Yang Wenxiao’s words coming to this, she had to quash that thought.
However, thinking back to what Wan Chang had made that day, she felt reassured.
Chinese Cuisine is vast and profound. The cuisine of this dynasty was far from that of later generations, not to ntion Japanese and Korean cuisine, which were limited to the sa old dishes, like sushi, rice cakes, grilled ats, kimchi, and such, with monotonous variety.
Even if she introduced these dishes to Extre Flavors, they wouldn’t bring in much silver.
Besides, so people were not accustod to these foreign flavors. Even though these dishes beca popular in later ages, they could never occupy the mainstream status.
The stomachs of the Great Daqi people were more accustod to their own country’s culinary palette.
She didn’t believe her own Chinese dishes could not compete with Zuixian Building’s array of Japanese and Korean dishes.
With this thought, she felt much better and beca curious to know more, “Great Emperor, where did Shen Family find this Wan Chang?”
“From Wuluo Country.”
“Wuluo Country?” Qiao Xiaomai blinked, ‘Wulo’, Pirates? ‘Luo’, Silla?
Was this ancient Japan combined with the Korean Peninsula?
Was it that soone had unified these two countries?
“In the southeast of Daqi, there’s a small country, connected with so islands in the sea, it’s a vassal state of Daqi,” Yang Wenxiao explained briefly.
His explanation confird Qiao Xiaomai’s guess; no wonder Wan Chang’s offerings included both sushi and rice balls as well as rice cakes and kimchi.
Ah, Yang Wenxiao had gotten ahead of her after all.
Although these foods could not claim mainstream status, their novelty and indeed quite passable flavors had an advantage.
And there went many little silver coins flying away.
With this in mind, she lost the desire to continue the conversation and excused herself to prepare dinner, leaving the Main Hall.
She headed to the small kitchen first, casually setting a ti-consuming soup to stew; then she went to find Tongsanlang in the rear hall.
Seeing her look unhappy, Tongsanlang quickly asked what had happened, and she pursed her lips, recounting the incident with Zuixian Building; she ended with a complaint, “You’d think with the loot from the Shen Family, the National Treasury wouldn’t have to worry for several more years, so why would Yang Wenxiao still be interested in a asly piece of ‘fly at’ like Zuixian Building?”
At this, Tongsanlang laughed, “It’s certainly not mosquito at; during its pri, Zuixian Building was almost on par with Extre Flavors, with all their shops combined earning nearly a million taels a year.”
“That much?” Qiao Xiaomai raised her eyebrows.
“That was at its peak; it can’t compare now,” said Tongsanlang. “But for the Yang Family, it remains a good money-making avenue.”
The Yang Family rose to prominence later; all the money-making businesses were already taken, and they couldn’t just seize them without reason, so for years, the Yang Family could only watch the Aristocratic Families make money.
Now that they had a chance to get a foothold in the food industry, Yang Wenxiao naturally couldn’t wait to claim Zuixian Building for the Yang Family.
After hearing this explanation, Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips, “Has the Yang Family made so little with iron and salt?”
Salt and iron were in constant demand and firmly in the hands of the Yang Family; those were the most profitable businesses and indispensable even to the common people.
[Good night!]
