Chapter 102 Copy
Lin Yanyan went to the palace to treat the empress dowager only. Li Mom and Jin Xin knew that Lin Jingyuan really thought that his sister was going to Yangzhou to see her grandmother. Every time she went to pay her respects to her grandmother, Lin Jingyuan naturally expressed his concern for her grandmother, so that everyone in Ding'an Marquis's Mansion would have him.
Lin Yanyan was not here, and the business of Tongyuan Building was still booming, because the medicinal food in Tongyuan Building was really unique, delicious and nutritious, and it established a good reputation in just a few days. There are only one restaurant in the capital that specializes in receiving female guests. Therefore, not only the ladies flocked to them, but even the ladies couldn't sit still and came to find out.
For a time, a trend of medicinal food was set off in the capital.
The popularity of Tongyuan Building has made the shopkeepers in Beijing who do restaurant business very jealous and want to learn Tongyuan Building to make medicinal food, but no matter how they do it, they can't taste the Tongyuan Building. After several attempts, they ended in failure.
So some people came up with the idea of the medicinal formula of the Tongyuanlou, but the medicinal formula of the Tongyuanlou is controlled by Hui Niang. It is impossible for you to buy the formula from Hui Niang at a high price.
After much trouble, the shopkeepers had to stop and could only watch the Sun of the Same Origin Tower make a fortune.
However, just when everyone thought that the situation where the Tongyuan Building was dominant would continue for a long time, a restaurant called Yangrongtang seemed to emerge overnight and then opened with great fanfare.
Moreover, the popularity of the opening day was no less than that of the same origin building.
The next day, several of Lin Yanyan's good friends gathered at Duke Rong's Mansion.
"I didn't expect Yu Wanwan to learn so quickly, so I was convinced." Chen Qianyao said angrily.
"The lady who went to Yangrongtang yesterday came to tell me that Yangrongtang all copied the same-original building from the layout, decoration to the menu. The difference is that the color of the same-original building is mainly light blue, while Yangrongtang is mainly pink." Wen Suyan is also very popular about this. Won't you feel ashamed to copy other people's things?
Chu Zhilan sneered: "Those ladies who have been there are doing their best to brag about the medicinal food in Yangrongtang far exceeding the Tongyuan Building, so I don't believe it. Yu Wanwan has such great ability? Can she find someone who knows medicinal food more than Sister Yan Yan and makes medicinal food more than Hui Niang?"
"Have you noticed that none of us who have gone to congratulate the Tongyuan Building have received an invitation? And those who went to Yangrong Hall have never invited Lin Yanyan and have invited a lady who has never been here?" Yang Shengjun asked.
Chen Qianyao nodded: "That's the matter."
"Don't forget those who have invited but have never come, why didn't you come?"
Wen Suyan was surprised: "You mean... someone behind Yu Wanwan. Is this person Princess Qingrou?"
Yang Jujun sneered: "Since the peach blossom banquet, Lin Yanyan rejected Princess Qingrou's proposal to dance, Princess Qingrou regarded Lin Yanyan as a thorn in her eyes. How could she watch Lin Yanyan be alone? This is clearly a show of singing a stage play with Lin Yanyan."
"Then let her sing, how is the quality of the Tongyuan Building withstand everyone's test? Yangrong Tang's weight still needs to be tested by time. It is useless to brag and it won't be done for a long time." Chen Qianyao said.
"That's right, I heard that Yangrong Hall is exempted from all three days before its opening, and those people are willing to praise it, so they just look lively. Can you beat the Tongyuan Building and see it later?" Wen Suyan said.
"Several sisters, things may not be as simple as I thought." Zheng Zixuan walked in.
"Zixuan, your illness is cured?" Yang Fengjun happily took her to sit down when she saw Zheng Zixuan coming.
"Zixuan, what did you mean just now?" Chen Qianyao asked.
Zheng Zixuan looked solemn: "I received an invitation from Yangrongtang and didn't want to go, but there was an extra medicinal food in the capital to compete with Sister Yan Yan's homogeneous building, so I went to see what happened. I just came out of Yangrongtang and immediately came to find out. I tasted Yangrongtang's medicinal food, which was exactly the same as Sister Yan Yan's."
"Take it seriously?" Everyone was surprised.
Zheng Zixuan and Zheng emphasized: "I have tasted the medicinal food made by Sister Yan Yan, and I am deeply impressed. If I hadn't known that I was in Yangrong Hall, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong place."
"This...what is going on? Has the recipe for the Tongyuan Building been leaked?" Wen Suyan said, this was the only possibility she could think of.
Everyone was in a heavy mood. I thought it was not enough to make a case for a fake product, but if they got the recipe for the same origin building and the background of Princess Qingrou and Yu Wanwan, it would be a great threat to the same origin building.
"June, what should I do?" Chen Qianyao looked at Yang Jujun.
Yang Jujun pondered and said, "When Lin Yanyan comes back, I believe Yan Yan will have a solution. However, I still have to inform the Tongyuan Building to let them pay attention to whether the formula is leaked."
Zheng Zixuan said: "In my opinion, we should not do anything and let Sister Yan handle it by herself. After all, we don't know whether the formula was leaked or whether Yangrongtang found an expert to make the same-original building. If the formula was leaked, it would be an insider. We will inform us, which will make the insider prepare."
"Zi Xuan said that we are not familiar with the personnel and affairs of Tongyuan Building. Only Sister Yan himself knows the most." Chu Zhilan agreed.
Yang Jujun nodded: "Then let's wait for Yan Yan to come back. Lin Yanyan said that she would come back before the Queen Mother's birthday party."
In three days, the Empress Dowager's 70th birthday was the palace, and the palace was going to do it in a big way. Not only did it invite a group of maids to the palace for the banquet, but it also invited many noble ladies from famous families. Several people present, including Lin Yanyan, received the invitation.
Yang Jujun did not inform the possible leak of the recipe for the same-yuan building, but Mr. Liu has already begun to doubt it.
Three days before the opening of Yangrong Hall, it only received invitation guests and was not open to the public. However, a restaurant that made medicinal food suddenly appeared in the capital. Mr. Liu naturally would not take it lightly and immediately found out about the other party's situation.
It would be fine if other things are copied from the same origin building, but Yangrongtang can make medicinal food that is comparable to the same origin building and has almost the same taste, which makes people wonder if there is something wrong with it.
So, Mr. Liu quietly called Hui Niang to the Yashi and told her: "Our recipe may have been leaked."
Hui Niang was shocked: "Impossible. I collected the formula well. The drawers were locked. I wore the keys with me..."
Mr. Liu said: "The key can be prepared. What if someone gets the key when you are not careful? Think carefully about whether there are any abnormalities recently, or who is always close to you."
Of course, he believed that Hui Niang would not betray the young lady, but there were other people in the store who worked together every day and could not be guarded against.
Hui Niang was so anxious that she was almost crying. If the formula was really leaked, she would be blamed. The Shen family had a kindness and the eldest lady trusted her so much, but she messed up the matter.
"Calm down and think about it carefully. Only by finding out the problem as soon as possible can we turn the situation around and reduce losses." Mr. Liu comforted.
