although she didn’t worry about food or clothes, she feared being seen by villagers making a living in the brothel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If word got out, she would be ridiculed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more they talked, the angrier they became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Mu Danian said, \"Woman, why don’t you just come back with me to Er Gui Village, we still have my brother’s secret in our hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returns, we can use this secret to negotiate terms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dade’s scholar title was obtained through purchased exam papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from those in the main house, only Mu Danian and Chen Hong knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them were fools;

Fulin Restaurant was too ordinary before, with not a single standout dish, which is why it gradually faded from people’s memory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four dishes Mu Shuangshuang mentioned couldn’t be found in other restaurants in Qingshan Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingshan Roasted Duck is essentially Beijing Roasted Duck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took Mu Shuangshuang an entire day and five ducks to barely teach Sun Dawu how to carve the ducks properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the remaining dishes, the roasted fish, roasted chicken, and braised pork, each had their own unique method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang had really put a lot of effort into training Sun Dawu into a top chef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dahai had some doubts before, but after hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s explanation, his doubts were dispelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the dishes at Fulin Restaurant could be found anywhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes were cheaper than other places, but if people didn’t want to eat, they simply wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, First-class Residence’s dishes were the most expensive in the whole of Qingshan Town, but people still flocked there, eager to get even a single bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand! Boss, why not do this, since these dishes are special, let’s limit their supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one to three tables per day, depending on our chefs’ mood. If the chef is in a good mood, make three; if not, make one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, everyone knows Chengfeng Restaurant has something good, but it’s hard to get, what do you think?\" Yu Dahai suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dahai meant to do a premium exclusive offer, a scarcity marketing tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did seem like a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chengfeng Restaurant was small in scale, so attracting those landlords required some effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang smiled, \"This is good! Oh, I’ve almost finished drawing up the menu, should be done before the opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, find someone to make promotional flyers, just on a sheet of paper, announcing our restaurant’s opening, telling the townspeople about a fifty percent discount on opening day, meaning if the meal costs two silver, we’ll only charge five hundred wen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient times, there were no loudspeakers, no signal, limited mobility, and everything relied on word of mouth, which had its pros and cons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good was, if done well, you’ll have repeat customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad was the slow spread, and by the time word gets out about the delicious food at Chengfeng Restaurant, it might be a long time later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So a restaurant, when opening, needed to do some promotion, or else it would be like a drop in the ocean, with no trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng, standing by, carefully pondered Mu Shuangshuang’s words, suddenly suggested: \"Shuangshuang, why not... why not on opening day, invite some dragon and lion dancers over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also hire a storyteller to tell stories at our restaurant, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big restaurants’ promotional tactics were just like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People loved excitement and watching dragon and lion dances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fengzi, that’s great! Dragon and lion dancing is easy to arrange, but... about storytelling, I do have a few story scripts, I’m sure people haven’t heard of them.\" Mu Shuangshuang winked mysteriously at Lu Yuanfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang always thought the ancient storytelling profession was fascinating, capable of attracting a group of people to listen to a story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a modern person, well-versed in various martial arts novels and classics was a matter of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attracting a few customers shouldn’t be a problem at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1227,"2026-06-10T06:01:59.668Z",1,"novelbin.me","fb3faeebdba59fc887e2c51dbc8c7c7d8631b6f7e8777d77a1aca51ec2fb6752","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-965","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-963",1282,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-cover.jpg"]
