Chapter 679: Chapter 679 She Became Famous
Although she was born into a lowly family, from a small village, the emperor himself had complimented her cooking techniques. Furthermore, she had genuinely invented many new dishes, such tangible achievements were impossible not to spread her fame.
Besides, she suspected that her two competition experiences had a part to play.
The first was a contest with Bai Zhi, the second was a challenge against the head chef brought by Yang Wang. Those two contests made her famous in Bailu Academy, known to every student.
These students came from all over Daqi, including many from the Capital City. Now, due to the Township Examinations happening soon, these students would return to their hometowns, and her fame would certainly follow them.
Days at Bailu Academy were rather dull, her two dramas were very amusing. The first time, she outshone Bai Zhi in every aspect, from appearance to taste. The second time, she produced such a fantastic Buddah’s Temptation dish that the scent had half the Martial Arts Training Grounds in an uproar. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel[f]ire.net
What an interesting incident.
What a dramatic effect.
Entertainment in ancient times was sparse, such an event could certainly make an interesting conversation topic.
This involved Bai Zhi, involved Yang Wang, these are royal people. The royals are not to be messed with, but discussing them within the family should be fine, right?
As people continued to talk about these incidents, her fame continued to grow.
With such fame in later generations, it would have certainly been converted into money. Internet celebrities and even stars would advertise small businesses, selling clothes, facial masks, and a variety of other things.
Now, she had become the new internet sensation of Daqi, following the trend of her time, she planned to convert her intangible fame into tangible silver.
Imagine if the Dried Sweet Potatoes she produced indeed become popular, her market would not be limited to Bailu Town moving forward.
Her fruit trees’ hardiness could absolutely withstand long-distance transportation, especially since the route between Bailu Town and the Capital City is the most well-maintained and smooth in Daqi. It is very likely that a transport route between the two places could be developed!
The products she made could be sold to common folk in Bailu and the special ones could be sold to the nobles in the Capital City.
Earning from these nobles couldn’t make her feel even a shred of guilt.
Fair prices, no fraud or deceit. If they consider it too expensive, they can simply choose not to buy.
In the short span of time that it took Tong Sanlang to buy persimmons and carrots from the market, she quickly untangled the messy thoughts in her mind.
Once the thought process became clear, the prospects seemed broad. Countless silver ingots, as if sprouting wings, seem to be fluttering towards her like small angels.
The feeling was fantastically refreshing!
“Sister, what are you laughing about?” Qiao Dami, who had been cracking sunflower seeds under the willow tree, saw Qiao Xiaomai standing frozen near the door, and came running over.
When he looked up, he saw a funny smile on his sister’s face, he couldn’t help but tug on her sleeve.
“Sister, what are you laughing about?”
The juvenile voice of Qiao Dami interrupted Qiao Xiaomai’s dreamy thoughts. Aware of her odd behavior, she quickly adjusted her facial expression. Looking down at Qiao Dami, she said,” Sister is just thinking about how to earn more money.”
Patting his little head, Qiao Xiaomai started to walk towards the willow tree.
Qiao Dami trotted after her,” Then I will study hard to honor our family!”
Qiao Xiaomai could not help but laugh, “Yes! Study hard, grow up and protect our entire family.”
Having a scholar in the family, even if he wasn’t an official, would still be excellent.
