After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 114 Impossible

"Impossible!" Ye Yuwu blurted out, but then realized she was getting too emotional, so she quickly cleared her throat to calm herself down.

"Why?" Zhang Rouyan asked, somewhat puzzled by Manager Ye's sudden emotional outburst.

"Ahem, anyway, absolutely impossible! You'll find out later." Ye Yuwu left after uttering these ambiguous words, leaving Zhang Rouyan standing there, bewildered and trying to figure out the reason.

"Rouyan? Didn't you want some sweet soup? What are you still doing here? Hey, the shopkeeper suddenly ran off."

Liang Suxin suddenly came downstairs and happened to see Ye Yuwu's running figure. She asked the question in confusion, as she stood in a daze not far away.

Oh right, didn't she want some sweet soup?! No, that's not the point right now! The point is, what did Manager Ye mean by that?!

Zhang Rouyan suddenly understood, and as she passed Liang Suxin, she smiled mysteriously, "I get it."

After uttering those words, she strode away, leaving Liang Suxin bewildered and disoriented in the wind. "No! What do you mean? Why don't I understand? Why are you talking so incoherently?!"

But Zhang Rouyan, who had already left, could not answer her question.

Only now did Zhang Rouyan understand the meaning behind Ye Yuwu's words.

It turns out it was just a young couple arguing!

By the way, it was Shopkeeper Ye who taught us the term "little couple"! It seems quite fitting now.

As Hua Ping had predicted, after Ye Yuwu left the Three Offices, she caught a cold and started sneezing with a runny nose. However, it wasn't too serious, and drinking more hot water would help.

After Wen Ding became popular, people started paying attention to what was written in the novel "The Little Chef of Jin Dynasty" and wanted to recreate the food from the book.

So some people dug deeper and discovered that Wen Ding had always described a "Yuan Yang hot pot", but in reality they were only eating the bottom of the pot, which was bone broth.

There are several kinds of soup bases mentioned in the storybook, including pepper soup, mushroom soup, and tomato soup.

Among them, the pepper broth is often mentioned in folk tales and is a favorite dish, but in reality, no restaurant has a soup base with this flavor.

I heard that the last royal banquet featured a hot pot with two broths, and the chili peppers used were obtained from Chayunhe. The Princess's residence also had some. It is said that all the officials who tasted this spicy hot pot praised its deliciousness, saying that they would fall in love with the flavor after just one bite and become addicted.

This sparked public curiosity, with many wanting to try the flavor. At this time, Cha Yunhe launched a hot pot with two separate broths, but it was expensive and only three pots were available per day, with a limited number of tickets issued daily.

Wealthy people in Bianjing made reservations well in advance, with appointments booked until March of next year, which is quite rare.

I heard that they might launch a wolf peach hot pot in the future, which has everyone looking forward to it.

So far, no one has been able to replicate the sponge cake from the storybook. I've heard that many people are stuck on the cornstarch step. They haven't found a plant that can be made into cornstarch, nor have they found a substitute for it.

Many people say that what's written in the book is just random writing, and of course, no matter how you do it, it can't be the same as the illustration of the chicken cake in the storybook.

From then on, the pastry shops and restaurants that originally wanted to seize the opportunity all gave up on this effort.

Instead, they went on to research how to eat spicy hot pot.

They then discovered that the main ingredient of the spicy hot pot—chili peppers—was not a plant grown in the territory of the Jin Dynasty.

The reason why the Princess's residence has this pepper is because it was brought back from overseas by a merchant and presented to the Emperor. In other words, this item came from overseas.

After making inquiries from various sources, they obtained accurate information from overseas buyers that some people were paying them to bring back several pepper plants from overseas.

And it was through all these people's hard work that Haike suddenly received many "orders".

However, the pepper plants that everyone has been searching for are located in Ye Yuwu, which has 24 acres of pepper fields.

The twenty-odd acres of pepper fields planted by Ye Yuwu were brought back by a merchant ship returning from overseas when everyone was trying their best to find peppers.

They had searched for a long time to gather the number of bell pepper plants that Ye Yuwu wanted, and there were other plants that Ye Yuwu also wanted; they tried their best to find them for her.

Ye Yuwu needed it urgently, so they rushed back after less than three months at sea.

By the time Ye Yuwu planted the peppers sold by the merchant ships, Wen Ding peppers were already everywhere in Bianjing. The seafarers, who had just been adrift at sea for about half a year, were extremely surprised to see a new way of eating peppers appear in Bianjing.

They couldn't wait to go to Chayunhe to eat Wen Ding (a type of hot pot), because they heard that Chayunhe's Wen Ding was the most authentic.

Ye Yuwu specially invited the maritime caravan that had gone to sea to find seeds for her to go to Chayun and eat Wending.

"Wow, this is really great! No wonder Manager Ye was willing to spend so much money to have us find these peppers!"

Inside a private room at Chayunhe, several unkempt-looking people sat around a table, eating with great enthusiasm!

"Eating this in winter is so comforting!"

"If you like it, Mr. Zhang, I'll invite you and your brothers to our Tea Rhyme Restaurant after we come back from our last voyage!"

With a thick beard, Boss Zhang laughed heartily, "Manager Ye, then I won't stand on ceremony! Hahaha!"

"I heard that all the fleets are going to set sail soon? When is Mr. Zhang going to sail?"

"Let's wait a while. It's been a year since any of you brothers have been home. Besides, you made a fortune here with Manager Ye. So this year's New Year's Eve will be a bit easier."

"That's true. Everyone works hard at sea and deserves to go home and visit their families."

"Manager Ye, aren't you worried?"

Mr. Zhang suddenly drank a glass of wine and asked Ye Yuwu.

"Mr. Zhang, what should I be worried about?" Ye Yuwu asked sincerely.

"Naturally, everyone in the capital will be looking for those chili peppers. Once everyone has planted them, your limited-edition hot pot with tea flavors will lose its appeal!"

Moreover, I've heard that the imperial court is planning to start making honeycomb briquettes.

I've heard that honeycomb briquettes are at least half the price of regular coal. That means your tea's price advantage will disappear. How will you retain your customers then?

"Mr. Zhang, I don't need to worry about that. These trendy things will inevitably become saturated someday, so we have to come up with new things every now and then, otherwise they will be eliminated sooner or later."

"Elimination? This is the first time I've ever heard this word, hahaha, interesting, interesting, Manager Ye, you are really interesting!" Seeing her calm and composed appearance, Boss Zhang laughed again, obviously Ye Yuwu's confidence had influenced him.

"As expected, I, Zhang, was right about you. It's a pity you're a woman, otherwise I would definitely befriend you! I think Manager Ye is someone who can achieve great things."
