After everyone tasted Jiujiu's cooking, they wanted to see who else would say that Jiujiu won the competition because of them.
Three days later, Jiujiu opened the door and announced the reopening of Drunken Spring Brothel.
Everyone curiously craned their necks to look inside the brothel.
However, they all looked at each other, and no one dared to enter.
After all, the rumors back then were so serious that they were worried about Jiujiu's cooking.
Just as everyone was considering whether or not to enter, Jiujiu asked someone to bring out a big pot and began to stew meat in front of everyone.
Lin Xiao had originally tried to attract customers by stewing mutton, so Jiujiu also stewed mutton.
Lin Xiao's mutton was very fragrant, and Jiujiu's mutton was even better. Just smelling it made people salivate, not to mention how it tasted in their mouths.
After smelling the aroma of the mutton, the diners who had been standing to the side and watching couldn't help but ask, "How much is this mutton?"
As Jiujiu stirred the mutton, she glanced at the person who asked and said, "The mutton is for free. It's not for sale."
Hearing Jiujiu say that it was for free, the onlooking diners rubbed their hands excitedly. "Then can I have a piece now?"
The smell was too fragrant, and it made the gluttonous bug in his stomach come out. If he couldn't taste it, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Jiujiu stirred the mutton and said calmly, "It's not done yet. Wait a little longer."
It was already so fragrant before it was done. How delicious would it be when it was done?
The diners only felt the gluttonous bug in their stomachs, and they desperately clamored for Jiujiu's mutton stew.
Because Jiujiu was stewing mutton in front of Drunken Spring Brothel, the aroma wafted through the street, attracting the diners who came and went. Even Chunfeng Brothel, which was usually crowded, was empty.
Yesterday, Lin Guangye was still excited that Jiujiu wouldn't be able to make a comeback. When he saw Jiujiu's figure stewing mutton, he wanted to throw Jiujiu directly into the pot and stew them together.
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she asked the diners to wait and then let them line up one by one.
There were so many onlookers that even a pot of mutton wasn't enough for everyone.
After the people who arrived first tasted the mutton, they instantly felt that all the mutton they had eaten before had been wasted. As for those who didn't get to eat the mutton, they were even more curious when they saw the enjoyment on the faces of those who had already eaten the mutton.
What kind of taste did this mutton have?
After Jiujiu's pot of mutton was delivered, the people who had eaten Jiujiu's mutton all said that Jiujiu's mutton stew was much better than Lin Xiao's.
Since Jiujiu could make better mutton stew than Lin Xiao's, it was natural that she could make better dishes than Lin Xiao's.
Therefore, the previous rumors naturally collapsed. It was obvious that someone had maliciously attacked her.
And the person who had the most advantage over Jiujiu was self-evident.
Obviously, the person who had spread such rumors was most likely Lin Guangye.
Jiujiu didn't explain a while ago, not because she felt guilty, but because she was busy reopening Drunken Spring Brothel. On the first day Jiujiu opened Drunken Spring Brothel, she only used a pot of mutton stew to wash away all the bad rumors. It even confirmed that her cooking skills were much better than Lin Xiao's.
From this, it could be seen that a thousand words couldn't compare to the words' strength is king '.
At first, Wang Cuilian had some complaints about Jiujiu giving that group of people free mutton stew. But when she saw that Jiujiu only sent a pot of mutton, the previous rumors disappeared in an instant, Wang Cuilian felt that Jiujiu had grown up.
Not only had her cooking skills improved, but her temperament had also grown.
Jiujiu had changed from the little girl who only knew how to hide behind her and Li Fugui to a good girl who could take charge of a place on her own.
Wang Cuilian, who was originally worried that Jiujiu might not be able to support Drunken Spring Brothel, felt that she didn't need to manage Drunken Spring Brothel anymore.
Jiujiu had been stewing mutton in front of Drunken Spring Brothel for three days, and every day, the supply couldn't meet the demand. Meanwhile, Chunfeng Brothel across the street had become deserted because of Jiujiu's mutton stew.
The diners originally went to whichever restaurant had better food. Now, Jiujiu's restaurant had better food and was more upright than Lin Guangye's.
Since there was already a better restaurant, the diners naturally didn't want to go to Lin Guangye's Chunfeng Brothel.
Three days later, Jiujiu no longer stewed mutton. Instead, she posted a notice on the door.
Jiujiu didn't want to open a restaurant to cook like Lin Guangye. It was too tiring.
She wanted to take the quality route and do hunger marketing.
She would only take five tables a day, and she wouldn't take any more than that. She could also accept queuing up a month in advance.
Jiujiu's mutton stew for the past few days had made the diners' hearts drop. Now that she was doing hunger marketing, the diners naturally quickly came to make reservations.
In less than half a day, Jiujiu's half-month quota was fully booked.
This made many people who just realized that they needed to queue up to eat feel regret. As they walked out, they muttered that they must get up early tomorrow to queue up.
Jiujiu's price for a table was ten taels of silver. The deposit was three taels of silver. Moreover, the price would increase according to the ingredients of the dishes.
No matter how much a table of people could eat, they couldn't eat ten taels of silver. This was a business with no loss.
When he thought about how Jiujiu had earned so much money from a table of banquets, and how the business was scheduled for a month later, Lin Guangye was so jealous that he wanted to die.
Lin Guangye cursed Jiujiu's treacherous shamelessness in his heart. At the same time, he regretted that he didn't think of such a good idea.
Fortunately, because Jiujiu's plan was hunger marketing, she only had five tables a day. The rest of the people who couldn't make a reservation didn't have a place to eat, so they chose Chunfeng Brothel.
Chunfeng Brothel's business didn't have much impact.
However, Chunfeng Brothel's status in the eyes of the diners was far lower than Drunken Spring Brothel.
It could be said that in the hearts of the people in the capital, if they could eat at Drunken Spring Brothel, they would never choose Chunfeng Brothel.
Chunfeng Brothel, in their hearts, was the second best option.
The people in the capital were extremely delicious. Even the common people were like this, not to mention the high officials and nobles.
They liked to eat more than the average person, and they were more particular about their food.
Generally, those nobles had their own personal chefs, so they didn't often eat outside.
The competition between Jiujiu and Lin Xiao didn't enter their ears at all.
However, there were always some similarities between foodies. For example, they would often gather together to discuss the delicacies they had recently eaten.
