Chapter 1300: Chapter 1099: Extensive Publicity_1 Chapter 1300: Chapter 1099: Extensive Publicity_1 After these people returned to the Capital City, they imdiately had soone wash the crayfish and slaughter pigs and chickens. Since none of them were the masters of their own households, spending so much silver all at once, they had to have an explanation for the family head.
Indeed, the chefs of their residences’ cuisines were not as good as Qiao Xiaomai’s, but the ingredients were genuinely top-notch. Even if cooked with ordinary well water, it couldn’t mask the taste of the ingredients.
However, when they ate it, they always felt it wasn’t worth so much silver.
Crayfish were a novel delicacy, their bright red appearance looked festive, and they tasted good too, but still not worth five hundred and eighty-eight taels a pound!
And this pork—good, very good, superb even—but a single pig almost cost two thousand taels…
However, the Sour Plum Soup was excellent, both cool and sweet. Drinking a bowl in the height of sumr really made even the pores relax. And it was even provided for free, which especially pleased them!
There were also these sweet potato noodles, which tasted quite good and were also complintary.
But speaking of these sweet potato noodles, when sweet potatoes sold for just a few hundred wen per pound, how did their price soar to the skies in just one year, like a monkey climbing to the heavens?
Even with the al personally prepared by Qiao Xiaomai, they felt that tens of thousands of taels of silver were misspent.
As family heads, even those with a penchant for fine foods thought about matters from various angles. Managing an aristocratic family or a large clan wasn’t an easy task. While the items were excellent, spending tens of thousands of taels of silver felt like a huge loss.
However, the silver was already spent, and they certainly couldn’t ask Qiao Xiaomai to return it.
In order to prove their silver wasn’t misspent, they could only drag others down with them. If everyone shared in the loss, it didn’t highlight their loss as much.
So the next ti these people went out, they actively began to promote Qiao Xiaomai’s products or simply invited others to visit their hos, treating them with goods purchased from Qiao Xiaomai.
Their type of households would never engage in commoners’ talk, such as how much sothing costs or exclamations of “Wow, that’s expensive! Can you give a discount?” when discussing items.
Coming from well-off backgrounds and maintaining their status, they would only express interest after hearing soone else’s promotion and inquire about the quality of the goods, never broaching the subject of price.
With family heads personally promoting the products, the influence was comparable to a head mother promoting Floral Dew. The items Qiao Xiaomai offered quickly beca as popular as waterlons and turned into legends of their own.
Thus, gourt enthusiasts grew restless. The goods they brought back were nothing special, but the main attraction was the al personally prepared by Qiao Xiaomai for those who went to purchase waterlons.
Aside from the Royal Family, few had tasted Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking; just for that reason, many hitched up their carriages and prepared to travel to the manor.
The opportunity to taste Qiao Xiaomai’s culinary skills, as well as to savor waterlons that had beco legendary, made the journey absolutely worthwhile.
Consequently, the road from the Capital City to Bailu Town saw an increase in luxurious carriages. As if by agreent, they all set off at the sa ti, forming an impressive convoy that stretched for miles.
Little did Qiao Xiaomai, who was far away in the manor, know that she was about to personally arrange a banquet. She had been chastised by Feng Huihui that day but was quickly consoled by banknotes, so she took it as if nothing had happened and went about things as usual.
That day, Tong Tiehu ca to inform her that he and Zhu Hongyun, along with Tong Er-lang’s child, were going to hold a Full Moon Banquet.
Initially, Zhu Hongyun had been mixed up in the matter of releasing the Zhang Family’s Tong Xingda, so Tong Tiehu had confined Zhu Hongyun.
Pregnant won are already emotionally unstable, and Zhu Hongyun, having been locked up, experienced significant emotional fluctuations and ate poorly. This affected the unborn child, who was born prematurely, as tiny as a kitten and in constant danger of not surviving. After being nourished at the dical Clinic for several months, the child finally pulled through.
Therefore, the previously delayed Full Moon Banquet was now being arranged.
