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

Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171 Partnership in Business_1 Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171 Partnership in Business_1 If it wasn’t for Yang Ye, Bai Zhi’s mind was actually quite clear.

As the only non-imperial prince of Daqi, Bai Zhi’s grandfather had shallow foundations, but he was rich.

He spent a high price to hire teachers in all fields for his descendants. The girls were taught the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, while the boys were taught poetry, songs, writing, and martial arts. As the most beloved great-granddaughter of the old prince, Bai Zhi learned all of this.

She strove to match Prince Yang Ye in both hardware and software aspects.

With so many skills at her disposal, she finally decided on culinary arts when she wanted to earn money.

It was fast and lucrative, and she was most proficient in it.

She had practiced her cooking skills hard for Yang Ye, and her ability was not inferior to the chefs of the prestigious Zuixian Building.

But as a noble lady, she was too dignified to cook for those beneath her status.

So she went to Tong Sanlang and the Zhang Family, looking to join forces with this couple in business.

She knew that Xiaomai had once taught Zhang Family how to cook. Zhang provided the recipes, she provided the money and the chef, and quickly the restaurant was opened.

In the Capital City, there were two major restaurants, Zuixian Building and Jiwei Residence, besides countless other eateries large and small. The catering industry was extremely competitive.

Bai Zhi was not foolish; she knew she could not compete with Zuixian Building and Jiwei Residence, so her restaurant focused on private home cooking, not open to the general public but only to officials and ladies from aristocratic families.

To advertise, she even hosted a flower-viewing banquet at the Wang Residence, inviting the noble ladies of the Capital City to come and play.

Not stopping there, she also went to the Palace, hoping to get Yao Xian to help with her promotion.

This time, determined not to rely on her elders, she wrote her own name when inviting people. However, she was not yet married, so according to accepted customs, she could only invite the unmarried noble ladies.

These noble ladies did not have as much silver as the heads of the households; the real wealth was with the matriarchs of each family. If Yao Xian spoke up, then the matriarchs would certainly go to support the event out of respect for her.

Yao Xian had received quite a shock from the Shen Chenghao incident. First, she witnessed a horrific scene, and then she worried that Shen Chenghao would expose her, so she spent her days in a state of constant fear.

Now that Bai Zhi had come to invite her, Yao Xian hesitated for a moment before nodding and accepting Bai Zhi’s invitation.

Instead of languishing in boredom at Yuexian Palace, it was better to get out of the Palace, breathe in some fresh air, and relax.

After informing Emperor Yong’an, she took a carriage out of the Palace.

Bai Zhi’s private restaurant was located in the wealthy district of Capital City, a large estate with five courtyards, complete with bridges over flowing water, rock gardens, and ponds – lush and elegantly arranged.

The courtyard was well set up as were the rooms, each with an elegant name, accommodating guests with tables or couches, their choice according to preference.

The menu featured various exquisite dishes, including Japanese and Korean cuisine. She had gone to learn from Zuixian Building, even asking Yang Wenxiao, who, upon hearing about her ambitious money-making plan, readily agreed and allowed her private restaurant to serve Japanese and Korean cuisine as well.

In short, Bai Zhi put a lot of effort into this private restaurant, and her efforts were not in vain. The restaurant had a certain style and was very popular among the nobility, who loved to gather and sit there.

Within a week of opening, business was booming and Bai Zhi earned quite a bit of silver.

Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family provided the recipes and held a ten percent stake. Bai Zhi was not stingy. Seeing how quickly the money was coming in, she immediately gave the couple their deserved share.
