The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Will Chapter 1206 result in a loss?

After its introduction, the Five White Soup immediately became popular in hot pot restaurants.

Shen Xuening currently owns three hot pot restaurants: the original Xifulai restaurant in the scenic area, a branch of Xifulai in W city, a branch of Xifulai in A city, and a fourth one in G city, which is currently under renovation...

The Five White Soup was first introduced at the hot pot restaurant in the scenic area. It costs three yuan a cup and is made with high-quality ingredients. It is fragrant and smooth, and every sip is full of the taste of grains.

Five-White Soup is a traditional dietary therapy recipe, mainly made from white fungus, lotus seeds, lily bulbs, yam, and poria cocos (or almonds and other white ingredients).

Its core effects include nourishing the lungs and yin, beautifying the skin, and strengthening the spleen and stomach. It can also help improve problems such as dry skin, indigestion, and poor sleep.

The five-white soup served at the hot pot restaurant is made with high-quality ingredients, so it naturally has the corresponding effects, and you can see the effects after just one meal.

Grandpa Wei called Grandpa Lin: "I heard the hot pot restaurant has launched a 'Five White Soup,' do you want to try it?"

Grandpa Lin readily agreed, "Sure, it's been a long time since I've had hot pot, I've been really craving it."

Grandpa Wei laughed happily: "That's great! I made a reservation for a private room. I was worried you wouldn't come, but thankfully you agreed. Let's go over now."

Grandpa Lin said, "Okay, I'll call my wife, and we'll meet at the hot pot restaurant entrance later."

Grandpa Wei replied with a "Okay" and then hung up the phone.

Grandpa Lin called to his wife, "Let's go have hot pot. Brother Wei is treating us today. Didn't you want to try the Five White Soup? Let's go and have some."

Madam Lin smiled and replied, "Alright, let's go."

The two came out of the house and walked halfway when they unexpectedly ran into Zhuo Jinghao's grandfather, Old Master Zhuo, and both of them were very surprised.

Old Master Lin's eyes were filled with surprise: "Brother Zhuo, you've come too?"

Grandpa Zhuo looked at the other person, his eyes filled with laughter: "I just came over, tidied up the house, and was just about to go buy daily necessities. Where are you going?"

Grandpa Lin said excitedly, "We're going to have hot pot. Don't buy any daily necessities yet. Come eat with us, and we'll go shopping with you after we finish eating."

Grandpa Zhuo asked, "Who are you having hot pot with?"

Grandpa Lin readily agreed, “Brother Wei, they’ll be happy to see you two. Come on, let’s not delay, let’s go over first.”

Grandpa Zhuo waved his hand, telling Grandpa Lin to wait a moment: "I'll call your sister-in-law over, otherwise she'll definitely scold me if she finds out I'm eating hot pot alone with you."

Grandpa Lin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I almost forgot about my sister-in-law."

Upon hearing what Mr. Zhuo said, Madam Zhuo immediately agreed to come over. She had originally planned to visit them anyway, and now it was the perfect opportunity.

The six met at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, exchanged pleasantries, and then went into a private room together.

The waiter guided the six people to scan a QR code to order food.

Without hesitation, Grandpa Wei ordered the Five White Soup, one cup for each person: "Bring us the Five White Soup first, we came here specifically to drink this."

The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, but you'll have to wait a little longer. Many people come here specifically for the Five White Soup, and the machine hasn't stopped running all day."

Grandpa Wei waved his hand: "Then hurry up."

The waiter was very friendly and said, "Okay, I'll go serve you your food right away. You can eat while you wait."

The hot pot restaurant serves food very quickly; the dishes and broth are served in less than ten minutes. They are placed on the table, the fire is turned on, and the pot is started to cook over high heat.

As the waiter helped set the table, he said softly, "These three items are complimentary snacks for every table. The rest are what you order. Please try to finish your food. If you really can't finish, we can pack it up for you. Now, please enjoy your delicious meal."

Grandpa Wei emphasized, "Hurry up and serve us the Five White Soup, I've been looking forward to it."

"Okay." The waiter left the private room.

Grandpa Zhuo asked curiously, "Is that Five-White Soup really that delicious? You've eaten all sorts of delicacies, why do you have to urge me so many times just for a bowl of soup?"

Grandpa Wei glanced at Grandpa Zhuo and said mysteriously, "You'll find out in a moment."

Grandpa Zhuo became even more curious. He hadn't eaten here yet and hadn't experienced the charm of the local cuisine, but he would soon find out.

The broth was boiling; they had ordered a mushroom broth. Once it boiled, the aroma filled the air, making it incredibly tempting.

This was Grandpa Zhuo's first time eating hot pot here. After smelling the aroma, he couldn't help but drool: "Why does this broth smell so good? Is it some kind of high-tech, high-efficiency cooking method?"

Grandpa Wei immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. These are all high-quality ingredients. The beef is from our own farm, the mushrooms are from our own mountain, and the spices are all grown by us. It's only natural that they smell good."

Old Master Zhuo was skeptical: "Brother Wei, are you so sure?"

Grandpa Wei pointed towards the kitchen: "Of course, you can watch the ingredients being cooked in the kitchen. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Grandpa Zhuo was surprised. Even as a big shot in the business world, he hadn't seen many shops that dared to show their kitchens like this: "You can look?"

Grandpa Wei said, "Sure, every afternoon he stirs up the ingredients in the big room in the back kitchen. Everyone can watch, and they can even take a bowl and buy some. Many people go to get it to go, and business is booming."

Grandpa Zhuo believed him: "Living there for a long time has its advantages; you'll know a little about everything."

Grandpa Wei replied cheerfully, "Of course! Now that you're here, I'll be your guide and show you around."

Grandpa Zhuo laughed and said, "Alright, then I'll follow you from now on."

The old lady interrupted, "Stop chatting, you can start eating the hot pot now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the waiter came in: "Your five-white soup is ready, please enjoy."

Madam Zhuo picked up the cup and smelled it. It was full of the aroma of grains. This was the first time she had ever smelled such a pure and refreshing fragrance: "Is this Five-White Soup?"

Madam Wei chimed in, "Yes, I've heard it's very delicious. You should try it."

Madam Lin had already taken a sip and was immediately amazed: "I said that none of those imported drinks are as delicious as this cup of Five White Soup. I wonder if it can be delivered? If it is, I plan to buy a cup to drink every day."

Madam Wei immediately asked the waiter, "Can this Five-White Soup be delivered?"

The waiter said, "If we have it, we can; if not, there's nothing we can do. Also, takeout orders need to be packed up, and it's three yuan and fifty cents a cup."

Mrs. Wei was relieved. She couldn't come to eat hot pot every day, but she could hire a delivery person to buy it for her: "Okay, I understand."

The waiter arranged the dishes and then left.

……

Shen Xuening asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

Shen Baohong knew Shen Xuening would be surprised: "The hot pot restaurant has created a 'Five White Soup Yellow Cow' (a type of soup). It's only 50 cents to buy a cup of Five White Soup. Many people are making reservations."

Shen Xuening couldn't help but laugh: "Is Five-White Soup that popular?"

Shen Baohong said, "That's right, a lot of people like it. I heard that everyone who comes to eat hot pot orders a cup, and the supply can't keep up with the demand."

Shen Xuening immediately came up with a solution: "If that's the case, then we'll set aside a separate area to make Five-White Soup and assign someone to be in charge of it."

Shen Baohong nodded: "Yes, do it like you would sell milk tea."

This reminded Shen Xuening that she could combine all the drinks from the hot pot restaurant into one batch. These drinks would be similar to those in a milk tea shop, available to customers in the shop and also sold to the public, thus preventing scalpers from taking advantage of the situation.

After hearing Shen Xuening's plan, Shen Baohong was delighted, knowing that he wouldn't have to go out of his way to eat hot pot if he wanted to drink Five White Soup anymore.

Shen Xuening suddenly said, "Cousin, I heard from Yifei that she also wants to drink Five White Soup. Please remember to make some for her."

"Oh right." Shen Baohong suddenly perked up. "How could I forget about Yifei?"

"You're such a terrible boyfriend," Shen Xuening complained. "Aren't you afraid Yifei will break up with you? I heard that Yifei's crush has come looking for her."

"What? A secret admirer!" Shen Baohong was both surprised and jealous.

“Yes, don’t you know that many people like Yifei? It’s just that those rich young men are too good at having fun, so Yifei doesn’t like them.” Shen Xuening said seriously, “It’s not that I look down on you, but your family background is not as good as any of the people who used to surround Yifei. You should pay more attention to it.”

"I understand." Shen Baohong dashed out like a rocket.

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "It's good that you've figured it out."

The Five White Soup became a hit, and Shen Xuening quickly promoted it in two other stores as well, with very positive results.

……

Time flies like an arrow, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is here.

The entire scenic area was beautifully decorated, both at the foot and on the mountain, creating a festive atmosphere. There was a three-day holiday for everyone to celebrate.

Every holiday, there are so many tourists coming here that the accommodations are booked well in advance. Even the high-end accommodations are full. It's really overcrowded.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the most eye-catching flowers are the various chrysanthemums of Baihua Mountain, the hibiscus flowers of the Flower Goddess Temple, and the black chrysanthemums of Yufeng Temple.

Many people come to see the chrysanthemums, not only to admire them but also to buy them. The exquisitely cultivated chrysanthemums are bought pot by pot, as if they are bringing autumn home.

A tourist asked a passing novice monk, "Master, are these ink chrysanthemums for sale?"

The novice monk bowed and replied, "These are for viewing only, not for sale. If you like them, you can buy them at Baihua Mountain at the foot of the mountain. The black chrysanthemums here were all transplanted from there."

The tourist politely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, I understand."

The novice monk nodded: "Please take your time to admire the flowers. Besides the black chrysanthemum, there are many other beautiful flowers as well."

The tourist smiled and replied, "Okay."

It wasn't just him who wanted to buy it; many people wanted to buy it too. The black chrysanthemum was simply too beautiful, unforgettable at first sight.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such beautiful black chrysanthemums. They're so big and vibrant, and the petals seem to glow in the sunlight. They're so special!"

"I wonder how these black chrysanthemums were cultivated. The person who cultivated them must be a master."

"I really want to buy one and put it at home; it would make me feel better."

"..."

Chrysanthemums were planted in several courtyards, and tourists gathered around the edges of the courtyards, admiring them while also feeling a sense of possessiveness.

Yin Yuhuang suggested to Yin Yuwen, "Sister, didn't you want to give Grandma a birthday present? I think this is a good idea, what do you think?"

Yin Yuwen pointed to the black chrysanthemums and asked, "Are you giving black chrysanthemums as a gift?"

Yin Yuhuang nodded: "Yes, these black chrysanthemums are blooming so beautifully, and I've also heard that Grandma likes them."

Yin Yuwen thought for a moment and said, "That works too."

Yin Yuhuang became excited: "Then let's go down the mountain to buy it."

The two siblings went down the mountain together. Yin Yushan did not go up the mountain with them. She went to pick wild fruits in the mountains with Shen Wenxu and the others. With the arrival of autumn, the wild fruits in the mountains were plentiful.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Yin Yuwen saw her mother carrying a pot of incredibly beautiful black chrysanthemums. She quickly called out to her, "Mom, did you buy these black chrysanthemums?"

Aunt smiled and said, "Yes, it's your grandma's birthday, isn't it? I bought it for her specially."

Yin Yuwen slumped her shoulders: "Huh? You bought the black chrysanthemum, what am I supposed to buy?"

My aunt asked with a laugh, "You want to buy this as a birthday present too?"

Yin Yuwen nodded weakly: "Yes."

Auntie chuckled: "Then I suggest you go find Master Chi and Granny Zhang to embroider a piece about ink chrysanthemums for your grandma."

Yin Yuwen immediately perked up: "Mom, you're my savior! I'll go right now!" and ran off.

"I'm going too." Yin Yuhuang chased after Yin Yuwen and left.

Auntie smiled and shook her head. Luckily, she acted quickly, otherwise the two children would have gotten there first. These days, it's so hard to give a satisfactory birthday gift.

……

At night, the lights are bright, dazzling, and magnificent.

Shen Xuening brought Shen Yingying to stroll around Yongle: "Yingying, do you like this street? Do you have any suggestions?"

Shen Yingying held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand: "Sister, you've already developed Yongle to its fullest potential. It's already excellent and doesn't need any further improvement. I have no objections."

Shen Xuening said, "As the saying goes, one should strive for perfection. You are a student, and your ideas are more novel than mine. What if you have any good ideas?"

Shen Yingying immediately said, "Sister, if I have any good ideas, I will definitely tell you."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Okay."

Shen Yingying pointed to the steamed rice cake on the side and said, "Sister, this is a newly opened stall. Originally, Sister Shan said there were no empty seats, but she managed to get the two stalls next to her to move to the left and right, so a small stall was available, and she set it up."

The other stall was only a meter in size, quite tiny, but business was really good. The steamed rice cake was freshly steamed and smelled delicious.

Shen Xuening walked towards the stall: "Come on, let me treat you to some steamed rice cake."

Shen Yingying said sweetly, "Thank you, sister."

The two sisters each bought a serving of zenggao (steamed rice cake). One serving cost three yuan, so two servings cost five yuan. It was really affordable and delicious.

Shen Yingying whispered to Shen Xuening, "Sister, aren't we losing money selling these snacks so cheaply?"
