After showing her around her Water Pavilion for more than two hours, Gu Yanyan finally bed farewell to her good younger sisters with a lot of medicinal tea, scented incense and dried sweet potatoe chips and sweet yellow corns.
She even let them taste crispy and crunchy hot salty and spicy popcorns.
It was totally a new way of eating corns were for them but they liked it so they even begged for recipes to make such crispy and crunchy snacks in their kitchens.
Gu Yanyan didn't shy away from this and immediately said that they could send their cooks to her courtyard and her cook can teach them and not only this crispy and crunchy popcorns but a lot more dishes they can learn from her that those young ladies could only taste at the famous Three Galaxy snacks shop in the capital.
Three Galaxy snacks shop was mostly opened in the capital of a province or in a famous and rich city where rich and noble people could afford to buy from the shop because the prices in the Three Galaxy shop was almost ten times higher than the normal snacks shops in the city but because it was expensive that the noble and rich people were more willing to spend their money at such places because they think only such expensive places are worthy of their noble status.
But her younger sisters didn't need to know about that and she only told them the shop's name and let them salivate at the imagination of many more delicious snacks that they haven't eaten.
She was sure once they would eat snacks made from her cook they were bound to visit Three Galaxy snacks shops because they would definitely think that if her cook can make such delicious snacks at home then the chefs in the shop would surely make more delicious than her cook and imagination makes world go round.
In the end it would only profit her.
First she would become the kind eldest sister who didn't hesitated to lend her personal cook to her younger sisters to prepare tasty and delicious snacks and also teach their personal cooks to prepare those snacks in future.
Second, she had advertised her Tree Galaxy snacks shop among her younger sisters and she was sure that these chirping birds would surely buy snacks from the Three Galaxy snacks shop and would definitely tell those young misses from other aristocratic families about their new favorite snacks shop.
Three Galaxy snacks shop opened on a whim.
When they were still kids she and Yang Xumei always craved those modern snacks in this historical world but in this world neither they could find potatoes nor any potato chips forget about finding Pizza places or KFC.
So when they were sent to manor at first, they thought; here come our time.
After getting rid of Nanny Jin, the first business they thought to start in this historical world was a snacks shop.
But at that time she was only three years old and Yang Xumei eight. Servants at the manor respected her but wouldn't take her words seriously it was not until Gu Yanyan and Yang Xumei mixed spices and made five spices and thirteen spices and made oyster sauce from oysters and their secret soy sauce from soybean that the chefs in the manor found them incredible and believed their words and helped them improve the dishes with their help.
Gu Yanyan was heir to the one of the leading corporation of modern China and becoming president of a multinational corporation not only require her to read a few book about business and signing contracts, she had to learn various skills to run her company and improve for better.
Gu's hotels and restaurants were spread all over the world and to run such a big business, she first had to learn to cook, taste and appreciate food because if she wouldn't know these, how would she expect her chefs to improve and to which length they needed to improve?
To make her master in this area, her grandfather had invited various chef masters over the years to teach her and train her to become a great chef, he, himself had given her many classes and taught her how to mix his secret spices and how to make his secret but delicious sauces.
When she would prepare soy sauce and oyster sauce, she would always remember her grandfather and his teaching. She really missed him.
After finalizing the dishes in the menu list, the most important question was, where they should open their first shop?
If they wanted to make their business big, they couldn't open their shop in the capital city. It's not because they thought, their shop would not make it big in the capital city, instead it was opposite.
They knew for a fact that their shop was going to thrive and it would make so big that it would attract unnecessary attention from it's competitive shop's in the surrounding which would not be good for their business; first, they didn't had any backing behind them. Second, they had to do it so secretly that it didn't reach their enemies eyes.
So afrr mulling over it for a while they finally decided on Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
It was far from the capital and the tea picked in the Hangzhou city was the best tea in the world. Serving their salty and spicy snacks with hot and fragrant tea was tge perfect combination Gu Yanyan could think at that moment.
And because Zhejiang province was maostly for farmers and businessmen, opening one or two new shops wouldn't attract that much attention.
At the age of Five, Gu Yanyan disguised herself as a little young master from an unknown lower rank official and entered the Zhejiang province along with Yang Xumei and a few older and stronger trusted maids and housekeepers and a dozen of male bodyguards who disguised themselves poor refugees.
She was travelling so far in this era for the first time, she had to make some preparations.
Even though everything valuable was stored in her space, one couldn't be too prepared and future was still unpredictable.
Wait..... she still hadn't told you about her space, right?
Wait for the next time....
