Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120 The Charm of the Novel_1 Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120 The Charm of the Novel_1 “Printing technology isn’t really worth much to me,” Yu Ang said.

Yang Wenxiao wanted printing technology to print silver notes, but what did he need printing technology for?

He wasn’t planning to publish books, nor did he know how to make paper.

It was completely useless to him.

Moreover, Qiao Xiaomai had even come up with movable type printing, which was an even more convenient technology. With this, he valued Shen Chenghao’s possession even less.

Yu Ang said, “Of course I can’t accept it, we are carrying over a billion in silver. I’m telling you now so you can be mentally prepared.”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “Don’t worry, as long as it’s a fair competition, I will definitely win.”

“Shopkeeper Liu, are you saying that the delicacies discovered by Shen Chenghao are enough to compete with the Zuixian Building?” Tong Sanlang, who was sitting aside, couldn’t help asking.

Yu Ang sighed, “For now, the Zuixian Building is mainly relying on Xiaomai’s fresh ideas to stay afloat. In terms of cooking skills, we can’t outdo the Zuixian Building.”

A single winter had nearly bankrupted the Zuixian Building, all thanks to one new novelty after another.

If there were no new novelties, then speaking solely of the chefs’ skills, the Zuixian Building had no clear advantage.

“To firmly suppress the Zuixian Building, we would either have to keep introducing new novelties, or have Xiaomai stay to be the head chef.”

Qiao Xiaomai, “… I’d still prefer to manage those thousand acres of our family’s farmland.”

She had no desire to be stuck in the kitchen every day, swinging iron pots and wielding ladles.

“That’s natural, once those crops are harvested, they will also bring in quite a bit of silver.” Yu Ang nodded, “Anyway, just be mentally prepared, and think about what dishes to prepare when the time comes.”

“Alright,” Qiao Xiaomai agreed.

Another culinary contest was coming up, and although she could count on the help of the Spiritual Spring water, she should also come up with some fresh dishes.

The novelty factor.

This thing was just so damn important.

“By the way, Shopkeeper Liu, how is ‘Skyfall Love Chronicles’ doing?” Qiao Xiaomai remembered and asked.

“It’s doing well. We started the performance yesterday and the response has been very good.”

Speaking of it, a hint of a smile appeared on Yu Ang’s stern face, “We started telling the story at noon, planning to tell a part each meal and leave the audience in suspense for the next part, but yesterday we ran into some nobility who offered a large sum of silver to continue the story, so it went on from noon until the evening. By the time we closed, the storyteller was so hoarse he couldn’t speak anymore.”

‘Skyfall Love Chronicles’ may have mainly focused on the romance between Yang Wenxiao and Liuli, but it also included sibling loyalty, familial affection, and the way of chivalry and brotherhood, which could captivate both men and women alike.

“The return was quite good, not just those nobles were listening; many customers from the first, second, and third floors stayed after their meals and listened until we closed.”

In the past, the Zuixian Building was only bustling during meal times, but as more and more novelties were introduced, people began coming in at other times as well. However, since we started storytelling yesterday, it was bustling from noon until closing, and we made a good sum just from selling seeds, snacks, and tea.

Especially during meal times, some people would order just a bowl of noodles, stand while eating, and couldn’t bear to leave.

“Storytelling really attracts a crowd, you can stay and watch the excitement later if you like.”

“I can’t, I have to return to the Palace to cook for the Emperor Emeritus,” Qiao Xiaomai said, her face showing a hint of regret at hearing this.

“By the way, who were the nobles listening yesterday?” she asked with some curiosity.

“A few ladies from official families, young maidens from the boudoirs, they like these kinds of stories, they even insisted on asking the Zuixian Building for the manuscripts. Shopkeeper Hong stood firm and didn’t give it to them,” Yu Ang said.
