Would She Be So Angry She'd Die?

The snack supplier waved to them and said, "Hello! I'm the owner of the snack supplier, you can call me Xiao Jiu."

Xie Cheng'en looked at him with a smile and said, "Xiao Jiu, what snacks did you bring today?"

Xiao Jiu took out the snacks from her basket and said:

"My snacks are much better than those from the snack shop across the street."

But the price isn't cheap, I don't know if you can afford it.

Xie Cheng'en smiled faintly and said, "Do you know who we are?"

Xiao Jiu shook her head and said:

"I'm not sure about that, but I hope you won't take this opportunity to lower the price."

I've already offered the lowest price for these spirit stones; I can't go any lower because the cost is indeed very high.

But it tastes much better than the snacks over there.

Princess Jianing snorted coldly and said, "I just don't know if it's true or not. Are these snacks safe to eat?"

Xiao Jiu nodded and said, "Try it as you like. If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it."

Princess Jianing opened a snack bag directly. She first unwrapped a package of peanuts, which were coated with a fragrant and crispy dough. They tasted sweet and crunchy.

Then I opened a package of pork jerky. The more I chewed, the more fragrant it became, a hundred times tastier than the jerky sold in stores.

They also brought out sweet and sour hawthorn cake, milky shortbread, seaweed snacks, chewy and smooth fruit cakes, small fish sausages, various fluffy and sweet soft desserts, savory and flavorful twisted dough sticks, candied fruits and dried fruits...

Princess Jianing let out a satisfied burp and exclaimed, "How are these snacks made? They're absolutely delicious! I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dinner tonight!"

Xiao Jiu took out another batch of snacks and said:

"Miss, these are only a part; there are many more here!"

I suggest you try them all; we have a wide variety of snacks. You must be thirsty now, right? We also have drinks.

This is a new drink we have; you can try it.

Princess Jianing looked at the glass bottle and said, "You actually use Liuli to make bottles? Good heavens! Isn't that too extravagant?"

Xiao Jiu said with a smile:

"Yes! That's why our products are very expensive, and our positioning is different."

That over there is only for commoners, ours is for the nobility! Look at these packages, how exquisite! How beautiful!

Princess Jianing looked at the glass bottle and nodded, saying, "It is indeed quite beautiful. I wonder what it tastes like?"

Xiao Jiu opened the glass bottle directly and said, "Please try it."

Princess Jianing took a sip; the taste was exactly like milk tea.

She frowned and said, "Why does this taste so much like milk tea?"

Xiao Jiu chuckled and said:

"Miss, you have quite the insight; this is indeed an improved version of milk tea."

Not only milk tea, but our beverage line also includes fruit tea, herbal tea, soft drinks...

Princess Jianing's eyes widened as she asked, "Soda? What's soda?"

Xiao Jiu took out a bottle of soda and said, "Why don't you try this soda? It might be a little strong at first, but you'll get used to it."

Princess Jianing took a sip of the soda and indeed found it very pungent, but the more she drank, the more intoxicating the taste became.

After eating dozens of kinds of snacks, Princess Jianing and Xie Cheng'en were both burping with satisfaction.

Princess Jianing looked at Xie Cheng'en and asked, "Do you think this business deal is feasible?"

Xie Cheng'en thought for a moment and said:

"What's wrong with doing it? Go ahead and do it if you want! This shop only costs a few dollars!"

But you have to think about it, Zhou Wanwan's snack business is so booming, if we take it away from her, wouldn't she be furious?

Thinking of this possibility, Princess Jianing's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, what I want now is to take over all of Zhou Wanwan's businesses. I want to make her wish she were dead."

Xie Cheng'en said, "She's living too comfortably in the Cold Palace; I can't bear to watch anymore."

Princess Jianing and Xie Cheng'en reached an agreement; their plan was to ruin Zhou Wanwan's shop.

They quickly set up a shop just like Zhou Wanwan's, and Xiao Jiu even hired an artist to paint some very childlike pictures.

Then they changed the interior design, and it looks very beautiful.

The snacks were quickly put on the shelves, and Princess Jianing looked at her shop with great satisfaction. "Your supplier is quite impressive!"

Xiao Jiu said modestly:

"It's what I should do. I have many friends, and if you need any other goods, I can provide them as well."

I have a friend who runs a pharmacy, and all his medicines come from very legitimate sources.

There are also people who make clothes, pastries, and jewelry.

We're all from Jiangnan; feel free to contact me if you need anything.

Xie Cheng'en looked at him and said, "You've come from Jiangnan? No wonder, do you have many friends?"

Xiao Jiu nodded and said, "Of course there are plenty. You can come to me if you need anything."

"Then let's invite them all out. We really need better suppliers right now."

But you need a really good supplier. Can your friends handle that?"

Xiao Jiu humbly cupped his hands in greeting and said:

Whether it's good or bad, you'll have to see it for yourselves to decide. But these friends all come from wealthy families in the Jiangnan region.

It's not certain whether they'll be willing to supply you; I'm just acting as a go-between."

Xie Cheng'en looked at him and said, "Alright, then have them come over tomorrow! I want to see what your friends are like."

Xiao Jiu nodded and turned to leave.

Princess Jianing asked, "Is this Xiao Jiu reliable?"

Xie Cheng'en took out a bag of snacks and said while eating:

"What's unreliable about the person I hired? Aren't these snacks much better than those in Zhou Wanwan's shop?"

Let's see how it goes tomorrow, what if our snack shop becomes a hit! But why are these snacks so expensive?

Princess Jianing looked at the price of the snacks and realized they were indeed a bit more expensive than those at Zhou Wanwan's snack shop, but the quality was definitely better!

Princess Jianing said:

"I'm having all my girlfriends come to support me tomorrow, so you should give it your all too."

Let's strive to expand this snack shop's business to all corners of the world.

Xie Cheng'en smiled and said, "That would be great. Alright, I'll head back now. Let's talk again tomorrow when our shop opens!"

The next day, the snack shop was packed with dignitaries and wealthy young ladies who rushed in to buy snacks.

This snack shop is doing incredibly well.

Princess Jianing, seeing this, exclaimed, "No wonder Zhou Wanwan wants to open a snack shop! She must be making a fortune every day!"

Xie Cheng'en said with a smile:

"Business is absolutely booming! All the ladies and young women from the Upper Capital City must be here!"

Oh dear, thank goodness Xiao Jiu delivered a lot of goods last night, otherwise we wouldn't even have had time to put them on the shelves.

Princess Jianing sat on the second floor, looking at the business across the street, feeling utterly miserable.

She said happily, "It seems that Zhou Wanwan's shop won't be able to stay open for long!"
