Isn't This Just an Ancient Version of a Food Delivery Platform?

Accompanying Prince Rui were more than a dozen officials, who, while eating, exclaimed, "I've never eaten anything so delicious before. I wonder if your village sends any ingredients?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said to them, "If you need anything, we will have someone deliver it to you, and it will be delivered at night, so you can eat the freshest ingredients by morning."

The officials laughed and said, "Is it really that amazing? We're quite far away; we're all on Prince Rui's fiefdom, which is half a day's journey from here."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "You can try! If you can't do it, I can compensate you."

Isn't this just an ancient version of a food delivery platform?

Zhou Wanwan said with a smile, "Just provide your address and the ingredients you need, and we'll deliver them to you that very evening."

The officials wrote down the address on a piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan looked at them with a smile and said:

"Also, if you want it cooked, that's no problem either."

We also offer cooked food services, but the prices are correspondingly higher.

The officials stared at each other, asking, "What do you mean by 'prepared food service'?"

"It means we'll cook all the food for you and bring it directly to you. Anyone who wants to heat it up can eat it."

"You've all eaten our food before, and I'm sure it tastes better than what your cooks make," Zhou Wanwan said casually.

The officials nodded and said:

"That's certainly possible. My family is preparing a banquet; we have a wedding feast tomorrow."

Miss Zhou, could you please deliver 20 tables of food to my house tomorrow?

Zhou Wanwan replied, "What kind of specifications do you need for 20 tables? We have several set menus available, would you like to take a look?"

Zhou Wanwan took out several menus and handed them over with a smile, "There are eight different menus here, ranging from simple to luxurious. Which one would you like?"

The officials nearby gathered around to take a look and saw that it was clearly written: a simple wild vegetable meal costs one tael of silver per table, a home-style meal of mountain vegetables costs two taels of silver per table, a meal of rare mushrooms and wild game costs five taels of silver per table, and a meal of fresh vegetables and seafood costs ten taels of silver per table.

A double-portion meal of mountain delicacies costs twenty taels of silver per table; a meal of selected seafood and meat dishes costs fifty taels of silver per table; a meal of supreme delicacies costs eighty taels of silver per table; and a royal banquet-level unparalleled meal costs one hundred taels of silver per table.

An official standing nearby nodded repeatedly, pointing to one of the dishes and laughing:

"In my opinion, this ten-tael fine banquet is just right, respectable yet substantial, and most suitable for our daily interactions and entertaining guests."

I just don't know how effective it will be.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry! You'll see when the time comes."

Other families also placed orders, sourcing a month's worth of vegetables, fruits, and wild game.

They receive deliveries every Zhou Wanwan; of course, these vegetables, fruits, and wild game are graded.

There are four levels in total: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Special Level.

Looking at Zhou Wanwan's list, Prince Rui smiled and said, "I don't know how your brain works, little girl, to come up with so many strange and wonderful things. But it's really quite good."

Zhou Wanwan took out a box of tea and said to them:

"This tea is also very good, a specialty from the mountains. You should take it back and try it."

Also, if you need medicinal herbs, you can order them from me; we grow medicinal herbs in the mountains too.

Zhou Wanwan showed everyone the medicinal herbs in her hand, and everyone stared at them in a daze.

The first box contained a century-old wild ginseng root, its rhizome tightly packed, clearly a rare delicacy nurtured in the deep mountains and wild ridges for over a hundred years.

The second box contains 120-year-old He Shou Wu, the third box contains 150-year-old wild Ganoderma lucidum, as well as 100-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum, 80-year-old Dendrobium officinale, and 100-year-old Cistanche deserticola...

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"Okay, that's all. Don't worry, everyone, all our products are genuine."

However, the prices of all our products will be adjusted according to market fluctuations, please understand.

It's a year of famine, and it's extremely difficult for ordinary people to even get a bite of vegetables, let alone wild game and fruit.

Everyone nodded; coming to the Cui Family was definitely the right decision.

Nie Rou's eyes reddened with jealousy:

"Zhou Wanwan, remember your place. You are my servant. You must do whatever I tell you to do."

Why did you seek out His Highness Prince Rui today?

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"It was clearly His Highness Prince Rui who came to see me, okay?"

Besides, I'm doing legitimate business here; I'm just staying temporarily. Do you really think of me as your servant?

There are advantages to Zhou Wanwan staying at other people's homes; she often encounters VIPs.

She runs a high-end business, and the more VIPs she encounters, the better it is for her business.

She gradually began to make a plan.

Although her uncles also did business in the capital, the journey back and forth was time-consuming and laborious, and even if they could earn some money, it was ultimately limited.

Unlike Zhou Wanwan, who directly delivers ingredients and prepared meals to Prince Rui and the families of officials, this method is both stable and profitable.

This is actually quite similar to the current food delivery service.

Others who want to do takeout need to hire someone to run errands, but Zhou Wanwan doesn't even need to hire someone to run errands.

She now has over 100,000 trees, which is equivalent to over 100,000 free delivery workers.

They're fast, and they also have built-in heat preservation and freshness-preserving effects, so the food is still hot when it's delivered.

You don't have to worry about scaring people when delivering goods at night; the trees move silently in the dark, and no one will see them.

This is both safe and convenient to do; it couldn't be more perfect.

Madam Nie looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Just stay here quietly. What are you doing trying to stand out all day long?"

Madam Cui snorted coldly, "Originally, Yingying could have shown her face in front of Prince Rui today, but now, she's ruined it all."

Cui Yingying also said angrily, "This child is so annoying, Auntie, where did she even come from?"

Young Madam Nie looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"You'd better behave yourself here. Don't you know who you are?"

Tonight, your punishment is to prepare a fine feast, or I'll kick you out.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Young Madam Nie, "Are you serious? Are you sure you want to kick me out? Then just kick me out now!"

She really wants to go out, okay?

Madam Nie sneered:

"Zhou Wanwan, come inside and kneel down. There's no way you're going to kick me out."

"Quickly prepare a few tables of fine food; we'll be having dinner there later."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "How much do you want for the banquet? Look, the prices are all here. Pay first."

Madam Nie sneered, "You've been eating and drinking for free at the Cui Residence, and you still want to spend our money? How dare you!"
