Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

Yan Wenli glanced at the high sun.

Buy? Buy my ass!

It takes an hour to get to Ping'an County.

People in the county have to get up early to queue, let alone people from other places.

Previously, he would rush back from the capital in the middle of the night just to get a bite to eat.

"It's too late, we can't have any now. If you want some, you'll have to wait until tomorrow," Yan Wenli said.

He was even considering resigning from his official post and returning to his hometown to eat and drink all day long.

Unlike now, when we're living a miserable life.

"Then tomorrow."

"But I have to attend the morning court session tomorrow, and if I go to Ping'an County..."

"I'm not going." Pei Yuan said bluntly.

Yan Wenli: "..."

He wanted to, but he didn't dare.

"Lord Pei, could you..." Yan Wenli's quick thinking kicked in, "Could you bring some back for me? Anything is fine, I can pay ten times the price!"

He was willing to go to any lengths to enjoy delicious food!

"Can."

Upon hearing the word "yes," Yan Wenli was overjoyed.

Pei Yuan is actually quite nice; he was even willing to bring him food.

"Thank you, Lord Pei. I wish you a pleasant and enjoyable meal tomorrow!"

......

After resting for a day, Shen Qing woke up very early the next day.

When she woke up, Tuanzi was nestled next to her pillow.

After petting the cat a couple of times, she washed up, got ready, and went straight to Zhiwei Restaurant.

Zhiwei Restaurant is very close to Zhiweixuan Restaurant, and they are on the same street. Standing in front of Zhiwei Restaurant, you can even see the long queue in front of Zhiweixuan Restaurant.

Shen Qing glanced at the entrance of Zhiweixuan before looking away.

Clearly, Zhiweixuan is still very popular, and she has no worries.

Today, the Zhiwei Restaurant is deserted, and the signboard and decorations are clearly new.

It needs to be started from scratch.

Shen Qing stepped into the restaurant.

Generally speaking, in ancient times, restaurants had a main hall on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor.

But this Zhiwei Restaurant is different; the hall is surrounded by stalls, each seemingly preparing to sell different foods.

In the center of the hall were some tables, chairs and benches.

The second floor consists of individual open-plan shops.

Overall, it doesn't feel like a restaurant; it's more like a modern food court.

The restaurant also has a backyard, which contains a woodshed, a warehouse, and a huge kitchen.

Shen Qing looked around and decided that she would start selling grilled sausages today.

She went to the kitchen in the backyard, opened the system, and directly purchased one hundred pure meat sausages.

Almost instantly, sausages and spices appeared out of thin air.

Shen Qing returned to the hall with the ingredients and was about to randomly choose a stall when she noticed some changes at the stall closest to the restaurant entrance.

The place was previously empty, but now there are barbecue grills, and a sign hangs at the top of the stall with the words "Grilled Sausage" written in large characters.

"That's quite thorough," Shen Qing muttered to himself.

She found a large red paper, picked up her pen and wrote: "Today, Zhiwei Restaurant opens. We are selling grilled sausages. Limited to one hundred servings, first come, first served."

A large red paper was pasted on the entrance of the restaurant.

The restaurant doors were wide open, but no one came in.

Everyone was rushing to Zhiweixuan, and many diners were so focused on the food that they didn't even recognize Shen Qing.

"It's strangely deserted."

Shen Qing decided to grill the sausages first, mainly because she really wanted to eat them.

Light the charcoal fire, skewer the sausages with bamboo sticks, and place them on the wire mesh.

Before long, the sausage casings gradually tightened and became transparent under the high temperature, and the oil seeped out from the meat filling, releasing a strong aroma of oil that floated straight out of the grill.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"It smells so good coming from Zhiwei Restaurant!"

"What does this say? Grilled sausage, limited to 100 servings? I can't take it anymore, my mouth is watering."

"..."

The aroma attracted several passersby. Today, Zhiweixuan was selling Four Delicacies Soup, which doesn't have such an overpowering aroma.

Immediately, everyone started talking about it at the door.

But it's strange that a newly opened restaurant is doing something so unusual, like offering limited quantities; it just feels like a gimmick.

"Is this Zhiwei Restaurant trying to imitate Zhiweixuan? They even have the same name, and it's so close to Zhiweixuan. They must be trying to steal Zhiweixuan's business." Zhao Cheng swallowed and shouted.

His younger sister, Zhao Wan, is now helping Madam Shen run Zhiweixuan.

Now that this imitator has appeared, he must bring this imitator down.

Otherwise, how could I face Madam Shen?

The name "Shen Niangzi" has an unprecedented appeal in Ping'an County.

Therefore, when Zhao Cheng shouted this, the others echoed him:

"Yes, we don't recognize anyone except Madam Shen's Zhiweixuan."

"Trying to imitate Zhiweixuan? No way!"

"It smells delicious, but the restaurant owner is a despicable person. He actually did such a disgusting thing while Madam Shen wasn't around. Even if it smells good, I won't go in!"

"..."

Zhao Cheng was extremely satisfied. No one could replace Madam Shen's position in the culinary world, and he would be Madam Shen's staunch supporter!

"The manager inside, come out quickly, change the sign, and apologize to Zhiweixuan and Madam Shen. If you do that, we won't hold it against you!"

He drew out his voice and shouted.

Shen Qing couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to. She was peacefully grilling sausages when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and she was even labeled an imitator.

Goodness, she's imitating herself, isn't she?

But she didn't rush out. The sausage would be ready soon, and if she moved it now, the taste wouldn't be as perfect.

She has always been extremely serious about food.

laugh--

A drop of oil drips from the seam of the sausage casing into the charcoal fire, a wisp of white smoke rises, and the aroma of charred sausage fills the air.

perfect!

She quickly brushed on the secret sauce, then sprinkled layers of chili and other spice powder.

The fragrant grilled sausage is ready.

"Come out here right now and apologize!!"

"Yes, apologize to Zhiweixuan immediately and change the sign!"

"We will absolutely not allow anyone to damage the reputation of Zhiweixuan!"

"Now that you've changed your signboard, we might consider dining at your restaurant!"

"..."

The crowd outside shouted even louder, but they couldn't help sniffing.

It smells so good, so incredibly good!

Some people even wanted to rush in and see what smelled so good.

Just then, Shen Qing came out.

She was holding two freshly grilled sausages in her hand.

The sausages are plump and glossy, with the casings having been grilled over charcoal to a deep bronze color, and the surface bearing charred brown marks and two or three small, naturally cracked openings.

Through the small opening, you can see the dark red meat filling inside, with glistening fat embedded between the lean meat, and meat juices slowly dripping out...
